Speaker 1: The team that we had last year.
0:01
Speaker 2: We were the youngest team in the big league's the
0:02
Speaker 2: youngest post season roster probably in a in.
0:04
Speaker 1: A long time.
0:05
Speaker 2: I'd love two numbers on that. So I'm excited to
0:07
Speaker 2: see the guys in Lakeland too. That's gonna be a
0:08
Speaker 2: ton of fun.
0:14
Speaker 1: You're surprised at how heavy it is. I want to
0:15
Speaker 1: award guys.
0:16
Speaker 3: I want to thank the.
0:19
Speaker 1: Darn it.
0:19
Speaker 4: I want to thank the Academy.
0:22
Speaker 1: Heavy though.
0:24
Speaker 5: Trophy.
0:25
Speaker 1: It's gotta be PLAQ. If this thing wasn't there, i'd
0:27
Speaker 1: say trophy. But be honest, is it cooler than the
0:30
Speaker 1: m v P?
0:32
Speaker 4: Like, look cooler looking?
0:35
Speaker 1: Probably not? Come on, it's.
0:37
Speaker 6: Got the fingers and everything.
0:38
Speaker 2: I think he is sick though. The most valuable player
0:41
Speaker 2: of the whole league, okay, okay.
0:42
Speaker 5: But you're the most valuable yeah.
0:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then most Valuable Player I think is like
0:47
Speaker 2: a little bit above it.
0:48
Speaker 5: And you guys are asking two different questions.
0:50
Speaker 7: They're saying the Actor Trophy, trophy, Yeah.
0:54
Speaker 6: We're trophy.
0:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a badass one.
0:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. Hey, I'll I'll start this way.
1:01
Speaker 7: So we just did our post show, you know, or
1:03
Speaker 7: post awards wrap up, and we were talking about what
1:06
Speaker 7: stood out, and Ken actually said, s google speech really
1:09
Speaker 7: hit home.
1:09
Speaker 5: So I don't know if you want to tell them
1:11
Speaker 5: what you said.
1:12
Speaker 8: Just how your path parallel the team's path this year.
1:15
Speaker 8: And people don't know all the time, Trek, how much
1:20
Speaker 8: you guys certainly go through in individual cases.
1:23
Speaker 5: Not all guys have the struggles you did.
1:25
Speaker 8: But I imagine tonight, given all that you went through,
1:28
Speaker 8: was that much more satisfying having been through all that
1:31
Speaker 8: and knowing there were down times.
1:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean in my career, but also kind
1:38
Speaker 2: of the it's a little bit similar to my time
1:40
Speaker 2: with the Tigers too. You know, I've been a part
1:43
Speaker 2: of five teams that have sold at the deadline, and
1:45
Speaker 2: then obviously we go and do what we did last
1:47
Speaker 2: season was was great.
1:50
Speaker 1: You know.
1:51
Speaker 2: It took a ton of pressure off me, putting pressure
1:53
Speaker 2: on myself to go kind of chase down an award
1:55
Speaker 2: like this and just got me mentally back into you know,
1:59
Speaker 2: trying to win games and and trying to make the playoffs. So,
2:02
Speaker 2: you know, as much as the playoffs was huge for
2:04
Speaker 2: our team, it was also huge, you know, for me
2:06
Speaker 2: to be able to accomplish something like this. But I mean,
2:09
Speaker 2: everyone's career is pretty unique and and mine's unique to me,
2:13
Speaker 2: you know, And I think it's important to have kids
2:17
Speaker 2: out there understand that you can come from all different
2:19
Speaker 2: backgrounds and kind of achieve what you want to achieve
2:22
Speaker 2: if you put work in.
2:22
Speaker 4: So, yeah, when all those dudes were getting traded and
2:26
Speaker 4: your name was kind of like kind of floated out there,
2:29
Speaker 4: did that distract you? Did you ever think there was
2:32
Speaker 4: a chance that you were going to go to one
2:34
Speaker 4: of these teams that at for you? You guys were
2:36
Speaker 4: looking way up at at that point.
2:38
Speaker 1: In the season. Yeah, Oh, man Orioles could trade a
2:42
Speaker 1: boatload for me.
2:43
Speaker 4: I could be in that on that team they kind
2:45
Speaker 4: of created, oh the you know whatever team. Did you
2:49
Speaker 4: ever think about that and how did you handle that?
2:51
Speaker 1: Yeah?
2:51
Speaker 2: I think there's every trade deadline for the last you know,
2:54
Speaker 2: two or three I've kind of been My name's kind
2:56
Speaker 2: of been, you know, floated around, and the first one
2:59
Speaker 2: probably impacted me a little bit different than the time.
3:03
Speaker 1: Since then, you just learned kind of how to deal
3:04
Speaker 1: with it.
3:06
Speaker 2: But you know, when you're on the TV, I just
3:08
Speaker 2: kind of either leave the room if it's on the TV,
3:11
Speaker 2: or I turn it off.
3:12
Speaker 1: You know or change the channel.
3:14
Speaker 2: I don't really want to, nor do I want my
3:16
Speaker 2: teammates to kind of be thinking about that stuff.
3:18
Speaker 1: You know.
3:18
Speaker 2: I think that that's kind of where there's a little
3:20
Speaker 2: bit more of an impact, is you're losing guys that
3:23
Speaker 2: you anytime you trade away somebody, it sucks. You know,
3:27
Speaker 2: it always is gonna suck as a teammate. But yeah,
3:30
Speaker 2: I just kind of turn the TV off and at
3:33
Speaker 2: the end of the day, all I can control is
3:35
Speaker 2: me doing my job, and that's really it.
3:37
Speaker 6: You know, I have two for you, and it goes
3:40
Speaker 6: off what you just said. Do you guys win the
3:44
Speaker 6: DS if Jack Flaird he doesn't.
3:45
Speaker 1: Try and saw this. I saw this clip because we
3:49
Speaker 1: asked Jack. Yeah. Yeah, so yeah.
3:52
Speaker 2: I mean, I I love Jackie's a hell of a talent.
3:56
Speaker 2: That's such a right I would say. I mean, if
3:59
Speaker 2: there's a guy I wanted to that's that's not me
4:01
Speaker 2: on our team.
4:01
Speaker 1: I want him on the mountain.
4:03
Speaker 2: I mean, he's last season was special. Kper nine was
4:07
Speaker 2: I think career high walks for nine career low. That's
4:10
Speaker 2: kind of the formula right in the in the postseason,
4:12
Speaker 2: is you want guys that can miss bats and get
4:14
Speaker 2: you out of trouble. And you know, you saw his starts.
4:17
Speaker 2: I think he only had one bad one. All the
4:19
Speaker 2: other ones were pretty dominant, you know, in terms of
4:21
Speaker 2: of who he is, and and uh he was going
4:24
Speaker 2: through some stuff too, you know, physically with his body
4:26
Speaker 2: and just him being able to take the ball every
4:28
Speaker 2: fifth day. You see the toughness of that kind of guy
4:31
Speaker 2: has and I think he you know, has the respect
4:33
Speaker 2: to the guys in our clubhouse. And you know, I'd
4:35
Speaker 2: love to have him back free agent, but Harris, I
4:40
Speaker 2: love to have him. Yeah, that business side of the game.
4:43
Speaker 2: I just don't quite understand yet, you know why he's
4:46
Speaker 2: not with the team.
4:46
Speaker 1: But have you texted Jack?
4:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, well not like I just I saw a little rumor.
4:52
Speaker 2: I go, hey, what's up? Yeah, I had that little conversation.
4:55
Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, yeah, I'd love to have him back.
4:57
Speaker 6: How much Hinch introduce you to I and give a
5:02
Speaker 6: great introduction to you, and he said, you know, you
5:04
Speaker 6: guys had the pitching chaos and the whole deal, and
5:06
Speaker 6: you get to the playoffs and you were the one
5:08
Speaker 6: guy you could count. How much pressures on you when
5:10
Speaker 6: you know you're basically the only starter you guys really had.
5:14
Speaker 6: So you have to go six, seven, eight innings every
5:16
Speaker 6: time out there's guy at some point you're like, man,
5:19
Speaker 6: I got to do everything right on your day.
5:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I look at us as a privilege
5:25
Speaker 2: to have the trust that he instills in me and
5:27
Speaker 2: the organization you know, instilled in me and the guys
5:30
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse, you know kind of how they felt too.
5:33
Speaker 2: So it's huge to have that trust with our guys
5:35
Speaker 2: because I think on days that I went, myself included,
5:38
Speaker 2: we all expected to win, you know, and and it showed,
5:42
Speaker 2: you know, and it was it was fun to be
5:45
Speaker 2: a part of. But but also the other you know,
5:48
Speaker 2: twelve guys we had, we were really good in their roles,
5:51
Speaker 2: you know it. I think the chaos wouldn't have worked.
5:55
Speaker 2: You know, if if it didn't work, it wouldn't have
5:57
Speaker 2: became what it became, you know what I mean. You know,
6:00
Speaker 2: I think if guys struggled or you know, we weren't winning,
6:03
Speaker 2: I don't think the chaos happens. You know, we probably
6:05
Speaker 2: go to a more traditional route. But the fact that
6:08
Speaker 2: it was winning, you know, working and winning what those
6:12
Speaker 2: guys did, I thought was even more impressive because no
6:14
Speaker 2: one knew what day they were throwing. Routines were all
6:17
Speaker 2: thrown off. Guys are getting called up from Triple A
6:19
Speaker 2: that didn't have as much success in Triple as they
6:22
Speaker 2: probably would have liked, even if you ask them, and
6:24
Speaker 2: they're getting called up and they're doing it on the
6:26
Speaker 2: biggest stage, you know for us. You know, Sean Gunther's
6:30
Speaker 2: one that comes to mind. He comes in Houston and
6:33
Speaker 2: shoves Lefty and shoves and walks off the mountain with
6:37
Speaker 2: the biggest set of balls that you've ever seen. And
6:39
Speaker 2: it's like, look at his career, you know, or his
6:43
Speaker 2: you know backstory, It's it's amazing. So watching those guys
6:46
Speaker 2: do that was was just as impressive as anything that
6:49
Speaker 2: I did on the mountain.
6:50
Speaker 4: Do you remember that feeling sitting in the dugout because
6:53
Speaker 4: we were watching and getting excited for these games? That
6:57
Speaker 4: feeling sitting in the dugout after if the Guardians had
7:00
Speaker 4: taken the lead, because they showed you they showed your
7:04
Speaker 4: camera right on your face and the done out and
7:06
Speaker 4: you were like what was going through your head in
7:09
Speaker 4: that moment when you sat down.
7:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've lived it a lot, I'll live it again
7:13
Speaker 2: for you guys, Yeah, it was.
7:16
Speaker 1: Uh, it was tough.
7:18
Speaker 2: You know, obviously giving up a Grand Slam five runs
7:20
Speaker 2: in one inning. Those are the only runs that gave
7:23
Speaker 2: up in the postseason. Were just happened to be in
7:25
Speaker 2: one inning. Yeah it was. It was tough in the moment.
7:30
Speaker 2: You feel like he let the team down, right, But
7:34
Speaker 2: what I loved about that whole situation was A j
7:36
Speaker 2: didn't take me out of the game. He left me
7:38
Speaker 2: in the game. I go out and get three more
7:40
Speaker 2: team pinch in the game. Yeah, uh, leaves me in
7:46
Speaker 2: the game. Lets me go get three more outs. And
7:49
Speaker 2: I was ready to go as many more outs as
7:50
Speaker 2: as he needed out of me. You know, I think
7:52
Speaker 2: that that was. That was pretty cool. And just to
7:54
Speaker 2: have that trust and respect out of out of your
7:57
Speaker 2: manager in that situation when we're down five to whatever
8:00
Speaker 2: we were, it was.
8:02
Speaker 1: It was cool and kind of I mean, the season ends, right,
8:05
Speaker 1: but it was.
8:07
Speaker 2: It was a cool clubhouse afterwards. You know, no one
8:09
Speaker 2: was down on themselves. You know, everyone was like, hey,
8:12
Speaker 2: let's let's run it back, you know, And I think
8:14
Speaker 2: that that was that was pretty special. You know, to
8:17
Speaker 2: be a part of there was you know a couple
8:18
Speaker 2: of guys that are down, and it's like, hey, we
8:21
Speaker 2: were running with house money and we had a hell
8:23
Speaker 2: of a run.
8:23
Speaker 1: So it was it was fun.
8:26
Speaker 6: Okay, let's get some a little more positive. Where are
8:28
Speaker 6: you putting that trophy or the plaque trophy whatever? Yeah,
8:33
Speaker 6: because sales sales here. And you said he gave it
8:34
Speaker 6: to his dad. Yeah, we are you gonna hang in your
8:36
Speaker 6: out because Corbn birds like hung in his locker. So
8:39
Speaker 6: everyone that walked by I had to bow. Remember that
8:41
Speaker 6: he had it like above his head and his locker.
8:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:44
Speaker 2: The one thing, the one thing I didn't like about
8:48
Speaker 2: not that I didn't like when the young was the award.
8:50
Speaker 1: Waited until today to get it?
8:52
Speaker 2: When I want it two months ago, It's like I
8:54
Speaker 2: would have I would have been in my office every
8:56
Speaker 2: day with it behind me. You know, I'm playing my
8:58
Speaker 2: video games. Look back video games. But uh yeah, it'll
9:03
Speaker 2: it'll probably come with me, uh to Lakeland and then
9:06
Speaker 2: Detroit and then you know, back to Arizona.
9:08
Speaker 6: And I got a great while you're in Lakeland. I
9:09
Speaker 6: got a great place for it my house. I live
9:13
Speaker 6: thirty minutes when you live in Land, I live in Land.
9:16
Speaker 6: Lakeland was looking at me, He's like you live in Lakeland.
9:22
Speaker 1: Likely I like that he went to Lakeland. Know you're
9:27
Speaker 1: that's right.
9:28
Speaker 5: Your side is closer to Lakeland, right, Yeah.
9:31
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:32
Speaker 5: My question is why would he.
9:33
Speaker 6: Put it in your Would you rather have it in Lakeland,
9:35
Speaker 6: in some random house or my house?
9:36
Speaker 1: It's secure.
9:37
Speaker 2: Actually go to Lakeland with me, because I'm saying, see
9:40
Speaker 2: now how you'll probably have it shipped up.
9:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, Detroit.
9:43
Speaker 2: Have your wife bringing when she comes to Maybe I'll
9:45
Speaker 2: bring it. I like that bringing to the clubhouse and
9:47
Speaker 2: just put it. Maybe I might hang it above my lock.
9:50
Speaker 1: It might be a good idea.
9:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, it would be motivating for the rest of the staff. Yeah,
9:54
Speaker 7: it's not a bad idea.
9:55
Speaker 1: That's true.
9:56
Speaker 8: Yea.
9:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's way too humble to do that.
9:59
Speaker 1: I but it is. It is a It's just it's
10:04
Speaker 1: a flex.
10:04
Speaker 5: Yeah.
10:05
Speaker 7: Hey, I got one more for you. So you're the
10:07
Speaker 7: best pitcher in the league. We saw Boris here today.
10:11
Speaker 7: Does he ever get any phone calls in the off
10:13
Speaker 7: season from the Tigers, like, Hey, you want to have
10:14

10:26
Speaker 1: He's had some guys he's got to take care of.
10:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, you let him handle all of that?
10:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I trust him with with everything
10:33
Speaker 2: he's He's led me nothing but to the right places
10:35
Speaker 2: and in the way he's handled my career and through
10:37
Speaker 2: the whole draft process, he's been great. So I truly
10:41
Speaker 2: meant what I said, you know, when he gives me
10:42
Speaker 2: every resource to where the whole business side of the game,
10:45
Speaker 2: I don't I don't like thinking about it.
10:47
Speaker 1: I don't really want to handle it.
10:49
Speaker 2: I'll let the guys who are you know I pay
10:51
Speaker 2: to handle it, and I'm gonna go play baseball. So
10:53
Speaker 2: that's what I love the game, you know, That's that's
10:56
Speaker 2: where I want to keep my focus.
10:58
Speaker 7: Okay, cool and feeling good about the roster. Yeah yeah,
11:02
Speaker 7: I mean there could be like one more like Bregman.
11:05

Speaker 2: I mean, the team that we had last year, we
11:23
Speaker 2: were the youngest team in the Big league's youngest post
11:25
Speaker 2: season roster probably in a long time.
11:28
Speaker 1: I'd love to see numbers on that.
11:29
Speaker 2: So we didn't lose anyone on that postseason roster to
11:33
Speaker 2: free agency or non tender or anything like that. So
11:37
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of growth in that sense too.
11:39
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see kind of the future and
11:41
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see the guys in Lakeland too.
11:43
Speaker 1: That's going to be a ton of fun.
11:44
Speaker 2: And to compete each other against each other early is fun,
11:48
Speaker 2: you know, and then take that right in the spring
11:50
Speaker 2: training and start beating other teams up pretty good.
11:53

13:24
Speaker 3: is like he's famous on our team for saying, Hey,

13:45
Speaker 3: are going to look at us a little differently because
13:46
Speaker 3: we're coming into the season, coming off the playoffs and
13:49
Speaker 3: and the run and all that stuff, and and and
13:52
Speaker 3: so I in the standards you know, are kind of
13:54
Speaker 3: new and it's set, and I think, you know, we
13:56
Speaker 3: have an opportunity. I've said it forward, like, hey, I
13:58
Speaker 3: want to win the division, you know, and that to
14:00
Speaker 3: do that, we got to go over through stephen Votes team,
14:03
Speaker 3: We got to go through the Royals, we got to
14:04
Speaker 3: go through Minnesota.
14:06
Speaker 1: And do our part.
14:08
Speaker 3: So hopefully we just don't wait till the last six
14:10
Speaker 3: weeks to do it and get off to a better start.
14:13
Speaker 8: Hey Ja, When Tarik was here, he mentioned how the
14:16
Speaker 8: team has sold the deadline every year of his career,
14:18
Speaker 8: essentially this year after you traded Flaherty and where you
14:22
Speaker 8: were at that point in this season.
14:24
Speaker 5: How did you hold it together?
14:25
Speaker 8: How did you get to the point where that run
14:28
Speaker 8: was possible?
14:29
Speaker 5: Well?
14:29
Speaker 3: I needed a day or two, you know, cause I didn't.
14:32
Speaker 3: I don't love it at all. I mean, obviously, as
14:34
Speaker 3: the manager, you want to win, and you want your
14:37
Speaker 3: players to win, and you want them to experience it.
14:40
Speaker 3: And I remember having a meeting shortly after the deadline,
14:43
Speaker 3: and we got in our room and got everybody together.
14:46
Speaker 3: I got everybody's attention, and I looked around.
14:47
Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, who's won in here before?
14:50
Speaker 3: And Matt Erling, who was with the Phillies on their
14:52
Speaker 3: World Series team, was one of the only guys that
14:55
Speaker 3: could actually raise his hand and say, hey, I've won before.
14:58
Speaker 3: Nobody else had won, and certainly nobody he had won
15:00
Speaker 3: its Tigers, And so you know, I asked what kind
15:03
Speaker 3: of team you want to be and and what we
15:05
Speaker 3: need to do in order to be better. And in
15:08
Speaker 3: the next day, guys like Terrek and Riley Green and
15:11
Speaker 3: we got carp healthy, got Riley healthy. You know, we
15:14
Speaker 3: started to buy into I mean, I meant it when
15:17
Speaker 3: I said like Trek Schouble and pitching chaos like it
15:19
Speaker 3: was chaos, but it was the best chance for us
15:22
Speaker 3: to win more games. And the more we won, the
15:23
Speaker 3: more confident we got. And and look where it took us.
15:27
Speaker 1: What do we not know about Trek Scouble.
15:30
Speaker 4: I mean, he's on a he's on a national stage.
15:32
Speaker 4: He's the guy, he's your horse, he's got he was
15:36
Speaker 4: sitting here with his award. He's humble, he's accessible, he
15:40
Speaker 4: gets it like he's just very aware.
15:41
Speaker 1: But what do we not know about so?
15:43
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously he's a guy that that you know,
15:47
Speaker 3: probably hates losing more than he likes winning.
15:50
Speaker 1: Like he is a very.
15:53
Speaker 3: You know, very high bar for himself. His standards are
15:56
Speaker 3: really high. Like all these dudes, the aces, these front
15:58
Speaker 3: of the rotation dudes, like they're they're amazing, right with
16:01
Speaker 3: what they do and how they go about the prep
16:02
Speaker 3: is there. I think the accountability part is what fans
16:07
Speaker 3: and people around the game don't know. He'll have a
16:10
Speaker 3: bad game, I'll pull him out. And Terrek has had
16:12
Speaker 3: so many good games. I've gotten to witness it from
16:15
Speaker 3: the top row. And he hates coming out of games,
16:17
Speaker 3: and so there's always that interaction, like.
16:18
Speaker 5: Hey, coming out of game, you know, if.
16:20
Speaker 3: I do it on the mound, it's public, and he
16:22
Speaker 3: won't really embarrass me or won't try to be too
16:24
Speaker 3: big a deal. One day I brought him into the
16:26
Speaker 3: into the dugout and I was like, hey, listen, I'm
16:28
Speaker 3: gonna go with somebody different.
16:29
Speaker 1: You're done.
16:30
Speaker 3: And he's like why, And I'm like why, and he's like,
16:32
Speaker 3: tell me I sucked, tell me I sucked. He just
16:35
Speaker 3: wanted to know, tell me I sucked. And that became
16:37
Speaker 3: like kind of a funny story between him and I
16:40
Speaker 3: to to say he all he wants his accountability.
16:42
Speaker 8: And yet he said when you left him here in
16:44
Speaker 8: that game against the Guardians, when he gave up the
16:46
Speaker 8: five runs.
16:47
Speaker 5: That was a big deal to him that you didn't
16:49
Speaker 5: take him out.
16:49
Speaker 3: I'll trust him, you know, until he can't pitch. I mean,
16:53
Speaker 3: he is the guy you want on the mound and
16:54
Speaker 3: the biggest moment of the season, and I'll put I'll
16:57
Speaker 3: put him on the mound every single chance I get.
17:00
Speaker 4: You couldn't take him. He's a monster. So he says
17:02
Speaker 4: he's going back out.
17:04
Speaker 1: Let him. You do You do it, Charlie manual.
17:06
Speaker 3: You know what The best part of this, this part
17:08
Speaker 3: was is that we stayed on on air. We stayed
