  Speaker 1: Taste Good Our lead this hour. I do love the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: DQ men. I mean I'm on board. I'm in all right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the Pacific Northwest.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It is trade deadline day in baseball, and we had
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a little late night razzle dazzle, which I'm happy about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: As you know, I like to complain. I'm a talk
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: show host. That's what we do. We complain, and I've
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: complained in recent years. It's been a number of years now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: but when I started doing the overnights, we always had
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline that was midnight Eastern and sometimes there'll
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: be extensions and it would spill into the overnight show.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And then this redheaded woman named Rachel Nichols complained in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the NBA, and then they changed it to the afternoon.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Then everyone else followed. So the trade deadline in baseball
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is on here Thursday evening, six o'clock eastern clock in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the West. So that is the lead in. And we've
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: had some activity here in the trade that came down
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: here in the nighttime hours. The Mariners. The Mariners, yes
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that I know. They've never been to the World SCE.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: The Mariners have agreed to a deal to reacquire a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: player they traded in twenty twenty three, a Uhanio Suarez
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: from the Diamondbacks. Now the deal is pending a medical review.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: We're not official yet on what Arizona's getting. It's going
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to be a gaggle of suspects going to the Valley
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of the Sun, so let us discuss the question for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the esteem panel. The Mariners have agreed to a deal
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to acquire a Uhaniosaurres from the Diamondbacks. What's your knee
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: jerk reaction? So my thoughts on this, I've got Clarendon
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Garlic fries and mind virus, and we will combine all
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of these things together and you're gonna make delicious cupcakes.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Because often the Mariners turn into cupcakes and big games,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't go very well. But the moment we
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: are talking right now, the Rangers and Mariners are tied
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for the final wildcard spot in the American League as
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: we were at the trade deadline, and they actually have
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a four game series that begins in Seattle here on
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Thursday night. But my first thought on the trade, the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: transaction for Auhannio Suarez the GM in Seattle, Jerry Depodo
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: has apparently finally woken up from hibernation, right he wiped
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the crust of the spreadsheet out of his eyes there
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and is actually making a move. And it does move
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the needle. Now this is not a full needle blast,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but it moves the needle. Didn't think they had it
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in him. I did not. This counts as a big bopper.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It is a big bopper. You're talking about a guy
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: who this can consistently hit the ball four and forty
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: feet with a smile, a little little swagger, and so
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's out of character, that's my thought. It's out of character.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: For Seattle to make this trade. So I've determined, after
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a minute long Malord investigation, as endorsed by Robbie the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Mariner fan and crying Craig, that the M's front office
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: took some clarity right and they've cleared things up here
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: because normally they're allergic to taking any kind of risk.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And the quote, which is infamous, we've talked about it here,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: one of the great embarrassing moments in recent baseball history.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: A couple of years back, Jerry Depoto, the GM of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Mariners, announced the quiet part out loud. He said,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the goal of the Mariners is to win fifty four
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: percent of their games. It is not to win the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: World Series. It is not to go all in. It
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is just to win enough so you have the illusion
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of contention and your play playing a mathematical equation that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: if you just win fifty four percent of your games,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: eventually you're actually gonna win. Now we know that's meaning
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in the World Series, but that's loser talk, right well,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: not right now this summer, Seattle, right in this moment,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we do the show today, Seattle goes out and they
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: get a dude who has been monster mashing this year,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Suarez has turned back the clock and he's got all
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the nerd porn exit v low launch angle, all that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: stuff the nerds get all horny for. And so assuming
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that he doesn't get to Seattle and forget how to hit,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: he'll he'll be hitting Dingers Suarez into Puget Sound again.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a rental woo pe damn do. He'll
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: be a free agent after the season. He won't be
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: back in Seattle. But regardless of that, if you look
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: around the landscape, I don't know if you've done inventory
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: in the American League, but it is softer than a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: marshmallow and a sauna. The Yankees, even though they won
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: on a walk off, they've been leaking oil the last
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: couple of months. The Tigers completely fell off the schneide,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and don't even get me started on the cheating a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: one one thousand and two one thousand holes. It's wide open,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's wide open. Get in, it's wide open. And Seattle's
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: pitching for the most part, not that they're perfect, but
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they seemingly could go toe to toe with just about anybody,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and they've got that Brian Woo In the American League.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: All they needed was a little thumpty thump in the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: middle of the lineup. And you know, in theory, of
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: course you have to actually do it in the moment.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: But Suarez gives them that. The Mariners, so finally they
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: actually act like a grown up. They actually act like
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they have a pulse. So on the mal of report card,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the Mariners an a. I'm giving the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Mariners an eight. The Poto gets a gold star for
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: actually doing something bold for once, and you got a shot.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You take it. Now. The d Backs they got a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: package of suspects. I can only give them a sea.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: That's it. I can only give them a sea. At
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: some point I'll do a Mallard monologue about what a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: scam the Major League Baseball pipeline is. But I will
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: not do that right now. I will not bore you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with my rant old man radio. Those pipeline it was terrible. Now,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: speaking of stunners, as we get to the trade deadline,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to San Francisco we go, and what do you make
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of the Giants dealing right handed reliever Trevor Rodgers to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the Mets. So you might say, on the surface, well,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: who cares about that? Is just a relief pictures not
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: their closer. I don't understand why you're bringing that up. Well,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the reason this is an interesting story. It's a whirling
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: dervish is what it is. Okay. Just a few weeks ago,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I was sitting next to Marlin's man at Dodgers Dantama
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Giants were playing the Dodgers. About thirty minutes before the game,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it was announced that the San Francisco Baseball team had
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: made a trade with the Boston baseball team for Rafael Devers. Right, amazing,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: big deal. Blew the budget out of the water there,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: tossed it out of the ballpark, out of the bray
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: bridge there, and they said, hey, we're one piece away.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: We need a cornerstone, middle of the lineup player, a
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: classic middle of the lineup hitter, Rafael Devers. They got him.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: They had him for a month or so, and right
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: now they say, turn out the Lights's the parties over
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: sending Trevor Rodgers to New York. So they went, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: this is why it's a whirling dervis. They went, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Giants from chasing the penthouse to now folding up the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: tent and going down to the soup kitchen. They saw
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the standings they felt the heat and they said we're out.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: We are out of here. One minute you're acting like, hey,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: we're buyers. We're gonna take down the Dodgers on the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: mats and these other teams, and the next you're unloading.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: The longest tenured player and Buster Posey sitting in the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: catbird seat there in San Francisco, and he asked the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: question which we like to ask in sports radio, contender
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: or pretender. The classic duck test was used, and if
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it looks like a duck, it walks like a duck,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and it sounds like a duck, it's a duck. In
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: this case, if it looks like a fraud, plays like
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a fraud, it is a fraud. And so we have
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: our answer from Buster Posey. The Giants are a pretender.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: They are a team that was apparently vampires. And we
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of garlic, the Great Garlic Fries there,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and so the vampires were exposed to those garlic fries.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: They could not hang with the big boys, came apart
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the seams. So they've decided that the smart move is
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to cash out, and they've traded their long tenured player Rogers.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: He walks away and yeah, good, look, that is a retreat.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: The Giants waved the flag, they threw in the sponge.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: They said, that's it, so long, thanks for the quirky
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: submarine delivery, and there you go. So they sold you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: some snake oil. And now they're back to where we
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: thought the Giants would be this year, mediocre, and now
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they're confused. Now they're stuck with the malcontent. Raphael Devers,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: good luck on that. He's not exactly enjoying life outside
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Fenway Park. It has not gone that well. All right,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: last word to Anaheim we go. That's right, Anaheim, where
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the Angels made a very minor move. There's a reason
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing this up. So the Angels added to their
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: roster here at the trade deadline. They acquired a couple
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of relievers, Andrew Chaffin, who is thirty five, and Luis Garcia.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: This will be his third time with the Angels. He
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: is the ultimate vagabond baseball place thirty eight. So those
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: guys came over from the Nationals, and the Angels traded
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a left hander and some minor league first basement. So
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it's a very minor trade, but it rises to the level,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: nevertheless of a malad monologue. And here's why. So the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Halo's owner Arti Marino is being blasted that the Angels
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: have added to their roster, that they've added someone rather
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: than holding a garage sale outside the Big A at
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline. So how do you rule on this?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So I really got a kick out of this because
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: some people at least are pretending like they're really worked
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: into a lather over this. And I don't understand why
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you would think that the Angels owner Arti Marino committed
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a war crime based on how some of these nerds
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: are reacting. Now, I stand with Arty. I think Artie
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: is a terrible owner. I think you don't know what
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: he's doing, but I stand with him on this. Right. Listen,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the Halos never go anywhere. They have the longest drought
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: without a playoff appearance. But so what, Arti Marino's seventy
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: eight years old. You think he's signing up for a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: seven year rebuild and just study Baseball America and that's it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Play the minor league game. He already showed you his hands,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Arti Marino showed you his hands, right, You remember he
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: had Otani, the great Otani disaster. Everyone said he's not
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: gonna come back to Anaheim trade Otani. He's gonna go
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. And what did he do? He kept Otani
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the deadline. Everyone said he was nuts, and he said,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going for it anyway. That tells you everything you
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: need to know. So, for better or worse, Arti Marino
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is not and I actually think this is for better.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: He is not infected with the loser virus that you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: are and those other idiots over there are infected with
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that has gone around the league, this contaminant. It's a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: mind virus. Just tank, I need prospects, just hope for
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the best, right pirates have to show for that? What
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: are the Marlins? What do the athletics have to show
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for that? Squad? Douche right? This trade for the Angels,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it's obviously not an all in move. It's not even
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: an all in chip. It's just a flyer. It's a
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: depth move. And the Angels got a couple of guys
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: who probably just eat innings and that's it. It's not
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a big deal. And you want to bury Artie Marino,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: come on, if you're gonna bear him, do it for
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the right reasons. Do it that The fact that he
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: got upset with a sportswriter of the late great T. J. Simers,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: who was a buddy of mine, and move the press
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: box down near the Pearly gates to screw the media.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Get upset with him. I'm so upset with him over that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: But you don't blast him for trying to continue to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: put a competitive team on the field. Now, the Angels
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: have been just average, but I stand with already on
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this one. He didn't light the deadline on fire. And
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: who knows, maybe in the hours to come today the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Angels will make some more trades and they'll trade ken
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Lee Jansen or someone like that. But he didn't at
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: this point, as we're doing the show right now, the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Angels did not sell the lawn furniture. It's just a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: blip on the radar. It's not a blunder. It's not
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a blunder, and I actually like it. It's to me,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: it's refreshing. Oh, you're just an old guy. But it's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: refreshing that they didn't wave the white flag and just
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: give up like half the league does at the trade deadline.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: God forbid a team competes. That's such a that's such
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: an old guy taking Oh my god, what about the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: pipeline A prospect. You gotta get the prospect. Shut up
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: your stupid prospects. Shove him up your tuckers. Anyway, all right,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it is the Ben Mahler Show. I just
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: have seen way too many. I've been scanning trying to things,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you know, find things to the act with you about,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and it's oh, this, this guy is the number seventeen
• 15:51

• 18:41
  Speaker 1: tastes good. I've never met anyone that doesn't like the blizzard.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I've not met anyone that does not enjoy the blizzard.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: All right, So our lead this hour is from baseball.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: We're gonna bounce around trade of note from the Delaware
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Valley and we began the night with the Anio Suarez
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: trade last hour as he goes from Arizona to Seattle.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But there was a trade in the Delaware Valley that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: caught my attention. I know Fats in Philly and Jonathan
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and Delaware also aware of this. So if you didn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: see this, maybe not. The Phillies and Twins played, let's
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: make it to you, and general manager Dave Dombrowski in
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia shipped off an eighteen year old catcher in a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: ball someone named a Duardo Tait that is the centerpiece
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that goes to the Minnesota baseball team in return Johann Duran,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the Twins flame throwing closer. He ends up coming back
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, and of course the prospect Huggers are having
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: a melt out. Oh my god, Dave dom Browski, Oh
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: what is he doing? Oh my, this is Oh they're
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: so upset, they're so bummed out. You traded up one
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of the top one hundred prospects in baseball. Oh my god,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: let us discuss. So the Phillies general manager Dave Dombrowski
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: being called out for giving up too much to get
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Johan Duran from the Twins at the trade deadline. Here,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: what say you? Right, what say you? So Johann Duran
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: goes to Philadelphia and some catching prospect goes to Minnesota.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: So I've got Nanny flank Steak and dark Web, and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we're gonna
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: make the Ben Mahler chicken fingers from the landing over
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: in Liberty, Missouri. That's what we're gonna do, all right.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So my first thought on this number, why I said number,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Why this is a quid pro quot situation. Now, I
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: was always taught, and maybe I'm wrong, that if you
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: want something elite, you have to give up something that's legitimate.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: It's usually how it used to work back in the day.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: So it's not fantasy baseball, it's not majorly. It's major
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: league baseball. It's not some kind of minor league operations.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: So Dave Dombrowski is not some new age geek. He's
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: from the old country Dombrowski, and I like it. He's
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: got big base balls and hair on his chest and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: he's sixty nine years old. He's working, yet again a masterpiece.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: At the trade deadline, Philadelphia needed a closer. They're steroid guy.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Their closer is a cheat steroid cheat, so he's not
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's out the whole thing. So they
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: went out and made a deal. Dombrowski has worked in
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: baseball front offices since it was a mom and pop
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: business and there were were no computers and nerds. He's
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: his first job was with the Chicago White Sox in
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. His first job as general manager by
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: himself was with the old Montreal Expos in nineteen eighty eight.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So it's been a minute, and he knows a thing
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: or two because he's seen a thing or two and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: them is the same Dombrowski. The places he's been, he
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: swings for Grand slams. He doesn't try to hit base hits.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: He goes for Grand slams. He did it with the Tigers,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: he did it with the Red Sox, and now he's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: doing it here and did in Miami as well. Dombrowski
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: understands what matters. He's not sitting around Dombrowski the general
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: manager of the Phillies. He's like, I'm not a nanny.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to babysit some top one hundred prospect
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and maybe he'll be good. A prospect is a suspect
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: until proven other lies. Dombrowski sees the Phillies right now.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: He's absolutely right about this. The window is open. It's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: open if you look at the core of the Phillies
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and when they're clicking, anyone, when they're clicking, it's fun
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to watch. But Philadelphia in that bandbox Ballpark with Bryce Harper,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarz and Trade Turner, they're not just on the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: way up. They're already there, all right. So this is
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: not about, well, we need this catcher. It might be
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: good in twenty twenty nine. If that catcher pans out, man,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: that'd be great. No, by twenty twenty nine, Sward will
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: be gone, Trade Turner will be washed up, and who
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: knows what you're gonna get out of Bryce Harper. This
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: is about winning a World Series right now, and that catcher,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the player whose everyone's all worked up about top one
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: hundred plo, Oh my god, you tradered a top one
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: hundred player A DWARDO'TA oh I can't. But yeah, now,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: could he end up being the next yadi Are Molina? Sure?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: He could also be the next Martin Maldonado's. It's a
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: guessing game. Nobody knows anything. You're projecting greatness because you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: want to believe every one of these minor league players
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: is gonna be great. He's a teenager, he has I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: don't think he's caught a double header in Altuona, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be great In the major leagues. People have
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: this magnetic umbulical cord to the prospect. I'm telling you
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: it bothered me. I know it's gonna annoy me all day.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: When all these other trades happen today. They treat the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: prospect is treated now like a family pet. Right, there's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: this weird separation anxiety, and it's like, dude, it's just baseball.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: The reason you have a minor league system is to
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: enhance the major league roster. These guys are just chess pieces.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: They're not family heirlooms, Okay, they're not. And if you
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: look at what the Phillies needed, and they needed Johan
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: in the intercloser, Johann Duran comes in from the Twins,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: He's there and that's what they needed, right and he's good. Now.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: The guy's a monster. He's under team control through twenty
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. So you need someone to slam the door
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: right now and in those close playoff games, on those
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: chili nights in Philadelphia. You go get him. You don't
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: hope that some eighteen year old catcher is going to
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: blossom in five years and be ready when Bryce Harper
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: is doing commercials for medicare right, you strike while the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Irons hot and Dombrowski He's always gotten it. He always
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: has right. He just builds winning teams. And I like
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the fact also that he's an irritant to those that
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: worship all the nerd numbers. It's not that Dombrowski ignores
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: all that. It's just that he's not married to the formula.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: He's willing to go big, and to me, it's a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: great deal for Philadelphia and for the Twins. If you
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: want to check back in five years as oh ah
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be great. Okay, maybe it will
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: be great, but I'm worried about today. I don't know
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: where I'll be in five years, and neither do you, right,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: So it's an aggressive move. It's a smart move. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: like it, all right. Moving on from that, we're going
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: over to the NFL to Indianapolis. We go that Ash
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Football League, and that is where Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: said recently that he quote, didn't you enough last season?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So how do you categorize that quote from Anthony Richardson?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So this is el capitan as in captain obvious Richardson
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: saying he didn't do enough. Oh really, I wonder where
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: he came to that conclusion. What gave it away? The
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: part where he got hurt every five seconds, or the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: fact that he looked like he was running the wing
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: t offense and that more than that in a minute? Right?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: You know he was drafted. When the Colts drafted him,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it was a big risk. By the late Jim Mercy
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: right said, well, originally he was supposed to be I'm
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: talking about Richardson, developmental player, fourth fifth, sixth round pick.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: He gets drafted in the top ten. He was drafted,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and it's like, well, this is Filet Mignon, right, file Mignon,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the good stuff Kobe beef, and a couple of years later,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson is just an undercooked piece of flank steak,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and they they forgot to season it and it's just bad.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: And your draft after the project and the project didn't
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: work out. You're never supposed to do that, and you
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: just don't. You don't rebuild your franchise around a construction site.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: But they have He tapped out of the Texans game
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: because he was tired, right, and that is going to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: haunt him. You're the quarterback. You're not some toddler. He
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: took himself out of a game for the Colts because
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: he was tired. You don't get nap time on a Sunday.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: You only play seventeen regular season games. You're the face
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: of a billion dollar business. And what are you doing right?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: You're running on three G and a five G league.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: That doesn't work. And I keep going back to just
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the way he has looked Anthony Richardson. He has set
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: offensive football back. He has to the leather helmet era,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: back when the forward pass was just a suggestion.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: You see those old when I was a kid that
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: used to have this thing called NFL films, and they'd
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: show these early NFL videos and you're like, man, there
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: are a lot of slow dudes, and uh, I mean
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of leather helmets. And but he was ranked
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson thirty ninth among quarterbacks. You know, any teams
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that are in the NFL, it's not a trick question. No,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: they're not thirty nine teams. They're thirty two teams, so
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: you know how hard that is to do to be
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: ranked thirty ninth in a thirty two team league. That's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: like finishing dead last in a race where you're the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: only one who showed up and you finished in dead lige.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Like Richardson, we know how this is going to go.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: He hurts a little pinky and he's into the injury
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: tech right, and he makes there's a guy Carson Wentz
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: who played for the Colts and others, but making Carson
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Wentz look like an iron man. And now another indictment
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of Anthony Richardson is he is in a dog fight
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones for QB one. Let me tell you
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: right now, there are a lot of dogs in that room,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: just Daniel Jones and Athey Richardson, and there's also a
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: lot of fleas in that quarterback room. All right, final point.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: We now pivot to medi a Musings, medi A Musings,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: NFL Newshounds, Sparring, NFL Newshounds, Sparring, Pro Football Talks Mike Florio.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Mike Florio put Adam Schefter on Blast Now. He said,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Florio that Schefter is reporting favorably on the Christian Wilkins
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: story due to his agent. David Mullaghetta is the agent
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: there now. Wilkins was fired by the Raiders a few
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: days ago, who are now attempting to void thirty five
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: million in guaranteed money because of some locker room dramenaw
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Schefter claimed that Wilkins kissed a teammate on the forehead
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: playfully at the Raider facility last week. He said, it
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: was just playful. The teammate took a f that Wilkins.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: As a result, they went to HR. Did you even
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: know that you could go to HR if you're an
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: NFL player? I wonder if there HR is in building?
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I know ours is in anyway, Mike
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Florio says, something worse happened with Christian Wilkins and the Raiders,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and that Schefter is, as we said, giving a favorable version.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: He's helping out the Asian, doing him a solid. So
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: how does that taste to you? How does that taste
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to you? So an it's an NFL insider slap fight,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: and to me that is delicious, capital D delicious. You've
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: got Schefter, who I like Adam used to be believe
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it or not. In the early days of Fox Sports
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Radio was on here all the time. He worked for
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the I know him when he first worked in Denver Schefter,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and then as a writer covering the Broncos, and then
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: he worked at the NFL network. He's been a ESPN forever.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: But Schefter's out there saying that Wilks kissed the guy
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: on the forehead like it's some kind of Disney movie
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: or something like that, and it's great. I'm sure he's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: also going to report tomorrow that Wilkins skipped through the facility,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: also holding out a basket of skittles for his teammates.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: The whole thing, it just doesn't pass the smell doest.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: There's obviously more to the story. We are getting a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: version of the truth, but not the whole truth, and
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: nothing but the truth. It sounds like something worse went down,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: something really grimy, really grimy. But if you look at
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it this way, Adam Schefter is an information broker. Think
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of him like a concierge at Caesar's Palace. Right. He
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: gets you the tickets to the show, but only, okay,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: only if you book the room through him. So if
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: you want favorable coverage, you know who you're gonna call.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: And I understand why Mike Florio is all upset at
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: his shack in West Virginia. He's mad because he doesn't
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: get those parks in the circle. He's not one of
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the cool kids. He doesn't get the same juicy text
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: messages from some agent who's peddling off information. Instead, Florio
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: is playing go fish while Adam Schefter is running a
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: private blackjack table, and he's got Drew Rosenhaus and he's
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: got that David Mullaghetta, the other agent over there. Like
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the NFL gossip, And I dabbled in this when I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: had my website many years ago, But the NFL gossip
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: is like the dark Web. You don't really get the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: good stuff unless you trade right. Schefter, he's gonna report
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: some sanitized bedtime story about Christian Wilkins because that way
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Wilkins has an easier path to return to the NFL,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: get more money for the agent, and in return, Boom
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: goes to Dynamite. He gets crab Legs, which is the
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is about to sign a deal with the Cowboys,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and the agent Mullagetta feeds him that info like it's
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a nice five course dinner at a great restaurant. And
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: so it's not journalists. I'm like, none of this is journalism, right,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, journalism is pretty much dead, all of it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Everything's traded. But this is bartering. It's like you give
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a shaggy dog version of the Christian Wilkins meltdown, and
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: then next week or the week after, I will give
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: you an exclusive story. There is video out there of
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: an AFC South coach with his pants down in the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: bathroom at a waffle house, and I will give that
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: story to you because you did me a good mitzvah.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: That's the business. Now. Meanwhile, so Christian Wilkins again, I
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: go back to this and I'm put some feelers out.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: He must have done something beyond bizarre. Right, you don't
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: lose a gig like that, And an NFL team's not
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: going to go to the Lanks to try to get
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: out of thirty five million. Tom Brady's running the show
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders, but thirty five million just over a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: playful kiss on the forehead, like something rotten had to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: take place in Vegas and shifters, He's essentially putting for
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: breeze on a burning dumpster. Is what he's doing at
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: this point. But I will guarantee you one thing I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: know about how this works. The real story, which is
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: juicier and just more out and tastes wonderful. It's out
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: there and it will end up leaking out eventually, and
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: likely sooner than later. That story is going to get out,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned on that.
• 34:32
