- 0:39Speaker 3: tonight against the Astros. We heard from Hunter Bombguart's interview
- 0:42Speaker 3: with Kyle Harrison, which was excellent. Great if you're looking
- 0:45Speaker 3: for more Brewers content to wet your whistle before the
- 0:48Speaker 3: game starts tonight.
- 0:50Speaker 1: The Athletic Good Good website. Yes.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Tyler Kepner, friend of the program, baseball writer for a
- 0:56Speaker 3: long time. He has a story about Cooper Pratt. He
- 0:58Speaker 3: went to Nashville and interviewed Cooper Pratt and some brewers types.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Matt Arnold quoted in there as well as this scout
- 1:05Speaker 3: here who recommended Cooper Pratt to the brewers. It was
- 1:11Speaker 3: also it's Scott Nichols, also the guy who recommended a
- 1:14Speaker 3: kid named Brandon Woodruff that he liked.
- 1:16Speaker 4: All right, I like Scott Nichols already. That's going to
- 1:19Speaker 4: be the one that you hang your hat on.
- 1:20Speaker 3: I'm going to be a fact about Scott Nichols on
- 1:22Speaker 3: draft day, how he was dying because he wanted to
- 1:24Speaker 3: see this kid taken, and he couldn't believe he thought
- 1:26Speaker 3: he was Cooper Pratt was a first round pick and
- 1:29Speaker 3: not like a fifth round pick or a sixth round pick.
- 1:31Speaker 3: And he was, you know, he compared him to Austin
- 1:34Speaker 3: Riley the Braves, and Gunner Henderson of the Orioles.
- 1:37Speaker 1: It's pretty elite company. Pretty yeah.
- 1:39Speaker 3: And so after the third round, Scott Nichols said he
- 1:41Speaker 3: turned it off. He's like, this is crazy. We still
- 1:43Speaker 3: hadn't taken him, and his dad was texting me, what's
- 1:46Speaker 3: going on. I told him I turned it off. Russ
- 1:48Speaker 3: I was so upset. Then my supervisor called said, we're
- 1:51Speaker 3: taking your boy here, and that was the sixth round.
- 1:52Speaker 1: We're taking your boy off.
- 1:54Speaker 3: At the time he was drafted, Cooper Pratt was that
- 1:57Speaker 3: old miss picking up a parking pass because he was
- 1:59Speaker 3: getting ready to go place.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Goodness, when you get.
- 2:03Speaker 2: The affirmation as a scout that like, all right, we're
- 2:06Speaker 2: taking your guy, that's got to be a great feeling.
- 2:08Speaker 1: It's got to be something.
- 2:09Speaker 2: It's also got to be one of those like all right, well,
- 2:10Speaker 2: I'm gonna come through for me, all right, But it's
- 2:13Speaker 2: nice to know they trusted your opinion.
- 2:14Speaker 3: We're taking your and now your boys eight years and
- 2:17Speaker 3: fifty million dollars. Yeah, and it's it's a matter of when,
- 2:22Speaker 3: not if he.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Gets to the big league, and sometimes it's a matter
- 2:25Speaker 2: of yeah, I'm sure they're not upset now that he
- 2:27Speaker 2: didn't go earlier in the draft when he got offered
- 2:29Speaker 2: a deal like that.
- 2:29Speaker 3: He got pumped up to Triple A and got a
- 2:31Speaker 3: little bit slow start acclimating to the improved level of pitching.
- 2:34Speaker 1: But now he's starting to hit.
- 2:36Speaker 3: And there's a great quote Rick sweet who is like
- 2:38Speaker 3: an unsung hero in the Burghs organization, their Triple A
- 2:41Speaker 3: managing time.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Yep, Sweetie, great dude, you only hear good stories. Yeah.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Uh, he said in this article by Tyler Kapner. Quote,
- 2:48Speaker 3: he could go up right now. And now Rick Sweet
- 2:52Speaker 3: has experienced with middle infielders on the rise because he
- 2:55Speaker 3: also managed Bryce Terran.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Yeah, thats just through rocket Field said.
- 2:58Speaker 3: When Terang played for me in twenty twenty two, he
- 3:01Speaker 3: was twenty two, and I look at Cooper Pratt at
- 3:03Speaker 3: twenty one, and he's ahead.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Of where Tarang was.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Come on, Rick, oh, he's going to hit and he's
- 3:09Speaker 3: starting to hit now. We just had to get him
- 3:10Speaker 3: focused on competing in the game. You get to that
- 3:12Speaker 3: level where all of a sudden, pictures are pretty good
- 3:14Speaker 3: and for the first month he's barely hitting one hundred.
- 3:17Speaker 3: So he had to learn how you compete at this level.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But Cooper Pratt is going to be a major league short.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Style and I think it's a that's another good lesson
- 3:23Speaker 1: in patience.
- 3:24Speaker 2: You know when Bryce, when Bryce first came up, obviously
- 3:27Speaker 2: he was his struggles were hitting, you.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Know, obviously always a good defender.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Took him a couple of years and now he's one
- 3:32Speaker 2: of the most important bats in the lineup.
- 3:34Speaker 1: So that's the other thing.
- 3:36Speaker 2: If he comes up and doesn't hit the first week,
- 3:37Speaker 2: don't freak out.
- 3:38Speaker 3: The thing about Pratt is that he's six' four one ninety.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Five that's like rip. Canesque To witch, say it's like
- 3:45Speaker 3: the big shortstop.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Model that is not a that's not how they build
- 3:49Speaker 2: him necessarily in the shortstop.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Laugh. Yeah.
- 3:51Speaker 3: No and then of course the other, prospect the DOUBLE
- 3:55Speaker 3: a version is. Made who's playing his ass off right
- 3:58Speaker 3: just Destroying DOUBLE? A so does Is pratt? Made is
- 4:03Speaker 3: at the left side of the infield moving? Forward very? Likely,
- 4:07Speaker 3: well it is trending that.
- 4:09Speaker 4: WAY i was going to say left side of the
- 4:10Speaker 4: infield moving, forward especially if if anything comes of the
- 4:15Speaker 4: first two proposals that you've seen possibly coming From Major League,
- 4:18Speaker 4: baseball that maybe you'd be incentivized to pay somebody over
- 4:21Speaker 4: on the right side because you have to hit some
- 4:23Speaker 4: a certain threshold of cash that has to be paid
- 4:26Speaker 4: out to some. Players but those two are going to
- 4:29Speaker 4: be on the opening day?
- 4:32Speaker 1: Roster?
- 4:32Speaker 4: What no later than twenty, Eight, yeah for, sure BECAUSE
- 4:36Speaker 4: i think it's just going to be. Difficult the Way
- 4:38Speaker 4: maday has continued to, Develop he's not going to stay
- 4:40Speaker 4: in DOUBLE, A i could imagine for the entire. Season
- 4:42Speaker 4: and then once he gets To TRIPLE, a and if
- 4:44Speaker 4: he continues to prove what he's done right, now, again
- 4:47Speaker 4: you're just going to be it's going to be a
- 4:49Speaker 4: race to either get him up here to start the
- 4:52Speaker 4: season next, year or maybe it's a race to try
- 4:54Speaker 4: to get him signed before he gets up.
- 4:55Speaker 1: THERE i always wonder if if guys like, that you,
- 4:57Speaker 1: know in the same.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Organization obviously you're playing for the same, team but it,
- 5:01Speaker 2: is you, know an individual sport in some regards when
- 5:04Speaker 2: you're in the minor, league because you're all racing for
- 5:05Speaker 2: spots in the big, leagues so they see it as
- 5:07Speaker 2: that sort of. Race like we both know we're big time.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Prospects we both know we have a future with this
- 5:12Speaker 2: team in, theory but it's, like you, Know i'm always
- 5:14Speaker 2: looking over my shoulder to see what he's doing BECAUSE
- 5:16Speaker 2: i have to be matching.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Him AND i don't want to be falling.
- 5:18Speaker 2: BEHIND i always, wonder especially if they're playing both playing
- 5:21Speaker 2: similar spots in field, spots and then all of a
- 5:23Speaker 2: sudden one gets. Signed we don't know if other guys
- 5:26Speaker 2: have been offered these type of deals and just hadn't taken, them,
- 5:28Speaker 2: right that's the other. Thing people don't think about. It it's,
- 5:29Speaker 2: like all, right sure The packers Shows Cooper. Pratt, well
- 5:31Speaker 2: not necessarily maybe mode AIR paini you have been offered
- 5:34Speaker 2: these deals are going to be, offered and haven't taken
- 5:35Speaker 2: them yet. Either SO i always wonder what that kind
- 5:38Speaker 2: of dynamic, is, like you, know coming up in the
- 5:40Speaker 2: minor leagues together that we're both, young obviously, impressionable want
- 5:44Speaker 2: to make a big, impact we both want to make
- 5:46Speaker 2: the team and make money and all these. Things is
- 5:49Speaker 2: it like this guy's my future, teammates SO i have
- 5:51Speaker 2: to treat it as, such Or i'm kind of in
- 5:53Speaker 2: a competition with. Him, sure it's a little bit of.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Both i'm not saying it's A Kyler. Murray, yeah it
- 6:00Speaker 2: didn't have to be, awkward didn't have to just be
- 6:02Speaker 2: one kid in class and the other kid on the
- 6:03Speaker 2: other side of the.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Classroom but, also competition is a healthy, thing, right like
- 6:07Speaker 4: it's it's the right thing to, Have so it doesn't
- 6:09Speaker 4: necessarily mean that it's a. NEGATIVE i also wonder how
- 6:14Speaker 4: much we'll we'll look at The pratt. Deal what eight
- 6:16Speaker 4: years fifty?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Million was?
- 6:17Speaker 4: It ten years for The Connor griffin fellow In. Pittsburgh
- 6:22Speaker 4: there are so many numbers of these deals over the
- 6:24Speaker 4: last you, know eighteen months for middle Infielders, drew that
- 6:28Speaker 4: you can kind of circle it around and see how
- 6:31Speaker 4: much value you're getting out of the deal and how
- 6:33Speaker 4: much all of them perform comparably to each.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Other nine to one forty.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Is What Connor griffin, got according to THE, u and
- 6:40Speaker 2: then the kid In seattle just got another massive deal as.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Well now those guys were also like the top five
- 6:45Speaker 2: prospects in, baseball similarly more to where made would be
- 6:49Speaker 2: right for and that maybe would be in his price
- 6:51Speaker 2: range instead of where The Cooper pratt.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Deal would be.
- 6:54Speaker 3: At that's interesting, times especially against the backdrop of THE
- 6:57Speaker 3: cba negotiations that are the opening volley's been thrown out.
- 7:02Speaker 1: There i've, Been i've, Been i've been anxiously waiting.
- 7:04Speaker 4: To get your perspective on, it, true because you've you've
- 7:07Speaker 4: seen all the levels of this that you've.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Got a little bit more to.
- 7:12Speaker 4: It the first substance in ninety four that the salary
- 7:15Speaker 4: cap has been proposed has been ass has Been there's
- 7:18Speaker 4: a lot of opinions on, it some believing that it's
- 7:21Speaker 4: a little bit of posturing knowing that there's no chance
- 7:23Speaker 4: that it could.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Happen what did you see yesterday in the towne.
- 7:26Speaker 3: NUMBERS i don't think the union is as uh union
- 7:30Speaker 3: unified as it was back, then AND.
- 7:32Speaker 4: I don't think it's as feared as it was again
- 7:34Speaker 4: pardon the pun, One, yeah As donald was running on.
- 7:36Speaker 3: It, yeah they've lost a little bit because they have
- 7:39Speaker 3: so much and it's just killing the golden. Goose baseball
- 7:42Speaker 3: has done so many things right recently that this would
- 7:44Speaker 3: be like the sand in the gears. Here players historically
- 7:49Speaker 3: oppose a, cap but you, know look at everything else that's,
- 7:53Speaker 3: happened like the pitch clock and the expanded, Playoffs like.
- 7:56Speaker 1: They've done a good.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Job so players are against, cap but a salary floor would.
- 8:00Speaker 3: HELP i think there's it's going to be another. Layer
- 8:02Speaker 3: is like in order to get the cap that the owners,
- 8:05Speaker 3: want they're gonna have to uh mess with the reserve,
- 8:08Speaker 3: Clause like you're going to let them get to free
- 8:10Speaker 3: agency before six, years or let them get to arbitration
- 8:13Speaker 3: after two or you, know after one or. Something there
- 8:15Speaker 3: will be some sort of concession on that. End but
- 8:19Speaker 3: and Then baseball is going to make the argument that
- 8:22Speaker 3: the last ten titles have been won by big market.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Teams even though The rays and The brewers are great
- 8:26Speaker 3: stories and, competitive they don't. Win and baseball has like
- 8:31Speaker 3: the research empirically that people are sick of all the
- 8:33Speaker 3: good players going to The dodgers for. Sure, yeah, there
- 8:36Speaker 3: people are tired of, that and they're wondering why can't
- 8:39Speaker 3: in THE. Nba you, know nobody In Oklahoma city is
- 8:42Speaker 3: worried that they're going to LOSE.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Sga, right it's like they can keep Him Mahomes Kansas,
- 8:47Speaker 1: city same. Deal.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Yeah and then it's then it comes to like they're
- 8:52Speaker 3: going to have they want to have not only a luxury,
- 8:54Speaker 3: tax but at.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Tax if you're under the, floor, yeah then you have to.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Pay like those teams will have hard on both. Sides,
- 9:00Speaker 1: yeah so it.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Is it's a fascinating thing BECAUSE i philosophically the players
- 9:05Speaker 3: are opposed to a, cap but the cap and a
- 9:07Speaker 3: floor might actually help more guys make more. Money that's
- 9:10Speaker 3: where the rank and file is going to be split on.
- 9:12Speaker 4: This that floor was, Significant LIKE i GUESS i didn't
- 9:16Speaker 4: anticipate the floor would be as drastic as it would.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Be.
- 9:20Speaker 4: Now the initial numbers in the proposal was a fifty
- 9:24Speaker 4: to fifty revenue split and flattening all of the television. Revenue,
- 9:28Speaker 4: right so The dodgers' local television rights are over three
- 9:31Speaker 4: hundred million. Dollars The brewers amongst other thirteen or fourteen
- 9:35Speaker 4: clubs In Major League BASEBALL, mlbs i'd, sing they're, broadcast
- 9:40Speaker 4: so all of that money would be split through and
- 9:42Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy one seventy one point two million
- 9:46Speaker 4: for the floor and two hundred and forty five point
- 9:48Speaker 4: three million for the cap proposing twenty twenty, seven WHERE
- 9:52Speaker 4: i think there were eleven teams that would be underneath
- 9:55Speaker 4: that one hundred and seventy one.
- 9:56Speaker 2: That's the median right now in THE nfl from the
- 9:58Speaker 2: List i'm, seeing at least it might all.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Right so there are twelve teams that would need to
- 10:02Speaker 3: grow their payroll for under the twenty twenty seven for this,
- 10:05Speaker 3: proposal and they would have to be a combined six
- 10:08Speaker 3: hundred and seventeen million dollars for the twelve, Teams and
- 10:10Speaker 3: The brewers are one of those twelve.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Teams, yeah by about what thirty forty.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Million, Athletics White, Sox, Reds, Guardians, Rockies, Marlins, Brewers, Twins, Pirates, Cardinals,
- 10:19Speaker 3: rays And. Nationals now that is so six hundred and seventeen,
- 10:23Speaker 3: million they would have to step up and. Pay but
- 10:25Speaker 3: the eight teams at the top looking at, You, Atlanta Boston, Dodgers, Metts, Yankees, Phillies,
- 10:31Speaker 3: padres And Blue jays would have to shave their payroll
- 10:34Speaker 3: under these rules by five hundred and seventy eight. Million
- 10:37Speaker 3: so it's like it's you're taking off the top and
- 10:39Speaker 3: putting it at the, bottom and they're hoping that that
- 10:41Speaker 3: would lead to competitive, balance which is what they want
- 10:43Speaker 3: and what surveys say the fans.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Want it's more competitive.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Balance it's been it's been asked for for a long
- 10:49Speaker 4: long time for the. Fans, now WHAT i do think
- 10:51Speaker 4: we understand in these leagues is they'll tell you that
- 10:54Speaker 4: they're doing exactly what the fans, want that that's not Necessarily,
- 10:56Speaker 4: YEAH a big part of, it as they're, doing is
- 10:59Speaker 4: wanting to figure out what television networks are going to
- 11:01Speaker 4: want and what different television.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Buyers are going to.
- 11:03Speaker 4: WANT i also believe part of the desire with the
- 11:07Speaker 4: local television revenue is not only the revenue, split but
- 11:11Speaker 4: then to sell it off to either AN espn like
- 11:13Speaker 4: they have for this, year where you're buying the ENTIRE
- 11:16Speaker 4: mlb package or your team's package through another, subscriber through An,
- 11:20Speaker 4: amazon through An APPLE, tv and that's how they get
- 11:24Speaker 4: one of their versions of THE nba national rights, deal
- 11:27Speaker 4: because you're just not going to find that as much
- 11:29Speaker 4: AS i love The Milwaukee, brewers don't NECESSARILY i don't
- 11:34Speaker 4: have a huge desire and an appetite to Watch Twins
- 11:36Speaker 4: Blue jays on A tuesday, Night and so how do
- 11:39Speaker 4: you not necessarily that a lot of people feel like
- 11:41Speaker 4: they have the desire to want to watch The hawks
- 11:43Speaker 4: and The. MAVs but The stars are at least a
- 11:45Speaker 4: little bit more marketable in THE nba where they've been
- 11:47Speaker 4: able to sell that to networks for.
- 11:49Speaker 1: That, yeah it is a little bit.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Different it is interesting, though to look at that floor
- 11:54Speaker 2: number you, Said, BILLIE i, agree it's higher than you,
- 11:56Speaker 2: thought and, say maybe this is a concession that would
- 11:59Speaker 2: work because in the in THE, nfl we had a
- 12:02Speaker 2: similar issue like, this where it seemed to be there
- 12:05Speaker 2: was the, uh there was no middle class. Anymore it
- 12:07Speaker 2: seemed to be this was an issue like where The
- 12:09Speaker 2: stars were getting all the, money but the guys in
- 12:11Speaker 2: the roster that were making the, minimums which were you,
- 12:15Speaker 2: know closer to the, mino which were like sixty to seventy,
- 12:17Speaker 2: percent we're fighting for a small. Raise so there were
- 12:20Speaker 2: to your, Point, drue how there was less unification on
- 12:22Speaker 2: maybe in the. Union we saw that in THE Nfl
- 12:24Speaker 2: Players union, two where there was like two economies of.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Players there was no middle, class and it was like.
- 12:29Speaker 2: The guys in the bottom would would like that small,
- 12:31Speaker 2: raise need that small, raise and they're not necessarily going
- 12:33Speaker 2: to vote for the highest highest ceiling ceiling ceiling because
- 12:36Speaker 2: it's not gonna affect. Them so maybe in this, case
- 12:39Speaker 2: enough players would be happy with getting that that floor
- 12:42Speaker 2: raise because there's a lot of teams under even one
- 12:44Speaker 2: hundred million, dollars but there's a lot of those teams
- 12:46Speaker 2: way way down there that could significantly change a lot
- 12:49Speaker 2: of their you, know lives in terms of those. Rosters
- 12:51Speaker 2: might make a team for two or three, years might
- 12:54Speaker 2: only make a team for half a, year might really
- 12:56Speaker 2: benefit in their life from that small raise that they'd
- 12:59Speaker 2: be enough to, Say, okay you know, what this floor
- 13:00Speaker 2: is enough for. Us we're gonna be fine fighting for
- 13:03Speaker 2: that or voting for that or be okay with, that
- 13:05Speaker 2: and therefore the hard cap is the. CONCESSION i thought
- 13:07Speaker 2: it was an interesting comment here on YouTube By alex
- 13:09Speaker 2: looks Like kowalski or Bay. Kowski excuse, me they're asked
- 13:12Speaker 2: me to defermin, band make the owner's shoulder stuff up.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Front small things like THAT i think will make a
- 13:17Speaker 2: big difference in these, negotiations you, know deferring salary.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Obviously But drew was.
- 13:22Speaker 4: Right the number one part of this that wasn't addressed
- 13:26Speaker 4: at LEAST i didn't see at all, reported and it
- 13:28Speaker 4: didn't seem like it was included in this. One if
- 13:31Speaker 4: you're going to get the hardcap and hard, floor WHICH
- 13:34Speaker 4: i do believe is going to be the best thing
- 13:36Speaker 4: for the sport in the long, run especially in the
- 13:39Speaker 4: ecosystem that we have right now where pretty much every
- 13:43Speaker 4: sport is going to, this Even european soccer that has
- 13:46Speaker 4: long been the one that you could point to of saying, like, well.
- 13:49Speaker 1: This is a structure that.
- 13:50Speaker 4: Works otherwise in other, spots they have an incredible amount
- 13:53Speaker 4: of revenue sharing that that has brought up the, younger
- 13:56Speaker 4: the lower level. TEAMS i wonder if you're seeing guys
- 14:01Speaker 4: get the free agency in four, years if you could
- 14:03Speaker 4: have a real conversation right like the rookie cap and
- 14:06Speaker 4: how much of these guys are making in the slot
- 14:08Speaker 4: values of minor league players and draft, picks all that
- 14:11Speaker 4: would have to be worked out far more than just
- 14:14Speaker 4: the two numbers that got a lot of.
- 14:16Speaker 1: EYEBALLS i would. Think, yesterday, dree, yeah no.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Doubt manford was on with McAfee and said that there's
- 14:21Speaker 3: a four hundred and forty six million dollar gap between
- 14:23Speaker 3: The dodgers and The. Marlins technically that's, true but then
- 14:27Speaker 3: you dive deeper into, it and that includes the luxury
- 14:30Speaker 3: tax that they're, paying the, payroll you, know all of that.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Stuff the tax bill for The dodgers alone was more
- 14:37Speaker 3: than was one hundred, million and The marlins payroll is
- 14:39Speaker 3: sixty Nine.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Yeah more than what like three or?
- 14:41Speaker 4: Fourteen, yeah it's you also see in the players union,
- 14:48Speaker 4: side which player's union is going to be, saying hey,
- 14:52Speaker 4: man we're pretty happy with our.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Side we enjoy our side of this.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Deal, instead why don't we just enhance this one by
- 14:59Speaker 4: lessening the lux retax and allow those teams to have
- 15:02Speaker 4: themselves even more money to, spend and the, young the
- 15:05Speaker 4: lower level, teams you just just have to start spending.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Money you have, money you got more of, it just
- 15:09Speaker 4: start spending.
- 15:09Speaker 3: More of the players were against the luxury tax because
- 15:12Speaker 3: why should teams be penalized for spending. Money to spend
- 15:14Speaker 3: money that they have to be Good like that's and
- 15:17Speaker 3: that's logical. Too, Yeah i'm my take, IS i don't
- 15:23Speaker 3: think we're gonna Miss we might miss a couple of.
- 15:26Speaker 3: GAMES i Think december first is the expiration of this.
- 15:31Speaker 3: DEAL i don't see them coming to an accord before.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Then deadline spur actions last time it was Into march
- 15:37Speaker 3: and they got in there just in time to get
- 15:38Speaker 3: a full season going and stuff.
- 15:39Speaker 4: And delayed spring training by what two weeks.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Or something like.
- 15:43Speaker 3: THAT i think we might see something like that, again
- 15:46Speaker 3: where that's kind of where we microwave. It but THE
- 15:49Speaker 3: tv deals are up after twenty, eight so that's where, again,
- 15:54Speaker 3: like if you don't play a, season you're hurting yourself.
- 15:56Speaker 3: There you're taking money off of that one and, like
- 15:58Speaker 3: and the owners are going to say that baseball franchises
- 16:02Speaker 3: aren't appreciating in value at the rate OF nfl AND
- 16:05Speaker 3: nba franchises and the game is, healthy so why is
- 16:08Speaker 3: that where it's the private, equity you, know where's that
- 16:11Speaker 3: part of the. Equation, sure they haven't entertained a lot
- 16:13Speaker 3: of that because it's like a lot of you, know single.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Ownerships OLD i was going to say old money and
- 16:18Speaker 3: old money family.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Money oh, yeah.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Exactly but it's going to come down, to and this
- 16:23Speaker 3: has to be negotiated to will The, Yankees, mets And
- 16:26Speaker 3: dodgers peel off chunks of THEIR tv deals that make
- 16:31Speaker 3: them so because the idea that they're going to centralize,
- 16:33Speaker 3: IT i don't know if that's going to, happen like
- 16:35Speaker 3: they're trying with teams like The brewers.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Dream yeah it's a beautiful, dream but yeah it's.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Not it doesn't seem to be in the cards for
- 16:42Speaker 3: teams to give up that money or if they can
- 16:45Speaker 3: centralize it and peel off things where the bigger market
- 16:47Speaker 3: teams get bigger.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Chunk of the.
- 16:48Speaker 3: PIE i don't know how they're going to do that
- 16:49Speaker 3: and satisfy the big market.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Owners but the thing, is and he needs a two thirds.
- 16:54Speaker 3: Majority So manford's looking at twenty three you, know a
- 16:57Speaker 3: twenty three team. Block he they only need like eight
- 17:00Speaker 3: teams to eight small market teams to, say, yeah you,
- 17:03Speaker 3: know we need this to put an end of, this
- 17:05Speaker 3: so the owners could be fractured as. Well it's just,
- 17:08Speaker 3: weird AND i don't know who cave's, first the, owners the,
- 17:10Speaker 3: players the rank and file, Players like there's the guys
- 17:14Speaker 3: who have The Garrett cole contracts and then there's The
- 17:16Speaker 3: Blake perkins. Contract for sure that you got to represent
- 17:19Speaker 3: both of those, guys, right, yes.
- 17:22Speaker 4: You and generally in these kind of, fights in these staring,
- 17:26Speaker 4: matches bes beat, ms, right the billionaires beat the millionaires
- 17:30Speaker 4: in a staring. Competition But i'm not necessarily positive because
- 17:34Speaker 4: there is there's something to the the salary or the
- 17:39Speaker 4: team valuations and the franchise valuations not increasing at the
- 17:43Speaker 4: same percentage rate as other. SPORTS i, mean we're gonna
- 17:46Speaker 4: see The Seattle, seahawks, now granted they did just win
- 17:48Speaker 4: the Freaking Super, bowl so WE i don't know that
- 17:50Speaker 4: we've ever seen a team win the title with the
- 17:53Speaker 4: youngest coaching football maybe the most successful one in, football
- 17:56Speaker 4: go up for, sale but they're going to be reached
- 17:59Speaker 4: probably ten billion. Dollars and The lakers just sold for
- 18:02Speaker 4: ten billion dollars as, Well so like THE nba is
- 18:06Speaker 4: way and nfls are way up, here And Major League
- 18:09Speaker 4: baseball is very very comfortable and, nice but not at
- 18:12Speaker 4: that same. RATE a lot of it could be tied
- 18:14Speaker 4: to this if certain owners, said all, right, COOL i
- 18:18Speaker 4: will vote for, it and Then i'm also gonna put
- 18:20Speaker 4: this thing right up for sale and see if somebody
- 18:22Speaker 4: else is gonna start paying this one hundred and seventy
- 18:24Speaker 4: one point two million dollar floor That i've never been interested.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Well because that IS i think what you mentioned there
- 18:29Speaker 2: is the last interesting part for me is to, think,
- 18:31Speaker 2: like all, right right, away you assume Man ford will
- 18:33Speaker 2: get support from the smaller market teams or the teams
- 18:36Speaker 2: that pay less for the salary, cap, Right like that's
- 18:38Speaker 2: what they.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Wanted they want the competit.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Balance but all of a, Sudden miami's, like oh, wait
- 18:42Speaker 2: you're gonna charge me one hundred more, million because basically they're,
- 18:44Speaker 2: like they're payrolls at seventy, million so all of a
- 18:46Speaker 2: sudden they have to increase their salary by one. Hundred
- 18:49Speaker 2: so in a, WAY i wonder if they'll get as
- 18:51Speaker 2: much he'll get as much support as he thinks he
- 18:53Speaker 2: might be with, that because it's, like, yeah the salary CAP's.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Great we wanted, that but we didn't want you to
- 18:58Speaker 2: give us a bill to have to all of a
- 19:00Speaker 2: sudden pay that much in a floor.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Either, so like any, negotiation.
- 19:04Speaker 2: It's usually, compromised which means nobody's, happy which is the
- 19:07Speaker 2: right way to do.
- 19:08Speaker 1: It so we'll see how that works and how bloody
- 19:10Speaker 1: the process.
- 19:10Speaker 4: Is dejerrick And whitewater if they. Switched when you could
- 19:13Speaker 4: hit free agency from six years to four, years that
- 19:16Speaker 4: will hurt The, Brewers.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Well it'll be six to. Five six to.
- 19:20Speaker 4: Five would probably get where would you be hitting arbitration after?
- 19:23Speaker 1: Two?
- 19:24Speaker 2: There like there's a lot there that would all be
- 19:27Speaker 2: there's all kinds of like you get.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Granular what about teams that already have guys signed to
- 19:32Speaker 3: multi year?
- 19:32Speaker 1: Deals like do they get grandfathered in and her?
- 19:35Speaker 2: Rights and wouldn't a seven hundred million dollar contract be
- 19:38Speaker 2: a little bit of a problem there.
- 19:39Speaker 3: WOULD i think, you especially since it was negotiated before the,
- 19:42Speaker 3: steal so you'd have to grandfather those. In there'd be
- 19:45Speaker 3: some incredible trades going on and. Lost how what's the
- 19:48Speaker 3: mechanism by which the cap goes? Up like that's always
- 19:51Speaker 3: a big thing in THE. Nba and THE nhl every.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Year its gonna go up every. Here but what's the
- 19:55Speaker 3: formula that we? Use like those are the things and the.
- 19:57Speaker 4: Floor, too and fifty to fifty revenue, okay cool of all,
- 20:01Speaker 4: revenue of every single revenue stream of that is the
- 20:05Speaker 4: one where they'll fight to make sure that we're getting
- 20:07Speaker 4: every piece of revenue as.
- 20:08Speaker 3: Well in the, details no question about. It and it's
- 20:11Speaker 3: the first, round and it's gonna be it's gonna be a. Slog,
- 20:14Speaker 3: yeah this one's not gonna be. Fun this one's not
- 20:16Speaker 3: gonna be. Fun they have to have these negotiations and trade,
- 20:19Speaker 3: proposals but deadline spur actions and until you, KNOW i
- 20:22Speaker 3: Think december, one we'll get a. Lockout there'll be no winter,
- 20:25Speaker 3: meetings no, trades no free, agency and then it'll be
- 20:28Speaker 3: microwaved and hopefully sometime In march they'll they'll come to an.
- 20:31Speaker 4: ACCORD i was gonna, say, my uh, my my over
- 20:34Speaker 4: under day was was Was Jackie robinson?
- 20:36Speaker 1: Day will we be?
- 20:38Speaker 4: In will we be playing regular season games or spring
- 20:41Speaker 4: training games By april? Fifteenth because that could be that
- 20:43Speaker 4: could be a line of the marcas.
- 20:45Speaker 1: That will be.

- 31:12Speaker 1: Boys guys are Having Eric church, on so that should
- 31:14Speaker 1: be fine combs.
- 31:15Speaker 4: On but it seems like the songwriter side and the
- 31:19Speaker 4: singing the frontman, side it's kind of blending together where
- 31:23Speaker 4: it's a lot more open and a little more.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Honest is that fair to?
- 31:26Speaker 5: Say tim mcgrad adressed that this morning WHEN i talked to.

- 32:04Speaker 3: line where there's thirty guys credited as part of the
- 32:06Speaker 3: writing process and it gets whacked down with the. Publishing
- 32:10Speaker 3: right she, does, well what is it always?
- 32:12Speaker 1: Interesting isn't that the? Joke what does it? Hit does a?
- 32:14Speaker 1: Wrint everybody wants a? Piece, ye you a? Piece but
- 32:17Speaker 1: now it's all about streaming and.
- 32:19Speaker 5: Uh and with with, SONGWRITERS i mean they'll do an
- 32:22Speaker 5: artists will do sixty seventy five songs and then they'll
- 32:25Speaker 5: have to narrow it down to put it on an
- 32:26Speaker 5: album of ten or twelve. Songs it's, competitive it's hard
- 32:29Speaker 5: to make it hard to get a city, yeah big.
- 32:31Speaker 5: Time they call it a ten year. Town that's how
- 32:33Speaker 5: long you're going to be, there year ago home or

- 32:42Speaker 1: Town.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Ouch, Hello, hello it's just fating On Oklahoma. City do
- 32:48Speaker 3: you have a rooting interest in? This like we're gonna
- 32:49Speaker 3: have a game Seven saturday? Night do It's Oklahoma?
- 32:52Speaker 1: City thank? YOU i mean, alright, No I'M i don't.
- 32:57Speaker 5: Care both small cities like, ours small markets Like. YEAH
- 33:03Speaker 5: i Guess wemby would be fun to see against The,
- 33:05Speaker 5: knicks BUT i really don't have a rooting.
- 33:06Speaker 3: INTEREST i just want to see good. Ball, yeah that's.
- 33:08Speaker 3: It that's the WAY i see most.
- 33:10Speaker 4: Things, YEAH i want it to be a little harder
- 33:13Speaker 4: Around wemby than just roll through your first.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Playoffs we need to get we need to get that
- 33:16Speaker 2: step ladder of. Success, right you gotta lose, one then
- 33:19Speaker 2: go to the next, one.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Then go to the next. One you have your heart ripped.
- 33:21Speaker 5: OUT i don't remember ghana first playoff was that when
- 33:24Speaker 5: he got thrown out against The.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Bulls was that his first? Place that would have been
- 33:27Speaker 1: his first, one?
- 33:27Speaker 4: Right and then the next year they lose The celtics in,
- 33:32Speaker 4: five or.
- 33:34Speaker 1: They had a big series against The raptors where they almost.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Won we were. Up it was just it's just it's.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Interesting well that was that was.
- 33:43Speaker 4: They lost the first round series The raptors even. BEFORE
- 33:46Speaker 4: i think that one might have been in seven.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Too it's interesting Because gianna's path wasn't always the star
- 33:50Speaker 2: Like wemby's is, now, Right, Yeah, Yeah wemby's the immediate.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Supernova it's like gianna'st that four or five years to
- 33:56Speaker 2: establish his place in THE nba his own game and
- 33:59Speaker 2: to emerge as like more than just an athletic.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Dunker that was a, curiosity you.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Know and once he honis established, that then it was
- 34:07Speaker 2: a totally different game plan when he was An ALL
- 34:09Speaker 2: NBA mvp all those. Things But wemby on the other
- 34:13Speaker 2: on the, contrary he's been a super nova from the start.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Here so if he wins this, title, Now billy to your,
- 34:18Speaker 2: grint you just wait to. Here they're gonna say we
- 34:21Speaker 2: talked earlier about about over being over zealous in terms
- 34:24Speaker 2: of being you, know legacy and things like.
- 34:27Speaker 1: That they're gonna go crazy with. This, yeah, yeah it
- 34:30Speaker 1: is what it.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Is that's the, Thing Dolphice like we were talking about
- 34:32Speaker 3: that earlier about how everything has to be LIKE. Sga
- 34:35Speaker 3: he's not just Facing wemby in The, Spurs he's playing
- 34:37Speaker 3: Against jordan And kobe and, like like is.
- 34:40Speaker 1: He one of the all time? Greats like what does
- 34:42Speaker 1: he have to?
- 34:42Speaker 3: Do he's four, years four years in a row of thirty,
- 34:45Speaker 3: points back to back MVPs and a title in the.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Bank can't we just enjoy the? Moment do we have to? Say,
- 34:50Speaker 1: well if he doesn't win, this he's No jordan like coming.
- 34:53Speaker 5: Man they probably said the same thing About jordan back
- 34:55Speaker 5: in the, Day, Right, WELL i don't know if he's
- 34:56Speaker 5: going to be a MAGIC i, mean he's got to
- 34:59Speaker 5: win blah.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Blah, well you, know yeahs.
- 35:02Speaker 3: One, well And jordan took him while to breakthrough against The,
- 35:04Speaker 3: pistons which was you, know which was, referenced but not
- 35:07Speaker 3: they didn't linger on it in the last.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Dance it was cruised by. That, yeah they did show.
- 35:11Speaker 2: It but there was his idea though that a guy
- 35:13Speaker 2: that was taking so much to the scoring load couldn't
- 35:15Speaker 2: win a. Title it had to be more of a
- 35:17Speaker 2: team because that was The Celtics lakers. Era and then
- 35:19Speaker 2: Sure jordan would score so. More he had sixty three
- 35:21Speaker 2: against The celtics and so then it was like eventually he.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Won eventually they had the team the, triangle all that.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Stuff but it's it's interesting how those narratives do. WORK i,
- 35:30Speaker 2: mean were caught in the moment so often we failed
- 35:33Speaker 2: to remember the other times that people question the players
- 35:36Speaker 2: that we now think are made.
- 35:37Speaker 5: Men, well and there's people like, You, arman that put
- 35:39Speaker 5: down Like Oklahoma.
- 35:40Speaker 1: City, yes just you, know feeds the.

- 35:52Speaker 3: Care and UNLESS i go To patto and see, this you,
- 35:55Speaker 3: know put some shekels, DOWN i have no rooting.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Interest but now because Of, Arman i'm all about The.

- 36:04Speaker 4: repeat what's culture?
