0:27

0:31
Speaker 1: are in jeopardy because of his five hundred million dollar
0:34
Speaker 1: demand with the Yankees said to be lurking in the shadows,
0:40
Speaker 1: how do you read the room? And also what is
0:43
Speaker 1: the scope of unease around Jose Alboub. He suffered the
0:49
Speaker 1: shame of a five strikeout game in one game on Thursday.
0:55
Speaker 1: We'll react to that right now here. It is our
0:59
Speaker 1: number three. It is action. Jackson. Well, come in the
1:07
Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. As
1:11
Speaker 1: we are in the air everywhere, as we inch forward
1:18
Speaker 1: inch by inch by inch by it we just keep
1:22
Speaker 1: slowly inching forward, and eventually, if my calculus is accurate,
1:28
Speaker 1: we are going to get to where we need to go.
1:32
Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's amazing. I know, I know.
1:35
Speaker 1: Try to stay calm as we are in the air
1:39
Speaker 1: everywhere the monarchy of the Malord Militia coast to coast,
1:44
Speaker 1: port of the border and beyond on the vast and
1:49
Speaker 1: rollickingly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from the wand
1:57
Speaker 1: as we wave the magic wand we're broadcasting live from
2:01
Speaker 1: the ti rack dot com studios. Tyre rac dot com
2:04
Speaker 1: will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
2:09
Speaker 1: pre road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
2:14
Speaker 1: Spacoli sent a big box with like ten thousand different
2:18
Speaker 1: things in it. We thank you for that, tire rack
2:21
Speaker 1: dot com the way tire buying sure be so I lead.
2:28
Speaker 1: This hour is from baseball and it's a pretty good story.
2:33
Speaker 1: It's an unusual baseball store. We are going to jump
2:38
Speaker 1: on at the depot the train, but not just any train,
2:43
Speaker 1: the money train. We're on the money train. So we
2:47
Speaker 1: talked about this in a previous episode of this talk show,
2:52
Speaker 1: Massive Paydays. Everyone's getting paid, right, Everyone's getting paid, getting
2:57
Speaker 1: a lot of money. The young studs of baseball are
3:02
Speaker 1: in the money money many and even the sugar nuts
3:07
Speaker 1: are getting paid so no one of the players get
3:10
Speaker 1: in the bag. We mentioned his name the other day,
3:14
Speaker 1: Padre's star outfielder, Jackson Merril, and he signed a not one,
3:19
Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
3:22
Speaker 1: not seven, not eight. How about a nine year contract.
3:26
Speaker 1: That's a lot of dough. That's a lot of Mickey
3:28
Speaker 1: Mouse dollars. For one hundred and thirty five million, nine years,
3:32
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty five million. Just happened the other day.
3:36
Speaker 1: So we mentioned that, but we didn't talk about this
3:38
Speaker 1: part of the story. So Merril has been the talk
3:40
Speaker 1: of baseball for his mouth and some are okay with this.
3:46
Speaker 1: Other people, I can't believe he said that. You shouldn't
3:48
Speaker 1: say that. Why do you say that, You shouldn't say
3:49
Speaker 1: that if you didn't hear what he had to say,
3:51
Speaker 1: maybe not. A lot of social media pundits are convinced
3:55
Speaker 1: that the audio we're about to play here is Jackson
3:59
Speaker 1: Merrill taking a low blow, a cheap shot below the
4:03
Speaker 1: belt at one Soto, who's a former Padre, and his
4:09
Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract with the
4:13
Speaker 1: New York Metropolitans. And so we'll play the audio and
4:18
Speaker 1: then we'll decide let's go to the audio tape. Take
4:21
Speaker 1: a listen.
4:21
Speaker 2: I think just even hearing like an opportunity to sign
4:24
Speaker 2: with the San Diego Padres is enough for me, you know.
4:27
Speaker 2: But I also feel like there comes the line where
4:29
Speaker 2: you know you're worth you know your value. I listen,
4:31
Speaker 2: I know like there's contracts out there that are beyond absurd.
4:34
Speaker 2: There are super amounts of money, But having a relationship
4:36
Speaker 2: with a real human being and a real team like
4:38
Speaker 2: I have here, you can't beat that.
4:40
Speaker 1: You know.
4:40
Speaker 2: You can't just sign for seven hundred million dollars and
4:43
Speaker 2: want everything to be perfect. You know, I got people
4:45
Speaker 2: all around the clubhouse that are supporting me, supporting my family.
4:48
Speaker 2: You know, they asked for my personal life every day.
4:50
Speaker 2: So I'm just gracious for that. And I know that's
4:52
Speaker 2: gonna be the same way for the next the next
4:53
Speaker 2: nine years.
4:54
Speaker 1: Okay, So that is obviously very meaty. There's a lot
4:58
Speaker 1: of meat on the bone. It's red meat in the lines.
5:00
Speaker 1: Den and he talked about contracts and people signing deals,
5:06
Speaker 1: the contracts that are beyond absurd. He really likes the
5:09
Speaker 1: fact that Padres asked about his personal life. So let
5:13
Speaker 1: us discuss the question was Jackson Merrill shading Juan Soto
5:20
Speaker 1: of the Metropolitans after Jackson signed his Padre extension. You
5:25
Speaker 1: make the call. I love it, you make the call.
5:29
Speaker 1: So my views on this. I've got pink Elephant, main Street,
5:32
Speaker 1: Auto square and AirPods, and we will combine all of
5:37
Speaker 1: these things together and we're gonna make some carne asada
5:40
Speaker 1: fries and fish tacos, which you can get pretty much
5:44
Speaker 1: anywhere in San Diego, at least back in the day
5:47
Speaker 1: when I worked in San Diego. Al right, So first
5:49
Speaker 1: of all, to answer the question, you know you make
5:53
Speaker 1: the call, was Jackson Merrill thrown shade at Juan Soto
5:56
Speaker 1: is a school bus yellow? After a second, long seconds
6:02
Speaker 1: long deliberation, we did not need to use the malar
6:06
Speaker 1: branded Rosetta stone. We did not. It is clear and
6:10
Speaker 1: obvious that Jackson Merrill was sending a message, a message
6:16
Speaker 1: to the base, to the voters of San Diego. Unlike
6:21
Speaker 1: the soldier of fortune, the renegade Juan Soto who played
6:26
Speaker 1: for the Padres, this guy, Jackson Merrill, wants you to
6:30
Speaker 1: know he loves loves a San Diego and he's not
6:36
Speaker 1: chasing every dollar. The court takeaway, though, Jackson Merrill was
6:42
Speaker 1: as graceful as a pink elephant on ice skates right now.
6:48
Speaker 1: We loved it. And the reason we loved it it
6:50
Speaker 1: is unbaseball like. Over the last couple of years that
6:53
Speaker 1: Weasley Commissioner Rob Manfraud has complained that talk shows like
7:01
Speaker 1: this one and TV talk shows that are like this
7:05
Speaker 1: one except they have cameras, although we are on YouTube
7:07
Speaker 1: right now, but baseball's establishment has complained about their lack
7:13
Speaker 1: of relevance in talk radio. And the reason there is
7:17
Speaker 1: a lack of relevance, I'll tell you why, is because
7:20
Speaker 1: there is a lack of these type of stories. This
7:23
Speaker 1: is an NBA story, this is an NFL story. This
7:27
Speaker 1: is out of the norms of baseball. It's un baseball
7:33
Speaker 1: like normally very buttoned up and barring and milk poast
7:39
Speaker 1: and all that. And Jackson Merrill, who's not a household name,
7:44
Speaker 1: he's not a household name, but he proved he's not
7:47
Speaker 1: a buttoned up robot like so many of the other
7:50
Speaker 1: baseball players. And he went out there and hit a
7:54
Speaker 1: two bagger. Not only did he bag Juan Soto, but
7:58
Speaker 1: he also got the bad and very few times can
8:03
Speaker 1: you sign a contract for one hundred and thirty five
8:06
Speaker 1: million dollars and then make it seem like you're on
8:12
Speaker 1: food stamps, right, You're like you're giving back, You're like
8:15
Speaker 1: Robin Hood. It's wild, but he was able to do it.
8:19
Speaker 1: Like people, Oh, you're such a such a wonderful guy.
8:21
Speaker 1: But then when you when you look at one hundred
8:23
Speaker 1: and thirty five million on one side of the ledger
8:25
Speaker 1: and then you look at seven hundred and sixty five
8:28
Speaker 1: million on the other, it's like, well, okay, that makes
8:30
Speaker 1: some sense, all right. Now. Secondly, oh, now, we will
8:36
Speaker 1: be having a Mallard meet and greet, not in Toronto,
8:39
Speaker 1: but in Vancouver coming up at the end of May.
8:43
Speaker 1: So at the end of next month, the entire show
8:47
Speaker 1: we'll be going to hang out in the beautiful city
8:50
Speaker 1: of Vancouver, British Columbia. We're looking forward to that. But
8:53
Speaker 1: this is a story about the team over in Toronto,
8:55
Speaker 1: the only Canadian professional baseball team, Vladimir Guerrero Junior, yet
9:00
Speaker 1: again providing content as we take a stab in the
9:04
Speaker 1: dark here. So, Vladimir Guerrero Junior's extension talks with the
9:08
Speaker 1: Blue Jays are said to be in jeopardy that's the
9:11
Speaker 1: latest report. Because of his five hundred million dollar demand.
9:17
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays are like, well, we like you and
9:20
Speaker 1: we want to keep you, but we just you know,
9:25
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. So the Yankees are said
9:28
Speaker 1: to be lurking in the shadows, and there's some chatter
9:31
Speaker 1: that the Yankees, through back channels and intermediaries are trying
9:34
Speaker 1: to let Vladimir Guerrero know that they would really love
9:38
Speaker 1: to add him and that they've got a lot of money,
9:41
Speaker 1: and that five hundred million dollars they taken number two,
9:45
Speaker 1: and then the five hundred million comes out, so it's
9:47
Speaker 1: no big deal. So the Yankees are said to be lurking,
9:50
Speaker 1: But the Blue Jays are still negotiating and trying to
9:54
Speaker 1: do the boogie boogie, and they haven't gotten the boogie
9:56
Speaker 1: boogie done. So how do you read the room? How
10:00
Speaker 1: do you read the room with vlad Guerrero and everyone's
10:05
Speaker 1: trying to stay on message and all this. So I
10:07
Speaker 1: read the room this way. If you look the right
10:10
Speaker 1: side of the room, you'll see the door is still
10:14
Speaker 1: open a little bit, just a little bit of the doors.
10:17
Speaker 1: I love it. So Vladdie was supposed to lock the
10:21
Speaker 1: door and throw away the key on opening day, but
10:25
Speaker 1: instead the talks continue a marathon negotiation, waiting through all
10:31
Speaker 1: the details, right, trying to get something to slip through
10:34
Speaker 1: the cracks and all that. And so they're going back
10:36
Speaker 1: and forth. And right now they're at the part of
10:41
Speaker 1: the negotiation, the Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Junior, they're
10:47
Speaker 1: at the Main Street Auto Square, Main Street Auto Square,
10:51
Speaker 1: and they're taking part in endless haggling. They're negotiating the
10:56
Speaker 1: price of the vehicle. But they also would say, well,
10:59
Speaker 1: what about this is there right in maybe you can
11:01
Speaker 1: send us some bats or some old jockstraps. And then
11:04
Speaker 1: they what kind of warranty do we get on this,
11:07
Speaker 1: what kind of financing? And so it does appear that
11:11
Speaker 1: since Vladimir Guerrero Junior has deemed it necessary to keep
11:17
Speaker 1: talking to the Blue Jays, that he is not hardwired
11:20
Speaker 1: like Juan Soda, that he's looking to crack the uncrackable
11:24
Speaker 1: code flattie and make it work in Toronto, right and
11:29
Speaker 1: all that jazz. Now, the deadline, I know you're very
11:32
Speaker 1: concerned about the deadline. The deadline for all of this.
11:36
Speaker 1: We have one hundred and eighteen shopping Days to Go
11:39
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen shopping days to Go. July thirty
11:43
Speaker 1: first is the Major League Baseball trade deadline. And that's it,
11:48
Speaker 1: that's all, and you're done skis after that. Now final fault.
11:54
Speaker 1: So we sidestep to a dramatic, dramatic stat line. The
12:00
Speaker 1: cheating a trow beat the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. I
12:07
Speaker 1: know it's always kind of bummed me out when the
12:10
Speaker 1: cheaters win, but that was not the juicy lucy part
12:14
Speaker 1: of the story. It is the mighty Mouse scoundrel of
12:20
Speaker 1: our time. What a scoundrel this guy's who struck out?
12:23
Speaker 1: The Mighty mouse has struck out? And what do I
12:27
Speaker 1: mean by that? Well, let me explain Jose al Bovey.
12:34
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what is the scope of unease? The scope
12:40
Speaker 1: of unease around Jose Altuve after he suffered the shame
12:47
Speaker 1: shame of not one, not two, not three, not four,
12:50
Speaker 1: but five five strikeouts in one game. So I was
12:57
Speaker 1: half asleep. There is a day game when this thing started.
13:01
Speaker 1: But I start getting messages, text messages. I don't I'm
13:06
Speaker 1: not on social media much during the day, so I'm
13:08
Speaker 1: getting text messages and it's like, hey, you see how
13:09
Speaker 1: two Bay's struck out three times, and then it's like,
13:12
Speaker 1: he struck out four times, he might get one more
13:14
Speaker 1: at bat, and I'm like, okay, And so then I
13:18
Speaker 1: flip over that I got the magic box, and I
13:21
Speaker 1: flip over that, and that fifth strikeout, I gotta tell
13:25
Speaker 1: you I needed paramedics. I almost overdosed on shod in freude. Yeah,
13:34
Speaker 1: just taking joy out of others misery. It was great
13:37
Speaker 1: to see. It's always nice to see when he struggles.
13:39
Speaker 1: And Altuve if you look at what he's done, and
13:43
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a shock jock and all that. However,
13:46
Speaker 1: Altube has his little mini air pods. Their kids size,
13:50
Speaker 1: they're not at all side. He's got a little many
13:52
Speaker 1: air pods and he's listening some dire straits because right
13:56
Speaker 1: now he is at a crossroads, and you could argue
13:59
Speaker 1: he is in a dire straits part of his career.
14:02
Speaker 1: They've moved him in the outfield. He's such a suck
14:04
Speaker 1: bag at second base. He can't play second anymore, so
14:07
Speaker 1: they moved in the outfield. He was making all kinds
14:10
Speaker 1: of mistakes out in left field for the cheaters, and
14:14
Speaker 1: you crank up the Sultan's a swing it's swing in
14:18
Speaker 1: a miss right five strikeout game. That is another grim warning. Oh,
14:25
Speaker 1: you just been a shocking talk show host, guy. No,
14:29
Speaker 1: I'm not. Open your bloody eyes. Open your bloody eyes.
14:34
Speaker 1: Altuve has looked discombobulated in the outfield, as we said,
14:39
Speaker 1: and now pitchers are pulling some skullduggery to strike him
14:44
Speaker 1: out five times in one game. Now, Albouve who will
14:50
Speaker 1: never make the Hall of Fame because he's dirty and
14:53
Speaker 1: they don't do that. Altuve, or as we call him, Albouve,
14:58
Speaker 1: He's in his sixteenth season being a dirty dog in baseball,
15:03
Speaker 1: and he is fanned more than one hundred times just
15:07
Speaker 1: once in a season. This year, he is on pace
15:12
Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty two strikeouts that would shatter
15:16
Speaker 1: his career high, would shatter the career. So make a
15:22
Speaker 1: posted note, make a little note with your chicken scratch.
15:27
Speaker 1: And it is not looking good. It's not looking good
15:32
Speaker 1: for the a holes. It's just not It is the

Speaker 1: Gian Carlos Stanton used the torpedo bat in the American
19:35
Speaker 1: League Championship Series of the playoffs last year and nobody
19:38
Speaker 1: even knew about it, and he won the MVP of
19:41
Speaker 1: the ALCS using a different bat, and all that media
19:44
Speaker 1: covering the World series nobody noticed. They said, because the
19:46
Speaker 1: bat was black, And I guess it didn't stand I
19:51
Speaker 1: didn't mean that, It just didn't stand out, is what
19:54

27:33
Speaker 1: and so far she's been right about Aaron Rodgers. He
27:37
Speaker 1: says he's waiting until Mercury's out of retrograde, and we're
27:40
Speaker 1: getting close. Three days to go, three days to go.
27:43
Speaker 1: Today's the fourth day, April, and my correct Andrea, April
27:47
Speaker 1: seventh is the Yes.
27:50
Speaker 5: Just wanted to double check. I believe you might have
27:53
Speaker 5: said April ninth, and I wanted to make sure.
27:55
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, no, no, okay, So I said April because
27:58
Speaker 6: he's supposed to appear on the the McAfee YouTube show.
28:02
Speaker 6: Oh I see, and there's a lot of internet chatter
28:07
Speaker 6: that Rogers is going to say something on April nights.
28:11
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, I've watched that show and I wouldn't put
28:14
Speaker 5: it past him because it's a pretty lively experience and
28:19
Speaker 5: it gets a lot of viewership, so that would you know. Basically,
28:24
Speaker 5: Mercury's out of retrograde April seventh, so anytime after that
28:30
Speaker 5: would be ideal. But like I said, it's not a
28:32
Speaker 5: one hundred percent strengths till two weeks after when it
28:35
Speaker 5: gets back to the degree at first retrograded at But
28:39
Speaker 5: everything else being equal, Fallen has some purposes been You're right,
28:43
Speaker 5: and April seventh, for all the Mala Militia, all your listeners,
28:48
Speaker 5: Mercury is out of retrograde. So yeah, take too long
28:54
Speaker 5: for him to sign on the dotted line. After that,
28:57
Speaker 5: all right.
28:58
Speaker 1: We'll find out and then you can take a victory lap.
29:01
Speaker 1: You can walk around like a peacock with your feathers
29:03
Speaker 1: up in the air everywhere everyone can can look at
29:05
Speaker 1: you here, and so only a few more days to
29:07
Speaker 1: go here, Only a few more days.
29:09
Speaker 5: Yes, and for all of us that would be really
29:12
Speaker 5: a welcome relief to have Mercury out of retrograde. And
29:15
Speaker 5: I'm sure we're all looking forward to it as well
29:19
Speaker 5: as Aaron Rodgers.
