  Speaker 1: Second, thank you, love you, great job. Won a ton
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: of bets last night. And I don't like the Patriots.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Chase imagination there. It is chasing just Sam Donald legend,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Sam Donald Jets legend.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Jet's Legend's good for him. The redemption story so good.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Crowds, I don't think you have your mic on. I don't.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to see it as sick.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: First time I've ever done that, first time I've ever
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: done it. The game last night, by the way, wasn't
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: very good unless you were a Seahawks man.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It was good for a party because there's just like
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a few big moments where and it was just like
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: nice background.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, it wasn't a thriller, which is fine.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to thriller. I didn't, and that's what
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: the Patriots.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It was the best game, like if you had your
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: bets rolling, there was no sweating.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It was so nice.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Dave Poor annoying those guys, all those Pats lovers, hats lovers,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Lucy Burge to come on here a lot.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well at least Belichick's in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: No, did you see her shirt? And Robert crafton did
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you see Belichick's Girlfriend's shirt?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I heard she did some slight at them.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Was it so? When at the she was at the
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: UNC Duke game, which, by the way, it was great
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: college basketball this weekend to the UNC Duke, The Illinois
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Michigan State game was unbelievable. The Kentucky Tennessee game was awesome.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I know we're a baseball show, but yes, Belichick's girlfriend
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: wore a Tears of Asia or whatever it was in Jupiter, Florida,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: where Robert Kraft got arrested for whoa. Yeah, like the
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: shirt she's taking shots. It was bad. I'm like, well,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that can't Is that real? Like, is that really real?
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: She wore that shirt? Wow, I forget what it's called,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: but it's.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Like I thought she was taking a shot at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. She's taking a shot.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Craft one or the other.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Jeez.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I know, I didn't know. I didn't do a lot
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of research on all of that, but she knows how
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to stay in the headlines.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Well now it's over, though, so now we can move
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: to baseball because football is officially that ball game is over.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: We have spring training photos videos I'm seeing on social
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: media already.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, there's Judge, there's Bragman, some guys popping up
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at camp.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The last thing I'll put to bed here is baseball
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: does not beat the NFL in overall numbers in many categories,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: but they do have some advantages. NFL does not make
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: their Hall of Fame voting public ever, so you never
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: know what.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Tony Dungee got asked about it, and he would not
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you would say who he voted for. And then Rodney
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Harrison called him out on it too, right to his face, which.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I like the Hall of Fame for baseball released anyone
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that wanted it to be.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Probably it's eighty two percent of people, which is great.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: They vote out, So if you have that power, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: should have to answer to people questioning your out And like,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: there's certain people that vote for one person and they
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: get ten right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And our All Star Game is awesome, and the NFL
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: is on life support with their Pro Bowl, flag football
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: e Tuesday Night whatever thing. Ratings were by far the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: lowest ever. Also on the parody front, Jason Stark writing
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: how Champs over the last ten seasons six in the NFL,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: seven and MLB teams in the finals the last ten seasons,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: thirteen in baseball, nine in the NFL. I love seeing
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: people reply to tweets like this and just like cherry picking.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can cherry pick anything, but Kratz.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: They'll be like, well, that doesn't include this, this and this,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and oh, it's not going to look like that over
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the next ten years.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, well who knows what anything's going to look like
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: over the next ten years. Like it's clearly there's no
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: parody in the NFL, So sorry the cat. The cat
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: ain't bringing it. What is also not cap is I
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: won my only FT bet and that was heads or tails.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Suck it, Todd father nice.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It was a it was a great night. It was
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a lucrative night. But there's a lot of money flying
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: around right now. Moves wise, we seem to be hitting
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: our like little deadline stretch of players in.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Because people are showing up the camp and players are
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: getting nervous. I mean it happens every year.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: We'll take it. Let's do it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, agreed, I mean that's kind of how it goes.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Let's start it, let's chuck it about.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Marcel A Zuna one year, twelve million dollars DH, Pirates.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Good? Good for him?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, what about for the Pirates? Though?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Good for them. It's a good move for the Pirates.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: It gives them a study DH. A guy who will
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: hit you twenty to thirty homers probably doesn't have to
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: worry about playing defense and can just go out there
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: and give us his bats. And it helps our offense.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, their offense has vastly improved from where they
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: were at the end of last season. So O'Hearn, Brandon
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: lw Now you bring in Azuna. I mean, I like
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the moves that they have made. They're trying to shore
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: up this team with the pitching that they have for
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the next few years.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I liked.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And there are a lot of are short term deals.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: They're just for a year or two and then we
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: move on.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And I know the year was down and there were
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: some injuries whatever, But I mean look at the prior
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to years for Azuna. An he's thirty five, Like you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: might not get back to that play. Discipline is still
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: off the charts. To Kratz, walk percentages among the best
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: in baseball.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Azuna from the Pirates. Yeah, I mean it's definitely. You know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: they were felt like he was more valuable than Andrew
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: McCutchen what he was going to bring him. And I
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: would say, as much as I would want Andrew McCutchen
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: to be a Pirate, I think right now, Marcelo Zuna
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: they see it as an upgrade. The issue is last
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: year they did run into a little bit of an
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: issue with Reynolds getting hurt and saying, Okay, you gotta
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: go play the outfield because Reynolds could still he could
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: still DH, but he wasn't able to be out there running.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: It was it was really about his throwing. It was
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: something of his lap. But it is really hamstringing you
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: when Marcelo's in there. Marcelo is DH. But like AJ said,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: it's a one year thing. This team is so much
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: better than it was at the end of last year.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Is it enough offense to push them over the line
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: of being a playoff contending team? You need big you
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: need big years. There's gonna be You're gonna need big years.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Is the is the drop in the fact that you
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: won't get a three quarters of a year of key
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Brian Hayes defense, You know there's gonna be a drop
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: in Brandon Lowe's defense. Is that gonna affect their pitching
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: or is this team built to score enough runs because
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: this pitching is that good? In my opinion, I think
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: it is. I think they're definitely still a little short
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of the Cubs. I mean, I think the Cubs are
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the class of the central right now for sure.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Aja.
• 7:07

  Speaker 1: That's FT one zero FM.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Can we go back to that graphic too, so we
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: can just run through the updated lineup with the Pirates.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: There it is, let me read it real quick.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: So Spencer Horriwitz at first, and we're showing ops plus
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: from last year next to it. Brandon Looe acquired for second,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds in right field, Ryan o'harnon left. I mean
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: that's not every day. I mean, left field in Pittsburgh
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: is no joke. So I think he's going to also
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: play quite a bit of first. Azon A's got d h.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not letting him play the outfield at
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: all if it's up to me O Neil Cruz in center,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and then Nick Gonzales Jared Trilla at third. That's really
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: nothing against Trillo, but more of a utility player. That's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: where they really blew it, you know, yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Still in the mix.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they still could get estock creators who I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: think would be a huge.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Additional files that. But I think they still need one more.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I mean Henry Davis and Jommy Barter are gonna, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: because Henry Davis catch his schemes almost every start.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: But they need a third basement.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: They need a third base. Yes, yes, it's Time'neil Cruz
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: is time. It's been enough. You can't use shortstop as
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Oh he's playing shortstop. Oh now he's switched positions. So
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I mean he's had the great Kevin Kiermeyer on there
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: working with him for a couple of days. So outfield
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: has figured out. So now it's time to swing. There's
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: no way. There's no way Connor Griffin doesn't make the
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: team out of camp. There's no way. Third base. He's
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: played third base. Can you play third base? He's playing shortstop. Sorry,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: he's gonna play shortstop. I think I think Jared Triolo
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: is a really good player. I get it. East Parades
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: is an upgrade. How big of an upgrade? I do
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: like Jared Triolo and there's gonna be he's a productive player.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: There's gonna be a spotlight on him for it. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Connor Griffin has to make the team. Let's say he
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: struggles in April, you can send him down then. But
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: if he makes the team and plays like you think
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: he's gonna play on a team that wants to win,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: it's got a chance to give you a pick at
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: the end of the year. Like the Pirates are willing
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to willing to roll the dice on that one. They're
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: they're pushing their chips in. Did they have a lot
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: of chips, I don't know, but they're pushing them in
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: and I have a hard time believing he is not
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: in that opening day lineup.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Go make that one big move.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Paratus is the guy because the Ashers are trying to
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: trade him. We'll talk about the red tax trade later,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: but that's off the table now. I mean, Gino Suarez
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: would have been a great fit for this team, but
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: they blew it on that one. So you got Ozuna.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: That's the one more piece to me that puts them
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: as a wildcard contender.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: They needed they need another, need one.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: More because they're also always thin, right that things.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Someone gets hurt, then you're really they're screwed.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: You can't rely on everybody being healthy the who whole year? Yea,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: but who do you want much better?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not smashing them crats, right, this is this is
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: a lot better. This is yeah, I mean the first
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: three years.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I laugh at them. I am not laughing anymore.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Who do you want first? Quickly? Who do you want first?
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Gino Suarez or.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Marcelo Zuna Ginosuire is no question for me? What about you, guys?
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I would take Geno two.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: That was the fit.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Now Marcelo Zuna plus e sac paratus, I'll take that
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: They gotta get it, they gotta pay. What's Esac making.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'll find he just twelve or something like that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Ten or something.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he just did some type of settle, So I'll
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: get that for you, and then we'll bring.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: In the eight.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But he's at nine and change about nine and a half.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, again, I'm gonna say this, and I know budgets
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: and this and that, but that's not a franchise killing
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: move for one year because it's a one year thing.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And if that gets vaulted into the playoffs.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Or vaulting okay, not even into the playoffs, like the
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: playoffs are tough in the National League, because just the
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: National League is really hard anyways, But if at least
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it gets your fans excited. There's people coming to the
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: ballpark excited. There's in Hey, we're in it until September.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe we don't make it. We win eighty five games
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: or eighty three games, and we missed the playoffs by
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: a few games. At least people are like, hey, the
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: pirates are trying, and it buys you some trust.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: It's a good call owner Bob Nutting, who controls the purse.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Of course, go get one more piece, Go get esac paratus.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: You will make that money back. I promise you.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: You will make that money back in fans filling up seats. Yes,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I think you will. They've had attendance issues. You could
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: have a team that is in it for the entire year,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: like AJ said, even if they don't make the playoffs,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: in the mix for the whole year.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: It hasn't happened in a while.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to stay with Michael again. This in
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: about a week. You guys gotta shake it up. That'll
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: be nice. I can't wait for him to sleep in
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: the same room as me. You guys aren't doing that anymore,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I know, thank god, because otherwise someone might not make
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: it back from Arizona.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I think everybody on empty might not make it back.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: But we'll talk more about spring training schedule at some point,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: maybe tomorrow. Let's keep rolling on this trade right now.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: With the Red Sox picking up Caleb Durban, I mean,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: when you see that headline this morning, that's a shocker.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Well just shocker because the Brewers, you know, I mean,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I guess Hamilton is going to replace what Caleb Durban
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: can do. But then you know the way the Jet
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Williams it's like, But then I guess they want Harrison
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: really bad. I mean, Monastereo got some big hits for him,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: and they have one other big prospects bigger prospects.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Fisher, there was either first round pick last year
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and he's going to play in the WBC.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: You know they're waiting for those guys.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: But it's like, you're trying to have the best record
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: in baseball and make the playoffs again, and.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I think they are. And now have.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: They any money in free agency? I know, I know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I know woodrift in his qualifying offer, but have they
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: have they signed anybody in free agency? I don't think so.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I was trying to look it up. I was trying
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: to look it up before the show, and I don't
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: think they have unless they made I thought they made
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: a signing early early, and it was like, I know
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: it wasn't Colin Ray, but it was like that type
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: of like that type of like starter signing where it
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: was like, Okay, I see where they're at, but it's
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: not like replacing Freddy Peralta. I don't know. Scotty's better
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: at that stuff.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I don't believe. So.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, woodrift and arbitration avoidance with Jake Bauers,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: but not that they.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Traded away a lot Freddy Parolta, a lot of Durbin Monasterio.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: These are guys that were like on their team, on
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: their team. They're counting on Miserowski to be able to
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: start for him, right, They're counting on Brandon woodrif hasn't
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: been healthy gut I mean sadly in a long time
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: for full season. I mean they're counting on guys Quinn
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Priester and some of these guys to have really great
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: years that haven't done it multiple times in a row
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: in a row. I mean last year they brought in Kintana,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: who helped them a huge amount. Right, they brought in
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Reez Hoskins, who say what you want. They brought in
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Rander Vaughan who went off to help them. They did
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: britt make some moves last year to help them. They
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: they made the trade for Durbin, so they last year
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: they were doing things and this year it's like, okay, yes,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I understand Jet Williams and some of the other things
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: they've done, but they're not. At some point, you got
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: to play in the big boy pool. We always say this,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and right now the Brewers are not. And they've had success,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: so I can't knock them, but they haven't had that
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: much success because this is the first year they won
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: a playoff series in a long time.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Too.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Are they okay with just making the playoffs? Like that's
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: my that's my thing. Are they okay with doing that?
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Because if that's the case, then you know what, man,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: they got this cool formula to make the playoffs. As
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: a Brewer fan, like, yes, I am a fan of
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: the Brewer or the organization, the people in the front office,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: the way everything's run, like it's cool. Stories, But how
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: can you get rid of two guys who finished third
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: and fourth in the National League and Rookie of the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Year voting like, did they win it? No, they didn't
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: win it. You know, Isaac Collins and Caleb Durbin are
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: off this team. They were guys that personified what the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Brewers are. Are they getting rid of them because it's
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: max value? Okay, how many times can you keep hitting
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: on that? How many times can you can? You have
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: a team? Then they have their superstar. They have Jackson Churio.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Can he stay healthy? Like he's still learning how to
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: stay healthy and be a player in the game. Does
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Bryce Terrang take his August September and become an MVP
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: candidate because he's got an elite glove. I don't know
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: if he's got like that level. He's an All Star.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: So you have your pieces on the team. But the
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: last few years, everyone's like, oh, they've done this. The
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: last few years. They had Josh Hater, they had Devin Williams,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: they had Freddy Peralta, they had Corbyn Burns, they had
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: all those guys throughout that time. It's a lot to
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: put on the Miz. It's a lot to put on
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Big Wu to carry this team if you keep decimating it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Unless they really do find this value in Kyle Harrison
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: and in Drohan in you know, in Hamilton, being that
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: guy that steps in as the next piece. It's just
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: it's tough to see as a brewer, as a fan
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: of the brewers.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes we do a little game on foul.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Territory called role play.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: It's not what you think. We're just picking up our
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: phones and we're talking as if we're somebody in baseball.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: But if you'd like that phone to be a little
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: bit cheaper for making phone calls, who should you call?

  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, this team at the best record in baseball,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: they got dusted by the Dodgers, and you look at
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: their off season and you're like, do they believe this
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: is their winning window? Are they trying to play the
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: percentages game of how many cracks can we get at
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the postseason and eventually it'll work.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: They've been doing that for like a decade.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's again, I'm going to say this and listen,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: the National League is really hard. Yeah right now, the
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: way the National League is set up, it's really hard.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: But they were the best record in baseball.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, But then I'll ask this. I know they
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: didn't they like sweep the Dodgers in the regular season.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: The Dodgers just bounded them in the playoffs. Sure, right,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: They also lost the first four games the Torpedo bats
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: and the Yankees lost the first four games like one
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: hundred and six.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Murph made a joke about it in his speech, but
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: being great in the regular season, and krat says this,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: there's regularly you know, he thinks there's regular season teams
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: and there's playoff teams. Being great in the regular season
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: if you don't win the World Series. And how many
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: World Series have the Brewers ever won in their in
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: their history of the Fair Chicks, how many times have
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: they been to the World Series Once? Once nineteen eighty two,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Harvey's Wallbangers lost to the Cardinals, So they haven't gotten
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: to eighty two. Okay, that's we're forty four years from then.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: They don't believe in the all in thing.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: They do believe in all in, but they can only
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: do what they're giving. I think Matt Arnold does a
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: terrific job with what he's given to work with. He's like,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: h I just blanked on the guy in Seattle Poto.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah right. The Poto's given a budget and he tries
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: to make all these moves to try to make them better,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: but he has to keep a certain budget. Right. It's
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: kind of what the Rays did for so long. They're like, oh,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: we got to keep it around this payroll and they
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: would flip guys here and there. The Brewers are trying
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: to do that, and they've had success doing it, much
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: like the Rays. The Race haven't won a World Series either, right,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: But eventually that bubble burst and then you almost got
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: to start over with a new crew. Sorry, brew Crew,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean that was non intentional. That played well,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: but you have to start over with like a new crew, right.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Isn't that what the Rays are going through right now?
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: The Rays are kind of going through it right now
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: because also the American the yeast has gotten better, because
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Toronto now is really good. The Yankees are usually pretty good.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: The Red Sox went through a little lull. Now they're
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: bring coming it back, right. The Orioles finally got it
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: figured out a little bit, so now the Rays are like, man, shit,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: we got to do something different. So now they're trying
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: something different, right. The thing with the Brewers are they've
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: also caught. The Cardinals have been in a down right.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: The Pirates haven't been good for ten years. The Cubs
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: have been they won in twenty sixteen, but since then
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: they've kind of been meh. Right, So the division also
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: was kind of lined up for him, where Hey Burns,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: pralta Woodrow, all these guys, I mean, Yellows is a
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: year older. Yellows, you can't make it through a full
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: year anymore. And it sucks because he's really good when
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: he's out there, right, Controras is about at the end
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: of his Brewer tenure. So then you're like, Okay, well,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: who are you counting on? And they keep making these trades,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: but at some point you're gonna have to hit on.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have to you have to hit on every
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: single one of these.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: They're becoming the race they can turn.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: They're really good to stars and there's massive amounts of
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: churn and it's causing them to be competitive every year.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Like you said, how much of that has to do
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: with all of this success in the organization and some
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: of it to do with a very down division over.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: The last But they're really good at it. They've done
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: they've been successful, so you can't knock them, right, Yah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Donald has been really good at it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: It's just frustrating to not I don't think this is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: a front off.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: But the ballpark probably packed. Yeah, Like you didn't make
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: any extra money last year?
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: The ballpark was packed. Right. They beat the Cubs in
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: five games in the DS, right, I mean they obviously
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: they lost with Todgers, but I mean they I don't
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: know what else you want if you're a Brewer, if
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: you're a Brewers fan, Like they come back, they come
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to every game I do for Fox. There is packed,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I mean not an empty seat in the place. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: they're they're crazy, they go crazy, and they love their guys.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: They love their team.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: It's like the Bucks, Like they have the Bucks too,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: right in Milwaukee, right, so they have the Bucks really
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: in the Brewers. Okay, Green Bay is not in Milwaukee, people,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: it's not. It's like two hours away, right, whatever, But
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: they love those teams. I mean you walk around Milwaukee,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: you see Brewers stuff everywhere, and you see Bucks stuff everywhere.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: They support the heck out of that team.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Can I throw this out there because I think this
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: is the comp I feel as if the Diamondbacks approach
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: is a little more boom or bust, and then all
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: of a sudden they end up, say twenty twenty.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Three in the World Series.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Right, they make some moves that it's like this is
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: going to really work or this is going to be
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: a disaster. I feel like the Brewers are super safe,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: so their ceiling I think is lower and their floor
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: is higher. I'd rather be a Diamondbacks fan in terms
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: of the way that the team looks at themselves. Right,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: there's some guys that you know, are going to be
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: there for a while. It causes some continuity, you take
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: some big risks, and some years you go through mini
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: rebuild at the very least. And I think fans are
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: okay with that if they felt like they had that
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: all in push. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe you're just like
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I want my team to be good every year and
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: be borderline or playoffs every year?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Would you rather have a team that makes the playoffs
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: and never wins a World Series?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: No question?
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: We're about to talk to the Ohios. What city is
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: he in?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: He is in Pittsburgh, Okay, no question. I want the
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: team that's going for it. And then, okay, Mike Mike
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Tomlin just resigned. Ohios covered him.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin nineteenth straight years, never had a losing record,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: he won one super Bowl, okay, but the last I
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: don't know how many every years since he won that
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: super Bowl, they've been nine and eight, ten and six,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: but they lose in the first round every year. Would
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: you do you want that team? The Atlanta Braves all
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: those years they and all those division champions, they won
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: one World Series? The Brewers the last how many every
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: years have made the playoffs? Right? They were great guys
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: were in the playoffs, let's go team and then they lose.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: It's like, or would you rather have the Diamondbacks won
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: a World Series? I was twenty five years ago. Yeah,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: but they got to ask You got to ask a
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Brewers fan, not just a fan of baseball. Ok, you
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: got to ask a Brewers fan, because they're exactly like
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I know we're gonna get to Noah, but they're exactly
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: like what AJ said. Brewis fans are there. They support
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: they support the Bucks, they support the Brewers, they support
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: the loser players like me, just like they support the
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: superstars like Yellye and Cheerio. Like they really delve into
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: their team. So that question, I think has to be
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: asked by that fan base. Do the Guardians won a
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: World Series or just every other year in the playoffs
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: type of type of run? Do the Brewers won a
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: World Series? Or seven straight playoff runs where your heart
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: gets b or seven of eight?
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: The Diamondbacks is a very recent example. It's twenty twenty three.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: They were in the National League. National League was pretty loaded,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: and they figured out a way to get through.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: So they had nunbelievab They first of all, they got
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: hottest all hell fire and brimstone for that for those
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: two weeks. Sure, the Phillies, the Phillies, they're down three
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: to one. It never should have happened. And they just said,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: you know what, Phillies, We're just gonna throw you slider
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: on every pitch. And their Phillies like, we've never seen
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: one of those before. We forgot how balls, fastballs for
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: balls in and sliders. I mean that was three straight games,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: that's all they did. Fastballs in ball, Oh, they're gonna
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: throw me another one. Slider, slider, slider, oh, fastball. It
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: was like and they couldn't beat them, and then they
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: ran into the Rangers, who obviously took them down in
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: the twenty three. But are you happier with that? Every one?
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Once every ten years you make a deep run to
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: the World Series.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It's not like you don't make the playoffs at all.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Around that, I'm just saying, you have more variants. Have
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: a few years where you're contender, you have a few
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: years where you're not.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: So you'd rather just be Mike tom.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: No, no me.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I want the Diamondbacks. That's my whole point. I want
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the ride. Give me the ride. Winter Time speed Round,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: lots of signings happening with veterans finding homes. Let's start
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: with Paul Goldschmith from the Weekend one year, four million
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: dollars back to the Yankees, two million dollars in additional
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: plate appearance bonuses. His production fell off in the second
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: half of the year. He raked overall against left handed pitching.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: This past season. Ben Rice should continue to have more
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: of a role. He apparently turned down more money opportunities
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: elsewhere aj so that he could fit in nicely again
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: with the Yankees.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the Yanks running it back.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: It's the same team. I mean, essentially they lost Weaver
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: and Devin Williams. They made a couple of small tweaks,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: but it's literally the same exact team. And they can
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: say it's not, but I think it's twenty three to
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the twenty six guys are back from that roster that
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: finished the season last year with the Yankees.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: That's rare.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Now you're adding now you're gonna add Garrett Cole at
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: some point, which you will help, right And you added
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Ryan Weathers who will help you. But other than that,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: it literally is the same exact team. I mean, they
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: didn't win ninety four games last year and they tied
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: the Blue Jays and didn't win the division because they
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: had to head but they did make the playoffs and
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: did okay, So I don't know, it's just interesting to
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: you see a team bring back twenty three of the
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: twenty six guys.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: When they got bounced in the DS.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: They eat the Red Sox, though, did they get bounced
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: because they weren't good enough or did they get bounced
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: because in that series they weren't good enough. That's always
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: gonna be the Red the Yankees, m I mean, even
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: if you bring in different guys, they're still looking for
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: the same archetype. So they might have a different name
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: on their jersey. Well, they don't have any names on
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: their jerseys because of the Yankees, but they might have
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: a different name, but it's gonna be the same archetype.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I still like this lineup. I don't I don't hate
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: this lineup. I love that Paul Goldschmid's coming back. It
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: came from the Cardinals, which have just a major deficiency
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: in their analytic department when he was there, and he
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: came to the Yankees, which is one of the most proficient,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: one of the most like giving you the information and
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Paul Goldschmidt is a very analytical like really dives into
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: every little thing, so it shows he liked it. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: don't hate this signing. Is Paul gold Schmid a Hall
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: of Famer? Probably not for this session, but check the numbers.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Out another time, another time. We don't have time. But
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: for me, yeah, this should be a very strong, solid team.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: The blue Jays playoff team was better than the Yankees'
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: playoff mix.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I think that part's obvious, right.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: They won the same amount of games, so they were
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: evenly matched in the regular season, but the Blue Jays
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: looked like the better team. It was not like one
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: of those like you actually the comp I mean, the
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Blue Jays and Dodgers were matched up as close as
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you can be with different strengths. And that's why that
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: series was crazy. The DS series, and I know it's
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: a short series, wasn't crazy. The Blue Jays looked like
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: a better built playoff team. Yes, I don't think that's
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: a I think that's the only take. I don't think
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: anybody's looking at the Yankees like yep that they you know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: they did that series over and over again.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: The Yankees win it more than the Blue Jays do.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think it was like
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: a small sample size thing, you know. But I run
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: that series ten times. I think the Blue Jays win
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: seven or eight of them.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I think I think the Yankees, like I said, though,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: they're like, if they were gonna go out and make
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: a move, they would have made a move to replace
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: the guy that was, and it's gonna be a similar
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: type of move. They're not just gonna all of a
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: sudden shift. Well, the blue Jays beat us. They beat
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: us in the regular season, Yeah, we finished with the
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: same record, but they beat us in the playoffs. We
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: got to shift over to what the Blue Jays did. No,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: they're just gonna keep doing what they do because they
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: had the best offense in baseball, not you know, opinion wise,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: just statistically.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm not knocking them, and I'm especially not.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Not just saying it's the same thing.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: It's just an interesting storyline that they're running with these
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: exact team. And if it was up to be I
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: wouldn't do that, right, if you had the choice, you'd
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: like I would prefer switching something up.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I just don't know if they had the lane for that, right.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: We can switch it out, you'd upgrade a shortstop. I mean,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: everybody's real quick to jump on the Anthony Volpi trade.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Everybody you know, Oh no, get him out of there,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Get him out of there. I mean he's not evenna
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: start the season. So you kind of have like a
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: two piece shortstop. Yes, you guys can't play left field. Well,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: it took care of that. They brought bell in your back.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know that they thought Trent Grisham would accept
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: the qualifying offer, or if they knew he would accept it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see some aggression from him. He
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: had a career year. But anybody hitting around Aaron Judge
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: behind in front of you're just gonna get different pitches
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: than you are when you're in a different lineup. So, like,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I don't see where they would make the changes. I know,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: you can't just change to make a change. You got
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: to make a change somewhere. So who you to bounce out?
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you you gave the layup to start
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the shortstop upgrade. But there there's nothing really out there
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: in their minds. What wasn't really anyone out.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: There base Maybe they could have upgraded, but they like
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: McMahon's defense right catcher. Maybe they could have upgraded, but
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: who's out there nobody? Yeah, I mean base Yeah, But
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I mean it all depends on what you're looking for.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you are, but you are.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Counting on Aaron Judge to just continue to be the
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: best hitter we've seen in a long time, correct, Like
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: you are just counting This lineup is just again, if
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge goes down for any amount of time, it's
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: huge for this team.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: They're built around Judge, which is fine.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I get it, because Aaron Judge is one of the
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: top two hitters in baseball right now. So I I
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent get it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: So, but if he goes down, if he misses any
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: sort of time, and then you know, you can count
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: on Stanton missing times. Sucks as much as it sucks
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: to say that. You know, Vulpi is what Vulty is
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: at this point. I mean we're three three plus years
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: into this now, so he's what he is.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Most of the rosters just homer mashers. That's what you want,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: homer mashers. But is there enough? I don't want to
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: get into like the classic like oh they need more contact. No,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I mean the ideal is contact plus slug and that's
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: what the Blue Jays had in the post Sauero.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Is he going to start this year church stuff for him?
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean to me, that's what goes. Super utility
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: guy is his role.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: But he's going to be the guy at least to
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: start the season while Wolpee works his way back.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: The Yankees are going to be fascinating to me just
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: because they need Rodan to come back for you don't
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: have a good other good year? Probably what does what
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: does he'll give him? Because he yeah he was mass Schlitzler.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: What does he do for him? For with a full
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: year Will Warren? I mean, they have options Bednar closing
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: for him for a full season.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: They've got arms.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be fascinating just to see.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to a few more here. Hey, their
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: division got a little better. Nick Martinez has been a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: really solid pitcher in the bigs for a while now.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: And you got thirteen the ultimate Rays signing right here.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Yep, thirteen million bucks.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: And guess what if the Rays aren't good at the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: trade deadline, they're only paying sixty percent of this contract.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: He gone, he's the if he's healthy, he is one
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: of the easiest guys to deal away.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: He can do it all.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: So this is the perfect rate. He can start, he
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: can relieve, he can close if they need him to.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: They want him to start. I think that was the
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: agreement here to start the season. But that doesn't mean
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: he doesn't get flipped.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm saying, but he's done everything, so he
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: can do it all.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Great, good he is. It makes sense. That's an easy one.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: That's great. I love it. Thirteen million for him. Go
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: go back and look at what other teams have paid,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: like fifteen and eighteen million per year, and you go.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Nick Martinez is kind of nice, but other teams see
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: him as that Swiss army knife. And I think he
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: really wants to start. I think he wants to make
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: thirty two starts.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: And if the race end up being bad at the deadline,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: he'll move around and he'll go to a team that
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: can even if they put him in the rotation to
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: eat innings, then in the playoffs they could move him
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: to the swingman role. Like he's he's valuable. Remember he
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: what he took the qualifying offer last year. He made
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: about twenty one million bucks in twenty twenty five. Next up,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Eric Vetti and the White Sox married again.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: One year contract, reunited and it feels so good. Sure
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: League figured him out a little bit lately.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but last time they traded him for Miguel Vargas.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Right, he was the centerpiece, you know.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: They traded him in copec to all over the place
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: for Miguel Argus, who's turned into be you know, a
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: player for the White Sox. He's in the lineup every day.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: So and the two A ball kids, I guess said,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know what happened to them, but I'm sure
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Justin in the chat will tell us how much we
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: don't know the White Sox prospects. So fire away justin
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: love you, Justin, Yeah, we love you, but fire away
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: that we don't know every White Sox player in the organization.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I apologize because there's twenty one other teams.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: But Baseball America Hotchiet tomorrow.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: They I do. Listen, this is a good depth signing
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: for the White Sox, But I still want you still
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: want Martin, and you still want Smith, and you still
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: want some of the younger guys to Anthony Kaid to
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: get their innings and then use fetti where you can
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: for me, that's it.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I will say Kratz Fetti is one of those guys
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: where the league didn't love him, And yes they got
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Vargas in that deal, but remember he was rolling that
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: year with the Era.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: But there's other peripheral numbers that didn't love.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Him and stuff metrics and then you saw that play
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: out last year with a five and a half RA
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: He's probably somewhat in between that right back end starter.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Good for the White Sox. Hopefully he's a guy that
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: he feels comfortable in Chicago because he was there. They
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: gave him that shot after he came after he came
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: back overseas from overseas. But to me, this is a
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: great signing because of the fact that he can add
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: that veteran leadership to the guys that aj just mentioned,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: like if you want them to take the next step,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: you gotta You don't want them to struggle, You want
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: them to hear about struggles, so they stay away from
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: him from other guys, and I think Fetty's Fetty's a
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: great guy in the sense that he was a top prospect.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: You know, everything looked golden peachy. Then he then he
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: had to go. Then he had to go overseas to play.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Now he came back and he had a good, good run.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: But it's like, hey, just because you see certain success,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: it's okay to be like, No, I'm not I'm not complacent.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting complacent. And I think that's what veterans
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: in that locker room can do.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And one more, Chris Paddock to the Marlins rotation depth.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: But I thought the Marlins had all the rotational pieces
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: in the world because they.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Traded away Weathers and Edward Cabrera.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Remember somebody on somebody in the chatter on Twitter crushed us,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: crushed us. They have the best pitching depthitely And why
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: did they Chris about it?
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: That is so true. You need to.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Crush for saying like, hey, Weather's in Cabrero expendable. Yes, yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: we have so much pitching Marlins. Come on, guys, Sandy'll
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: be gone too before too much longer.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Agreed. If he pitches, well he gone.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But he signed with the Marlins because it's a
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: big league deal. He probably wasn't getting a big league
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: deal elsewhere. I don't know about that.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I think Paddock, no, he was getting a big league deal.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I think the big league deal might have been two
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: or three million, and the Marlins are giving.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Him four plus pitcher k incentives.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Chris Paddick has not pitched well in a while. Look
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: at the numbers.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: The Marlins always get about four million bucks to sign
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: a guy like this. Cal Quantrell was what last year
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of the year before they get that one allowance in February.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like you're begging your parents.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: For a loan and they're hoping he pitches well and
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: they trade.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Him correct so they'll pay half this.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and for Paddock, I mean, you're right, he hasn't
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: put it all together in a while. But low walks
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: guy still is like so is some stuff. He's always
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: had good stuff, right.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Gives up a lot of homers, gives up a lot
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: of homers.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Doesn't strike anybody out.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Corilla strikeout rate last year. Remember, traded to Detroit
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: at the deadline. But what I recall, didn't pitch well there.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: No, he was even on the playoff roster. He wasn't
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: even on them, he was.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I don't remember him being there. I mean he was. Yeah.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: He made seven starts and five relief appearances for Detroit.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: With Minnesota, he made twenty one starts, had a just
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: shy of five y plus was below league average, so
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: back end inning Zeter hopefully pitch as well.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: This is a guy where Marlin's.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I think they have the special sauce like the race
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: because they stole some people from the race front office
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: and they see if they can catch some fire with
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: a fun loving guy in a clubhouse.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, he was a lot of people in our sport.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: There's so many people connected to the game, and you know,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: we can't take to everyone all the time, but we
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: do want to make sure we get a minute here
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: for Tyron score. You know, gone way too freaking soon.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, stunning, devastating news over the weekend. It
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: sounded like there was a surgery complication that wasn't supposed
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: to be a complicated surgery, So just shocking, awful. You know,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: family was posting a little bit about it.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: People are like, what the hell happened?
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Thirty four years old, three time World Series champ, kind
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: of your pinch runner, extraordinary super super athlete, crats Did
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: you come across him?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was there when he got called up
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: in September and fourteen. I was there when he did
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: all those rookie Shenanigans to twenty twenty four. We you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: we were, we were. We hung out a ton for
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: the Royals reunion twenty fifteen, we did the caravan together
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: like we played in nineteen together in Triple A as
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: he was, you know, trying to come back or just
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: always coming back through super unique career, incredible, huge human being.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: To see him come up as a rookie at twenty
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: three years old and just be so green but be
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: able to do something in the game of baseball that
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: was at an elite level was something I still have
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: never seen. I still have never seen. But the fact
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: that like he's gone at thirty four years old, the
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: fact that he you know, just was an incredible person
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: an incredible like he just had this infectious personality. I
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: watched a lot of since I heard the news. I
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: watched a lot of different interviews from from him throughout
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: the years with the different teams that he's been on,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: and he's just he truly and not just because he
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: was he was a little guy and we called him
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: g baby, but he's truly so thankful and just like
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: a kid playing the game and he was just like,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: you ain't gonna throw me out there ain't no way.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: I think he was caught one time in the postseason,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: and that was on a replay. He stole third, he
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: was safe, and the whole like, oh, his cleat just
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: came off the base. I mean, just an incredible person.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: And I couldn't be sadder for Brittany and his three kids,
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: like seeing them. It just, yeah, really hard news for
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: me to get this weekend.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Sorry for your loss and for everyone. Yeah morning, the
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: loss of Tyron score awful.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Awful. We're thinking about.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: The family and rest in peace, and we'll go out
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: that way. We're back on Tuesday. Of course, Dodgers territory
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: is running right now. Clinton, Katie Wu on that one,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: So if you want to flip over there, go for it.
• 41:32
