Top 5 Yankees and Red Sox players who won’t be back in 2027 · Foul Territory

0:00
Speaker 1: Every year on this channel, we make a video about
0:02
Speaker 1: which Yankees we think will not be back the following season.
0:06
Speaker 1: Even in a year where they quote unquote run it back,
0:08
Speaker 1: there are still some players that the Yankees moved on
0:11
Speaker 1: from like Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. So I do
0:14
Speaker 1: expect the Yankees will make some changes this year. The
0:17
Speaker 1: frustrating thing is that it's difficult sometimes to separate out
0:20
Speaker 1: the players that you're frustrated with from the ones that
0:23
Speaker 1: the Yankees realistically have a chance to move on from.
0:26
Speaker 1: Contracts matter. Available replacements matter. Age matters. And as always,
0:32
Speaker 1: there are going to be some names on this list
0:34
Speaker 1: that tick people off. Sometimes a guy can do his job,
0:39
Speaker 1: but the roster just isn't a good fit for that
0:41
Speaker 1: player anymore. Sometimes there are prospects who you put a
0:45
Speaker 1: lot of hope into, a lot of faith behind, and
0:48
Speaker 1: they don't work out. As always, let me know in
0:50
Speaker 1: the comments which of these players you think will not
0:54
Speaker 1: be back with the Yankees in 2027, if there is
0:55
Speaker 1: a 2027. I was talking about the lockout. Anyway, here's
1:06
Speaker 1: my list of top five Yankees who will not be back.
1:09
Speaker 1: Stick around for the honorable mentions at the end. Let's
1:18
Speaker 1: begin with number five. And this is one of those
1:20
Speaker 1: guys that I wish I didn't have to put on
1:22
Speaker 1: this list because I like him. The clubhouse seems to
1:25
Speaker 1: like him. He's got a lot of great energy, but
1:28
Speaker 1: age and injuries catch up to everyone. fernando cruz fernando
1:33
Speaker 1: cruz is likely going to try and pitch through the
1:37
Speaker 1: partial tear of his ucl he had a pretty good
1:40
Speaker 1: year 67 strikeouts in 54 and two-thirds innings just a
1:44
Speaker 1: 207 batting average against but his last few outings he
1:48
Speaker 1: really struggled because he was trying to pitch through an
1:50
Speaker 1: injury and ultimately after he was diagnosed with this partial
1:54
Speaker 1: tear in his ucl he did not pitch again and
1:58
Speaker 1: He's going to be 37 years old next season, and
2:02
Speaker 1: the idea that he can come back and be effective
2:05
Speaker 1: seems like kind of a pipe dream, honestly. He will
2:08
Speaker 1: try and continue his career without the surgery, but once
2:12
Speaker 1: that UCL tears, a lot of times it's a ticking
2:16
Speaker 1: time bomb. Masahiro Tanaka was able to pitch through it
2:19
Speaker 1: for a long time, but he was in his 20s.
2:21
Speaker 1: Fernando Cruz is in his late 30s now. He'll probably
2:24
Speaker 1: catch on somewhere with a prove-it deal, but I can't
2:28
Speaker 1: see him returning to the Yankees. Number four is a
2:32
Speaker 1: guy that I genuinely am going to miss. This is
2:36
Speaker 1: a guy who has done everything the Yankees have asked
2:38
Speaker 1: of him. And a lot of Yankees fans are going
2:39
Speaker 1: to want to bring him back. But Paul Goldschmidt is
2:43
Speaker 1: going to be 40 years old next year. And there
2:45
Speaker 1: is a logjam at first base. You had Ben Rice.
2:48
Speaker 1: who broke out this year with 40 home runs plus
2:50
Speaker 1: a huge postseason. You got Luis Garcia Jr., who the
2:54
Speaker 1: Yankees picked up at the deadline. Now, Paul Goldschmidt is
2:57
Speaker 1: a good right-handed bat, but the Yankees are going to
2:59
Speaker 1: have to find a younger right-handed bat who can play
3:03
Speaker 1: every single day. Paul Goldschmidt will be 40 next year.
3:07
Speaker 1: He did have 18 home runs and 52 RBIs this
3:10
Speaker 1: season for the Yankees, and he had a 111 WRC +,
3:14
Speaker 1: which means that He was 11% above league average. Now,
3:18
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt is a great dude. He is a classy dude.
3:22
Speaker 1: He has a nice clubhouse presence. I would love to
3:25
Speaker 1: have him back as perhaps a coach, maybe somebody that
3:28
Speaker 1: can help Ben Rice grow. continue to improve at first base,
3:32
Speaker 1: although it seems like Luis Garcia Jr. is going to
3:35
Speaker 1: get most of the reps over there, so I'm not
3:37
Speaker 1: sure that that even makes a lot of sense. But
3:39
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt was a fun Yankee to have around, classy dude,
3:42
Speaker 1: and we're going to miss him, but Paul Goldschmidt will
3:44
Speaker 1: likely not be back.
3:45
Speaker 2: The most famous baseball player of all time, Jay Bruce.
3:48
Speaker 1: Number three is a guy who was part of the
3:51
Speaker 1: Juan Soto trade, and he's making his second straight appearance
3:54
Speaker 1: on this list. He was on this list last year.
3:57
Speaker 1: I did not expect the Yankees to bring him back.
3:59
Speaker 1: They offered him a qualifying offer, and he took it.
4:02
Speaker 1: And for $ 22 million, Trent Grisham did not necessarily have
4:06
Speaker 1: a great season. He backtracked from 34 home runs the
4:09
Speaker 1: previous year to 18 home runs last This season hit
4:12
Speaker 1: just to 11. Now you'll see the postseason stats. He
4:15
Speaker 1: hasn't done much. Granted, I am filming this after game
4:18
Speaker 1: two of the American League division series because I always
4:21
Speaker 1: release it when the Yankees are eliminated. I'm not counting
4:24
Speaker 1: on them making it out of this round. The metrics
4:27
Speaker 1: pretty solid for Trent Grisham. But if we are being honest,
4:31
Speaker 1: he can't run. anymore he's way too slow to be
4:34
Speaker 1: a center fielder he's too slow to come in on
4:36
Speaker 1: balls and he's had hamstring injuries two years in a
4:39
Speaker 1: row now I will say this about Trent Grisham the
4:41
Speaker 1: man is very clutch he's had a lot of big
4:44
Speaker 1: hits for the Yankees unfortunately time age catches up to
4:49
Speaker 1: everybody and he is not the defender that he was
4:52
Speaker 1: when he was acquired from San Diego however gotta give
4:56
Speaker 1: Trent Grisham credit for having a lot of big hits
4:58
Speaker 1: with the Yankees but Trent Grisham will not be back
5:03
Speaker 1: Number two is probably the one that I am most
5:06
Speaker 1: likely to be wrong about. But I also feel very
5:09
Speaker 1: strongly about this one, because if I were the Yankees GM,
5:12
Speaker 1: there is no way that Ryan McMahon would be my
5:16
Speaker 1: third baseman next year. Now, the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon
5:18
Speaker 1: because they wanted to improve their third base defense a
5:21
Speaker 1: little bit. and they thought, looking at his average exit
5:24
Speaker 1: velocity being above average, that he would hit better with
5:28
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Well, he hasn't hit that great with the Yankees.
5:31
Speaker 1: Just a. 213 average this year, 11 home runs, 41 RBIs.
5:35
Speaker 1: He was awful last year. an on-base percentage under 280,
5:40
Speaker 1: a strikeout rate of almost 30%, and a WRC plus
5:44
Speaker 1: that's 22% below league average. And you know what? Here's
5:48
Speaker 1: the dirty little secret. Ryan McMahon has not even really
5:51
Speaker 1: been that good defensively. And defensively, he made a huge
5:55
Speaker 1: error in Game 2 of the American League Division Series,
5:57
Speaker 1: which I'm filming this the night after it. First play
6:00
Speaker 1: of the game. He makes $ 16 million. You can probably
6:03
Speaker 1: eat some of that contract and move him elsewhere. Here's
6:07
Speaker 1: one thing to consider. With this collective bargaining agreement coming...
6:11
Speaker 1: There's probably going to be a salary floor, which means
6:14
Speaker 1: there are teams that are going to need to take
6:17
Speaker 1: on money, take on players who might be towards the
6:19
Speaker 1: end of their careers who have a little bit of
6:22
Speaker 1: a higher salary just so that they can meet that
6:25
Speaker 1: salary floor. Ryan McMahon would be a great candidate for that.
6:29
Speaker 1: The Yankees are trying to actually improve the roster. He
6:31
Speaker 1: would be gone, but we'll see what happens.
6:33
Speaker 2: If you don't like it, you're fired. You haven't hired
6:36
Speaker 2: me yet.
6:37
Speaker 1: Number one, and remember, we do have some honorable mentions
6:39
Speaker 1: coming up next, but number one, this will cause some
6:42
Speaker 1: division in the comments because I know this guy has
6:45
Speaker 1: a lot of fans, but Jazz Chisholm is going to
6:49
Speaker 1: be gone. Jazz Chisholm is a free agent. The Yankees
6:51
Speaker 1: are not going to bring him back. There was a
6:52
Speaker 1: report about two months ago that they weren't intending on
6:56
Speaker 1: bringing him back. He's going to be 29 years old.
6:59
Speaker 1: He took a step back offensively this year, hit just 231.
7:02
Speaker 1: He had forecasted 50 home runs for himself. He ended
7:05
Speaker 1: up with just 19. He stole a career-best 41 bases.
7:09
Speaker 1: And defensively, he had 14 outs above average, so he
7:13
Speaker 1: was actually pretty good. He's still very fast. However, Jazz
7:16
Speaker 1: Chisholm does not seem to be a great fit for
7:19
Speaker 1: the Yankees organization today. New York is trying to kind
7:23
Speaker 1: of mold him into a more polished Yankee, more of
7:27
Speaker 1: the prototypical, quiet, humble Yankee. But he's not that. He's
7:32
Speaker 1: a brash, kind of fun-loving, free spirit. He brought a
7:36
Speaker 1: lollipop to second base, we're crying out loud. If he
7:39
Speaker 1: were to go out to someplace like, I don't know,
7:41
Speaker 1: San Francisco, or just maybe like a moderately competitive team
7:47
Speaker 1: that doesn't have... Press that's going to put him under
7:49
Speaker 1: the microscope all the time. I could see him being
7:53
Speaker 1: pretty successful. I could see him doing some damage in
7:56
Speaker 1: someplace like Kansas City where there's a big spacious outfield.
7:59
Speaker 1: He could drop in more hits, maybe hit for a
8:01
Speaker 1: higher average, steal more bases. His home runs would probably
8:04
Speaker 1: come down. But Jazz Chisholm has all the athletic ability
8:07
Speaker 1: in the world. I just think that he might be
8:10
Speaker 1: a little bit too much of a free spirit player.
8:12
Speaker 1: for the yankees mold he'd probably be a better fit
8:16
Speaker 1: elsewhere also the yankees are going to try and cut
8:19
Speaker 1: payroll honestly and they're not going to be giving that
8:21
Speaker 1: kind of money to jazz chisholm OK, honorable mentions. And
8:26
Speaker 1: this one is difficult because I like this guy, Jason Dominguez.
8:29
Speaker 1: Good kid. A lot of physical tools, but he is
8:32
Speaker 1: now blocked in the outfield. If you plan to keep
8:35
Speaker 1: playing Aaron Judge in right field and Ben Rice becomes
8:38
Speaker 1: your D.H. centerfield, looks like it's going to be Spencer
8:41
Speaker 1: Jones in left field. is Cody Bellinger. So Jason Dominguez
8:45
Speaker 1: doesn't have a place to play right now. He is
8:48
Speaker 1: still young enough to have some trade value, and I
8:51
Speaker 1: think the Yankees will move him this winter. That's just
8:54
Speaker 1: what I suspect. I will mention Jason Dominguez. I will
8:57
Speaker 1: mention Austin Wells. Now I know he turned it up
8:59
Speaker 1: offensively in the postseason. But he hit just 186. That
9:04
Speaker 1: cannot be overlooked. He was good at challenges. But there
9:08
Speaker 1: are other free agents out there. There's guys like Ryan Jeffers.
9:11
Speaker 1: Could the Yankees try and make a trade? All of
9:13
Speaker 1: these are possibilities. I do think that they're going to
9:15
Speaker 1: have Austin Wells on the roster next year, especially given
9:19
Speaker 1: how well he swung the bat in the postseason. But
9:21
Speaker 1: I've had to yell at him about... bad postseason performances
9:25
Speaker 1: two years in a row on the postgame shows. But
9:29
Speaker 1: I think Austin Wells will probably be back on the team,
9:32
Speaker 1: but honorable mention anyway. Next, we have Tim Hill. Now,
9:36
Speaker 1: Tim Hill could be one of those guys they bring
9:38
Speaker 1: back on a very cheap contract and He's old. I
9:41
Speaker 1: think you need to keep a funky lefty on the roster,
9:44
Speaker 1: and it really depends on how many of those guys
9:47
Speaker 1: are available. Tim Hill was not super effective this year.
9:50
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. However, he does get ground balls. He
9:53
Speaker 1: does get double plays. So if you don't bring back
9:57
Speaker 1: Tim Hill, you at least need to replace the role.
10:01
Speaker 1: Also John Carlos Stanton Now this one also stings John
10:05
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton Big G you know Was one of the
10:09
Speaker 1: most exciting Trades that the Yankees have made in my
10:12
Speaker 1: Lifetime He hits the ball as hard as anybody. He
10:15
Speaker 1: was the 2024 ALCS MVP. The guy is an absolute stud.
10:20
Speaker 1: Problem is, he can't run. He injured himself multiple times
10:27
Speaker 1: rehabbing a calf injury. He hurt his calf in April
10:30
Speaker 1: and didn't make it back until the postseason. I just
10:34
Speaker 1: don't know how you can continue to devote resources and
10:37
Speaker 1: a roster spot to that one dimensional of a player
10:42
Speaker 1: a guy who might occasionally play for a couple of
10:44
Speaker 1: weeks and go on a hot streak but for the
10:46
Speaker 1: most part he's not going to be available i know
10:49
Speaker 1: he's under contract what the yankees might be able to
10:51
Speaker 1: do is give him some kind of a buyout where
10:55
Speaker 1: they pay him you know basically his salary for the
10:59
Speaker 1: season and he gets released And then you can fill
11:03
Speaker 1: that 40-man roster spot with someone who can actually help you.
11:06
Speaker 1: But I like Big G. Unfortunately, he is a candidate
11:11
Speaker 1: to not be back. Let me know in the comments
11:13
Speaker 1: which ones you agree with, which ones you disagree with.
11:15
Speaker 1: As always, like and subscribe. We're here after every game
11:18
Speaker 1: all season long. And I'll see you this winter for
11:20
Speaker 1: all sorts of hot stove coverage.
11:22
Speaker 2: Welcome to Boston Territory, ladies and gentlemen. Boy, that was
11:26
Speaker 2: quite the abrupt ending to the Red Sox season here
11:28
Speaker 2: in 2026, getting absolutely shellacked at Yankee Stadium. But as
11:33
Speaker 2: we all know, the show must go on. And as always,
11:36
Speaker 2: we do our five Red Sox that aren't going to
11:39
Speaker 2: be returning the following season. Let's not waste any more time.
11:42
Speaker 2: Let's get to it here, shall we? The first guy
11:44
Speaker 2: I got to talk about is Patrick Sandoval. Now, I
11:47
Speaker 2: think there were a couple of good things about Sandoval
11:49
Speaker 2: this year. He had a pretty good strikeout rate, 9.3
11:52
Speaker 2: strikeouts per nine. He did a good job at keeping
11:55
Speaker 2: the ball in the yard as well under a home
11:57
Speaker 2: run per nine. But the big issue with Sandoval was
11:59
Speaker 2: his the command. He had a pretty high walk rate,
12:01
Speaker 2: right around four walks per nine. He had trouble going
12:04
Speaker 2: deeper into games. So I think when you combine that
12:08
Speaker 2: with the fact that the Red Sox already have a
12:09
Speaker 2: lot of starting pitching at the major league level and
12:12
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues as well, and they just have
12:15
Speaker 2: a good amount of depth. I don't really see the
12:16
Speaker 2: need to bring back Sandoval at this point. I think
12:20
Speaker 2: he's going to end up finding a team out there
12:22
Speaker 2: that needs a fourth or fifth starter at the Or
12:26
Speaker 2: could you possibly even see him sign as a reliever somewhere?
12:29
Speaker 2: I feel like he'd be a really solid reliever, like
12:31
Speaker 2: a multi-inning kind of a guy, because the first time
12:34
Speaker 2: through the order, he's always been pretty solid for the
12:36
Speaker 2: most part. His big issue is just going deeper into games.
12:39
Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see what his market is going
12:43
Speaker 2: to be, you know, where he ends up signing, what
12:45
Speaker 2: kind of a role he's going to end up having.
12:47
Speaker 2: But in the end, I don't see him returning to
12:49
Speaker 2: the Red Sox. Moving on. Now, I remember when this
12:53
Speaker 2: signing first happened. I think we were all kind of
12:56
Speaker 2: freaking out when it happened because we needed a bat, right?
12:59
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman.
13:00
Speaker 2: I still remember this. Alex Bregman went to the Cubs,
13:03
Speaker 2: and then we signed IKF like a few days later.
13:06
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, what the heck? This is the bat?
13:09
Speaker 2: This is the big bat the Red Sox are bringing in?
13:11
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? luckily they ended up making the
13:14
Speaker 2: trade for Caleb Durbin not too long after that but
13:16
Speaker 2: the signing at the time was a little confusing even
13:19
Speaker 2: though you knew he was going to be able to
13:21
Speaker 2: give you good defense good veteran coming off the bench
13:24
Speaker 2: but you know you're thinking to yourself you already had
13:26
Speaker 2: guys like Romy Gonzalez in the mix you know obviously
13:29
Speaker 2: you know Trevor Story at shortstop ended up kind of
13:32
Speaker 2: working out, right? Because Story ended up going down. He
13:35
Speaker 2: was able to provide you some pretty decent insurance defensively,
13:39
Speaker 2: but then he ended up getting hurt and missing a
13:40
Speaker 2: whole bunch of time. So kind of the same thing
13:43
Speaker 2: with Sandoval. I just feel like you already got a
13:46
Speaker 2: lot of guys in the mix, especially now that, you know,
13:48
Speaker 2: you have Andrew Monasterio as well as Romy Gonzalez, obviously
13:53
Speaker 2: Trevor Story, who we'll talk about him in just a
13:55
Speaker 2: second here. But then, you know, obviously Franklin Arias, who's
13:59
Speaker 2: getting very close. to major league ready. So I feel
14:02
Speaker 2: like you're already pretty good for now with up the
14:06
Speaker 2: middle infield depth. So I don't really see the need
14:09
Speaker 2: to bring back IKF for next year. I think he'll
14:12
Speaker 2: end up signing elsewhere. You know, probably, you know, something
14:15
Speaker 2: kind of like that one year deal he just signed.
14:17
Speaker 2: He'll probably go to a contender and be a good
14:20
Speaker 2: veteran coming off the bench. Moving on to the Yoshida
14:27
Speaker 2: now here's the thing I love Masa I have always
14:30
Speaker 2: loved Masa ever since he came to the Red Sox
14:32
Speaker 2: but The big problem with Masa has been the health.
14:36
Speaker 2: He has just not been able to stay healthy. When
14:39
Speaker 2: he has been healthy and when he's gotten himself into
14:42
Speaker 2: a groove and he's built that consistency, he has shown
14:46
Speaker 2: to be a good hitter with the Red Sox. But again,
14:48
Speaker 2: he's just had trouble with the durability. So I kind
14:52
Speaker 2: of just wonder, is Masa going to still be an
14:55
Speaker 2: $ 18 million bat off the bench when someone like Curtis
14:59
Speaker 2: Meade is probably going to be getting a lot of ABs?
15:01
Speaker 2: If you think of Roman Anthony, who seems to be
15:05
Speaker 2: the more comfortable role, seems to be playing outfield as
15:09
Speaker 2: well as splitting time at DH. So I just feel
15:12
Speaker 2: like with all the bats that you have in the
15:15
Speaker 2: DH spot already that are going to be needing ABs,
15:18
Speaker 2: I have a hard time seeing where Massa is going
15:21
Speaker 2: to be able to fit in here. And, you know,
15:23
Speaker 2: you also think about the fact that he's going to
15:24
Speaker 2: be making right around 18 million dollars. I imagine the
15:28
Speaker 2: Red Sox are going to look to try and trade
15:30
Speaker 2: him somewhere to even if they have to eat a
15:33
Speaker 2: little bit of that salary just to be able to
15:35
Speaker 2: clear it off the books and obviously clear the roster
15:38
Speaker 2: space as well. And if they're unable to make a
15:41
Speaker 2: trade out there with the team, I could just see
15:43
Speaker 2: a straight up DFA as much as I would hate
15:46
Speaker 2: to see that because, again, when healthy, he has shown that.
15:49
Speaker 2: to be a good hitter. But I'm going to say
15:51
Speaker 2: right now, just because of the guys they already have
15:55
Speaker 2: in the mix needing ABs at the DH spot, I
15:58
Speaker 2: have a hard time seeing Masa being back with the
16:01
Speaker 2: Red Sox for next year. Now, last year, I said
16:03
Speaker 2: this as well, but, you know, thinking back to it,
16:07
Speaker 2: you know, he had a couple more years left on
16:09
Speaker 2: the contract. So that's a lot of money you have
16:12
Speaker 2: to try and clear. And it was already an underwater
16:14
Speaker 2: contract as it was. But trying to clear that much
16:17
Speaker 2: salary is tough. But because he's only got one year remaining,
16:21
Speaker 2: I imagine the Red Sox will be able to find
16:23
Speaker 2: a way to move him to another team or even
16:26
Speaker 2: if it just ends up being a DFA. I feel
16:28
Speaker 2: like they're going to be more willing to stomach that
16:31
Speaker 2: at this point. And I've said it before, while I
16:33
Speaker 2: do think he's a good hitter and a guy that
16:35
Speaker 2: gets on base well, he works counts well, he's just
16:37
Speaker 2: not going to be able to give you that pop
16:40
Speaker 2: that you really want out of the DH spot. If
16:42
Speaker 2: you've got a guy that's getting a ton of ABs mostly,
16:45
Speaker 2: at the DH spot, you want more production there. You know,
16:48
Speaker 2: a decent batting average and a good on-base percentage is nice,
16:51
Speaker 2: but you need more slug in that spot. So that's
16:54
Speaker 2: kind of where I think the Red Sox are going
16:56
Speaker 2: to be heading. Again, guys like Roman, Curtis Meade, they're
16:58
Speaker 2: going to be getting ABs at the DH spot. And
17:01
Speaker 2: if they want to add another impact bat, I would imagine,
17:04
Speaker 2: you know, that could be a guy that could potentially
17:07
Speaker 2: share some DH duties as well. So in the end,
17:10
Speaker 2: I think the Red Sox are going to move on
17:11
Speaker 2: from Masutake Yoshida.
17:13
Speaker 1: This is the call of the Australian rubber bird.
17:16
Speaker 2: Snap! Snap!
17:18
Speaker 1: This is the call of the Alaskan chili bird.
17:21
Speaker 2: Kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki-kiki- Let's move on to the next guy here, shall we?
17:54
Speaker 2: Fourth on my list, I'm going to throw in Jaron
17:57
Speaker 2: Duran here. Now, I've been talking about Jaron Duran over
18:00
Speaker 2: the last couple of years as a possible trade candidate.
18:02
Speaker 2: I thought for sure he was going to get traded
18:05
Speaker 2: last offseason. And it looked like at one point it
18:07
Speaker 2: could have been heading that way. But the Red Sox
18:10
Speaker 2: ended up holding on to him. You go back to
18:12
Speaker 2: last offseason, we were talking about the outfield surplus. That
18:15
Speaker 2: was a big talking point last offseason, right? Because you
18:18
Speaker 2: had Duran. roman had emerged will your seti you know
18:22
Speaker 2: gold glovers in the outfield so you're thinking how you
18:24
Speaker 2: gonna make this work and you were thinking too like
18:26
Speaker 2: you know you had masa at the time or if
18:28
Speaker 2: they were gonna go get themselves another bat right you're
18:31
Speaker 2: thinking how is this gonna work with four outfielders you
18:33
Speaker 2: know and the dh spot with other bats as well
18:36
Speaker 2: but in the end it pretty much worked for the
18:37
Speaker 2: red socks roman ended up getting hurt and ended up
18:40
Speaker 2: being a good thing that you had to ran but
18:42
Speaker 2: At the same time, the season that Duran had was
18:46
Speaker 2: extremely underwhelming, right? Now, he did post a 2020 season,
18:49
Speaker 2: 20 homers, 21 stolen bases, but.
18:53
Speaker 2: Everything else offensively was absolutely atrocious. Now, when it comes
18:58
Speaker 2: to all-time Major League players that have posted a 20-20 season,
19:03
Speaker 2: 20 homers and 20 stolen bases, none of them in
19:06
Speaker 2: Major League history have had an OPS under 650 and
19:10
Speaker 2: a batting average under 250 until.
19:14
Speaker 2: Jaron Duran here in 2026 he's the only player in
19:17
Speaker 2: major league history to have a 2020 season while hitting
19:20
Speaker 2: under 250 with an OPS under 650. I think with
19:24
Speaker 2: Duran while there are some good things there right he
19:27
Speaker 2: still obviously has that pop he has that speed and
19:30
Speaker 2: he played good defense out in left field this year
19:32
Speaker 2: but besides those things he was just completely lost this
19:35
Speaker 2: year the plate discipline went down the tubes the batted
19:38
Speaker 2: ball profile wasn't very strong this year more middle of
19:41
Speaker 2: the road You know, the expected numbers didn't look very good.
19:44
Speaker 2: So I think because of those things, I think the
19:46
Speaker 2: Red Sox, they're going to move on this coming offseason.
19:50
Speaker 2: He still has a little bit of control left. That
19:52
Speaker 2: still gives him a decent amount of trade value. And again,
19:55
Speaker 2: did post a 2020 season. He still has that skill
19:59
Speaker 2: set where I could see other teams out there looking
20:01
Speaker 2: at that and be like, you know what? Let's bring
20:03
Speaker 2: him in and let's see what we can do with
20:05
Speaker 2: this guy, right? There is a good player in Jaron Duran.
20:08
Speaker 2: We just saw it. A few years ago, I mean,
20:10
Speaker 2: this guy was off the charts back in 2024. And unfortunately,
20:14
Speaker 2: the numbers have just regressed since then. But he has
20:17
Speaker 2: that track record of being a good player. So I
20:19
Speaker 2: could see teams out there willing to take a chance
20:22
Speaker 2: on him. And because the overall numbers have dipped this year,
20:25
Speaker 2: his trade value has pretty much crashed down to earth.
20:28
Speaker 2: The fact that he has a little bit of control left,
20:31
Speaker 2: two more years of control left, until free agency, not
20:34
Speaker 2: a cheaper salary for the most part. I can see
20:37
Speaker 2: teams out there thinking, hey, you know, this is a
20:39
Speaker 2: 2020 guy. We wouldn't have to give up too much
20:41
Speaker 2: for him. So yeah, let's pull off a trade here.
20:44
Speaker 2: And Craig Breslow, while he has held a high price
20:46
Speaker 2: tag for him before, he's not going to be able
20:49
Speaker 2: to do that this time around. And when you think
20:51
Speaker 2: of just the Red Sox roster right now, I mean,
20:53
Speaker 2: you still have the outfield surplus. I imagine Roman is
20:57
Speaker 2: going to be back next year. I expect him to
20:59
Speaker 2: be fully healthy. for 2027 and I know there's going
21:02
Speaker 2: to be people out there that doubt Roman's health moving
21:04
Speaker 2: forward but that's the outfield you have for the most
21:07
Speaker 2: part moving forward with Roman in left Seti in center
21:10
Speaker 2: and Willier out and right but you need more impact
21:14
Speaker 2: offensively you were hoping Durant would be able to give
21:16
Speaker 2: you more than this right but because of the overall
21:19
Speaker 2: numbers this year being absolutely atrocious I think the Red
21:22
Speaker 2: Sox are going to look at this and think you
21:23
Speaker 2: know what we need to make an upgrade offensively. We
21:26
Speaker 2: need to get a guy that's going to be more consistent. Sure,
21:29
Speaker 2: 2020 season, that's pretty good, but when you take a
21:32
Speaker 2: look at everything else, he just wasn't really able to
21:35
Speaker 2: impact the team as much as you would want. I
21:38
Speaker 2: think in the end, teams, they're going to look at
21:40
Speaker 2: his skill set. They're going to be willing to take
21:41
Speaker 2: a chance on him. It's not going to cost really
21:43
Speaker 2: too much to acquire him, and I think from the
21:45
Speaker 2: Red Sox point of view, they need to make upgrades offensively.
21:49
Speaker 2: So when those two things come together, I think the
21:51
Speaker 2: Red Sox end up trading him away. Now, there are
21:54
Speaker 2: going to be some offensive upgrades on the free agent market.
21:57
Speaker 2: And the first guy I got my eyes on is
21:59
Speaker 2: Randy Rosarena. You could say he's the best bat available
22:02
Speaker 2: in free agency this offseason. But we all remember Randy
22:05
Speaker 2: Rosarena with the Rays causing havoc against the Red Sox
22:08
Speaker 2: for so many years. He's always hit well at Fenway Park,
22:11
Speaker 2: right around 830. OPS in his career there. He's a
22:14
Speaker 2: guy that's going to be a bit more of a
22:16
Speaker 2: pole hitter, so I could see him being a good
22:18
Speaker 2: fit with the Green Monster there. But the one thing
22:20
Speaker 2: with Randy that's always stuck out with him is postseason success,
22:25
Speaker 2: over a 900 OPS in his career in the postseason.
22:28
Speaker 2: So you know this guy is going to be a
22:29
Speaker 2: gamer if you are obviously trying to go win yourself
22:33
Speaker 2: a World Series. So with Randy, I think he could
22:35
Speaker 2: fit well between left field and DH, splitting time with
22:39
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony there. So I think you could make that work.
22:42
Speaker 2: And with Randy, he would absolutely be a fan favorite
22:45
Speaker 2: in Boston, doing the arm cross thing. He's always had
22:49
Speaker 2: a pretty good personality. So I can see Boston fans
22:51
Speaker 2: really liking him at Fenway Park. And with the Red Sox,
22:54
Speaker 2: they have money. coming off the books. You know, Sonny Gray,
22:57
Speaker 2: he has a mutual option that I don't think is
22:59
Speaker 2: going to get exercised. They have a couple other guys
23:01
Speaker 2: coming off the books as well. So with the Red Sox,
23:04
Speaker 2: you know, they are pretty set on the pitching side
23:06
Speaker 2: of things. So if they really wanted to invest some
23:08
Speaker 2: money into a bat for the next four to five
23:11
Speaker 2: years or so, I could see them having some interest
23:14
Speaker 2: in Randy. And then you got someone like Seiya Suzuki
23:17
Speaker 2: as well. You know, same thing. You know, he can
23:19
Speaker 2: play some outfield, maybe DH a couple of days. Now,
23:22
Speaker 2: one issue that with say I don't know if it's
23:24
Speaker 2: an issue necessarily but just a question mark in my
23:27
Speaker 2: opinion is he's more of a right fielder right he's
23:30
Speaker 2: a pretty good right fielder at that he posted very
23:33
Speaker 2: good numbers in right field this year right near the
23:35
Speaker 2: top when he came to outs above average and a
23:36
Speaker 2: very good arm as well if he's open to playing
23:39
Speaker 2: some left field I could see that splitting time with
23:42
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony. But another issue there is, you know, go
23:44
Speaker 2: back a couple of years ago when the Cubs brought
23:46
Speaker 2: in Kyle Tucker, you know, there were some things going
23:48
Speaker 2: on where he was saying he wanted to play in
23:50
Speaker 2: the field every day, right? He didn't really want to
23:53
Speaker 2: be DH-ing for the most part. So you were hearing him,
23:55
Speaker 2: you know, possibly coming up on the rumor mill for
23:58
Speaker 2: a possible trade. So I don't know if he would
24:00
Speaker 2: be willing to to split time between left field and DH.
24:04
Speaker 2: I don't know. Something to think about there. But his
24:06
Speaker 2: swing would fit really well at Fenway Park. More of
24:09
Speaker 2: a pulse swing compared to Randy's. So obviously with the
24:12
Speaker 2: green monster, that fits. So I think Sayap could be
24:15
Speaker 2: a possible fit there. Now, if you wanted to go
24:17
Speaker 2: for a cheaper option that could play some outfield, even
24:20
Speaker 2: a little bit of first base, DH obviously. Jake Bowers
24:24
Speaker 2: is coming off a career year. 873 OPS, a 143 touchdown.
24:28
Speaker 2: WRC plus 26 homers, 11 stolen bases to go with it.
24:31
Speaker 2: So could you see a situation where he can play
24:34
Speaker 2: some first base some days while Wilson can DH, you know,
24:37
Speaker 2: if Roman was going to DH some days, he can
24:39
Speaker 2: go play some left, you know, even if Willier needed
24:42
Speaker 2: a day or whatever it may be, he can go
24:44
Speaker 2: play some rice. Now he doesn't have quite the track
24:46
Speaker 2: record as Randy or say, obviously coming off a career year,
24:49
Speaker 2: but you know, he could be a guy that I
24:51
Speaker 2: could see the Red Sox having some interest in. He
24:53
Speaker 2: would be on the cheaper side. He's obviously, you know,
24:55
Speaker 2: not as sexy of a name, compared to Randy or
24:58
Speaker 2: Seah but you know I could see the Red Sox
25:00
Speaker 2: having some interest here he is going to be more
25:03
Speaker 2: of a pole guy but with the batter ball profile
25:05
Speaker 2: that should be able to fit well at Fenway Park
25:08
Speaker 2: but he also has the ability to go oppo a
25:10
Speaker 2: little bit so I could see him peppering that monster
25:12
Speaker 2: a little bit as well you know so Jake Bowers
25:14
Speaker 2: again I'm kind of looking at really you know the
25:16
Speaker 2: versatility that he has the good power that he has
25:19
Speaker 2: from the left side.
25:20
Speaker 3: To Okay, Kratzy, here we are again, man. How many
25:24
Speaker 3: times do we have to tell people to get the
25:26
Speaker 3: best tickets in the house? Where do we got to go?
25:28
Speaker 3: We got to go to SeatGeek. It's been worth it
25:31
Speaker 3: so many times, so many years. The green light will
25:34
Speaker 3: let you know when it is time to go and
25:36
Speaker 3: the best seats available. The red will let you know
25:38
Speaker 3: if it's not the best. Kratzy, tell them how easy
25:41
Speaker 3: it is.
25:42
Speaker 4: Todd, I know it's easy, but I'm looking for the
25:44
Speaker 4: deals because that's what I do. Even so much, like
25:48
Speaker 4: we're getting such a good deal. I want you to
25:50
Speaker 4: come across the river. and we'll go to a Sixers
25:52
Speaker 4: game together. I don't know where to sit in the stadium,
25:55
Speaker 4: but it'll let me know that it's a perfect view
25:57
Speaker 4: because I'm not a big NBA fan, but I gotta
26:01
Speaker 4: go see the Sixers play with LeBron and the boys.
26:03
Speaker 3: And of course I have a code for you all.
26:05
Speaker 3: You can use code TERRITORY10 for 10% off your next
26:08
Speaker 3: set of tickets at SeatGeek. That's 10% of all tickets
26:12
Speaker 3: with promo code TERRITORY10. Make sure you click the link
26:15
Speaker 3: in the description to download the app and have the
26:17
Speaker 3: code automatically added to your account so you can use
26:20
Speaker 3: it later.
26:22
Speaker 2: Now, if you wanted to get away from, you know,
26:24
Speaker 2: the outfield first base, you know, I'm also looking at
26:27
Speaker 2: Brandon Lau. Now, second base has been a bit of
26:30
Speaker 2: a revolving door for the Red Sox over the years.
26:33
Speaker 2: It feels like they just have not been able to
26:36
Speaker 2: find the guy at second base. Well, Brandon Lau would
26:40
Speaker 2: absolutely solve that. He's coming off one of his best
26:42
Speaker 2: seasons at the plate with the Pittsburgh Pirates. 824 OPS,
26:44
Speaker 2: 35 homers, 96 RBIs. a 121 WRC plus he was
26:49
Speaker 2: right around a five war player not just because of
26:51
Speaker 2: the offense but the defense as well he posted a
26:53
Speaker 2: career year at second base this year and defensively at
26:56
Speaker 2: second base that has been a bit of a question
26:58
Speaker 2: mark for the Red Sox over the last few years
27:00
Speaker 2: but obviously he did great there this year so yeah
27:03
Speaker 2: Brandon Lau Trevor Story up the middle and with Trevor
27:06
Speaker 2: Story he has one year left until free agency so
27:09
Speaker 2: with Franklin Arias he wouldn't be too blocked over at shortstop.
27:14
Speaker 2: You know, I've thought about where Story, he could be
27:16
Speaker 2: the shortstop for next year. And then Arias, he can
27:18
Speaker 2: come up, maybe play some second base at some point.
27:20
Speaker 2: Or if Story goes down at short, he can play there, obviously.
27:23
Speaker 2: But if you sign Lau, that, you know, that wouldn't
27:26
Speaker 2: necessarily block Arias for too long. So something to think about.
27:30
Speaker 2: And one more thing I forgot to mention with Lau,
27:32
Speaker 2: same thing with Randy. He was with the Rays. for
27:34
Speaker 2: so many years he's obviously had a lot of experience
27:37
Speaker 2: playing against the Red Sox playing at Fenway Park and
27:40
Speaker 2: his numbers at Fenway Park are really good has over
27:43
Speaker 2: an 1100 OPS in his career at Fenway Park and
27:47
Speaker 2: another good thing about Brandon Lau as well is this
27:50
Speaker 2: is a guy that's good in the clubhouse he's a
27:52
Speaker 2: good veteran he's a guy that's very active in the
27:54
Speaker 2: community he's done charity work wherever he's gone so you
27:57
Speaker 2: know Brandon Lau I could see the Red Sox having
28:00
Speaker 2: some interest and Because he is 32 years old now,
28:03
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be getting himself like
28:04
Speaker 2: a seven or an eight year deal, even a six
28:07
Speaker 2: year deal. I could see something along the lines of
28:09
Speaker 2: a four to a five year deal for Brandon Lau.
28:11
Speaker 2: That seems to be right in the sweet spot of
28:14
Speaker 2: where the Red Sox have liked to go when it
28:16
Speaker 2: comes to free agent contracts in the past. So, yeah,
28:18
Speaker 2: Brandon Lau, I think he checks off a lot of
28:21
Speaker 2: boxes here. But another name I want you to keep
28:24
Speaker 2: an eye on is a guy coming out of Japan
28:26
Speaker 2: by the name of Teruaki Sato. This guy's got a
28:29
Speaker 2: really good bat from the left side of the plate.
28:31
Speaker 2: He's probably going to be winning his second straight MVP
28:35
Speaker 2: in the MPB this year. Not quite the power of
28:37
Speaker 2: Munataka Murakami, but still has a good amount of it
28:40
Speaker 2: from the left side of the plate. You know, taking
28:41
Speaker 2: a look. at the numbers this year. I mean, this
28:43
Speaker 2: guy put up great numbers this year. 137 games, hitting 316,
28:48
Speaker 2: a 395 on base percentage, a 626 on the slugging,
28:51
Speaker 2: 38 homers. He had 40 homers last year. So yeah,
28:54
Speaker 2: Murakami's got better power upside, but he's a very good
28:57
Speaker 2: bat himself. He kind of reminds me of Hideki Matsui
29:00
Speaker 2: for a couple of reasons. One being very similar numbers
29:03
Speaker 2: to Matsui in his last couple of years in the
29:06
Speaker 2: MPB before signing with the Yankees in the early 2000s.
29:09
Speaker 2: but also he has a bit more athleticism compared to
29:12
Speaker 2: Munataka Murakami. With Murakami, more of a first baseman DH profile,
29:17
Speaker 2: but with Sato, he's got a really good arm that's
29:20
Speaker 2: capable of playing third base and a corner outfield spot. Now,
29:23
Speaker 2: could you see a situation where you bring in Sato
29:25
Speaker 2: to play third base and then Durbin, he can move
29:28
Speaker 2: over to second base. Now, like I just said a
29:30
Speaker 2: little bit ago, Second base has been a bit of
29:32
Speaker 2: a revolving door for the Red Sox. Well, Durbin, he
29:35
Speaker 2: could be your answer for second base. And he's played
29:37
Speaker 2: a lot of second base in the past while he
29:39
Speaker 2: was with the Brewers. So I could see him being
29:41
Speaker 2: just fine over at second. Very good defensively at third base,
29:45
Speaker 2: but I trust that he'd be able to handle second base.
29:47
Speaker 2: And Sato, yeah, there are question marks defensively, but maybe
29:51
Speaker 2: you can get that shirt up a little bit, work
29:53
Speaker 2: with him on the side, you know, kind of improve
29:55
Speaker 2: a couple of things. And You know, he could be
29:57
Speaker 2: your third baseman or, you know, maybe just split time.
29:59
Speaker 2: He could play third and then Durbin. He could play
30:01
Speaker 2: second those days and then Durbin can play third and
30:04
Speaker 2: then Sato could be your DH. You know, so I
30:06
Speaker 2: feel like you could make that work. But, you know,
30:08
Speaker 2: with Sato again, he provides a lot of ceiling with
30:12
Speaker 2: the bat. You know, you think of last offseason, the
30:14
Speaker 2: Red Sox were connected a little bit. with Munataka Murakami
30:18
Speaker 2: obviously he ended up going to the White Sox but
30:20
Speaker 2: a lot of people were hoping the Red Sox would
30:22
Speaker 2: bring in a bat like that because obviously power upside
30:26
Speaker 2: for days I mean look what he did with the
30:27
Speaker 2: White Sox this year someone like Sato could definitely bring
30:31
Speaker 2: you some pretty good power that could definitely clear Fenway
30:33
Speaker 2: Park as a left-handed hitter so I'd say keep your
30:36
Speaker 2: eyes on Teruaki Sato the last guy on my list
30:42
Speaker 2: the guy that I have last on my list Is
30:45
Speaker 2: Sonny Gray. And I hate saying that because he's been amazing.
30:48
Speaker 2: for the Red Sox this year. Tied for the Major
30:50
Speaker 2: League lead in wins with 18, tied with Christopher Sanchez
30:54
Speaker 2: over in the National League. Now I'm not really a
30:57
Speaker 2: big wins guy necessarily. You know, I like looking at
31:00
Speaker 2: the ERA, the FIP, the strikeouts. I like looking at
31:03
Speaker 2: the metrics, but still 18 wins. That just goes to
31:07
Speaker 2: show that the Red Sox were very successful when he
31:10
Speaker 2: was on the mound and he was pitching well in
31:12
Speaker 2: game two in the wild card round against the Yankees.
31:15
Speaker 2: I felt he got pulled too early. He felt that
31:17
Speaker 2: as well. I think for the most part, all of
31:19
Speaker 2: us agree that he should have stayed in that game
31:22
Speaker 2: at least a little bit longer. He was only at
31:24
Speaker 2: 70 pitches for crying out loud. He was very good
31:27
Speaker 2: this year. Third time through the order. He's shown plenty
31:29
Speaker 2: of times this year to be able to work out
31:31
Speaker 2: of jams. So I felt like he should have stayed
31:33
Speaker 2: in that game, even though the Yankees did pick up
31:35
Speaker 2: a couple of base hits off of him. Still, I
31:38
Speaker 2: would have trusted Sonny to maneuver his way out of
31:41
Speaker 2: that situation. That's just me. But I wonder if that
31:44
Speaker 2: comes into play with his decision making. He's got the
31:47
Speaker 2: mutual option that doesn't usually get exercised because obviously it
31:51
Speaker 2: takes two to tango with that. From his point of view,
31:54
Speaker 2: he's getting towards the end of his career. I imagine
31:57
Speaker 2: he would like to go sign like a multi-year deal
32:00
Speaker 2: to finish off his career. And for the Red Sox,
32:03
Speaker 2: you know, we all know they're very analytical players. I
32:05
Speaker 2: feel like they probably take a look at something with
32:08
Speaker 2: the metrics and they're like, well, you know, you had
32:10
Speaker 2: a good season this year, but we feel like moving forward,
32:13
Speaker 2: this is probably what you're going to be worth. So
32:15
Speaker 2: we could do a contract along these lines. And then
32:18
Speaker 2: I could see Sonny being like, no, that's not quite
32:21
Speaker 2: what I'm looking for. And then when you got teams
32:23
Speaker 2: out there that are always looking for starting pitching, I
32:25
Speaker 2: could imagine a team out there. paying him a pretty
32:28
Speaker 2: penny to go finish his career there so I just
32:30
Speaker 2: feel like when you combine those factors you know the
32:33
Speaker 2: contract negotiations obviously having a bad taste in your mouth
32:37
Speaker 2: to end the year you know wanting to stay in
32:39
Speaker 2: the game you know I wonder if that comes into
32:42
Speaker 2: play but I mentioned this as well With the Red
32:45
Speaker 2: Sox earlier when talking about Patrick Sandoval coming full circle here,
32:48
Speaker 2: you already have a lot of pitching depth within the organization, right?
32:52
Speaker 2: Got Garrett Crochet. He's going to be back atop the
32:55
Speaker 2: rotation next year. Dayton Tully coming off a tremendous rookie season.
32:59
Speaker 2: Jake Bennett also very solid in his rookie season. Ranger Suarez,
33:02
Speaker 2: he's looked like a good signing so far. So you
33:04
Speaker 2: already got four guys that are going to be prime
33:06
Speaker 2: members of the rotation right there. But then you got
33:09
Speaker 2: guys that are going to be coming back along with
33:11
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet, right? Tanner Houck, we saw him. at the
33:14
Speaker 2: end of the season there. So I imagine he's going
33:16
Speaker 2: to have a say for a rotation spot. Brian Bale,
33:19
Speaker 2: I imagine, is not going to be staying in a
33:21
Speaker 2: long relief role for the rest of his career. So
33:24
Speaker 2: I think he's going to have a say when it
33:26
Speaker 2: comes to a rotation spot. Johan Oviedo, don't forget about him.
33:29
Speaker 2: They brought him in last offseason. What happens with cutter
33:32
Speaker 2: crawford here you know yeah there are some injuries going
33:36
Speaker 2: on with a few of these guys but then you
33:37
Speaker 2: go even further down into the minor leagues you know
33:40
Speaker 2: you got some guys down here as well jettison paez
33:42
Speaker 2: who came up for a couple of starts of the
33:44
Speaker 2: red sox this year i imagine he could be a
33:46
Speaker 2: candidate for some spot starts john holobets he looked pretty
33:49
Speaker 2: good this year gage zeal posted some pretty decent numbers
33:51
Speaker 2: so you already have a good amount of arms in
33:53
Speaker 2: the organization already and you know then you can go
33:56
Speaker 2: out there and free agency maybe you know pick up
33:58
Speaker 2: a guy on, say, a one-year deal. I could see
34:01
Speaker 2: the Red Sox going that route. And as good as
34:03
Speaker 2: Sonny Gray is, I would love to have him back.
34:06
Speaker 2: If the Red Sox bring him back, that's great. I'm
34:08
Speaker 2: not going to completely dismiss that. You know, anything can happen, obviously. Yeah,
34:13
Speaker 2: he had a lot of success with the Red Sox
34:15
Speaker 2: this year. Obviously, it was working. So I wouldn't be
34:17
Speaker 2: surprised at all if they were able to work out
34:19
Speaker 2: something new.
34:20
Speaker 1: I hope they do.
34:21
Speaker 2: But, you know, when I'm thinking of just how things
34:24
Speaker 2: ended this year, teams out there looking for starting pitching,
34:27
Speaker 2: how the Red Sox possibly value him moving forward, I'm
34:31
Speaker 2: going to say that he ends up not coming back.
34:34
Speaker 2: You know, I could see him honestly going to the
34:36
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves for a couple of years, right? That's close
34:38
Speaker 2: to home for him. You know, maybe with him and
34:40
Speaker 2: his family, he'd like to be closer to home towards
34:43
Speaker 2: the end of his career. So I'm going to say
34:45
Speaker 2: that for now. I think Sonny Gray is going to
34:48
Speaker 2: end up not coming. returning but ladies and gentlemen that
34:51
