  Speaker 1: Welcome back and everybody to GM territory. And this is
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a late episode, but for a great reason. Ark Scoobel
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: is an LA Dodger. Jim, what is your reaction to this?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, huge trade. I wish I could tell you I'm surprised,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: but I'm not. I thought he would end up with
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: either the Dodgers or the Brewers, and the deal finally
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: got done to the Los Angeles Dodgers. So obviously for
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, we're going to give them an eight plus.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: They got the best pitcher that was available. The best
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: player that gets traded at this deadline goes to the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Dodgers as the rich get richer. As we all know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers have won two consecutive World Series. They were
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the favorites to win a third consecutive World Series before
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: this trade. Of course, Schooble has won the Cy Young
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: each of the last two years. So to be able
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to add School Bowl to the top of their rotation.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: He and Yashinobu Yamamoto to be able to pitch games
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: one and two of a postseason series makes it dominant.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You know, the Dodgers have dealt with some injuries to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: their rotation, this hyear year they've had injury showy Otani
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: with the knee injury, Blake Snell's had injuries, so is
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now. But all of them should be healthy
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: well by the time they get to October. We get
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: which gives them real five really good starters. And I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: didn't even count on Justin Robleski and Evan Shean. So look,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: this Dodger pitching staff is going to be seven deep
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: by the time they get October. Some of these guys
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: will go to the bullpen, but the Dodgers heavy, heavy
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: favorites to win again. On the other side of this deal,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Trey I really did like it from the Tiger's side,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, given the fact they gave up a two
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: month renoal in Schoogle to be able to get three
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: top prospects back, it's a good return. I'll give them
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a great a River Ryan and Brady Smith, two of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: these guys are going to be long term rotation guys
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: for the Tigers. Obviously, none of them arbitration eligible, will
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: control them for six years. And to me, the headliner
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: in this deal Zayer Hope. I absolutely love Zayer Hope,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the outfielder who ironically he was the fourth best prospect
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: outfielder in the Dodgers organization. That's how deep they are.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But Zayer Hope is one of the best outfield prospects
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: in baseball. For most teams, he would be their number
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: one outfield prospect, and that's what he is immediately for
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the Detroit Tigers. So I don't think the deal surprises us,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: but obviously it makes the Dodgers that much better. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: for the Tigers, it's a really good return, an expected return.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I think we predicted something pretty close to this, So
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it's an expected return, but a good deal on both sides.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: What was your take on the return for the Tigers specifically?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought the return was an a just
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: like you did. You know, let's start with the river
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Ryan here. He's a converted infielder who really didn't start
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: pitching professionally until twenty twenty two. He's genuinely new to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the craft relative to his age. You know, he had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery back in August twenty twenty four. It
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: wiped out completely his twenty twenty five season, and twenty
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: twenty six has been a stop art built up. But look,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: he has been pitching extremely well. He has a two
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: seven six currently in ERA and Triple A. And look,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: his whip is also one point one point eight. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a guy like that, getting a guy like that from
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers bringing him into the organization, I think he's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: going to have an impact for the Tigers in twenty
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: twenty seven and in twenty twenty eight.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And how about Zayer Hope? What was your take on him?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Do you like him as much as I do?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Oh? I love Zayer Hope. He has ten home runs
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: right now in the month of July, he's hitting three
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: seventy two in the month of July. He has off
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the Sharks batspeed, thunderus rob power just for a five
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: foot ten frame. Jim, I want to ask you, how
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: do you think he fits into this Tiger's team.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously if it's in great because they've got such
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a young core players. And this is what I love
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: about the acquisition of Hope is the fact that the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Tigers young position players at the major league level and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the farm system is really strong right about this. Their
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: young catcher Dylan Dingler arguably is the best all around
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: catcher in baseball right now. Their rookie Kevin McGonagall is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a hitter that's gonna win batting titles like he's that good.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Riley Green, the left fielder, is an emerging superstar. They've
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: got a young first baseman in the minor leagues Josu Brisania,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: who can flat out hit. He had a couple of
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: home runs on Saturday as well. I mean, this guy
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: is a stud. They've got a young first round shortstop
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in the lower minor leagues. It's going to be a star.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: So you add hope to this group and it just
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: bodes well for the future. And I didn't even mention
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Max Clark, who made his major league debut on Friday.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: He's off to a really good start in his career.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: So think of all those really good young players the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Tigers are putting together, and then in this deal you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: get two young starting pitchers. So with all these young players,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the Tigers are going to have resources going forward to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: invest in other starting pitchers. So I know it's a
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: difficult trade for Tiger fans to deal with today, losing
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the guy that won the Cy Young Award each in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the last two years. But you know, it was a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: very strong, very strong return. I wanted to get your
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: final take on that third player in the deal. Going
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: back to Detroit, what was your take on Smith? Yeah?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Look, Smith had Tommy John surgery essentially that cost him
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: his first two pro seasons. He threw only twenty one
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: innings total before this year, and twenty twenty six has
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: been that let's let the arm finally let loose type
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of season. He has been a strikeout machine and single
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a you know, eighty one strikeouts and under fifteen innings.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Look, he is a young prospect
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that it's worth taking a risk on. But look, he
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: has dealt with injuries. However, I think this is a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: great return.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I do too. So now we have to talk about
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: what is the impact of the Dodgers getting Schooball instead
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of the Brewers or the raise the trade deadline? Right?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And I think we know the answer to that because
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to affect the collective bargaining. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: think that the Dodgers getting Schooble is one more reason
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: while the major league owners are going to be willing
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to give up the twenty twenty seven season if that's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: what it takes in order to get a salary cap.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Because in a situation like this, the Brewers and Rays
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: as an example, they had as much in their farm
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: system to trade for school as the Dodgers did, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: they were unwilling to do that because they have to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: worry about putting together smaller payroll teams in the future.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: As an example, the Dodgers payrolls three hundred million more
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: than the Brewers this year, three hundred million more. That
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't include Trek's Schoobl's contract. And so I think the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: owners who desperately want Major League Baseball to adopt a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: salary cap like the NBA, the NFL, and the NHL,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: is for reasons like this. And I think that this
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: particular trade, if this propels the Dodgers to go win
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: their third World Championship, right and they end up playing
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: another big market team like the Yanks He's in the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: World Series, I think I think we may have a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: workstoppage if the players really don't want to have a
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: salary cap like every other league has. I think that
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's where I headed, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I think that part is unfortunate. But today I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: we should be celebrating, you know, the Dodgers getting better.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Congrats to them, heavy favorites to win and for the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Tigers front office. They did a good job in their
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: return given the circumstances.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: What's going to happen with Casey Mees, Now, it's.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: A great question. What's next is always what we look at. Right,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Casey Mies is the next one to be traded, There's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: no question about it. And so let's look at the Brewers,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Let's look at the Braves, look at the Rays. All
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of them are going to begin the knicks for eyes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And by the way, that's not the only player that
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the Tigers are going to trade now. I expect second
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: basement glabor tours to be traded, and I'm expecting relievers
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: like Kyle Finnegan and Kenley Jansen to go as well.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: You know, one of the reasons why the Dodgers decided
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to deal with Schooble late Saturday night was because let's
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: get that off the board, so we can now work
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: on the next deals. Right, and so in order to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: trade Myze, you had to do the Schooble deal first.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So now we'll see what kind of return they can
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: get for Mys. They're obviously they're not going to get
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the same return they got for schoobl But I'm telling
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you They're going to do extremely well, I think, because
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I think Casey Mees arguably is the second best starting
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: pitcher that's going to be traded at this deadline. The
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Tigers have both of them.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to be exciting the next forty eight hours,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. Well everyone, Hey, thanks for tuning in.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: We finally have Terry Schooble off the board. That's it
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: for this edition at GM Territory challengelas a we're gone
