Speaker 2: made one start with the Red Sox and he's got
0:23
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy million dollars. Also explaining Layman's terms,
0:27
Speaker 2: why the Dodgers two twenty nine hitting utility guy Key
0:30

Speaker 1: We'll discuss that.
0:37
Speaker 2: And in the NBA, did John Morants play a did
0:41
Speaker 2: Ja Morant play a role in the Grizzlies firing of
0:45
Speaker 2: coach Taylor Jenkins.

0:49
Speaker 2: Right now here. It is our number two. Oh, this
0:53
Speaker 2: is quite the case of inflation nation. Welcome in not
0:59
Speaker 2: being of another hour of the Benmaal Show. We are
1:04

1:51
Speaker 2: Boston loves the number ten thousand tirat dot com The
1:54
Speaker 2: Way Tire Buying showb So our lead this hour is
1:59
Speaker 2: some baseball in a massive, massive contractual agreement has been announced.
2:07
Speaker 2: Was it Vladimir Guerrero getting his deal with the Toronto
2:12
Speaker 2: baseball team?
2:14
Speaker 1: No, no it was not.
2:17
Speaker 2: But our lead this hour is from the rain making
2:19
Speaker 2: it rain, and that would be the team that plays
2:23
Speaker 2: in Boston. They have yet to play at the friendly
2:26
Speaker 2: confines there at Fenway Park this year. They've been on
2:28
Speaker 2: the road and a man alive. Now, this is not
2:31
Speaker 2: about Rafael Devers. He's making it rain with strikeouts. More
2:34
Speaker 2: on him later because that's quite the story. We need
2:36
Speaker 2: to do a deep dive on that, but we'll save
2:38
Speaker 2: that for later in the show. Right now, the story
2:42
Speaker 2: which popped up late Monday night.
2:45
Speaker 1: The story if you did not hear.
2:46
Speaker 2: It possibly not the Boston baseball team. We have learned
2:51
Speaker 2: the Red Sox have opened up the wallet and they
2:55
Speaker 2: have taken a giant wad of money and thrown it
3:00
Speaker 2: at Garrett Crochet, and he has docu signed a six
3:06
Speaker 2: year contract that is believed to be worth one.
3:09
Speaker 1: Hundred and seventy million.
3:13
Speaker 2: Dead presidents, a massive contract extension for Garrett Crochet. The
3:18
Speaker 2: deal includes an opt out. Why not that's for the
3:22
Speaker 2: twenty thirty season.
3:24
Speaker 1: However, if he sucks.
3:26
Speaker 2: He won't opt out and he'll stay with the Red
3:28
Speaker 2: Sox through the twenty thirty one season. Remember, the opt
3:31
Speaker 2: out only works if you're bad or if you're good. Rather,
3:35
Speaker 2: if you're bad, you don't opt out because you're not
3:37
Speaker 2: likely going to get the more money. All right, So
3:40
Speaker 2: let us discuss the question for the esteem panel.
3:45
Speaker 1: How do you categorize?
3:47
Speaker 2: How do you categorize this Garrett Crochet extension with the
3:51
Speaker 2: Red Sox If you're not familiar with his game, he
3:54
Speaker 2: is a starting pitcher and he's starting pitcher. So I've
3:58
Speaker 2: got Tom Cruise, popular vote and loggerheads, and we will
4:04
Speaker 2: combine all of these things together and we are going
4:08
Speaker 2: to fly the friendly skis, which Garrett Crochet will not
4:11
Speaker 2: have to do because he can fly private with one
4:13
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy million dollar contract. After taxes and the
4:17
Speaker 2: millionaire's tax and the Commonwealth, that's about ten million. But
4:21
Speaker 2: it's still a lot of money, about ten million dogs.
4:24
Speaker 2: So number my first thought is rewarding bad behavior. Rewarding
4:31
Speaker 2: bad behavior will explain why the Red Sox are rewarding
4:34
Speaker 2: bad behavior coming up in a moment. But Boston traded,
4:39
Speaker 2: They boxed themselves into a corner here. They traded a
4:42
Speaker 2: bunch of suspects better known in the industry as scratcher
4:47
Speaker 2: tickets to the Chicago American League Baseball team, the White Sox.
4:52
Speaker 2: So the Red Sox to the White Sox, and they
4:54
Speaker 2: got great Garrett Crochet. And now they are throwing caution
4:58
Speaker 2: to the wind because they feel like they have have
5:00
Speaker 2: no choice and they're betting the bank that this is
5:05
Speaker 2: going to work out. They're betting the bank that this
5:07
Speaker 2: is all going to work out. Garrett is set to
5:09
Speaker 2: reach free agency.
5:10
Speaker 1: Was now he's not.
5:11
Speaker 2: He would have been a free agent in twenty twenty seven,
5:14
Speaker 2: So we had all of this year, all of next year,
5:17
Speaker 2: and then in twenty twenty seven he.
5:18
Speaker 1: Would have been a free agent, and now.
5:21
Speaker 2: That's off the table. Instead the Red Sox locking him up.
5:24
Speaker 2: And he is supposed to be the anchor, whatever that means.
5:27
Speaker 2: He's supposed to be the anchor of the Red Sox rotation,
5:30
Speaker 2: front of the rotation, a number one above the fold,
5:34
Speaker 2: starter for the next at least half a decade in Boston,
5:39
Speaker 2: if not longer. And Croche He's about to turn twenty
5:42
Speaker 2: six this summer, so it must be nicer twenty five.
5:45
Speaker 2: You hat one hundred and seventy million dollar contract. However,
5:49
Speaker 2: this is like an early Tom Cruise movie. It is
5:52
Speaker 2: risky business. It is risky business, and it is also
5:58
Speaker 2: a case where the Red Sox are rewarding bad behavior
6:03
Speaker 2: because last year the White Sox were an abomination. They
6:07
Speaker 2: attempted to trade Garrett Crochet, and the Dodgers were actually
6:10
Speaker 2: interested in him, and rather than go to La and
6:14
Speaker 2: pitch on a team that would go on to win
6:16
Speaker 2: the World Series, this coward Garrett Crochet said, I ain't
6:20
Speaker 2: playing unless I get mine. Bro He pulled the Blake Snell,
6:24
Speaker 2: that little weasel Blake Snell from the Dodger and so
6:28
Speaker 2: he refused to trade. He said, I'm not going over
6:30
Speaker 2: a certain threshold because my arm's gonna fall off because
6:33
Speaker 2: he's such a mister softy. If he was a cat,
6:35
Speaker 2: he'd be the pussy willow kind of flower actually.
6:40
Speaker 1: So anyway, listen that he got rewarded. He got his money.
6:45
Speaker 2: For refusing to pitch in a pennant race, and the
6:49
Speaker 2: Red Sox have no idea.
6:50
Speaker 1: You don't know what you don't know. You're assuming that
6:53
Speaker 1: he will.
6:54
Speaker 2: A stay healthy and b have that big game pedigree
7:00
Speaker 2: that go out there and put a catchup pack in
7:03
Speaker 2: your sock and make it like fake blood like Kurt
7:06
Speaker 2: Shilly and go out there and dominate, or Pedro Martinez,
7:09
Speaker 2: that he'll be one of those guys rather than a
7:12
Speaker 2: guy that goes out there and rides the vomit comment.
7:15
Speaker 1: So you don't know.
7:17
Speaker 2: He's already had Tommy John surgery. He's not battle tested
7:20
Speaker 2: in big games. He's very fragile, and he got paid
7:24
Speaker 2: the bag. Now, the reason he got paid is because
7:26
Speaker 2: last year with the White Sox, when he did pitch
7:28
Speaker 2: on a totally embarrassing baseball team, he had a thirty
7:33
Speaker 2: five point one percent strikeout rate across one hundred and
7:37
Speaker 2: forty six particular innings. And that's the other thing. I
7:42
Speaker 2: believe he's not pitched more than one hundred and sixty
7:46
Speaker 2: innings in any season.
7:48
Speaker 1: You know how many Big league wins.
7:50
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet has. He's been with the White Sox for
7:53
Speaker 2: several years now, he's with the Red Sox.
7:55
Speaker 1: How about nine.
7:57
Speaker 2: He's been in the major leagues for parts of multiple seasons.
7:59
Speaker 2: He has nine wins. Woods don't matter, Boomer, Okay, there
8:05
Speaker 2: was a time. I know I'm dating myself. I'm an
8:07
Speaker 2: old school I'm from the old country. Well, you had
8:10
Speaker 2: to show a little more to get that kind of money.
8:13
Speaker 2: But we're at the point now where you're not in
8:17
Speaker 2: position to have to show more. You get the money anyway,
8:21
Speaker 2: you get the bag. The Red Sox they don't know
8:24
Speaker 2: what they're getting. They think they know what they're getting.
8:26
Speaker 2: Eric Corosche is gonna pitch on Wednesday. Can go out
8:28
Speaker 2: and snap, crackle pop. That's it. No Tommy John. The
8:32
Speaker 2: odds of coming back and dominating after multiple Tommy John
8:35
Speaker 2: surgeries are slim and none.
8:37
Speaker 1: Right, as the old line goes, so good luck on that.
8:40
Speaker 2: But hey, he gets a king's ransom there, and he
8:44
Speaker 2: is at one start. He has pitched I believe eighty
8:47
Speaker 2: eight pitches as a Red Sox in a regular season game,
8:50
Speaker 2: and now he gets the money. Now page two to
8:52
Speaker 2: the Merchandise Department. The merch Department of Major League Baseball.
8:57
Speaker 2: The updated updated a list of who's selling and who's
9:03
Speaker 2: not selling the most sold Major League Baseball jerseys since
9:09
Speaker 2: the end of the World Series where the Doyers raised
9:12
Speaker 2: the trophy in the Bronx and celebrated the championship. Now,
9:16
Speaker 2: as you might imagine, there is a lot of front running.
9:21
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have dominated in merchandise sales, people running out
9:27
Speaker 2: to buy the Dodger gear. Shohy Otani is number one,
9:32
Speaker 2: He's right there at the top, and jersey sales, and
9:37
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman was second. Freddie Freeman was number two in
9:41
Speaker 2: all of baseball. So that sounds like a lot of
9:44
Speaker 2: Atlanta brave fans who miss Freddy went out to buy
9:46
Speaker 2: the Freddie Freeman jersey just because they love Freddy and
9:49
Speaker 2: all that, and the Dodger fans. So that was number
9:51
Speaker 2: one and two and thirty percent of the top twenty
9:57
Speaker 2: are Dodgers. If you go by the top sixteen, almost
10:00
Speaker 2: forty percent of the top sixteen players in terms of
10:03
Speaker 2: merchandise sales for their jersey are Dodger players. You've got Joeyotani,
10:08
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman, Moki bets is number four, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
10:14
Speaker 1: Who wasn't even all that good.
10:15
Speaker 2: Number ten, Clayton Kershaw, who doesn't have a Clayton Kershaw jersey.
10:20
Speaker 2: By now, I'm like, god, guy's been pitching for twenty years.
10:23
Speaker 2: Who doesn't have one? Well, he was number eleven and
10:27
Speaker 2: then the one that had many stunned. Key k Hernandez
10:33
Speaker 2: has the sixteenth most popular jersey in all of Major
10:36
Speaker 2: League Baseball. Yeah, that's a hum dinger of a name.
10:41
Speaker 2: That's a humdinger of a name. So explain, please, in
10:44
Speaker 2: Layman's terms, why a two twenty nine hitting utility player
10:50
Speaker 2: named Key k Hernandez was the sixteenth most popular person
10:55
Speaker 2: in baseball according to jersey sales. So the first I
11:00
Speaker 2: have on this is, obviously, regular season stats don't matter.
11:03
Speaker 2: The fact that you're a backup doesn't matter. That doesn't matter.
11:07
Speaker 2: But Ki k had a couple things going for him.
11:10
Speaker 2: The first thing he had going for him is he
11:14
Speaker 2: is not lacking the clutch gene. He batted almost three
11:17
Speaker 2: hundred in the playoffs, had a couple of Dingers in
11:19
Speaker 2: the World Series for the Dodgers, he won the popular vote.
11:24
Speaker 2: He's got this quirky personality. I remember when he first
11:27
Speaker 2: got to the Dodgers, some of the people were rubbed
11:29
Speaker 2: the wrong way by Key k Aarnan. This guy's kind
11:31
Speaker 2: of a clown, but he's stuck around. Clearly some of
11:34
Speaker 2: the Nerds like Key k Hernandez. He's popular with the
11:37
Speaker 2: Dorks in the Dodger organization, and he obviously appeals to
11:41
Speaker 2: the masses. The other thing Kik has going for him
11:44
Speaker 2: is his surname. If you go by the most common
11:50
Speaker 2: surnames in the United States, now Smith is number one,
11:56
Speaker 2: at the very top. More people in America with the
11:59
Speaker 2: last name Smith with any other name, but Hernandez is
12:03
Speaker 2: number eleven. It is the eleventh most common surname in
12:08
Speaker 2: the United States. So you've got a lot of people
12:10
Speaker 2: that have that last name. And you also have the
12:13
Speaker 2: Dodgers who dominate in the Latino community. They are kings
12:19
Speaker 2: of the hill in that department. Now, you know it
12:21
Speaker 2: should be upset. Here is Tioscar Hernandez because he's the
12:23
Speaker 2: good Hernandez. Ti Oscar Hernandez. Right, that guy. He's also
12:26
Speaker 2: got the last name Hernandez, but he does not have
12:29
Speaker 2: a top twenty selling jersey in all of baseball.
12:32
Speaker 1: It's Kiki Arenez. You gotta annoyed by that.
12:34
Speaker 2: All right, Now, final thought, we're gonna quickly go quick, right, quick, right,
12:38
Speaker 2: We're gonna go to the NBA story that it happened recently,
12:42
Speaker 2: and I haven't really delved into it.
12:44
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting. It would have been a bigger
12:46
Speaker 1: story had it been in New York or LA or
12:48
Speaker 1: you know, big market team.
12:50
Speaker 2: It's not, but I still think it's worthy of a
12:51
Speaker 2: couple of minutes of your time. And the basketball team
12:55
Speaker 2: known as the Grizzlies, because when I go to Memphis,
12:58
Speaker 2: I always see a lot of grit Bears in Memphis.
13:02
Speaker 2: So the Grizzlies recently excommunicated their head coach. They said
13:06
Speaker 2: bye bye, and there's been a lot of buzz that
13:09
Speaker 2: this was an inside job, that the star of the
13:13
Speaker 2: team made some phone calls, made some connections, and next
13:20
Speaker 2: thing you know, the coach is gone. Because normally you
13:22
Speaker 2: don't get rid of a coach with less than ten
13:24
Speaker 2: games to go in the regular season, which is what
13:27
Speaker 2: Memphis did here. So question, did Jaw Morant, the gun
13:33
Speaker 2: Totin Strip club going Memphis star did Jaw Morant play
13:39
Speaker 2: a role in the firing of Taylor Jenkins as the
13:44
Speaker 2: head coach there? And based on an overwhelming amount of
13:49
Speaker 2: circumstantial evidence, I am nodding my head.
13:51
Speaker 1: Yes.
13:52
Speaker 2: My opinion is yes that the JAB played a role
13:55
Speaker 2: in this. And while technically there is no actual direct evidence,
14:01
Speaker 2: there's a lot of circumstantial evidence that there was some
14:05
Speaker 2: star player involvement, that this was a.
14:10
Speaker 1: Power move, power play, power play, power play.
14:14
Speaker 2: By Ja Morant. And let me give you my elevator pitch.
14:17
Speaker 2: I will go over the evidence. I am the prosecutor.
14:19
Speaker 2: I will go over the evidence as I have attained it.
14:22
Speaker 2: So you have Jah Morant who publicly was at loggerheads
14:28
Speaker 2: with Taylor Jenkins, the coach.
14:30
Speaker 1: Now I don't sit here in obsess with the Grizzlies.
14:33
Speaker 1: Why would I. It's broadcasting, not narrow casting.
14:36
Speaker 2: However, I did a little digging and started snooping around,
14:40
Speaker 2: and it's pretty public knowledge that he was frustrated with
14:45
Speaker 2: the offense the Grizzlies were running this year. That was implemented,
14:49
Speaker 2: but it was supposedly by the front office. They put
14:51
Speaker 2: it in there, and John Morant had been marginalized. He
14:55
Speaker 2: was not handling the ball enough to his taste, and
14:58
Speaker 2: the pick and roll plays, things that were central to
15:02
Speaker 2: his playing style had been downgraded, and so he was
15:06
Speaker 2: annoyed by that, and he had sparred with the head coach.
15:10
Speaker 2: He's the headliner. John Morant's the face of the franchise,
15:14
Speaker 2: and so he complained. He complained about the system that
15:19
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies were running, even though they had a pretty
15:20
Speaker 2: good record, and the people around the team said he
15:23
Speaker 2: was disengaged. So your star players disengaged, doesn't like the
15:26
Speaker 2: offense the front office. You make the call, you're gonna
15:30
Speaker 2: fire yourself, or you're gonna blame the coach and fire
15:33
Speaker 2: the coach. There was obviously some tension there. Now some
15:36
Speaker 2: reports say that Taylor Jenkins was just following orders, that's
15:40
Speaker 2: all he was doing there. And then he actually, at
15:43
Speaker 2: the very last minute before he got fired, he tried
15:45
Speaker 2: to pacify John Morant by bringing back some of the
15:49
Speaker 2: old plays that Jah wanted. But in that business, if
15:52
Speaker 2: the franchise player is not happy, and he's the one
15:57
Speaker 2: that's got the suitcase with the nuclear codes and can go.
16:01
Speaker 1: Kaboom and get rid of the coach.
16:03
Speaker 2: So either Ja Morant got Taylor Jenkins fired or Taylor
16:08
Speaker 2: Jenkins was fired to send a message to Jahn Morant.
16:11
Speaker 2: If that was the case, then watch out. Then Jahn
16:16
Speaker 2: Morant's going to be traded this summer. So it's either
16:19
Speaker 2: Ja Morant got the coach fired or or the opposite
16:23
Speaker 2: that the team was trying to send a message to him,
16:25
Speaker 2: and therefore he's next to go. All right, It is
16:27
Speaker 2: the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to comment on

Speaker 1: the NBA. Clippers are on a burner right now. There
18:40
Speaker 1: is no such thing as momentum.
18:42

18:48
Speaker 2: Clippers in the NBA Finals.
18:50

23:08
Speaker 2: and those great pharmacies in Tijuana.
23:10

27:06
Speaker 1: there's nothing on him? Whangerous, OKAY i take the other.
27:10
Speaker 1: SIDE i believe there might be more to the. STORY
