Trade szn w/Robert Murray: Sizing up each team by division · Foul Territory

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Fan sided NFT insider Robert Murray with us right now.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Great to talk and we'll be talking a lot leading
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: up to the trade deadline. Robert, I'll take a different
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: approach today. Instead of teams, let's do divisions. So let's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: start with the American League East. Just size up what
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you see going on there and how it can relate
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to the trade deadline.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a bunch of different things that are going
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: on in the AL East right now. The Yankees, you
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: have the Rays, and then everybody else is really just
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: kind of hanging out there, lurking in the weeds, I
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: would say, and specifically with the Rays. They're a team
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that are doing extremely well this season. I could see
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: them ended up trying to make a big move of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the deadline. They've tried in the past for Shoeotani, as
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Ken Rosenthal ended up reporting. They tried for Freddie Freeman.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: They tried very hard when he was a free agent,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: did not get him. And if they could get a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: guy like or Trek's Schooble, or if they can get
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a back, I think that would make a ton of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: sense there. See the Yankees there forty eight and thirty eight.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I agree exactly with what Pratzy said beforehand, like school
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: has been connected to them, But I don't know if
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that's necessarily the thing that they go out and do.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: There's a few different things that they can go out,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: but I'm not necessarily sure if they go out and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: make that massive move. The Boston Red Sox to me
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: are the most interesting team in that division right now
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: because they're surging. They look a lot better than they
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: did initially, and their pitching is very good. But they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in a position now where they're on the fence between
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: buying and selling. There's obviously a lot of time between
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: now and the deadline, but they can take advantage of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: this market like a Wilson Contreras type or a Sunny
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Gray type or role as Chapman.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: They can get a bunch.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: In return for those guys, and they can end up
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: adding pieces who are close to major League ready, if
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: not major League ready, if those opportunities present themselves, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they will so. If I'm the Red Sox
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: at this point, I probably lean towards selling rather than buying.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people think that they should buy,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: but they should take advantage of this market because they
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: might get more value and one would expect. But also
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays too, They're going to be very aggressive
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: on the pitching front. I would expect possibly a frontline
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: starter to be something that they end up exploring. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in the Orioles too, they want to buy, they don't
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: want to sell.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Ad the Ritchman.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he's gonna be getting plenty of calls, plenty
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of teams drawing interests there, but I cannot see him
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: being moved at all. And it seems like the Oriols
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: just have no no eagerness to even move him or
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: even listen on him at all.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Right, well, you're talking about the Red Sox. I'm gonna
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: hit the Red Sox first. The reason they should move
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: people is because they stink in a stinky American league West.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: But which of those three that you mentioned, because I
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: love the names Jared Duran or Aldus Chapman and Wilson Contrires,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: which one do you feel like is the most unusual
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: fit as far as like what the league like? Wow,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: that the most valuable fit, I should say that piece
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: going to another team.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think teams would love to get Jared Duran
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: from them and the Red Sox have gotten a ton
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of interest in the past. The Potters have been one
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of them, There's been a bunch of other teams, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: he's he's been extremely productive at the major league level,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: but this season hasn't necessarily been the same numbers as
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in years past, and the Red Sox have put such
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a high value on him and other teams have not
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: been willing to meet it. So I have a hard
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: time seeing him end up getting that offer that would
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: attract the Red Sox to actually pull the trigger on
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a move like that. I think a Wilson contrerorist type
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: makes a ton of sense here for other teams. He's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a great first base and he's had a really nice
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: season so far. And you look at the Houston Astros specifically,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: they have Christian Walker, they have some of those pieces there,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: but they're still continuing to linger in the in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: American League West, also just in the playoff race as
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: a whole, and they might be inclined to hold on
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to those guys and that could end up really allowing
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox to corner the market. As far as
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a guy that contrerass goes, so, I think he absolutely
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: makes a ton of sense he might be the most
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: valuable guy who can end up getting or who actually
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: has a realistic chance of being traded. Then a rold
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: As Chapman too. Like he is, he's awesome, like he's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: been a dependable for years, can pitch in like the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: late innings at a very high level. I think he's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: got a ton of like a ton of attraction around
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the league. I firmly expect him the Red Sox, dude
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: decide to sell, to be traded, and he's gonna have
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: no shortage of interested teams. And you can look at
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the Mariners, you can look at I mean, basically every
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: contending team is probably going to be in the mix there.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: So the Red Sox and Craig Breslow specifically have a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: chance to really take advantage of this thing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Here is there a fear that Chappie may not be
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: successful as an eighth inning guy for teams because when
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: he gets traded, he becomes the closer. I know it
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: didn't quite work that way in Texas when he got
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: traded and won the World Series, but essentially his value
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: is closing and he's getting up there in age, so
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: that routine is there fear that they meant that a
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: team may not need hit or not want him because
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: he's only a closer.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I mean it's I think it's possible for sure, but
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: also he's just so good, so dominant that I think
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: any team would be eager to add him, And we've
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: seen it now with the Atlanta Braves where they've had
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: riisell Iglesias. Then you have Suarez there as well, so
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the dynamic can work. But also, like if you're acquiring
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: an oldest chapman, I think ideally you'd want him or
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you want him as your closer. I think you'd acquire
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: him to be your closer because the asking price and
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the eventual price to get him out of Boston is
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: just going to be It's not going to be cheap
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: by any means, and the fact that he could end
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: up being controllable through next season also added to that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: expense as well. So I still firmly believe that a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: team is going to acquire him to be their closer.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: But I could also see that other teams possibly being
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: in the mixed Adham to the eighthinging, So I don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: think necessarily there's any scare or like there's any worry there.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: But he's just a super dependable and super high commodity
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: was going to draw a ton of interest.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Here a sea Geek is MLB's official ticket marketplace, and

  Speaker 6: Thank you to see geek.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: I remember being a rookie in twenty sixteen NLCS watching
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: eeraldis Chapman basically carry them to a World Series And
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: here I am and he's still out there doing what
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: he does. Robert, It's pretty dang impressive question, man. Is
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: you see like sometimes these headlines were someone there, they
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: might be a buyer and a seller at the deadline,
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: and the Red Sox are kind of in that vein,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: maybe the Padres, maybe the Cardinals to an extent, Is
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: that actually a successful endeavor? Is there a team that
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: you can point to that has done that well or
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: maybe a team that this deadline is actually going to
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: buy and sell at the same time.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: No, that's a really good question. The team that I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: automatically think of is the Tampa Bay Rays. It seems
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: like they're always a team that has their hands in
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: both buying and selling. They did so last year, they've
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: done so in the past, and they've done it at
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: relatively a high level. And they're a team that I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: think other teams would love to try to mimic. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: as far as the who can end up trying to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: mimic that this this year. That's a really interesting question.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I could see you wonder if the Ashros can end
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: up doing something like that because, as I mentioned before,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: they have Perettis, they have Christian Walker. Could a team
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: try to pry Josh Hater out of Houston? Like in
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the offseason they were trying to get rid of some
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: of their salary and both are all those guys listed there,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Especially a guy like Hater has a very high salary,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: so you wonder could they listen on him and try
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to maybe use that money saved to upgrade a different
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: part of the roster. Like I have not heard that
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: on my end, but it's something that I've definitely considered
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: here for sure. The San Diego Padres late last year
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: they were adding like crazy, and all of a sudden,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: late at the deadline, we were hearing about Dylan Ce's
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: possibly being moved to either what was it, Houston or
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Texas or one of those teams. Obviously it didn't end
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: up happening, But Aj Preller always considers different things. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: is the most aggressive GM and ball. I don't think
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: it's close at this point unless you're Jerry Depoto, But
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it's like I could see him trying to consider something
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: like that. But this is the kind of year where
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: so many teams are bunched up and in the mix
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: here that we can end up seeing some definitely consider that,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: even teams that we're not considering right now. It's just
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it's a totally bizarre season. Like I asked Tom Verducci
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: about this in my podcast yesterday, like if he's ever
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: seen an American league like this where it's just so
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: bunched up and relatively mediocre, and he said he can't
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: remember a year like this, and honestly neither can I.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: All Right, well, then that's good to the media al
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: central because there's a lot of teams bunched up there
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: that when you have the Tigers in last believing that
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: they can be in first, who is really who is
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: fool's gold in that division? As far as we're not
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: gonna go and get anybody, but they should go get somebody,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And who is lying to themselves saying we're gonna go
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: get everybody?
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: It's like you're not that good.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The team that I'm absolutely buying is the Chicago
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: White Sox. Like they are, They're a blast. I wish
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I wish AJ was here too, because it seems like
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I praise all the teams that or I like, I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: praise a bunch of different teams, and now I'm fine
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: of praising one of AJ's teams. So like that's the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: White Sox are a blast and I can absolutely see
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: them going out and adding an impact starting pitcher if
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: they can. Who's controllable and I think they were Controllable
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: is the word to watch there, And if if the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: White Sox could have it their way, I think a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: read Detvers type makes a ton of sense for them,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Like he's controllable, he can start a playoff game if
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you need him to, and he's someone you can build
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: around in that rotation. And with the Angels making a
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: move there at GM, maybe that becomes more possible.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: The prime amount of Anheim.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Who knows the Guardians are always lingering, but I have
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a hard time seeing them make it a big splash.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It seems like they never really do something like that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: They've already made one trade for Patrick Bailey. I don't
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: know if it's good to be in anything more sizable
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: after that. But we've seen the Royals come out and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: say that they're not wanting to spend or they're not
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: wanting to sell at this point, I should say, And
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I got to imagine with how their season is gone,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: selling has to be a really enticing option for them
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: because you have Michael Waka, you have Seth Lugo in
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: a pitching market where there's gonna be a bunch of
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: contending teams who are looking for a guy who can
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: start a playoff game.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Both of those really stand out.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: So I think this should be in a position where
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: they realize where they're at this year and sell and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: try to take advantage and selling relatively high on both
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: of those assets.
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll just ask you straight to your face here, Robert,
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: because Michael Waka was my college roommate at Texas A
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: and m Where's where do you think he's going? Because
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: I just I'm so proud of him, man, Like, talk
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: about a guy that like came out hot NLCSMVP as
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: a rookie and then you know, it's kind of like
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: I think at one point was on like seventeens and
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: seven years and now really has made a name for
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: himself here in Kansas City and he's got like two
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: little kids and he loves.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: It there and I know a trade just rocks your world.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: But you know, he he could go to a lot
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: of teams that I think would really really appreciate him.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: He's not a big splash, he's not a Terek school Ball,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: but he's been a really good starting pitcher here for
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: a couple of years.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Man, you got a a gut instinct of where he
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: might land. Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I asked somebody that same question yesterday and he was like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I would look at teams who are not looking for
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the school type, or are not looking at like the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Freddie Peralta type, where I mean it would probably think
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: not the Dodgers, maybe not the Brewers, or like teams
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: that we've been hearing linked to schoobl I think are
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: going to be in the market for a guy like
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Michael Walker. I think he's going to be incredibly coveted
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: at the deadline. He's like, not the most flashy guy
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: by any means, but he's just dependable. He's a veteran
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and he's just really good at base play. He's really
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: good at pitching. And if you can end up adding him,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I believe he's controllable through next season, which also adds
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: to the intrigue there as well. Like if you're a
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: contending team and you have a chance to add Michael Waka,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: who probably I can't imagine is going to result, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you break in the bank as far as prospects go,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I would try to take advantage of that opportunity. So
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Michael Waka, he may not be getting like the same
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: love as as a school boy or a Parraltz or
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Joe Ryan or anything like that, but he can absolutely
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: make a difference. And I think we're god be hearing
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: about his name plenty come deadline season here.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: All right, the muddled West, which I mean it's American League,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: like every team stinks in the American League or they're
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: all just close together, whatever it is, is the biggest
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: move the fact that Perriman Asian's out and possibly a
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: new GM and John Mozeylak is in that isn't afraid
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: to make moves for and worry about what Ardie Moreno thinks.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think that just totally may have changed things
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: here for the Angels. Like that really caught me off
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: guard because like I didn't expect Perry to be to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: be back there next season, but I expected him to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: at least play out the entire season here before he
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: was let go, and then also when Curtsuzuki's contract with
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: them expires, And this to me changes a lot because
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: John Mozelak has been much more aggressive on the trade
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: market than Perry has in years past. And now you
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: have an opportunity where you have a Redetmers type, you
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: have a Joe Adella type, like you have really nice
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: pieces there, and you can actually get a rebuild started
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: here in Anaheim. And if re Detmers is going to
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: be like very very like asked about from other teams,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: like he's got a ton of fans across baseball, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: maintain that he's still the most asked ball player that
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I have had from other teams. I expect him to
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: be drawn a ton of interest here. And Mozaillak has
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: proven that he's not afraid of moving on from pieces
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: in the past, like he's done big things in Saint Louis.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And if you can do something like that, maybe you
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: can actually finally get that big rebuild started here that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the Angels have needed for years upon years here. And
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I thought it was extremely interesting too that Ken Rosenthal
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: interviewed with John Mozelac after he was hired there, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: he said that during the interview process that he never
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: talked to Artie Marina. We all know that Artie Moreno
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: likes to meddle, He likes to be involved, he likes
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to like voice his opinion there. And I wonder maybe
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: with Mozaillaic, there is it possible that Arti Moreno doesn't
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: metal and allows him to do his thing. I don't know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: like Artie's as unpredictable as they come. But if he
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: lets John Moseellac do his job, then I think we
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: can actually see the angels start to rebuild. But I
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: do not expect a microt trade to happen. I'd be
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: very very surprised about that.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: People dehydration sucks, quints, electrolyte stick packs to the rescue.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: I order them, I use them all of the.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Time, somebody who may or may not have had some
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: adult beverages in their life. The next day, you know
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: what flavor, I like watermelon, and I don't like watermelon.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: I'll go raspberry and it helps me to get my
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: citrus salt in. But if I do, it helps me
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: to get bet back to normal, feeling good and ready
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: to go.

  Speaker 4: Robert, I'm going to deserve This is a question, a comment,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: or an opinion. But the A's are in the West.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: The A's are three games back right now. I think
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: it's three games back on the wild card. They have
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: a tough time finding stars. Is there a chance the
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: trade deadline is the way that they go out and
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: find a star that they can make a move that
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: you know what, We're never gonna be able to lowreer
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: any buddy to Sacramento in the offseason, so we do
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: it at the trade deadline.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I think they absolutely should consider, and this is something
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: that I had a rival executive at PIN is that
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: they should end up trying to get Matt Chapman back
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: at the deadline where he's the the A's hero. He's
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the guy that came up with the organization. That organization
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: is super familiar with him. Obviously they're not still in Oakland,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: but he's got deep ties to the organization, and the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Giants seem like they're going to be in a position
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: where they listen on all these all these star players
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: that they have, and Chapman would be a great fit.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: And I think of the three stars that they have
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco, that Chapman has the most realistic chance
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: of being moved. And if you can end up getting
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: him back to Oakland, or let's say he goes to
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a team like Philadelphia, where I think that'd be a
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: really good fit. I think either one would be a
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: really cool story. But getting him back in Oakland, getting
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: that star player back and adding to that young core
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: that they have and trying to maximize these postseason chances
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: would be a really cool thing because they were super
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: aggressive in the offseason and extending these young guys. They
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: tried for Nick Kurtz did not end up getting that
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: thing done, but they got a bunch of that young
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: core signed, and if you had chat into it, that
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: would just be I think icing on the cake and
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: a really good thing for ACE fans to be excited about,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and especially for the fans there in Vegas and further
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: draw fan attraction there for sure.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: All right, So moving out of the mediocre al let's
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: go to the cream of the crop in the NL.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: Milwaukee.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Robert, we've heard you say that you think this is
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: the time to make a big move. We know they
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: tried last year to no avail, But is this the
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: year they do it?
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: You think so? Man, run us through what happens.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Boy, this should be the year because last year they
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: tracked for Gino Suarez like it was not for a
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: lack of effort that they didn't get him. And this
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: year they still need a power hitter in that ladut
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: like they lack slug and I think that's something that
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: could be.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: An issue come postseason time.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: But if I'm the Brewers I see this opportunity that
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: we have where you have Jacob Mazerowski who looks otherworldly,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: you have Kyle Harrison who looks great. Brandon Woodruff is
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: back healthy and he's looked very good so far. If
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: you can add a Trek Schooble type, I think that
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: would be incredible, and that would end up putting them
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: in a position where they can not only compete with
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, but they could legit beat the Dodgers, like
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: they would have a chance to really just be a
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: postseason matchup nightmare, because if you have to face those
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: three guys consistently in a postseason series like that, just
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: that does not sound fun at all. And they have
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: this ability where they can put the ball and play
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: on offense. They steal bases, they're super aggressive on the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: base paths. If you can end up adding Schooble, they
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: could end up making them the World Series favorites. Again,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: they need to add another bat, So like it should
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: if they get Schooble, this should like it shouldn't like.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Hold them back from adding another bat.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: But this feels like the year where they need to
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: put their chips in, like add or take away some
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: pieces from that top ranked farm system in baseball and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: go for it because this year it's super winnable, Like
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: there's no teams that are running away with it in
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the American League. You look at the Nationalague, obviously the
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Dodgers that get to be there in the end. The
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Phillies look much better than they did at the start
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: of the year. The Braves kind of fallen back. Why
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: they're still leading that division. It's very winnable, and I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: think Milwaukee mark out the nasio, should put the chips
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: in the middle and try to get this thing done.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we got to hope Ashby gets into the All
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Star Game. Man, that guy's gonna finish the year with
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: twenty five wins or something that'd be that'd be incredible.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: How about moving over to the NL East a little bit, uh,
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: you know, Philly obviously Surgeon coming up for the Braves.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: Two teams that we expect to make moves. But the
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: one that everyone's asking about there is Miami and Sandy
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: And what are they gonna do? Having an unbelievable June
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: or had an unbelievable June and now they find themselves
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: in this position kind of what I mentioned earlier.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Should we buy, Should we sell? Should we do a
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: little bit of both?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: You know, what do you see from Miami? And do
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: you think they're gonna move someone like Sandy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I would be really surprised if they move Sandy all Contra.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: This to me feels like the time and based on
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: what I've heard is they would like to they would
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: like to buy, and if they can go out and
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: buy and add to this core and keep Sandy a Contra,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you're talking about a team that surgeon right now, they
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: could legitimately have a chance of getting like like hosting
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: a playoff game, like it's or like it's just it's
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: really exciting what's going on here in Miami. And we've
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: talked about them for years possibly selling Sanduel Contra, moving
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: some of these young pieces or veteran pieces.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: I should say, but this feels like the kind.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Of year where you like, hold firm, you buy if
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the opportunities there. I don't know if it's necessarily going
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: to be a big splash by any means if they
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: do add, but I love what they're building. I think
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Peter Bendix and CLAYT. McCullough have done a lovely job there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I think that team is just really looks like a
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: different team compared to years pass and this feels sustainable.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: So if I'm the Marlins, I hold on to my pieces,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I add to this thing, and not only this year,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: but in years forward. You try to compete, because now
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: feels like the time for the Miami Marlins to keep
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: this thing together and try to compete.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Is there a bigger ticking time bomb than Dave Dombrowski,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: an aging roster and his aggressiveness that we could see
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: a massive Philly because you had already said you said
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Preller and Depoto, and Dave Dombroski was.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Like, does Robert not know who I am?
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Like, it's David, You're gonna call him.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a huge oversight, but I can't believe
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I left out Dave Dombroska. We all know Dave Dombroski
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: like deadline seasons his time to shine, and he has
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: not been afraid of making big moves in the past.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Obviously you look at his history, He's made big moves
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: as far as.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: The pitching side goes.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: But I think this could be the year where they
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: try to go out and add a bat, like they're
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: gonna be looking for a starting Pitcher. Don't get me wrong,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: but I think Matt Chapman is a great fit there.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: And obviously you have Alec Bohm there, but he's a
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: frigent at the end of the year, and if you
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: acquire a guy like Chapman, you can end up having
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: a guy.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Who's there for the foreseeable future.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It ends up adding another star player or really high
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: level player to that roster. It increases their chances of
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: winning now and maximizing the time when you have Bryce Harper,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: when you have Trey Turner, Kyle Schwarber, all these guys
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: before they get too far along in their careers here.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: So I think he would make a ton of sense.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: But I think this could end up being the time
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: where I think Dombroski tries.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: To make a big move.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And if it's not a Chapman type, the guy that
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: other teams think would be a great fit in Philly
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: would be Taylor Ward. I don't know if Baltimore is
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: gonna be in a position where they want to sell,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: but if you can add a guy like Taylor Ward
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to that team, that could end up just really enhancing
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: their postseason chances here because he does not have the
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: same power year this year as he has in years past.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: But it's in there for sure. You get in with
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Kevin Long and maybe you can end up getting that
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: power hitter back and adding that to that lineup.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, like that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Would be not only in that division, but that would
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: be a nightmare scenario I think for a bunch of
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: different teams in the National League.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good call.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like they've all but said this outfield, don't
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: get used to it. It's going to look different after
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline. And then man, if they have Chapman
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and Duran eight nine, that's all that's special. Yeah, that's
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: saying something. Robert Good catching up man, And also just
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: want to remind everyone Baseball Insiders, Robert Show is roaring
