• 0:00
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take where we talk
• 0:04
  all things Major League Baseball.
• 0:06
  Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
• 0:10
  It all starts right now. Welcome back to the Three O Take
• 0:16
  presentivize, see kick. This is episode 454.
• 0:19
  I'll be your host, Kyle Cord. I'm here with my Co host Nate
• 0:21
  Reyes. Nate.
• 0:27
  Just a little old trade deadline check in episode trade talk.
• 0:34
  I think the you you think the big stuff has happened or the
• 0:38
  big stuff is still yet to come. I think it's yet Yeah, yeah,
• 0:42
  come. I would agree.
• 0:43
  I concur. How?
• 0:45
  This is nice. This is like a, this is like a
• 0:47
  housekeeping kind of episode, I think.
• 0:50
  I'm, I'll be honest with you, I'm kind of a fan of of the
• 0:54
  moves that have taken place so far.
• 0:55
  Like it's not the, it's maybe not the greatest pre trade, pre
• 1:00
  trade deadline we've ever seen, but I mean, we've certainly seen
• 1:03
  worse. Like we have been, like there
• 1:06
  have been years where it's been the last minute and we're going
• 1:11
  anything going to happen this year or we're just going to
• 1:13
  carry on with our lives. But I there have been some names
• 1:16
  that have been shuffled around and I am here for it.
• 1:20
  As am I, as am I. Good stuff.
• 1:24
  How would you give me one word to describe this trade deadline
• 1:29
  thus far? One.
• 1:36
  Just one word. Just one word.
• 1:39
  Think through this carefully. Now you only get one.
• 1:41
  Can't change it. Sneaky.
• 1:48
  Sneaky. OK, I like it.
• 1:50
  I would. I would concur.
• 1:52
  I would concur. I think there's some sneaky,
• 1:56
  there's some sneaky good moves that have occurred.
• 2:00
  Hey, Speaking of Sneaky, shout out to Randy or Rose Arena.
• 2:07
  Just slide sliding in as a fan before he before he catches his
• 2:12
  flight. I was I was a big big fan of
• 2:16
  that. That was really cool.
• 2:17
  Big fan of that. With his with his wife.
• 2:20
  I think it's his wife. Like sitting.
• 2:21
  Crying. Yeah, girlfriend.
• 2:23
  Fans, fans coming up like that. That was cool, man.
• 2:27
  I, I've never, I don't think I've ever seen anything like
• 2:30
  that. I think the, the only thing I
• 2:33
  can remember seeing like a current player, like arguably in
• 2:37
  their prime as a fan, like I remember when Tulo went to
• 2:42
  Yankee Stadium to catch Jeter in one of his last, like, I think
• 2:46
  it was Jeter's last season. And I thought that was pretty
• 2:48
  cool. It's rare, but like to be and to
• 2:53
  sit left field, like to go sit in that section, the section
• 2:57
  you're always waving down, the section you're always giving
• 3:00
  love to like that was I'm I'm I'm impressed.
• 3:06
  Yeah, you know, I feel like Randy gets a lot of hate, but
• 3:09
  I'm sitting there watching just. Plays loud, but not in a bad way
• 3:13
  most of the time, you know? Yeah, but I'm sitting there
• 3:16
  watching the clips of it and I go, you know, this seems and,
• 3:19
  and who we don't know the guy, but from from what we can tell,
• 3:23
  seems like a guy that's truly grateful for the the folks that
• 3:27
  show up support him, the folks that buy his jersey, the folks
• 3:30
  that like you mentioned, hang out there in left field just
• 3:34
  letting him know how much they appreciate him.
• 3:35
  It seemed like a very, very grateful man that was sitting
• 3:39
  there. He was able to he was talking
• 3:41
  with the fans and and dapping them up and doing autographs and
• 3:44
  taking pictures. And I'm like that, that, you
• 3:46
  know, say what you will about Randy Rose.
• 3:48
  Randy, that seems like a good dude right there.
• 3:50
  Yeah, that's cool. Like they think of like being a
• 3:54
  fan and just being like, oh, I'm just going to drop 14 bucks on a
• 3:58
  ticket today to go see someone else play left field and then
• 4:02
  next thing you know, Randy's sitting in front of you.
• 4:04
  Yeah, inner, inner Randy Rosa Raina Jersey.
• 4:06
  I'm just going to show up to the park in it.
• 4:08
  Oh, and by the way, Randy Rosa Raina just walked by that.
• 4:11
  That's pretty cool. But yeah, it, it made me think
• 4:14
  of the the World Baseball Classic when he, when we saw him
• 4:16
  and he was with Team Mexico. And if you remember, he was like
• 4:23
  signing boots and talking with the kids before the game.
• 4:27
  So the more he was signing. Stuff in the middle of the game.
• 4:30
  Yeah, so like, the more I think about it, the more we talk about
• 4:33
  it. Randy Rose Arena, that that's
• 4:36
  good, good dude. My books.
• 4:38
  But speaking to Randy Rose Arena, let's talk, Let's talk.
• 4:41
  Trade deadline here. Mariners acquire outfielder
• 4:44
  Randy Rose Arena from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for
• 4:50
  outfielder Aiden Smith, righty Brody Hopkins and a player to be
• 4:55
  named later. This was, I guess we could say
• 5:02
  this was the start of the, the, the moves for the Mariners.
• 5:05
  This was Friday. Yeah, this was Friday, the Randy
• 5:10
  trade. We've had some people reach out
• 5:15
  to us be like, yo, the the Mariners kind of going for it.
• 5:19
  And this was after I think maybe like a second or third move that
• 5:22
  they had made. But, you know, we were wondering
• 5:26
  if the, if the what the Mariners were going to do.
• 5:28
  There was obvious holes, there was obvious things they needed
• 5:30
  to address. They go out and get a guy like
• 5:33
  Randy Rosarena, say what you will about his year to this
• 5:35
  point, I, I'm a fan of the acquisition.
• 5:38
  I I would have liked any, I would have liked any team that
• 5:42
  would have gotten him like I, I think he would have been an
• 5:44
  improvement to any organization that he ends up with.
• 5:50
  But for the Mariners, though, I think they're still they, they
• 5:56
  need more. There's still more.
• 5:57
  You need to do more. First base needs to be solved
• 6:00
  100% need to need to address that.
• 6:05
  And and what's tough is that like you, you have, there's a
• 6:09
  few teams that need help at first base.
• 6:13
  Two of those teams I can think of right now.
• 6:17
  Like it, if you are the Mariners, this isn't, you're
• 6:20
  not, you don't have the luxury of being able to just throw
• 6:25
  something together and hope you squeak by because you, you don't
• 6:28
  have any sort of history or track record that gives you any
• 6:32
  confidence to think that. Well, if we just, if we just
• 6:35
  scrum together some some dudes and just roll them out there,
• 6:39
  we'll be all right. We'll be all right.
• 6:40
  No, like you're, you're having to fight off the Astros and the
• 6:45
  Ranger. Who knows what the Rangers are
• 6:47
  going to do? They're they're still kind of in
• 6:49
  the mix. Don't know if they're going to
• 6:50
  sell, I think. Didn't they get swept this
• 6:53
  weekend? I think I saw.
• 6:55
  They've lost three straight, they're five and five in the
• 6:57
  rest. Yeah.
• 6:58
  So either way, you could argue that they're they're there and
• 7:02
  they're worthy of being fought off, I guess you could say.
• 7:05
  So if you're the Mariners, you're going to need to go above
• 7:07
  and beyond if you want to improve your chances of doing
• 7:11
  anything down the stretch. Because as it stands right now,
• 7:14
  moves you've made thus far pretty good, but there's much
• 7:18
  more work to be done in Seattle. Yeah, I'm, I'm curious where
• 7:21
  they go because I'm kind of looking around the league and
• 7:27
  it's interesting. It's interesting because I mean
• 7:31
  like first base is, is not exactly super deep as far as
• 7:37
  opportunities out there for guys that you can trade for.
• 7:41
  I didn't see Miami just released Josh Bell who wasn't even.
• 7:46
  Put him really put him on waivers.
• 7:48
  Yeah, waivers, but it like in reality wasn't even really
• 7:51
  playing that bad like I I think it was like a mid sevens OPS
• 7:57
  right, like nothing crazy. So maybe something there I don't
• 8:04
  know. I did hear a quick we'll get
• 8:07
  into this here in a minute. I did hear a quick like possible
• 8:11
  rumor about Cody Bellinger like that.
• 8:14
  Really. I've not heard that.
• 8:16
  There was a check in with the Yankees, but based on what the
• 8:20
  Cubs have done, it makes me wonder if that was fake.
• 8:24
  Well, I did see that the Yankees apparently checked in on a Blake
• 8:28
  Snell as well, so I don't know what a bunch of other teams
• 8:31
  don't know. I don't know how valid these
• 8:33
  these check insurance are. It's not real.
• 8:35
  So I I think you go for it. Go get Vlad.
• 8:40
  If you're Seattle, go just go get Vlad.
• 8:43
  Go make that happen. Yeah, and that that's the kind
• 8:47
  of move that I'm talking about. Vlad is not going to win you the
• 8:53
  World Series. We know this.
• 8:55
  But it does a lot to the clubhouse.
• 8:56
  It does a lot to the clubhouse and that's the type of move that
• 8:59
  I'm talking about when I say like go above and beyond, go go
• 9:05
  like overachieve surpass the expectations that your fans most
• 9:09
  likely have because there's probably your your fan base is
• 9:11
  probably going, yeah, we know we need to do things.
• 9:13
  We know things are hopefully going to continue to happen as
• 9:17
  we approach the deadline on Tuesday.
• 9:20
  But we just don't know if there's going to be that big
• 9:23
  splash a guy like you go get a guy like Vlad.
• 9:27
  That's that's what I'm talking about.
• 9:28
  That's going above and beyond. And that would do like just like
• 9:31
  you mentioned, do wonders for morale.
• 9:33
  Reinvigorates right, it it just kind of adds the juice and it
• 9:37
  gives we've heard it all the time.
• 9:40
  Current former players talk about like there's it says
• 9:43
  something when your front office believes in you and double S
• 9:47
  down and like you know, says let's get it it it who knows
• 9:52
  what that could ignite. So that's what I I'd like to see
• 9:56
  the Mariners do that. Just show me that you're not
• 9:59
  just coasting, you know? That brings up an interesting
• 10:04
  conversation too. Is the dynamic or the, the
• 10:10
  duality of the deadline where if your front office doesn't do
• 10:14
  anything, we hear it all the time about guy, the guys in the
• 10:17
  clubhouse going, all right, you don't believe in US front
• 10:20
  office, we're going to show you that we believe in ourselves.
• 10:24
  The, the, the opposite side of that coin is you've got the, the
• 10:28
  front office, like you mentioned saying, let's get it.
• 10:31
  We're going to fill out whatever holes we need to.
• 10:33
  We are going to make sure that for these last two months, call
• 10:36
  it that we are going to have the best opportunity that we can to
• 10:42
  run this thing as deep as we can.
• 10:45
  Both can work both routes get like we've seen, we've seen,
• 10:49
  we've seen clubhouses rally before when, when the front
• 10:51
  office just leaves them out in the cold.
• 10:53
  But we've also seen on the flip side where rosters get bolstered
• 10:57
  and they just they just steamroll for the next two
• 11:00
  months. I would venture to say if you
• 11:05
  had to put a percentage to it or or put a a favorite outcome to
• 11:09
  it, I would venture to say that the the latter works more often
• 11:13
  when the front office is like, hey, let's get it.
• 11:16
  This whole organization believes in you.
• 11:18
  Now let's roll so. I just think it like especially
• 11:23
  now, like we don't see teams like the late 90s, early 2000s
• 11:29
  putting where I don't think I can imagine seeing like a one
• 11:33
  15120 win team anytime soon. So I think it's like I think any
• 11:42
  of these teams can take a realistic look in the mirror and
• 11:45
  be like, yeah, like we we could use a little something here.
• 11:48
  We're we're lacking in this area.
• 11:50
  So it it almost validates the way you feel as a player.
• 11:54
  I think it validates that the the team is betting on you a
• 11:57
  little bit. So yeah, I would say I like the,
• 12:02
  I like the addition over believing that what we build at
• 12:07
  the beginning of the year is good enough.
• 12:11
  Running down the list of the race here, the Rays Ray's been
• 12:14
  rather active trading away. E Stock parade is for
• 12:18
  Christopher Morrell and to prospects.
• 12:26
  This was an interesting trade. This one threw me.
• 12:29
  This one, yeah, this one certainly threw me.
• 12:31
  I, we've, we've heard for the last, call it week and a half,
• 12:37
  two weeks regarding the Cubs, like we're kind of, we're
• 12:43
  unsure. We think we're leaning towards
• 12:46
  selling and then they go out and make a deal that doesn't exactly
• 12:53
  scream selling. Like, I don't know, it's, I
• 12:57
  don't know, like this wasn't exactly a move that I expected
• 13:00
  from the Cubs. I don't get it personally,
• 13:08
  unless there was something, unless there was some type of
• 13:11
  internal issue with morale, which is hard to believe because
• 13:15
  like he seems so oh he's on camera like super smiley.
• 13:20
  And what I can tell fans love him.
• 13:22
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, he was on, he was on hug
• 13:27
  watch. And you don't, you don't, you
• 13:29
  don't put a guy on hug watch if he's despised by the fan base.
• 13:33
  That's just true how that works. Both both 25.
• 13:41
  Both I looked up like career OPS are both like seven 70s.
• 13:52
  I think they're just very different styles of play.
• 13:55
  Like you definitely have this. No offense to parades but like
• 14:01
  doesn't scream peak athleticism to me.
• 14:04
  The guy hits and walks at a ridiculous rate.
• 14:08
  Parades is in a top ten percentile for walks.
• 14:12
  Doesn't strike out much either. But yeah, I don't it was like it
• 14:18
  was like a weird move to get like give up on them.
• 14:28
  And I don't know if this is the idea of like, hey, we want
• 14:30
  Bellinger to be full time center field and like do they commit
• 14:36
  with parades at first or third and then do like Patrick Wisdom
• 14:40
  at the other? Like I don't I'm just a little.
• 14:42
  It didn't seem like this was it's a lateral move I guess is
• 14:46
  what I'm trying to say. This seems like a lateral move.
• 14:49
  Yeah, that's the best. That's the best way to describe
• 14:51
  it, Yeah. Now, to be fair, if I'm if I'm a
• 14:53
  Rays fan, I feel super happy about this.
• 14:56
  I feel super happy about this. To get Morel who we've seen some
• 14:59
  upside like there's there's something there that we've seen
• 15:03
  flashes of it. And to also get a prospect like
• 15:08
  I think if if you're looking at because we saw alerts today that
• 15:12
  was like Dodgers Yankees bidding war for parades and you, you got
• 15:16
  to assume that was most likely having to do with prospects.
• 15:23
  So I don't know if there was any like big league ready guys.
• 15:25
  Not that the Rays are in a position or a need for a big
• 15:27
  league ready guy, but like I would be pretty happy with this.
• 15:31
  I think the Rays really cleaned up this weekend, but I'm just
• 15:35
  confused as to what the Cubs are doing.
• 15:37
  I'm not really understanding here.
• 15:41
  Well, Rays also shipped off Zach Eflin to the O's in exchange for
• 15:47
  infielder Mack Horvath, right-hander Jackson Baumeister,
• 15:55
  outfielder Matthew Etzel. Why can't?
• 15:58
  Why can't any? That's a tough group of names.
• 16:01
  What are we? Doing here, can we not just have
• 16:03
  like a a John John Johnson like? Smith add in a couple regulars.
• 16:11
  Steve Smith. No, we go on Mac Horvath,
• 16:13
  Jackson Baumeister and Matthew Etzel.
• 16:17
  Etz Wetzel's pretzels. Pretzels I like.
• 16:22
  This move a lot. I like this move a lot for the
• 16:25
  OS. I if this is it for.
• 16:29
  Them it can't be it we're had. This is deja vu for the Orioles.
• 16:33
  If this is the if this is the the arm splash that you make,
• 16:39
  this can't be. Yeah, I think this is an
• 16:41
  underrated name though. Certainly, but like again,
• 16:47
  we've, we've seen we, I just said it, this is Deja vu.
• 16:50
  We've we've seen this story play out already.
• 16:53
  They, they don't make quite the splash that you want them to at
• 16:56
  the deadline and then they just kind of fizzle out once October
• 16:59
  hits. And I think you're going to need
• 17:02
  their they, I would argue the Orioles need a a morale boost
• 17:06
  more than any team in baseball right now.
• 17:08
  Like they, they have been scuffling, they have been
• 17:11
  scuffling and they're the, the fans are eating themselves alive
• 17:15
  right now talking about what do we, what do we do about Craig
• 17:18
  Kimbrel? Like send this guy to the moon.
• 17:21
  And then you got our, our good friend Ryan Ripken.
• 17:25
  The O's will be fine. And so there's really two camps
• 17:27
  right now. And I get it.
• 17:28
  That's, that's often the case with most fan bases.
• 17:31
  Like the season's over or hey, the sun's coming out tomorrow.
• 17:35
  It's one or the other, yeah, But the OS have been scuffing a
• 17:38
  little bit. I I think they pulled out a win
• 17:40
  today against the Padres, but generally speaking as of late
• 17:44
  have not been playing well. Still dropped two out of three,
• 17:46
  right? I believe so.
• 17:49
  You're going to need, you're going to need something more
• 17:52
  than this. I don't.
• 17:54
  Know if it's a three-game set, whatever, yeah, I mean, I I get
• 17:58
  that, I get that. I I'm not disagreeing.
• 18:02
  I think yes, this is a disappointing thing if this is
• 18:05
  the only move you're doing. To your point, underrated.
• 18:07
  Move, I think it's underrated. It's a name that was up for
• 18:10
  grabs. Obviously look at what the Rays
• 18:12
  are doing. Like this was a name that was up
• 18:14
  for grabs. They got to him early.
• 18:16
  If you get deep into this weekend, there's a lot of lot of
• 18:19
  teams that play with with Zach Eflin.
• 18:22
  So he he tops in the first percentile for walks.
• 18:28
  The man has a 13 to 87 strikeout, thirteen walks to 87
• 18:34
  strikeouts this year. Dude does not put anyone on Like
• 18:38
  that's that's a veteran. That's that's the guy that's
• 18:41
  going to eat innings can happily step in as a starter in the
• 18:44
  postseason. Like I, I'm saying this is a
• 18:48
  very much underrated move, but I agree based on the prospect
• 18:55
  capital that they have, I I think it would be a massive
• 18:59
  mistake to not get a bit of a splash somewhere you're.
• 19:09
  Going to need to help the back end of that bullpen out though.
• 19:11
  Yeah, Sir Anthony Dominguez and we can get into this trade next,
• 19:14
  I guess. But this Sir Anthony Dominguez
• 19:16
  trade, I didn't, I don't know that lose.
• 19:23
  I feel like losing Hayes out of the clubhouse does more damage
• 19:29
  than Sir Anthony Dominguez brings positivity to the to the
• 19:33
  fold. Am I crazy there?
• 19:38
  You know, you got a little bit of a surplus in the outfield.
• 19:40
  Yeah. But.
• 19:43
  I don't know how much of A how much of an impact Austin Hayes
• 19:49
  was or how much of like of an oomph that guy was given to the
• 19:53
  clubhouse. Maybe he was, Ryan would
• 19:55
  probably have a better pulse on that.
• 19:56
  But I think at this stage of the game, I think maybe it's an
• 20:03
  unpopular opinion, I still think they need to add more to the
• 20:05
  back end of the bullpen. But I I think adding strength
• 20:08
  and need Dominguez is at this stage of the game more important
• 20:11
  than having a guy like Hayes around.
• 20:12
  I. Sure.
• 20:13
  I could do with or without. They've been talking about
• 20:16
  They've been talking about trading him for some time now
• 20:19
  and shipping him out elsewhere given the log jam that they
• 20:21
  have. So how do?
• 20:22
  You feel about the comments, the the interview comments, do you
• 20:25
  see those? Yeah, it's talking about how
• 20:28
  like he he feels like he's on a team now that has an even better
• 20:31
  chance to to win the World Series.
• 20:33
  And that's all Orioles fans losing their mind.
• 20:36
  I'm like. What do you want him to say?
• 20:39
  I wish I was wrong. Is he wrong?
• 20:41
  I wish I didn't. I didn't come to this town.
• 20:44
  Like, what do you want him to say?
• 20:45
  He's going to buy into his new team.
• 20:47
  He has to. It's not even buying into the
• 20:49
  OR, it's not just buying into the team.
• 20:50
  It's it's fact. A simple look at the standings
• 20:55
  tells you that the Phillies, at the conclusion of the weekend,
• 20:59
  stand at 65 and 40, and the Orioles are 62 and 43.
• 21:03
  So yeah, say what you will. And that's a good point.
• 21:07
  Though forget the win loss. Forget, forget the win loss
• 21:10
  record. Look at the division the
• 21:11
  Phillies are having to stave off the Braves, who are 56 and 48.
• 21:15
  So what do we really talk about? And as we know, the the Orioles
• 21:19
  are the the Yankees and the Red Sox are, I mean, you could, I
• 21:24
  won't lump the race and they're 8 1/2 back, but it's six games
• 21:27
  back as, as of, as of this moment, you're having to save
• 21:30
  off the Yankees and Red Sox. So he's, what he said was
• 21:34
  perfectly fine. I don't know why people are
• 21:35
  flipping out about it, but I don't.
• 21:37
  Yeah, yeah. With him, I, I do.
• 21:43
  I do like the move allows Marsh to to be in center field more.
• 21:52
  Maybe Castellanos just needs like some time, like a couple
• 21:55
  days a week off. I don't know.
• 21:57
  The guy's been historically bad at the plate this year.
• 22:00
  I know that. Like I I think he barely ranks
• 22:04
  above like Andrew Benintendi as far as war goes.
• 22:07
  I think I saw that he's. He's one of the.
• 22:10
  I think you can count him on one hand the number of guys that
• 22:13
  have appear, have played every game this year.
• 22:15
  I think he's one of. I think he's one of the.
• 22:17
  Few they needed they needed some outfield depth like now you can
• 22:20
  you can slide you can move he can play left.
• 22:24
  He can play like and and marsh and and Rojas and center So like
• 22:28
  there's some things that have opened up a little bit with
• 22:31
  them. I don't know, man, like I'd be
• 22:34
  stoked any anybody trades me to the Phillies for for who they
• 22:39
  are, what they have going on in the clubhouse and like the the
• 22:44
  welcoming feeling that you got to be getting right now.
• 22:47
  It's got to feel good so and I think you get a chance to play
• 22:51
  more often so. Yeah, I feel like, I feel like
• 22:56
  for a handful of those OS, there's this awkward like
• 22:59
  tension where it's, yeah, we got a team culture here.
• 23:02
  Yeah, we're super deep, but also like.
• 23:06
  It's a lot of jam. When you have a lot of jam,
• 23:08
  you're constantly going to be questioned by or this back of
• 23:12
  the head like this kid, this kids coming from my job some
• 23:15
  point. So a.
• 23:17
  Big lack of clarity. Even though I think we've seen
• 23:21
  cursed that and and left that this it's looked, it's looked
• 23:27
  rough in Baltimore, hasn't it? There's a couple of plays that
• 23:29
  he's made out in near Mount Baltimore that looked.
• 23:33
  Yeah, yeah, I'm all for, I'm all for competition, like improving
• 23:45
  the the product on the field. You know, guys are trying to
• 23:48
  battle it out. They're trying to be better than
• 23:49
  the guy that's behind him and the guy that's in front of him
• 23:51
  or whatever it is. But at a certain point, it's
• 23:54
  like that that can eat at somebody like not not really
• 23:59
  knowing where you where you stand in the in the depth chart
• 24:02
  order and and when your next turn is going to come down the
• 24:05
  line at. Some weirdness going on in
• 24:08
  Baltimore and I I don't like you've It makes you wonder how
• 24:12
  much they're shopping or like displaying like Connor Norby her
• 24:18
  said like the like you have guys that like, you know, you know,
• 24:22
  I, I don't know, I would want to hold on to Westburg, but like
• 24:25
  you got to see if maybe people want to see what nor we can do.
• 24:29
  Like, you know, now they're talking like Cedric Mullins,
• 24:32
  maybe, you know, adding Pashe in this deal, by the way, gives
• 24:36
  them some outfield depth that like can can play pretty solid
• 24:41
  defense. So.
• 24:42
  And that's something you and I talked about before we even
• 24:44
  hopped on is I feel like Pashe for for the the noise that was
• 24:49
  being made around his his call up back in the day.
• 24:52
  I feel like he's bounced around the league a little bit more
• 24:55
  than we would have thought at this stage in his career.
• 24:56
  But you know, maybe maybe he he finds his place in Baltimore.
• 25:00
  Who's who's really say. But yeah, for you mentioned
• 25:05
  cursed dad. I think of the names that I've
• 25:07
  seen floated around as possible pieces of ship out.
• 25:10
  I've seen his name the most. So keep an eye out for Hessing
• 25:14
  Kurstad being dealt elsewhere to possibly hopefully for the OS
• 25:20
  bring in a piece that they really need.
• 25:23
  So that's all I got on that. But wrapping up the the Rays
• 25:29
  talk here, Jason Adam being dealt to the Padres and what
• 25:36
  I've seen is the biggest overpay of the deadline thus far.
• 25:46
  I don't know when the Padres are going to learn.
• 25:48
  I I, it doesn't seem as though they're going to learn anytime
• 25:51
  soon. They seem to dish out more than
• 25:54
  they should, both in terms of prospects and in money.
• 25:59
  And you can you can verify that just by looking at the latest
• 26:04
  deals they've made and by the the latest signings they've made
• 26:09
  over the last, what, couple years at this stage?
• 26:13
  I don't get it. I mean.
• 26:16
  I love Jason Adam. I, I'm, I'm team Jason Adam
• 26:20
  here. Then I think he's really good.
• 26:22
  Really good. But not this good.
• 26:27
  Not this good. They gave up their third, eighth
• 26:31
  and 12th ranked prospects to make this deal happen.
• 26:34
  Is Preller going to get fired? Yeah, most likely.
• 26:40
  I mean this is. I'm down.
• 26:43
  Let's get Cashman out of here and bring in Preler.
• 26:46
  I can see this. I can see this.
• 26:49
  There's the when when Preler started this, when when he
• 26:53
  started the whole like, hey, we're we don't care.
• 26:57
  Like we're putting it on the table.
• 26:59
  We're going for this thing. You and I were both on the same
• 27:02
  page and a lot of other people were looking around going look
• 27:04
  at the Padres, man. This is how you're supposed to
• 27:06
  run a club, but after year after year of it not working and then
• 27:11
  you just seemingly getting fleeced both again in terms of
• 27:17
  prospects and financially where you're, you're, you're paying
• 27:20
  Zander Bogart's like $8 trillion It that's just one example.
• 27:26
  But then you look at this deal that they made for Jason Adam.
• 27:29
  It's like, what are we, who are you trying to outbid here?
• 27:32
  I, I'm, I'm sure that it was a bidding war and seem they, they
• 27:38
  clearly came out on top, but I'm like, I don't know if you needed
• 27:41
  to go this deep. And Andres, I don't know if you,
• 27:44
  I, I don't know if you have to do it this early before the
• 27:48
  deadline. Like this is, this is almost
• 27:52
  like this is almost like, hey, we didn't get that.
• 27:57
  It's, it's, you know, two hours, 3 hours before the deadline.
• 28:01
  We didn't get the names we were hoping for.
• 28:03
  Like we still have this. Let's let's just go get
• 28:06
  something. Give this now.
• 28:08
  You're almost like handcuffed yourself to like you.
• 28:10
  What do you have left to give? And is anyone needing to sign
• 28:15
  off on these deals for Preller or is Preller able to do this on
• 28:18
  his own? Like I this is a head scratcher
• 28:24
  for me. I agree and disagree.
• 28:26
  I think it's I think it is a little early in terms of like
• 28:32
  it, it's seeming like a panic move at the last minute.
• 28:36
  I think it's early in that sense, like you didn't need to,
• 28:40
  you didn't need to drop this Hall for Jason Adam.
• 28:43
  But at the same time, I understand needing to to acquire
• 28:48
  bullpen arms at at this stage for a lot of teams, not just the
• 28:51
  Padres, for a lot of teams. That's the, I, I mean, have we
• 28:56
  had a season as of late where I feel like bullpen arms are
• 28:59
  needed more than they are this year just across the league?
• 29:03
  I, I don't know. But I for in, in terms of, in,
• 29:06
  in regards to that, I understand the rush maybe to go out and get
• 29:10
  a guy like Jason Adam where it's like we've identified that as an
• 29:13
  arm that we want, an arm that we think can benefit us.
• 29:16
  Let's go get them. But like to your point, you I, I
• 29:19
  don't know if any team is dishing out this much for for
• 29:23
  Jason Adam. It just doesn't make sense.
• 29:25
  He's 32 and don't get me wrong, he's been great, but like we
• 29:32
  also don't know that I didn't looked.
• 29:34
  If you look up his VR page, I didn't realize he spent a few
• 29:37
  years elsewhere, I think Chicago and like one of their place
• 29:40
  before he got to Tampa and it was not good.
• 29:43
  It was not good. So I, I feel like Tampa like
• 29:46
  unleashed something or found something in him and you got to
• 29:50
  wonder. As they do.
• 29:51
  Like, yeah, as they do. But like, you got to wonder, can
• 29:54
  can the Padres unleash the same thing?
• 29:58
  Can you get the same thing out of him?
• 29:59
  Like, what Was it just Tampa or is this him?
• 30:03
  But at 32, three top 15 prospects and you're getting him
• 30:13
  for, we'll say, another 2530 innings this year.
• 30:21
  Just interesting, that's all. Head scratcher I think describes
• 30:28
  the best. He doesn't have control till
• 30:31
  2026 so to be fair like you do have him for a while but just
• 30:37
  interesting. Speaking of interesting, how do
• 30:39
  we feel about Jazz Chisholm in the pinstripes?
• 30:46
  I think that looks as it all. And hey, if you can't see the
• 30:51
  look right now, what are you doing?
• 30:53
  Go subscribe on YouTube, hit up the three O take on YouTube and
• 30:57
  as the creator say, smash that subscribe button.
• 31:02
  I'm mixed, mixed emotions about it.
• 31:06
  Don't. Don't lie.
• 31:08
  Don't. Lie you.
• 31:09
  You don't like this move? I don't like this move.
• 31:12
  You don't like this move? I don't like this move.
• 31:14
  This didn't seem like a hole. This doesn't seem like it plugs
• 31:18
  a hole. Well, if you get rid of JD
• 31:20
  Davis. He's gone.
• 31:22
  Which you? Did.
• 31:24
  Yeah, I'd say that, I think. Well, I mean, anybody that was
• 31:27
  going to be coming in, he was going to be the next guy out.
• 31:30
  But. But.
• 31:31
  I it makes me wonder if the Reds are maybe not getting rid of
• 31:37
  Jonathan India. That seemed to me like it just
• 31:40
  it seemed like the perfect fit. To be fair, Glaber is like
• 31:46
  really turned it around since the All Star breaks.
• 31:48
  Been hot, but I think we know what Glaber is at this point.
• 31:53
  This is just weird. Like I, Jason Dominguez is right
• 31:56
  around the corner from being being ready to go and play in
• 31:59
  center field every day. Well, let me ask you this.
• 32:02
  Does this move now slide when when Jason Dominguez gets back,
• 32:08
  does this move slide Verdugo to the bench?
• 32:11
  I've I've seen that as a as a possibility.
• 32:14
  He's also gotten hot. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but I don't
• 32:18
  hate that. I don't hate this rotation of of
• 32:20
  four days or 4 outfielders rotating amongst the the the
• 32:25
  process here. And like I think it gives a
• 32:29
  little bit of cushion to Stanton maybe not being back in time for
• 32:34
  full time TH. So maybe you can rotate it as
• 32:36
  ADH through that time. It's just seems like he's more
• 32:42
  the same. Yes, he's fast, yes, he has
• 32:44
  athleticism. He's a lot of swinging miss.
• 32:48
  He's a lot of swinging miss 28. He got a 28% K rate in his
• 32:54
  career, but everyone's falling in love with what he's doing
• 32:59
  with runners in scoring position, slashing 33433 four,
• 33:05
  34568 for A1 dot OPS with runners in scoring position.
• 33:11
  So it's like maybe that's a little bit there, but there's
• 33:13
  still this need for like a true lead off guy that they don't
• 33:17
  have. And the Marlins got back a good
• 33:22
  one. I'm going to be honest with you,
• 33:24
  Augustine Ramirez is is a a damn good catcher and he's got some
• 33:29
  pop. I think he can also play first
• 33:31
  base immediately becomes their 4th ranked prospect.
• 33:35
  He's got an 862 OPS between AA and AAA this year.
• 33:39
  So they got a good piece. I just, I don't know then Jazz
• 33:46
  is under control. I just, it's an interesting fit
• 33:51
  and I don't know if his style of play enhances what we've already
• 33:57
  seen the Yankees kind of become at times when they're down,
• 34:00
  they're really down and they're really sluggish and they're
• 34:03
  really swinging miss and they're really emotional and they're,
• 34:06
  you know what I mean? And he just seems like more of
• 34:09
  the same. So I don't love it.
• 34:13
  This cannot be the only move. If this is a if this is your
• 34:18
  second best move of the deadline, then I'm OK.
• 34:20
  But if this is your best move of the deadline, I'm going to be
• 34:23
  disappointed. And also kind of weird that like
• 34:29
  maybe, maybe Tanner Scott not being included in this deal, it
• 34:34
  makes me kind of feel like the Yankees aren't able to get him
• 34:37
  because there's a lot of other teams that would happily grab
• 34:40
  Tanner Scott. So I don't know.
• 34:45
  I don't know how I feel. I think that says it best.
• 34:47
  I mean, if if jazz this, this may upset some people.
• 34:54
  This may hurt some people's feelings, but I I saw it may
• 34:57
  have been a just a tweet in passing.
• 34:59
  I apologize. I don't remember who who posted
• 35:01
  it, but it was something to the effect of like there, there has
• 35:04
  not been a player in recent memory forced on our throats
• 35:07
  more than Jazz Chisholm. True.
• 35:10
  And it's like when you look at this trade it, it certainly
• 35:15
  grabs your attention. It it it certainly pops off the
• 35:18
  screen a little bit. But when you when you step back
• 35:20
  and remind yourself who you're really looking at, who you're
• 35:23
  really dealing with here. This shouldn't be the Yankees
• 35:28
  best move at the deadline. This this shouldn't be.
• 35:31
  It's it's a good addition. I'm not going to say it's not
• 35:35
  given his his positional flexibility.
• 35:39
  But this can't be as you said, this can't be your best move if
• 35:43
  you're if you're Cashman, this cannot be your best move.
• 35:45
  Yeah, I think missing out on parades was was not was not
• 35:49
  good. Was not good.
• 35:53
  Yeah, I don't I don't know. We'll see.
• 35:55
  Time will tell The I think there's a high upside and I
• 35:59
  think you can see the swing play for sure.
• 36:01
  Duh. Everyone says it left the in
• 36:02
  Yankee Stadium, but I don't know.
• 36:05
  Just doesn't get me super fired up, doesn't give me super jazzed
• 36:08
  up, You know what I mean? Boom, hold on, let me find it.
• 36:13
  There it is. OK.
• 36:16
  Mets acquire Jesse Winker from the Nats in exchange for Tyler
• 36:22
  Stewart. I guess the only thing to really
• 36:26
  write home about is the the weird beef that he had with the
• 36:30
  Mets. Didn't he have beef?
• 36:33
  Yeah, he did. And I'd be quite honest with
• 36:35
  you, I was, I feel like I was a little unaware of that.
• 36:38
  I, I didn't know much about it, but apparently, yeah, him, him
• 36:42
  and him and the Mets fans I guess have, have not had the the
• 36:47
  greatest interaction. But I'm so over that.
• 36:50
  You, you see, you see guys squash that all the time.
• 36:53
  They get to where they're, I mean, that's, that's, that's
• 36:55
  normal, that's natural. Like you're, you don't want to
• 36:59
  be best buddies with opposing fan bases.
• 37:01
  Like that's just how that works. And even if you're, even if
• 37:05
  you're not fan or even if you're not actively trying to like turn
• 37:12
  yourself away from opposing fan bases, you're more than likely
• 37:15
  just not, you're not, you're not really into that.
• 37:20
  But the I'm not people keep making a big deal, but I'm not
• 37:24
  all that stressed about it. But I think people are more so
• 37:26
  just bringing that up as a talking point and and trying to
• 37:32
  maybe, I don't know. Just start a decent year hasn't.
• 37:36
  It stir things up a little bit. Yeah, he has.
• 37:39
  He coming into I guess today is Sunday got an OPS of 793 with 11
• 37:46
  jacks. So I mean.
• 37:50
  I don't know it I, I shout out, Andrew, one of our listeners
• 37:54
  texted me to asking about it yesterday and I was like, I'd
• 37:58
  it's it's like buying without buying.
• 38:01
  That's what it feels like. It's like buying without being a
• 38:05
  buyer. Does that make sense?
• 38:09
  Yeah, I mean, look, rag on the Mets all the time.
• 38:14
  To be set to be fair, though, this is like, I mean, it's a
• 38:18
  safe move. Like you're not you're you're
• 38:22
  not completely all in. Like if you're being honest with
• 38:25
  yourself, you're not completely all in, but you're also, you
• 38:28
  know, you're kind of kicking the tires on the postseason if
• 38:30
  you're the Mets. So like he's having, he's having
• 38:33
  a bounce back here. It's a safe move to where you're
• 38:36
  not unloading your farm for a move that may not end up even
• 38:39
  mattering come the end of September.
• 38:41
  So I can, I can respect the move in that regard.
• 38:45
  And the more I talk about it, I actually like the the move for
• 38:48
  the Mets more than I think I originally did because it's,
• 38:50
  it's plain a little safe. You're going to keep trucking
• 38:54
  along. They may not be done, we don't
• 38:57
  know, but they're going to just keep trucking along with what
• 39:00
  they got. And we're going to, we're going
• 39:04
  to see what they can do. All I know is the Braves there,
• 39:10
  there was a point this weekend where I think the Mets overtook
• 39:14
  them in the division temporarily.
• 39:15
  I think they have since lost that.
• 39:16
  But yeah, just be careful. Be care.
• 39:20
  I'm going to, I'm going to keep bringing it up every episode.
• 39:22
  Braves fans, just be careful. Be careful.
• 39:27
  Red Sox picking up James Paxson from the Dodgers in exchange for
• 39:32
  Moises Bolivar. I'm OK with it similar, but I
• 39:41
  mean, I'm not saying James, I'm not putting James Paxson and
• 39:45
  Jazz Chisholm in the same basket, but I'm, I'm thinking
• 39:48
  along the same lines as you where it's like.
• 39:50
  Can't be the best move. I've James Paxson, who was
• 39:54
  literally on your team last year.
• 39:55
  If like if this is your best move is just bringing back a guy
• 39:58
  that we already had who's having like a so so year.
• 40:03
  I mean, not not the worst we've ever seen, but not the best
• 40:08
  we've ever seen from James Paxson.
• 40:09
  Like if that's your best move, that's really concerning because
• 40:13
  of the move you made to bring Alex Kor back.
• 40:16
  And then you follow up with this.
• 40:17
  Yeah, and he was very much up for grabs, wasn't he on waivers?
• 40:24
  He was yeah. So or no DFADFA on Monday I
• 40:31
  think it was. Yeah, very much up for grabs
• 40:36
  yeah I if I'm if I'm you, I wouldn't feel super stoked about
• 40:42
  I mean it's depth, but I I. For the record, I don't, I don't
• 40:48
  hate it. I, I I'm OK with the move, but
• 40:50
  to to what we've been talking about for the last 1010 or so
• 40:53
  minutes. It just it feels like a end of
• 40:55
  the deadline kind of move, not a beginning of the deadline.
• 40:58
  I didn't realize. I mean he ranks in the bottom
• 41:02
  8th percentile in K rate and walk rate this year.
• 41:06
  Both are bad. If I'm being completely frank,
• 41:09
  I'm not worried about numbers at this point.
• 41:11
  I just, we just need, we just need innings.
• 41:14
  We need Major League arms in the rotation especially.
• 41:16
  He's going to fill out the fifth spot in the rotation.
• 41:19
  Whatever, I'm I'm cool. He's he's bumping Cooper
• 41:22
  Criswell out. He's going to slot in at the
• 41:25
  five. I'm totally OK having James
• 41:27
  Paxton at at the five. That's that's not my point.
• 41:30
  You need pen help and you need another bat.
• 41:33
  You need another power bat in in the lineup.
• 41:35
  But if again, I'll reiterate if this is it.
• 41:38
  Well, Speaking of bats, how do you feel of the the Reese
• 41:40
  McGuire thing, Reese McGuire, Danny Jensen thing?
• 41:46
  Well, one for one. Essentially, Reese McGuire has
• 41:50
  since been DFA. I'm OK with it.
• 41:54
  I I didn't have any particular feelings about Reese McGuire.
• 41:59
  I know he's got his whole back story there, which.
• 42:02
  It's a tough one. It's a tough back story.
• 42:04
  No need to dig into that any further.
• 42:05
  But honestly because of that and it's super unfair, although it
• 42:09
  is self-inflicted, his whole back story.
• 42:12
  Very much it's. Very much self-inflicted.
• 42:16
  I just, I just got tired of it. I honestly, I just got to be
• 42:20
  quite honest with you. And I know that's unfair because
• 42:23
  like, you know, it's, it's in the guys past.
• 42:26
  I'm sure he's like, he's more than paid his dues in terms of
• 42:30
  like a national embarrassment and like all of I, I get that,
• 42:34
  but I personally, I just got tired of hearing about it.
• 42:36
  And so I'm glad that somebody else can deal with it because
• 42:39
  it's like it's, it's a joke, but it's all, quite frankly, it's a
• 42:43
  distraction. I mean, look at the, look at
• 42:47
  the. I feel like we were over it.
• 42:49
  I feel like we got past it. And then cow control is like,
• 42:52
  let me just remind the entire nation.
• 42:54
  And let me, let me let folks know that had no clue before
• 42:59
  today about what happened. Yeah, yeah.
• 43:01
  So I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm over it. It seems like Danny Jensen seems
• 43:05
  like a good clubhouse. Dude.
• 43:08
  I'm, I'm, I'm OK with it. I mean, it doesn't really move
• 43:11
  the needle for me, but you know it it.
• 43:14
  I think he hits well Fenway. Numbers wise, he's he's good, I
• 43:21
  believe. Yeah, he's going to provide.
• 43:22
  He hits well. Yeah, he's going to hit well at
• 43:24
  Fenway, hopefully moving forward.
• 43:27
  But he's going to bring you more than what I think Reese McGuire
• 43:30
  was giving you, even though that that tan, that catching tandem
• 43:34
  of Connor Wong and Reese McGuire had been working well, I'm like
• 43:39
  I said, I'm I'm just over the Reese McGuire thing and I'm.
• 43:42
  I think that's more of the Connor Wong side of things
• 43:44
  though. No, I mean, he's, he's been
• 43:46
  great. Oh no, for sure.
• 43:47
  I'm not. No, no, no.
• 43:48
  I'm definitely Connor Wong definitely having the better
• 43:50
  season. I'm not saying that, but I'm
• 43:51
  just saying I was OK. It's like, OK, Connor Wong needs
• 43:53
  a day on the bench. Sure, put in Reese McGuire,
• 43:56
  whatever, Didn't bother me all that much.
• 43:58
  But having having some new blood in there behind the dish
• 44:03
  occasionally and then like like you said, hitting a little bit
• 44:05
  better at Fenway. I'm I'm OK.
• 44:06
  I didn't. I didn't realize Jensen's been
• 44:09
  around that long. I think I saw like a Blue Jays
• 44:12
  tweet. It was like, thanks for a great
• 44:14
  eight years or something like that.
• 44:15
  And I was. Like hasn't really been that
• 44:16
  long. I know it, I could be wrong, but
• 44:21
  then it's been a while. We are talking about arms right
• 44:26
  now. I think we've transitioned into
• 44:27
  arms. We do have a question in the
• 44:29
  chat, Rodolfo asked, do you think the White Sox sell
• 44:32
  pitching this deadline? We didn't necessarily have this
• 44:34
  on the docket for today, but I think it's a, it's a worthwhile
• 44:38
  question to address because I feel like we're seeing back and
• 44:42
  forth reports on crochet and Kopec and really just, yeah,
• 44:49
  White Sox in general. They, I don't know what the deal
• 44:52
  is. They're they're playing it close
• 44:54
  to the vest. They're thinking about
• 44:57
  offloading guys, They're thinking about keeping guy.
• 45:00
  I don't know what's going on in Chicago, but I think if they
• 45:04
  fail to offload these guys, I think it's a huge mistake 'cause
• 45:09
  they don't have a they, they just don't have a a future right
• 45:12
  now. So like, what value does it do
• 45:14
  for them or what value does it bring them to keep crochet
• 45:18
  again? And who was, who was it that we
• 45:20
  were just talking about? Tarek Scubal Tigers get rid of
• 45:25
  them. White Sox get rid of crochet.
• 45:27
  These guys, they, these two examples of trade value are not
• 45:32
  going to be any higher than they are right now.
• 45:33
  So what are you doing holding on to them?
• 45:37
  I also saw not not giving the most credible source here, but a
• 45:43
  Bob Nightingale tweet about Crochet being I think his last
• 45:49
  three outings have been 4 innings or less.
• 45:52
  So the White Sox are for sure like heavily monitoring his
• 45:56
  innings because we talked about last episode like the the demand
• 46:02
  of being extended. Otherwise, he's not pitching in
• 46:06
  the postseason. I think if you're the White Sox,
• 46:09
  the value remains this offseason.
• 46:12
  It's still there. You know what I mean?
• 46:14
  He's still under control, barring any any shutdown or
• 46:19
  injury or anything like that that we see at the end of the
• 46:21
  year. So I think if you're not getting
• 46:23
  the offer that you're at, you're desiring.
• 46:26
  And I think it's a direct correlation to that demand.
• 46:29
  If a team is if a team, let's just say the Yankees are like,
• 46:32
  hey, we're sorry, we're not going to get an extension done
• 46:35
  in a month. We're out, but call us in
• 46:39
  November. Like if the if the White Sox
• 46:43
  aren't getting the offer that they're looking for, I don't I
• 46:47
  don't think they're necessarily losing any any value there.
• 46:50
  I think he still holds a ton of value this offseason.
• 46:55
  Then it and it allows teams to be a little bit more of a
• 46:59
  cautious buyer to see how he does for the rest of the season.
• 47:05
  Being at that is, you know, throwing his most amount of
• 47:08
  innings ever. And that's entirely why I
• 47:10
  believe that the White Sox need to offload him as soon as
• 47:13
  possible. 'Cause they're you, you're
• 47:15
  saying you don't know what he's going to do with the rest of.
• 47:17
  The year you don't know what he's going to even if he, even
• 47:19
  if he maintains, even if he finishes out this year strong,
• 47:22
  which that's even a question mark given the innings.
• 47:24
  Like you said, you just you, you know how the deadlines work and
• 47:31
  you know how the offseason works.
• 47:33
  The deadline teams are a little bit more quick to pull the
• 47:36
  trigger. They're more, I mean, we just
• 47:38
  talked about the Padres. The Padres love to just throw
• 47:41
  whatever in in, in all sorts of panic moves.
• 47:45
  There's got to be a team out there that's willing to, maybe
• 47:50
  not willing to, but that would be likely to hit the panic
• 47:55
  button and go, OK, take what you want for crochet, we'll take
• 47:58
  them and then maybe the White Sox.
• 48:02
  I think it does get done. I think it, I think I'm Aaron on
• 48:05
  the side that it does get done. It's going to be a late deadline
• 48:08
  thing. I think it's going to be a late
• 48:10
  deadline thing. Kopec gone as well.
• 48:21
  Yeah, I mean, every, from everything I've seen, Kopec is
• 48:27
  much further, much further towards the top of the hopper in
• 48:30
  terms of guys that they're probably going to be parting
• 48:33
  ways with. Is there another name?
• 48:36
  Fetty. Fetty, Thank you.
• 48:38
  Yeah, yeah. Now that's a guy that's a guy I
• 48:42
  think could, could real like a very underrated move that I
• 48:45
  think would benefit some clubs. I, I think, I think Fetty
• 48:50
  figured something out overseas and it's, it's translated fairly
• 48:55
  well over here. I would say so.
• 48:57
  I think the the Louise Robert thing is dead, unless the
• 49:00
  Dodgers are really just willing willing to give up everything.
• 49:07
  Get both because Philly. I felt like Philly was was a
• 49:14
  possibility, felt like the Yankees were a possibility.
• 49:19
  There's not so many other teams that like in dire needs of a of
• 49:25
  a big bat center fielder. Maybe Astros.
• 49:29
  Astros. I mean rarely do you seem see a
• 49:32
  team tinker around with like some a lower tier moves and then
• 49:36
  make a splash. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 49:39
  A deal like that you're that's kind of your.
• 49:42
  Your thing that's. That's your move at that point.
• 49:45
  You're you're not making multiple moves and then going
• 49:48
  for a a insane package of Crochet and Robert like that.
• 49:54
  I think the Dodgers would be the only team willing to.
• 49:56
  Anything like that? Yeah.
• 49:58
  So whatever. Time will tell.
• 50:04
  Yeah, who do we got now? Speaking to the Phillies picked
• 50:10
  up Carlos Estevas. How do we feel about this 31
• 50:19
  year old closer? Smart.
• 50:23
  Just smart. Set to be a rental.
• 50:25
  Yeah, just smart bullpen depth Phillies.
• 50:31
  Look, I just less and less holes, you know what I mean?
• 50:35
  Everything they do from here on out that the deadline I they're
• 50:39
  I think they do a good job. I hate giving Dave Dombrowski
• 50:45
  this much credit, but like, kid can.
• 50:47
  You. How can you not?
• 50:48
  Can you think of anything like the man just doesn't miss lately
• 50:54
  and he's just doing everything the right way?
• 50:56
  And, you know, I, I think there's maybe some rotation
• 51:03
  depth. I don't know if there's question
• 51:05
  marks around Ranger Suarez. There probably should be.
• 51:08
  The man's definitely falling back down to earth quickly, but
• 51:13
  there's not a whole lot of holes that you got to worry about.
• 51:18
  I haven't I haven't checked in on Trey lately.
• 51:21
  How's he been swinging? I know he was on fire right
• 51:26
  around the All Star break. Assuming it's back to that could
• 51:32
  horrible. All right.
• 51:34
  Also, why do we say Esteves versus Estevez?
• 51:42
  You know what I mean? Well, that's just me and.
• 51:45
  I've heard that though, I'll say.
• 51:46
  It for the I'll say it for the one thousandth time, I'm the
• 51:49
  last guy that you want to try to get a correct pronunciation out
• 51:53
  of when it comes to a name. Trey Turner Still Trey Turner
• 51:57
  sitting 3/26. Yeah, To your point, though,
• 52:02
  about Dave Dombrowski, that's that is a a figure in baseball
• 52:06
  whose hate I will never understand.
• 52:09
  Yeah, I know How, how who cares if he empties the farm?
• 52:15
  Yeah, he gives you a chance. Like, what are we talking about?
• 52:19
  Is that a bad thing now? Like it is like the cool thing
• 52:23
  to just hoard prospects is, is that is that the state of
• 52:26
  baseball now? Yes, no, get rid of your
• 52:29
  prospects. Go get the proven talent that we
• 52:32
  always talk about and give yourself a chance.
• 52:37
  OK, sick. You had the best farm system in
• 52:39
  baseball for the the last five years.
• 52:42
  Congrats, you're going to hang a banner for that.
• 52:47
  I, I've never understand why, why people dislike Dave
• 52:50
  Dombrowski so much. And I, I, I understand there's
• 52:52
  certainly a bias there, but like what, what are we talking about?
• 52:56
  Every team that he's gone to, he's given them a shot.
• 52:59
  Now whether or not whether or not they prefer that on field
• 53:02
  product performed, that's a different conversation.
• 53:05
  That's a little bit more on them.
• 53:07
  But in terms of personnel on paper, plugging holes, making
• 53:11
  additions. Got the Tiger, got the Tigers to
• 53:15
  a World Series, got the Red Sox to multiple World Series, got
• 53:18
  the Phillies to World Series. Like the man is, he delivers.
• 53:22
  That's what he does. I mean it and like it's what do
• 53:27
  you care as a fan? Like it's not your, it's not
• 53:29
  your checkbook. You know what I mean?
• 53:31
  You're not paying this payroll. Stupid.
• 53:37
  Yeah. For the record, I think he only
• 53:38
  got the socks to one but. Did he?
• 53:42
  Point second yeah 18. I don't know if you got the
• 53:45
  Tigers, you got the one. I just pulled that out of
• 53:47
  nowhere, so we'll see. The Yeah.
• 53:48
  The point is, though, it's just like he gives you a shot that
• 53:52
  I'll just never understand. Who else we got here.
• 53:55
  Yimi Garcia, Mariners. We were talking Mariners a
• 53:57
  little earlier. Mariners picked up Yimi Garcia
• 54:01
  in exchange for outfitter. Jonathan.
• 54:03
  Jonathan. Jonathan.
• 54:04
  Jonathan. Sure.
• 54:07
  I don't know where where the H is.
• 54:09
  Class A, Class A and catcher Jacob Sharp.
• 54:16
  This was another one of the moves that we alluded to where
• 54:18
  it's like, OK, you're, you're inching along, you're moving in
• 54:22
  the in the direction that you need to, but you're going to
• 54:24
  need to go above and beyond. Yeah, yeah.
• 54:27
  Where'd he go again? I already forgot channel.
• 54:32
  OK, Yeah, I was thinking more than Blue Jays side.
• 54:36
  Like if this is the only move you make that I'm that I'm still
• 54:39
  disappointed. Like you need to sell more.
• 54:41
  The Blue Jays need to sell more. There's there's you need to, you
• 54:44
  need a little bit of like some high, high, you know, AA AAA
• 54:51
  level prospects to like that are ready to come in and and start
• 54:55
  doing some stuff. So.
• 54:57
  Well, I mean, once, once the once the calendar turns or once
• 55:00
  the clock turns to Monday, we're we're full blown trade deadline
• 55:06
  mode. Like I think, I think things are
• 55:07
  going to, you're going to start seeing the bigger names fall.
• 55:09
  I mean, like we already mentioned, we've already seen a
• 55:11
  couple of the big names fall off the board, but I I wouldn't
• 55:16
  count the Jays out just yet for or in terms of selling and I
• 55:20
  think there's still some, some things to take place there.
• 55:25
  There's names that can go. Kikuchi is got to be going
• 55:27
  somewhere, pretty sure. I know the Vlad thing is like a
• 55:31
  desire for a lot of baseball fans.
• 55:34
  It's maybe, I don't know if that's going to happen, but
• 55:37
  yeah, they got to move some guys.
• 55:39
  What? Does it?
• 55:41
  What was it that they said? I think the Jays came out and
• 55:47
  and talked about who they were willing to part ways with more.
• 55:49
  I I think it was Bo, wasn't it, that they were or sorry to hold
• 55:53
  on to. I think they said Bo or they
• 55:57
  alluded to, I guess was the guy that they were more likely to.
• 56:01
  Keep fully fair, which I I fully am OK with.
• 56:10
  That's great. Jazz, with his first game back,
• 56:13
  getting hurt. As as we see Jazz Chisholm in
• 56:16
  pain at second base talk talk about in addition for the inks.
• 56:24
  I yell. I yell tomorrow.
• 56:27
  But yeah, Mariners. Yeah, keep doing your thing.
• 56:32
  Keep going. This can't be it.
• 56:35
  Need a bigger splash? Need more?
• 56:39
  We already talked about the OS and Phillies deal, so that
• 56:43
  leaves us with some Kodai Singa news.
• 56:46
  Tough break for the Mets, dude. Tough break.
• 56:49
  Yeah, came back for a bag of chips and then and, you know,
• 56:54
  half a sandwich and then he was done.
• 56:57
  Didn't even get to finish his lunch.
• 56:58
  Didn't even get to finish his lunch or his dinner.
• 57:01
  I guess you could say it was a was a night game that he was
• 57:04
  pitching, but tough break man comes back from the IL and then
• 57:14
  gets hit with a high quote, high grade calf strain.
• 57:17
  And I told you if you if you saw the video.
• 57:20
  I did not see it by the way. That was not pretty.
• 57:23
  That was not pretty. Like, I'm sitting here
• 57:26
  wondering, like, how in the world does a calf strain knock
• 57:30
  you out for, what do they say, 8810 weeks for a calf strain?
• 57:38
  And then I watched the video and I'm like, yeah.
• 57:42
  Oh, so tough makes. Sense.
• 57:44
  Tough with the with the rod. Aaron Rodgers coming out with
• 57:47
  the American flag? Yep, like.
• 57:49
  So, so a lot of those comps, yeah, yeah, it make that makes
• 57:57
  sense that that looks painful at this.
• 57:59
  I mean, at this point, the next time you're going to see him is
• 58:04
  possibly the post season. And I say that kind of quietly
• 58:08
  because it's the Mets. But like at that point, what are
• 58:15
  you really going to be getting from him?
• 58:16
  I, I don't know if Kodaisenga at this stage in the game is going
• 58:19
  to be able to give you that much because he just, he doesn't have
• 58:23
  the innings under his belt. Nate's locked into this Yankees
• 58:27
  Red Sox game. He doesn't have he doesn't have
• 58:30
  the Yeah, you're watching the video.
• 58:33
  It's ugly, dude. It's I hate watching injury
• 58:38
  highlights. It's not really hot.
• 58:40
  It's not the right word to use. It's not a highlight, but you
• 58:42
  get what I mean? I don't like watching replays of
• 58:44
  highlight or replays of highlights, Replays of injuries.
• 58:47
  What? Was he even doing?
• 58:48
  He's just trying to get off the mound to get out of the way.
• 58:50
  As he's supposed to do as a pitcher, if there's a fly ball
• 58:54
  that's approaching the the mound, you are responsible for
• 58:58
  getting out of the way. Which is what he did.
• 59:00
  So props to Kodai for doing what a pitcher supposed to do,
• 59:03
  however. Props to Kodai for not
• 59:05
  stretching at all before your start.
• 59:07
  Yeah, that's that's a little tough.
• 59:10
  Just do a toe, some toe touches man.
• 59:12
  That goes goes a long way. That was immediately my thought,
• 59:14
  though, I'm like, that just looks like a guy that didn't
• 59:17
  exactly get loosened up before the game 'cause I mean, he, it
• 59:21
  was like immediate that that first, that first step he took.
• 59:27
  I was like. What was it?
• 59:28
  I think it was. The point of that buddy?
• 59:31
  Was Green Greenlaw the the linebacker in the 49 for the
• 59:35
  49ers in the Super Bowl, like just running off the sideline
• 59:38
  tears? His Achilles didn't even get to
• 59:40
  play. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 59:42
  Just it's weird stuff. And the lower, like the lower
• 59:45
  half is just, it just takes a very subtle strange move.
• 59:48
  I was watching a a random video of like some guy sitting talking
• 59:54
  to Joe Rogan and he had like his knee up on the chair and he tore
• 59:58
  his MCL like guitarist meniscus just like right there, like
• 1:00:02
  sitting in a chair. Legs are weird man legs happen.
• 1:00:05
  It's just. Especially as you get older.
• 1:00:07
  Yeah. Once you hit 30, it's.
• 1:00:11
  It's all downhill. It's all downhill.
• 1:00:13
  Or uphill. Or uphill, depending on, you
• 1:00:16
  know, half empty, half a full country.
• 1:00:19
  That's fair. Yeah.
• 1:00:19
  Yeah. Good, Good point.
• 1:00:22
  Yeah. Tyler Fitzgerald, we'll close
• 1:00:24
  with this. Whoa, what a run for the San
• 1:00:28
  Francisco Giant. Eight home runs in 10 games.
• 1:00:32
  He's on an 11 game hitting streak after Saturday.
• 1:00:37
  Coming into Sunday, he was hitting 390 for the month of
• 1:00:41
  July 11. Next, 11 extra base hits, 15
• 1:00:45
  ribbies and 13 runs scored. And that was that's including a
• 1:00:49
  stretch of not not playing. I believe like you, he came up I
• 1:00:55
  think for like a cup of coffee played played a few games there
• 1:01:02
  because I think he was waiting out Nick Ahmed who they I want
• 1:01:06
  to say DFA put on waivers. So yeah, for like AI think for
• 1:01:13
  like a week, maybe more wasn't playing and then comes back July
• 1:01:16
  20th home run, home run, home run, home run.
• 1:01:20
  Days. No home run, no home run, two
• 1:01:23
  home runs, no home run and then a home run last night.
• 1:01:27
  This. Didn't hit one today, but
• 1:01:30
  continue the hitting streak. You added him today, somebody,
• 1:01:33
  didn't you? I sure did.
• 1:01:37
  But just AI mean you don't. You don't see runs like this too
• 1:01:42
  often. But is it just me or I feel I
• 1:01:45
  want to say like the last three to five years we've seen more
• 1:01:50
  guys or I feel like you hear these kinds of things more than
• 1:01:56
  you used to. No, like you just hear about
• 1:01:57
  these guys that kind of come up. And then no, I'm not saying
• 1:02:00
  eight home runs in 10 games. I'm not saying that that level.
• 1:02:03
  But I just feel like we hear about these guys where it's like
• 1:02:06
  who like what's his name Rhys Hines for the Reds guy comes up.
• 1:02:11
  It's like, what is where did this come from?
• 1:02:14
  And I feel like the list of the list of guys that you see go on
• 1:02:18
  little runs like that, who are guys that you maybe hadn't
• 1:02:23
  otherwise from a national perspective, sure.
• 1:02:25
  Just the casual National Baseball fan probably hasn't
• 1:02:29
  heard of. And you're like, what?
• 1:02:32
  Why this guy? What it does, it does happen,
• 1:02:35
  right? The the scary thing is, who's
• 1:02:36
  the guy with the Reds a few years ago?
• 1:02:39
  Oh, OK. A risk is like a Aquino.
• 1:02:42
  Aquino. Aquino.
• 1:02:43
  Aquino, Yeah, yeah. Aquino.
• 1:02:45
  Aquino, Yeah. A wrist tape?
• 1:02:48
  Quinoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:52
  He did. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:02:53
  And that in my in my head, that's what.
• 1:02:55
  But he's just like. Gone.
• 1:02:56
  You know what I mean? Like he's sick for two weeks and
• 1:02:58
  then just never hear from him again.
• 1:03:00
  I, I, that guy could be bagging groceries for all I know.
• 1:03:02
  I have no idea where he is now. So you just hope that it stays.
• 1:03:05
  You just hope that like, you know, you can, you can bottle
• 1:03:08
  this up and keep it rolling. So do the Giants.
• 1:03:14
  Well, I feel like. It does your fantasy team.
• 1:03:18
  Doesn't always end up well because I'm pretty sure the guy
• 1:03:22
  I just mentioned Reese Hines, didn't he get option back to
• 1:03:24
  triple AI want to say? Well.
• 1:03:33
  I mean never. I mean, you, you reach the
• 1:03:36
  mountain top that quick, you put on that kind of show.
• 1:03:39
  There's only one way to go after that.
• 1:03:41
  It doesn't end up well, I I'll be honest with you, I thought we
• 1:03:45
  were going to get some or some trades taking place during this
• 1:03:49
  pod. It was kind of strange.
• 1:03:50
  I was wanting to hit the button. I was wanting to hit the button
• 1:03:55
  but. Just give it.
• 1:03:56
  Just give it about 7 minutes after we hop off.
• 1:04:00
  Yep, in in classic three to take fashion we'll and you know,
• 1:04:05
  quite honestly, they'll probably be the biggest trade of the
• 1:04:07
  deadline. It'll happen 12 minutes after we
• 1:04:12
  we hop off here. So be looking forward to that.
• 1:04:14
  We'll be talking about that deal and all the other ones to come
• 1:04:19
  on Wednesday. Trade deadline is Tuesday.
• 1:04:22
  So we'll be doing a little bit of a wrap up once the fallout,
• 1:04:26
  you know, once the dust settles because as, as you know, every
• 1:04:29
  year you get the deadline deal, you get the last minute deal,
• 1:04:32
  but then you get the deals that that trickle in minutes, maybe
• 1:04:36
  even hours after. The favorite dude, Greg
• 1:04:38
  Amsinger, just, Oh yeah, rattling them off.
• 1:04:41
  It's my favorite. I love it.
• 1:04:44
  So yeah, we'll be we'll be wrapping up everything that
• 1:04:47
  happens. Trade deadline related on
• 1:04:50
  Wednesday, episode 455. Be sure to check that out.
• 1:04:53
  Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, subscribe to the pod and come
• 1:04:59
  hang out with us on on the on on the on the stream on Wednesday
• 1:05:03
  'cause as if you're new. This is this is something we do
• 1:05:08
  now, like we lot. We do these podcasts live now
• 1:05:12
  and then we we upload. We obviously upload the the
• 1:05:14
  audio after the fact, but we appreciate those of you in the
• 1:05:17
  live right now that are listening always and taking it
• 1:05:21
  in as it's happening. So be sure to it'll probably be
• 1:05:25
  some somewhat at the same time on Wednesday, 7-8 sometime in
• 1:05:29
  there. We'll see what next Nate's work
• 1:05:32
  schedule allows for. But we'll be, we'll be, as I
• 1:05:36
  mentioned, recap and all things trade deadline Wednesday.
• 1:05:38
  So come hang out with us. Yeah.
• 1:05:42
  Other other than that though, I don't have much else.
• 1:05:46
  So Nate, take it away. Barring an epic collapse of the
• 1:05:53
  Yankee bullpen, which is not out of the picture, how do you feel
• 1:05:58
  about how do you feel about, you know, needing to go win three
• 1:06:05
  out of the three out of the next 4 in order to win this bet?
• 1:06:09
  Are you nervous? Are you feeling OK?
• 1:06:11
  Should be up two games to one. We should have won game two.
• 1:06:14
  This game's throw away. Whatever.
• 1:06:15
  I don't care. The whole Sunday Sox thing is
• 1:06:18
  out the window. I think we've lost the last two
• 1:06:20
  Sundays after going I think 15 and two on Sundays this year.
• 1:06:25
  So that's whatever. That's out of dead.
• 1:06:28
  That's dead, but should have won game one, should have won game
• 1:06:32
  two. But you know what, we'll go on
• 1:06:33
  to the Bronx. We'll take three or four and
• 1:06:35
  I'll take this bet and I'll do it with a smile on my face.
• 1:06:38
  So that's that's big gap, big gap.
• 1:06:42
  To see see what these teams become in the next month and a
• 1:06:46
  half, not till the end of September, so.
• 1:06:50
  I hope we remember it at that point.
• 1:06:52
  Yeah, I know. I.
• 1:06:53
  Don't want to forget about the bet.
• 1:06:54
  And if you if you don't know what bet we're talking about,
• 1:06:56
  there's going to be some some rather embarrassing shirts.
• 1:07:01
  Well, the shirt the shirts idea is already cooked up, but only
• 1:07:04
  one of us is going to be wearing the shirt.
• 1:07:05
  The loser is going to be wearing the shirt and they're they're,
• 1:07:08
  they're not exactly the most, I don't know, just it's tough.
• 1:07:17
  Look, it's not, it's not the first shirt you'd pull out of
• 1:07:20
  the closet to wear. I'll just say that.
• 1:07:22
  Definitely not, but an excellent, excellent idea.
• 1:07:25
  So we'll see. And a donation to the the
• 1:07:29
  opponent's respective teams like the the team's foundation.
• 1:07:32
  Yeah, yeah. So.
• 1:07:34
  We'll see. We'll see how it goes.
• 1:07:37
  All right, that's all I got. Awesome.
• 1:07:41
  Appreciate you guys. Don't go chasing curveballs.
• 1:07:44
  We love you all as always. Looking forward to talking more
• 1:07:45
  baseball with you guys soon. Until next time, stay filthy.
