  Caputo

• 1:34
  for
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  next
• 1:35
  hour
• 1:36
  here
• 1:37
  on
• 1:37
  wgbb.
• 1:39
  So
• 1:39
  I
• 1:39
  didn't
• 1:39
  watch
• 1:40
  it
• 1:40
  today,
• 1:40
  but
• 1:42
  at
• 1:42
  least
• 1:42
  not
• 1:42
  live.
• 1:43
  But
• 1:43
  each
• 1:44
  of
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  five
• 1:45
  men
• 1:46
  that
• 1:46
  were
• 1:47
  brought
• 1:47
  into
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  hall
• 1:48
  of
• 1:48
  Fame
• 1:48
  brought
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  different
• 1:49
  message.
• 1:50
  Two
• 1:51
  of
• 1:51
  them
• 1:52
  had
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  be
• 1:54
  had
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  speech
• 1:55
  done
• 1:55
  by
• 1:56
  a
• 1:56
  family
• 1:56
  member.
• 1:56
  So
• 1:57
  Dick
• 1:57
  Allen,
• 1:57
  his
• 1:57
  wife,
• 1:58
  was
• 1:58
  able
• 1:58
  to
• 1:58
  enjoy
• 1:58
  the
• 1:59
  moment,
• 1:59
  which
• 1:59
  I
• 1:59
  thought
• 1:59
  was
• 1:59
  great
• 2:00
  for
• 2:01
  me.
• 2:01
  Dave
• 2:01
  Parker
• 2:01
  was
• 2:02
  just
• 2:02
  a
• 2:02
  year
• 2:02
  late.
• 2:02
  Forget
• 2:03
  about
• 2:03
  him
• 2:03
  dying
• 2:03
  a
• 2:03
  month
• 2:04
  ago.
• 2:04
  He
• 2:04
  should
• 2:04
  have
• 2:04
  been
• 2:05
  in
• 2:05
  a
• 2:05
  year
• 2:05
  ago.
• 2:06
  This
• 2:06
  way
• 2:06
  he
• 2:06
  could
• 2:06
  have
• 2:07
  given
• 2:07
  his
• 2:07
  own
• 2:07
  speech,
• 2:07
  whether
• 2:08
  it
• 2:08
  be
• 2:08
  from
• 2:08
  a
• 2:08
  wheelchair.
• 2:09
  But
• 2:09
  unfortunately,
• 2:11
  Parkinson's
• 2:12
  disease
• 2:12
  and
• 2:12
  all
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  complications
• 2:14
  took
• 2:14
  his
• 2:15
  life
• 2:15
  recently.
• 2:16
  Going
• 2:16
  to
• 2:16
  get
• 2:16
  to
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  next
• 2:17
  one,
• 2:17
  Billy
• 2:17
  Wagner.
• 2:18
  Right
• 2:18
  now
• 2:18
  I
• 2:18
  am
• 2:19
  wearing
• 2:19
  my
• 2:19
  New
• 2:20
  York
• 2:20
  Mets
• 2:21
  Billy
• 2:21
  Wagner
• 2:21
  jersey.
• 2:22
  Yes,
• 2:22
  that's
• 2:23
  old.
• 2:23
  It's
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  T
• 2:24
  shirt,
• 2:24
  actually.
• 2:25
  But
• 2:26
  this
• 2:26
  guy
• 2:26
  turned
• 2:26
  lefty
• 2:27
  only
• 2:27
  after
• 2:27
  breaking
• 2:28
  his
• 2:28
  arm
• 2:28
  playing
• 2:29
  football
• 2:29
  with
• 2:29
  his
• 2:29
  friends.
• 2:29
  He
• 2:30
  actually
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  righty.
• 2:31
  Think
• 2:31
  about
• 2:32
  this
• 2:32
  guy.
• 2:32
  This
• 2:32
  guy's
• 2:33
  throwing
• 2:33
  100
• 2:33
  miles
• 2:34
  an
• 2:34
  hour
• 2:34
  with
• 2:34
  his
• 2:34
  left
• 2:34
  hand,
• 2:35
  which
• 2:35
  was
• 2:35
  not
• 2:36
  his
• 2:36
  original
• 2:36
  hand
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  he
• 2:37
  threw
• 2:37
  with
• 2:38
  probably
• 2:38
  something
• 2:38
  we
• 2:39
  could
• 2:39
  break
• 2:39
  down
• 2:40
  with
• 2:40
  a
• 2:40
  guy
• 2:40
  like
• 2:41
  Jonathan
• 2:41
  Mayo
• 2:41
  tonight.
• 2:42
  The
• 2:42
  next
• 2:43
  guy
• 2:43
  up
• 2:43
  was
• 2:44
  CC
• 2:44
  Sabathia,
• 2:45
  Yankee
• 2:45
  Brewer,
• 2:47
  and
• 2:48
  he
• 2:48
  tried
• 2:48
  to
• 2:48
  think
• 2:49
  of
• 2:49
  his
• 2:49
  dad
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  all
• 2:50
  his
• 2:51
  dad
• 2:51
  did
• 2:51
  at
• 2:51
  the
• 2:52
  times
• 2:53
  when
• 2:53
  he
• 2:53
  needed
• 2:53
  him
• 2:54
  most,
• 2:54
  when
• 2:54
  he
• 2:55
  tried
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  make
• 2:55
  it
• 2:55
  to
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  major
• 2:56
  leagues.
• 2:57
  But
• 2:57
  during
• 2:57
  that
• 2:58
  time,
• 2:58
  he
• 2:58
  actually
• 2:59
  thanked
• 2:59
  all
• 2:59
  of
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  important
• 3:00
  women
• 3:00
  in
• 3:01
  his
• 3:01
  life,
• 3:01
  his
• 3:01
  mom,
• 3:02
  aunts,
• 3:02
  daughter,
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  told
• 3:04
  people
• 3:04
  to
• 3:05
  go
• 3:05
  home
• 3:05
  and
• 3:06
  give
• 3:06
  those
• 3:07
  people
• 3:07
  a
• 3:07
  hug
• 3:07
  and
• 3:07
  tell
• 3:07
  them
• 3:07
  you
• 3:08
  love
• 3:08
  them
• 3:08
  because
• 3:08
  they're
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  ones
• 3:09
  who
• 3:09
  make
• 3:09
  the
• 3:10
  sacrifices,
• 3:10
  make
• 3:11
  you
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  dinner,
• 3:12
  make
• 3:12
  sure
• 3:12
  you
• 3:12
  have
• 3:13
  clothes
• 3:13
  that
• 3:13
  are
• 3:13
  clean.
• 3:14
  They
• 3:14
  do
• 3:14
  all
• 3:14
  the
• 3:15
  little
• 3:15
  things
• 3:15
  behind
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  scene.
• 3:16
  I
• 3:16
  will
• 3:17
  argue
• 3:17
  that
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  guys,
• 3:18
  some
• 3:18
  of
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  dads,
• 3:19
  do
• 3:19
  that
• 3:19
  as
• 3:19
  well.
• 3:20
  And
• 3:21
  lastly
• 3:21
  was
• 3:21
  Ichiro.
• 3:22
  Ichiro
• 3:23
  Suzuki
• 3:23
  came
• 3:24
  in
• 3:24
  and
• 3:26
  basically
• 3:26
  said
• 3:26
  that
• 3:26
  he
• 3:26
  didn't
• 3:27
  even
• 3:27
  know
• 3:27
  there
• 3:27
  was
• 3:27
  a
• 3:28
  National
• 3:28
  Baseball
• 3:29
  hall
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  fame
• 3:29
  until
• 3:30
  2001
• 3:30
  when
• 3:31
  he
• 3:31
  visited.
• 3:32
  And
• 3:32
  he
• 3:32
  worked
• 3:33
  hard
• 3:33
  every
• 3:33
  day
• 3:33
  in
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  offseason
• 3:34
  to
• 3:35
  be
• 3:35
  ready
• 3:35
  because
• 3:35
  he
• 3:36
  felt
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  fans
• 3:37
  deserved
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  see
• 3:38
  him
• 3:38
  on
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  field
• 3:39
  in
• 3:39
  top
• 3:39
  four
• 3:39
  form.
• 3:40
  And
• 3:40
  top
• 3:40
  form
• 3:40
  for
• 3:41
  him
• 3:41
  was,
• 3:42
  you
• 3:43
  know,
• 3:43
  making
• 3:43
  sure
• 3:43
  that
• 3:43
  in
• 3:44
  spring
• 3:44
  training
• 3:44
  he
• 3:44
  could
• 3:44
  always
• 3:45
  run
• 3:45
  out
• 3:45
  a
• 3:46
  base
• 3:46
  hit,
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  he
• 3:47
  could
• 3:47
  catch
• 3:47
  a
• 3:48
  fly
• 3:48
  ball.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  he
• 3:49
  brought
• 3:49
  a
• 3:50
  humidor
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  put
• 3:50
  his
• 3:50
  bats
• 3:51
  in
• 3:51
  there
• 3:51
  to
• 3:51
  make
• 3:51
  sure
• 3:52
  that
• 3:52
  his
• 3:52
  bats
• 3:53
  were
• 3:54
  in
• 3:54
  great
• 3:54
  shape.
• 3:55
  And
• 3:56
  then
• 3:56
  this
• 3:56
  guy,
• 3:56
  he
• 3:56
  joked
• 3:57
  a
• 3:57
  little
• 3:57
  bit
• 3:57
  about
• 3:57
  not
• 3:57
  even
• 3:57
  knowing
• 3:58
  who
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  Marlins
• 3:58
  were,
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  Miami
• 3:59
  Marlins
• 4:00
  were
• 4:00
  when
• 4:00
  they
• 4:01
  called
• 4:01
  him
• 4:01
  in
• 4:01
  2015.
• 4:02
  But
• 4:03
  first
• 4:04
  ballot
• 4:04
  hall
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  Famer
• 4:04
  Ichiro
• 4:05
  Suzuki
• 4:06
  deserves
• 4:06
  it.
• 4:07
  Billy
• 4:07
  Wagner
• 4:08
  on
• 4:08
  the
• 4:08
  other
• 4:08
  end
• 4:09
  wound
• 4:09
  up
• 4:10
  making
• 4:10
  it
• 4:10
  in
• 4:10
  his
• 4:11
  last
• 4:11
  year.
• 4:11
  Strangely
• 4:12
  enough,
• 4:12
  there
• 4:12
  are
• 4:13
  only,
• 4:13
  there
• 4:14
  were
• 4:14
  two
• 4:14
  lefties
• 4:15
  that
• 4:15
  made
• 4:15
  it,
• 4:15
  lefty
• 4:16
  pitchers
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  made
• 4:16
  it
• 4:16
  into
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  hall
• 4:17
  of
• 4:17
  Fame
• 4:17
  this
• 4:18
  weekend
• 4:18
  and
• 4:18
  There
• 4:18
  are
• 4:19
  only
• 4:19
  20
• 4:19
  lefty
• 4:20
  pitchers
• 4:20
  in
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  hall
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  Fame
• 4:22
  now.
• 4:24
  And
• 4:25
  just
• 4:25
  seems
• 4:25
  strange
• 4:26
  that
• 4:26
  over
• 4:26
  all
• 4:26
  these
• 4:26
  years
• 4:27
  we
• 4:27
  only
• 4:27
  had
• 4:27
  18
• 4:27
  other
• 4:28
  pitchers
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  dominate
• 4:30
  the
• 4:31
  mound.
• 4:32
  And,
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  know,
• 4:34
  they
• 4:34
  deserved
• 4:34
  it,
• 4:35
  these
• 4:35
  two
• 4:35
  going
• 4:35
  in,
• 4:36
  you
• 4:36
  know,
• 4:36
  one
• 4:36
  on
• 4:36
  maybe
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  first
• 4:37
  try
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  one
• 4:38
  on
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  last
• 4:38
  try.
• 4:39
  So
• 4:40
  as
• 4:40
  I
• 4:40
  said
• 4:40
  tonight,
• 4:40
  we're
• 4:41
  going
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  shortly
• 4:42
  be
• 4:42
  joined
• 4:42
  by
• 4:43
  Jonathan
• 4:43
  Mayo
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  mlbpipeline.com
• 4:46
  and
• 4:46
  then
• 4:47
  in
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  second
• 4:47
  half
• 4:48
  hour,
• 4:48
  we
• 4:49
  will
• 4:49
  be
• 4:49
  joined
• 4:49
  by
• 4:50
  Zach
• 4:50
  Scott
• 4:50
  to
• 4:51
  break
• 4:51
  down
• 4:52
  maybe
• 4:52
  some
• 4:53
  Mets,
• 4:53
  some
• 4:53
  Yankees,
• 4:54
  as
• 4:54
  far
• 4:54
  as,
• 4:54
  you
• 4:55
  know,
• 4:55
  where
• 4:55
  they're
• 4:56
  going
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  go
• 4:56
  with
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  trade
• 4:57
  deadline
• 4:58
  approaching.
• 4:59
  A
• 4:59
  lot
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  things
• 5:00
  going
• 5:00
  on
• 5:01
  in
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  world
• 5:01
  of
• 5:01
  sports,
• 5:02
  especially
• 5:03
  looking
• 5:03
  at
• 5:03
  the
• 5:04
  New
• 5:04
  York
• 5:04
  Yankees
• 5:05
  because
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  Yankees
• 5:07
  might
• 5:07
  have
• 5:07
  gone
• 5:07
  from
• 5:08
  trying
• 5:08
  to
• 5:10
  go
• 5:10
  out
• 5:10
  and
• 5:10
  get
• 5:11
  a
• 5:11
  player
• 5:11
  or
• 5:11
  two
• 5:12
  to
• 5:12
  put
• 5:12
  them
• 5:12
  over
• 5:12
  the
• 5:13
  top
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  having
• 5:14
  a
• 5:14
  scare
• 5:14
  of
• 5:14
  whether
• 5:15
  or
• 5:15
  not
• 5:16
  they
• 5:16
  would
• 5:16
  actually
• 5:16
  be
• 5:17
  contending
• 5:17
  for
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  wild
• 5:18
  card.
• 5:19
  And
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  think
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  jury's
• 5:21
  still
• 5:21
  out
• 5:21
  as
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  where
• 5:22
  they
• 5:22
  go.
• 5:22
  But,
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  know,
• 5:24
  the
• 5:25
  news
• 5:25
  that
• 5:25
  Aaron
• 5:25
  Judge
• 5:26
  was
• 5:27
  hurt
• 5:27
  was
• 5:28
  first
• 5:28
  off
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  problem
• 5:29
  for
• 5:29
  them.
• 5:29
  But
• 5:30
  then
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  Second
• 5:30
  part
• 5:31
  was,
• 5:31
  at
• 5:31
  least
• 5:32
  he's
• 5:32
  not
• 5:32
  going
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  need
• 5:33
  Tommy
• 5:33
  John
• 5:34
  surgery.
• 5:35
  He's
• 5:35
  going
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  rest,
• 5:36
  take
• 5:36
  10
• 5:36
  days
• 5:37
  off,
• 5:37
  maybe
• 5:38
  come
• 5:38
  back
• 5:38
  as
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  DH
• 5:39
  for
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  little
• 5:39
  while,
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  then
• 5:40
  after
• 5:41
  that,
• 5:42
  hopefully
• 5:42
  he
• 5:42
  can
• 5:42
  play
• 5:42
  the
• 5:43
  outfield.
• 5:43
  But
• 5:43
  remember,
• 5:43
  that
• 5:44
  is
• 5:44
  a
• 5:44
  strain
• 5:45
  on
• 5:45
  his
• 5:45
  arm.
• 5:46
  So
• 5:46
  I
• 5:46
  think
• 5:46
  that's
• 5:46
  going
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  a
• 5:48
  tough
• 5:48
  situation
• 5:49
  for
• 5:49
  him
• 5:50
  as
• 5:50
  he
• 5:50
  puts
• 5:51
  himself
• 5:51
  back
• 5:51
  in
• 5:51
  there.
• 5:51
  Because
• 5:52
  think
• 5:52
  about
• 5:52
  this.
• 5:53
  Now
• 5:55
  they're
• 5:56
  going
• 5:56
  to
• 5:56
  possibly
• 5:56
  have
• 5:57
  to
• 5:57
  put
• 5:57
  Giancarlo
• 5:58
  Stanton
• 5:58
  in
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  outfield,
• 5:58
  which
• 5:59
  he
• 5:59
  hasn't
• 5:59
  done
• 5:59
  in
• 5:59
  two
• 6:00
  years.
• 6:00
  And
• 6:00
  it's
• 6:01
  usually
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  place
• 6:02
  where
• 6:02
  some
• 6:02
  of
• 6:02
  those
• 6:03
  injuries
• 6:03
  occur.
• 6:04
  He's
• 6:04
  not
• 6:04
  a
• 6:04
  great
• 6:04
  runner
• 6:05
  to
• 6:05
  begin
• 6:05
  with,
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  he's
• 6:06
  injured
• 6:07
  even
• 6:07
  when
• 6:07
  he
• 6:07
  just
• 6:07
  swings
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  bat,
• 6:08
  especially
• 6:09
  with
• 6:09
  those
• 6:09
  tennis
• 6:09
  elbows
• 6:10
  and
• 6:11
  things
• 6:11
  like
• 6:11
  that.
• 6:12
  So
• 6:12
  we'll
• 6:12
  have
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  see.
• 6:15
  So
• 6:15
  at
• 6:15
  this
• 6:16
  point,
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  Mets
• 6:16
  are
• 6:17
  in
• 6:17
  first
• 6:17
  place,
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  they're
• 6:18
  going
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  have
• 6:18
  to
• 6:19
  make
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  couple
• 6:19
  of
• 6:19
  moves
• 6:19
  to
• 6:20
  get
• 6:20
  themselves
• 6:20
  maybe
• 6:21
  another
• 6:21
  center
• 6:21
  fielder,
• 6:22
  maybe
• 6:22
  get
• 6:22
  themselves
• 6:23
  another
• 6:24
  pitcher,
• 6:24
  whether
• 6:25
  that
• 6:25
  be
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  bullpen
• 6:26
  arm,
• 6:28
  maybe
• 6:29
  get
• 6:29
  another
• 6:29
  starter
• 6:30
  and
• 6:30
  move
• 6:30
  Clay
• 6:30
  Holmes
• 6:30
  to
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  bullpen.
• 6:31
  We'll
• 6:31
  see
• 6:31
  kind
• 6:32
  of
• 6:32
  where
• 6:32
  the
• 6:33
  Mets
• 6:33
  fit
• 6:33
  at
• 6:33
  that
• 6:34
  point.
• 6:35
  We
• 6:35
  also
• 6:35
  had
• 6:35
  some
• 6:36
  bad
• 6:36
  news
• 6:36
  in
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  world
• 6:37
  of
• 6:38
  wrestling
• 6:38
  as
• 6:39
  we
• 6:39
  lost
• 6:40
  Hulk
• 6:40
  Hogan
• 6:41
  at
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  age
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  71
• 6:43
  this
• 6:44
  week.
• 6:44
  And
• 6:44
  I
• 6:45
  think
• 6:45
  that
• 6:45
  just
• 6:46
  kind
• 6:46
  of
• 6:46
  let
• 6:46
  us
• 6:47
  all
• 6:47
  know
• 6:47
  that,
• 6:47
  hey,
• 6:48
  we're
• 6:48
  getting
• 6:48
  older,
• 6:48
  you
• 6:48
  know,
• 6:49
  If
• 6:49
  Hulk
• 6:49
  Hogan's
• 6:49
  71
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  he's
• 6:50
  dying,
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  know,
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  these
• 6:52
  guys
• 6:52
  are
• 6:52
  the
• 6:52
  guys
• 6:53
  that
• 6:53
  we
• 6:53
  looked
• 6:53
  up
• 6:53
  to,
• 6:53
  well,
• 6:54
  where
• 6:54
  are
• 6:54
  we
• 6:54
  at?
• 6:55
  So,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  know,
• 6:57
  I'd
• 6:57
  like
• 6:58
  to
• 6:58
  talk
• 6:58
  a
• 6:58
  little
• 6:58
  bit
• 6:58
  about
• 6:59
  that,
• 6:59
  you
• 6:59
  know,
• 6:59
  at
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  end
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  hour,
• 7:01
  and
• 7:02
  then
• 7:02
  maybe
• 7:02
  we
• 7:02
  can
• 7:04
  discuss
• 7:04
  some
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  his
• 7:05
  greatest
• 7:05
  moments.
• 7:06
  So,
• 7:06
  again,
• 7:06
  we
• 7:07
  lost
• 7:07
  Hulk
• 7:07
  Hogan
• 7:08
  this
• 7:08
  week,
• 7:09
  along
• 7:09
  with
• 7:09
  some
• 7:09
  others,
• 7:11
  and
• 7:12
  we'll
• 7:12
  be
• 7:13
  diving
• 7:13
  into
• 7:13
  maybe
• 7:14
  some
• 7:14
  of
• 7:14
  his
• 7:14
  greatest
• 7:15
  matches,
• 7:15
  greatest
• 7:15
  moments,
• 7:16
  people
• 7:16
  that
• 7:16
  he
• 7:17
  went
• 7:17
  up
• 7:17
  against
• 7:19
  as
• 7:20
  we
• 7:20
  finish
• 7:20
  out
• 7:21
  the
• 7:22
  first
• 7:22
  half
• 7:22
  hour.
• 7:23
  Okay,
• 7:24
  so
• 7:27
  we
• 7:27
  have
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  trade
• 7:28
  deadline
• 7:28
  coming
• 7:29
  up,
• 7:29
  and
• 7:29
  I
• 7:30
  think
• 7:30
  when
• 7:30
  you
• 7:30
  think
• 7:30
  about
• 7:30
  it,
• 7:32
  most
• 7:32
  teams
• 7:34
  don't
• 7:35
  decide
• 7:35
  that
• 7:35
  they
• 7:36
  are
• 7:36
  sellers
• 7:37
  or
• 7:37
  buyers
• 7:38
  until
• 7:38
  we
• 7:38
  get
• 7:38
  close
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  July
• 7:39
  31
• 7:40
  deadline.
• 7:40
  So
• 7:41
  one
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  things
• 7:41
  I'd
• 7:41
  like
• 7:41
  to
• 7:42
  discuss
• 7:42
  is
• 7:43
  can
• 7:43
  we
• 7:43
  move
• 7:43
  that
• 7:43
  deadline
• 7:44
  back
• 7:44
  with
• 7:44
  teams
• 7:45
  thinking
• 7:45
  now
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  extra
• 7:46
  wild
• 7:46
  card,
• 7:47
  they're
• 7:48
  still
• 7:48
  in
• 7:48
  it.
• 7:49
  You
• 7:49
  know,
• 7:50
  maybe
• 7:50
  August
• 7:50
  15th
• 7:51
  becomes
• 7:51
  the
• 7:51
  date.
• 7:52
  I
• 7:52
  don't
• 7:52
  know
• 7:52
  why
• 7:52
  I
• 7:52
  should
• 7:52
  say
• 7:53
  15
• 7:53
  extra
• 7:54
  days,
• 7:54
  but
• 7:55
  maybe
• 7:55
  we
• 7:55
  move
• 7:55
  it
• 7:55
  back
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  little
• 7:56
  bit.
• 7:56
  This
• 7:56
  way
• 7:56
  it
• 7:56
  gives
• 7:57
  teams
• 7:57
  a
• 7:57
  chance
• 7:58
  to
• 7:58
  figure
• 7:58
  out
• 7:58
  whether
• 7:59
  or
• 7:59
  not
• 7:59
  they're
• 7:59
  sellers
• 8:00
  or
• 8:01
  buyers
• 8:01
  or
• 8:02
  they're
• 8:02
  just
• 8:02
  going
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  take
• 8:02
  a
• 8:03
  chance
• 8:03
  because
• 8:03
  there's
• 8:04
  teams
• 8:04
  that
• 8:04
  are
• 8:04
  going
• 8:04
  on
• 8:04
  hot
• 8:05
  streaks
• 8:05
  and
• 8:05
  whether
• 8:06
  or
• 8:06
  not
• 8:06
  they
• 8:07
  play
• 8:07
  well
• 8:08
  this
• 8:08
  week
• 8:09
  determines
• 8:09
  whether
• 8:09
  or
• 8:10
  not
• 8:10
  Thursday
• 8:10
  night
• 8:10
  they're
• 8:11
  going
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  sell
• 8:11
  one
• 8:11
  of
• 8:11
  their
• 8:12
  big
• 8:12
  stars,
• 8:13
  whether
• 8:13
  they're
• 8:13
  going
• 8:13
  to
• 8:13
  get
• 8:13
  rid
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  one
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  their
• 8:15
  big
• 8:15
  prospects.
• 8:16
  So
• 8:16
  one
• 8:16
  of
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  things
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  would
• 8:17
  suggest
• 8:17
  to
• 8:18
  Major
• 8:18
  League
• 8:18
  Baseball
• 8:18
  is
• 8:19
  now
• 8:19
  that
• 8:19
  you
• 8:19
  have
• 8:19
  so
• 8:19
  many
• 8:19
  wild
• 8:20
  cards
• 8:20
  and
• 8:20
  so
• 8:20
  many
• 8:20
  teams
• 8:21
  are
• 8:21
  actually
• 8:21
  going
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  make
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  playoffs,
• 8:22
  how
• 8:22
  about
• 8:23
  we
• 8:23
  push
• 8:23
  it
• 8:23
  back
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  allow
• 8:24
  these
• 8:25
  teams
• 8:25
  to
• 8:25
  fight
• 8:25
  it
• 8:25
  out
• 8:26
  a
• 8:26
  little
• 8:26
  bit
• 8:26
  longer
• 8:27
  in
• 8:27
  order
• 8:27
  to
• 8:27
  have
• 8:28
  a
• 8:28
  chance
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  decide
• 8:30
  whether
• 8:30
  or
• 8:30
  not
• 8:30
  they're
• 8:31
  going
• 8:31
  to
• 8:31
  keep
• 8:31
  some
• 8:31
  of
• 8:31
  their
• 8:32
  bigger
• 8:32
  stars?
• 8:33
  The
• 8:34
  second
• 8:34
  part
• 8:34
  about
• 8:34
  that
• 8:34
  is
• 8:35
  what
• 8:36
  makes
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  prospect
• 8:38
  kind
• 8:38
  of
• 8:38
  untouchable,
• 8:39
  somebody
• 8:40
  that,
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  know,
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  can't
• 8:42
  give
• 8:42
  away
• 8:42
  at
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  trade
• 8:43
  deadline?
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  think
• 8:44
  that
• 8:44
  would
• 8:45
  be
• 8:46
  another
• 8:46
  question
• 8:46
  that
• 8:47
  comes
• 8:47
  up
• 8:47
  is,
• 8:47
  you
• 8:48
  know,
• 8:48
  could
• 8:48
  a
• 8:48
  guy
• 8:49
  like
• 8:49
  Spencer
• 8:49
  Jones
• 8:50
  that
• 8:50
  the
• 8:50
  New
• 8:50
  York
• 8:51
  Yankees
• 8:51
  have
• 8:52
  be
• 8:52
  a
• 8:52
  guy
• 8:52
  that
• 8:53
  no
• 8:53
  matter
• 8:53
  what
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  Yankees
• 8:55
  are
• 8:55
  at,
• 8:56
  they're
• 8:56
  not
• 8:56
  going
• 8:56
  to
• 8:57
  get
• 8:57
  rid
• 8:57
  of
• 8:57
  them?
• 8:57
  Because
• 8:57
  you
• 8:58
  have
• 8:58
  guys
• 8:58
  like
• 8:59
  Paul
• 8:59
  Skeens
• 9:00
  who
• 9:00
  I
• 9:00
  would
• 9:00
  consider
• 9:01
  a
• 9:01
  couple
• 9:01
  of
• 9:01
  years
• 9:01
  ago
• 9:02
  untouchable.
• 9:03
  You
• 9:03
  get
• 9:03
  a
• 9:03
  couple
• 9:03
  years
• 9:04
  under
• 9:04
  your
• 9:04
  belt
• 9:04
  and
• 9:04
  all
• 9:04
  of
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  sudden
• 9:05
  teams
• 9:05
  like
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  Pittsburgh
• 9:06
  Pirates
• 9:07
  are
• 9:07
  thinking
• 9:07
  about
• 9:08
  whether
• 9:08
  or
• 9:09
  not
• 9:09
  they're
• 9:09
  going
• 9:09
  to
• 9:09
  get
• 9:10
  rid
• 9:10
  of
• 9:10
  one
• 9:10
  of
• 9:11
  those
• 9:11
  players.
• 9:12
  So
• 9:12
  I
• 9:12
  think
• 9:12
  those
• 9:12
  questions
• 9:13
  come
• 9:13
  about
• 9:14
  as
• 9:14
  to
• 9:14
  whether
• 9:14
  or
• 9:14
  not
• 9:15
  someone
• 9:15
  is
• 9:16
  untouchable
• 9:17
  when
• 9:17
  the
• 9:18
  trade
• 9:18
  deadline
• 9:18
  comes
• 9:19
  about.
• 9:20
  So
• 9:20
  we're
• 9:20
  at
• 9:20
  the
• 9:21
  point
• 9:21
  in
• 9:21
  the
• 9:21
  year
• 9:22
  where
• 9:22
  teams
• 9:23
  are
• 9:23
  looking
• 9:23
  to
• 9:24
  add
• 9:24
  an
• 9:24
  extra
• 9:25
  player,
• 9:25
  maybe
• 9:26
  put
• 9:26
  on
• 9:27
  an
• 9:27
  outfielder,
• 9:28
  a
• 9:28
  25th
• 9:29
  player,
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  26th
• 9:30
  player,
• 9:30
  and
• 9:31
  they're
• 9:31
  deciding
• 9:32
  whether
• 9:32
  or
• 9:32
  not
• 9:32
  it's
• 9:33
  worth
• 9:33
  getting,
• 9:34
  giving
• 9:34
  up
• 9:34
  a
• 9:35
  big
• 9:35
  prospect.
• 9:36
  So
• 9:36
  at
• 9:36
  this
• 9:37
  point,
• 9:37
  with
• 9:37
  no
• 9:37
  further
• 9:38
  ado,
• 9:38
  we're
• 9:38
  going
• 9:38
  to
• 9:39
  welcome
• 9:39
  in
• 9:40
  our
• 9:40

• 9:40

  the

  mlb.com,
• 9:43
  mlbpipeline.com,
• 9:45
  who's
• 9:45
  a
• 9:45
  senior
• 9:45
  writer
• 9:45
  for
• 9:46
  mlb.com
• 9:49
  he
• 9:49
  joined
• 9:50
  them
• 9:50
  in

  1999,
• 9:51
  covering

  all

  facets

• 9:52
  studio
• 9:53
  analysis,

  sideline

  reporting.
• 9:55
  But
• 9:55
  his
• 9:55
  focus
• 9:56
  has
• 9:56
  mainly
• 9:56
  been
• 9:56
  on

  the
• 9:57
  minor
• 9:57
  leagues
• 9:57
  and
• 9:57
  draft
• 9:58
  coverage.
• 9:58
  He
• 9:59
  also
• 9:59
  did
• 9:59
  a
• 9:59
  little
• 9:59

  Chris,

  Wow.
• 10:13
  Yes,

  long

  time
• 10:14
  ago.
• 10:16
  So
• 10:16
  Jonathan,
• 10:17
  this
• 10:17
  time
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  the
• 10:17
  year
• 10:17
  people
• 10:18
  are
• 10:18
  talking
• 10:18
  trade
• 10:18
  deadline
• 10:19
  and
• 10:19
  a
• 10:19
  lot
• 10:19
  of
• 10:19
  names
• 10:20
  that
• 10:20
  come
• 10:20
  up
• 10:21
  are
• 10:21
  prospects,
• 10:21
  guys
• 10:22
  that
• 10:22
  people
• 10:23
  want
• 10:23
  to
• 10:24
  decide
• 10:24
  whether
• 10:24
  or
• 10:24
  not
• 10:24
  it's
• 10:25
  worth
• 10:25
  giving
• 10:26
  up
• 10:26
  in
• 10:26
  order
• 10:26
  to
• 10:27
  get
• 10:27
  someone
• 10:28
  of
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  short
• 10:28
  term
• 10:29
  value.
• 10:30
  First
• 10:30
  off,
• 10:31
  can
• 10:31
  you
• 10:31
  explain
• 10:31
  what
• 10:31
  your
• 10:32
  role
• 10:32
  is
• 10:32
  right
• 10:33
  now
• 10:33
  and
• 10:34
  what
• 10:34
  you
• 10:34
  do
• 10:35
  to
• 10:35
  gather
• 10:35
  information
• 10:36
  for
• 10:37
  some
• 10:37
  of
• 10:37
  these
• 10:38
  organizations@mlb.com?
• 10:40
  Sure.
• 10:42
  So
• 10:42
  since
• 10:42
  2003,
• 10:43
  I've
• 10:43
  been
• 10:44
  focused
• 10:44
  on
• 10:45
  minor
• 10:45
  league
• 10:45
  prospects
• 10:46
  in
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  draft.
• 10:47
  So
• 10:48
  it's
• 10:48
  not
• 10:48
  just
• 10:48
  me.
• 10:49
  We
• 10:49
  have
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  whole
• 10:49
  team
• 10:49
  in
• 10:49
  MLB
• 10:50
  Pipeline,
• 10:51
  but
• 10:52
  the
• 10:52
  three
• 10:52
  of
• 10:52
  us,
• 10:52
  myself,
• 10:53
  Jim
• 10:53
  Kalis
• 10:54
  and
• 10:54
  Sam
• 10:54
  Dykster,
• 10:55
  we
• 10:55
  do
• 10:56
  all
• 10:56
  30
• 10:57
  or
• 10:57
  we
• 10:57
  oversee
• 10:58
  all
• 10:58
  30
• 10:58
  of
• 10:58
  the
• 10:59
  top
• 10:59
  30
• 10:59
  ranking
• 11:00
  prospect
• 11:01
  rankings
• 11:01
  in
• 11:02
  the
• 11:02
  overall
• 11:02
  top
• 11:02
  100.
• 11:04
  We
• 11:04
  just
• 11:04
  did
• 11:04
  a
• 11:05
  kind
• 11:06
  of
• 11:06
  light
• 11:07
  facelift
• 11:07
  update
• 11:08
  of
• 11:08
  the
• 11:08
  team
• 11:09
  list
• 11:09
  so
• 11:09
  they're
• 11:10
  a
• 11:10
  little
• 11:10
  bit
• 11:10
  more
• 11:10
  relevant
• 11:11
  for
• 11:12
  the
• 11:12
  trade
• 11:12
  deadline,
• 11:13
  which
• 11:13
  is
• 11:13
  coming
• 11:14
  up
• 11:15
  because
• 11:15
  we've
• 11:16
  found
• 11:16
  over
• 11:16
  the
• 11:16
  years
• 11:17
  someone
• 11:18
  gets
• 11:18
  traded
• 11:18
  from
• 11:18
  one
• 11:18
  team
• 11:19
  and
• 11:19
  they
• 11:19
  were
• 11:19
  going
• 11:20
  to
• 11:20
  move
• 11:20
  up
• 11:21
  when
• 11:22
  we
• 11:22
  do
• 11:22
  a
• 11:22
  RE
• 11:22
  rank
• 11:22
  in
• 11:22
  August,
• 11:24
  but
• 11:24
  their
• 11:25
  rankings
• 11:25
  are
• 11:25
  outdated.
• 11:25
  So
• 11:26
  we
• 11:26
  try
• 11:26
  to
• 11:26
  update
• 11:26
  those
• 11:27
  as
• 11:27
  we
• 11:27
  could.
• 11:28
  We'll
• 11:29
  do
• 11:29
  another
• 11:29
  ranking
• 11:29
  after
• 11:30
  the
• 11:30
  trade
• 11:30
  deadline.
• 11:31
  So
• 11:31
  that's
• 11:33
  the
• 11:33
  rankings
• 11:33
  are
• 11:33
  the
• 11:34
  bulk
• 11:35
  of
• 11:35
  what
• 11:35
  we
• 11:35
  do,
• 11:36
  and
• 11:36
  we
• 11:36
  do
• 11:37
  those
• 11:37
  by
• 11:37
  talking
• 11:37
  to
• 11:39
  farm
• 11:39
  directors,
• 11:40
  scouting
• 11:40
  directors,
• 11:42
  scouts,
• 11:42
  front
• 11:42
  office
• 11:43
  executives.
• 11:44
  How
• 11:45
  much
• 11:45
  traveling
• 11:45
  do
• 11:45
  you
• 11:45
  do
• 11:46
  in
• 11:46
  watching
• 11:47
  games
• 11:47
  and
• 11:47
  doing
• 11:49
  face
• 11:49
  to
• 11:49
  face?
• 11:49
  As
• 11:50
  far
• 11:50
  as
• 11:50
  seeing
• 11:50
  them
• 11:50
  in
• 11:50
  person.
• 11:52
  Not
• 11:52
  nearly
• 11:53
  as
• 11:53
  much
• 11:53
  as
• 11:53
  I
• 11:54
  would
• 11:54
  like
• 11:54
  or
• 11:54
  what
• 11:54
  people
• 11:54
  think.
• 11:55
  There
• 11:55
  just
• 11:55
  isn't
• 11:55
  time.
• 11:56
  You
• 11:56
  know,
• 11:56
  when
• 11:56
  you're
• 11:56
  overseeing
• 11:59
  the
• 11:59
  three
• 11:59
  of
• 11:59
  us
• 11:59
  are
• 11:59
  overseeing
• 12:00
  900
• 12:00
  prospects
• 12:02
  and
• 12:02
  then
• 12:02
  there's
• 12:02
  just
• 12:03
  a
• 12:03
  constant,
• 12:05
  I
• 12:06
  won't
• 12:06
  say
• 12:06
  barrage,
• 12:07
  steady
• 12:08
  flow
• 12:08
  of
• 12:08
  content
• 12:08
  that
• 12:08
  we
• 12:09
  have
• 12:09
  to
• 12:09
  put
• 12:09
  out.
• 12:10
  There
• 12:10
  just
• 12:11
  isn't
• 12:11
  time.
• 12:11
  We'll
• 12:12
  go
• 12:12
  to
• 12:12
  spring
• 12:12
  training
• 12:14
  for
• 12:15
  a
• 12:15
  couple
• 12:15
  weeks.
• 12:15
  We'll
• 12:16
  go
• 12:16
  to
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  Arizona
• 12:16
  Fall
• 12:17
  League
• 12:17
  for
• 12:17
  a
• 12:17
  couple
• 12:17
  weeks.
• 12:17
  That's
• 12:18
  a
• 12:18
  huge
• 12:18
  science
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  see
• 12:19
  a
• 12:19
  lot
• 12:19
  of
• 12:20
  top
• 12:20
  prospects.
• 12:20
  We
• 12:21
  go
• 12:21
  to
• 12:21
  the
• 12:21
  Futures
• 12:21
  Game
• 12:24
  and
• 12:24
  then
• 12:24
  there's
• 12:24
  draft
• 12:24
  coverage.
• 12:25
  There
• 12:26
  are
• 12:26
  some
• 12:27
  events
• 12:27
  here
• 12:27
  and
• 12:28
  there
• 12:28
  that
• 12:28
  we
• 12:28
  try
• 12:28
  to
• 12:28
  get
• 12:29
  to.
• 12:29
  And
• 12:29
  every
• 12:29
  year,
• 12:30
  like
• 12:30
  I'm
• 12:30
  going
• 12:30
  to
• 12:30
  get
• 12:30
  back
• 12:31
  to
• 12:31
  the
• 12:31
  Cape
• 12:31
  Cod
• 12:31
  League
• 12:32
  or
• 12:32
  I'm
• 12:33
  going
• 12:33
  to
• 12:33
  go
• 12:33
  to
• 12:33
  East
• 12:34
  Coast
• 12:34
  Pro
• 12:34
  Showcase,
• 12:34
  which
• 12:35
  is
• 12:35
  one
• 12:35
  of
• 12:35
  the
• 12:36
  best
• 12:36
  high
• 12:36
  school
• 12:37
  showcases
• 12:37
  over
• 12:38
  the
• 12:38
  summer
• 12:38
  for
• 12:38
  next
• 12:38
  year's
• 12:39
  draft
• 12:39
  class.
• 12:40
  And
• 12:41
  there
• 12:41
  never
• 12:41
  seems
• 12:42
  to
• 12:42
  be
• 12:42
  quite
• 12:42
  enough
• 12:42
  time.
• 12:43
  If
• 12:43
  I
• 12:44
  could
• 12:44
  clone
• 12:44
  myself,
• 12:44
  maybe
• 12:45
  I'd
• 12:45
  have
• 12:46
  a
• 12:46
  little
• 12:46
  better
• 12:46
  success
• 12:47
  in
• 12:47
  that
• 12:47
  regard.
• 12:47
  So
• 12:48
  we
• 12:48
  really
• 12:48
  rely
• 12:49
  on
• 12:49
  talking
• 12:50
  to
• 12:51
  people
• 12:52
  who
• 12:52
  are
• 12:52
  out
• 12:52
  there,
• 12:52
  the
• 12:52
  scouts
• 12:53
  and
• 12:53
  people
• 12:53
  like
• 12:53
  that
• 12:54
  who
• 12:55
  are
• 12:55
  there
• 12:55
  and
• 12:55
  evaluating
• 12:56
  these
• 12:56
  players
• 12:56
  day
• 12:56
  in
• 12:56
  and
• 12:57
  day
• 12:57
  out.
• 12:57
  Again,
• 12:58
  we're
• 12:58
  talking
• 12:58
  with
• 12:58
  Jonathan
• 12:59
  Mayo
• 12:59
  of
• 12:59
  MLB
• 13:00
  Pipeline.
• 13:01
  Jonathan,
• 13:02
  can
• 13:02
  you
• 13:02
  explain
• 13:02
  kind
• 13:03
  of
• 13:03
  how
• 13:03
  most
• 13:03
  prospects
• 13:04
  work
• 13:04
  their
• 13:04
  way
• 13:05
  through
• 13:05
  the
• 13:05
  minors
• 13:06
  from
• 13:06
  the
• 13:06
  draft
• 13:06
  all
• 13:07
  the
• 13:07
  way
• 13:07
  possibly
• 13:07
  to
• 13:08
  becoming
• 13:08
  a
• 13:08
  major
• 13:08
  leaguer?
• 13:10
  Sure.
• 13:11
  Obviously
• 13:11
  it
• 13:11
  depends
• 13:12
  on
• 13:12
  the
• 13:12
  prospect
• 13:13
  and
• 13:13
  how
• 13:13
  they
• 13:13
  enter
• 13:14
  pro
• 13:14
  ball
• 13:15
  and
• 13:15
  which
• 13:15
  organization
• 13:17
  it
• 13:17
  takes
• 13:18
  them.
• 13:19
  But
• 13:19
  There
• 13:19
  are
• 13:20
  four
• 13:21
  full
• 13:21
  season
• 13:22
  levels
• 13:22
  of
• 13:23
  minor
• 13:23
  league
• 13:23
  baseball.
• 13:24
  Single
• 13:24
  A,
• 13:24
  high
• 13:24
  A,
• 13:25
  double
• 13:25
  A,
• 13:25
  Triple
• 13:25
  A.
• 13:26
  And
• 13:26
  in
• 13:26
  a
• 13:26
  perfect
• 13:27
  world,
• 13:27
  the
• 13:27
  prospect
• 13:28
  touches
• 13:28
  most
• 13:29
  of
• 13:29
  those
• 13:29
  levels.
• 13:30
  There
• 13:31
  is
• 13:31
  the.
• 13:32
  Each
• 13:33
  team
• 13:33
  has
• 13:33
  a
• 13:34
  complex
• 13:35
  league,
• 13:36
  basically
• 13:37
  where
• 13:37
  their
• 13:37
  spring
• 13:38
  training
• 13:38
  facilities
• 13:38
  are
• 13:39
  in
• 13:39
  Arizona
• 13:39
  or
• 13:39
  Florida.
• 13:40
  And
• 13:40
  then
• 13:40
  there's
• 13:40
  a
• 13:41
  Dominican
• 13:41
  summer
• 13:41
  league.
• 13:42
  There
• 13:42
  used
• 13:42
  to
• 13:42
  be
• 13:42
  more,
• 13:46
  more
• 13:46
  incremental
• 13:47
  steps
• 13:47
  with
• 13:48
  places
• 13:48
  like
• 13:48
  the
• 13:49
  Pioneer
• 13:49
  League
• 13:49
  or
• 13:49
  the
• 13:49
  Appalachian
• 13:50
  League
• 13:50
  or
• 13:50
  the
• 13:50
  New
• 13:50
  York
• 13:50
  Penn
• 13:51
  League,
• 13:51
  but
• 13:52
  when
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  minor
• 13:53
  leagues
• 13:54
  were
• 13:54
  contracted,
• 13:55
  those
• 13:55
  teams
• 13:56
  were
• 13:57
  disposed
• 13:58
  of.
• 13:58
  And
• 13:58
  so
• 13:59
  there
• 13:59
  are
• 13:59
  lesser
• 14:00
  steps
• 14:01
  that
• 14:01
  players
• 14:01
  can
• 14:02
  take.
• 14:02
  So
• 14:04
  painting
• 14:05
  with
• 14:05
  a
• 14:05
  very
• 14:05
  broad
• 14:06
  brush.
• 14:07
  Someone
• 14:07
  drafted
• 14:08
  at
• 14:08
  a
• 14:08
  high
• 14:08
  school
• 14:08
  will
• 14:09
  likely
• 14:10
  start
• 14:10
  his
• 14:10
  first
• 14:10
  full
• 14:11
  season
• 14:11
  at
• 14:11
  that
• 14:12
  single
• 14:12
  A
• 14:12
  level.
• 14:12
  Sometimes
• 14:13
  he'll
• 14:13
  start
• 14:14
  lower
• 14:15
  down
• 14:15
  if
• 14:15
  they're
• 14:15
  a
• 14:16
  little
• 14:16
  more
• 14:16
  raw,
• 14:16
  and
• 14:17
  then
• 14:17
  they'll
• 14:17
  try
• 14:17
  to
• 14:18
  work
• 14:18
  their
• 14:18
  way
• 14:18
  up.
• 14:19
  College
• 14:19
  players
• 14:20
  are
• 14:20
  more
• 14:20
  likely
• 14:21
  to
• 14:21
  start
• 14:21
  at
• 14:21
  that
• 14:22
  high
• 14:22
  A
• 14:22
  level.
• 14:22
  A
• 14:23
  lot
• 14:23
  of
• 14:23
  them
• 14:23
  will
• 14:23
  jump
• 14:23
  right
• 14:24
  to
• 14:24
  AA
• 14:25
  and
• 14:26
  can
• 14:26
  move
• 14:26
  quickly.
• 14:26
  We've
• 14:27
  seen
• 14:27
  a
• 14:27
  lot
• 14:27
  of
• 14:27
  guys
• 14:27
  this
• 14:28
  year
• 14:28
  from
• 14:28
  last
• 14:28
  year's
• 14:29
  draft
• 14:29
  class
• 14:30
  not
• 14:30
  only
• 14:30
  make
• 14:31
  it
• 14:31
  to
• 14:31
  the
• 14:31
  big
• 14:31
  leagues,
• 14:31
  but
• 14:32
  be
• 14:33
  impactful
• 14:33
  and
• 14:33
  make
• 14:34
  big
• 14:34
  contributions
• 14:35
  right
• 14:35
  out
• 14:35
  of
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  gate.
• 14:36
  Right.
• 14:36
  So
• 14:36
  that's
• 14:37
  one
• 14:37
  of
• 14:37
  the
• 14:37
  questions
• 14:37
  I
• 14:37
  kind
• 14:38
  of
• 14:38
  had
• 14:38
  for
• 14:38
  you,
• 14:38
  is
• 14:39
  do
• 14:39
  college
• 14:39
  players
• 14:40
  have
• 14:40
  a
• 14:40
  better
• 14:40
  chance
• 14:40
  to
• 14:40
  hit
• 14:41
  a
• 14:41
  major
• 14:41
  league
• 14:41
  baseball
• 14:42
  roster
• 14:43
  faster
• 14:43
  than
• 14:44
  a
• 14:44
  high
• 14:44
  school
• 14:44
  kid
• 14:45
  just
• 14:45
  because
• 14:45
  they
• 14:46
  have
• 14:46
  already
• 14:46
  kind
• 14:46
  of
• 14:47
  gone
• 14:47
  through
• 14:48
  seeing
• 14:48
  some
• 14:48
  of
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  tougher
• 14:49
  pitching
• 14:50
  and
• 14:50
  played
• 14:50
  a
• 14:51
  couple
• 14:51
  of
• 14:51
  extra
• 14:51
  years?
• 14:53
  Yeah,
• 14:53
  I
• 14:53
  mean,
• 14:54
  it
• 14:54
  obviously
• 14:54
  depends
• 14:55
  on
• 14:55
  the
• 14:55
  confidence.
• 14:55
  But
• 14:56
  if
• 14:56
  you
• 14:56
  target
• 14:56
  a
• 14:57
  player
• 14:57
  from,
• 14:57
  say,
• 14:57
  the
• 14:58
  sec,
• 14:58
  then
• 14:59
  yes,
• 14:59
  the
• 15:00
  SEC
• 15:00
  is
• 15:01
  a
• 15:01
  fairly
• 15:02
  high
• 15:02
  level,
• 15:02
  minor
• 15:02
  league
• 15:03
  level
• 15:03
  of
• 15:03
  play
• 15:03
  average,
• 15:04
  I
• 15:04
  would
• 15:04
  probably
• 15:04
  say,
• 15:05
  by
• 15:05
  and
• 15:05
  large.
• 15:07
  So
• 15:07
  those
• 15:08
  players
• 15:08
  have
• 15:08
  a
• 15:08
  tendency
• 15:09
  to
• 15:09
  move
• 15:09
  faster.
• 15:10
  And
• 15:10
  then
• 15:11
  you
• 15:11
  kind
• 15:11
  of
• 15:11
  hit
• 15:12
  the
• 15:12
  nail
• 15:12
  on
• 15:12
  the
• 15:12
  head
• 15:12
  by
• 15:12
  talking
• 15:13
  about
• 15:13
  the
• 15:13
  extra
• 15:13
  years.
• 15:14
  They're
• 15:14
  older.
• 15:16
  Not
• 15:16
  only
• 15:16
  do
• 15:16
  you
• 15:16
  have
• 15:16
  three
• 15:17
  more,
• 15:17
  two
• 15:17
  or
• 15:18
  three
• 15:18
  more
• 15:18
  years
• 15:18
  of
• 15:19
  data
• 15:19
  to
• 15:19
  get
• 15:20
  a
• 15:20
  sense
• 15:20
  of
• 15:20
  who
• 15:20
  they
• 15:20
  are
• 15:21
  and
• 15:21
  what
• 15:21
  they
• 15:21
  can
• 15:22
  handle,
• 15:23
  but
• 15:23
  they've
• 15:24
  grown
• 15:24
  into
• 15:24
  their
• 15:25
  man
• 15:25
  strength.
• 15:25
  You
• 15:25
  have
• 15:26
  a
• 15:26
  better
• 15:26
  sense
• 15:26
  of
• 15:27
  who
• 15:27
  they're
• 15:27
  going
• 15:27
  to
• 15:27
  be.
• 15:28
  That
• 15:28
  doesn't
• 15:28
  mean
• 15:28
  there
• 15:28
  aren't
• 15:28
  college
• 15:29
  players
• 15:29
  with
• 15:29
  projection
• 15:30
  get
• 15:31
  better
• 15:32
  and
• 15:32
  things
• 15:33
  like
• 15:33
  that,
• 15:33
  but
• 15:33
  a
• 15:33
  lot
• 15:33
  of
• 15:33
  them
• 15:34
  have
• 15:34
  done
• 15:34
  that
• 15:35
  already.
• 15:36
  You
• 15:37
  know,
• 15:37
  the
• 15:38
  general.
• 15:38
  Forget
• 15:39
  about
• 15:39
  athletes,
• 15:39
  but
• 15:39
  in
• 15:40
  general,
• 15:40
  they're
• 15:40
  like
• 15:40
  change
• 15:41
  from
• 15:41
  18
• 15:41
  to,
• 15:42
  say,
• 15:42
  20
• 15:43
  from
• 15:43
  a
• 15:43
  physical
• 15:43
  standpoint
• 15:45
  is
• 15:45
  tremendous
• 15:46
  for
• 15:46
  anybody.
• 15:47
  And
• 15:47
  then
• 15:47
  adding
• 15:48
  the
• 15:48
  fact
• 15:48
  that
• 15:50
  unless
• 15:50
  you're
• 15:50
  at
• 15:50
  some
• 15:51
  really,
• 15:51
  really
• 15:52
  power
• 15:52
  high
• 15:53
  school
• 15:53
  program
• 15:54
  and
• 15:54
  you
• 15:54
  get
• 15:55
  to
• 15:55
  a
• 15:55
  bigger
• 15:56
  college,
• 15:56
  that's
• 15:56
  the
• 15:57
  first
• 15:57
  time
• 15:57
  you're
• 15:57
  really
• 15:57
  doing
• 15:58
  the
• 15:58
  strength
• 15:58
  and
• 15:58
  conditioning,
• 15:59
  you
• 16:00
  know,
• 16:00
  for
• 16:01
  the
• 16:01
  real,
• 16:02
  you
• 16:02
  know,
• 16:02
  and
• 16:03
  things
• 16:03
  of
• 16:03
  that
• 16:03
  nature
• 16:04
  or
• 16:04
  Throwing
• 16:04
  programs
• 16:05
  or
• 16:05
  whatever
• 16:06
  it
• 16:06
  may
• 16:06
  be.
• 16:06
  And
• 16:07
  so
• 16:08
  they're
• 16:09
  far
• 16:09
  more
• 16:09
  advanced
• 16:10
  than
• 16:10
  the
• 16:11
  typical
• 16:11
  high
• 16:11
  school
• 16:12
  player.
• 16:13
  So
• 16:14
  people
• 16:14
  around
• 16:14
  here,
• 16:15
  you
• 16:15
  know,
• 16:15
  think
• 16:16
  about
• 16:16
  the
• 16:16
  Mets
• 16:16
  and
• 16:16
  the
• 16:16
  Yankees.
• 16:17
  Thinking
• 16:17
  about
• 16:17
  the
• 16:17
  Mets,
• 16:18
  obviously
• 16:18
  they're,
• 16:18
  they're
• 16:19
  looking
• 16:19
  to
• 16:19
  trade
• 16:20
  possibly
• 16:20
  for
• 16:21
  a
• 16:21
  center
• 16:21
  fielder,
• 16:22
  but
• 16:23
  they
• 16:23
  have
• 16:23
  a
• 16:23
  guy
• 16:24
  who's
• 16:24
  been
• 16:24
  hitting
• 16:24
  pretty
• 16:25
  well
• 16:25
  in
• 16:25
  Drew
• 16:25
  Gilbert,
• 16:26
  but
• 16:26
  has
• 16:26
  worked
• 16:27
  his
• 16:27
  way
• 16:27
  up
• 16:27
  and,
• 16:28
  you
• 16:28
  know,
• 16:29
  I
• 16:29
  don't
• 16:29
  know
• 16:29
  if
• 16:29
  they
• 16:29
  would
• 16:30
  say
• 16:30
  that
• 16:30
  he
• 16:30
  would
• 16:30
  be
• 16:30
  ready
• 16:31
  this
• 16:31
  year.
• 16:31
  Do
• 16:31
  you
• 16:31
  think
• 16:32
  a
• 16:32
  guy
• 16:32
  like
• 16:32
  Carson
• 16:33
  Benge
• 16:33
  who,
• 16:34
  you
• 16:35
  know,
• 16:35
  played
• 16:35
  at
• 16:35
  Oklahoma
• 16:36
  State
• 16:36
  and
• 16:37
  then
• 16:37
  makes
• 16:38
  it
• 16:38
  to
• 16:38
  the
• 16:38
  Mets
• 16:39
  and
• 16:39
  kind
• 16:39
  of
• 16:39
  moves
• 16:40
  his
• 16:40
  way
• 16:40
  up,
• 16:40
  is
• 16:41
  he
• 16:41
  a
• 16:41
  guy
• 16:41
  that
• 16:41
  could
• 16:42
  possibly
• 16:42
  help
• 16:42
  the
• 16:42
  Mets
• 16:43
  this
• 16:43
  year?
• 16:48
  I
• 16:48
  mean,
• 16:50
  he's
• 16:50
  sitting
• 16:51
  in
• 16:51
  the
• 16:51
  Double
• 16:51
  A
• 16:52
  right
• 16:53
  there.
• 16:53
  You
• 16:54
  know,
• 16:54
  there
• 16:54
  is
• 16:54
  a
• 16:54
  theory
• 16:55
  that,
• 16:56
  you
• 16:56
  know,
• 16:57
  typically
• 16:57
  that
• 16:57
  if
• 16:57
  you
• 16:58
  can
• 16:58
  succeed
• 16:58
  in
• 16:58
  Double
• 16:59
  A,
• 16:59
  you're
• 16:59
  going
• 16:59
  to
• 16:59
  succeed
• 16:59
  in
• 17:00
  the
• 17:00
  big
• 17:00
  leagues.
• 17:00
  Now,
• 17:02
  there's
• 17:02
  a
• 17:02
  big
• 17:02
  difference
• 17:03
  between,
• 17:03
  oh,
• 17:03
  he's
• 17:03
  going
• 17:04
  to
• 17:04
  find
• 17:04
  success
• 17:04
  in
• 17:04
  the
• 17:04
  big
• 17:05
  leagues
• 17:05
  and
• 17:05
  can
• 17:05
  he
• 17:06
  come
• 17:06
  up
• 17:07
  in
• 17:07
  New
• 17:07
  York
• 17:08
  during
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  playoff
• 17:09
  race
• 17:10
  and
• 17:11
  contribute?
• 17:12
  Right.
• 17:12
  He's
• 17:12
  not
• 17:12
  playing
• 17:12
  in
• 17:13
  meaningless
• 17:13
  games
• 17:13
  in
• 17:14
  Pittsburgh.
• 17:14
  Right.
• 17:15
  That,
• 17:15
  that
• 17:15
  is
• 17:16
  a
• 17:16
  easy.
• 17:17
  Now,
• 17:17
  I'm
• 17:17
  from
• 17:17
  Pittsburgh.
• 17:18
  That
• 17:18
  was
• 17:18
  just
• 17:18
  me.
• 17:19
  I
• 17:19
  know.
• 17:22
  But
• 17:22
  you're
• 17:22
  not
• 17:22
  wrong.
• 17:23
  This
• 17:24
  isn't
• 17:24
  a
• 17:24
  team
• 17:25
  playing
• 17:25
  off
• 17:25
  the
• 17:25
  string,
• 17:26
  let's
• 17:26
  see
• 17:26
  what
• 17:27
  we
• 17:27
  got
• 17:27
  here
• 17:28
  kind
• 17:28
  of
• 17:28
  thing.
• 17:28
  This
• 17:28
  is,
• 17:29
  we
• 17:29
  want
• 17:29
  you
• 17:29
  to
• 17:29
  come
• 17:30
  up
• 17:30
  and
• 17:30
  he
• 17:31
  doesn't
• 17:31
  need
• 17:31
  to
• 17:31
  be
• 17:32
  the
• 17:32
  guy.
• 17:32
  Right.
• 17:33
  Because
• 17:33
  there
• 17:33
  are
• 17:34
  obviously
• 17:34
  players
• 17:34
  on
• 17:35
  the
• 17:35
  major
• 17:35
  league
• 17:35
  roster
• 17:35
  that
• 17:36
  are
• 17:36
  doing
• 17:36
  that.
• 17:37
  But
• 17:37
  can
• 17:38
  someone
• 17:38
  like
• 17:38
  Carson
• 17:39
  bench
• 17:39
  or
• 17:40
  even.
• 17:42
  They
• 17:42
  have
• 17:42
  a
• 17:42
  bunch
• 17:42
  of
• 17:42
  guys
• 17:43
  sort
• 17:43
  of
• 17:43
  at
• 17:43
  the
• 17:43
  upper
• 17:43
  levels
• 17:44
  who
• 17:45
  you
• 17:45
  could
• 17:45
  say,
• 17:45
  should
• 17:46
  they
• 17:46
  call
• 17:46
  on,
• 17:47
  whether
• 17:47
  it's
• 17:48
  a
• 17:48
  Drew
• 17:48
  Gilbert
• 17:49
  or
• 17:49
  Ryan
• 17:50
  Clifford
• 17:50
  in
• 17:50
  Double
• 17:51
  A
• 17:51
  or
• 17:51
  Jacob
• 17:52
  Reiner,
• 17:52
  different
• 17:53
  positions,
• 17:53
  things
• 17:53
  like
• 17:54
  that.
• 17:54
  But
• 17:54
  if
• 17:54
  you're
• 17:54
  looking
• 17:54
  for
• 17:54
  a
• 17:54
  guy
• 17:54
  who
• 17:54
  might
• 17:55
  be
• 17:55
  able
• 17:55
  to
• 17:55
  play
• 17:55
  center
• 17:55
  field,
• 17:56
  your
• 17:56
  choices
• 17:56
  are
• 17:57
  Gilbert
• 17:57
  revenge
• 17:58
  or.
• 17:59
  Jet
• 17:59
  Williams
• 17:59
  might
• 18:00
  fit,
• 18:00
  even
• 18:00
  though
• 18:01
  that's
• 18:01
  not
• 18:01
  his
• 18:01
  natural
• 18:01
  position.
• 18:03
  Yeah,
• 18:03
  I
• 18:03
  mean,
• 18:03
  remember
• 18:04
  he
• 18:04
  missed
• 18:04
  a
• 18:04
  lot
• 18:05
  of
• 18:05
  time.
• 18:05
  He
• 18:06
  only
• 18:06
  played
• 18:06
  33
• 18:06
  games
• 18:07
  last
• 18:07
  year.
• 18:08
  I
• 18:09
  think
• 18:09
  he's
• 18:09
  a
• 18:09
  play
• 18:09
  center
• 18:10
  field.
• 18:11
  I
• 18:12
  love
• 18:12
  Jet
• 18:12
  Williams,
• 18:13
  like,
• 18:13
  and
• 18:13
  from
• 18:13
  a
• 18:14
  it
• 18:14
  won't
• 18:14
  bother
• 18:15
  him
• 18:15
  kind
• 18:15
  of
• 18:15
  standpoint,
• 18:16
  like,
• 18:17
  let's
• 18:17
  say
• 18:17
  he
• 18:17
  comes
• 18:17
  up
• 18:17
  and
• 18:17
  falls
• 18:18
  flat
• 18:18
  on
• 18:18
  his
• 18:18
  face,
• 18:19
  it's
• 18:19
  not
• 18:20
  going
• 18:20
  to
• 18:20
  hurt
• 18:20
  him
• 18:20
  developmentally.
• 18:21
  That's
• 18:21
  one
• 18:21
  thing
• 18:21
  you
• 18:22
  have
• 18:22
  to
• 18:22
  sort
• 18:23
  of
• 18:23
  wait
• 18:23
  and
• 18:23
  sort
• 18:24
  of
• 18:24
  take
• 18:24
  into
• 18:25
  your
• 18:25
  evaluation.
• 18:25
  It's
• 18:26
  not
• 18:26
  just
• 18:26
  will
• 18:26
  those
• 18:26
  skills
• 18:27
  translate,
• 18:27
  but
• 18:28
  how
• 18:28
  are
• 18:28
  they
• 18:28
  going
• 18:28
  to
• 18:28
  respond
• 18:29
  to
• 18:29
  the
• 18:29
  challenge.
• 18:30
  And
• 18:30
  if
• 18:30
  they're
• 18:30
  not
• 18:30
  up
• 18:31
  to
• 18:31
  the
• 18:31
  challenge
• 18:31
  this
• 18:32
  time,
• 18:33
  is
• 18:33
  it
• 18:33
  going
• 18:33
  to
• 18:33
  harm
• 18:34
  their
• 18:34
  long
• 18:34
  term
• 18:36
  Success.
• 18:37
  And
• 18:37
  you
• 18:37
  know,
• 18:37
  listen,
• 18:37
  that's
• 18:38
  the
• 18:38
  question
• 18:38
  in
• 18:38
  New
• 18:38
  York.
• 18:39
  If
• 18:39
  you
• 18:39
  can't
• 18:40
  answer
• 18:40
  that
• 18:40
  question,
• 18:40
  then
• 18:41
  you're
• 18:41
  not
• 18:41
  going
• 18:41
  to
• 18:41
  make
• 18:41
  it
• 18:41
  in
• 18:42
  New
• 18:42
  York.
• 18:43
  But
• 18:43
  for
• 18:43
  the
• 18:43
  guys
• 18:43
  who
• 18:44
  just
• 18:44
  barely
• 18:45
  made
• 18:45
  it
• 18:45
  to
• 18:45
  double
• 18:46
  A,
• 18:47
  they
• 18:47
  would
• 18:47
  be
• 18:47
  a
• 18:47
  jump.
• 18:48
  I
• 18:48
  know
• 18:48
  a
• 18:48
  lot
• 18:49
  of
• 18:49
  guys
• 18:49
  from
• 18:49
  last
• 18:49
  year's
• 18:49
  draft
• 18:50
  class
• 18:50
  have
• 18:50
  made
• 18:51
  it
• 18:51
  to
• 18:51
  the
• 18:51
  big
• 18:51
  leagues,
• 18:51
  but
• 18:52
  the
• 18:53
  Nick
• 18:53
  Kurtz's
• 18:53
  and
• 18:53
  Jack
• 18:54
  Caglion's
• 18:54
  of
• 18:54
  the
• 18:55
  world
• 18:55
  are
• 18:55
  not
• 18:56
  typical.
• 18:57
  So
• 18:58
  I
• 18:58
  would
• 18:58
  wait
• 18:58
  until
• 18:59
  next
• 18:59
  year
• 18:59
  for
• 19:00
  someone
• 19:00
  like
• 19:00
  Carson
• 19:00
  Benge
• 19:01
  who
• 19:01
  I
• 19:01
  do
• 19:01
  think
• 19:02
  has
• 19:02
  a
• 19:02
  chance
• 19:02
  to
• 19:02
  be
• 19:02
  a
• 19:02
  very,
• 19:03
  very
• 19:03
  solid
• 19:03
  big
• 19:04
  league
• 19:04
  regular.
• 19:05
  Okay,
• 19:05
  so
• 19:05
  let's
• 19:05
  talk
• 19:06
  trades.
• 19:06
  What
• 19:07
  do
• 19:07
  you
• 19:07
  think
• 19:07
  you
• 19:07
  can
• 19:07
  get
• 19:08
  for
• 19:08
  players
• 19:08
  that
• 19:08
  are
• 19:09
  maybe
• 19:09
  ranked
• 19:09
  number
• 19:10
  one
• 19:10
  in
• 19:10
  your
• 19:10
  organization
• 19:11
  this
• 19:12
  time
• 19:12
  of
• 19:12
  year?
• 19:12
  If
• 19:12
  you're
• 19:13
  like
• 19:13
  not
• 19:13
  maybe
• 19:14
  not
• 19:14
  a
• 19:14
  top
• 19:14
  10
• 19:15
  prospect
• 19:15
  overall,
• 19:16
  but
• 19:16
  you're
• 19:16
  the
• 19:16
  best
• 19:17
  player
• 19:17
  on
• 19:18
  that
• 19:18
  team,
• 19:19
  what
• 19:19
  kind
• 19:19
  of
• 19:19
  player
• 19:20
  can
• 19:20
  a
• 19:20
  team
• 19:21
  get
• 19:21
  back
• 19:21
  that's
• 19:21
  already
• 19:22
  major
• 19:22
  league
• 19:22
  ready?
• 19:25
  Well,
• 19:25
  it
• 19:25
  depends.
• 19:26
  Depends
• 19:27
  on
• 19:27
  the
• 19:27
  organization,
• 19:27
  depends
• 19:28
  on
• 19:28
  the
• 19:28
  player.
• 19:29
  So
• 19:29
  you
• 19:29
  know,
• 19:30
  if
• 19:30
  you're
• 19:30
  talking
• 19:31
  Jet
• 19:32
  Williams,
• 19:32
  who
• 19:32
  I
• 19:33
  don't
• 19:33
  know
• 19:33
  that
• 19:33
  the
• 19:33
  Mets
• 19:34
  would
• 19:34
  be
• 19:34
  willing
• 19:34
  to
• 19:34
  trade,
• 19:35
  he's
• 19:35
  number
• 19:35
  38,
• 19:36
  so
• 19:36
  he's
• 19:37
  on
• 19:37
  our
• 19:37
  top
• 19:37
  100.
• 19:38
  So
• 19:38
  he's
• 19:39
  pretty
• 19:39
  highly
• 19:39
  ranked.
• 19:40
  I
• 19:40
  think
• 19:40
  a
• 19:41
  guy
• 19:41
  who's
• 19:41
  pretty
• 19:41
  highly
• 19:42
  ranked
• 19:42
  who's
• 19:43
  already
• 19:44
  at
• 19:44
  the
• 19:44
  upper
• 19:44
  levels
• 19:46
  and
• 19:46
  performing
• 19:47
  well.
• 19:48
  And
• 19:48
  we
• 19:49
  have
• 19:49
  four
• 19:49
  Mets
• 19:50
  on
• 19:50
  the
• 19:50
  top
• 19:50
  100.
• 19:51
  Williams,
• 19:51
  Jonathan
• 19:52
  Nolan
• 19:52
  McClain
• 19:53
  and
• 19:53
  Carson
• 19:53
  Benz,
• 19:54
  two
• 19:54
  industry
• 19:54
  pitchers
• 19:55
  and
• 19:55
  McLean's
• 19:56
  at
• 19:56
  AAA.
• 19:58
  Guys
• 19:58
  at
• 19:59
  the
• 19:59
  upper
• 19:59
  levels
• 20:00
  I
• 20:00
  think
• 20:01
  are
• 20:01
  more
• 20:01
  attractive.
• 20:04
  McLean,
• 20:04
  if
• 20:05
  you're
• 20:05
  a
• 20:05
  team
• 20:05
  out
• 20:05
  of
• 20:05
  the
• 20:06
  race
• 20:06
  and
• 20:07
  you're
• 20:07
  trading
• 20:07
  away
• 20:08
  a
• 20:08
  major
• 20:08
  league
• 20:08
  for
• 20:09
  prospects,
• 20:10
  you
• 20:10
  can
• 20:11
  get
• 20:12
  a
• 20:12
  Nolan
• 20:12
  McLean
• 20:13
  type
• 20:13
  and
• 20:13
  put
• 20:13
  them
• 20:14
  right
• 20:14
  into
• 20:14
  your
• 20:14
  beta
• 20:14
  league
• 20:14
  rotation
• 20:15
  and
• 20:15
  see
• 20:16
  what
• 20:16
  you
• 20:16
  have
• 20:17
  and
• 20:18
  sort
• 20:18
  of
• 20:18
  generate
• 20:19
  a
• 20:19
  little
• 20:19
  excitement
• 20:19
  about
• 20:20
  what
• 20:20
  the
• 20:20
  future
• 20:20
  might
• 20:20
  look
• 20:21
  like
• 20:22
  that
• 20:22
  has
• 20:22
  value.
• 20:24
  It's
• 20:24
  not
• 20:24
  to
• 20:24
  say
• 20:24
  that
• 20:25
  any
• 20:25
  of
• 20:25
  those
• 20:26
  guys
• 20:26
  would
• 20:26
  be
• 20:27
  higher
• 20:27
  than
• 20:30
  trying
• 20:30
  to
• 20:31
  think
• 20:31
  of
• 20:32
  if
• 20:32
  say
• 20:32
  the
• 20:33
  Milwaukee
• 20:33
  brewers
• 20:34
  were
• 20:34
  willing
• 20:34
  to
• 20:34
  trade
• 20:34
  Jesus
• 20:35
  Madag,
• 20:36
  who's
• 20:36
  one
• 20:37
  of
• 20:37
  the
• 20:37
  most
• 20:37
  exciting
• 20:38
  prospects
• 20:38
  in
• 20:38
  baseball.
• 20:40
  But
• 20:40
  he's
• 20:42
  18
• 20:43
  and
• 20:43
  he's
• 20:43
  only
• 20:43
  an
• 20:43
  eight
• 20:44
  ball.
• 20:44
  Right.
• 20:45
  You
• 20:45
  know,
• 20:45
  he
• 20:46
  would
• 20:46
  have
• 20:46
  more
• 20:47
  long
• 20:47
  term
• 20:48
  value
• 20:49
  because
• 20:49
  he
• 20:49
  has
• 20:49
  a
• 20:49
  chance
• 20:50
  to
• 20:50
  be
• 20:51
  a
• 20:51
  superstar,
• 20:52
  play
• 20:52
  short
• 20:52
  stock.
• 20:53
  You
• 20:53
  know,
• 20:54
  he
• 20:54
  may
• 20:54
  be
• 20:54
  our
• 20:54
  number
• 20:54
  one
• 20:55
  prospect
• 20:56
  when
• 20:56
  all
• 20:56
  is
• 20:56
  said
• 20:56
  and
• 20:56
  done.
• 20:57
  There's
• 20:58
  no
• 20:58
  way
• 20:58
  the
• 20:58
  Milwaukee
• 20:59
  brewers
• 20:59
  should
• 20:59
  trade
• 20:59
  him,
• 21:00
  I
• 21:01
  don't
• 21:01
  think.
• 21:02
  But
• 21:02
  I'm
• 21:02
  just
• 21:02
  using
• 21:02
  him
• 21:03
  as
• 21:03
  an
• 21:03
  example
• 21:03
  of
• 21:04
  the
• 21:04
  sort
• 21:04
  of
• 21:05
  counter
• 21:05
  arguments
• 21:06
  to
• 21:06
  the
• 21:06
  upper
• 21:07
  level
• 21:07
  guys.
• 21:08
  But
• 21:08
  you
• 21:08
  know,
• 21:08
  it's
• 21:09
  on
• 21:09
  the
• 21:09
  team,
• 21:10
  especially
• 21:10
  if
• 21:10
  it's
• 21:11
  a
• 21:11
  team
• 21:11
  that
• 21:11
  is
• 21:11
  out
• 21:11
  of
• 21:12
  it
• 21:12
  that
• 21:12
  typically
• 21:14
  is
• 21:14
  around.
• 21:15
  And
• 21:16
  so
• 21:16
  now
• 21:16
  they
• 21:16
  want
• 21:17
  to
• 21:17
  be
• 21:17
  able
• 21:17
  to
• 21:17
  flip
• 21:17
  a
• 21:18
  switch
• 21:18
  a
• 21:18
  little
• 21:18
  more
• 21:18
  quickly.
• 21:19
  They're
• 21:20
  really
• 21:20
  going
• 21:21
  to
• 21:21
  key
• 21:21
  in
• 21:22
  on
• 21:22
  upper
• 21:23
  level
• 21:23
  prospects
• 21:24
  more,
• 21:24
  I
• 21:24
  would
• 21:24
  think
• 21:25
  because
• 21:26
  they
• 21:27
  feel
• 21:27
  that
• 21:27
  they
• 21:27
  have
• 21:28
  a
• 21:28
  pretty
• 21:28
  good
• 21:28
  foundation
• 21:29
  at
• 21:29
  the
• 21:29
  good
• 21:29
  level.
• 21:30
  Too
• 21:30
  many
• 21:30
  injuries
• 21:30
  or
• 21:30
  whatever
• 21:31
  was
• 21:32
  hurt
• 21:33
  them
• 21:33
  this
• 21:33
  year
• 21:34
  and
• 21:34
  they
• 21:34
  think
• 21:35
  that
• 21:35
  if
• 21:35
  they
• 21:35
  get
• 21:36
  their
• 21:36
  core
• 21:36
  back
• 21:36
  and
• 21:37
  then
• 21:37
  add
• 21:38
  a
• 21:38
  guy
• 21:39
  or
• 21:39
  two
• 21:39
  via
• 21:40
  trade,
• 21:41
  a
• 21:41
  young
• 21:41
  guy
• 21:41
  or
• 21:42
  two,
• 21:42
  that
• 21:42
  they'll
• 21:42
  have
• 21:42
  under
• 21:42
  control
• 21:43
  for
• 21:43
  a
• 21:43
  long
• 21:43
  time
• 21:43
  who
• 21:44
  will
• 21:44
  be
• 21:44
  ready
• 21:44
  for
• 21:44
  the
• 21:44
  big
• 21:45
  leagues,
• 21:45
  if
• 21:45
  not
• 21:45
  now,
• 21:46
  then
• 21:46
  at
• 21:46
  the
• 21:46
  very
• 21:47
  start
• 21:47
  of
• 21:47
  next
• 21:47
  year,
• 21:47
  say,
• 21:48
  and
• 21:48
  they
• 21:48
  can
• 21:49
  kind
• 21:49
  of
• 21:49
  flip
• 21:49
  the
• 21:49
  switch
• 21:49
  back
• 21:50
  to
• 21:50
  competing
• 21:50
  because
• 21:51
  of
• 21:51
  that.
• 21:52
  Hope
• 21:52
  you're
• 21:52
  enjoying
• 21:53
  it
• 21:53
  at

• 21:58
  We're
• 21:59
  talking
• 21:59
  a
• 21:59
  little
• 21:59
  bit
• 21:59
  about
• 22:00
  the

  minor

  league
• 22:00
  players
• 22:01
  who

  being

  I

  I

  had

  Last

  year
• 22:15
  our

• 22:16
  seemed

  onto

  they're

  better

  they

  waiting

  that

  can

  a
• 22:25
  longer
• 22:26
  term
• 22:26
  deal
• 22:26
  left?
• 22:29
  I
• 22:29
  do
• 22:29
  think
• 22:31
  that
• 22:31
  there
• 22:32
  is
• 22:33
  a
• 22:33
  little
• 22:34
  bit
• 22:34
  more
• 22:36
  import
• 22:36
  put
• 22:37
  on
• 22:37
  the
• 22:37
  prospects
• 22:39
  because
• 22:40
  I
• 22:40
  think
• 22:41
  from
• 22:41
  a
• 22:41
  cost
• 22:41
  effective
• 22:42
  standpoint
• 22:46
  can
• 22:46
  help
• 22:46
  the
• 22:47
  team
• 22:47
  more,
• 22:48
  you
• 22:48
  know,
• 22:49
  and
• 22:49
  maybe
• 22:50
  they're
• 22:50
  overvalued.
• 22:51
  That's
• 22:51
  hard
• 22:51
  for
• 22:51
  me
• 22:51
  to
• 22:52
  say
• 22:52
  because
• 22:52
  I
• 22:53
  live
• 22:53
  in
• 22:53
  the
• 22:53
  world
• 22:53
  of
• 22:53
  prospects.
• 22:54
  So
• 22:55
  I
• 22:55
  always
• 22:55
  have
• 22:55
  to
• 22:55
  check
• 22:55
  myself
• 22:56
  about
• 22:56
  my
• 22:56
  own
• 22:57
  prospect
• 22:57
  bias.
• 22:59
  You
• 22:59
  should
• 22:59
  always
• 23:00
  hang
• 23:00
  on
• 23:00
  to
• 23:00
  this.
• 23:01
  I
• 23:01
  just
• 23:01
  answered
• 23:01
  a
• 23:01
  question
• 23:02
  inbox
• 23:03
  about
• 23:03
  whether
• 23:04
  prospects
• 23:05
  should
• 23:05
  be
• 23:05
  untouchable
• 23:06
  and
• 23:07
  I
• 23:07
  kind
• 23:07
  of
• 23:07
  came
• 23:08
  down
• 23:08
  with
• 23:09
  no,
• 23:09
  they
• 23:09
  should
• 23:10
  never
• 23:10
  be
• 23:10
  untouchable
• 23:11
  and
• 23:11
  that
• 23:11
  you
• 23:11
  should
• 23:11
  always
• 23:11
  have
• 23:11
  the
• 23:11
  conversation.
• 23:12
  But
• 23:13
  there
• 23:13
  are
• 23:13
  certain
• 23:13
  prospects
• 23:14
  that
• 23:14
  if
• 23:14
  you're
• 23:14
  going
• 23:14
  to
• 23:15
  trade,
• 23:15
  you
• 23:15
  better
• 23:16
  get
• 23:16
  the
• 23:17
  moon
• 23:17
  and
• 23:17
  the
• 23:17
  stars
• 23:17
  back
• 23:18
  in
• 23:18
  terms
• 23:18
  of
• 23:19
  major
• 23:20
  league
• 23:20
  or
• 23:21
  major
• 23:21
  league
• 23:21
  ready,
• 23:22
  close
• 23:22
  to
• 23:22
  major
• 23:22
  league
• 23:23
  ready
• 23:25
  players
• 23:25
  in
• 23:25
  return
• 23:26
  and
• 23:27
  only
• 23:27
  if
• 23:27
  they
• 23:27
  meet
• 23:28
  the
• 23:28
  highest,
• 23:28
  highest
• 23:29
  standards,
• 23:29
  then
• 23:29
  maybe
• 23:30
  you
• 23:30
  trade
• 23:30
  them.
• 23:30
  I
• 23:31
  use
• 23:31
  Paul
• 23:31
  Skeez
• 23:31
  as
• 23:31
  an
• 23:32
  example.
• 23:33
  Not
• 23:33
  that
• 23:33
  he
• 23:33
  was
• 23:33
  a
• 23:33
  prospect
• 23:34
  for
• 23:34
  very
• 23:34
  long,
• 23:34
  but
• 23:35
  as
• 23:35
  a
• 23:35
  prospect
• 23:36
  I
• 23:36
  would
• 23:36
  never
• 23:36
  trade
• 23:36
  him.
• 23:37
  But
• 23:38
  if
• 23:38
  the
• 23:39
  Dodgers
• 23:39
  came
• 23:39
  and
• 23:39
  offered
• 23:40
  you
• 23:40
  Mookie
• 23:40
  Betts
• 23:41
  and
• 23:41
  showing
• 23:41
  a
• 23:42
  comedy,
• 23:42
  then
• 23:43
  yeah,
• 23:43
  you
• 23:44
  have
• 23:44
  to
• 23:44
  at
• 23:44
  least
• 23:44
  seriously
• 23:45
  think
• 23:45
  about
• 23:45
  it.
• 23:46
  Now
• 23:46
  that
• 23:46
  would
• 23:46
  never
• 23:46
  happen
• 23:47
  in
• 23:47
  a
• 23:47
  million
• 23:47
  years.
• 23:47
  But
• 23:47
  you
• 23:48
  get
• 23:48
  the
• 23:48
  point
• 23:49
  of
• 23:50
  where
• 23:50
  I'm
• 23:50
  going
• 23:50
  with
• 23:50
  that.
• 23:51
  The
• 23:51
  flip
• 23:51
  side
• 23:51
  is
• 23:52
  if
• 23:52
  the
• 23:52
  parents
• 23:53
  were
• 23:53
  to
• 23:53
  try
• 23:53
  to
• 23:53
  trade
• 23:54
  pulse
• 23:54
  schemes
• 23:55
  now
• 23:55
  they
• 23:55
  better
• 23:56
  get
• 23:56
  the
• 23:57
  untouchable
• 23:57
  kind
• 23:57
  of
• 23:58
  prospect.
• 23:58
  Oh,
• 23:58
  yeah.
• 24:00
  So
• 24:00
  I
• 24:01
  do
• 24:01
  think
• 24:01
  that
• 24:02
  teams
• 24:03
  are
• 24:03
  much
• 24:03
  more
• 24:03
  cognizant
• 24:04
  of
• 24:04
  what
• 24:05
  they
• 24:05
  value.
• 24:06
  The
• 24:07
  perceived
• 24:07
  value
• 24:07
  of
• 24:07
  prospects
• 24:08
  are
• 24:08
  and
• 24:08
  maybe
• 24:09
  are
• 24:09
  less
• 24:09
  likely
• 24:11
  to
• 24:11
  trade
• 24:12
  them.
• 24:13
  There
• 24:13
  are
• 24:13
  exceptions.
• 24:14
  There
• 24:14
  are
• 24:14
  certain
• 24:15
  general
• 24:15
  managers
• 24:15
  or
• 24:16
  presidents
• 24:17
  of
• 24:17
  teams
• 24:17
  that
• 24:18
  are
• 24:18
  always
• 24:18
  willing
• 24:19
  to
• 24:19
  trade
• 24:19
  to
• 24:19
  try
• 24:20
  to
• 24:20
  compete.
• 24:22
  But
• 24:23
  I
• 24:23
  think
• 24:23
  for
• 24:24
  the
• 24:24
  most
• 24:24
  part,
• 24:25
  teams
• 24:25
  are
• 24:25
  thinking
• 24:26
  this
• 24:26
  guy
• 24:27
  is
• 24:27
  more
• 24:27
  likely
• 24:27
  to
• 24:28
  help
• 24:28
  me
• 24:28
  for
• 24:28
  the
• 24:28
  long
• 24:28
  term.
• 24:29
  And
• 24:29
  this
• 24:29
  probably
• 24:29
  speaks
• 24:30
  to
• 24:30
  the
• 24:30
  point
• 24:30
  that
• 24:30
  you're
• 24:31
  making
• 24:31
  about
• 24:32
  trading
• 24:32
  for
• 24:33
  rentals.
• 24:33
  You're
• 24:34
  not
• 24:34
  going
• 24:34
  to
• 24:34
  give
• 24:34
  up
• 24:36
  a
• 24:36
  ton
• 24:36
  for
• 24:36
  rental
• 24:37
  unless
• 24:38
  you
• 24:38
  feel
• 24:39
  that
• 24:39
  you're
• 24:40
  like,
• 24:40
  if
• 24:40
  you
• 24:41
  think
• 24:41
  you
• 24:41
  have
• 24:41
  everything.
• 24:42
  And
• 24:42
  I
• 24:43
  don't
• 24:43
  tend
• 24:43
  to
• 24:43
  know
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  inner
• 24:45
  workings
• 24:45
  of
• 24:45
  every
• 24:45
  major
• 24:45
  league
• 24:46
  roster,
• 24:46
  but
• 24:46
  if
• 24:46
  I'm
• 24:46
  the
• 24:47
  Los
• 24:47
  Angeles
• 24:47
  Dodgers
• 24:48
  and
• 24:49
  boy,
• 24:50
  really
• 24:50
  all
• 24:50
  I
• 24:51
  need
• 24:51
  is
• 24:53
  a
• 24:54
  platoon
• 24:54
  partner
• 24:55
  for
• 24:55
  someone
• 24:55
  at
• 24:55
  first
• 24:55
  base
• 24:56
  or
• 24:56
  a
• 24:56
  seventh
• 24:57
  inning
• 24:57
  guy,
• 24:57
  like,
• 24:58
  that's
• 24:58
  the
• 24:58
  only
• 24:59
  thing
• 24:59
  that
• 25:00
  really
• 25:01
  feel
• 25:01
  that
• 25:01
  you're
• 25:02
  missing
• 25:02
  then,
• 25:03
  you
• 25:04
  know,
• 25:04
  or,
• 25:04
  you
• 25:04
  know,
• 25:05
  or
• 25:05
  maybe
• 25:05
  like,
• 25:05
  boy,
• 25:06
  we
• 25:06
  had
• 25:06
  an
• 25:06
  injury
• 25:07
  and
• 25:07
  we're
• 25:07
  really
• 25:07
  set,
• 25:08
  but
• 25:08
  we
• 25:08
  really
• 25:09
  need
• 25:09
  that
• 25:09
  second
• 25:09
  basement
• 25:10
  to
• 25:10
  get
• 25:10
  us
• 25:11
  to
• 25:13
  through
• 25:13
  October
• 25:13
  and
• 25:14
  win
• 25:14
  a
• 25:14
  World
• 25:14
  Series.
• 25:15
  Then
• 25:15
  maybe
• 25:16
  that
• 25:16
  kind
• 25:16
  of
• 25:16
  thing
• 25:17
  can
• 25:17
  overpay
• 25:17
  because
• 25:18
  they
• 25:18
  also
• 25:18
  have
• 25:18
  the
• 25:19
  wherewithal
• 25:19
  to
• 25:20
  make
• 25:20
  up
• 25:20
  for
• 25:21
  it.
• 25:21
  They
• 25:21
  do
• 25:21
  incredible
• 25:22
  work
• 25:23
  in
• 25:23
  scouting
• 25:24
  and
• 25:24
  player
• 25:24
  development
• 25:24
  and
• 25:25
  they
• 25:25
  also
• 25:25
  have
• 25:25
  the
• 25:26
  financial
• 25:26
  wherewithal
• 25:27
  to
• 25:27
  go
• 25:27
  out
• 25:27
  and
• 25:27
  get
• 25:27
  a
• 25:27
  free
• 25:27
  agent
• 25:28
  if
• 25:28
  they
• 25:28
  have
• 25:28
  holes
• 25:29
  that
• 25:29
  their
• 25:29
  farm
• 25:29
  system
• 25:30
  can't
• 25:30
  cover.
• 25:31
  One
• 25:32
  more
• 25:32
  local
• 25:32
  question,
• 25:33
  Spencer
• 25:33
  Jones.
• 25:33
  Do
• 25:34
  you
• 25:34
  think
• 25:34
  if
• 25:34
  the
• 25:34
  Yankees
• 25:35
  are
• 25:36
  struggling
• 25:36
  in
• 25:36
  the
• 25:36
  next
• 25:37
  couple
• 25:37
  of
• 25:37
  days
• 25:37
  that
• 25:38
  they
• 25:38
  think
• 25:38
  about
• 25:39
  trading
• 25:39
  him
• 25:39
  to
• 25:40
  bring
• 25:40
  in
• 25:40
  a
• 25:40
  need?
• 25:42
  He
• 25:43
  seems
• 25:43
  to
• 25:44
  be
• 25:45
  the
• 25:47
  best
• 25:48
  chance
• 25:49
  of
• 25:49
  them
• 25:50
  trading
• 25:51
  somebody.
• 25:52
  Really?
• 25:54
  They're
• 25:55
  not
• 25:55
  going
• 25:55
  to
• 25:55
  trade
• 25:55
  George
• 25:55
  Lombard.
• 25:56
  Jr.
• 25:56
  No,
• 25:58
  I
• 25:58
  would
• 25:58
  never
• 25:59
  say
• 25:59
  never.
• 25:59
  But
• 25:59
  he's
• 26:00
  the
• 26:00
  kind
• 26:00
  of
• 26:00
  player
• 26:00
  they
• 26:01
  don't
• 26:01
  trade.
• 26:01
  I
• 26:01
  don't.
• 26:02
  When
• 26:02
  Anthony
• 26:02
  Volpe
• 26:03
  was
• 26:03
  coming
• 26:03
  up
• 26:04
  and
• 26:06
  they
• 26:06
  didn't
• 26:06
  have
• 26:06
  that
• 26:06
  much
• 26:07
  in
• 26:07
  the
• 26:07
  forum
• 26:07
  system,
• 26:08
  he
• 26:08
  was
• 26:10
  on
• 26:10
  the
• 26:10
  untouchable
• 26:11
  list.
• 26:11
  And
• 26:12
  George
• 26:12
  Lombard
• 26:12
  is
• 26:12
  another
• 26:13
  guy
• 26:13
  who.
• 26:13
  Can
• 26:13
  play
• 26:13
  up
• 26:13
  the
• 26:13
  middle.
• 26:14
  He's
• 26:15
  20
• 26:15
  years
• 26:15
  old
• 26:15
  in
• 26:15
  double,
• 26:16
  so
• 26:16
  he's
• 26:16
  off
• 26:16
  the
• 26:17
  table.
• 26:17
  Could
• 26:17
  they
• 26:18
  trade
• 26:18
  a
• 26:18
  Carlos
• 26:18
  to
• 26:18
  Grange?
• 26:19
  Yeah,
• 26:20
  they
• 26:20
  trade.
• 26:21
  I
• 26:21
  feel
• 26:22
  like
• 26:22
  they
• 26:22
  trade
• 26:22
  pitchers
• 26:23
  all
• 26:23
  the
• 26:23
  time.
• 26:23
  He's
• 26:24
  taking
• 26:24
  a
• 26:24
  huge
• 26:24
  step
• 26:24
  forward,
• 26:25
  so
• 26:25
  maybe
• 26:26
  not.
• 26:27
  But
• 26:27
  Spencer
• 26:28
  Jones
• 26:29
  is
• 26:29
  sort
• 26:29
  of
• 26:29
  an
• 26:29
  interesting,
• 26:31
  you
• 26:31
  know,
• 26:31
  I
• 26:31
  give
• 26:31
  him
• 26:31
  a
• 26:32
  ton
• 26:32
  of
• 26:32
  credit
• 26:32
  because,
• 26:33
  you
• 26:33
  know,
• 26:33
  last
• 26:34
  year
• 26:34
  was
• 26:34
  rough
• 26:34
  for
• 26:35
  him.
• 26:35
  It's
• 26:35
  hard,
• 26:36
  you
• 26:36
  know,
• 26:36
  to
• 26:36
  strike
• 26:36
  out
• 26:37
  200
• 26:37
  times
• 26:37
  in
• 26:37
  the
• 26:37
  minor
• 26:38
  leagues
• 26:38
  and
• 26:38
  he,
• 26:38
  he
• 26:39
  managed
• 26:39
  to
• 26:39
  do
• 26:39
  it.
• 26:40
  Yes,
• 26:40
  I
• 26:40
  know.
• 26:40
  He
• 26:40
  had,
• 26:41
  you
• 26:41
  know,
• 26:41
  17
• 26:41
  homers
• 26:42
  and
• 26:42
  25
• 26:42
  steals.
• 26:44
  What
• 26:44
  are
• 26:45
  you
• 26:45
  doing
• 26:45
  this
• 26:45
  year?
• 26:47
  And
• 26:47
  I
• 26:47
  don't
• 26:47
  know
• 26:47
  if
• 26:47
  anything
• 26:48
  has
• 26:48
  changed
• 26:48
  in
• 26:48
  the
• 26:48
  last
• 26:49
  couple
• 26:49
  days,
• 26:49
  but
• 26:49
  he's
• 26:49
  leading
• 26:50
  the
• 26:50
  Miners
• 26:50
  and
• 26:50
  homers.
• 26:51
  He's
• 26:51
  still
• 26:51
  striking
• 26:52
  out
• 26:52
  like
• 26:52
  31%
• 26:53
  of
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  time,
• 26:54
  which,
• 26:54
  believe
• 26:55
  it
• 26:55
  or
• 26:55
  not,
• 26:55
  is
• 26:55
  actually
• 26:55
  better
• 26:56
  than
• 26:56
  it
• 26:56
  was
• 26:56
  last
• 26:57
  year.
• 26:58
  So
• 26:58
  there's
• 26:58
  risk.
• 26:59
  And
• 27:00
  I
• 27:01
  feel
• 27:01
  like
• 27:03
  the
• 27:03
  Yankees
• 27:04
  would
• 27:04
  definitely
• 27:04
  be
• 27:04
  willing
• 27:05
  to
• 27:05
  trade
• 27:05
  him.
• 27:05
  And
• 27:06
  I
• 27:06
  think
• 27:06
  there
• 27:06
  are
• 27:06
  teams
• 27:07
  that
• 27:08
  would
• 27:08
  be
• 27:08
  willing
• 27:08
  to
• 27:08
  take
• 27:09
  the
• 27:09
  risk
• 27:09
  just
• 27:09
  because
• 27:10
  his
• 27:11
  tools
• 27:12
  are
• 27:12
  ridiculous.
• 27:13
  I
• 27:13
  mean,
• 27:13
  when
• 27:14
  he's
• 27:14
  right,
• 27:15
  he
• 27:15
  can
• 27:15
  do
• 27:16
  everything,
• 27:18
  and
• 27:18
  he's
• 27:18
  enormous.
• 27:19
  He
• 27:19
  plays
• 27:19
  solid
• 27:20
  center
• 27:20
  field,
• 27:20
  but
• 27:20
  the
• 27:21
  raw
• 27:21
  power
• 27:21
  is
• 27:21
  stupid.
• 27:22
  He
• 27:22
  steals
• 27:23
  bases,
• 27:23
  you
• 27:24
  know,
• 27:24
  he
• 27:24
  can
• 27:24
  defend.
• 27:25
  It's
• 27:26
  really
• 27:26
  just
• 27:26
  a
• 27:26
  question
• 27:26
  of
• 27:27
  whether
• 27:28
  he'll
• 27:28
  hit
• 27:28
  enough
• 27:28
  at
• 27:29
  the
• 27:29
  big
• 27:29
  league
• 27:29
  level
• 27:29
  to
• 27:30
  use
• 27:31
  those
• 27:31
  other
• 27:31
  offensive
• 27:32
  tools
• 27:32
  to
• 27:33
  benefit.
• 27:34
  But
• 27:34
  I
• 27:35
  have
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  think
• 27:36
  there
• 27:36
  aren't
• 27:37
  too
• 27:37
  many
• 27:37
  players
• 27:37
  like
• 27:38
  that
• 27:38
  in
• 27:38
  the
• 27:38
  minors
• 27:39
  who
• 27:39
  have
• 27:41
  four
• 27:41
  very
• 27:42
  usable
• 27:42
  tools,
• 27:45
  you
• 27:45
  know,
• 27:45
  and
• 27:46
  want
• 27:46
  to
• 27:46
  see
• 27:47
  how
• 27:48
  that
• 27:48
  might
• 27:48
  look.
• 27:48
  And
• 27:49
  he's
• 27:49
  a
• 27:49
  guy
• 27:50
  that,
• 27:50
  that
• 27:50
  if
• 27:50
  I
• 27:50
  were
• 27:50
  to
• 27:51
  trade
• 27:51
  for
• 27:51
  him
• 27:51
  and
• 27:51
  I'm
• 27:51
  a
• 27:52
  team
• 27:52
  out
• 27:52
  of
• 27:52
  it,
• 27:52
  you
• 27:52
  call
• 27:52
  him
• 27:53
  up
• 27:53
  right
• 27:53
  now
• 27:53
  and
• 27:54
  see
• 27:54
  what
• 27:54
  you
• 27:54
  have.
• 27:56
  He
• 27:56
  doesn't
• 27:57
  bring
• 27:57
  in
• 27:57
  a
• 27:58
  top
• 27:59
  tier
• 27:59
  big
• 28:00
  leader,
• 28:01
  but
• 28:01
  maybe
• 28:01
  package
• 28:02
  him
• 28:02
  with
• 28:02
  some
• 28:02
  other
• 28:03
  things
• 28:03
  and
• 28:04
  can
• 28:04
  make
• 28:04
  something
• 28:04
  work.
• 28:05
  Jonathan,
• 28:06
  one
• 28:06
  more
• 28:06
  for
• 28:06
  you.
• 28:07
  I
• 28:07
  went
• 28:07
  back
• 28:07
  and
• 28:07
  looked
• 28:07
  at
• 28:08
  some
• 28:08
  of
• 28:08
  your
• 28:08
  top
• 28:08
  lefties
• 28:09
  from,
• 28:09
  I
• 28:09
  don't
• 28:10
  know,
• 28:10
  maybe
• 28:10
  it
• 28:10
  was
• 28:10
  10
• 28:10
  years
• 28:11
  ago.
• 28:11
  Julio
• 28:11
  Orios,
• 28:12
  Blake
• 28:12
  Snell,
• 28:13
  Steven
• 28:13
  Matz,
• 28:14
  Newcomb.
• 28:14
  I
• 28:15
  mean,
• 28:15
  it
• 28:15
  was
• 28:16
  one
• 28:16
  outlier
• 28:16
  in
• 28:16
  there.
• 28:16
  Tyler
• 28:17
  J.
• 28:17
  You
• 28:18
  got
• 28:18
  Hayter
• 28:18
  in
• 28:18
  there.
• 28:19
  Sean
• 28:19
  Menier,
• 28:20
  Amir
• 28:20
  Garrett.
• 28:22
  You
• 28:22
  know,
• 28:22
  when
• 28:22
  you
• 28:23
  hit
• 28:23
  so
• 28:23
  much
• 28:23
  with
• 28:23
  these
• 28:24
  guys
• 28:24
  who
• 28:24
  you
• 28:24
  consider
• 28:25
  your
• 28:25
  top
• 28:25
  10
• 28:26
  or
• 28:26
  whatever,
• 28:28
  how
• 28:28
  do
• 28:28
  you
• 28:28
  then
• 28:29
  go
• 28:29
  back
• 28:29
  and
• 28:30
  evaluate
• 28:31
  it
• 28:31
  later
• 28:31
  on
• 28:31
  and
• 28:32
  say,
• 28:32
  well,
• 28:32
  you
• 28:32
  know,
• 28:33
  this
• 28:33
  is
• 28:33
  what
• 28:33
  I
• 28:34
  saw
• 28:34
  that
• 28:35
  made
• 28:35
  me
• 28:35
  think
• 28:35
  these
• 28:35
  guys
• 28:36
  were
• 28:36
  going
• 28:36
  to
• 28:36
  be
• 28:36
  where
• 28:36
  they're
• 28:37
  at.
• 28:37
  Because
• 28:37
  the
• 28:37
  other
• 28:37
  thing
• 28:37
  is
• 28:38
  you're
• 28:38
  bringing
• 28:38
  in
• 28:38
  guys
• 28:39
  not
• 28:39
  only
• 28:39
  that
• 28:40
  you're
• 28:40
  evaluating
• 28:40
  in
• 28:40
  a
• 28:41
  draft,
• 28:41
  but
• 28:41
  also
• 28:41
  international
• 28:42
  guys
• 28:42
  who
• 28:43
  are
• 28:43
  not
• 28:43
  part
• 28:43
  of
• 28:43
  that
• 28:43
  draft.
• 28:45
  Right.
• 28:46
  And
• 28:46
  you
• 28:46
  won't
• 28:47
  see,
• 28:47
  you
• 28:47
  know,
• 28:47
  usually
• 28:47
  those
• 28:48
  international
• 28:48
  guys
• 28:49
  don't
• 28:49
  make
• 28:49
  it
• 28:49
  into
• 28:50
  like
• 28:50
  a
• 28:50
  top
• 28:50
  10
• 28:50
  position.
• 28:51
  That's
• 28:51
  the
• 28:51
  top
• 28:51
  100
• 28:52
  overall
• 28:53
  for
• 28:53
  a
• 28:54
  little
• 28:54
  while.
• 28:54
  I
• 28:55
  appreciate
• 28:55
  you
• 28:56
  not
• 28:56
  bringing
• 28:56
  up
• 28:56
  Henry
• 28:57
  Ellen
• 28:57
  from
• 28:57
  the
• 28:57
  2015
• 28:58
  top
• 28:58
  10.
• 28:59
  Los
• 28:59
  Angeles.
• 29:01
  Listen,
• 29:01
  you
• 29:02
  know,
• 29:02
  we
• 29:02
  miss.
• 29:03
  Often
• 29:05
  we
• 29:07
  feel
• 29:07
  grateful
• 29:08
  when.
• 29:08
  When
• 29:09
  we
• 29:09
  kind
• 29:09
  of
• 29:09
  quote,
• 29:09
  unquote,
• 29:10
  get
• 29:10
  it
• 29:10
  right.
• 29:10
  Like
• 29:11
  I
• 29:11
  said,
• 29:11
  we're
• 29:11
  not.
• 29:12
  I'm
• 29:13
  not
• 29:13
  evaluating.
• 29:14
  I'm
• 29:14
  not
• 29:14
  watching
• 29:15
  Julio
• 29:16
  on
• 29:17
  my
• 29:17
  own.
• 29:17
  And
• 29:17
  there
• 29:18
  are
• 29:18
  people
• 29:18
  who
• 29:18
  do
• 29:18
  that,
• 29:19
  you
• 29:19
  know,
• 29:19
  colleagues
• 29:20
  from
• 29:20
  other
• 29:22
  publications,
• 29:22
  websites.
• 29:23
  They
• 29:25
  evaluate
• 29:25
  and
• 29:25
  that's
• 29:26
  how
• 29:26
  they
• 29:26
  determine
• 29:26
  their
• 29:26
  rankings.
• 29:27
  But
• 29:28
  we
• 29:28
  do
• 29:28
  it
• 29:28
  by
• 29:29
  talking
• 29:29
  to
• 29:29
  as
• 29:29
  many
• 29:30
  people
• 29:30
  in
• 29:31
  the
• 29:31
  industry
• 29:31
  as
• 29:31
  possible
• 29:33
  before
• 29:34
  we,
• 29:36
  before
• 29:37
  we
• 29:37
  sort

  And
• 29:45
  then

  we
• 29:46
  dig
• 29:46
  a
• 29:46
  little
• 29:46
  deeper

  it's

  you

  know,
• 29:53
  you
• 29:54
  could
• 29:54
  probably
• 29:54
  go
• 29:54
  through

  over

  year
• 29:57
  and
• 29:57
  sometimes
• 29:58
  it
• 29:58
  looks
• 29:58
  really,
• 29:58
  really
• 29:59
  good
• 29:59
  and
• 30:00
  you
• 30:00
  have

  Carlos

• 30:03
  then

  you

  know,
• 30:03
  Andrew
• 30:04
  Haney
• 30:04

• 30:05
  Sean
• 30:06
  Benigny
• 30:06
  brought
• 30:07
  up
• 30:07
  and
• 30:07
  then
• 30:07
  there
• 30:07
  are
• 30:07
  probably
• 30:08
  years,
• 30:08
  you
• 30:08
  know,
• 30:08
  where
• 30:09
  nobody
• 30:10
  looks

  that,
• 30:10
  you
• 30:10
  know,
• 30:11
  it

  doesn't
• 30:11
  look
• 30:11
  nearly
• 30:12
  that
• 30:12
  good.
• 30:13
  So
• 30:15
  I
• 30:15
  am
• 30:15
  not
• 30:16
  arrogant
• 30:17
  enough
• 30:17
  to
• 30:17
  think
• 30:18
  that
• 30:18
  I
• 30:19
  have
• 30:19
  it
• 30:19
  figured

  Well,

  where

• 32:52
  a
• 32:52
  little
• 32:52
  bit
• 32:52
  about
• 32:52
  yourself
• 32:53
  and
• 32:53
  kind
• 32:53
  of
• 32:53
  how
• 32:53
  you
• 32:54
  got
• 32:54
  into
• 32:54
  baseball
• 32:55
  and
• 32:55
  sports.
• 32:56
  And,
• 32:57
  you
• 32:57
  know,
• 32:57
  I
• 32:58
  know
• 32:58
  you
• 32:59
  were
• 32:59
  interested
• 33:00
  in
• 33:00
  baseball
• 33:00
  at
• 33:01
  a
• 33:01
  young
• 33:01
  age.
• 33:01
  And
• 33:02
  for
• 33:02
  me
• 33:02
  it
• 33:02
  was
• 33:03
  85,
• 33:04
  watching
• 33:05
  the
• 33:05
  Royals
• 33:05
  and
• 33:05
  the
• 33:05
  Cardinals,
• 33:06
  and
• 33:06
  I
• 33:07
  became
• 33:07
  a
• 33:07
  Royals
• 33:07
  and
• 33:07
  a
• 33:08
  George
• 33:08
  Brett
• 33:08
  fan.
• 33:08
  And
• 33:09
  then
• 33:09
  86
• 33:09
  was
• 33:10
  the
• 33:10
  Mets
• 33:10
  and
• 33:10
  the
• 33:10
  Red
• 33:11
  Sox.
• 33:11
  So
• 33:12
  that's
• 33:12
  kind
• 33:12
  of
• 33:12
  how
• 33:12
  I
• 33:13
  got
• 33:13
  into
• 33:13
  becoming
• 33:14
  a
• 33:14
  Mets
• 33:14
  fan
• 33:14
  and
• 33:15
  enjoying
• 33:16
  baseball.
• 33:17
  What
• 33:17
  was
• 33:17
  it
• 33:17
  for
• 33:17
  you
• 33:17
  and
• 33:18
  how
• 33:18
  did
• 33:18
  you
• 33:18
  get
• 33:18
  involved
• 33:18
  in
• 33:18
  the
• 33:19
  business?
• 33:20
  Yeah,
• 33:20
  it
• 33:20
  was
• 33:20
  actually
• 33:20
  right
• 33:21
  around
• 33:21
  the
• 33:21
  same
• 33:21
  time,
• 33:22
  one
• 33:23
  of
• 33:23
  the
• 33:23
  years
• 33:23
  you
• 33:23
  mentioned
• 33:23
  86.
• 33:24
  I
• 33:24
  grew
• 33:24
  up
• 33:25
  about
• 33:25
  20
• 33:25
  miles
• 33:26
  west
• 33:26
  of
• 33:26
  Boston
• 33:27
  and
• 33:27
  grew
• 33:27
  up
• 33:27
  a
• 33:27
  Red
• 33:27
  Sox
• 33:28
  fan.
• 33:29
  And
• 33:29
  so
• 33:29
  the
• 33:29
  86
• 33:31
  team
• 33:31
  and
• 33:32
  their
• 33:32
  run
• 33:32
  to
• 33:32
  the
• 33:32
  World
• 33:33
  Series,
• 33:33
  as
• 33:33
  heartbreaking
• 33:34
  as
• 33:34
  it
• 33:34
  was
• 33:35
  for
• 33:35
  me
• 33:35
  as
• 33:36
  a
• 33:36
  nine
• 33:36
  year
• 33:36
  old,
• 33:37
  that
• 33:37
  was
• 33:37
  what
• 33:37
  really
• 33:37
  hooked
• 33:38
  me
• 33:38
  in.
• 33:38
  And
• 33:38
  so
• 33:39
  from
• 33:39
  that
• 33:39
  point
• 33:39
  on,
• 33:40
  I
• 33:40
  was.
• 33:41
  I
• 33:41
  definitely
• 33:41
  had
• 33:41
  the
• 33:42
  obsession
• 33:43
  with
• 33:43
  baseball
• 33:44
  for
• 33:44
  quite
• 33:44
  a
• 33:44
  long
• 33:44
  time.
• 33:46
  Wasn't
• 33:46
  very
• 33:46
  much
• 33:47
  of
• 33:47
  a.
• 33:47
  I
• 33:47
  wasn't
• 33:48
  a
• 33:48
  very
• 33:48
  good
• 33:48
  player.
• 33:49
  I
• 33:50
  describe
• 33:50
  myself
• 33:51
  as
• 33:51
  like
• 33:51
  a
• 33:51
  bad
• 33:52
  JV
• 33:52
  player
• 33:53
  in
• 33:53
  high
• 33:53
  school,
• 33:55
  but
• 33:55
  I
• 33:56
  loved
• 33:56
  the
• 33:56
  game
• 33:56
  and
• 33:57
  loved
• 33:57
  learning
• 33:57
  about
• 33:58
  the
• 33:58
  game
• 33:58
  and
• 33:58
  loved
• 33:59
  learning
• 33:59
  about
• 33:59
  all
• 33:59
  the
• 33:59
  different
• 34:00
  players
• 34:00
  and,
• 34:01
  you
• 34:01
  know,
• 34:01
  so
• 34:01
  I
• 34:02
  always
• 34:02
  had
• 34:02
  hoped
• 34:03
  I
• 34:03
  could
• 34:03
  work
• 34:03
  in
• 34:03
  baseball.
• 34:03
  I
• 34:04
  just
• 34:04
  didn't
• 34:04
  think
• 34:04
  I
• 34:04
  could.
• 34:05
  And.
• 34:05
  And
• 34:06
  I
• 34:06
  think
• 34:06
  probably
• 34:06
  the
• 34:07
  book
• 34:07
  Moneyball
• 34:07
  opened
• 34:08
  the
• 34:08
  door
• 34:08
  for
• 34:08
  people
• 34:08
  like
• 34:09
  me.
• 34:09
  I
• 34:09
  have
• 34:09
  a
• 34:10
  degree
• 34:10
  in
• 34:10
  math,
• 34:11
  and
• 34:11
  so
• 34:12
  coming
• 34:13
  into
• 34:13
  that
• 34:13
  kind
• 34:13
  of
• 34:13
  analytics,
• 34:14
  what
• 34:15
  was
• 34:15
  called
• 34:15
  analytics
• 34:16
  back
• 34:16
  then,
• 34:16
  which
• 34:16
  is
• 34:16
  very
• 34:16
  different
• 34:17
  from
• 34:17
  analytics
• 34:17
  now,
• 34:18
  but
• 34:18
  that's
• 34:18
  what
• 34:19
  kind
• 34:19
  of
• 34:19
  gave
• 34:19
  me
• 34:19
  my
• 34:19
  opportunity
• 34:21
  once
• 34:21
  the
• 34:21
  US
• 34:21
  Team
• 34:22
  became
• 34:22
  the
• 34:22
  general
• 34:22
  manager
• 34:22
  of
• 34:23
  the
• 34:23
  Red
• 34:23
  Sox.
• 34:24
  Interesting,
• 34:24
  because
• 34:24
  that's
• 34:25
  where
• 34:25
  I
• 34:25
  am
• 34:25
  now.
• 34:25
  I'm
• 34:25
  a
• 34:26
  high
• 34:26
  school
• 34:26
  math
• 34:26
  teacher,
• 34:27
  including
• 34:27
  teaching
• 34:28
  a
• 34:28
  college
• 34:29
  statistics
• 34:29
  class.
• 34:30
  And
• 34:30
  it's
• 34:31
  nice
• 34:31
  to
• 34:31
  be
• 34:31
  able
• 34:31
  to
• 34:32
  tell
• 34:32
  kids
• 34:32
  that
• 34:32
  at
• 34:32
  some
• 34:32
  point
• 34:33
  you
• 34:33
  might
• 34:34
  use
• 34:34
  this
• 34:34
  stuff
• 34:34
  that
• 34:35
  down
• 34:35
  the
• 34:35
  line
• 34:35
  and
• 34:35
  it
• 34:35
  might
• 34:35
  get
• 34:35
  you
• 34:36
  a
• 34:36
  job
• 34:36
  because
• 34:36
  you
• 34:36
  have
• 34:37
  some
• 34:37
  of
• 34:37
  these
• 34:38
  things
• 34:38
  that
• 34:38
  other
• 34:38
  people
• 34:39
  don't.
• 34:40
  Yeah,
• 34:41
  absolutely.
• 34:41
  It's
• 34:42
  actually
• 34:42
  I
• 34:42
  have
• 34:42
  some
• 34:43
  friends
• 34:43
  that
• 34:43
  are
• 34:43
  teachers
• 34:43
  and
• 34:44
  specifically
• 34:44
  math.
• 34:45
  High
• 34:45
  school
• 34:45
  math
• 34:45
  teachers.
• 34:46
  And
• 34:47
  it
• 34:47
  was
• 34:47
  one
• 34:47
  of
• 34:47
  the
• 34:47
  things
• 34:48
  that
• 34:48
  I
• 34:49
  enjoyed
• 34:49
  doing
• 34:49
  was
• 34:49
  to
• 34:50
  go
• 34:50
  speak
• 34:50
  to
• 34:50
  their
• 34:50
  classrooms
• 34:51
  just
• 34:51
  to
• 34:51
  get
• 34:51
  people
• 34:51
  excited
• 34:52
  about
• 34:52
  math
• 34:52
  and,
• 34:52
  you
• 34:53
  know,
• 34:53
  talk
• 34:53
  about
• 34:53
  something
• 34:54
  that's,
• 34:55
  you
• 34:55
  know,
• 34:55
  an
• 34:55
  exciting
• 34:56
  kind
• 34:56
  of
• 34:56
  job
• 34:56
  that,
• 34:57
  you
• 34:57
  know,
• 34:58
  allows
• 34:58
  people
• 34:58
  to
• 34:59
  think
• 34:59
  that
• 34:59
  this
• 34:59
  could
• 35:00
  actually
• 35:00
  lead
• 35:00
  me
• 35:00
  down
• 35:01
  an
• 35:01
  interesting
• 35:01
  path.
• 35:02
  Nice.
• 35:02
  I'll
• 35:02
  keep
• 35:03
  that
• 35:03
  one
• 35:03
  in
• 35:03
  the
• 35:03
  back
• 35:03
  of
• 35:03
  my
• 35:03
  mind.
• 35:04
  So
• 35:04
  you
• 35:04
  joined
• 35:04
  the
• 35:04
  Red
• 35:04
  Sox
• 35:05
  in
• 35:05
  2004,
• 35:07
  and
• 35:07
  you
• 35:08
  eventually
• 35:08
  catch
• 35:08
  on
• 35:09
  to
• 35:09
  a
• 35:09
  team
• 35:09
  with
• 35:09
  Theo
• 35:10
  Epstein
• 35:10
  that
• 35:11
  makes
• 35:11
  a
• 35:11
  nice
• 35:12
  run.
• 35:13
  Can
• 35:13
  you
• 35:13
  talk
• 35:13
  a
• 35:13
  little
• 35:13
  bit
• 35:14
  about
• 35:14
  that
• 35:14
  experience
• 35:14
  and
• 35:15
  how
• 35:15
  you
• 35:15
  grew
• 35:16
  in
• 35:16
  that
• 35:16
  organization?
• 35:18
  Yeah,
• 35:18
  I
• 35:19
  mean,
• 35:19
  I
• 35:19
  came
• 35:19
  into.
• 35:19
  I
• 35:20
  did
• 35:20
  a
• 35:20
  little
• 35:20
  bit
• 35:20
  of
• 35:20
  consulting
• 35:20
  with
• 35:21
  the
• 35:21
  Red
• 35:21
  Sox
• 35:21
  in
• 35:21
  03.
• 35:22
  I
• 35:22
  had
• 35:22
  met
• 35:22
  Theo
• 35:23
  at
• 35:24
  a
• 35:24
  charity
• 35:24
  event,
• 35:25
  just
• 35:25
  kind
• 35:25
  of
• 35:25
  by
• 35:26
  chance.
• 35:27
  And
• 35:27
  I
• 35:27
  had
• 35:27
  been
• 35:27
  working
• 35:28
  for
• 35:28
  four
• 35:28
  years
• 35:29
  prior
• 35:29
  to
• 35:29
  joining
• 35:30
  the
• 35:30
  Red
• 35:30
  Sox
• 35:31
  on
• 35:31
  a
• 35:31
  soft
• 35:32
  With
• 35:32
  a
• 35:32
  very
• 35:32
  small
• 35:33
  software
• 35:33
  development
• 35:34
  company.
• 35:34
  We
• 35:34
  made
• 35:35
  a
• 35:35
  game
• 35:35
  for
• 35:35
  your
• 35:36
  PC,
• 35:36
  baseball
• 35:37
  game
• 35:37
  for
• 35:37
  Windows.
• 35:38
  And
• 35:39
  so
• 35:39
  he
• 35:39
  knew
• 35:39
  about
• 35:40
  our
• 35:40
  game,
• 35:40
  and
• 35:40
  it
• 35:40
  was
• 35:41
  more
• 35:41
  of
• 35:41
  a
• 35:41
  simulation
• 35:41
  than
• 35:42
  it
• 35:42
  was
• 35:42
  kind
• 35:42
  of
• 35:42
  like
• 35:42
  a
• 35:43
  video
• 35:43
  arcade
• 35:43
  game.
• 35:44
  And
• 35:44
  so
• 35:44
  he
• 35:44
  wanted
• 35:44
  to
• 35:45
  know
• 35:45
  how
• 35:45
  we
• 35:45
  could
• 35:45
  help
• 35:45
  the
• 35:45
  Red
• 35:46
  Sox.
• 35:46
  And
• 35:46
  so
• 35:46
  we
• 35:46
  ended
• 35:47
  up
• 35:47
  doing
• 35:47
  some
• 35:47
  consulting
• 35:48
  at
• 35:48
  the
• 35:48
  end
• 35:48
  of
• 35:48
  the
• 35:48
  03
• 35:49
  season
• 35:49
  to
• 35:49
  help
• 35:49
  them
• 35:49
  prepare
• 35:50
  for
• 35:50
  the
• 35:50
  Oakland
• 35:51
  Division
• 35:52
  Series,
• 35:52
  which
• 35:52
  was
• 35:52
  pretty
• 35:52
  cool.
• 35:53
  So
• 35:53
  I
• 35:53
  got
• 35:53
  to
• 35:53
  meet
• 35:53
  the
• 35:54
  guys
• 35:54
  in
• 35:54
  baseball
• 35:54
  operations.
• 35:55
  We
• 35:55
  kind
• 35:55
  of
• 35:55
  ran
• 35:55
  some
• 35:56
  scenarios
• 35:56
  to
• 35:57
  see
• 35:57
  what,
• 35:57
  you
• 35:57
  know,
• 35:58
  try
• 35:58
  to
• 35:58
  get
• 35:58
  a
• 35:58
  sense
• 35:58
  of
• 35:58
  what
• 35:58
  we
• 35:59
  may
• 35:59
  be
• 36:00
  able
• 36:00
  to
• 36:00
  expect
• 36:00
  coming
• 36:01
  into
• 36:01
  the
• 36:01
  postseason
• 36:02
  series.
• 36:02
  So
• 36:03
  that
• 36:03
  was
• 36:03
  a
• 36:03
  cool
• 36:04
  start.
• 36:04
  And
• 36:04
  then
• 36:04
  I
• 36:04
  made
• 36:04
  the
• 36:04
  leap
• 36:05
  full
• 36:05
  time,
• 36:05
  which,
• 36:05
  in
• 36:06
  that
• 36:06
  case,
• 36:06
  there
• 36:06
  was
• 36:06
  only
• 36:06
  an
• 36:06
  internship
• 36:07
  available.
• 36:07
  So
• 36:07
  I
• 36:08
  did
• 36:09
  an
• 36:09
  internship
• 36:09
  for
• 36:09
  a
• 36:10
  year,
• 36:10
  and
• 36:10
  it
• 36:10
  was
• 36:11
  2004,
• 36:11
  and
• 36:12
  so
• 36:12
  it
• 36:12
  was
• 36:12
  very
• 36:12
  good
• 36:12
  timing
• 36:13
  to
• 36:13
  be
• 36:13
  a
• 36:13
  part
• 36:13
  of
• 36:14
  that
• 36:14
  whole
• 36:14
  team.
• 36:14
  And
• 36:15
  it
• 36:15
  was
• 36:15
  great.
• 36:16
  I
• 36:16
  mean,
• 36:17
  front
• 36:17
  offices
• 36:17
  are
• 36:17
  much
• 36:18
  larger
• 36:18
  than
• 36:18
  they
• 36:18
  were
• 36:19
  then,
• 36:19
  and
• 36:19
  even
• 36:19
  back
• 36:20
  then,
• 36:20
  we
• 36:20
  were
• 36:20
  probably
• 36:20
  considered
• 36:21
  large
• 36:21
  for
• 36:21
  the
• 36:21
  time.
• 36:22
  But
• 36:23
  will
• 36:23
  that
• 36:23
  really.
• 36:24
  What
• 36:24
  really
• 36:24
  helped
• 36:25
  accelerate
• 36:25
  my
• 36:25
  learning
• 36:26
  was
• 36:26
  that
• 36:26
  CEO
• 36:26
  had
• 36:26
  a
• 36:27
  very
• 36:27
  flat
• 36:27
  hierarchy
• 36:28
  where
• 36:29
  he
• 36:29
  let
• 36:30
  everyone
• 36:30
  into
• 36:30
  his
• 36:31
  circle
• 36:31
  and
• 36:31
  asked
• 36:32
  anybody
• 36:32
  for
• 36:33
  an
• 36:33
  opinion,
• 36:33
  including
• 36:34
  myself
• 36:34
  as
• 36:34
  an
• 36:34
  intern.
• 36:35
  So
• 36:36
  you
• 36:36
  just
• 36:36
  learn
• 36:37
  from
• 36:37
  being
• 36:37
  around.
• 36:37
  We
• 36:37
  were
• 36:37
  all
• 36:37
  in
• 36:38
  this
• 36:38
  open
• 36:38
  space
• 36:38
  in
• 36:39
  the
• 36:39
  basement
• 36:39
  of
• 36:39
  Fenway
• 36:39
  park,
• 36:40
  and
• 36:41
  there
• 36:41
  was
• 36:41
  just
• 36:42
  a
• 36:42
  lot
• 36:42
  of
• 36:42
  really
• 36:42
  good
• 36:42
  baseball
• 36:43
  talk
• 36:43
  going
• 36:43
  on.
• 36:43
  We
• 36:44
  were
• 36:44
  all
• 36:44
  mostly
• 36:44
  in
• 36:44
  our
• 36:44
  20s.
• 36:46
  Most
• 36:46
  of
• 36:47
  us
• 36:47
  were
• 36:47
  single,
• 36:47
  had
• 36:47
  no
• 36:48
  children.
• 36:48
  I
• 36:48
  think
• 36:48
  there
• 36:48
  was
• 36:48
  only
• 36:48
  one
• 36:49
  guy
• 36:49
  that
• 36:49
  had
• 36:49
  kids.
• 36:51
  So
• 36:51
  we
• 36:51
  lived
• 36:51
  at
• 36:51
  the
• 36:52
  ballpark.
• 36:52
  You
• 36:52
  know,
• 36:53
  it
• 36:53
  wasn't
• 36:53
  just
• 36:53
  the
• 36:54
  home
• 36:54
  games.
• 36:54
  The
• 36:54
  team
• 36:55
  was
• 36:55
  on
• 36:55
  the
• 36:55
  road.
• 36:55
  We'd
• 36:55
  be
• 36:56
  watching
• 36:56
  the
• 36:56
  games
• 36:56
  there
• 36:56
  while
• 36:57
  working.
• 36:58
  It
• 36:58
  was
• 36:58
  just
• 36:59
  what
• 36:59
  we
• 37:00
  loved.
• 37:00
  And
• 37:00
  so
• 37:01
  eventually,
• 37:01
  life
• 37:01
  changed,
• 37:02
  and
• 37:03
  we
• 37:03
  couldn't
• 37:03
  do
• 37:03
  that,
• 37:04
  but
• 37:05
  it
• 37:05
  was
• 37:05
  really
• 37:05
  a
• 37:05
  cool
• 37:06
  place
• 37:06
  to
• 37:06
  learn.
• 37:07
  Sounds
• 37:07
  like
• 37:07
  an
• 37:07
  interesting
• 37:08
  time
• 37:08
  for
• 37:09
  some
• 37:09
  young
• 37:10
  adults
• 37:10
  at
• 37:10
  Fenway
• 37:11
  park.
• 37:12
  Eventually,
• 37:13
  in
• 37:14
  late
• 37:14
  2020,
• 37:15
  you
• 37:15
  joined
• 37:15
  the
• 37:16
  Mets
• 37:16
  as
• 37:16
  an
• 37:16
  assistant
• 37:17
  GM,
• 37:17
  and
• 37:18
  I
• 37:18
  guess
• 37:18
  within
• 37:18
  like
• 37:19
  a
• 37:19
  month
• 37:19
  or
• 37:19
  so,
• 37:19
  you
• 37:19
  became
• 37:20
  the
• 37:20
  acting
• 37:20
  general
• 37:20
  manager
• 37:21
  of
• 37:21
  the
• 37:21
  Mets.
• 37:21
  Can
• 37:21
  you
• 37:22
  talk
• 37:22
  about
• 37:22
  that
• 37:22
  transition
• 37:23
  for
• 37:23
  you?
• 37:25
  Yeah,
• 37:25
  it
• 37:25
  was
• 37:25
  a
• 37:25
  little
• 37:25
  bit
• 37:26
  of
• 37:26
  a
• 37:26
  roller
• 37:26
  coaster.
• 37:27
  I
• 37:27
  was
• 37:27
  actually
• 37:27
  a
• 37:28
  finalist
• 37:28
  for
• 37:28
  the
• 37:29
  Mets
• 37:29
  GM
• 37:29
  job
• 37:29
  along
• 37:30
  with
• 37:30
  Jared
• 37:30
  Porter,
• 37:31
  who's
• 37:31
  a
• 37:31
  good
• 37:32
  friend
• 37:32
  of
• 37:32
  mine.
• 37:32
  And,
• 37:33
  you
• 37:33
  know,
• 37:33
  Jared
• 37:34
  beat
• 37:34
  me
• 37:34
  out
• 37:34
  for
• 37:34
  that.
• 37:35
  So
• 37:35
  I
• 37:36
  went
• 37:36
  from
• 37:36
  being
• 37:36
  very
• 37:36
  excited,
• 37:37
  possibly
• 37:37
  getting
• 37:38
  this
• 37:38
  job
• 37:38
  to,
• 37:39
  you
• 37:39
  know,
• 37:40
  devastated
• 37:40
  that
• 37:41
  I
• 37:41
  didn't
• 37:41
  get
• 37:41
  it.
• 37:42
  And
• 37:42
  then
• 37:42
  having
• 37:42
  the
• 37:43
  opportunity
• 37:43
  to
• 37:43
  make
• 37:44
  a
• 37:44
  lateral
• 37:44
  move
• 37:45
  as
• 37:45
  an
• 37:45
  assistant
• 37:46
  GM
• 37:46
  to
• 37:46
  join
• 37:47
  an
• 37:47
  organization
• 37:47
  that
• 37:48
  I
• 37:48
  thought
• 37:48
  had
• 37:48
  a
• 37:48
  lot
• 37:48
  of
• 37:48
  upside
• 37:49
  under
• 37:50
  it
• 37:50
  was
• 37:50
  Steve
• 37:50
  Cohen's
• 37:51
  first
• 37:51
  year
• 37:51
  of
• 37:51
  ownership.
• 37:52
  I'd
• 37:52
  be
• 37:52
  working
• 37:53
  with
• 37:54
  someone
• 37:54
  that
• 37:54
  I
• 37:54
  worked
• 37:54
  at
• 37:55
  the
• 37:55
  Red
• 37:55
  sox
• 37:56
  with
• 37:56
  for
• 37:57
  10
• 37:57
  years,
• 37:57
  and
• 37:57
  we
• 37:57
  were
• 37:58
  very
• 37:58
  close
• 37:58
  at
• 37:58
  the
• 37:58
  Red
• 37:58
  Sox,
• 37:59
  so
• 38:00
  someone
• 38:00
  that
• 38:00
  I
• 38:01
  knew
• 38:01
  what
• 38:01
  I'd
• 38:01
  be
• 38:02
  getting
• 38:02
  by
• 38:02
  working
• 38:02
  for
• 38:02
  them
• 38:03
  and
• 38:03
  being
• 38:03
  a
• 38:04
  partner
• 38:04
  with
• 38:04
  that
• 38:04
  person.
• 38:05
  So
• 38:06
  it
• 38:06
  was
• 38:06
  really
• 38:06
  exciting.
• 38:07
  But
• 38:07
  then,
• 38:07
  yeah,
• 38:08
  things
• 38:08
  went
• 38:09
  south
• 38:10
  for
• 38:10
  Jared
• 38:11
  very
• 38:11
  quickly
• 38:12
  and
• 38:12
  they
• 38:12
  made
• 38:12
  a
• 38:13
  change
• 38:13
  to
• 38:13
  move
• 38:13
  on
• 38:13
  and
• 38:14
  immediately
• 38:15
  put
• 38:15
  me
• 38:15
  into
• 38:15
  that
• 38:15
  acting
• 38:16
  GM
• 38:16
  role
• 38:17
  where
• 38:17
  I'm
• 38:17
  running
• 38:17
  kind
• 38:18
  of
• 38:18
  the
• 38:18
  daily
• 38:18
  meeting,
• 38:19
  you
• 38:20
  know,
• 38:20
  an
• 38:20
  hour
• 38:20
  or
• 38:21
  two
• 38:21
  after
• 38:21
  I
• 38:21
  found
• 38:22
  out
• 38:22
  what
• 38:22
  happened.
• 38:23
  So
• 38:24
  it
• 38:24
  was
• 38:24
  a
• 38:25
  bit
• 38:25
  of
• 38:25
  an
• 38:25
  up
• 38:25
  and
• 38:25
  down
• 38:25
  thing,
• 38:26
  but,
• 38:26
  you
• 38:26
  know,
• 38:26
  I
• 38:27
  had
• 38:27
  to.
• 38:28
  Had
• 38:28
  to,
• 38:28
  you
• 38:29
  know,
• 38:29
  step
• 38:29
  up
• 38:29
  and
• 38:30
  do
• 38:30
  the
• 38:30
  best
• 38:30
  job
• 38:30
  I
• 38:31
  could.
• 38:31
  And
• 38:31
  it
• 38:31
  was,
• 38:31
  you
• 38:31
  know,
• 38:31
  an
• 38:32
  interesting
• 38:32
  scenario
• 38:32
  because
• 38:32
  you're
• 38:33
  coming
• 38:33
  into
• 38:33
  it
• 38:33
  where
• 38:33
  you,
• 38:34
  Sandy
• 38:34
  Alderson
• 38:34
  there,
• 38:34
  who's
• 38:35
  obviously
• 38:35
  had
• 38:35
  a
• 38:35
  great
• 38:35
  career
• 38:36
  as
• 38:36
  a
• 38:36
  baseball,
• 38:37
  you
• 38:37
  know,
• 38:37
  leader
• 38:38
  of
• 38:38
  baseball
• 38:38
  operations,
• 38:39
  he's
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  president,
• 38:39
  mostly
• 38:40
  focused
• 38:40
  on
• 38:40
  the
• 38:40
  business
• 38:41
  side.
• 38:41
  So
• 38:41
  it
• 38:41
  was
• 38:41
  great
• 38:41
  that
• 38:42
  he
• 38:42
  delegated
• 38:43
  so
• 38:43
  much
• 38:43
  to
• 38:43
  me
• 38:43
  and
• 38:43
  let
• 38:44
  me
• 38:44
  just
• 38:44
  be
• 38:44
  the
• 38:45
  GM
• 38:45
  on
• 38:45
  a
• 38:45
  day
• 38:45
  to
• 38:45
  day
• 38:45
  basis.
• 38:46
  And
• 38:46
  yet,
• 38:47
  Steve,
• 38:47
  a
• 38:47
  new
• 38:47
  owner
• 38:47
  who
• 38:48
  was
• 38:48
  wanting
• 38:48
  to
• 38:48
  learn
• 38:48
  a
• 38:49
  lot
• 38:49
  and
• 38:49
  ask
• 38:49
  a
• 38:49
  lot
• 38:49
  of
• 38:49
  good
• 38:50
  questions,
• 38:51
  and
• 38:51
  also
• 38:52
  trying
• 38:52
  to
• 38:52
  figure
• 38:52
  out
• 38:52
  who
• 38:52
  he
• 38:53
  was
• 38:53
  going
• 38:53
  to
• 38:53
  be
• 38:53
  as
• 38:53
  an
• 38:54
  owner.
• 38:54
  Was
• 38:54
  he
• 38:55
  going
• 38:55
  to
• 38:55
  be.
• 38:56
  How
• 38:56
  much
• 38:56
  interaction
• 38:57
  was
• 38:57
  he
• 38:57
  going
• 38:57
  to
• 38:57
  have
• 38:57
  with
• 38:57
  the
• 38:57
  fans
• 38:58
  over
• 38:58
  Twitter?
• 39:00
  Should
• 39:00
  he
• 39:00
  be
• 39:00
  calling
• 39:00
  the
• 39:00
  team
• 39:01
  out
• 39:01
  like
• 39:01
  George
• 39:01
  Steinbrenner
• 39:02
  style?
• 39:02
  These
• 39:02
  were
• 39:02
  things
• 39:03
  he
• 39:03
  was
• 39:03
  trying
• 39:03
  to
• 39:03
  figure
• 39:03
  out
• 39:03
  who
• 39:04
  he
• 39:04
  was
• 39:04
  going
• 39:04
  to
• 39:04
  be
• 39:05
  as
• 39:05
  an
• 39:05
  owner.
• 39:06
  And
• 39:06
  so
• 39:07
  it
• 39:07
  was
• 39:07
  a
• 39:07
  lot
• 39:07
  of
• 39:09
  interesting
• 39:09
  moments
• 39:10
  during
• 39:10
  that
• 39:10
  season
• 39:11
  because
• 39:11
  everyone
• 39:11
  was
• 39:11
  kind
• 39:11
  of
• 39:12
  figuring
• 39:12
  out
• 39:12
  how
• 39:12
  the
• 39:12
  role
• 39:12
  was
• 39:13
  going
• 39:13
  to
• 39:13
  work
• 39:13
  with
• 39:13
  each
• 39:13
  other.
• 39:14
  But
• 39:14
  the
• 39:14
  Mets
• 39:15
  were
• 39:15
  actually
• 39:15
  doing
• 39:15
  pretty
• 39:15
  well
• 39:16
  that
• 39:16
  year.
• 39:16
  So
• 39:17
  it
• 39:17
  comes
• 39:17
  time
• 39:17
  this
• 39:18
  time
• 39:18
  of
• 39:18
  year
• 39:18
  in
• 39:19
  2021,
• 39:20
  and
• 39:20
  you
• 39:21
  have
• 39:21
  some
• 39:21
  decisions
• 39:21
  to
• 39:22
  make.
• 39:22
  Obviously
• 39:22
  people
• 39:22
  want
• 39:23
  to
• 39:23
  call
• 39:23
  out
• 39:23
  the
• 39:23
  one
• 39:24
  big
• 39:24
  trade
• 39:25
  that
• 39:25
  was
• 39:25
  made.
• 39:26
  And
• 39:26
  can
• 39:26
  you
• 39:26
  kind
• 39:26
  of
• 39:27
  go
• 39:27
  through,
• 39:27
  you
• 39:28
  know,
• 39:28
  maybe
• 39:28
  a
• 39:28
  little
• 39:29
  bit
• 39:29
  of
• 39:29
  the
• 39:29
  depletion
• 39:29
  of
• 39:30
  our
• 39:30
  scouting
• 39:30
  department
• 39:31
  here
• 39:31
  with
• 39:31
  the
• 39:31
  Mets
• 39:32
  to
• 39:32
  the
• 39:32
  decision
• 39:33
  that
• 39:33
  you
• 39:33
  had
• 39:33
  to
• 39:34
  make
• 39:34
  on
• 39:34
  the
• 39:34
  fly
• 39:34
  to
• 39:35
  make
• 39:35
  this
• 39:35
  team
• 39:35
  better
• 39:35
  at
• 39:35
  the
• 39:36
  time?
• 39:37
  Yeah.
• 39:37
  So
• 39:38
  before
• 39:38
  I
• 39:38
  joined
• 39:38
  the
• 39:39
  Mets,
• 39:39
  you
• 39:39
  know,
• 39:39
  when
• 39:40
  they
• 39:40
  knew
• 39:40
  they
• 39:40
  were
• 39:40
  going
• 39:40
  to
• 39:40
  make
• 39:40
  a
• 39:41
  change
• 39:41
  in
• 39:41
  leadership
• 39:42
  and
• 39:43
  moved
• 39:43
  on
• 39:43
  from
• 39:43
  Brody
• 39:43
  Van
• 39:44
  Wagenen.
• 39:44
  They
• 39:44
  also
• 39:45
  moved
• 39:45
  on
• 39:46
  from
• 39:46
  several
• 39:46
  other
• 39:47
  people.
• 39:47
  And
• 39:48
  so
• 39:48
  in
• 39:49
  a
• 39:49
  lot
• 39:49
  of
• 39:49
  ways
• 39:49
  they
• 39:50
  were
• 39:50
  rudderless.
• 39:51
  And
• 39:51
  then
• 39:51
  when
• 39:52
  Jared
• 39:52
  came
• 39:52
  on
• 39:53
  and
• 39:53
  very,
• 39:54
  very
• 39:54
  quickly
• 39:54
  brought
• 39:55
  me
• 39:55
  on,
• 39:56
  we
• 39:56
  had
• 39:56
  to
• 39:56
  hire
• 39:57
  several
• 39:57
  director
• 39:57
  level
• 39:58
  employees
• 39:59
  in
• 39:59
  player
• 39:59
  development,
• 40:00
  in
• 40:01
  other
• 40:01
  areas,
• 40:02
  analytics.
• 40:03
  And
• 40:03
  there
• 40:04
  was
• 40:04
  just.
• 40:04
  They
• 40:04
  were
• 40:04
  very
• 40:05
  far
• 40:05
  behind
• 40:06
  analytically.
• 40:08
  So
• 40:08
  there
• 40:09
  weren't
• 40:09
  the
• 40:09
  tools
• 40:09
  that
• 40:10
  I
• 40:10
  was
• 40:10
  used
• 40:10
  to
• 40:10
  having
• 40:10
  in
• 40:10
  Boston
• 40:11
  or
• 40:11
  the
• 40:11
  tools
• 40:11
  that
• 40:11
  Jared
• 40:12
  was
• 40:12
  used
• 40:12
  to
• 40:12
  having
• 40:12
  in
• 40:12
  Arizona
• 40:13
  or
• 40:13
  Chicago
• 40:13
  before
• 40:13
  that.
• 40:14
  And
• 40:14
  so,
• 40:15
  you
• 40:15
  know,
• 40:15
  the
• 40:15
  information
• 40:17
  was
• 40:18
  not
• 40:19
  something
• 40:19
  that
• 40:19
  we
• 40:20
  felt
• 40:20
  as
• 40:20
  comfortable
• 40:20
  with.
• 40:21
  And
• 40:21
  same
• 40:21
  thing
• 40:21
  with
• 40:21
  on
• 40:22
  the
• 40:22
  scouting
• 40:22
  side.
• 40:23
  Their
• 40:23
  coverage
• 40:24
  was
• 40:24
  a
• 40:24
  little
• 40:24
  spotty.
• 40:25
  They
• 40:25
  didn't
• 40:25
  have
• 40:26
  full
• 40:26
  coverage
• 40:27
  of
• 40:27
  all
• 40:28
  the
• 40:28
  players.
• 40:28
  I
• 40:29
  didn't
• 40:29
  know
• 40:29
  the
• 40:29
  scouts
• 40:30
  that
• 40:30
  well.
• 40:30
  I
• 40:30
  knew
• 40:30
  one
• 40:31
  was
• 40:32
  a
• 40:32
  couple
• 40:33
  guys
• 40:33
  that
• 40:33
  had
• 40:33
  been
• 40:33
  in
• 40:33
  Boston
• 40:34
  that
• 40:34
  I
• 40:34
  knew.
• 40:35
  So
• 40:36
  I
• 40:36
  knew
• 40:36
  what
• 40:36
  to
• 40:36
  expect
• 40:36
  from
• 40:37
  them.
• 40:37
  I
• 40:37
  knew
• 40:37
  how
• 40:37
  much
• 40:37
  I
• 40:38
  could
• 40:38
  trust
• 40:38
  them,
• 40:38
  but
• 40:38
  I
• 40:39
  was
• 40:39
  learning
• 40:39
  that
• 40:40
  from
• 40:40
  everyone
• 40:40
  else.
• 40:40
  So
• 40:41
  to
• 40:41
  go
• 40:41
  into
• 40:42
  a
• 40:42
  trade
• 40:42
  deadline
• 40:43
  and
• 40:43
  our
• 40:43
  guys
• 40:43
  did
• 40:43
  a
• 40:43
  great
• 40:44
  job
• 40:44
  of
• 40:44
  doing
• 40:44
  the
• 40:44
  best
• 40:45
  they
• 40:45
  could,
• 40:45
  especially
• 40:46
  in
• 40:46
  the
• 40:46
  analytics,
• 40:46
  had
• 40:46
  to
• 40:47
  put
• 40:47
  as
• 40:47
  much
• 40:47
  information
• 40:48
  together
• 40:48
  to
• 40:49
  help
• 40:49
  prepare
• 40:49
  us
• 40:50
  for
• 40:50
  these
• 40:50
  things.
• 40:50
  They
• 40:51
  did
• 40:51
  the
• 40:51
  best
• 40:51
  they
• 40:51
  could.
• 40:51
  There
• 40:51
  was
• 40:52
  a
• 40:52
  little
• 40:52
  bit
• 40:52
  of
• 40:52
  flying,
• 40:53
  not
• 40:53
  flying
• 40:53
  blind,
• 40:54
  but
• 40:54
  flying
• 40:54
  with
• 40:55
  a
• 40:55
  lot
• 40:55
  of
• 40:55
  holes
• 40:56
  in
• 40:56
  the
• 40:56
  information.
• 40:56
  But
• 40:57
  I
• 40:57
  think
• 40:57
  we
• 40:58
  did
• 40:58
  the
• 40:58
  best
• 40:58
  we
• 40:58
  could
• 40:58
  in
• 40:58
  having
• 40:59
  a
• 40:59
  process.
• 40:59
  And
• 41:00
  you
• 41:00
  know,
• 41:00
  the
• 41:00
  trade
• 41:00
  that
• 41:00
  you're
• 41:01
  referring
• 41:01
  to
• 41:01
  is
• 41:01
  obviously
• 41:02
  us
• 41:02
  trading
• 41:02
  Pete
• 41:03
  Carl
• 41:03
  Armstrong
• 41:03
  for
• 41:04
  Javi
• 41:04
  Baez
• 41:05
  and
• 41:06
  Williams,
• 41:07
  the
• 41:07
  pitcher
• 41:07
  who
• 41:08
  actually
• 41:08
  was
• 41:08
  great
• 41:09
  and
• 41:09
  Trevor
• 41:09
  Williams
• 41:10
  was
• 41:10
  great
• 41:10
  for
• 41:11
  us,
• 41:11
  especially
• 41:12
  for
• 41:12
  them
• 41:12
  after
• 41:12
  I
• 41:12
  was
• 41:12
  gone
• 41:13
  in
• 41:13
  2022
• 41:15
  and
• 41:15
  Baez
• 41:15
  was
• 41:16
  great
• 41:16
  for
• 41:16
  us
• 41:16
  as
• 41:16
  well.
• 41:16
  But,
• 41:17
  you
• 41:17
  know,
• 41:17
  we
• 41:17
  gave
• 41:17
  up
• 41:18
  a
• 41:18
  player
• 41:18
  who's
• 41:18
  now
• 41:18
  four
• 41:19
  years
• 41:19
  later
• 41:19
  looking
• 41:20
  like,
• 41:20
  you
• 41:21
  know,
• 41:21
  made
• 41:21
  the
• 41:21
  all
• 41:21
  star
• 41:21
  team
• 41:21
  as
• 41:22
  an
• 41:22
  impact
• 41:22
  player
• 41:22
  for
• 41:22
  the
• 41:22
  Chicago
• 41:23
  Cubs
• 41:23
  and
• 41:23
  definitely
• 41:23
  would
• 41:24
  be
• 41:24
  a
• 41:24
  player
• 41:24
  that
• 41:24
  would
• 41:24
  fit
• 41:25
  perfectly
• 41:25
  for
• 41:25
  the
• 41:26
  needs
• 41:26
  of
• 41:26
  the
• 41:26
  New
• 41:26
  York
• 41:26
  Mets
• 41:27
  here
• 41:27
  at
• 41:27
  the
• 41:27
  trade
• 41:28
  deadline.
• 41:28
  So
• 41:29
  that's
• 41:29
  a
• 41:29
  tough
• 41:29
  one.
• 41:30
  I
• 41:30
  mean,
• 41:30
  it's
• 41:32
  the
• 41:32
  player.
• 41:32
  I
• 41:33
  give
• 41:33
  a
• 41:33
  lot
• 41:33
  of
• 41:33
  credit
• 41:34
  to
• 41:34
  the
• 41:34
  player.
• 41:34
  I
• 41:34
  don't
• 41:35
  think
• 41:35
  anyone
• 41:35
  in
• 41:35
  the
• 41:35
  organization
• 41:36
  saw
• 41:36
  this
• 41:37
  power
• 41:37
  coming
• 41:37
  from
• 41:37
  him.
• 41:38
  In
• 41:38
  fact,
• 41:38
  I
• 41:38
  don't
• 41:38
  think
• 41:38
  anyone
• 41:39
  in
• 41:39
  the
• 41:39
  industry
• 41:40
  saw
• 41:40
  this
• 41:40
  power
• 41:40
  coming
• 41:41
  from
• 41:41
  him.
• 41:41
  I'm
• 41:41
  not
• 41:41
  sure
• 41:41
  he
• 41:42
  saw
• 41:42
  the
• 41:42
  power
• 41:42
  coming
• 41:42
  from
• 41:43
  him,
• 41:43
  but
• 41:43
  a
• 41:44
  great
• 41:44
  kid,
• 41:44
  great
• 41:45
  makeup,
• 41:45
  great
• 41:46
  speed
• 41:46
  and
• 41:46
  defense.
• 41:46
  We
• 41:47
  knew
• 41:47
  about
• 41:47
  that
• 41:48
  he
• 41:48
  had
• 41:49
  been
• 41:49
  injured
• 41:49
  with
• 41:49
  a
• 41:49
  significant
• 41:50
  shoulder
• 41:50
  injury.
• 41:50
  We
• 41:51
  did
• 41:51
  not
• 41:51
  know
• 41:52
  what
• 41:53
  that
• 41:53
  may
• 41:53
  do
• 41:54
  to
• 41:54
  him
• 41:54
  in
• 41:54
  the
• 41:54
  future.
• 41:54
  But
• 41:55
  hey,
• 41:55
  he
• 41:55
  went
• 41:56
  from
• 41:56
  being,
• 41:56
  you
• 41:56
  know,
• 41:56
  not
• 41:57
  being
• 41:57
  a
• 41:57
  ranked
• 41:57
  top
• 41:58
  100
• 41:58
  prospect
• 41:58
  to
• 41:59
  being
• 41:59
  one
• 41:59
  of
• 41:59
  the
• 41:59
  top
• 41:59
  prospects
• 42:00
  in
• 42:00
  baseball
• 42:00
  and
• 42:00
  now
• 42:00
  one
• 42:00
  of
• 42:01
  the
• 42:01
  one
• 42:01
  of
• 42:01
  the
• 42:01
  better,
• 42:01
  best
• 42:02
  all
• 42:02
  around
• 42:02
  big
• 42:02
  leaguers
• 42:03
  in
• 42:03
  the
• 42:03
  game.
• 42:03
  It
• 42:04
  was
• 42:04
  interesting
• 42:04
  to
• 42:04
  see
• 42:04
  this
• 42:05
  year
• 42:05
  the
• 42:05
  MLB
• 42:05
  All
• 42:05
  Star
• 42:06
  Game,
• 42:06
  both
• 42:06
  of
• 42:06
  them
• 42:07
  starting
• 42:08
  center
• 42:08
  fielders,
• 42:09
  both
• 42:09
  Baez
• 42:10
  and
• 42:10
  Pete
• 42:10
  Carl
• 42:10
  Armstrong.
• 42:11
  So
• 42:12
  let's
• 42:12
  change
• 42:12
  it
• 42:13
  up
• 42:13
  a
• 42:13
  little
• 42:13
  bit
• 42:13
  and
• 42:14
  talk
• 42:14
  about
• 42:14
  this
• 42:14
  year.
• 42:15
  We're
• 42:15
  talking
• 42:15
  with
• 42:15
  Zach
• 42:15
  Scott,
• 42:16
  former
• 42:16
  MLB
• 42:17
  general
• 42:17
  manager.
• 42:18
  So
• 42:18
  this
• 42:19
  time
• 42:19
  of
• 42:19
  year
• 42:19
  we're
• 42:19
  a
• 42:19
  couple
• 42:20
  of
• 42:20
  days
• 42:20
  away.
• 42:20
  Teams
• 42:21
  at
• 42:21
  this
• 42:21
  point
• 42:21
  now
• 42:22
  are
• 42:23
  trying
• 42:23
  to
• 42:23
  see
• 42:23
  where
• 42:23
  they're
• 42:24
  at.
• 42:24
  One
• 42:24
  of
• 42:24
  the
• 42:24
  things
• 42:24
  I
• 42:24
  said
• 42:25
  at
• 42:25
  the
• 42:25
  top
• 42:25
  of
• 42:25
  the
• 42:25
  show
• 42:25
  is
• 42:26
  with
• 42:26
  the
• 42:26
  amount
• 42:27
  of
• 42:27
  teams
• 42:27
  that
• 42:27
  now
• 42:27
  make
• 42:27
  the
• 42:28
  playoffs,
• 42:28
  I
• 42:29
  think
• 42:29
  that
• 42:29
  this
• 42:29
  trade
• 42:30
  deadline
• 42:30
  should
• 42:30
  get
• 42:31
  moved
• 42:31
  back
• 42:31
  to
• 42:31
  maybe
• 42:32
  August
• 42:33
  15th,
• 42:33
  something
• 42:34
  like
• 42:34
  that.
• 42:34
  I
• 42:34
  know
• 42:34
  they
• 42:34
  used
• 42:35
  to
• 42:35
  have
• 42:35
  the
• 42:35
  non
• 42:36
  waiver
• 42:36
  deadline
• 42:37
  at
• 42:37
  the
• 42:37
  end
• 42:37
  of
• 42:37
  August,
• 42:38
  but
• 42:39
  I
• 42:39
  think
• 42:39
  right
• 42:40
  now
• 42:40
  there's
• 42:40
  just
• 42:40
  too
• 42:40
  many
• 42:41
  teams
• 42:41
  who
• 42:41
  think
• 42:41
  they
• 42:41
  might
• 42:42
  be
• 42:42
  part
• 42:42
  of
• 42:42
  it
• 42:42
  and
• 42:43
  not
• 42:43
  willing
• 42:43
  to
• 42:43
  part
• 42:44
  ways
• 42:44
  with
• 42:44
  somebody.
• 42:45
  And
• 42:45
  then
• 42:45
  there's
• 42:45
  other
• 42:45
  teams
• 42:46
  that
• 42:46
  want
• 42:46
  their
• 42:46
  players
• 42:47
  and
• 42:47
  you
• 42:47
  hit
• 42:47
  a
• 42:48
  standstill.
• 42:50
  Yeah,
• 42:50
  the
• 42:50
  August
• 42:50
  15
• 42:51
  thing
• 42:51
  I'm
• 42:52
  in
• 42:52
  favor
• 42:52
  of,
• 42:52
  I
• 42:52
  think
• 42:53
  that
• 42:53
  would
• 42:53
  help
• 42:54
  teams
• 42:54
  figure
• 42:54
  out
• 42:54
  because
• 42:56
  one
• 42:56
  of
• 42:56
  the
• 42:56
  toughest
• 42:56
  things
• 42:57
  to
• 42:57
  do
• 42:57
  as
• 42:57
  a
• 42:58
  general
• 42:58
  manager
• 42:58
  is
• 42:58
  to
• 42:58
  make
• 42:59
  that
• 42:59
  call
• 42:59
  whether
• 42:59
  you're
• 43:00
  in
• 43:00
  or
• 43:00
  out
• 43:00
  for
• 43:00
  the
• 43:00
  current
• 43:01
  season.
• 43:02
  I
• 43:02
  don't
• 43:02
  like
• 43:02
  to
• 43:02
  say
• 43:02
  buy
• 43:03
  or
• 43:03
  sell
• 43:03
  because
• 43:03
  you
• 43:04
  know
• 43:04
  you
• 43:04
  can
• 43:04
  be
• 43:05
  out
• 43:05
  for
• 43:05
  this
• 43:05
  year
• 43:05
  and
• 43:06
  still
• 43:06
  be
• 43:06
  buying
• 43:06
  players
• 43:07
  if
• 43:07
  you're
• 43:07
  controllable
• 43:07
  for
• 43:08
  beyond
• 43:08
  this
• 43:09
  year.
• 43:09
  Right.
• 43:10
  But
• 43:11
  you
• 43:11
  know,
• 43:11
  it's
• 43:11
  hard
• 43:11
  to
• 43:11
  make
• 43:12
  that
• 43:12
  call
• 43:12
  for,
• 43:13
  you
• 43:13
  know,
• 43:13
  when
• 43:13
  you're
• 43:13
  trying
• 43:13
  to
• 43:14
  do
• 43:14
  it
• 43:14
  and
• 43:14
  you
• 43:15
  know,
• 43:15
  you're
• 43:16
  working
• 43:16
  on
• 43:16
  behalf
• 43:16
  of
• 43:17
  the
• 43:17
  fans
• 43:17
  and
• 43:17
  the
• 43:17
  players
• 43:17
  and
• 43:18
  you
• 43:18
  want
• 43:19
  to
• 43:19
  give
• 43:19
  it
• 43:19
  the
• 43:19
  best
• 43:19
  shot
• 43:19
  you
• 43:20
  can,
• 43:20
  but
• 43:20
  it's
• 43:21
  the
• 43:21
  deadline
• 43:21
  makes
• 43:22
  you
• 43:22
  have
• 43:22
  to
• 43:22
  make
• 43:22
  that
• 43:22
  decision.
• 43:23
  So
• 43:23
  those
• 43:23
  teams
• 43:23
  especially
• 43:24
  that
• 43:24
  are
• 43:24
  on
• 43:24
  the
• 43:24
  bubble,
• 43:25
  they
• 43:25
  have
• 43:26
  to
• 43:26
  make
• 43:26
  a
• 43:26
  call
• 43:26
  and
• 43:26
  if
• 43:26
  they
• 43:26
  think
• 43:27
  they're
• 43:27
  actually
• 43:27
  in
• 43:27
  it,
• 43:28
  you
• 43:28
  could
• 43:28
  argue
• 43:28
  that
• 43:29
  those
• 43:29
  are
• 43:29
  the
• 43:29
  teams
• 43:29
  that
• 43:29
  should
• 43:29
  be
• 43:30
  most
• 43:30
  aggressive
• 43:30
  because
• 43:31
  they're
• 43:31
  on
• 43:32
  the
• 43:32
  cusp
• 43:32
  and
• 43:33
  that
• 43:33
  maybe
• 43:33
  getting,
• 43:34
  adding
• 43:34
  some
• 43:34
  talent
• 43:35
  is
• 43:35
  the
• 43:35
  difference
• 43:35
  between
• 43:35
  making
• 43:36
  it
• 43:36
  and
• 43:36
  not
• 43:36
  making
• 43:36
  it
• 43:37
  it.
• 43:37
  But
• 43:38
  I
• 43:38
  do
• 43:38
  think
• 43:38
  when
• 43:38
  I
• 43:39
  look
• 43:39
  at
• 43:39
  this
• 43:39
  year,
• 43:40
  I
• 43:40
  mean
• 43:40
  I
• 43:40
  do,
• 43:41
  especially
• 43:41
  in
• 43:41
  the
• 43:41
  National
• 43:42
  League,
• 43:42
  I
• 43:42
  mean
• 43:44
  almost
• 43:44
  feels
• 43:44
  like
• 43:45
  there
• 43:45
  are
• 43:45
  seven
• 43:45
  spots
• 43:46
  that
• 43:46
  are
• 43:46
  pretty,
• 43:47
  pretty
• 43:47
  not
• 43:48
  locked
• 43:48
  in.
• 43:48
  But
• 43:49
  it's
• 43:49
  going
• 43:49
  to
• 43:49
  be
• 43:49
  hard
• 43:50
  for,
• 43:50
  you
• 43:51
  know,
• 43:51
  outside
• 43:51
  of
• 43:51
  the,
• 43:51
  you
• 43:51
  know,
• 43:51
  you
• 43:52
  get
• 43:52
  the
• 43:52
  Dodgers,
• 43:52
  the
• 43:52
  Cubs,
• 43:53
  Mets,
• 43:53
  Phillies,
• 43:54
  Milwaukee.
• 43:55
  I
• 43:55
  mean
• 43:55
  it
• 43:56
  feels
• 43:56
  like
• 43:56
  there's
• 43:56
  about
• 43:57
  three
• 43:57
  teams
• 43:57
  maybe
• 43:58
  fighting
• 43:58
  for
• 43:58
  one
• 43:58
  spot
• 43:59
  in
• 43:59
  the
• 43:59
  nl,
• 43:59
  San
• 44:00
  Diego,
• 44:00
  Cincinnati,
• 44:00
  San.
• 44:01
  Fran,
• 44:02
  the
• 44:02
  Marlins
• 44:03
  are
• 44:03
  trying
• 44:03
  to
• 44:03
  catch.
• 44:04
  In
• 44:05
  Yeah,
• 44:06
  I
• 44:06
  just.
• 44:06
  I
• 44:06
  find
• 44:06
  that
• 44:07
  hard
• 44:07
  to
• 44:07
  believe
• 44:07
  and
• 44:07
  I'm
• 44:08
  not
• 44:08
  sure
• 44:08
  it's
• 44:09
  with
• 44:09
  some
• 44:09
  teams.
• 44:10
  I
• 44:10
  look
• 44:10
  at
• 44:10
  them
• 44:10
  like
• 44:11
  the
• 44:11
  Cardinals
• 44:11
  would
• 44:11
  be
• 44:11
  another
• 44:12
  one.
• 44:12
  Marlins.
• 44:13
  I'm
• 44:14
  not
• 44:14
  sure
• 44:14
  it's
• 44:14
  in
• 44:14
  their
• 44:14
  interest
• 44:14
  to
• 44:15
  buy
• 44:16
  given
• 44:16
  what
• 44:16
  maybe
• 44:16
  their
• 44:17
  longer
• 44:17
  term
• 44:17
  plan
• 44:17
  is.
• 44:18
  So
• 44:19
  if
• 44:19
  that's
• 44:20
  how
• 44:20
  they're
• 44:20
  feeling,
• 44:20
  and
• 44:20
  I
• 44:20
  don't
• 44:20
  know,
• 44:21
  I'm
• 44:21
  not
• 44:21
  inside
• 44:21
  their
• 44:21
  walls,
• 44:21
  but
• 44:22
  if
• 44:22
  that's
• 44:22
  how
• 44:22
  they're
• 44:22
  feeling,
• 44:23
  then
• 44:23
  it's
• 44:24
  very
• 44:24
  easy
• 44:24
  to
• 44:24
  say,
• 44:25
  well,
• 44:25
  we're
• 44:25
  going
• 44:25
  to
• 44:25
  sell.
• 44:28
  Because
• 44:28
  that
• 44:29
  might
• 44:29
  be
• 44:29
  in
• 44:29
  your
• 44:29
  best
• 44:29
  interest
• 44:30
  long
• 44:30
  term.
• 44:30
  If
• 44:31
  you're
• 44:31
  trying
• 44:31
  to
• 44:31
  build
• 44:31
  something
• 44:31
  sustainable
• 44:32
  and
• 44:32
  you
• 44:32
  think
• 44:33
  like,
• 44:33
  we've
• 44:33
  had
• 44:33
  a
• 44:33
  solid
• 44:34
  year,
• 44:34
  but
• 44:34
  we're
• 44:35
  not
• 44:35
  quite
• 44:35
  where
• 44:35
  we
• 44:35
  want
• 44:35
  to
• 44:35
  be,
• 44:37
  this
• 44:37
  could
• 44:37
  be
• 44:37
  a
• 44:37
  real
• 44:37
  opportunity
• 44:38
  because
• 44:38
  you
• 44:38
  only
• 44:38
  have
• 44:39
  so
• 44:39
  many
• 44:39
  opportunities
• 44:40
  to
• 44:40
  acquire
• 44:41
  young,
• 44:41
  controllable
• 44:42
  talent.
• 44:42
  So
• 44:43
  a
• 44:43
  lot
• 44:43
  of
• 44:43
  GMs
• 44:43
  want
• 44:44
  to
• 44:44
  make
• 44:44
  the
• 44:44
  most
• 44:44
  of
• 44:44
  it
• 44:44
  when
• 44:44
  they
• 44:45
  have
• 44:45
  that
• 44:45
  and
• 44:45
  probably
• 44:46
  lean
• 44:46
  towards
• 44:47
  doing
• 44:47
  it
• 44:47
  at
• 44:48
  the
• 44:48
  same
• 44:48
  time.
• 44:48
  Why
• 44:49
  do
• 44:49
  you
• 44:49
  play
• 44:49
  the
• 44:49
  game?
• 44:49
  Right.
• 44:49
  We're
• 44:50
  in
• 44:50
  this
• 44:50
  to
• 44:50
  win.
• 44:50
  We
• 44:51
  don't
• 44:51
  get
• 44:51
  trophies
• 44:51
  for
• 44:51
  having
• 44:51
  the
• 44:52
  best
• 44:52
  farm
• 44:52
  system.
• 44:53
  We
• 44:53
  don't
• 44:53
  get
• 44:53
  rings
• 44:54
  for
• 44:54
  that.
• 44:54
  So,
• 44:55
  you
• 44:55
  know,
• 44:55
  when
• 44:56
  you
• 44:56
  do
• 44:56
  have
• 44:56
  a
• 44:56
  chance,
• 44:57
  like
• 44:57
  you
• 44:57
  mentioned
• 44:57
  in
• 44:57
  21,
• 44:58
  people
• 44:58
  forget
• 44:58
  we
• 44:59
  were
• 44:59
  actually
• 44:59
  in
• 44:59
  first
• 44:59
  place
• 45:00
  at
• 45:00
  the
• 45:00
  trade
• 45:01
  deadline.
• 45:03
  And
• 45:03
  I
• 45:03
  think
• 45:03
  it's
• 45:03
  important
• 45:04
  that
• 45:04
  when
• 45:04
  you
• 45:04
  do
• 45:04
  have
• 45:04
  a
• 45:05
  chance
• 45:05
  to
• 45:05
  win
• 45:05
  that
• 45:06
  you
• 45:06
  put
• 45:06
  your
• 45:06
  best
• 45:06
  foot
• 45:07
  forward.
• 45:08
  So
• 45:08
  at
• 45:08
  this
• 45:08
  point,
• 45:08
  the
• 45:09
  Mets
• 45:09
  are
• 45:09
  sitting
• 45:09
  there,
• 45:10
  close
• 45:10
  to
• 45:10
  first
• 45:11
  place,
• 45:11
  in
• 45:11
  first
• 45:12
  place
• 45:12
  and,
• 45:13
  you
• 45:14
  know,
• 45:14
  also
• 45:14
  have
• 45:14
  a
• 45:14
  shot
• 45:14
  at
• 45:14
  the
• 45:14
  wild
• 45:15
  card.
• 45:15
  But
• 45:15
  they
• 45:16
  obviously
• 45:16
  have
• 45:16
  some
• 45:16
  needs,
• 45:17
  they
• 45:17
  have
• 45:17
  some
• 45:17
  pitching
• 45:18
  needs.
• 45:18
  They
• 45:18
  went
• 45:18
  out
• 45:19
  and
• 45:19
  got
• 45:19
  themselves
• 45:19
  a
• 45:19
  lefty
• 45:20
  reliever
• 45:21
  and,
• 45:21
  you
• 45:22
  know,
• 45:22
  gave
• 45:22
  up
• 45:22
  a
• 45:22
  single,
• 45:23
  a
• 45:23
  pitcher
• 45:23
  and
• 45:23
  another
• 45:24
  player.
• 45:26
  Do
• 45:27
  you
• 45:27
  see
• 45:27
  them
• 45:27
  in
• 45:28
  the
• 45:28
  next
• 45:28
  four
• 45:28
  days
• 45:29
  trading
• 45:29
  any
• 45:30
  of
• 45:30
  the
• 45:30
  following
• 45:30
  three
• 45:31
  Mark
• 45:31
  Vientos,
• 45:32
  Brett
• 45:32
  Beatty,
• 45:32
  Ronnie
• 45:33
  Mauricio.
• 45:36
  You
• 45:36
  know,
• 45:36
  my
• 45:37
  first
• 45:37
  reaction
• 45:37
  to
• 45:37
  that
• 45:38
  is
• 45:38
  to
• 45:38
  say
• 45:38
  I'd
• 45:38
  be
• 45:39
  surprised.
• 45:39
  But
• 45:40
  at
• 45:40
  the
• 45:40
  same
• 45:40
  time,
• 45:41
  I
• 45:41
  think
• 45:42
  all
• 45:42
  three
• 45:42
  of
• 45:43
  those
• 45:43
  guys
• 45:44
  are
• 45:45
  out
• 45:45
  of
• 45:45
  options
• 45:45
  after
• 45:46
  this
• 45:46
  year.
• 45:46
  Or
• 45:46
  maybe
• 45:47
  one
• 45:47
  of
• 45:47
  them
• 45:47
  is
• 45:47
  like,
• 45:48
  he
• 45:48
  can't
• 45:49
  get
• 45:49
  sent
• 45:49
  down
• 45:49
  again
• 45:49
  or
• 45:50
  else
• 45:50
  he
• 45:50
  uses
• 45:51
  that
• 45:51
  last
• 45:51
  option.
• 45:52
  But
• 45:53
  yeah,
• 45:53
  go
• 45:53
  ahead.
• 45:54
  Beatty,
• 45:54
  I
• 45:54
  believe,
• 45:55
  is
• 45:55
  done.
• 45:55
  So
• 45:55
  I
• 45:55
  think
• 45:56
  at
• 45:56
  this
• 45:56
  point,
• 45:57
  you
• 45:57
  know,
• 45:57
  and
• 45:58
  Vientos
• 45:58
  too,
• 45:59
  I
• 45:59
  think
• 45:59
  with
• 46:00
  Mauricio,
• 46:00
  they
• 46:00
  might
• 46:01
  have
• 46:01
  a
• 46:01
  little
• 46:01
  wiggle
• 46:02
  room.
• 46:02
  Yeah.
• 46:02
  But
• 46:03
  I
• 46:03
  think
• 46:03
  they're
• 46:03
  thinking
• 46:03
  Acuna
• 46:04
  is.
• 46:04
  The
• 46:04
  other
• 46:04
  guy
• 46:04
  who
• 46:04
  might
• 46:04
  be
• 46:05
  on
• 46:05
  options.
• 46:05
  So
• 46:05
  they
• 46:05
  may
• 46:05
  be
• 46:06
  looking
• 46:06
  at,
• 46:06
  if
• 46:06
  you're
• 46:07
  looking
• 46:07
  ahead
• 46:09
  to
• 46:09
  this
• 46:10
  next
• 46:10
  offseason,
• 46:11
  there's
• 46:11
  a
• 46:11
  chance
• 46:11
  that
• 46:11
  those
• 46:11
  guys
• 46:12
  aren't
• 46:12
  making
• 46:12
  your
• 46:13
  team.
• 46:13
  And
• 46:13
  then
• 46:13
  their
• 46:13
  value
• 46:14
  is
• 46:14
  just
• 46:14
  Completely
• 46:15
  cratered
• 46:15
  because
• 46:16
  they're
• 46:16
  out
• 46:16
  of
• 46:16
  options
• 46:16
  and
• 46:17
  you're
• 46:17
  just
• 46:17
  dumping
• 46:18
  them
• 46:18
  for
• 46:19
  very
• 46:19
  little
• 46:19
  in
• 46:19
  return.
• 46:20
  So
• 46:21
  it
• 46:21
  may.
• 46:21
  If
• 46:21
  there's
• 46:21
  someone
• 46:22
  that's
• 46:22
  actually
• 46:22
  valuing
• 46:23
  those
• 46:23
  players,
• 46:24
  it
• 46:24
  may
• 46:24
  be
• 46:24
  worth
• 46:24
  doing
• 46:25
  it.
• 46:25
  I'd
• 46:25
  probably
• 46:26
  shy
• 46:26
  away
• 46:26
  from
• 46:26
  the
• 46:26
  guys
• 46:27
  that
• 46:27
  you
• 46:27
  believe
• 46:27
  have
• 46:28
  the
• 46:28
  most
• 46:28
  upside.
• 46:29
  I'm
• 46:29
  not
• 46:29
  sure
• 46:29
  who
• 46:29
  that
• 46:29
  is
• 46:30
  at
• 46:30
  this
• 46:30
  point
• 46:31
  and
• 46:31
  where
• 46:32
  there'd
• 46:32
  be
• 46:32
  opportunity.
• 46:33
  I
• 46:34
  think,
• 46:34
  you
• 46:34
  know,
• 46:34
  they
• 46:34
  can
• 46:35
  still
• 46:35
  piece
• 46:35
  together
• 46:35
  at
• 46:36
  third
• 46:36
  base
• 46:36
  with
• 46:37
  the
• 46:37
  guys
• 46:37
  that
• 46:37
  they
• 46:37
  have,
• 46:39
  but
• 46:39
  it'll
• 46:39
  be
• 46:39
  interesting
• 46:40
  to
• 46:40
  see
• 46:40
  how
• 46:40
  they
• 46:40
  handle
• 46:40
  it.
• 46:41
  And
• 46:41
  I
• 46:41
  thought
• 46:41
  that
• 46:41
  all
• 46:41
  year
• 46:42
  just
• 46:43
  to
• 46:43
  have,
• 46:44
  including
• 46:44
  Acuna,
• 46:45
  four
• 46:45
  guys
• 46:46
  that
• 46:46
  were
• 46:47
  recently,
• 46:47
  you
• 46:48
  know,
• 46:48
  highly
• 46:48
  regarded
• 46:49
  prospects
• 46:50
  and
• 46:50
  now
• 46:50
  are
• 46:51
  at
• 46:51
  kind
• 46:51
  of.
• 46:51
  And
• 46:51
  their
• 46:52
  clock
• 46:52
  is
• 46:52
  ticking
• 46:53
  in
• 46:53
  terms
• 46:53
  of
• 46:53
  their
• 46:54
  roster
• 46:55
  flexibility.
• 46:55
  It
• 46:55
  gets
• 46:56
  really
• 46:56
  interesting
• 46:56
  and
• 46:56
  oftentimes
• 46:57
  those
• 46:57
  are
• 46:57
  the
• 46:57
  guys
• 46:57
  that
• 46:58
  get
• 46:58
  moved.
• 46:58
  So,
• 46:59
  you
• 46:59
  know,
• 47:00
  we'll
• 47:00
  see
• 47:00
  if
• 47:00
  it
• 47:00
  lines
• 47:01
  up
• 47:01
  in
• 47:01
  terms
• 47:01
  of
• 47:01
  how
• 47:02
  other
• 47:02
  teams
• 47:02
  are
• 47:02
  valuing
• 47:03
  them.
• 47:04
  What
• 47:04
  else
• 47:04
  do
• 47:04
  you
• 47:04
  think
• 47:04
  they
• 47:05
  need
• 47:05
  to
• 47:06
  grab?
• 47:06
  Is
• 47:06
  it
• 47:06
  a
• 47:07
  starting
• 47:07
  pitcher,
• 47:07
  a
• 47:08
  reliever?
• 47:08
  They
• 47:09
  already
• 47:09
  have
• 47:09
  a
• 47:09
  lefty
• 47:10
  to
• 47:10
  now
• 47:10
  go
• 47:10
  with
• 47:10
  Brooks
• 47:11
  Rayleigh,
• 47:11
  who
• 47:11
  I
• 47:11
  think
• 47:11
  is
• 47:11
  a
• 47:12
  great
• 47:12
  guy
• 47:12
  to
• 47:13
  bring
• 47:13
  back.
• 47:14
  Is
• 47:14
  there
• 47:14
  another
• 47:15
  spot
• 47:15
  where
• 47:16
  they
• 47:16
  definitely
• 47:16
  need
• 47:17
  to
• 47:17
  hit?
• 47:18
  Well,
• 47:18
  I
• 47:19
  think
• 47:19
  center
• 47:19
  field's
• 47:20
  a
• 47:20
  good
• 47:20
  opportunity
• 47:20
  for
• 47:20
  them,
• 47:21
  but
• 47:21
  I
• 47:21
  don't
• 47:21
  love
• 47:21
  the
• 47:22
  options.
• 47:22
  You
• 47:22
  have
• 47:22
  Robert
• 47:23
  out
• 47:23
  there,
• 47:23
  who
• 47:24
  I
• 47:24
  think
• 47:24
  is
• 47:24
  a
• 47:24
  solid
• 47:25
  defensive
• 47:25
  player,
• 47:25
  but
• 47:26
  his
• 47:26
  last,
• 47:27
  what,
• 47:27
  750
• 47:28
  plate
• 47:28
  appearances
• 47:29
  have
• 47:29
  been
• 47:29
  brutal.
• 47:30
  Cedric
• 47:30
  Mullins
• 47:31
  hasn't
• 47:31
  been
• 47:31
  very
• 47:31
  good.
• 47:32
  I
• 47:32
  don't
• 47:32
  think
• 47:32
  he's
• 47:32
  as
• 47:32
  good
• 47:33
  a
• 47:33
  center
• 47:33
  fielder.
• 47:33
  He
• 47:34
  can
• 47:34
  certainly
• 47:34
  run.
• 47:35
  You
• 47:35
  know,
• 47:36
  I
• 47:36
  just
• 47:36
  don't
• 47:36
  see
• 47:36
  the
• 47:36
  options.
• 47:37
  They
• 47:37
  have
• 47:37
  a
• 47:37
  good
• 47:37
  defensive
• 47:38
  center
• 47:38
  fielder
• 47:38
  and
• 47:38
  Taylor,
• 47:39
  but
• 47:39
  he
• 47:39
  can't
• 47:39
  really
• 47:39
  hit
• 47:40
  that
• 47:40
  well.
• 47:41
  I'd
• 47:41
  say,
• 47:41
  though,
• 47:42
  that's
• 47:42
  where
• 47:42
  the
• 47:42
  most
• 47:43
  glaring
• 47:43
  position
• 47:43
  player
• 47:44
  hole
• 47:44
  is.
• 47:45
  I
• 47:45
  think
• 47:45
  they're
• 47:45
  bullpen.
• 47:46
  I
• 47:46
  like
• 47:46
  the
• 47:46
  move
• 47:46
  for
• 47:46
  Soto,
• 47:47
  a
• 47:47
  good
• 47:47
  sinker
• 47:47
  slider
• 47:48
  guy.
• 47:49
  I
• 47:49
  think
• 47:50
  that's
• 47:50
  the
• 47:50
  kind
• 47:50
  of
• 47:50
  move
• 47:50
  that
• 47:51
  I'd
• 47:51
  expect
• 47:51
  from
• 47:51
  David
• 47:52
  Stearns.
• 47:53
  And
• 47:53
  I
• 47:53
  think
• 47:54
  starting
• 47:54
  pitching,
• 47:54
  I
• 47:54
  am
• 47:55
  a
• 47:55
  little
• 47:55
  nervous
• 47:55
  about
• 47:55
  their
• 47:56
  rotation.
• 47:56
  They've
• 47:56
  lost
• 47:57
  some
• 47:57
  death
• 47:58
  with
• 47:58
  some
• 47:58
  injuries
• 48:00
  and,
• 48:01
  you
• 48:01
  know,
• 48:02
  if
• 48:02
  they
• 48:02
  can
• 48:02
  get
• 48:02
  an
• 48:02
  impact
• 48:03
  guy,
• 48:03
  that'd
• 48:03
  be
• 48:03
  great.
• 48:03
  They've
• 48:04
  been
• 48:04
  lacking
• 48:04
  that.
• 48:04
  They've
• 48:05
  been
• 48:05
  getting
• 48:05
  by
• 48:05
  pretty
• 48:06
  well
• 48:06
  the
• 48:06
  last
• 48:06
  couple
• 48:06
  years
• 48:07
  without
• 48:07
  having
• 48:07
  that.
• 48:08
  So
• 48:08
  maybe
• 48:08
  they
• 48:08
  feel
• 48:08
  good
• 48:08
  about
• 48:09
  it.
• 48:09
  Otherwise
• 48:10
  they
• 48:10
  need
• 48:10
  a
• 48:11
  little
• 48:11
  bit
• 48:11
  more
• 48:11
  depth
• 48:11
  because
• 48:12
  we
• 48:12
  don't
• 48:12
  know
• 48:13
  what
• 48:13
  to
• 48:13
  expect
• 48:13
  from
• 48:14
  Clay
• 48:14
  Holmes
• 48:14
  as
• 48:14
  he
• 48:15
  continues
• 48:15
  to
• 48:15
  blow
• 48:16
  past
• 48:16
  his
• 48:16
  innings
• 48:16
  threshold.
• 48:17
  So,
• 48:18
  you
• 48:18
  know,
• 48:18
  there's
• 48:19
  a
• 48:19
  lot
• 48:19
  to
• 48:19
  like
• 48:19
  about
• 48:19
  the
• 48:20
  Mets,
• 48:20
  but
• 48:20
  yeah,
• 48:20
  there's
• 48:20
  some
• 48:20
  question
• 48:21
  marks
• 48:21
  there.
• 48:21
  I
• 48:22
  don't
• 48:22
  expect
• 48:22
  any
• 48:22
  big
• 48:24
  time
• 48:24
  Acquisitions
• 48:25
  from
• 48:25
  them.
• 48:25
  I
• 48:26
  think
• 48:26
  they'll
• 48:26
  kind
• 48:26
  of
• 48:27
  piece
• 48:27
  things
• 48:28
  together,
• 48:28
  make
• 48:28
  some
• 48:28
  good
• 48:29
  value
• 48:29
  moves.
• 48:29
  I
• 48:29
  think
• 48:30
  that's
• 48:30
  something
• 48:30
  that
• 48:31
  David's
• 48:31
  probably
• 48:31
  likely
• 48:32
  to
• 48:32
  do.
• 48:33
  That
• 48:33
  would
• 48:33
  be
• 48:33
  my
• 48:33
  guess.
• 48:34
  What
• 48:35
  goes
• 48:35
  on?
• 48:35
  Is
• 48:36
  this
• 48:36
  mainly
• 48:36
  just
• 48:37
  the
• 48:37
  general
• 48:37
  manager
• 48:37
  on
• 48:38
  the
• 48:38
  phone
• 48:38
  with
• 48:38
  other
• 48:38
  general
• 48:39
  managers?
• 48:40
  Or
• 48:40
  are
• 48:40
  there
• 48:40
  five
• 48:41
  or
• 48:41
  six
• 48:41
  people
• 48:41
  talking,
• 48:42
  including
• 48:42
  owners
• 48:43
  and
• 48:43
  assistant
• 48:43
  GMs
• 48:44
  when
• 48:44
  it
• 48:44
  comes
• 48:44
  to
• 48:45
  trade
• 48:45
  deadlines?
• 48:45
  And
• 48:46
  I
• 48:46
  know
• 48:46
  it
• 48:46
  gets
• 48:46
  kind
• 48:47
  of
• 48:47
  tight
• 48:47
  at
• 48:47
  six
• 48:47
  o'
• 48:47
  clock
• 48:47
  on
• 48:48
  Thursday.
• 48:49
  Yeah,
• 48:50
  it
• 48:50
  can
• 48:50
  look
• 48:50
  a
• 48:50
  lot
• 48:51
  of
• 48:51
  different
• 48:51
  ways.
• 48:51
  I'm
• 48:52
  actually
• 48:52
  working
• 48:53
  on
• 48:53
  an
• 48:53
  article
• 48:53
  for
• 48:54
  MLB
• 48:54
  Trade
• 48:54
  Rumors
• 48:55
  that
• 48:55
  will
• 48:55
  hopefully
• 48:56
  come
• 48:56
  out
• 48:56
  in
• 48:56
  the
• 48:56
  next
• 48:56
  couple
• 48:56
  days
• 48:57
  that
• 48:58
  goes
• 48:58
  a
• 48:58
  little
• 48:58
  bit
• 48:59
  behind
• 48:59
  the
• 48:59
  scenes
• 48:59
  in
• 48:59
  some
• 48:59
  of
• 49:00
  my
• 49:00
  experiences
• 49:00
  with
• 49:00
  the
• 49:00
  deadline.
• 49:01
  But
• 49:01
  I
• 49:02
  work
• 49:02
  for
• 49:02
  four
• 49:02
  different
• 49:02
  GMs
• 49:03
  in
• 49:03
  Boston
• 49:04
  and
• 49:04
  my
• 49:04
  experience
• 49:05
  at
• 49:05
  the
• 49:05
  Mets,
• 49:05
  I've
• 49:05
  consisted
• 49:05
  of,
• 49:06
  consulted
• 49:06
  with
• 49:07
  teams
• 49:07
  like
• 49:07
  the
• 49:07
  Pirates
• 49:08
  and
• 49:08
  Rangers
• 49:08
  and
• 49:08
  been
• 49:09
  a
• 49:09
  part
• 49:09
  of
• 49:09
  their
• 49:09
  trade
• 49:10
  deadline
• 49:10
  war
• 49:10
  rooms.
• 49:11
  So
• 49:11
  over
• 49:11
  those
• 49:11
  like
• 49:12
  20
• 49:12
  straight
• 49:12
  war
• 49:13
  rooms
• 49:13
  that
• 49:13
  I
• 49:13
  was
• 49:13
  in,
• 49:14
  people
• 49:14
  have
• 49:14
  different
• 49:15
  styles.
• 49:15
  GMs
• 49:15
  are
• 49:16
  different
• 49:16
  styles.
• 49:16
  Where
• 49:16
  some
• 49:16
  of
• 49:16
  them
• 49:16
  want
• 49:17
  a
• 49:17
  lot
• 49:17
  of
• 49:17
  people
• 49:17
  in
• 49:17
  the
• 49:17
  room,
• 49:18
  some
• 49:18
  of
• 49:18
  them
• 49:18
  want
• 49:19
  very
• 49:19
  few
• 49:19
  people
• 49:19
  in
• 49:19
  the
• 49:19
  room.
• 49:20
  So
• 49:20
  I
• 49:21
  was
• 49:21
  someone
• 49:21
  in
• 49:22
  21.
• 49:22
  I
• 49:23
  wanted
• 49:23
  a
• 49:23
  lot
• 49:23
  of
• 49:23
  people
• 49:24
  in
• 49:24
  the
• 49:24
  room
• 49:24
  because
• 49:24
  I
• 49:25
  do
• 49:25
  believe
• 49:25
  good
• 49:25
  ideas
• 49:26
  can
• 49:26
  come
• 49:26
  from
• 49:26
  anywhere.
• 49:27
  And,
• 49:28
  you
• 49:28
  know,
• 49:28
  you
• 49:28
  want
• 49:28
  to
• 49:28
  be
• 49:29
  talking
• 49:29
  through
• 49:29
  these
• 49:29
  things.
• 49:29
  So
• 49:29
  we
• 49:30
  had
• 49:30
  scouts,
• 49:31
  analysts,
• 49:33
  other
• 49:33
  front
• 49:33
  office
• 49:34
  people.
• 49:35
  You
• 49:35
  know,
• 49:35
  I
• 49:36
  talk
• 49:36
  to
• 49:36
  the
• 49:36
  manager
• 49:37
  or
• 49:37
  something,
• 49:37
  you
• 49:37
  know,
• 49:37
  they're
• 49:37
  playing
• 49:37
  games,
• 49:38
  but
• 49:38
  I
• 49:38
  check
• 49:38
  in
• 49:38
  with
• 49:39
  the
• 49:39
  manager,
• 49:39
  which
• 49:40
  most
• 49:40
  GMs
• 49:40
  do,
• 49:41
  just
• 49:41
  to
• 49:41
  update
• 49:42
  them
• 49:42
  and
• 49:42
  kind
• 49:42
  of
• 49:42
  get
• 49:43
  any
• 49:43
  thoughts
• 49:43
  they
• 49:43
  may
• 49:43
  have.
• 49:45
  Owners
• 49:45
  you're
• 49:46
  kind
• 49:46
  of
• 49:46
  bringing
• 49:46
  in
• 49:46
  when
• 49:46
  there's
• 49:46
  actually
• 49:47
  something
• 49:47
  really
• 49:47
  to
• 49:48
  talk
• 49:48
  about.
• 49:48
  They
• 49:48
  may
• 49:48
  check
• 49:48
  in
• 49:49
  for
• 49:49
  kind
• 49:49
  of
• 49:50
  an
• 49:50
  update
• 49:50
  to
• 49:51
  see
• 49:51
  where
• 49:51
  things
• 49:51
  stand.
• 49:52
  But
• 49:52
  most
• 49:52
  of
• 49:52
  the
• 49:53
  time
• 49:53
  you're
• 49:53
  waiting
• 49:53
  until
• 49:53
  you
• 49:53
  actually
• 49:54
  get
• 49:54
  somewhere
• 49:54
  down
• 49:54
  the
• 49:55
  road
• 49:55
  where
• 49:55
  something
• 49:55
  seems
• 49:56
  like
• 49:56
  it
• 49:56
  could
• 49:56
  be
• 49:56
  real.
• 49:57
  And
• 49:57
  then
• 49:57
  you're
• 49:57
  looping
• 49:58
  them
• 49:58
  in
• 49:58
  and
• 49:58
  saying,
• 49:59
  here's
• 49:59
  something
• 49:59
  that
• 49:59
  we
• 50:00
  got
• 50:00
  on
• 50:00
  the
• 50:00
  table
• 50:00
  that
• 50:00
  fits
• 50:01
  with
• 50:01
  what
• 50:01
  we've
• 50:01
  talked
• 50:01
  about
• 50:02
  strategically
• 50:02
  and
• 50:03
  here's
• 50:03
  what
• 50:03
  it's
• 50:03
  going
• 50:03
  to
• 50:03
  cost
• 50:04
  us,
• 50:06
  etc.
• 50:06
  So
• 50:07
  it
• 50:07
  can
• 50:07
  look
• 50:07
  different,
• 50:07
  though
• 50:08
  there's
• 50:08
  guys
• 50:08
  I
• 50:08
  know
• 50:08
  that
• 50:08
  can't
• 50:09
  concentrate
• 50:09
  with
• 50:09
  too
• 50:10
  many
• 50:10
  people
• 50:10
  in
• 50:10
  the
• 50:10
  room,
• 50:10
  so
• 50:10
  they
• 50:11
  want
• 50:11
  to
• 50:11
  keep
• 50:11
  it
• 50:11
  really
• 50:11
  small.
• 50:12
  I'm
• 50:13
  someone
• 50:13
  that
• 50:13
  likes
• 50:13
  to
• 50:13
  have
• 50:14
  a
• 50:14
  lot
• 50:14
  of
• 50:14
  balls
• 50:14
  up
• 50:14
  in
• 50:14
  the
• 50:14
  air.
• 50:15
  There's
• 50:15
  some
• 50:15
  people
• 50:15
  that
• 50:15
  want
• 50:15
  to
• 50:15
  stay
• 50:16
  very
• 50:16
  focused
• 50:16
  on
• 50:16
  filling
• 50:17
  each
• 50:17
  need
• 50:18
  one
• 50:18
  at
• 50:18
  a
• 50:18
  time,
• 50:18
  or
• 50:19
  if
• 50:19
  you're
• 50:19
  selling
• 50:20
  each
• 50:20
  player
• 50:20
  that
• 50:20
  you're
• 50:21
  selling
• 50:21
  one
• 50:21
  at
• 50:21
  a
• 50:21
  time.
• 50:21
  So
• 50:22
  it
• 50:22
  can
• 50:22
  look
• 50:22
  a
• 50:22
  lot
• 50:23
  of
• 50:23
  different
• 50:23
  ways.
• 50:23
  There
• 50:23
  is
• 50:23
  a
• 50:24
  lot
• 50:24
  of.
• 50:24
  In
• 50:24
  my
• 50:25
  experience,
• 50:25
  there's
• 50:25
  been
• 50:25
  a
• 50:25
  lot
• 50:25
  of
• 50:26
  sitting
• 50:26
  around
• 50:26
  and
• 50:27
  staring
• 50:27
  at
• 50:27
  each
• 50:27
  other
• 50:28
  because
• 50:28
  you
• 50:28
  can't
• 50:29
  really
• 50:29
  control
• 50:29
  the
• 50:29
  timing.
• 50:30
  You
• 50:30
  can
• 50:30
  do
• 50:30
  your
• 50:30
  work
• 50:30
  and
• 50:31
  your
• 50:31
  preparation,
• 50:31
  but
• 50:32
  ultimately,
• 50:32
  it
• 50:32
  takes
• 50:32
  two
• 50:33
  to
• 50:33
  make
• 50:34
  a
• 50:34
  trade.
• 50:35
  Is
• 50:35
  it
• 50:36
  mainly
• 50:36
  the
• 50:37
  people
• 50:37
  who
• 50:37
  want
• 50:38
  the
• 50:38
  major
• 50:38
  league
• 50:39
  player
• 50:40
  making
• 50:40
  the
• 50:41
  contact,
• 50:41
  or
• 50:42
  is
• 50:42
  there
• 50:42
  also
• 50:42
  kind
• 50:43
  of
• 50:43
  the
• 50:43
  sellers,
• 50:43
  the
• 50:43
  people
• 50:44
  who
• 50:44
  want
• 50:44
  your
• 50:45
  prospects
• 50:45
  reaching
• 50:46
  out
• 50:46
  and
• 50:46
  starting
• 50:47
  that
• 50:47
  conversation?
• 50:50
  It
• 50:50
  can
• 50:50
  go
• 50:50
  either
• 50:50
  way.
• 50:51
  I
• 50:51
  mean,
• 50:51
  typically,
• 50:51
  the
• 50:51
  way
• 50:52
  it's
• 50:52
  worked,
• 50:53
  you
• 50:53
  know,
• 50:54
  the
• 50:54
  way
• 50:54
  it
• 50:54
  worked
• 50:54
  most
• 50:55
  recently
• 50:55
  in
• 50:55
  my
• 50:55
  career
• 50:56
  was
• 50:56
  that
• 50:57
  you've
• 50:57
  kind
• 50:57
  of
• 50:57
  split
• 50:58
  up
• 50:58
  the
• 50:58
  teams.
• 50:58
  You
• 50:58
  check
• 50:59
  in
• 50:59
  with
• 50:59
  teams
• 50:59
  periodically.
• 51:00
  You
• 51:01
  might
• 51:01
  split
• 51:01
  them
• 51:01
  up
• 51:01
  with
• 51:02
  an
• 51:02
  assistant
• 51:02
  GM
• 51:04
  or
• 51:04
  two
• 51:04
  and
• 51:05
  just
• 51:05
  say,
• 51:05
  you
• 51:05
  call
• 51:06
  these,
• 51:06
  you
• 51:06
  know,
• 51:06
  maybe
• 51:06
  it's
• 51:07
  three
• 51:07
  people,
• 51:07
  and
• 51:08
  each
• 51:08
  guy
• 51:08
  has,
• 51:09
  you
• 51:09
  know,
• 51:09
  10,
• 51:10
  nine,
• 51:10
  10
• 51:10
  teams,
• 51:11
  and
• 51:11
  you
• 51:11
  kind
• 51:12
  of
• 51:12
  just
• 51:12
  check
• 51:12
  in
• 51:12
  with
• 51:12
  your
• 51:12
  counterpart
• 51:13
  there,
• 51:14
  or
• 51:14
  if
• 51:14
  you
• 51:14
  have
• 51:15
  a
• 51:15
  relationship
• 51:15
  there,
• 51:15
  you
• 51:15
  check
• 51:16
  in
• 51:16
  with
• 51:16
  the

  person
• 51:16
  that
• 51:16
  you
• 51:16
  know
• 51:16
  well
• 51:17
  there
• 51:17
  and
• 51:17
  just
• 51:17
  say,

  hey,

  what

  guys
• 51:18
  looking
• 51:18
  to
• 51:18
  do?
• 51:18
  And
• 51:19
  everyone
• 51:19
  kind
• 51:19
  of
• 51:19
  gathers
• 51:20
  that
• 51:20
  information
• 51:20
  because
• 51:20
  people
• 51:21
  are
• 51:21
  pretty
• 51:21
  honest.
• 51:21
  They're
• 51:21
  saying,
• 51:22
  like,
• 51:22
  hey,
• 51:22
  here's
• 51:22
  what
• 51:22
  we're
• 51:22
  looking
• 51:23
  to
• 51:23
  do.
• 51:23
  And
• 51:23
  then
• 51:24
  you
• 51:24
  might,
• 51:24
  in
• 51:24
  that
• 51:24
  conversation,
• 51:25
  say,
• 51:25
  hey,
• 51:25
  would
• 51:25
  you
• 51:25
  be
• 51:25
  willing
• 51:25
  to
• 51:26
  talk
• 51:26
  about
• 51:26
  this
• 51:26
  part?
• 51:26
  And
• 51:27
  sometimes
• 51:27
  they'll
• 51:27
  say,
• 51:27
  absolutely
• 51:28
  not.
• 51:28
  Sometimes
• 51:28
  they'll
• 51:29
  say,
• 51:29
  you
• 51:29
  know,
• 51:30
  yeah,
• 51:30
  in
• 51:30
  the
• 51:30
  right
• 51:30
  circumstances,
• 51:31
  but
• 51:31
  it
• 51:31
  would
• 51:32
  take.
• 51:32
  And
• 51:32
  they
• 51:32
  give
• 51:32
  you
• 51:33
  some
• 51:33
  indication
• 51:33
  of
• 51:33
  what
• 51:33
  it
• 51:34
  may
• 51:34
  take.
• 51:35
  So
• 51:35
  that
• 51:35
  can
• 51:35
  go
• 51:36
  either
• 51:36
  way.
• 51:38
  You
• 51:38
  know,
• 51:39
  in
• 51:39
  my
• 51:40
  mind,
• 51:40
  I
• 51:40
  think
• 51:40
  it's
• 51:40
  really
• 51:41
  important
• 51:41
  that
• 51:41
  you
• 51:41
  kind
• 51:41
  of
• 51:42
  are
• 51:43
  involved
• 51:43
  in
• 51:43
  as
• 51:44
  much
• 51:44
  as
• 51:44
  you
• 51:44
  can
• 51:44
  so
• 51:44
  you
• 51:45
  know
• 51:45
  what's
• 51:45
  going
• 51:45
  on.
• 51:46
  Because,
• 51:47
  you
• 51:47
  know,
• 51:47
  moves
• 51:48
  that
• 51:48
  happen
• 51:50
  can
• 51:50
  affect
• 51:50
  other
• 51:51
  moves
• 51:51
  happening
• 51:53
  right
• 51:53
  after
• 51:53
  that.
• 51:53
  In
• 51:54
  fact,
• 51:54
  like
• 51:55
  that
• 51:55
  year
• 51:55
  I
• 51:56
  mentioned
• 51:56
  2004,
• 51:57
  that
• 51:57
  first
• 51:57
  year
• 51:58
  I
• 51:58
  was
• 51:58
  there,
• 51:59
  we
• 51:59
  acquired
• 51:59
  Dave
• 52:00
  Roberts
• 52:00
  only
• 52:01
  because
• 52:02
  the
• 52:02
  New
• 52:02
  York.
• 52:02
  I
• 52:03
  mean,
• 52:03
  the
• 52:03
  Dodgers
• 52:03
  acquired
• 52:04
  Steve
• 52:04
  Finley,
• 52:05
  so
• 52:05
  they
• 52:05
  created
• 52:06
  a
• 52:06
  surplus
• 52:06
  of
• 52:06
  outfielders.
• 52:07
  When
• 52:08
  we
• 52:08
  saw
• 52:08
  the
• 52:08
  rumor
• 52:09
  that
• 52:09
  they
• 52:09
  may
• 52:09
  acquire
• 52:09
  Steve
• 52:10
  Finley,
• 52:10
  we
• 52:11
  immediately
• 52:11
  got
• 52:11
  on
• 52:12
  the
• 52:12
  phone
• 52:12
  with
• 52:13
  them
• 52:13
  and
• 52:13
  said,
• 52:13
  hey,
• 52:14
  you're
• 52:15
  going
• 52:15
  to
• 52:15
  have
• 52:15
  a
• 52:15
  surplus
• 52:15
  of
• 52:15
  outfielders
• 52:16
  if
• 52:16
  you
• 52:16
  do
• 52:16
  this.
• 52:16
  Would
• 52:17
  you
• 52:17
  be
• 52:17
  willing
• 52:17
  to
• 52:17
  talk
• 52:17
  to
• 52:17
  us
• 52:18
  about
• 52:18
  Dave
• 52:19
  Roberts?
• 52:19
  And
• 52:20
  Theo
• 52:21
  did
• 52:21
  that
• 52:22
  trade
• 52:22
  pretty
• 52:22
  quickly.
• 52:22
  So
• 52:23
  that's
• 52:24
  why
• 52:24
  you
• 52:24
  got
• 52:24
  to
• 52:24
  be
• 52:25
  aware
• 52:25
  of
• 52:25
  everything
• 52:26
  that's
• 52:26
  going
• 52:27
  on,
• 52:27
  because
• 52:27
  the
• 52:27
  landscape
• 52:28
  can
• 52:28
  change
• 52:28
  with
• 52:29
  a
• 52:29
  single
• 52:30
  deal.
• 52:31
  And
• 52:31
  then
• 52:32
  finally,
• 52:32
  is
• 52:32
  there
• 52:33
  one
• 52:33
  team
• 52:33
  or
• 52:34
  one
• 52:34
  person
• 52:34
  you
• 52:34
  think
• 52:35
  is
• 52:35
  definitely
• 52:35
  going
• 52:35
  to
• 52:36
  get
• 52:36
  traded
• 52:36
  in
• 52:37
  the
• 52:37
  next
• 52:37
  couple
• 52:37
  of
• 52:37
  days?
• 52:37
  There's
• 52:38
  something
• 52:38
  that
• 52:38
  you
• 52:39
  would
• 52:39
  say
• 52:39
  is
• 52:39
  almost
• 52:39
  a
• 52:39
  definite.
• 52:43
  There's
• 52:43
  something
• 52:43
  that
• 52:44
  comes
• 52:44
  to
• 52:44
  mind.
• 52:44
  I
• 52:44
  do
• 52:44
  think
• 52:45
  people
• 52:45
  tend
• 52:46
  to
• 52:46
  get
• 52:46
  really
• 52:47
  excited.
• 52:48
  Trade
• 52:48
  deadlines
• 52:49
  are
• 52:49
  almost
• 52:49
  always
• 52:49
  the
• 52:49
  same
• 52:50
  where
• 52:50
  you
• 52:50
  get
• 52:50
  kind
• 52:50
  of
• 52:50
  amped
• 52:50
  up
• 52:51
  about
• 52:51
  the
• 52:51
  big
• 52:51
  names
• 52:51
  that
• 52:51
  could
• 52:52
  be
• 52:52
  moved.
• 52:53
  And
• 52:53
  if
• 52:53
  they
• 52:54
  have
• 52:54
  any
• 52:54
  amount
• 52:55
  of
• 52:55
  control
• 52:56
  beyond
• 52:56
  this
• 52:56
  year,
• 52:57
  they're
• 52:57
  not
• 52:57
  going
• 52:57
  to
• 52:57
  be
• 52:57
  free
• 52:58
  agents
• 52:58
  at
• 52:59
  the
• 52:59
  end
• 52:59
  of
• 52:59
  this
• 52:59
  year.
• 53:00
  Then
• 53:00
  they
• 53:00
  usually
• 53:00
  don't
• 53:01
  get
• 53:01
  moved.
• 53:02
  But
• 53:02
  it's
• 53:03
  fun
• 53:03
  to
• 53:03
  talk
• 53:03
  about
• 53:04
  and
• 53:04
  speculate.
• 53:04
  Doesn't
• 53:04
  mean
• 53:04
  they're
• 53:05
  not
• 53:05
  being
• 53:05
  talked
• 53:05
  about.
• 53:05
  But
• 53:07
  teams
• 53:07
  tend
• 53:07
  to
• 53:07
  not
• 53:07
  be
• 53:07
  highly
• 53:08
  motivated.
• 53:08
  So
• 53:08
  I
• 53:08
  still
• 53:09
  expect
• 53:09
  this
• 53:09
  in
• 53:09
  the
• 53:09
  end
• 53:10
  to
• 53:10
  be
• 53:10
  mostly
• 53:10
  guys
• 53:11
  who
• 53:11
  are
• 53:11
  on
• 53:12
  expiring
• 53:12
  contracts.
• 53:13
  There
• 53:13
  will
• 53:13
  be
• 53:13
  free
• 53:13
  agents
• 53:13
  at
• 53:14
  the
• 53:14
  end
• 53:14
  of
• 53:14
  the
• 53:14
  year.
• 53:16
  To
• 53:16
  me,
• 53:16
  I
• 53:16
  look
• 53:16
  at
• 53:17
  it
• 53:17
  more
• 53:17
  as
• 53:18
  who's
• 53:18
  most
• 53:18
  likely
• 53:19
  to
• 53:19
  be
• 53:19
  aggressive
• 53:19
  in
• 53:19
  the
• 53:20
  market.
• 53:20
  That's
• 53:20
  still
• 53:21
  kind
• 53:21
  of
• 53:21
  my
• 53:21
  mentality
• 53:21
  of
• 53:22
  thinking
• 53:22
  of
• 53:22
  it
• 53:22
  from
• 53:22
  a
• 53:22
  team
• 53:22
  standpoint
• 53:23
  is
• 53:23
  who
• 53:24
  are
• 53:24
  going
• 53:24
  to
• 53:24
  be
• 53:24
  the
• 53:24
  people
• 53:24
  that
• 53:25
  are
• 53:25
  really
• 53:25
  aggressive.
• 53:25
  So
• 53:25
  I
• 53:25
  look
• 53:26
  at
• 53:26
  a
• 53:26
  team
• 53:26
  like
• 53:26
  Seattle
• 53:27
  with
• 53:27
  Jerry
• 53:27
  Depot,
• 53:28
  who
• 53:28
  tends
• 53:28
  to
• 53:29
  be
• 53:29
  aggressive.
• 53:29
  They've
• 53:29
  already
• 53:30
  gotten
• 53:30
  Naylor.
• 53:30
  I
• 53:31
  expect
• 53:31
  him
• 53:31
  to
• 53:31
  be.
• 53:32
  You
• 53:32
  know,
• 53:32
  they
• 53:32
  have
• 53:32
  a
• 53:32
  really
• 53:32
  good
• 53:32
  farm
• 53:33
  system,
• 53:33
  so
• 53:33
  they
• 53:33
  have
• 53:34
  a
• 53:34
  good
• 53:34
  position
• 53:34
  to
• 53:35
  deal
• 53:35
  from.
• 53:36
  And
• 53:36
  I
• 53:36
  think
• 53:36
  a
• 53:36
  lot
• 53:37
  of
• 53:37
  other
• 53:37
  teams
• 53:37
  are
• 53:37
  probably
• 53:37
  excited
• 53:38
  for
• 53:38
  that
• 53:38
  because
• 53:38
  Jerry
• 53:39
  tends
• 53:39
  to
• 53:39
  be
• 53:39
  aggressive.
• 53:40
  Maybe
• 53:40
  Texas
• 53:41
  is
• 53:41
  aggressive.
• 53:41
  You
• 53:42
  look
• 53:42
  at
• 53:42
  the
• 53:42
  different
• 53:42
  personalities
• 53:43
  that
• 53:44
  are
• 53:44
  running
• 53:44
  these
• 53:44
  teams
• 53:45
  and
• 53:45
  there's
• 53:45
  a
• 53:45
  lot
• 53:45
  of
• 53:45
  guys
• 53:46
  that
• 53:46
  are
• 53:46
  a
• 53:46
  little
• 53:46
  bit
• 53:46
  cautious
• 53:47
  these
• 53:47
  days
• 53:47
  as
• 53:48
  GMs,
• 53:48
  and
• 53:48
  then
• 53:48
  there's
• 53:49
  a
• 53:49
  handful
• 53:49
  of
• 53:49
  guys
• 53:50
  that
• 53:50
  tend
• 53:50
  to
• 53:50
  be
• 53:50
  pretty
• 53:50
  aggressive.
• 53:51
  So
• 53:52
  those
• 53:52
  are
• 53:52
  always
• 53:52
  the
• 53:52
  ones.
• 53:53
  It's
• 53:53
  interesting
• 53:53
  to
• 53:53
  see
• 53:53
  what
• 53:54
  they
• 53:54
  do.
• 53:54
  I'm
• 53:55
  interested
• 53:55
  to
• 53:55
  see
• 53:55
  if
• 53:56
  David
• 53:56
  Stearns
• 53:56
  brings
• 53:57
  up
• 53:57
  a
• 53:57
  guy
• 53:57
  like
• 53:57
  Noah
• 53:58
  McClain
• 53:58
  or
• 53:59
  Brandon
• 53:59
  Sproten,
• 54:00
  puts
• 54:00
  them
• 54:00
  in
• 54:00
  the
• 54:00
  bullpen,
• 54:01
  because
• 54:01
  I
• 54:01
  think
• 54:01
  sometimes
• 54:02
  those
• 54:02
  can
• 54:02
  be
• 54:02
  just
• 54:03
  as
• 54:03
  good
• 54:03
  as
• 54:03
  a
• 54:03
  trade
• 54:04
  deadline
• 54:04
  where
• 54:04
  you
• 54:04
  give
• 54:04
  a
• 54:05
  guy
• 54:05
  a
• 54:05
  shot
• 54:05
  to
• 54:06
  pitch
• 54:06
  two
• 54:06
  innings
• 54:07
  when
• 54:07
  they're
• 54:07
  normally
• 54:08
  used
• 54:08
  to
• 54:08
  using
• 54:08
  five,
• 54:08
  and
• 54:09
  maybe
• 54:09
  they
• 54:09
  help
• 54:10
  you
• 54:10
  a
• 54:10
  little
• 54:10
  bit.
• 54:10
  So
• 54:11
  I'll
• 54:11
  see
• 54:11
  what
• 54:12
  happens
• 54:12
  there.
• 54:13
  Yeah,
• 54:14
  I
• 54:14
  think
• 54:14
  that
• 54:14
  can
• 54:15
  be
• 54:15
  true.
• 54:15
  And
• 54:16
  I
• 54:16
  often
• 54:16
  like
• 54:17
  breaking
• 54:17
  young
• 54:17
  pitchers
• 54:18
  into
• 54:18
  the
• 54:18
  bullpen.
• 54:19
  You
• 54:19
  know,
• 54:19
  not
• 54:19
  throwing
• 54:20
  them
• 54:20
  necessarily
• 54:20
  in
• 54:20
  the
• 54:20
  fire
• 54:21
  to
• 54:21
  be
• 54:21
  a
• 54:21
  closer
• 54:22
  or
• 54:22
  eighth
• 54:22
  inning
• 54:22
  guy,
• 54:22
  but
• 54:23
  putting
• 54:23
  them
• 54:23
  in
• 54:23
  there.
• 54:24
  And
• 54:24
  maybe
• 54:24
  they
• 54:24
  evolve
• 54:24
  into
• 54:25
  that
• 54:25
  pretty
• 54:25
  quickly.
• 54:25
  I
• 54:25
  mean,
• 54:26
  that
• 54:26
  to
• 54:26
  me
• 54:26
  is
• 54:26
  always
• 54:26
  a
• 54:26
  question
• 54:27
  you
• 54:27
  should
• 54:27
  ask
• 54:27
  before
• 54:27
  you
• 54:28
  overpay.
• 54:29
  For
• 54:29
  a
• 54:29
  veteran
• 54:29
  reliever
• 54:32
  to
• 54:32
  say,
• 54:32
  do
• 54:32
  we
• 54:32
  have
• 54:32
  a
• 54:33
  young
• 54:33
  starter
• 54:33
  that
• 54:34
  if
• 54:34
  we
• 54:34
  just
• 54:34
  put
• 54:34
  him
• 54:34
  in
• 54:34
  there
• 54:35
  for
• 54:35
  an
• 54:35
  inning
• 54:35
  or
• 54:35
  two
• 54:36
  and
• 54:36
  let
• 54:36
  him
• 54:37
  just
• 54:37
  blow,
• 54:37
  you
• 54:38
  know,
• 54:38
  throw
• 54:38
  his
• 54:38
  heart,
• 54:38
  is
• 54:39
  he
• 54:39
  going
• 54:39
  to
• 54:39
  be
• 54:39
  just
• 54:39
  as
• 54:39
  effective
• 54:40
  as
• 54:40
  that
• 54:40
  guy
• 54:40
  and
• 54:40
  we
• 54:40
  don't
• 54:40
  have
• 54:41
  to
• 54:41
  give
• 54:41
  up
• 54:41
  anything.
• 54:42
  Again,
• 54:43
  we're
• 54:43
  talking
• 54:43
  with
• 54:43
  Zack
• 54:43
  Scott,
• 54:44
  former
• 54:44
  MLB
• 54:45
  gm.
• 54:45
  Zach,
• 54:45
  what
• 54:45
  have
• 54:45
  you
• 54:45
  been
• 54:46
  up
• 54:46
  to
• 54:46
  the
• 54:46
  last
• 54:47
  Few
• 54:47
  years
• 54:47
  now.
• 54:48
  Outside
• 54:48
  of
• 54:48
  baseball
• 54:49
  or
• 54:49
  inside
• 54:49
  of
• 54:50
  baseball
• 54:50
  as
• 54:50
  well.
• 54:51
  Sure.
• 54:51
  So
• 54:52
  I
• 54:52
  started
• 54:52
  a
• 54:52
  business
• 54:53
  called
• 54:53
  Four
• 54:53
  Rings
• 54:54
  about
• 54:55
  three
• 54:55
  years
• 54:56
  ago
• 54:56
  and
• 54:56
  two
• 54:57
  and
• 54:57
  a
• 54:57
  half
• 54:57
  years
• 54:57
  ago.
• 54:58
  And
• 54:59
  I
• 54:59
  do
• 54:59
  two
• 54:59
  different
• 55:00
  things.
• 55:00
  One,
• 55:00
  I
• 55:00
  consult
• 55:01
  with
• 55:01
  sports
• 55:01
  teams
• 55:02
  across
• 55:02
  all
• 55:02
  sports,
• 55:03
  basically
• 55:03
  just
• 55:04
  trying
• 55:04
  to
• 55:04
  help
• 55:04
  them
• 55:05
  identify
• 55:06
  opportunities
• 55:06
  to
• 55:06
  get
• 55:06
  better
• 55:07
  in
• 55:07
  their
• 55:08
  operations.
• 55:08
  So
• 55:09
  with
• 55:09
  player
• 55:09
  acquisition,
• 55:10
  with
• 55:11
  player
• 55:11
  development
• 55:11
  and
• 55:12
  other
• 55:12
  ways
• 55:12
  that
• 55:12
  they're
• 55:12
  trying
• 55:12
  to
• 55:13
  make
• 55:13
  their
• 55:13
  team
• 55:14
  better,
• 55:15
  just,
• 55:15
  you
• 55:15
  know,
• 55:15
  try
• 55:16
  to
• 55:16
  figure
• 55:16
  out
• 55:16
  what
• 55:16
  keeps
• 55:17
  those
• 55:17
  GMs
• 55:17
  up
• 55:17
  at
• 55:18
  night
• 55:18
  and
• 55:18
  then
• 55:18
  try
• 55:18
  to
• 55:18
  help
• 55:19
  them
• 55:19
  solve
• 55:19
  those
• 55:19
  problems
• 55:20
  and
• 55:20
  identify
• 55:20
  other
• 55:21
  opportunities
• 55:21
  to
• 55:21
  improve.
• 55:22
  So
• 55:23
  that's
• 55:23
  one
• 55:23
  piece
• 55:23
  of
• 55:23
  business
• 55:23
  and
• 55:24
  then
• 55:24
  the
• 55:24
  other
• 55:24
  part
• 55:24
  of
• 55:24
  it
• 55:24
  is
• 55:25
  that
• 55:25
  I.
• 55:25
  And
• 55:25
  it's
• 55:25
  kind
• 55:26
  of
• 55:26
  very
• 55:26
  separate
• 55:26
  as
• 55:26
  I
• 55:26
  do
• 55:27
  executive
• 55:28
  leadership
• 55:29
  coaching.
• 55:30
  So
• 55:30
  I
• 55:30
  do
• 55:30
  that
• 55:30
  not
• 55:30
  just
• 55:31
  in
• 55:31
  sports,
• 55:31
  but
• 55:32
  in
• 55:32
  other
• 55:32
  industries
• 55:33
  as
• 55:33
  well.
• 55:33
  And
• 55:34
  that's
• 55:34
  something
• 55:34
  that's
• 55:34
  been
• 55:35
  really
• 55:35
  enjoyable
• 55:35
  for
• 55:36
  me
• 55:36
  and
• 55:36
  fulfilling.
• 55:37
  Other
• 55:37
  than
• 55:37
  that,
• 55:37
  I'll
• 55:38
  be
• 55:38
  on
• 55:38
  do
• 55:39
  some
• 55:39
  media
• 55:39
  stuff
• 55:39
  occasionally,
• 55:40
  like
• 55:40
  I
• 55:40
  mentioned
• 55:40
  the
• 55:41
  trade
• 55:41
  rumors
• 55:41
  article.
• 55:42
  And
• 55:42
  Tuesday,
• 55:43
  I'll
• 55:43
  be
• 55:43
  on
• 55:43
  SNY's
• 55:44
  Baseball
• 55:45
  Night
• 55:45
  in
• 55:45
  New
• 55:45
  York
• 55:46
  on
• 55:46
  Tuesday
• 55:47
  evening.
• 55:47
  Always
• 55:47
  good
• 55:48
  to
• 55:48
  see.
• 55:48
  Yeah,
• 55:49
  always
• 55:49
  good
• 55:49
  to
• 55:49
  see
• 55:49
  an
• 55:49
  executive's
• 55:50
  position.
• 55:50
  Well,
• 55:51
  we
• 55:51
  appreciate
• 55:51
  a
• 55:52
  few
• 55:52
  minutes
• 55:52
  tonight
• 55:52
  and,
• 55:53
  you
• 55:54
  know,
• 55:54
  hopefully
• 55:54
  we
• 55:55
  can
• 55:55
  have
• 55:55
  you
• 55:55
  back
• 55:55
  on
• 55:55
  at
• 55:56
  some
• 55:56
  point
• 55:56
  in
• 55:56
  the
• 55:57
  off
• 55:57
  season
• 55:57
  to
• 55:57
  see
• 55:57
  what
• 55:58
  it's
• 55:58
  like
• 55:58
  when
• 55:58
  you're
• 55:59
  trying
• 55:59
  to,
• 55:59
  you
• 56:00
  know,
• 56:00
  sign
• 56:00
  a
• 56:00
  free
• 56:00
  agent
• 56:01
  and
• 56:01
  those.
• 56:01
  Those
• 56:01
  names
• 56:02
  come
• 56:02
  up.
• 56:03
  Sure
• 56:03
  would
• 56:04
  be
• 56:04
  happy
• 56:04
  to.
• 56:04
  Okay.
• 56:05
  Again,
• 56:05
  that
• 56:05
  was
• 56:06
  Zack
• 56:06
  Scott,
• 56:06
  former
• 56:07
  MLB
• 56:07
  gm.
• 56:08
  He
• 56:08
  was
• 56:08
  an
• 56:08
  acting
• 56:09
  GM
• 56:09
  with
• 56:10
  the
• 56:10
  Mets.
• 56:10
  We
• 56:10
  appreciate
• 56:11
  his
• 56:11
  time
• 56:11
  there
• 56:12
  as
• 56:13
  the
• 56:13
  Mets
• 56:13
  are
• 56:14
  closing
• 56:14
  out
• 56:14
  their
• 56:15
  series
• 56:15
  in
• 56:16
  San
• 56:16
  Francisco,
• 56:16
  thinking
• 56:17
  about
• 56:17
  where
• 56:18
  they
• 56:18
  may
• 56:18
  want
• 56:18
  to
• 56:18
  go.
• 56:19
  And
• 56:20
  again,
• 56:20
  I
• 56:20
  appreciate
• 56:20
  his
• 56:21
  time.
• 56:21
  He
• 56:21
  said
• 56:22
  he
• 56:22
  would
• 56:22
  talk
• 56:22
  about
• 56:22
  some
• 56:23
  other
• 56:23
  topics.
• 56:23
  As
• 56:23
  you
• 56:24
  may
• 56:24
  know,
• 56:24
  Zach
• 56:25
  was
• 56:26
  the
• 56:26
  Mets
• 56:26
  gm.
• 56:27
  There
• 56:27
  was
• 56:27
  an
• 56:27
  incident
• 56:28
  where
• 56:28
  he
• 56:29
  did
• 56:30
  have
• 56:30
  an
• 56:30
  arrest
• 56:31
  for
• 56:34
  possibly,
• 56:35
  you
• 56:35
  know,
• 56:35
  behind
• 56:35
  a
• 56:35
  wheel
• 56:36
  falling
• 56:36
  asleep.
• 56:36
  All
• 56:36
  of
• 56:37
  that
• 56:37
  stuff
• 56:37
  was
• 56:37
  found
• 56:37
  unfounded.
• 56:38
  But
• 56:39
  the
• 56:39
  Mets
• 56:39
  decided
• 56:39
  to
• 56:40
  move
• 56:40
  on.
• 56:40
  And
• 56:40
  I
• 56:40
  think
• 56:40
  part
• 56:40
  of
• 56:41
  that
• 56:41
  was
• 56:41
  because
• 56:41
  of
• 56:41
  the
• 56:42
  Jared
• 56:42
  Porter
• 56:42
  situation.
• 56:43
  And,
• 56:43
  you
• 56:43
  know,
• 56:43
  maybe
• 56:44
  the
• 56:44
  next
• 56:44
  time
• 56:44
  we
• 56:44
  will
• 56:44
  talk
• 56:45
  a
• 56:45
  little
• 56:45
  bit
• 56:45
  about
• 56:45
  that.
• 56:45
  But
• 56:46
  it's
• 56:46
  hard
• 56:46
  to
• 56:46
  get
• 56:46
  yourself
• 56:47
  back
• 56:47
  in
• 56:47
  the
• 56:47
  game
• 56:48
  when
• 56:48
  some
• 56:49
  of
• 56:49
  that
• 56:49
  stuff
• 56:50
  comes
• 56:50
  out.
• 56:51
  I
• 56:51
  did
• 56:52
  want
• 56:52
  to
• 56:52
  finish
• 56:52
  with
• 56:52
  a
• 56:52
  little
• 56:53
  bit
• 56:53
  of
• 56:54
  wrestling
• 56:54
  and,
• 56:56
  you
• 56:57
  know,
• 56:57
  just
• 56:58
  kind
• 56:58
  of
• 56:58
  hearing
• 56:59
  a
• 56:59
  little
• 56:59
  bit
• 56:59
  of
• 56:59
  that
• 57:00
  music
• 57:01
  gets
• 57:01
  you
• 57:02
  going
• 57:02
  with
• 57:03
  Hulk
• 57:03
  Hogan.
• 57:04
  And,
• 57:04
  you
• 57:05
  know,
• 57:05
  I
• 57:05
  think
• 57:05
  about
• 57:05
  some
• 57:06
  of
• 57:06
  the
• 57:06
  matches
• 57:07
  that
• 57:07
  he
• 57:07
  had
• 57:08
  and,
• 57:09
  you
• 57:09
  know,
• 57:09
  let's
• 57:09
  just
• 57:09
  listen
• 57:10
  for
• 57:10
  a
• 57:10
  second
• 57:10
  right
• 57:10
  here.
• 57:18
  When
• 57:18
  it
• 57:18
  comes
• 57:19
  crashing.
• 57:19
  Down
• 57:20
  and
• 57:20
  it
• 57:20
  hurts
• 57:21
  inside.
• 57:25
  So
• 57:25
  that
• 57:25
  would
• 57:25
  be
• 57:26
  the
• 57:26
  real
• 57:26
  American,
• 57:26
  Rick
• 57:27
  Derringer,
• 57:27
  as
• 57:28
  Hulk
• 57:28
  Hogan
• 57:28
  would
• 57:28
  come
• 57:29
  down
• 57:29
  in
• 57:29
  the
• 57:29
  ring.
• 57:29
  And
• 57:30
  I
• 57:30
  can
• 57:30
  remember
• 57:30
  a
• 57:30
  steel
• 57:31
  cage
• 57:31
  match
• 57:31
  between
• 57:32
  a
• 57:32
  big
• 57:32
  Boss
• 57:32
  man
• 57:33
  in
• 57:33
  1989.
• 57:34
  But
• 57:34
  I
• 57:35
  think
• 57:35
  the
• 57:35
  biggest
• 57:35
  thing
• 57:36
  is,
• 57:36
  you
• 57:36
  know,
• 57:37
  watching
• 57:37
  the
• 57:38
  immovable
• 57:38
  object
• 57:39
  against
• 57:39
  the
• 57:40
  irresistible
• 57:40
  force.
• 57:41
  And
• 57:41
  that's
• 57:42
  Andre
• 57:42
  the
• 57:42
  Giant
• 57:43
  Hulk
• 57:43
  Hogan.
• 57:44
  And
• 57:44
  that
• 57:44
  would
• 57:44
  be
• 57:44
  my
• 57:45
  number
• 57:45
  one
• 57:45
  match
• 57:46
  where
• 57:46
  he
• 57:46
  picked
• 57:47
  him
• 57:47
  up
• 57:47
  and
• 57:47
  he
• 57:47
  body
• 57:47
  slammed
• 57:48
  him.
• 57:48
  Whether
• 57:48
  or
• 57:48
  not
• 57:49
  Andre
• 57:49
  said,
• 57:49
  hey,
• 57:49
  listen,
• 57:50
  I'm
• 57:50
  gonna
• 57:50
  let
• 57:50
  you
• 57:50
  do
• 57:51
  this.
• 57:51
  That's
• 57:52
  what
• 57:52
  got
• 57:52
  people
• 57:52
  pumped
• 57:53
  up.
• 57:53
  So
• 57:54
  we
• 57:54
  lost
• 57:54
  a
• 57:54
  legend
• 57:55
  in

  Hulk
• 57:55
  Hogan

• 57:56
