  Speaker 1: Welcome back and everybody to GM Territory. On today's show,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go over some mock trades. The trade deadlines
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: almost here, Jim and I kind of wanted to pick
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your brain and maybe you have a few mock trades
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for us.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's always a fun time of year, right,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Fans love trade ideas, trade concepts.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: You know, you have every contending team.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Except maybe the Dodgers that have needs, sometimes big needs,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: and you got to figure out, okay, how can they
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: make trades to fill those needs? Now, granted, the trade
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: deadline isn't until August third, so there's a lot of time.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Remember the Draft is two weeks away, and then you
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: have the All Star Game. But then after that all
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: the attention is going.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: To go to trade.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So let's come up with some ideas, and we would
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: tell the fans, Look, you're gonna like some, you're gonna
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: hate some. If you have your own, No, go ahead
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: and ex us here at GM Territory and give us
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: your feedback. But let's get started. I'll give you one
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: out of the get go. Okay, the Philadelphia Phillies badly
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: need a corner outfielder, right They've lost odoles Garcia for
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the season with an injury. They released Nick Castillis in
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: spring trading. So now that the Angels have a new
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: head of baseball ops in John mozloc who replaced Perry
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and Manassei in this past week, maybe they'll be more
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: open to trading their assets. So how about this as
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: a trade idea, Trey, how about Joe Adell.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Goes from the Angels to the Philadelphia Phillies.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: In return, the Angels get minor league gufielder Dante Nori
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: and right handed pitchers Gabe Craig and Ramon Marquez.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts, I really like this deal, you know, Joe
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Adele I think needs a change of scenery. The big
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: thing with the Dell though, is that he's controllable through
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, So you're not just getting him for
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: this year, but you're going to add that power back
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to that lineup for a few more years to come.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And then, look, the Angels, I think get a lot
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of good prospects from this. Dante Nori, he's the Phillies
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: number six prospect. He's only twenty one years old. You know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he's currently in Double A and he has like a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: contact speed profile. Right he had fifty two stolen bases
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: last season, a three sixty plus on base percentage in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, modest power. I can see him making
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the big league's twenty twenty seven to twenty twenty eight.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And then Ramon Marquez right handed pitching prospects. He's the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Phillies number nine prospect, and he right now is a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: breakout arm for him. You know, he's only twenty years old.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: He's in Single LA. He has a one eight six RA,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a forty percent strikeout percentage, a point eighty five whip,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and then he has five no hit innings in his
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: High A debut. You know, the change up is absolutely nasty.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And then when it comes to Gabe Craig, another prospect
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and back end top thirty twenty three to thirty three range.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: He's twenty four years old, a reliever, he was just
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: promoted High A. You know the slider in his slider
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: is also nasty. So look, I think the Angels and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the Phillies, it's a win win for both sides. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: if you look at a Dell here in the graphics,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: look he can have seven about seven more home runs
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: at Citizens Bank Ballpark and that that ballpark. We all
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: know it's a hitters park. It truly is. So I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: really like this deal. I love this mock trade.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of fun for both sides.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: And look, the Angels have to make bad trade if
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: they can, and that's the kind of trade the Angels
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: have to make to rebuild. That is something they haven't
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: been doing in the previous administration. So if John Mozela
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: can make a deal like this, he has to. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: think the Phillies overpaying that trade, but I think they
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: have to because supply and demand says there's just not
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Corner outfielders available.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me get to the next trade idea. This
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: is another fascinating one. How about Jaron Duran going to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the from the Boston Red Sox to the Padres for
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: cash Mayfield. Look, Duran, Duran brings power, he brings speed.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Combination that the Red Sox, who have done a great
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: job of building pitching to add Mayfield would allow them
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: to then turn around and trade Sonny Gray for possibly
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a bigger bat.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: What is your thought on this trade?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the trade. I think Daran Duran's he's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: due for a change of scenery. As well, there's no
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: question about it. He's having a down year. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he's hitting just below two hundred. He started out the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: year pretty hot. And we all know Jaran Duran. We
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: know he's gonna be able to hit and run and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you know, get you those extra base hits. And look,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Cash Mayfield a left hand hitching prospect. He's the Padre's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: number two to four prospect depending on where you look.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But looks he's only twenty one years old. He's in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: High A right now. He's leading the level in eer
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: A and whip. He has a plus plus change up.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You know, he's a first round pick in the twenty
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: twenty four draft, and you know he can be a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: number two, number three starter. So I think this is
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: something the Red Shock should trade for in a down year.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And Jaron Duran is definitely a hitter that I think
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: needs a change of scenery.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to another trade idea.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Let the Dodgers get rich or you want to how
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: about the Los Angeles Dodgers acquire Trek Scooble from the
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Detroit Tigers in exchange for pitchers Emittcan and River Ryan
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and outfielders Zira Hope that's a huge package for a rental.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: But for the Tigers, they would get two pitchers back
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: they control to improve their rotation. Zire Hope is a
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: future All Star outfielder. It's again, this is a This
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: would be a huge pay. I'm not sure the Dodgers
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: would even train this much to get Schooble. But if
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers really want to win their third World Championship,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: why not go get yet another star and put Schooble
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: with shoe a Otani And yes, Saidoba Yamamoto, and then
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: wait for Tyler Glass that when Blake Snell to get back.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, if that doesn't win a third World Championship,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know what. And if you're the Tigers, you're
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: not going to get that strong a package from anyone.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, if you're the Tigers right now, I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: think you have to make an offer like this. You know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the Tigers are having a down year and the Dodgers
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: or the Dodgers and they have the prospects. I mean,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: ze Er Hope is one that really sticks out to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: me here. You know, he's the Dodgers number two prospects.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: He's you know, only twenty one years old. Currently in
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: double A. He has a sixty grade power and look,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: he had a really hot April as well. And this
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: guy can absolutely tear the cover off the ball. So Jim,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I really like this trade.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: With over thirty five million downloads, seakeeek is the number
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: one rated ticketing app and krats. There are many many
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: baseball games on the inventory to check out all summer long.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: This is the season now, it is baseball baseball season.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Not many other options for you sports wise. I know
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: you can go anywhere you want to go with seakeek.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: There's so many tickets to choose from, but baseball stage. Now.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: For the next couple months, school's out, I'm going to
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: watch some baseball games, some big league games, all in
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: my area, and I want to know exactly what it
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: looks like.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And I also want the best deal, So I'm looking
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: for the green, not the red.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: The green hooks you up with the best deals on
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: the app. Of course, we have the code It's Territory
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: ten for ten percent off your next set of tickets
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: at sea gek. That's ten percent off any MLB tickets
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: with the promo code Territory one zero. Make sure you
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: click the link in the description of this episode that'll
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: download the app if you don't have it already, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: you'll have the code automatically added to your account so
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: that you can use that code later. Thank you, see key.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: All right, let's have the Red Sox wheel and deal
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: again again. This assumes and by the way, the Red
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: sas only five games out in the Wildcard, so that
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean they're necessarily going to sell. But if they
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: do sell, how about if they package starting pitcher Sunny
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Gray and their closer a role this Chatman. What if
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: they package those two guys to the Chicago White Sox
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: for short stop Billy Carlson right here at pitcher Mason
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Adams and outfielder Jaden Fawski. How about that for a
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: blockbuster deal. The White Sox would get great for the
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: rotation Chatman to be their closer.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: That gives them a legit chance to win the division.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And for the Red Sox.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Wow, you're rebuilding your system very quickly with Carlson, Fowski
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: and Adams.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Yeah, I you bring up a great point,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: rebuilding the system quickly, right, They're getting a prospect at
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: each level, They're getting an infielder they're getting an outfielder
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and they're going to get a right handed pitching norm.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So for the Red Sox, look, I think it's something
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: where you have value right now at Sonny Gray and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: orald As Chapman, and you can get a lot of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: great value in return at every level infield, outfield and pitching.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You know, Billy Carlson, he's only nineteen years old, but
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: he's elite. You know, he's got an MLB ready glove
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and a plus arm, and I think the bat is
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: still developed. And then with Fawski, you get someone in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the outfield that he's only a nineteen year old kid, right,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So you're getting all these young guys back in return.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You know. The only downside Adams is he's rehabbing from
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that Tommy John a year ago. But look, if you're
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox, you're making a deal like this, And
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: if you're the White Sox, how are you not going
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to try to go and get a closer and an
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: elite arm in your rotation when you're making a run
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: at it? So yeah, I really like this mock trade.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: All right, let's have the Yankees upgrade third base, how
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: about it? For this mock trade? What if they acquire
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Matt Chatman from the Giants. Giants also pay down Chatman's
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: contract to make it work for the Yankees. In return,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: they get Ryan McMahon, which lessens their financial exposure, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: they get pitching prospect Ben Hess, So they get a
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: pitching prospect that helps them. McMahon can fill in it
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: third base, but the Yankees upgrade third base with Chatman.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: They take a little bit of a salary, but the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Giants pay it down. What are your thoughts on that
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: deal also gives the Yankees a right hand hit or
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: that I think they desperately.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Need, And that's where I was going there. The Yankees
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: need a right hand hitter in that lineup, and Matt Chapman,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: who we all know is having a down year this season,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it might actually benefit for playing in a lot smaller
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: park than he is in San Francisco. Look, I think
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: both sides makes a lot of sense to me. Ryan McMillan,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of his left handed hitter. How
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: can I not be He can be a really good
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: added locker room guy in San Francisco with the young
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: team and a young head coach. That's kind of why
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I like Ryan McMillan going to San Francisco, and then
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: for Matt Chatman. You know, he he is a guy
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that absolutely can tear the cover off the ball when
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he's seeing the ball well, and he just has not
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: been whatsoever. If we look at this graphic here, you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: we can see against right hand pitching, left hand pitching
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: this season. Look, he's hitting, he hits the ball well
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: against left handers, there's no doubt about it. But man,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the fastballs he's getting and just not delivered on this
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: year is kind of a disappointment. But look, I think
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you change the scenery for this guy. We all know
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: what kind of elite player he can be, and you
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: put him at Yankee Stadium. I bet I'm willing to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: bet he's gonna have a couple more bombs there.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: All right, I've golt one more mock trade, and this
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: is my favorite one of all.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Are you ready to put your seatbelt on? Here you go.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: The Minnesota Twins trade Joe Ryan to the Atlanta Braves
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: for left hand pitcher Ken Kim Kimmanetti and Jr. Richie
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: for the Twins building long term. You've got two elite
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: pitching prospects and Cammin Eddy and Richie Keim Eddy of
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: course a former number one pick, and Joe Ryan goes
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: to the Braves. That gives them the best chance of
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: getting back to the World Series. That's my favorite of
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: all these mock trades. I think it's really fair for
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: both sides. I think both sides should do it. Your
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: thoughts on this.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: One, Oh, I love Joe Ryan, not just because of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the flow and the sick mustache, but he's pitching at
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: an elite level and I want him to have a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: chance at a playoffs. Get him out of Minnesota, get
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: him to Atlanta, and then you're right. I mean the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Twins receiving Cam Kaminetti, the left hand pitching prospect. Look,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: he is a guy that can absolutely wheel undeal and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: then you're also getting another pitching prospect and returnment JR.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Ritchie.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: We saw him make his MLB debut earlier this season.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But by the way, in TRIPAA he is a three
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to one record, He has lower than a two VR.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: He has thirty one ks in every thirty third, thirty
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: three innings pitch. You know he can be a solid
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: number three, number four arm in that rotation. I just
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: get so excited when it comes to Joe Ryan because
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I really want to see this guy pitch on a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: team that is playoff ready, going to the playoffs. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: think he's built for the moment.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I love that we're doing these mock trades. Trade season
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: is so much fun. We really want the input of
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: our viewers, So let us know, give us some trade
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: ideas of your own and we can discuss that next week.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: In the meantime sit I want to lax everybody. We
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: going
