Latest / Foul Territory / Alex Bregman’s market, Angels trade for Grissom, WBC roster news
Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: How about Alex Bora, We saw him.
- 0:08Speaker 2: We're not going to bring him on here because we
- 0:10Speaker 2: just had him on FT So we try to be
- 0:13Speaker 2: respectful of people's time. We don't need to have everybody
- 0:15Speaker 2: on every five seconds. But we did ask him one
- 0:18Speaker 2: critical question, who.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Are you signing?
- 0:20Speaker 2: He did a pretty clear cut answer, and I've seen
- 0:23Speaker 2: him talk about it to the media as well. He
- 0:26Speaker 2: would like to continue his friendship that is growing with
- 0:30Speaker 2: Alex Bregman. He said, they really have a friendship.
- 0:33Speaker 1: They keep in touch.
- 0:34Speaker 2: The whole deal, right, the family is all that, and
- 0:36Speaker 2: he would like to have that talent on his roster
- 0:40Speaker 2: long term this time. Maybe this time they don't have
- 0:43Speaker 2: that cute little opt out after year one, so you
- 0:47Speaker 2: have to worry all year about if this is it.
- 0:52Speaker 3: No, it was a one year deal. You knew it
- 0:54Speaker 3: was a one year deal. No more, no more opt outs.
- 0:56Speaker 3: The next one he signs, no more opt outs. And
- 1:00Speaker 3: he's talking so glowingly about a player who had a
- 1:03Speaker 3: three and a half war It was exactly what they
- 1:06Speaker 3: brought in. This dude performed on the field. I know
- 1:10Speaker 3: he had a little stint on the il, but to
- 1:13Speaker 3: see how many young guys they had on this roster,
- 1:16Speaker 3: and they're going to lean on those young young position players.
- 1:20Speaker 3: I think it's a no brainer, as much as Schwarber
- 1:24Speaker 3: back to the Phillies was a no brainer. Bregman back
- 1:27Speaker 3: to the Red Sox and it's a massive massive loss
- 1:30Speaker 3: if the Red Sox do not lock him in.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Agree agree he fits perfectly there, right handed power, they
- 1:38Speaker 4: can play defense.
- 1:40Speaker 2: You know what I heard And these are quotes coming
- 1:43Speaker 2: from front office people while we're here. The Cubs were
- 1:48Speaker 2: talking about how they've seen a lot about activity for them,
- 1:52Speaker 2: and they kind of said, yeah, Matt Shaw's our guy.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Now Mattshaw could be their guy in a number of positions.
- 2:02Speaker 2: I think he did play a few positions in college.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I would advise to just let him run with third base.
- 2:07Speaker 2: But the point is that they have been linked to
- 2:09Speaker 2: Bregman as well.
- 2:10Speaker 1: But to me, it almost made it feel like it
- 2:13Speaker 1: could be right.
- 2:15Speaker 2: But it almost makes it feel like they're not in
- 2:17Speaker 2: on him, and that's just the rumor mill stirring up
- 2:23Speaker 2: options for him.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Did you get that vibe.
- 2:27Speaker 2: If they're saying like, yeah, we like it Chicago and
- 2:34Speaker 2: where so Ifreman is signs with the Cubs, obviously they'll
- 2:38Speaker 2: figure it out, and they have a lot of players
- 2:40Speaker 2: that are departing after twenty six. But for twenty six,
- 2:44Speaker 2: you have Bush at first, you have Horner at second,
- 2:48Speaker 2: you have Swontan at short, you have Show at third.
- 2:52Speaker 2: I think the Cubs are trying to spend their money
- 2:54Speaker 2: on starting pitching, and I think that's what they should do,
- 2:56Speaker 2: maybe a big reliever two.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I don't see it.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I don't see them outbidding everyone for Alex bregnant I
- 3:03Speaker 2: don't see them outbidding the Red Sox. I don't even
- 3:06Speaker 2: think I see them outbidding the Tigers. I said on
- 3:10Speaker 2: this show maybe a month ago, that it would be
- 3:13Speaker 2: hard for me to see Bregman then going back to
- 3:15Speaker 2: the Tigers.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Now I still.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Feel that way, but it sounded to me like the
- 3:22Speaker 2: Tigers are still interested in him. For me, I had
- 3:25Speaker 2: the vibe like, well, you told us no. What I've
- 3:29Speaker 2: found out was they had the ability to up their
- 3:34Speaker 2: offer and get it, I guess, in more of a
- 3:37Speaker 2: range for that one year that he was going to
- 3:39Speaker 2: do to go back to the market, and they didn't
- 3:41Speaker 2: do it. So that's why, or at least partially why
- 3:44Speaker 2: they didn't get the player.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Did that make sense what I just said.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I hear you. You ever seen those videos
- 3:49Speaker 3: where two people who are like the number one and
- 3:52Speaker 3: number two favorite person for that dog in the family,
- 3:57Speaker 3: and they like put the dog in the middle and
- 3:59Speaker 3: they go a part, they go separate, and then they
- 4:03Speaker 3: tell the dog like they just let the dog go
- 4:05Speaker 3: and see which person it goes to. That's what's happened
- 4:08Speaker 3: with Alex Bregman. Reggy's like, oh Man, like I love
- 4:12Speaker 3: aj hint. I had a great time with Alex kra
- 4:17Speaker 3: you know. I think they're kind of building for the
- 4:20Speaker 3: future a little bit. Who will he choose? And I
- 4:24Speaker 3: hope the Tigers are in again because they made a
- 4:27Speaker 3: huge offer. I think it was actually more, but it
- 4:30Speaker 3: wasn't more per year for that first year so he
- 4:33Speaker 3: could opt out, so it essentially was a one year deal.
- 4:36Speaker 3: But I hope they're back in. Let's put it that way.
- 4:38Speaker 3: That's a good way to push all in with in
- 4:41Speaker 3: Schoobls last year.
- 4:45Speaker 2: I think they have to do something like that. I
- 4:48Speaker 2: thought he was a perfect fit for Detroit. Yes, do
- 4:53Speaker 2: you believe in the impact that he makes around the team?
- 4:57Speaker 2: I mean, you've been around guys like this where they're
- 5:02Speaker 2: just junkies and they respectfully want to help everyone, and
- 5:05Speaker 2: so they suddenly show up the next day and they're like, hey,
- 5:08Speaker 2: I figured this out for you.
- 5:11Speaker 1: This is how you're being attacked. I figured this out.
- 5:14Speaker 2: That's a thing, right, I mean, because it's hard to
- 5:17Speaker 2: quantify and it doesn't sound like there are many players
- 5:20Speaker 2: that are worth the extra cash for that contribution, but
- 5:25Speaker 2: he is one of them.
- 5:25Speaker 4: There are a few of them, but breaking them brings
- 5:27Speaker 4: a winner's mentality, a veteran presidence. He changes at bats,
- 5:31Speaker 4: he changes a lineup, and those people are hard to
- 5:34Speaker 4: find and they're special when you find one.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Yeah, A hundre percent agree. I fig that the Phillies
- 5:40Speaker 3: didn't didn't hit on Schwarber. I think that would be
- 5:43Speaker 3: the route they would have had to have gone, because
- 5:46Speaker 3: winning teams need winning players world series. Aspiring teams need
- 5:53Speaker 3: players that have experience, can be out there every single day,
- 5:57Speaker 3: still can play. You gotta play like look like I
- 5:59Speaker 3: can be the best clubhouse guy of all time, but
- 6:01Speaker 3: I'm not really changing the trajectory of a team like
- 6:05Speaker 3: an Alex Bregman. And I think you need those guys
- 6:09Speaker 3: if you're if you're calling young guys up. You need
- 6:11Speaker 3: those guys that help you make that transition, that maturation
- 6:16Speaker 3: process that equals the talent that is there. And I
- 6:20Speaker 3: think the Red Sox have that in Alex Bregman. And
- 6:23Speaker 3: without that, who's that guy, it's Trevor Story. That guy
- 6:27Speaker 3: to me, Trevor Story is that like he's that motor guy,
- 6:31Speaker 3: he's the engine guy. I would just say, yeah, I would,
- 6:36Speaker 3: I would. I would say if you don't sign Bregman,
- 6:39Speaker 3: if either team Tigers or the Red Sox, because I
- 6:42Speaker 3: think they both need them, you don't sign Bragman, who
- 6:44Speaker 3: do you go after? Who is that guy on that
- 6:48Speaker 3: level of leadership that's currently on your team of ability wise?
- 6:54Speaker 3: And I think the Tigers actually get more from from
- 6:57Speaker 3: Bregman than the Red Sox too, because the Red Sox
- 7:00Speaker 3: are definitely laden with talent, but you still need that
- 7:03Speaker 3: leadership guy around.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Futures bet MGM ALCS winning division Al Central plus three
- 7:10Speaker 2: sixty AL East minus one oh five AL West plus
- 7:16Speaker 2: one ninety. I can actually play some ball in this.
- 7:19Speaker 5: I could do the West.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Okay, I could do the West. Remember one team essentially the.
- 7:25Speaker 4: West to mean yes, because the Mariners I think have
- 7:28Speaker 4: a chance they were very close this year. We don't
- 7:31Speaker 4: know what the Astros are gonna do. The Rangers, what
- 7:33Speaker 4: are they gonna do? I could I just think the
- 7:36Speaker 4: West has a better chance than the two to one
- 7:40Speaker 4: the East. Obviously with the Beasts of the East, all
- 7:43Speaker 4: five teams, you can make an argument could do something.
- 7:45Speaker 4: But if you're gonna lay money to me, it's it's
- 7:48Speaker 4: gotta be on the West.
- 7:49Speaker 5: The Central.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Listen, we love the Tigers, Guardians, White Sox, Royals, that
- 7:53Speaker 4: whole division, but it's got to be the East and
- 7:57Speaker 4: the East.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Is too low. So I'm going I'm going I'm going
- 7:59Speaker 5: ale West, laying money on this one.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Agreed. If I could get to East and more like
- 8:05Speaker 3: even money, then I'll take it. Because you ultimately have
- 8:11Speaker 3: three teams. I'm not gonna say five. There's gonna be
- 8:13Speaker 3: three teams. Somebody has a stinker of a year, but
- 8:16Speaker 3: you're gonna get three of those five teams that will
- 8:21Speaker 3: be in the mix. And again in the American League
- 8:23Speaker 3: is not that great. I but yeah, I'm gonna say
- 8:27Speaker 3: the West. I love the Mariners, can never count the
- 8:30Speaker 3: Astros out, and the Rangers might actually do something.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Yeah, Now the Rangers actually we haven't talked about that much.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Are I think they're trimming payroll this offseason. They're not
- 8:45Speaker 2: going to be big players a couple of years ago
- 8:49Speaker 2: and they actually they lost a lot of money after that.
- 8:51Speaker 2: I'm joking. No, I love that move. I love that move.
- 8:58Speaker 4: Langford's gonna go full time center fee Old he lost
- 9:01Speaker 4: the Dolei Scarcia.
- 9:03Speaker 5: The Gram is gonna be there. Of all, he's gonna
- 9:05Speaker 5: be there.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Have great pitching. I can't argue against pitching at this
- 9:10Speaker 3: point in the year.
- 9:12Speaker 5: Healthy seeger Josh Young hopefully stays healthy. Who's I mean?
- 9:16Speaker 5: They can compete?
- 9:17Speaker 4: I feel like just because if you start a rotation
- 9:19Speaker 4: with de Gram and Evald, you should be able to compete.
- 9:22Speaker 5: Yep, agreed and skip Schumacher magic.
- 9:30Speaker 1: We are we are laughing. How many times are we
- 9:33Speaker 1: gonna get knocked and asked it for laugh? You know?
- 9:36Speaker 3: I actually have a tally. I have a tally going
- 9:39Speaker 3: of the last two days. How many times it was?
- 9:41Speaker 3: So we'll let you know at the end of the show.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Good, thank you.
- 9:44Speaker 2: So we did get some comments from fans this is
- 9:46Speaker 2: one opportunity to do this, and they were like, you
- 9:49Speaker 2: guys should be positioned in a different time.
- 9:51Speaker 5: Hold on, but what if I I know you're are
- 9:54Speaker 5: we still talking about it? We're s talking about MGM, we're.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Talking about Let me let me wrap that part.
- 9:57Speaker 5: I have a question because the guy just walked by.

- 10:23Speaker 2: for this yesterday, but I was dying for your thoughts
- 10:26Speaker 2: the tmz ish battle that nobody anticipated coming. You played
- 10:33Speaker 2: with Sonny Gray. You've always had really good insight on
- 10:35Speaker 2: that whole situation. I'm sure you saw the back and
- 10:38Speaker 2: forth with him, then Cashman, then his agent. I just
- 10:44Speaker 2: need to get your overall thoughts on the final result.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna let you be the judge at the
- 10:50Speaker 2: Olympics and you're gonna just tell me, like who got
- 10:52Speaker 2: the top score in that fight?
- 10:55Speaker 3: I think both sides of the story have part of
- 11:00Speaker 3: the story correct. All I can say is when he
- 11:04Speaker 3: came over, there was a team, like I said before,
- 11:09Speaker 3: that had offered him an extension via you know, if
- 11:14Speaker 3: the trade goes through, would you sign this extension? Answer
- 11:18Speaker 3: was yes, Yankees came in traded for him. So I
- 11:22Speaker 3: think there's probably some of you know, would he have
- 11:25Speaker 3: wanted to go to the Yankees. I'm sure there's probably
- 11:28Speaker 3: would have wanted to go to the Yankees before all
- 11:29Speaker 3: this because they weren't winning in Oakland. I know for
- 11:33Speaker 3: a fact that Sonny Gray from country, from the Country
- 11:38Speaker 3: had no problem playing for the A's a lot of
- 11:41Speaker 3: guys you can even you can even ask Josh Reddick,
- 11:44Speaker 3: like those guys like they embraced it, Stephen Vote, they
- 11:49Speaker 3: embraced being in Oakland because they were like, it's us
- 11:52Speaker 3: against the world kind of thing. Could we have nicer stuff? Sure?
- 11:55Speaker 3: Did he win a win a world want to win
- 11:57Speaker 3: a World Series?
- 11:58Speaker 5: Sure?
- 11:59Speaker 3: Two thousand and seven the Yankees were in line to
- 12:01Speaker 3: possibly win a World Series? So could he have said, yeah,
- 12:04Speaker 3: he'd love to go to the Yankees? Yes, Like did
- 12:07Speaker 3: he lie to a VID a minor league video guy
- 12:12Speaker 3: to get him traded over the Yankees. If that's what it.
- 12:15Speaker 3: If that's all it took, like everybody would be spreading
- 12:19Speaker 3: stuff like that. So no, I don't think there's a
- 12:21Speaker 3: lot of Some of the pieces of the story are
- 12:25Speaker 3: probably correct, but you're getting something second third hand. So
- 12:30Speaker 3: when Sonny comes on, we'll ask him all about this. TMZ.
- 12:33Speaker 3: He loves the smoke. He's a vet now, he's not
- 12:36Speaker 3: afraid of, you know, mixing it up a little bit,
- 12:39Speaker 3: having a good time with that Southern draw.
- 12:41Speaker 1: You know, Hey, you know I saw that.
- 12:43Speaker 3: I saw that story, and I think it's funny because
- 12:45Speaker 3: not everybody's got the story correct.
- 12:49Speaker 5: Well, who's the team? Can we get the team?
- 12:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I told you before. I can't. I can't confirm
- 12:56Speaker 3: it because how I remember it. It would be a
- 13:00Speaker 3: good story had we have to wait for Sonny to
- 13:04Speaker 3: say what the team was. To confirm what the team was.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Wait, I actually retract what I said last time you
- 13:10Speaker 2: brought this up. I don't think there's any downside to
- 13:13Speaker 2: you bringing up the team.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Well you're not. You're not Ken Rosenthal.
- 13:19Speaker 2: It's not like we're gonna be like, remember Kratz brought
- 13:21Speaker 2: something up that he said he thought, but he didn't
- 13:24Speaker 2: totally remember. So he's just throwing that out there, and
- 13:27Speaker 2: we'll ask Sonny next time to confirm if that was
- 13:30Speaker 2: indeed the team that he was thinking of.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Yeah, the team I was thinking of was the Dodgers.
- 13:35Speaker 3: The team that was supposedly in an agreement was the Dodgers.
- 13:40Speaker 3: So now you're talking twenty seventeen like this was at
- 13:43Speaker 3: the beginning of their run.
- 13:45Speaker 1: So we'll see.
- 13:45Speaker 3: We'll see if he confirms it. If he's like, man, cratch,
- 13:48Speaker 3: you're so stupid. I never said that. I remember he
- 13:51Speaker 3: said a team, and that's my that's my recollection of
- 13:56Speaker 3: the team that it was.
- 13:57Speaker 2: So he thought he was going to the Dodgers, and
- 14:01Speaker 2: then the Yankee swooped in and the rest is now
- 14:05Speaker 2: a beautiful rivalry.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Yeah, now he goes because now he's on the Red
- 14:08Speaker 4: Sox and he eats. Just try and beat him every
- 14:12Speaker 4: time he pitches.
- 14:13Speaker 3: You guess, as he was anybody else. Everybody, Like we're
- 14:18Speaker 3: trying to be TMZ here too. Sonny Gray wants to
- 14:21Speaker 3: beat everybody that he's facing. There's not any team where
- 14:23Speaker 3: he's looking at it like, who am I facing today?
- 14:26Speaker 5: Oh?
- 14:27Speaker 3: Man, you know, I never really had any issues with
- 14:30Speaker 3: the Brewers. I'm just gonna go out here and try
- 14:32Speaker 3: my best. No, he's a fierce competitor. He wants to
- 14:34Speaker 3: beat anybody. The media, the fans, they're gonna boo when
- 14:39Speaker 3: he comes into Yankee Stadium. Every time he hits a homer.
- 14:41Speaker 3: They'll cheer a little louder. We need this, we need this,
- 14:46Speaker 3: We need aj Prazinski loving the Cubs, but secretly on
- 14:51Speaker 3: the outside saying he hates the Cubs.
- 14:53Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw a bunch of things at you because
- 14:56Speaker 2: we keep doing these great interviews and then news happens.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Nothing crazy, but I mean, there was a trade. The
- 15:01Speaker 2: Angels picked up Von Grissom from the Red Sox for
- 15:05Speaker 2: minor league outfielder Isaiah Jackson. The Angels are becoming a
- 15:09Speaker 2: spot where they're like, hey, let's put.
- 15:13Speaker 5: He play in the big leagues this year.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Did he get any time? If he did, it wasn't much.
- 15:18Speaker 5: He's just a name because he was the big sale, right,
- 15:21Speaker 5: the big sale.
- 15:22Speaker 2: He didn't get up here this year. No, So he
- 15:26Speaker 2: was a promising player for forty one games with the
- 15:29Speaker 2: Braves and the next year doesn't play as well. Again,
- 15:33Speaker 2: super limited abs. He got called up at twenty one
- 15:36Speaker 2: years old, coming from like a small school. I think
- 15:39Speaker 2: I think it was a Florida school that let's see,
- 15:42Speaker 2: where was he coming from and forgetting everything now?
- 15:45Speaker 4: Or was he a high school guy Haggerty Haggarty, bro Haggarty, Haggarty,
- 15:50Speaker 4: High School of Veto right, Zach Efflyn, Ryan Mountcastle.
- 15:55Speaker 2: So high school guy that's called up. My point of
- 15:59Speaker 2: all of this was, hopefully he's able to find it
- 16:01Speaker 2: with the Angels, they're getting to guy s, but also
- 16:05Speaker 2: the Braves won the Chris Sales treach.
- 16:08Speaker 5: Here's that You want to say young, didn't he?
- 16:11Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm just saying prospects are often suspects.
- 16:18Speaker 4: Prospects are suspects until they're players. Scrats, that's what we
- 16:21Speaker 4: always say. Still they become some they're all suspects.
- 16:26Speaker 3: And von Grison needs to elevate the ball a little
- 16:29Speaker 3: bit more. I see he hit thirteen homers minor leagues.
- 16:32Speaker 3: He's able to his batting averages, John, Okay, but there's
- 16:37Speaker 3: a lot more. You know, you got to become a force.
- 16:39Speaker 3: I think he came up. He was a guy. I
- 16:41Speaker 3: was trying to look at some of his minor league numbers.
- 16:43Speaker 3: He was like a one to one guy striking out
- 16:46Speaker 3: the same amount that he's walking. So he's not striking
- 16:49Speaker 3: out a ton. He needs to elevate those He needs
- 16:52Speaker 3: to elevate those walk numbers and do more damage and
- 16:56Speaker 3: not just make contact with everything. It's learning, not every buddy,
- 17:00Speaker 3: not everybody that makes it up to the big Lee's
- 17:01Speaker 3: at twenty twenty one years old and hits a ding.
- 17:05Speaker 3: I remember it was in Boston. He had a homer
- 17:08Speaker 3: I think his first at bat or first game over
- 17:09Speaker 3: the monster. He has value. It's just a matter of
- 17:13Speaker 3: him finding finding his value and finding where he best
- 17:16Speaker 3: fits to put his best at pass forward in the
- 17:19Speaker 3: big leiges.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Next up here, real quick, we have gotten a number
- 17:26Speaker 2: of little tidbits on World Baseball Classic.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Who's in, Who's out? All that stuff.
- 17:34Speaker 2: It is busy, but krats Team usays roster has been
- 17:39Speaker 2: filling Dennis Gilbert.

- 18:11Speaker 2: We know that Garrett witlocks in the bullpen. Wa Wait,
- 18:14Speaker 2: hold up, it's a great squad. Notice how I just
- 18:18Speaker 2: named a bunch of position players no pitchers. Who's pitching
- 18:23Speaker 2: for this team?
- 18:24Speaker 1: I know.
- 18:26Speaker 2: We brought boyd right, that's true, Skins Whitlock. Jack Curry
- 18:31Speaker 2: reported that Freed mcfreid was asked, he said, nah, I'm good.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I don't know who's pitching for Team USA. We're not
- 18:39Speaker 1: I'm not worried about.
- 18:39Speaker 5: Theres options there?
- 18:43Speaker 2: Say yes, yes, what happened last time?
- 18:47Speaker 1: They don't have enough pitching.
- 18:48Speaker 4: They lost in you think two slider to mac Trout.
- 18:54Speaker 3: I'm just saying, I mean to me, if you're gonna
- 18:56Speaker 3: if you're going to win this, you need the best
- 18:59Speaker 3: guys out there to roll through it. I'm sorry, but
- 19:02Speaker 3: you can't have Merrill Kelly and Adam Wayne Wright as
- 19:05Speaker 3: guys that are getting significant innings for you. And maybe
- 19:08Speaker 3: they'll look at it as you know.
- 19:09Speaker 4: What, Wayne no pitch wayno pitched against like they set way,
- 19:13Speaker 4: no up to where he would pitch it to certain things.
- 19:17Speaker 3: So then it's all about so then it's all about
- 19:22Speaker 3: the So then it's all about whoever, you know, whoever
- 19:25Speaker 3: you have in the bullpen, because they're not gonna sit
- 19:27Speaker 3: there and go They're not gonna sit there and go yeah,
- 19:31Speaker 3: you know, we'll have a starter, go long, yeah.
- 19:38Speaker 4: Whatever, they'll be guys. By the way, the only reason
- 19:41Speaker 4: I brought up Dennis Gilbert. By the way, Jim Gibbella
- 19:43Speaker 4: just walked by me, super scout for the Giants.
- 19:45Speaker 5: I've done forever.
- 19:46Speaker 4: But Dennis Gilbert, who just who walked by me originally
- 19:49Speaker 4: when we came on. He used to be an agent.
- 19:54Speaker 4: He negotiated the Bobby Bonia contract that he's still gets
- 20:00Speaker 4: paid for.
- 20:03Speaker 3: I know he took his money up front, that is good.
- 20:08Speaker 4: But Dennis Gilbert now he owns an insurance coming that's
- 20:11Speaker 4: worth like more money than all of us combined.
- 20:13Speaker 5: So he's doing fine.
- 20:14Speaker 4: But he negotiated the Bobby Bennie of the original deferral contract.
- 20:18Speaker 1: He clearly knows what he's doing with money.
- 20:20Speaker 5: Yes, he knows how to make money, but.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Some people in the chat said, what about Michael Bush
- 20:23Speaker 1: for first base.
- 20:26Speaker 5: Back to Team USA? That'll be fine.
- 20:28Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe a Max free pitches for Team Israel.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I don't think he's pitching in the WBC. You know
- 20:34Speaker 2: what about Eras Chapman.
- 20:35Speaker 4: Pitching for Great Britain's How did they get I'm just
- 20:39Speaker 4: trying to figure out how that works.
- 20:40Speaker 5: He's from Cuba, but he's gonna picture Great Britain.
- 20:43Speaker 1: It's a free for all.
- 20:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I've decided I'm going to pitch for Team Poland
- 20:50Speaker 4: doesn't have a team.
- 20:51Speaker 1: So Great Britain is handing out passports.
- 20:54Speaker 5: All right, May we'll go over there and get one.
- 20:59Speaker 3: And what but dazzlers, they're going to dazzle their uniforms
- 21:03Speaker 3: this year. They're gonna get to make their uniforms.
- 21:07Speaker 2: You know how you said that there would be a
- 21:09Speaker 2: dress code and araldish Chapman was like, that's cool. I'm
- 21:12Speaker 2: gonna wear whatever I want. If you have a problem,
- 21:15Speaker 2: let me know. I'm six six two forty pure muscle.
- 21:19Speaker 2: That might happen again with Great Britain. You might just
- 21:21Speaker 2: show up with his own uniform customized. Since somehow the
- 21:26Speaker 2: WBC makes millions and millions and millions of dollars, but
- 21:29Speaker 2: Great Britain had to fund the uniform situation on their own,
- 21:33Speaker 2: thus letters.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Falling off of how how's the runoff?
- 21:37Speaker 2: Great Britain might just have a customized Eeraldish Chapman jersey
- 21:40Speaker 2: on his own.
- 21:42Speaker 3: I think it's terrible. I think Major League Baseball needs
- 21:44Speaker 3: to make sure all the teams are funded, all the
- 21:48Speaker 3: teams are announced when they have stars that are playing
- 21:51Speaker 3: for them, not just Team USA. Sorry, but imagine.
- 21:57Speaker 2: It's like Great Britain trying to pull up the upset
- 21:59Speaker 2: of the sension.
- 22:00Speaker 1: You get some round and Chatman comes in and be sick.
- 22:05Speaker 5: Yeah,
