  Speaker 4: Fear of God.
• 0:35
  Speaker 6: Has but I was gonna say, damn, you're off the
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: bad start. When you first flipped that, I thought it
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: was a Detroit had had. I was like, wait a second, Shawn,
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: we played together a long long time ago, but we
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: need to have a chick here before you get to
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: the south Side.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Just a brand that okay, that's the brand.
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: That was the Big MLB.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Low.
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: I didn't know the Fear of God got to do
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: the Big MLB logos.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So you played with him, ahile when he got traded over,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: now what's your Maybe you gave him a line of
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: advice back then.
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: He threw to me one time, and we're not going
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: to talk about what happened. I don't know if he
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: remembers exactly what happened. I didn't want to bring it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Up, so I don't exactly So I've told this story.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: It was in the cages one day, and I'm sorry, Sean.
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: I I didn't know if I should tell this story,
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: if it's appropriate now. But we're here now. Scott brought
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: it up. You were just gotten traded over for from
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: the Angels for h Andleton Simmons, and they said, hey,
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: you got to come catch this. We got this guy
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: in of trade. We're super excited about it. You got
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: to come catch him. In the bullpen. It was raining,
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: So I'm in this bullpen. It's a cage. You know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: they got the nets and everywhere. He didn't throw a
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: strike like it was not It was not even closer.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So it was nervous because it's you.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: So I so after he gets done, I go to
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: the I think Roger was that Roger McDowell was our
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: pitching coach. I go Roger Man, that wasn't very good.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: He goes he was nervous. I said, was he nervous
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: about it. He goes, well, I asked him that, Roger says.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: I asked Sean why he was So he goes on,
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: I'm throwing to the big league catcher, and Rogers says,
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: I looked at Sean and and go, well, if you
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: make the big leagues, you're going to be throwing to
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: the big league catcher.
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: Too, you know.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Anyways, that was like my one Sean Newton story. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: now you've gone on to have a tremendous career. So
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: I am proud that I was the first big league
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: catcher you got to throw it to.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was way back.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure it was Disney was pouring rain.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: It was weird, Yes, exactly. It was freezing cold, it
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: was raining. It was in the cage. I couldn't even
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: I was so old. I couldn't even throw the ball
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: back because you have to throw it like this eye.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: So I was like rolling at backstep right. Yeah, anyways,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: but you've gone on to have a trimnut screw. You
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: obviously had a nice one of the braves. You've been
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: to a bunch of teams. Now, what did the White
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: Sox say to you? Said you want to eat innings.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: What's your role going to be. Are you gonna be
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: a starter A You're going to be a bulk guy
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: in the middle, a lead inning guy because you've kind
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: of done a bunch of different things now throughout your career.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the goal is to start and you know, just
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: get to that, you know, the most inning is possible,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: and kind of continue what I was.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Able to do last year.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I got settled back in, but like like you said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of prepared to do whatever it takes. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: know they do have some young guys coming up starter wise,
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: but just for me where I'm at my career, getting
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: you know, getting some starts in hopefully as many as
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: possible up to thirty and just kind of taking that
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: next step building on what I did last year is
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: my main goal. And I've also been in, you know
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: with the A's a little bit here the past few years.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And kind of a lot of younger guys and in.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: The position of being one of the older guys already.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: So just looking forward to kind of taking that under
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: you know, just getting going with that and sleeping by
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: example as anyway I can.
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: What does that look like building your innings up? You
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: had ninety two last year. Obviously, you haven't eclipsed a
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: one hundreds since your first two years in the big leaues.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: What does that look like?
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: Because no player and maybe you can tell me if
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: I'm wrong, but no player goes in the off seat.
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: Is like, you know, if I just have a mediocre
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: first half, like you're working out and you're like, dude,
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna kill it the first half. I'm probably gonna
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: make the All Star team. I got fifteen starts under
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: my belt. What does that look like in the sense
• 4:04
  Speaker 9: of like, oh man, I want to get thirty starts,
• 4:08
  Speaker 9: but I haven't done that in a bit where you
• 4:11
  Speaker 9: know you're gonna go into uncharted territory. And what kind
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: of conversations does the team have about that? Are they like, yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: we'll take thirty starts, but we'll trade you halfway through
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: the year.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely, you know, one of those things you're
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: thinking about, just the reality of the situation, how it
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: kind of pans out.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: For me.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: In my mind, going from ninety or so innings and
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: getting towards like one fifty doesn't sound that crazy, just
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: because in my mind I've always been, you know, a
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: starter and all that kind of stuff obviously, just haven't
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: done it, and that's kind of that's where we lean
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: on the off season prep thee strength and conditioning, all
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: that kind of stuff.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: And also just like.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: The way I've been pitching, especially last year, it's been
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: a lot less stressful. Finally, kind of flipping it from
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: when I used to throw to AJ and throwing a
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: lot more strikes and keeping things in the zone and.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Actually pitching it is definitely gonna make it a lot
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: less stressful.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, strikes are each show. I'm gonna give you some
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: old man of ice. Strikes are always good, Okay, no
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: matter what, even if they hit him out of the park,
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: they're still better than walks. I promise you. Nobody, nobody
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: on earth has ever really yeah, exactly, you're right, what
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: third or thirty two years old? I think when I
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: saw your like twenty five, twenty three, twenty four, So
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: we're a little bit we've grown up in our old age. Okay,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: So I'm proud of you. How much you're looking forward
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: to the White Sox. Okay, like you said, you've said,
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: they've kind of said they're gonna give you an opportunity
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: to do this. This will be really is gonna This
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: is probably gonna be like your real first time where
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: you know your role going to spring training. How much
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: are you looking forward to that being the veteran one
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: of the veteran guys on the staff.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of been been looking for it for
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: a while, you know. I think in the Braves seventeen eighteen,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I was starting to get rolling and then kind of
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: just hit some speed mumps and never got to do
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: that where I was sewing up in.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Camp and knew what was gonna happen. So that's definitely
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: a good feeling, just kind of being able.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: To just kind of have to worry about that, just
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: going and knowing I'm going to be working with these
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: guys for the full year. I'm pretty familiar with some
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: of the younger dudes. They have some young pictures from
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: the mass Boston area where I'm from, so Shane Smith,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Mike Vassel, I know them pretty well. Got a you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: an old Angels Pitcheon coach that's the Bullbend coach now,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Matt Wise. So there's some familiar faces that will help
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: get it going. And then I spent some time with
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: the Cubs, so I loved Chicago and that was kind
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: of one of the appeals looking at.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Both those teams a free agency just good city.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: That I was familiar with, and then again similar situation
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: to being the older guy again after I was that
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: the past couple of years and just looking forward to
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: getting going with a young group.
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: Can you explain to us as a free agency process
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: because normally there's not just one team. When a guy
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: gets a big league deal, it's not quite the same offer,
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: but everybody's you know, people will say, well, why did
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: you choose the White Sox over you just talked about
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: the Cubs too, like what is that?
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: What's that?
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: What did you prioritize when teams were coming after you?
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: Because we all know there's collusion and the numbers are
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: all the same, but each situation is completely different.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that was the tough part, was kind
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: of going through the situations and seeing, you know, the
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: reality of them. Maybe it's like, say, if I were
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: to sign back in Boston and the starters that they
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: do have and all those different kind of things, just
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: where you fall in the debt chart. And that was
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: the biggest thing I think, was looking just for opportunity
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: to kind of you know, build on the ninety two
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: innings last year, and you know, like you said before,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: trying to get to those thirty starts and everything. That
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: was the main goal obviously, aside from money. And then
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: like you said, with the collusion and everyone just you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: absolutely low balling and everyone coming in at the same
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: exact number somehow and all these different things. So that
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: was that was my first time dealing with it. It
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: was eye opening, even more than you already d already
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: kind of had an idea. But for me to number
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: one thing, it was just opportunity. And then you know,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: just being around those young guys, like I was saying,
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: we'll hopefully we'll kind of.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Build together and have a good year.
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: How was it going to Sacramento last year? After pitching
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: the Colisseum we heard what Seve said, Luis Savarino said
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: about the mound. How tough was that and was that
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: really something? And did it improve part way through the
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: season once they started listening to pictures and how to
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: improve the mound?
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Let's say the game man might have got a little
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: bit better. Super inconsistent though, like even like the bullpen mound,
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: if you went out there, it's not it's not your
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: typical clay. It's not your typical like red or brown clay.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: It was like this black, chunked up material that just
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: would you know, you felt like it was the seventh
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: inning after you threw ten pitches kind of thing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: And that's just I mean. I actually was with the
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: River Cats.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: And Sacramento in twenty three with the Giants for a second,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: so I was familiar with the area and what you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: just like the way the facilities were.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: They didn't make too much too many changes other.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Than kind of just prettying up the.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Pads around the walls. They put a little building in
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: the left corner for the clubhouse and all that stuff,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: and they definitely did the did the least they had
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: to do to kind of get it ready. But like
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: you said, the coming from the coliseum, things were so
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: outdated there it was kind of hard to get a
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: good grasp on it. Especially for the dudes who don't
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: have any other experiences. You kind of feel for them
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: because they're playing in the triple at Ballpark and you
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: heard Sevy talk about it. With just the inconsistencies. You
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: go on the road and you're like, God, this is
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: what the show is, and then you kind of go
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: back to Sack. But I think they did a good job.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: You know, Cotts and the crew did a good job
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: keeping everyone kind of just focused on baseball and focused
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: on each other and not worrying about those kind of
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: little things.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Hope, I hope for all those views that they do
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: get out of there and get to Vegas and that
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: all goes smoothly so they can all experience the full
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: the full show. But overall it is pretty wish you
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: wash it. It was an ideal.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: How would you explain it the full show? Because people
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: will say, oh, well, they got to go to the
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: Big League's eighty one games. How would you explain it
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: to those guys who are like, yeah, you know, eighty
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: one big League games on the road is different than
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: eighty one big League home games.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean just I mean, the biggest thing is
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the clubhouse isn't even connected to the dugout, so you
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: got guys waiting for half innings to run down the track.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: So that just the image of that alone pretty crappy looking.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: And then just the lack of the second and third.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Deck just a feel for that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: You know, he's playing Division.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: You show up in Texas, Seattle, you walk out, you
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: look up and you see you know, the roof, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: you can just feel the atmosphere versus you just kind
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: of step out and sack and you just have like
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: your you know, the one level it's like one hundred
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: and five degrees and everything just feels like burned out.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, it's still the show.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: You know, you're still getting your paycheck, You're still getting
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: treated well in the clubhouse with the staff and the
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: you know, with all these good players and everything, but
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: it definitely misses just a little touch of, like guess
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: aid the show.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Sean, do you feel like you had an advantage that
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: team has a lot of young arms and at some point,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I mean early on actually in the season, the pitching
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: kind of fell apart for four to six weeks, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that knocked the A's out of the playoff contention. If
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you take that out, which you can't do, but if
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you take that out, the rest of the year like
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: they were pretty good.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: You go over there, your numbers were freaking sparkling, right.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: This is how you know it turned into the interest
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that you had in the off season, the success you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: had over there. Do you think any of that had
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to do with you being able to maybe handle some
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of the you know, crappy parts of being in a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: minor league park, or do you think it just had
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: more to do with some tweaks that you were making,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: whether it's pitch mixeror otherwise.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was talking about the adjustments I made when
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: I got to camp and Boston, just finding I wear
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: my offspeed kind of play, and I learned a little
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: more about my singer, which has been new the past
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: couple of years, and that you know, I went into
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: my five starts felt really strong. I feel like usually
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: for me, it's like a fifteenish innings or so, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: then I really kind of get rolling, and that's where
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I was at about you know, maybe twenty innings, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: then kind of got shoved in the pen once everyone
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: got healthy and I was still feeling really good about stuff.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: So I had had some like four or five inning
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: outings out of the pen where I felt like I
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: did really well, and then you know, everything kind of
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: fell into place there where you know, they had to
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: make some moves, got moved over to the athletics, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: I kind of just knew where I was at, knew
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: the team. It was helped obviously being familiar with everybody
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: and Sacramento and everything, and then just kind of put
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: on just kind of got into like a grinding.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Mentality and just I had to kind of buckle down.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: There for like three or four months, and it would
• 12:48

• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Gotta do we have any free agent? Can we get
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: a free agent update? Before we before I make fun
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: of your due rag beneath your Camo hat, before we
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: get to that. Can we get a free agent? Oh? Wow, headband,
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: I got to keep that head warm. Can we get
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: a free agency?
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm not cratsod.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: No, we don't have the hair to stop the sweat.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: So when you do anything like me, if I'm just
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: walking or just chewing bubble gum, I start sweating. So
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: I got to keep it out of my eyes and
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: to the free agent thing. No, we're still a free agent.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: We're still working on finding a job for next year.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Rowdy.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Did anyone see your numbers with the Texas Rangers? They
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: were pretty damn good.
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: I would I would think so, I would hope so
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: at least, But you know, it's a sometimes there's not
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: all the what's on the back of the baseball card.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: So you know, I'm just again trying to.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: Be good and do whatever I can to get myself
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: that job when I get the opportunity, make sure I
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: don't let it go through the fingers.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: You know, the old thing.
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: Stuff when when you're talking to these teams or when
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: they start calling, or if they started calling, do you
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: set like a deadline, do you set a deadline to say,
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: you know what, if it's just minor league jobs, maybe
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: I'll try Japan.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Or is Japan out of the question.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: I still feel like I can produce and be a
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: good impact in the in the major League. So for
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: right now, I just want to focus on doing what's
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: over here. But you know, like if that's the route
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: that we take, you know, we go over there and
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: we make some money and put up some good numbers
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: and we come back. But I haven't quite dove into
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: that discussion yet with my agents. So but you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: it's you hear a lot of good things about what
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: goes on over there, for for American players or foreign
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: players that go over there.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: So it's definitely kind of intriguing.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: You hear a lot of guys want to talk about it,
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: play there a year or two when they're done playing
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: and and stuff. But you know, it wouldn't be a
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't be opposed to it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Think about the legend that you could become in Japan.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Think about like you could be the new mister Baseball. Right,
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: you'd have to shave your beard, you could get the mustache.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: You could be the next Tom Selick. But think about
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: you walking up to the plate, because there's not an amount
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: of guys in Japan that are your size. So when
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: you walk up to the plate and you start mashing
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: homers there, you could be a legend in Japan. Not
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: that I don't want you to play an MLB, but
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: I'm just thinking like even after, like you get your
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: ten years in and you're like, oh, maybe I can
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: play a couple extra years and you just go over
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: there and start launching nukes over the fence left and right,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: and they'll just I mean they'll have cheers, all kinds
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: of cheers for you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that would be. That would be pretty cool.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: Like that would be.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: That was like what I was saying, like I feel
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: like I can still produce over here. And then on
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: the backside, get enough time, you know, and you go
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: over there and you play a couple of years and
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: get to enjoy it. But you know, you hear a
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: lot of things like that when these players go over there,
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: like they love Big Poppy, they love the big the
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: big guys, I guess, and I'm a little more squishier
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: than most. So I think they would really take to
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: the to that part, the.
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: Big, big poppy and big squishy.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: I like that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, the big the big squishy.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Oh no, now see, now you're gonna get that mex
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: the the Texas Rangers team whatever they were, that radio team.
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: They're gonna start calling me new nicknames now.
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: So so yeah, that's so. That's so last year, but
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: we're talking about next year. Sometimes in the off season,
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: when you're sitting there as a minor league free agent,
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: big league free agent looking for just an invite to camp,
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: do you ever get any feedback of, Hey, you know what,
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: we saw, what you did, the changes you made when
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: you went to Texas, all that stuff, but we didn't
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: like this. Do you ever get feedback, hey, you know what,
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: if you could change this, would that be helpful to you?
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: I bet you My agents have I stick a little
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: bit removed from it and just focus on what I
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: can control. But you know, like looking at it and
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: being a self evaluator, like you, got to look at
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: certain things. I think for me would probably be the
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: walks I don't I didn't walk a ton. You know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: there's something that I'd say if those were just a
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: little bit better, I bet you being a way different position.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: But you know, as a self evaluator, you got to
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: look at things and be honest with yourself. And I
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: think that was probably the biggest part of my game
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: that could have used the most, you know, change, And
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: I think that's something that the soft season we've done
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: with just pitch recognition, taking VP and treating it more
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: of like seeing what pitch I want, being honest with
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: myself if I swung at the pitch and VP that
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: I wanted to even if it was a good swinger
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: or not, like making sure I was really diligent about
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: that side of the work. But you know, as you
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: get older, you start to master things. And I think
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: that's one thing as I get older, like I need
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: to be better at So if I were to be
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: evaluating myself, it would be just the walk aspect pitch recognition.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: But you know, I still want to do damage and
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: I still know I can do damage. So sometimes you
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: hit the ball out of the zone and it goes far.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Sometimes you just swing a miss, But I definitely can
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: be better in some parts.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: When you talk of teams, are you talking playing first base?
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Are you talking as d H. You know, platoony d
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: H kind of guy. What what do you think your
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: role would be better suited as? Because I'm sure you'd
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: like to play first base. But if team comes, he says, hey,
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: what should be our full time?
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: DH?
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Would you accept that?
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: I think, you know, I just want to play in
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: the big leagues. I want to.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: I still, like I said, I know I can impact
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: the team. I still believe my glove. I still believe
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: I can play play the field. You know, I gotta
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: be the biggest target in baseball to throw to at
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: first base, so that's got to be a plus for
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: some infielders. Still trust my hands picking the ballfield and
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: ground balls, you know, like working big on some some
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: first step stuff this offseason. But I think ultimately, like
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: I would love to play first But whatever a team
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: needs me to do is I'm gonna.
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna do it. You know, I just want to.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: I just want to win games and impact the guys
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: positively and be kind of a presence there, whether they
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: need me to talk to the young players or or.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: You know, just do whatever they need me to do.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: I'm down to do it. Right.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: You went from Seattle to Texas Last year, Seattle was
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: what this close to going to the World Series for
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: the first time ever. Were you rooting for those guys?
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: I know, they let you go and you ended up
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: in Texas, you ended up getting hot and having a
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: great finish to the season. Do you did you root
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: for them after you were let go?
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: You know, I became close to a lot of those
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: guys pretty fast.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: It's a really tight knit group of guys over there,
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: and you know, that was something that was that was
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: special to watch for them, especially being as close as
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: I was to some of those guys and watching them
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: succeed obviously, you know, Cal putting together probably most historic
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: season as a catcher and them doing what they do.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: I love the staff over there. There was no hard
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: feelings whatsoever.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: You know, like we all know the saying if you
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: don't like it, played better and I could have played
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: better to stay over there, but it wasn't in the cards,
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: and you know, I just I wanted them to do
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: it was best of them. And it feels like every
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: team I was on pretty much was in the postseason
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: outside of uh the Rangers, you know, like Mariners were
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: in there, Brewers were in there, Blue Jays were in there,
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: so maybe, uh maybe I was.
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: Like the magic thing.
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: Maybe that was like four or five years ago with
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: the Blue Jays, but it could be a lasting effect,
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: you know, you never know.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and and you were getting a playoff bonus coming
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: your way, so yeah, you wanted, yeah, you wanted them
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: to make it to the World Series. That was a
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: nice December seventh paycheck, wasn't it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Uh, Yeah, that that was I want to really that
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: would have been nice to double dip get some of that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: You know, maybe some of the Rangers too scoop. I'm
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: never I'm not a one scoop guy. I'm a two
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: scoop guy. And that's but you know, you can't be
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: too greedy sometimes. That's all they got at the at
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: the store. So it was it was awesome. I was really,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: I was, yeah, I was really. I was really appreciative
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: for you know, the players and them doing that for me.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: So one of the one of the teams that you
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: have played on you could actually join without signing with
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: a big league organization. Any chance you're gonna play for
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: Team Mexico in the WBC or do you have to
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: wait till you find a job first?
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: And then they call you.
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: I told them I would play, so that'll be coming
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: up whenever was that March, we'll be in Houston, you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: really excited to be back with them. And when they
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: called me right away, I said, yeah, I wanted to
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: be a part of That was some outstanding baseball.
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: Those fun, great group of guys, great staff.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: It was one of those where it was like kind
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: of like a special moment in baseball to get to
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: represent my family, represent my country. You know where all
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: my family's from, and you know, I know, it meant
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: a lot for them to see Mexico on the front
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: and our.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: Last name on the back.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: So sometimes it's bigger than baseball, and it meant a
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: lot to my family. And to do that for my
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: family was huge, and I really want to be a
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: part of it and win it. We're returning pretty much everybody,
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: and we're adding guys, so we're.
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: Gonna be a really good team again.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm going to be in Houston when you guys
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: are there. Does that mean you're going to take me
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: out to dinner and pay?
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: I'll take you out to dinner, but I won't pay.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: They usually say the veterans take care of the younger players,
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: and in this case, you are a veteran.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: You're active. Active players also take care of the old, retired,
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: broke players.
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: You have a job right now. I don't.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm not an active player. You're under contract.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's some other rich dudes that can take you out. So,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: because he said.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Basically, everyone's back, So like his India Rose Arena back,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Alejandro Kirk like, who are we talking here?
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they will be there. They will be there.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: So hey, you know what, maybe we team up and
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: we find somebody and then we get what we want.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: What do you want, rowdy, what do you want? What
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: do you want? A free meal?
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: I want food? Yeah. Oh, I'm kind of sitting here.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: I was supposed to be.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: I was supposed to be at home so I could
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: be eating on maybe on TV, but then they would
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: probably make fun of me even more so. But you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: I'm just sitting here hanging out. Don't let the haters, yeah, okay,
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: don't let the hair. They can't they can't get under
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: my skin. I'm like a it's a thick layer. I
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: can't really get under there. I'm not like you. I'm
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: not like you.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: A jam you get offended really easy. You get a
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: little sensitive on me.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: You're kind of like a like a jellybean, you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: like you gotta it's kind of hard on the outside,
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: and then.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: Once you get inside super soft.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: That's you.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: And that's what I do.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: I get right through that hard exterior and I can
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: I can get to your space and hurt your feelings
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: a little bit, but it's okay.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: That's okay. That's why you're gonna buy me dinner. Because
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: you've hurt my feelings so many times, you're gonna hurt
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: my and I'm assuming. Listen, I've been to Houston a
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: lot in my life because I've had to do a
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: lot of Astros games over here. They really do have
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: great Mexican food there, So I figure if you're on
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: Team Mexico, there's gonna be a bunch of guys on
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: that team that know where to go eat and Houston,
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: and there's probably gonna to be some places that I
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: haven't been, So I definitely am looking forward to those
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: recommendations from you and your teammates.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: And I'm pretty sure they have hamburgers and hot dogs
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: for you Americans, so have fun.

  Speaker 8: Right out there.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: That was awesome.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Wait, so I'm looking back at the roster. I mean
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: there's some guys that have taken significant strides too. Like
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: this was three years ago. Jonathan Rondo was on that team.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: That's a very different player now.
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: Even Yeah, Jared Durant had like two at bats.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Like this team, dude, this roster looks good. Yeah. You
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: mentioned Kirk and Randy, So so you've got Duran, Ronda.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: They didn't ask me to play.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: They said if I wanted to be on the on
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: the team. So I might be coaching. I have no idea.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: You're starting to name off some guys that are really good. Yeah,
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: it might be Benji's like right hand man.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what well, what is this look like then? So Ronda? Yeah,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: can Ronda play? He can play.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: I don't Yeah, I don't know what's gonna happen.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: I just know that I'll be there and hopefully somewhere
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: in the middle of that lineup, putting together wins for
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: Mexico and bringing a championship.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: You know, down there, dude, this team is is.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: You're a vibes guy. Now, rowdy, you're a vibes guy.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: So maybe you might just be the hype man.
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: I might be.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: I might have to walk around with the boots in
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: the sombrero like the guys are doing last year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: That might be me.
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: But you know what, I'm gonna take a shot in
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: the dark and say that's not gonna be me. I'm
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: gonna be I'll be vibes on the field too.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: You know how much money you would make if you
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: walked up to the plate in a WBC game with
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: a sombrero and boots on hit a homer? Do you
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: know how viral and how much money you would make

• 27:59
  Speaker 6: I played, I've already done it. Oh I sure? Did

• 28:22
  Speaker 6: Was the only thing that was sore, I'll tell you
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: what was sore my shoulder because I had not thrown
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: a baseball in about three years. So when they told me,
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: I have to throw it the second, you know, between innings,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: I told the picture, I go, listen, you're my cutoff guy, dude,
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: So I'm just throwing it to you, and then you
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: throw it to say because I don't, I don't think

  Speaker 6: No, my kid doesn't want to throw with me.
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't either.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest, but his kid wants to do
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: a derby with it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: I will.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: My kids challenged me to home run derby the other day,
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: and I said, kid, don't you don't want to. You
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: don't want smoke. You don't want that smoke.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: Do you think you could beat them?
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: Oh, without a doubt. I could probably beat you in
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: a home.
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: Show, did you, Shay.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: Let's okay, let's not get carried away here, April fools.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: AnyWho. There's just because you bought it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: Just because you bought a silver slugger in the back
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: back there and you started placing it, that doesn't mean
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: you saw a pop.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, never lose it. You never lose it. I'm just
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: telling you never lose it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I mean at some point never.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: I remember Tonyo Leva, Tonio Leva when I first sign
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: with the Twins. I don't know how old he was
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: at the time.
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: He can't.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: He went out there and he used to say, watch
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: the snaky jump because in Fort Myers back then there
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: was there was just woods behind the fences in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: minor league, and he would just hit home run after
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: home run. He'd been retired for like twenty years at
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: that point, and he's like, you never lose it. Good,
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: he said, watch the snaky jump. Rowdy.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: All right, well, when that happens, I'll come out there
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: and I will watch You'll will bring you your life
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: your life alert, and I wheel you out there like
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: they do have they bring the talent gator, right, I'll
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: bring you a life alert and your in your pedialyte
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: and make sure that you make it through the first
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: three swings and then we'll be good.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: Whatever team you sign with when you sign In spring training,
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: we're doing a spring training tour and I'm going to
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: almost every camp. We'll just do it on a backfield
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: after before the show or after the show. We'll get
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: someone out there to chuck us some balls.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: All.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: It would be better if you if you came out
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: like Johnny Knoxville, like the grandpa and just looked really
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: old and nobody knew like.
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: That was you, and then you did it, they'd be like,
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: oh that makes sense.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: Those rollovers and top spinners into the stands. Then they'd
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: be like okay. But if you come out like normal,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: they be like, wow, this is not good. Look, this
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: is this is sad for him.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm, okay, okay, to deal, you guys could have the.
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: Last seven years, I got more homers. Just want you

  Speaker 7: in the foul territory.
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: You know what they actually did. I'm not gonna lie.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: They did it in low a and we hit from
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: center field so we can hit into the stands. Now
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: that I remember it, and I did not do good.
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: That's exactly what you do. You guys will hit on
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: the half field at my training complex.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, my teammate won that, Ryan m Ryan McBroom.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: He won that one. That's pretty cool.
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: Mc boom. Yeah, what a name he's now selling. I'm
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: not sure what he's selling, but he's he's doing his thing.
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: He went over to Career Japan for a little But
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: my question, you were in two clubhouses, one clubhouse Seattle,
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: Marin News. You had Big Dumper, you had JP Crawf
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: or you had Julio Rodriguez and you were in the
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: Rangers clubhouse. We've heard stories that the Rangers clubhouse was
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: a little just like everybody like did their own thing
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: and then the game happened and then they all came together.
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: Did you see that in the two and did you
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: see differences in the two clubhouses.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: Honestly, I didn't see it a ton. I I'm kind
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: of like a social butterfly. I talked to everybody, hung
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: out with everybody, played cards with everybody.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: I didn't.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: I didn't see a ton of that. So I was
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: just I'm kind of neutral when it comes to everything.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: People could say a lot of things about clubhouses.
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: I'm like, I don't know, I didn't see it. I
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: don't pay attention.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: I'm just out there trying to beat jocking cards and
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: take Marcus's money.
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: So that was.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: It makes sense, makes sense.
