Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Jared crabbis perfect timing and you can hear him, of
- 0:06Speaker 1: course on his underdog pods and everywhere else you can
- 0:09Speaker 1: follow him one of the best follows in baseball at
- 0:11Speaker 1: Jared underscore crabas.
- 0:13Speaker 2: But really, Jared, we nailed it on timing with you.
- 0:15Speaker 1: So your instant reaction to the Roman era continuing now
- 0:21Speaker 1: for a very long time for a very team friendly
- 0:24Speaker 1: looking deal, what do you think?
- 0:26Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I was surprised by it. I didn't hear
- 0:29Speaker 3: any little birdies talking about this one. This kind of
- 0:32Speaker 3: came out of nowhere. I think out of all the
- 0:35Speaker 3: big three prospects, Roman was expected to be the most
- 0:38Speaker 3: difficult to sign. They already signed Christian Campbell coming into
- 0:41Speaker 3: the year. Marcello Meyer kind of looks like someone where
- 0:44Speaker 3: it's like, there's some injury concerns here. So out of
- 0:46Speaker 3: the guys that you would want to give the bag too,
- 0:49Speaker 3: hell of a job by Craig Breslo, And I heard
- 0:51Speaker 3: you guys talking about the deal before one hundred and
- 0:53Speaker 3: thirty million, It's like, could he have made more if
- 0:56Speaker 3: he had waited to free agency?
- 0:57Speaker 4: Absolutely?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Is he going to be struggling to find Actually, no,
- 1:00Speaker 3: he's going to be just fine, like it's it's the
- 1:02Speaker 3: biggest pre armed deal in baseball history. So yeah, they
- 1:06Speaker 3: identified the player, they said this is who we're going
- 1:08Speaker 3: to commit to, and they paid the player.
- 1:11Speaker 4: Like it couldn't have worked out better.
- 1:13Speaker 5: Jared, when you were twenty one years old, if Carabas
- 1:16Speaker 5: would have come to you and said change your name
- 1:17Speaker 5: from Carabas to Carabas, would you have done it for
- 1:21Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty million and for eight years? Would
- 1:23Speaker 5: you have done that?
- 1:24Speaker 4: I would have done it for one hundred and thirty bucks. Aj.
- 1:26Speaker 4: I would have been like, thank you, thank you, thank you.
- 1:29Speaker 4: So yeah.
- 1:29Speaker 5: So for all the people out there complaining, there's nobody
- 1:32Speaker 5: on earth that would have said no to this deal
- 1:33Speaker 5: at twenty one years old, you can't say no to this.
- 1:36Speaker 5: I am sorry. I don't care who you are. It's
- 1:38Speaker 5: a great deal for the Red Sox. It's a great
- 1:40Speaker 5: deal for Roman Anthony and now, Jared, as you've been saying,
- 1:43Speaker 5: you have the Roman Empire.
- 1:45Speaker 3: No doubt, and I think that's a big piece of it.
- 1:48Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up. Is that it's exciting
- 1:51Speaker 3: that the players are seeing what the future can look like.
- 1:54Speaker 3: And I know that you know, at the end of
- 1:56Speaker 3: the day, you can buy someone's friendship for five hundred
- 1:58Speaker 3: million dollars. I'm sure it's up for drabs, But I
- 2:01Speaker 3: think Roman's sort of looking around saying, I see the vision,
- 2:05Speaker 3: I see that I'm the piece of this. I'm looking
- 2:07Speaker 3: around and it's a very young team. A lot of
- 2:09Speaker 3: the guys are locked up long term, and it's you know,
- 2:13Speaker 3: what do you want your legacy to be? Do you
- 2:15Speaker 3: want to be the guy that makes five hundred million dollars?
- 2:18Speaker 4: Cool?
- 2:18Speaker 3: Now that that's great and it's a huge accomplishment, But
- 2:20Speaker 3: do you also want to be the guy that builds
- 2:22Speaker 3: something special and is a cornerstone of a cores A
- 2:25Speaker 3: championship corps. That sounds pretty cool to me too, all
- 2:28Speaker 3: while having over one hundred million dollars, Like, yeah, I'm
- 2:31Speaker 3: signing up for that.
- 2:32Speaker 4: What has impressed you the most of Roman so far?
- 2:34Speaker 2: Early on?
- 2:35Speaker 4: I think is it is plate discipline? Is it like
- 2:37Speaker 4: he kind of has.
- 2:38Speaker 3: That almost feel in the box already to where he's
- 2:42Speaker 3: just not swinging at bad pitches and he kind of
- 2:43Speaker 3: makes a picture come at him.
- 2:45Speaker 2: What's impressed you so far the most?
- 2:47Speaker 3: Also, before I answer that, shout out April. Third birthday
- 2:50Speaker 3: boys in the house.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm man. Yeah, both both ample third birthday boys.
- 2:56Speaker 3: What's impressed me most is the kid turned twenty one
- 3:00Speaker 3: year and I got to meet him when he was
- 3:02Speaker 3: in Double A, talked to him again in person when
- 3:04Speaker 3: he was in Triple A, and I've checked in a
- 3:07Speaker 3: few times now he's in the big leagues. Same dude, like,
- 3:10Speaker 3: not overwhelmed. He had a walk off the other night
- 3:14Speaker 3: and moment wasn't too big for him. He was like,
- 3:16Speaker 3: I'd like to do that again, you know, like I
- 3:19Speaker 3: want the guy that has labeled a superstar, that wants
- 3:23Speaker 3: the big moment. And you know I didn't play in
- 3:25Speaker 3: the big leagues. I'm sure you guys can speak to this.
- 3:28Speaker 3: There are guys that don't want to be up in
- 3:29Speaker 3: that spot like I get the spotlight. No, no, I'm
- 3:32Speaker 3: all set with that. He wants the spotlight, he wants
- 3:34Speaker 3: the big market.
- 3:36Speaker 4: His approach. I think even when even when.
- 3:40Speaker 3: He started off a little slow, he never abandoned the
- 3:43Speaker 3: approach that got him there.
- 3:45Speaker 4: He stuck with it.
- 3:46Speaker 3: All the numbers under the hood were suggesting like the
- 3:49Speaker 3: Baseball Savant page was pretty bloody.
- 3:51Speaker 4: A lot of red on that page.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Even when the surface level numbers weren't looking good, he
- 3:55Speaker 3: stuck with the approach that got him there. He wrote
- 3:58Speaker 3: it out and now like the surface level numbers, like, yeah,
- 4:01Speaker 3: that's a dude that I want here long term.
- 4:03Speaker 5: Jared, all right, First of all, you were a heavy
- 4:05Speaker 5: critic of the DEVAS trade. How does it look now?
- 4:08Speaker 5: And we are including us, were heavy critics of Craig
- 4:11Speaker 5: Breslo at the trade deadline not doing a lot? How
- 4:14Speaker 5: does that look now? Have you changed your mind on
- 4:16Speaker 5: both those things?
- 4:18Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 4:18Speaker 3: I don't think you or I AJ would ever sit
- 4:20Speaker 3: here and be like we're smart people, you know, like
- 4:22Speaker 3: we make smart sometimes.
- 4:24Speaker 5: I make a lot of mistakes, but I'm still smart.
- 4:26Speaker 5: I'm a smart ass and I'm smart.
- 4:29Speaker 3: I think when with the DEVS trade, I approached that
- 4:33Speaker 3: as what would the room feel about this? And I
- 4:36Speaker 3: was just off, Like I I thought for sure that
- 4:39Speaker 3: the room was going to be pissed. We just swept
- 4:41Speaker 3: the New York Yankees and you traded the best hitter
- 4:44Speaker 3: in our lineup, Like what the hell? So I was
- 4:47Speaker 3: pissed too, But then you sort of ask around, You
- 4:50Speaker 3: talk to people as part of the job. You get
- 4:53Speaker 3: the full context and you come back down the earth
- 4:55Speaker 3: and it's like, if they're not up in arms about
- 4:57Speaker 3: this and they're not.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Upset about this, why am I upset about this?
- 5:00Speaker 3: So it was a quick eighteen hour window where you're
- 5:04Speaker 3: piecing together what the information that you need to have
- 5:06Speaker 3: the correct stance on it. And yeah, I was fired
- 5:09Speaker 3: up at first, but then it didn't take long for
- 5:11Speaker 3: me to be like, all right, if you're not mad,
- 5:13Speaker 3: I'm not mad.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Let's move on. Like, let's move on with the group
- 5:15Speaker 4: we got.
- 5:17Speaker 1: It's summertime, it's bathing suit time, and it's time to
- 5:20Speaker 1: get a better bathing suit liner. It's twenty twenty five crats.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I would like to feel more comfortable, and I would
- 5:25Speaker 1: like to thank Fair Harbor for doing that.
- 5:28Speaker 5: It's super easy. Get the Fair Harbor breezon It liner
- 5:31Speaker 5: in your shorts. You can go play football on the beach,
- 5:34Speaker 5: you can play paddle ball, and you don't got to
- 5:37Speaker 5: worry about that crappy liner that other bathing suits have.
- 5:41Speaker 2: H It is so comfortable. You gotta check it out.
- 5:44Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
- 5:46Speaker 1: It's like, but but a baby, you gotta check out
- 5:48Speaker 1: the Fair Harbor not only bathing suits, but they carry
- 5:52Speaker 1: a full line of casual clothing, shorts, shirts, hoodies. Go
- 5:56Speaker 1: to the website Fairharbor Clothing dot com, slash foul and
- 6:00Speaker 1: use code foul for twenty percent off your first purchase.
- 6:03Speaker 1: That's fair ha r bo r clothing dot com backslash
- 6:09Speaker 1: foul for twenty percent off your first purchase, and make
- 6:12Speaker 1: sure that you use the ft promo code so that
- 6:15Speaker 1: they know we sent you and you get the discount.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Foul Jared, what about the trade deadline for this team?
- 6:21Speaker 1: Because I was not pleased with it. I'm not a
- 6:24Speaker 1: Red Sox fan. I just talk about the game nationally.
- 6:27Speaker 1: And if you think the team's good, then the best
- 6:30Speaker 1: way to show that you're buying into the team is
- 6:32Speaker 1: to pick up something that can be valuable in October,
- 6:35Speaker 1: even if you think you can get there right. And lately,
- 6:37Speaker 1: I've had some Red Sox fans really coming after me
- 6:40Speaker 1: on YouTube saying you just hate them, you're rooting against them.
- 6:43Speaker 5: No.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I actually picked them to win the division. But do
- 6:46Speaker 2: I think that they have the October pitching staff to
- 6:49Speaker 2: match up against some of what the other teams did?
- 6:51Speaker 6: I do not.
- 6:52Speaker 2: That's just real talk. What do you think.
- 6:56Speaker 3: So as it kind of relates to the trade deadline.
- 6:59Speaker 3: I gave in f you know, like you.
- 7:02Speaker 4: You were all in on Joe Ryan. You didn't get
- 7:04Speaker 4: Joe Ryan.
- 7:05Speaker 3: But the same similar to the Dever situation, you need
- 7:08Speaker 3: the full context what happened. I look at it two ways.
- 7:13Speaker 3: I don't think the Twins had any interest in actually
- 7:15Speaker 3: making the move. I think that they were gauging interests
- 7:17Speaker 3: seeing how far the Red Sox would go.
- 7:19Speaker 4: Would you include Peyton Toley.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I think the Red Sox got to a point where
- 7:22Speaker 3: they said, you tell us, dude, like, you tell us
- 7:25Speaker 3: what you want and we'll make it work, and the
- 7:28Speaker 3: Twins just didn't reciprocate.
- 7:30Speaker 4: That was number one.
- 7:31Speaker 3: The number two part of the context is there's not
- 7:34Speaker 3: a controllable starter that moved at the deadline. Like if
- 7:37Speaker 3: you want to throw JP Sears in there, you could
- 7:39Speaker 3: have up until yesterday, but they just optioned him down
- 7:42Speaker 3: to Triple A yesterday.
- 7:44Speaker 4: So and he wasn't the headline.
- 7:45Speaker 3: All due respect to JP series, I like the player,
- 7:48Speaker 3: but he was not the headliner of the Mason Miller trade.
- 7:51Speaker 4: So no team.
- 7:53Speaker 3: It's entirely I feel much differently about it if someone
- 7:57Speaker 3: else acquired Joe Ryan or someone else got Sandi al
- 8:00Speaker 3: Kintara or a Cabrera from the mall something like that.
- 8:04Speaker 4: No controllable start removed at the deadline.
- 8:06Speaker 3: I still give it an F because I think that
- 8:09Speaker 3: if there's a will, there's away. But it's not as
- 8:13Speaker 3: bad when it's you know, another team didn't swoop in
- 8:15Speaker 3: and get the guy that you were focused on.
- 8:17Speaker 5: No, you're a Red Sox Homer. Dude, you can't use
- 8:20Speaker 5: other teams to justify your madness. Okay, so let's just
- 8:23Speaker 5: say that. Okay, they're the Red Sox. They want to
- 8:25Speaker 5: get a guy. That go get a guy.
- 8:26Speaker 2: But here's my question.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Since the trade deadline, I think the Red Sox are
- 8:29Speaker 5: seven and zero.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Is that right?
- 8:30Speaker 5: Since the trade deadline or around there, they're yeah, ninety
- 8:32Speaker 5: one their last ten so are they? Is it the
- 8:35Speaker 5: Red Sox being good or the Yankees being crappy? Why
- 8:37Speaker 5: the Red Sox have just smashed past the Yankees in
- 8:40Speaker 5: the last ten days.
- 8:42Speaker 4: It's both.
- 8:42Speaker 3: I mean, it's it goes beyond just the seven game
- 8:45Speaker 3: winning streak. They've been one of the best teams at home.
- 8:48Speaker 3: They won sixteen of eighteen at home. I want to
- 8:52Speaker 3: say for the whole year. I think they have the
- 8:54Speaker 3: second best winning percentage at home in the American League,
- 8:56Speaker 3: So I mean that's.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Big part of it is they take care of business
- 8:59Speaker 4: at Fenway.
- 9:00Speaker 3: But yeah, the yank has been awful. That's been really
- 9:02Speaker 3: fun to watch. I mean it's been hard to watch,
- 9:04Speaker 3: is what I said. It's been That makes you happier?
- 9:07Speaker 4: What makes you happier?
- 9:09Speaker 3: I love the Red Sox more than I hate the Yankees,
- 9:11Speaker 3: But I mean it's a nice little like so like
- 9:13Speaker 3: the Red Sox winning is the steak dinner, but the
- 9:17Speaker 3: Yankees always like when they're on Central Time and they
- 9:19Speaker 3: lose after a Red Sox win, that's like the that's
- 9:22Speaker 3: the chocolate cake, that's the espresso martini, that's the you know,
- 9:25Speaker 3: let's cap off a nice dinner with a little treat
- 9:28Speaker 3: at the end.
- 9:30Speaker 2: That's good. I like that. What did you want them
- 9:33Speaker 2: to do?
- 9:33Speaker 6: Though?
- 9:34Speaker 1: If they if they couldn't pull off Joe Ryan, Like,
- 9:36Speaker 1: do you think they could have pulled off a Meryl
- 9:38Speaker 1: Kelly or I know that it was tough to pry
- 9:40Speaker 1: one of these other controllable starters, but even the Shane
- 9:43Speaker 1: Bieber and taking a chance on someone like him, which
- 9:45Speaker 1: the Blue Jays did.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Yeah, Merril Kelly was the guy for me. I think
- 9:51Speaker 3: Joe Ryan was in a tier of his own, and
- 9:53Speaker 3: I think once you start, no disrespect to Meryl Kelly,
- 9:55Speaker 3: I think he's awesome. Like he was the guy that
- 9:56Speaker 3: I wanted if they didn't get Ryan, but he's a rental.
- 9:59Speaker 3: I think the Sox had the pieces to go out
- 10:01Speaker 3: and get a controllable guy. But if no controllable starters moved,
- 10:04Speaker 3: then you look at the rentals and yeah, Melrill.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Kelly was the guy I want. I want a guy
- 10:09Speaker 4: that has.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Postseason experience that can come over and talk to O'Brian
- 10:12Speaker 3: Bao who hasn't been there. He's having a great year
- 10:14Speaker 3: as he's like three zero three coming into today. Crochet
- 10:19Speaker 3: obviously has has no postseason experience coming from the White Sox.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Jilid Yeah, uh, no offense, no offense. You know Gilido,
- 10:27Speaker 3: he he has some postseason experience with the White Sox.
- 10:30Speaker 3: That's there as well. But yeah, that would have been
- 10:32Speaker 3: a nice pickup. Also first base, uh, I can tell
- 10:36Speaker 3: you the Red Sox did try to upgrade at first base,
- 10:40Speaker 3: but the ask was we want big league players in return,
- 10:44Speaker 3: So I don't think that they were trying to make
- 10:46Speaker 3: any big leaguer for big leaguer deals. I think they
- 10:48Speaker 3: were trying to trade from their prospect pool and they
- 10:52Speaker 3: just didn't get something done.
- 10:54Speaker 5: All right, Jared, we got about thirty seconds left, so
- 10:56Speaker 5: take us to break in your Craig Breslow voice. I
- 10:58Speaker 5: hear you have a great one, So take us to
