Speaker 1: It has to be a critical part of this success.
0:03
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right that, when right, this is arguably the
0:06
Speaker 1: best bullpen in baseball.
0:14
Speaker 2: Kyle Glazer, big information here. We're talking about laser and
0:18
Speaker 2: we're talking about shaving. So there you have it. Welcome,
0:22
Speaker 2: my friend. What a segue, right, Kyle Glazer. You can
0:25
Speaker 2: check them on Twitter, on x on. Kyle A. Glazer
0:28
Speaker 2: does a tremendous job covering all of baseball. But he's
0:30
Speaker 2: also one of the co hosts of Friar Territory. Check
0:33
Speaker 2: out their new episode that just dropped yesterday. They discussed
0:36
Speaker 2: a lot of things. Let's talk about the comeback kids
0:38
Speaker 2: for a second. The Padre is right there. Of course,
0:41
Speaker 2: in the division, they've had four comeback wins in their
0:44
Speaker 2: last five games, kind of the cardiac kids. What do
0:47
Speaker 2: you make of it?
0:49
Speaker 1: The Potters have shown the ability to come back throughout
0:51
Speaker 1: this year. You mentioned four comeback wins in a five
0:54
Speaker 1: game stretch. They have fourteen come from behind wins this
0:57
Speaker 1: year already.
0:58
Speaker 3: When the Potters are right.
1:00
Speaker 1: Their formula is simple. The starting pitching and the bullpen
1:03
Speaker 1: hold the fort down, make sure the deficit never gets
1:06
Speaker 1: too large, and the offense over the course of the game,
1:09
Speaker 1: just consistently puts that pressure on defense, is consistently puts
1:12
Speaker 1: balls in play, steals bases, goes first to third, makes
1:15
Speaker 1: aggressive reads in the dirt, and normally, over the course
1:18
Speaker 1: of time, the defense will falter, the pressure will get
1:21
Speaker 1: to them, and the Padres kick the door down and
1:23
Speaker 1: bust through. Now that's what's been their formula for success
1:26
Speaker 1: when they're right. They've also had some stretches recently where
1:29
Speaker 1: they haven't been right, where they've gotten more passive. They've
1:31
Speaker 1: been waiting for something to happen as opposed to making
1:33
Speaker 1: something happen, and more often than not, when that's been
1:36
Speaker 1: the case, they're only scoring one running games zero runs
1:39
Speaker 1: a game. We saw them get shut out back to
1:40
Speaker 1: back games by the Blue Jays. So they're starting to
1:43
Speaker 1: get back to their best selves recently with these most
1:45
Speaker 1: recent series wins against the Marlins and the Braves, and
1:48
Speaker 1: now they've got to keep it up. They have a big,
1:50
Speaker 1: big stretch coming up here with twenty six games in
1:52
Speaker 1: twenty seven days, including fourteen games against the Giants, Dodgers,
1:56
Speaker 1: and Diamondbacks, and what we know is a very very
1:58
Speaker 1: very competitive lay race.
2:01
Speaker 3: Is there a reason for the passiveness. Is there a
2:04
Speaker 3: reason for like, hey, if they're playing all these games, Hey,
2:07
Speaker 3: I want to save my legs, it might be the
2:09
Speaker 3: time to bet against the bet against the Padres. Because
2:15
Speaker 3: has there been like any correlation, Because the beginning of
2:18
Speaker 3: the year, it was like Fernando Tatists was running like
2:20
Speaker 3: his cleats were on fire, and then all of a
2:21
Speaker 3: sudden it was like I'm good, Like I'm totally chill.
2:26
Speaker 1: We definitely saw a little bit. So in Tatisa's case,
2:29
Speaker 1: he tweaked his shoulder stealing a base against the Sacramento
2:32
Speaker 1: A's and after that he has really really slowed down.
2:35
Speaker 1: He has not been stealing bases like he was before.
2:38
Speaker 1: We know Fernando Tatists Junior has had a tough time
2:41
Speaker 1: staying healthy over the course of his career. The only
2:43
Speaker 1: full season he has played in his career was the
2:46
Speaker 1: COVID shortened twenty twenty season, mostly due to injuries and
2:49
Speaker 1: of course his one PD suspension. So he has slowed
2:52
Speaker 1: it down a lot. The Potters in a lot of ways,
2:55
Speaker 1: they just kind of got away from it. We started
2:57
Speaker 1: seeing that passivity from other guys too. Some of it
2:59
Speaker 1: was injury related. Again, Jackson Merrill getting hurt, Luisa Riots
3:02
Speaker 1: getting hurt, Jay Cronworth getting hurt. They really didn't want
3:05
Speaker 1: to risk anything. Now those guys are all back. It
3:07
Speaker 1: took them a little while to get back to that
3:10
Speaker 1: aggressive style of baseball they were playing again. We saw
3:13
Speaker 1: it in spurts, but not consistently. It's really since the
3:16
Speaker 1: start of their last series against the Braves that they've
3:18
Speaker 1: started doing the same things they were doing earlier in
3:20
Speaker 1: the year, and we're seeing success because of it. They've
3:23
Speaker 1: won their last two series, which again doesn't seem like
3:26
Speaker 1: a whole lot, but given how much they were struggling
3:28
Speaker 1: prior to that, it's a win.
3:33
Speaker 4: Kyle, what about the bullpen? I mean the bullpen? Is
3:36
Speaker 4: it coming back into form when they struggle? The bullpen
3:40
Speaker 4: was struggling also from the back end all the way
3:43
Speaker 4: Jason Adam and some of the other guys are really
3:44
Speaker 4: having some rough goes. But now they've kind of got
3:46
Speaker 4: it back together. Is that what has to lead this
3:48
Speaker 4: Padres team pitching wise?
3:51
Speaker 1: It has to be a critical part of their success.
3:53
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right that. When right, this is arguably the
3:56
Speaker 1: best bullpen in baseball. The Padreys relinquished to lead just
3:59
Speaker 1: one in their first thirty four games, and then they
4:03
Speaker 1: hit a wall. They blew leads in four of their
4:05
Speaker 1: next seven games, and since then it's been a little uneven.
4:08
Speaker 1: You mentioned it looked like they were getting back to form.
4:10
Speaker 1: We saw that was the case Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
4:13
Speaker 1: This bullpen through twelve and a third consecutive scoreless innings,
4:17
Speaker 1: all close games where the Patters needed the bullpen to
4:19
Speaker 1: throw up those zeros in order to win. And then
4:22
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Marlins, the bullpen completely imploded. The Patterys
4:25
Speaker 1: had leads of six to one and eight seven that
4:27
Speaker 1: they were not able to hold. Jason Adam had a
4:30
Speaker 1: rough outing yesterday, Wandy Peralta gave up the go ahead hit.
4:32
Speaker 1: So we've seen this bullpen be better recently and look
4:36
Speaker 1: a little more like what they were early in the season.
4:38
Speaker 1: But again it's a little bit two steps forward, one
4:41
Speaker 1: step back, as we saw yesterday in the afternoon matinee
4:43
Speaker 1: against the Marlins.
4:45
Speaker 3: Okay, is this a direct correlation to the fact that
4:50
Speaker 3: they have Randy Vasquez making starts, Michael King might be
4:53
Speaker 3: on the shelf, and Dylan Cees and Nick Pavetta, essentially
4:58
Speaker 3: your two starters that are supposed to hold this team down.
5:03
Speaker 3: Needing innings is going to wear out your bullpen.
5:07
Speaker 1: Very very much so right now, Michael King is on
5:10
Speaker 1: the injured list with shoulder inflammation. You Darvish was supposed
5:13
Speaker 1: to be back by now. He made a rehab start
5:15
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, reported feeling some elbow tightness and elbow sortiness.
5:19
Speaker 1: After that rehab start, came back to San Diego, played
5:22
Speaker 1: catch on Monday, but still has no timetable to return.
5:26
Speaker 1: And look, Randy Vasquez has done an admirable job. He's
5:28
Speaker 1: been pitching into the sixth fairly consistently. But at the
5:31
Speaker 1: end of the day, there's no question the Pottery has
5:33
Speaker 1: really really rode their core four of Jeremiah Strada, Audre
5:37
Speaker 1: and Morihane, Robert Swarez and Jason Adam Hard. At one
5:40
Speaker 1: point they were all on pace for eighty appearances this season.
5:43
Speaker 1: They stepped it back a little bit have been giving
5:45
Speaker 1: more opportunities to some other guys Alec Jacob Yuki, matsuiy
5:49
Speaker 1: Wandi Peralta, but those guys just aren't as effective, So
5:52
Speaker 1: the Potters are still trying to find the right mix
5:54
Speaker 1: of bridge guys. So they don't wear down their big
5:56
Speaker 1: four relievers. Brian Hoeing should come off the al soon.
5:59
Speaker 1: We saw Sean Reynolds pitch well the other day. So
6:02
Speaker 1: they're still trying to find those other guys because Wandy
6:04
Speaker 1: Peralta keeps blowing leads and Alec Jacob gave up fifteen
6:07
Speaker 1: runs and eight in the third innings. Had to send
6:09
Speaker 1: him down. So that's a very very big concern and
6:12
Speaker 1: something the Potters are aware of. They just haven't been
6:14
Speaker 1: able to find the solution for it yet.
6:16
Speaker 2: Luis sur Rise, Kyle game tying and go ahead RBI
6:20
Speaker 2: singles to lift the Potters over his former club, the Marlins.
6:23
Speaker 2: He's killing the Marlins. I don't know. They should have
6:25
Speaker 2: probably never traded him. I mean he's batten three sixty
6:28
Speaker 2: four against them since they traded him to the Friars.
6:31
Speaker 2: I mean he's been as good as advertiser. Obviously, he
6:33
Speaker 2: has batting titles in both of the leagues. Not a
6:37
Speaker 2: massive home run hitter, but man he gets on base.
6:40
Speaker 2: Where do you think the Patres would be without him?
6:42
Speaker 4: This year a.
6:44
Speaker 1: Much much mussworts team, and I would say the same
6:46
Speaker 1: thing for last year. He has been a critical component
6:48
Speaker 1: of this Potterys lineup since arriving in San Diego. Just
6:51
Speaker 1: that ability to consistently put the ball in play, spray
6:54
Speaker 1: singles all over the field. He frustrates opposing pitchers, and
6:58
Speaker 1: he also makes sure that Fernando tatties Junie He's better
7:00
Speaker 1: pitches in front of him. When a Luisa Rise is
7:03
Speaker 1: in this lineup, it completely changes the dynamic we saw
7:06
Speaker 1: after that scary collision in Houston when he got hurt.
7:08
Speaker 1: The Potteris didn't really have a great hitter in the
7:11
Speaker 1: number two spot and their entire offense suffered because of it.
7:14
Speaker 1: Machado and Tatis started something a little bit. When Luis
7:17
Speaker 1: a Rise is in this lineup, it completely transforms how
7:20
Speaker 1: pitchers have to game plan, how pitchers have to approach
7:22
Speaker 1: this team in a lot of ways. Luis a Riaz,
7:25
Speaker 1: that trade has been the heist of the last year
7:27
Speaker 1: when you consider the Potter's got him for No. Top
7:30
Speaker 1: one hundred prospects and got the Marlins to pay his
7:32
Speaker 1: entire salary last year and take on Wusuck Goh's salary,
7:36
Speaker 1: and Wusuck go was quickly defaded. This really was a
7:39
Speaker 1: master stroke by aj Preller and Luis A Riaz keeps
7:42
Speaker 1: reminding the Marlins every time he plays them that they
7:44
Speaker 1: really did not fully appreciate him. I should say, at
7:47
Speaker 1: least the new front office led by Peter Bendix did
7:49
Speaker 1: not fully appreciate his skill set.
7:53
Speaker 5: Ft FAM, you might have a boring, old, krusty, unpretty
7:58
Speaker 5: razor and it might be expensive, so aj should they
8:02
Speaker 5: consider another option?
8:04
Speaker 4: Look how cool this is? Look at the color scheme,
8:07
Speaker 4: Look at it little sheath, what hide the blades when
8:10
Speaker 4: you travel? Works great? I mean using this for a
8:12
Speaker 4: couple of weeks now on Harry's Clean, no bumps, no cuts,
8:18
Speaker 4: works great. And you know the best part, it's a
8:20
Speaker 4: great price, especially if you use the foul territory code Scott.
8:23
Speaker 5: That's right, Harry's dot com slash foul.
8:26
Speaker 3: Guess what.
8:27
Speaker 5: You can also get yourself a no risk trial, So
8:30
Speaker 5: if you don't like your shave, no worries. It's on Harry's.
8:34
Speaker 5: They're not worried about it. Get the edge on your
8:37
Speaker 5: shave with Harry's. Normally the trial set is ten dollars,
8:41
Speaker 5: but right now you can get it for just six
8:45
Speaker 5: dollars at Harry's dot com slash foul. Use the exclusive
8:48
Speaker 5: link Harry's dot Com slash foul for a six dollars
8:51
Speaker 5: trial set.
8:53
Speaker 4: By the way, they don't appreciate anything, So I mean
8:57
Speaker 4: saying that that's funny, Kyle, but like they really didn't
8:59
Speaker 4: appreciate much. I mean except for getting rid of everybody
9:01
Speaker 4: and starting over and trying to reinvent the wheel. But
9:04
Speaker 4: other than that, are you worried about their schedule coming up? Though?
9:06
Speaker 4: Are you worried about the Padres schedule coming because it
9:09
Speaker 4: gets it's starting. It's about to get real for about
9:11
Speaker 4: the next twenty five games or so. It's a real schedule.
9:15
Speaker 3: No question.
9:16
Speaker 1: Twenty six games in twenty seven days, as I mentioned,
9:18
Speaker 1: fourteen games against the Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks. They have
9:23
Speaker 1: not played the Dodgers yet this season, so that'll be
9:25
Speaker 1: a fun, fun, fun matchup against them. But there's no
9:28
Speaker 1: question they're going into that stretch down, Michael King down,
9:32
Speaker 1: you darvish with the bullpen. Maybe a little shakier, more
9:35
Speaker 1: inconsistent than you would like it to be. But what
9:37
Speaker 1: we have seen from this Padres team historically and to
9:39
Speaker 1: a degree this year, this is a team that tends
9:42
Speaker 1: to play up to their level of competition and sometimes
9:44
Speaker 1: they play down for the level of competition, so especially
9:47
Speaker 1: if against the Dodgers, they always seem to get up
9:49
Speaker 1: for that series. They swept the Giants when they face
9:52
Speaker 1: them earlier this year in a two game set at
9:53
Speaker 1: Peco Park, So we'll see which version of the Padres
9:56
Speaker 1: show up. But look, we know this team when they're right,
9:59
Speaker 1: when healthy, they can play with anyone, and they love, love,
10:03
Speaker 1: love these primetime big game matchups. They get up for them.
10:06
Speaker 1: So I think they'll certainly be competitive, but there's no
10:09
Speaker 1: question they're not going into it at full strength. They
10:11
Speaker 1: really really could use Michael King and new Darvish coming
10:13
Speaker 1: back sooner rather than later.
10:16
Speaker 2: Kyle, before we let you go. Aj Priller is not
10:19
Speaker 2: afraid of making moves. He and I think Mary to
10:22
Speaker 2: Poto have like a wild wild West thing where they
10:25
Speaker 2: meet each other to see who can do the most.
10:27
Speaker 2: What are the biggest needs if the trade deadline was tomorrow,
10:30
Speaker 2: what are the biggest needs that you see for the
10:32
Speaker 2: Friars left field?
10:34
Speaker 1: The Potters right now have gotten some of the worst
10:36
Speaker 1: production from left field in all of Major League Baseball.
10:39
Speaker 1: They signed Jason Hayward and Connor Joe with the idea
10:42
Speaker 1: that they would be platooning. They've already traded Connor Joe.
10:45
Speaker 1: Jason Hayward really struggled, was recently placed on the il.
10:48
Speaker 1: Gavin Sheets, who has been one of the surprises of
10:50
Speaker 1: the season, has eleven home runs, a lot of them
10:52
Speaker 1: in big, big, big spots. He has moved out to
10:55
Speaker 1: left field from DH and that's made things a little
10:57
Speaker 1: bit better offensively. Defensive, he's a little shakey out there,
11:01
Speaker 1: So the Potterys would really really like to shore up
11:03
Speaker 1: left field. And look, they could use another starter as
11:06
Speaker 1: much as when everyone is healthy you can go Darvish
11:08
Speaker 1: King sees Paveta, you feel really good about that front
11:11
Speaker 1: four you. Darvis has struggled to stay healthy and again
11:14
Speaker 1: this most recent setback is a little bit of a concern.
11:16
Speaker 1: He has no time table to return. When you talk
11:19
Speaker 1: about Michael King and starting pitchers with shoulder injuries, shoulders,
11:22
Speaker 1: we are always a little bit scaries. So they would
11:24
Speaker 1: certainly like to fortify the rotation a little bit. But
11:26
Speaker 1: left field is their number one need and they would
11:28
Speaker 1: certainly do well to shore that up sooner rather than later.
11:33
Speaker 2: All right, guys, Royals are picking things up. The Kansas
11:36
Speaker 2: City Rails confirmed on Wednesday that an affiliate purchased the
11:39
Speaker 2: mortgage on the Aspiria Campus in over a Land Park.
11:42
Speaker 2: So not picking up packing up, I meant to say,
11:46
Speaker 2: do you legitimately think that the Kansas City Royals will
11:49
Speaker 2: be leaving Kaufman Stadium AJ Piersinski a place that you've
11:52
Speaker 2: played a lot at, obviously being in that division. Are
11:56
Speaker 2: they moving Do you think?
11:58
Speaker 4: Not anytime soon? But they will eventually. They need to.
12:02
Speaker 4: They need to move. It's it's old. It's still great though.
12:07
Speaker 4: I still love going there. I still love the coffin.
12:10
Speaker 4: Problem is there's nothing around it right, There's absolutely nothing.
12:15
Speaker 4: There's one hotel in the middle of nowhere, and everyone
12:17
Speaker 4: stays in the city. So they want to move it
12:19
Speaker 4: in the city and do a thing like a battery,
12:21
Speaker 4: like a braves like all that. So I have no
12:23
Speaker 4: problem with this. They eventually everyone's gonna have to move.
12:25
Speaker 4: The Chiefs won a new stadium too, so I mean, listen,
12:28
Speaker 4: figure it out, Kansas City.
12:30
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are winning. Though the Chiefs have won multiple
12:33
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, the.
12:35
Speaker 4: Royals won not long ago. The Royals were in the
12:37
Speaker 4: playoffs last year. The Royals have Bobby Wood Junior, so
12:40
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I don't know. I think I think
12:43
Speaker 4: if you can move it somewhere downtown by the power
12:45
Speaker 4: and light, by the plaza, there's some really nice areas
12:48
Speaker 4: in downtown Kansas.
12:49
Speaker 2: I just don't know if they could. I don't know
12:50
Speaker 2: if they could fit it down there. I mean, I
12:52
Speaker 2: don't know where Overland Park, Kansas is, but.
12:55
Speaker 4: It's over the order because Kansas not not Missouri.
13:00
Speaker 3: Park, and it is a more more of like a community,
13:04
Speaker 3: like obviously it's to me, it's it's what would be
13:08
Speaker 3: what I would consider a Midwest city, like not a
13:11
Speaker 3: lot of high rises. There's a lot of communities that
13:14
Speaker 3: were popping up ten years ago when I was there.
13:17
Speaker 3: We went back and visited in I think nineteen, we
13:22
Speaker 3: visited out there, like it's it's a cool area. It's bustling,
13:27
Speaker 3: but it's more like suburbs. But they have all the
13:31
Speaker 3: festivities of a city without the crampedness of downtown. The
13:35
Speaker 3: power and light is is awesome, but I don't think
13:39
Speaker 3: that's obviously I don't know, but lawmakers are really don't
13:45
Speaker 3: want them in certain areas. And one of the one
13:47
Speaker 3: of the mayors maybe was an ex player, was one
13:51
Speaker 3: of the guys from the original you know, original World
13:54
Speaker 3: Series Champion Royals and he vetoed the bill to go
13:59
Speaker 3: somewhere else. So there's a lot going on, as any stadium,
14:03
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot going on, but you can't
14:05
Speaker 3: rebuild in the same area because there's just no residual
14:09
Speaker 3: income to make a small market team a large market team,
14:13
Speaker 3: like a team that you know has a battery or
14:16
Speaker 3: has all the stuff around it, and Overland Park would
14:18
Speaker 3: be sick.
14:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, Overland Park insider Eric Kratz reporting live, I have
14:23
Speaker 2: to ask you this though, Aj, it seems like the
14:26
Speaker 2: Royals ownership group perhaps is listening to the fans. It
14:28
Speaker 2: seems like fans would be pretty psyched if they got
14:30
Speaker 2: off of you know I seventy and move someplace where
14:34
Speaker 2: there is some services around. I mean, unlike some other
14:37
Speaker 2: ownership groups. Maybe they're actually paying attention.
14:40
Speaker 4: They are listen.
14:41
Speaker 3: This is this.
14:42
Speaker 4: Wasn't this one of the reasons why they signed Bobby
14:43
Speaker 4: Wood Junior. Isn't this one of the reasons why when
14:46
Speaker 4: they signed them, They're like, because they want a new stadium.
14:47
Speaker 4: Remember we all thought they had a stadium deal done
14:50
Speaker 4: when they when they did this, Remember there was all
14:52
Speaker 4: the drawings and all the renderings, which is more than
14:54
Speaker 4: we can say for some other teams that are supposed
14:56
Speaker 4: to be moving a lot sooner. So I want I
14:58
Speaker 4: want the Royals to move. I think the Royals fan
15:01
Speaker 4: base is one of the best, and when they win, man,
15:04
Speaker 4: even when they don't win, there's a lot of people
15:05
Speaker 4: at those games in Kansas City in the middle of
15:08
Speaker 4: summer when it's four hundred and seventy two degrees and
15:10
Speaker 4: I'm watching dudes, I play with shrink up because it's
15:12
Speaker 4: so dang hot, Like, I want this for the fans.
15:16

15:25
Speaker 2: Nope, Nope, it's the City of Fountains. There are more
15:30

15:32
Speaker 2: part of the country.

15:46
Speaker 2: still looking for a new ownership group. Apparently they're making progress,
15:49
Speaker 2: guys on the sale of the cub of the club.
15:53
Speaker 2: The pole adds, sticking to one point seven billion dollars.
15:56
Speaker 3: Now.
15:56
Speaker 2: Back in twenty fourteen, I think it was the Dodgers
15:59
Speaker 2: sold for two billion, the Twins making progress one point
16:03
Speaker 2: seven billion in terms of sources. A reboot of the
16:06
Speaker 2: sales process moved on finally as yielding potential buyers for
16:10
Speaker 2: the Twins. While there's been progress, those potential candidates have
16:14
Speaker 2: several concerns about the one point seven billion dollar price tag.
16:18
Speaker 2: That's a lot of money for the Twins, so much
16:20
Speaker 2: for mid market team.
16:24
Speaker 3: Yeah there, but why would they not like they're worth
16:27
Speaker 3: one point supposedly they're worth one point five to one
16:30
Speaker 3: point seven. Yeah, I forget that's two hundred million dollars, Like,
16:34
Speaker 3: don't don't, don't demean the point two that they'd like
16:38
Speaker 3: to get. It's like anything you go to sell something,
16:40
Speaker 3: you're not like, I'm going to price it at the lowest.
16:43
Speaker 3: They're looking on they're looking on car Gurus and they're going, yeah,
16:47
Speaker 3: you know what, my my car is worth this much.
16:51
Speaker 3: It's like, well, i'd take a little bit less. Of course,
16:53
Speaker 3: they would keep your price, and all the owner all
16:56
Speaker 3: the other owners are like, yeah, get your high end price.
16:59
Speaker 3: Because with the way you've run that this team. We
17:02
Speaker 3: know our team is gonna be worth way more.
17:04
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? They were purchased in nineteen eighty four
17:07
Speaker 2: from Calvin Griffith, that's who sold the club to Carl
17:12
Speaker 2: Pohlad in forty four million. You guys in nineteen eighty four.
17:16
Speaker 2: Let's just say they split the difference and get one
17:19
Speaker 2: point six billion. Don't tell me these owners don't have
17:23
Speaker 2: money to spend on their teams. I'm not saying that
17:26
Speaker 2: that that the twins aren't spending. What I'm saying is
17:28
Speaker 2: you have the money.
17:30
Speaker 4: By the way, the Griffith family is I know with
17:32
Speaker 4: the family. They some of their family members live in Orlando,
17:35
Speaker 4: their friends of mine that I grew up with. And yeah,
17:38
Speaker 4: they made a bad decision to sell, and they did
17:39
Speaker 4: because let's not forget they also won World Series right
17:42
Speaker 4: after they sold, So yeah, they have family. The poor
17:46
Speaker 4: Griffith family. No, I don't know if they have two
17:49
Speaker 4: hundred million, but they're not poor. But it's just kind
17:52
Speaker 4: of funny. I don't know. I mean, yeah, it's what
17:56
Speaker 4: krat said though. If you can get Listen price it
17:58
Speaker 4: at two billion, maybe someone's dumb enough to come in
17:59
Speaker 4: and get you a two billion. I don't know why not.
18:02
Speaker 3: I don't know.

Speaker 4: always say with houses, like your house is worth what
18:07
Speaker 4: someone offers you is a free agent, You're worth what
18:09
