Cards & Marlins trade decisions + Ross Stripling's trade predictions · Foul Territory

0:00
Speaker 1: Spreading rumors. I mean, we're going to start with a
0:06
Speaker 1: guy that Strip knows well, Dustin May. So the Saint
0:10
Speaker 1: Louis Post Dispatch put in how despite the Cardinals being contention,
0:15
Speaker 1: they're still going to listen on offers for Dustin May.
0:19
Speaker 1: And now he's had a little bit of a slower patch,
0:21
Speaker 1: but man, he's had a good year. And in the
0:24
Speaker 1: article it says by the end of this month, the
0:25
Speaker 1: Cardinals will entertain trade offers for the right. He's on
0:28
Speaker 1: a one year deal with a twenty million dollars mutual option,
0:30
Speaker 1: and for anyone that doesn't know all the mutual option stuff,
0:32
Speaker 1: it doesn't really mean anything. So it's just this year
0:35
Speaker 1: and then he's going to be a free agent again.
0:36
Speaker 1: If he keeps us up, it's going to go well.
0:38
Speaker 1: Maybe that helps him not to get a qualifying offer,
0:41
Speaker 1: so he could be like slightly.
0:43
Speaker 2: Okay with it.
0:44
Speaker 1: But Strip, it sounded like when we spoke to Dustin May,
0:48
Speaker 1: he found a home and a spot where he's comfortable
0:51
Speaker 1: and he's got the flow going. And you can speak
0:54
Speaker 1: to how you don't want to disrupt that.
0:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, really saking on behalf of Dustin May.
1:01
Speaker 3: In that regard, you know, his last few years tenure
1:05
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers after you know, being almost like a
1:07
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year type candidate when he was hurt
1:09
Speaker 3: and then kind of had a hard time getting his footing,
1:12
Speaker 3: and you're right, finds a place in Saint Louis where
1:14
Speaker 3: you know he had a maddox a couple of weeks ago.
1:16
Speaker 2: He's really having a pretty good.
1:18
Speaker 3: Year, and you just you feel for the athlete when
1:22
Speaker 3: you start seeing headlines like this because he's just trying
1:24
Speaker 3: to take the ball every fifth day for a team
1:26
Speaker 3: that's in contention that he's really helped stay in contention
1:29
Speaker 3: by being a very good starter. And all the while,
1:32
Speaker 3: now I'm reading that I'm on the trade block, and
1:35
Speaker 3: you know they're going to field calls on my behalf
1:38
Speaker 3: and it just, you know, it just throws like a
1:39
Speaker 3: little wrinkle in there when you're already trying to get
1:42
Speaker 3: player X Y Z out in the box and big
1:44
Speaker 3: leaders and now I'm thinking about that and had that
1:47
Speaker 3: weight on my shoulders. I feel for Dustin May, but
1:48
Speaker 3: it does kind of go back to what I was
1:50
Speaker 3: asking with Robert Murray earlier, which is like kind of
1:53
Speaker 3: the buy and sell thing at the deadline.
1:54
Speaker 2: Like, if I'm the Cardinals, it probably kind of makes sense.
1:57
Speaker 2: This guy's on a one year deal.
1:58
Speaker 3: He's done a good job for us, but we can
2:00
Speaker 3: flip him for some prospects or for someone that can
2:03
Speaker 3: help me out longer term than the next three months
2:05
Speaker 3: that I have for Dustin May. I'm in a field
2:07
Speaker 3: calls on Dustin May. So I once again I feel
2:09
Speaker 3: like I come here and I always take both sides,
2:11
Speaker 3: and here I am again doing it.
2:12
Speaker 2: I see both sides.
2:13
Speaker 3: It stinks for Dustin May to have to pitch through
2:15
Speaker 3: those rumors, but it's probably smart on behalf of the
2:17
Speaker 3: Saint Louis Cardinals strip.
2:19
Speaker 4: I need you to pick them on inside the fence,
2:20
Speaker 4: all right, We're not sitting on the fence here. This
2:23
Speaker 4: isn't like, that's not how we're gonna play it. But
2:26
Speaker 4: my question is, because you hear all the time people
2:28
Speaker 4: are like, well, if this hitter would walk more, if
2:30
Speaker 4: he would walk more plate discipline, you can't just you
2:33
Speaker 4: can't just be like, oh, well, I'll just not swing
2:35
Speaker 4: at balls anymore. If I'm a guy that's aggressive. Dustin
2:39
Speaker 4: May's whip is down almost a zero point five for
2:43
Speaker 4: the year. I mean point four from his career to
2:46
Speaker 4: this season, and if you take away his best seasons,
2:49
Speaker 4: it's even down more than that. Do you think if
2:52
Speaker 4: he goes somewhere else he's able to keep that or
2:56
Speaker 4: is it, you know, for a pitcher, is that something
2:59
Speaker 4: that's like, hey, you know what, I see this change
3:02
Speaker 4: in him? Because you can't just be like, well, he's
3:04
Speaker 4: really attacking the zone more. He's just throwing more middle middle,
3:07
Speaker 4: like guys have been trying to do that all the
3:09
Speaker 4: time with all the other teams he played with. So
3:11
Speaker 4: do you feel like it's something that he leaves Saint
3:14
Speaker 4: Louis and that's gone, or do you think it's something
3:17
Speaker 4: he can take with it?
3:20
Speaker 3: As quickly as I can answer Cratzy, I think it
3:23
Speaker 3: is something you obviously try and take with you. But
3:25
Speaker 3: when you enter a new organization that a few things happen.
3:29
Speaker 3: Man new coaches and new scheme get their eyes and
3:31
Speaker 3: their thoughts on you, where they now think we can
3:34
Speaker 3: deploy your arsenal this way and we think we can
3:36
Speaker 3: get x amount better from you. That happened to me
3:39
Speaker 3: when I got to the Giants. I had a really
3:40
Speaker 3: good change up and they're like, we're going to actually
3:42
Speaker 3: try the splitter because we think it can actually get
3:43
Speaker 3: a little bit more swing and miss than you're already good.
3:45
Speaker 2: Change up and then I stunk, you know.
3:48
Speaker 3: So it just kind of it depends on how active
3:51
Speaker 3: these new coaches are going to be on trying to
3:53
Speaker 3: change him, and then I would actually say how good
3:56
Speaker 3: his first one, two, three outings go. If they don't
3:58
Speaker 3: go well, a lot of things are going to change,
4:01
Speaker 3: and I think you're going to see some struggles mentally
4:03
Speaker 3: physically from any pitcher right because he's in a new place.
4:06
Speaker 3: He's trying to show why they trade it for him,
4:07
Speaker 3: what he can bring to the table. And if those
4:09
Speaker 3: first ones don't go well, man, the sky's the limit
4:13
Speaker 3: on what can go badly after that. So he's going
4:16
Speaker 3: to try and bring it with them, and then it's
4:17
Speaker 3: going to kind of depend on results after that.
4:19
Speaker 2: I think.
4:20
Speaker 4: Okay, so if he does bad, panic at the disco,
4:23
Speaker 4: trade him before the next there's no trade deadline anymore,
4:26
Speaker 4: so they got him. But my comment on the whole
4:29
Speaker 4: Cardinals thing, I love that they're actually looking to trade
4:34
Speaker 4: him and get value from him. I hate it for
4:37
Speaker 4: Cardinals fans, but I also love if that's the case
4:41
Speaker 4: that I think I'm evaluating the Cardinals the same way
4:45
Speaker 4: that the front office would be valuating him, and people
4:47
Speaker 4: would say, well, you know, you got to get value
4:49
Speaker 4: when you can. The Cardinals are not a small market.
4:51
Speaker 4: They play against small markets besides the Cubs, but they're
4:54
Speaker 4: not a small market. They have I think the fourth
4:57
Speaker 4: richest owner in baseball, and I think if they're trying
5:01
Speaker 4: to find value in this, I think it's Hein Bloom
5:04
Speaker 4: doubling down, tripling down on what he knows will develop
5:07
Speaker 4: this organization. And he's not fooled by what he sees
5:12
Speaker 4: in the record column. Right now. Their team, in my opinion,
5:16
Speaker 4: is not good enough. Their pitching staff is not good
5:19
Speaker 4: enough with or without Dustin May to make a deep
5:22
Speaker 4: run in playoffs, or even make the playoffs in a
5:24
Speaker 4: tough National League.
5:28
Speaker 1: People dehydration sucks. Quint's electrolyte stick packs to the rescue.
5:34
Speaker 1: I order them, I use them all of the time.
5:38
Speaker 5: Somebody who may or may not have had some adult
5:40
Speaker 5: beverages in their life. The next day, you know what flavor,
5:42
Speaker 5: I like watermelon, and I don't like watermelon. I'll go
5:45
Speaker 5: raspberry and it helps me to get my citrus salt in.
5:49
Speaker 5: But if I do, it helps me to get back
5:51
Speaker 5: to normal, feeling good and ready to go the next day.
5:54
Speaker 1: Yep, tough workout or dry them out in the morning.
5:56
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, this is going to help you out.
5:59
Speaker 1: Quint always has the best deals for you. You can
6:01
Speaker 1: go on their website and see a number of products
6:04
Speaker 1: we're talking about, not only a product that tastes great,
6:06
Speaker 1: but has zero sugar options that are also Stevia free.
6:10
Speaker 1: Give your body what it really needs to stay hydrated.

6:20
Speaker 1: in three sixty five day returns quins dot com slash foul.
6:22
Speaker 1: These statements have not been evaluated by the FEUD and
6:24
Speaker 1: Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, street
6:27
Speaker 1: care or prevent any disease. It's just hard. And we're
6:30
Speaker 1: about to talk about the Marlins too, because they're in
6:32
Speaker 1: a similar spot as we're doing this segment. They're actually
6:35
Speaker 1: in the same exact spot. They're matched for the third
6:38
Speaker 1: wildcard position. It's tough, right, and actually they have two
6:41
Speaker 1: different things. The Cardinals, I think have the offense to
6:44
Speaker 1: be able to keep up with just about anyone. For
6:47
Speaker 1: the Marlins, they have close to enough pitching to keep
6:49
Speaker 1: up with people.
6:50
Speaker 3: Right.
6:50
Speaker 1: We can transition to that because in this article it
6:53
Speaker 1: also went over an ESPN report that the Marlins likely
6:56
Speaker 1: won't be buyers of anything big, right, but they probably
7:00
Speaker 1: are going to hold on to Sandy al Contra if
7:02
Speaker 1: this keeps up, and that's big news too.
7:06
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's I think they're in
7:08
Speaker 4: a different spot. We kind of talked about yesterday who's
7:10
Speaker 4: better the Marlins or the White Sox. Today we're talking
7:13
Speaker 4: the Marlins or the Cardinals. Similar records, and I think
7:20
Speaker 4: the Marlins are in a better spot. I think their
7:22
Speaker 4: pitching is something that even if they don't make moves,
7:26
Speaker 4: I still think they're in a good spot because of
7:28
Speaker 4: the fact that their look at all on offense is fine.
7:33
Speaker 4: It's not as good as the Cardinals, but their pitching
7:36
Speaker 4: is gonna give you, is gonna give you fits off
7:40
Speaker 4: so often. They're gonna give you so much of a
7:43
Speaker 4: problem day in and day out of every series, every
7:46
Speaker 4: game of every series, And I just think there's a
7:49
Speaker 4: I think there's a there's a very very stark difference
7:52
Speaker 4: in those two teams.
7:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree, and I think there's something to.
7:59
Speaker 3: Like what this season individually can behold later for those
8:02
Speaker 3: two teams.
8:03
Speaker 2: Right.
8:03
Speaker 3: If Miami makes the playoffs as the third wild card,
8:06
Speaker 3: that is an unbelievably successful season. You know, new manager
8:09
Speaker 3: Clayton McCulla is like, flip that team around. We're in
8:12
Speaker 3: a tough division where everyone talks Phillies and braves on
8:15
Speaker 3: the upside and what's wrong with the Mets and all
8:17
Speaker 3: the while we're just right here doing our thing. We're
8:18
Speaker 3: gonna get in the playoffs. That is an unbelievably successful
8:21
Speaker 3: season for them. Versus if the Cardinals get in as
8:24
Speaker 3: the third wild card. I know, not a lot of
8:26
Speaker 3: expectations this season, but they're still the Saint Louis Cardinals.
8:28
Speaker 2: You know, they got multiple World Series in our lifetime.
8:32
Speaker 3: You know, they're very much on the radar of being
8:33
Speaker 3: like one of the blue chip teams of MLB and
8:36
Speaker 3: they do things the right way, and you know, all
8:38
Speaker 3: that and making the third wild card and kind of
8:40
Speaker 3: sputtering out is not a successful season for the Saint
8:43
Speaker 3: Louis Cardinals. In my eyes, So I think you have
8:46
Speaker 3: to kind of weigh those differences from the front office,
8:48
Speaker 3: where if the Cardinals are like we would probably actually
8:51
Speaker 3: rather kind of sell here, maybe miss the playoffs or
8:54
Speaker 3: slightly make the playoffs, whatever, but like rebuild moving forward,
8:57
Speaker 3: knowing we have to be better than the third wildcard team,
8:59
Speaker 3: and my Iami kind of being like, no, this is great,
9:01
Speaker 3: this is a step in the right direction.
9:02
Speaker 2: Next year we're competing.
9:03
Speaker 3: For the division and we're all the while, you know,
9:06
Speaker 3: taking a run at Milwaukee and the Dodgers kind of thing.
9:08
Speaker 3: So I think it just it's going to be made,
9:10
Speaker 3: you know, by people above our heads, obviously, as it
9:12
Speaker 3: always is.
9:15
Speaker 1: My last point here is when Kratz is I think
9:17
Speaker 1: doing a nice job comparing a team like the White
9:19
Speaker 1: Sox to the Cardinals to the Marlins, right where you
9:21
Speaker 1: don't think they have everything intact to go the distance
9:24
Speaker 1: if they make the playoffs. But the White Sox approach,
9:27
Speaker 1: at least publicly, appears to be that they're not going
9:30
Speaker 1: to sell at all. They're going to lightly buy. I
9:32
Speaker 1: think lightly buying and giving up like low end prospects
9:35
Speaker 1: is okay, right, lower rated prospects to show your fan base,
9:38
Speaker 1: like you're in this thing. So even for the Cardinals
9:41
Speaker 1: and for the Marlins, like let's go to Saint Louis.
9:45
Speaker 1: How much are you getting for Dustin May at the
9:46
Speaker 1: trade deadline? That's my thing is sometimes I just think
9:49
Speaker 1: holding and then maybe just adding a small piece, like
9:52
Speaker 1: a position player if you're the Marlins, maybe a bullpen
9:55
Speaker 1: guy if you're the Cardinals, just so you stay in
9:57
Speaker 1: it and give your team a run and maybe you
9:59
Speaker 1: upset the Phillies or the Cubs or somebody in the
10:02
Speaker 1: first round and things get wild and you create a
10:05
Speaker 1: lifelong memory and you're like, Okay, I gave up an
10:07
Speaker 1: a ball guy that didn't end up working out, Like
10:08
Speaker 1: these aren't the the big money Trek Schoogle trade. So
10:12
Speaker 1: that's the fan in me, just throwing that out there.
10:14
Speaker 1: But we'll see what actually transpires here over the next month.
10:16
Speaker 1: Just something to think about. If the White Sox are
10:18
Speaker 1: doing it, I'm like, why can't the Cardinals do it
10:20
Speaker 1: and the Marlins do it? All right, let's take a
10:22
Speaker 1: quick break. What why are you shaking your head?
10:25
Speaker 4: I don't think the White Sox are going to do
10:26
Speaker 4: that much, but.
10:28
Speaker 1: But they're gonna lightly buy they're going to acquire something.
10:31
Speaker 4: I think the Marlins. I think the Marlins will too.
10:34
Speaker 4: I think they will, but.
10:35
Speaker 1: The Cold too. Then they're in the same spot. The
10:37
Speaker 1: Cardinals have a better offense by far than the Marlins.
10:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're pitching, is they're starting pitching isn't going
10:43
Speaker 4: to carry them. Sorry, it just can't. It doesn't have
10:45
Speaker 4: what the Marlins have.
10:47
Speaker 1: Okay. A c Geek is MLB's official ticket marketplace, and

11:49
Speaker 1: Geek Hey trade predictions with all of our hosts for
11:53
Speaker 1: the week. Ross Stripling did a really thorough job here,
11:56
Speaker 1: so we're going to get right to it so you
11:57
Speaker 1: can really explain this. This is great, dude. So let's
12:00
Speaker 1: show the board so that you can run through some
12:03
Speaker 1: of your thinking here in terms of finding some fits
12:06
Speaker 1: for players in respective organizations. And we'll start actually with
12:09
Speaker 1: Luis Arise. You have going to the Tampa Bay Rays,
12:12
Speaker 1: which love that kind of player lately.
12:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should see my notes. They're comical, you know.
12:19
Speaker 3: He said send over y'all ask for like five to ten,
12:21
Speaker 3: and at one point I was about to send like
12:22
Speaker 3: thirty seven, you know. So yeah, Luis Arise is just
12:26
Speaker 3: a perfect fit to the Rays. He's a good fit
12:28
Speaker 3: for a lot of teams. But if you're talking about
12:29
Speaker 3: just like you know, funky stadium, funky lineup. Not a
12:33
Speaker 3: lot of guys that thump in that lineup. I think
12:35
Speaker 3: only two with double digit home runs, you know. But
12:39
Speaker 3: he's just so annoying to pitch too, and you throw
12:41
Speaker 3: them in an annoying place, in an annoying lineup.
12:44
Speaker 2: He just fits there perfect.
12:46
Speaker 3: He is a nightmare for someone like me that pitches
12:48
Speaker 3: to contact and he is just gonna basically take his
12:51
Speaker 3: singler double and go. And I'm just like, all right,
12:53
Speaker 3: there's nothing else that could have done there. So he
12:55
Speaker 3: just seems like a perfect fit for the Rays.
13:00
Speaker 1: I like it, right, Let's keep running down the line.
13:01
Speaker 1: So next up Taylor Ward. His naghbors come up a
13:04
Speaker 1: couple times lately with some of our hosts throwing his
13:07
Speaker 1: name out there. Despite the Orioles saying that they're buying,
13:11
Speaker 1: eventually they keep losing, they're not going to be buying,
13:13
Speaker 1: so you have going to the Guardians.
13:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, same kind of thing there, you know, just kind
13:18
Speaker 2: of fits the team. You know.
13:20
Speaker 3: He gets on base, like you look right there, like
13:22
Speaker 3: two fifty with five home runs. That's nothing crazy, you know,
13:25
Speaker 3: but right there, three seventy eight on base percentage when
13:28
Speaker 3: hitting two fifty and then just a guy you can
13:30
Speaker 3: plug in and you know what you're going to get.
13:32
Speaker 3: I think there's more slug in there that he's shown
13:34
Speaker 3: this year and he's not going to, you know, win
13:36
Speaker 3: you a Gold Glove, but he's going to do just
13:38
Speaker 3: fine out there in the outfield. And I just I
13:41
Speaker 3: felt like Cleveland was a fit there. This is hard
13:43
Speaker 3: to do, man. You guys threw this on me, and
13:45
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, once again, I felt like there's
13:47
Speaker 3: like seven eight teams, but I went Taylor Ward to
13:49
Speaker 3: the Guardians. I think a team that's not going to
13:51
Speaker 3: make a huge splash, but a team that's going to
13:53
Speaker 3: look to add and a Taylor Ward just kind of
13:55
Speaker 3: fits right in that mold.
13:57
Speaker 1: Nice. What about glabor tours to the Blue Jays. My
14:00
Speaker 1: biggest question here would be how you construct their infield
14:02
Speaker 1: If you do this and Glaber of course this assuming
14:05
Speaker 1: he kind of feels good from the oblique that's been
14:07
Speaker 1: bothering him, no doubt he can make an impact.
14:09
Speaker 2: But got Ernie.
14:10
Speaker 1: Clement, You've got Andre Semenez, You've got Okamoto, you've got Laddie.
14:14
Speaker 1: At first, how do you configure this?
14:16
Speaker 2: I don't know once again.
14:19
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, I'm just trying to put
14:20
Speaker 3: good players on good teams here. I think it's just,
14:24
Speaker 3: you know, they're familiar with him with his time with
14:25
Speaker 3: the Yankees. I know that we really when I was
14:28
Speaker 3: with Toronto, we thought hard about how to pitch to Glaber,
14:31
Speaker 3: even in a lineup that had Judge and Stanton. You know,
14:34
Speaker 3: Glaber always seemed to do well when he came to Toronto,
14:37
Speaker 3: and I just like what I've seen from him so
14:38
Speaker 3: far this year. I don't feel like he's trying to slug. He's,
14:41
Speaker 3: you know, kind of fitting more like a leadoff mold.
14:43
Speaker 3: He's playing a really good second base. And I just
14:45
Speaker 3: think when you're Toronto and you're kind of you know,
14:48
Speaker 3: you're riding the high of last year, and you know,
14:50
Speaker 3: if we just get hot at the right time, we
14:52
Speaker 3: can make a run. At some point, Laddie's got to
14:54
Speaker 3: turn into Vladdie again. You just think that he will.
14:56
Speaker 3: You gotta assume that he will. So if we just
14:58
Speaker 3: keep putting good players a around him, injuries happened, Weird
15:01
Speaker 3: things happen if you add this guy to the roster
15:05
Speaker 3: and a guy we're familiar with him, like the way
15:06
Speaker 3: that he plays, you know, that's that's nothing but a
15:09
Speaker 3: good problem to have. So that was kind of my
15:11
Speaker 3: thought there.
15:12
Speaker 1: This is an easy one. I see Raldus Chapman to
15:14
Speaker 1: the Mariners, I mean he fits for any team that's contending,
15:18
Speaker 1: and for Seattle, I mean, yeah, adding another bullpen piece
15:21
Speaker 1: makes sense. Remember last year their manager didn't want to
15:25
Speaker 1: use Andreis Munos and that kind of cost him a
15:28
Speaker 1: lot there.
15:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, Munjos kind of you know, we talked about it earlier,
15:32
Speaker 3: like eighth inning.
15:33
Speaker 2: For Chapman or would he be the closer? In Munos?
15:35
Speaker 3: I think rocking in the area above four, which just
15:37
Speaker 3: seems impossible any of the stuff that he has. But
15:40
Speaker 3: maybe if you take a little bit of ninth inning
15:42
Speaker 3: pressure off him and you move him to the eighth
15:43
Speaker 3: and bring Eroaldus in to throw the ninth there, you know,
15:47
Speaker 3: does that lead to something good? And part of my
15:49
Speaker 3: thinking there was just like how many teams can Eraldus
15:51
Speaker 3: play for? You know, can we get into can we
15:54
Speaker 3: get to fifteen? We haven't seen him in a Mariner's
15:56
Speaker 3: uniform yet. How funky would that be in teal where
15:59
Speaker 3: his muscles are just popping through a teal painted on shirt,
16:03
Speaker 3: you know, and we've yet to see you Waldus in
16:04
Speaker 3: that situation. So let's let's send the Seattle a little
16:07
Speaker 3: West coast action and see what it looks like.
16:10
Speaker 1: Okay, this one makes me excited.
16:12
Speaker 2: Kratz.
16:13
Speaker 1: I see Seth Lugo to the Cardinals, so he has
16:15
Speaker 1: them buying another arm. This is playing to what you're
16:18
Speaker 1: going against them on, is that they don't have enough
16:20
Speaker 1: pitching to get through, of course the postseason, but even
16:23
Speaker 1: just to get to the postseason. This would help. No, Kratz,
16:25
Speaker 1: do you like this one?
16:27
Speaker 2: It helps for sure?
16:28
Speaker 3: Okay, strip process Zach Wheeler answer, Zach Wheeler, Yeah, yeah.
16:36
Speaker 3: You know what my thought here was, I wanted to
16:38
Speaker 3: put Waka back to Saint Louis, and then I didn't
16:40
Speaker 3: want to put that on Waka. You know, he's got
16:42
Speaker 3: like an eight month old son. I feel like, let's
16:44
Speaker 3: let's leave them in Kansas City. I'll send Seth Lugo, uh,
16:48
Speaker 3: you know, a few miles up to Saint Louis. And
16:52
Speaker 3: you know, thought there is that they probably move on
16:54
Speaker 3: from Dustin May as they've kind of put in the media,
16:57
Speaker 3: but they need to replace him and not totally pun
16:59
Speaker 3: on the season. So some like Seth Lugo, who maybe
17:02
Speaker 3: isn't having the year that we've come used to from him,
17:04
Speaker 3: but obviously still like a he's got like a twelve
17:06
Speaker 3: pitch mix and I think he is an easy guy
17:09
Speaker 3: to believe that will figure it out. So get him
17:11
Speaker 3: maybe in some new threads and finished the year strong
17:14
Speaker 3: for Saint Louis and see what he can do for them.
17:17
Speaker 1: Casey Mys is an interesting name. Instead of going Schooble,
17:20
Speaker 1: you go Mys on your list, and you have him
17:24
Speaker 1: going to Atlanta. I mean mis has been sneaky good
17:26
Speaker 1: when he's been on the mound this year.
17:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has been good.
17:30
Speaker 3: And that uh had him kind of between Philly and
17:34
Speaker 3: Atlanta and ended up choosing Atlanta. And you can see,
17:38
Speaker 3: you know, I have no Sandy on this list. I
17:39
Speaker 3: have no Scoo Ball on this list. I kind of
17:42
Speaker 3: went not necessarily under the radar names, but not the big,
17:46
Speaker 3: heavy hitting names. And you know, yeah, really spot on there, Scott,
17:50
Speaker 3: like he's he's been great when he's towed the rubber
17:53
Speaker 3: and the Braves can always use more pitching. Who knows
17:55
Speaker 3: when Strider's coming back and what he looks like. They
17:57
Speaker 3: got Lopez back he looked okay, But I don't know
18:00
Speaker 3: how much you can rely on that just yet. You know,
18:03
Speaker 3: he hasn't necessarily been able to stay super healthy in
18:06
Speaker 3: this new starting role of the last couple of years.
18:08
Speaker 3: So why not add a first overall pick to the
18:10
Speaker 3: mix and see what he can do.
18:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see if we can get Krafts comment on
18:14
Speaker 1: the back end of this, So a few more to go.
18:16
Speaker 1: He does this to me all the time, which I
18:18
Speaker 1: like because then it means I need to go to
18:19
Speaker 1: him and see what's wrong. Clay Holmes to the Phillies, Yeah,
18:23
Speaker 1: I see Clay Holmes to the Phillies, brook Brooks Raley
18:25
Speaker 1: and aj Mintor to the Dodgers. So that's part of
18:28
Speaker 1: our Mets sale here.
18:29
Speaker 2: That's a one or the other.
18:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're getting getting one of the Dodgers,
18:33
Speaker 3: are getting one of those lefties. Yeah, just whichever one
18:36
Speaker 3: you know they can pull off and or Yeah, that's
18:40
Speaker 3: two fighters. Zaggi's right there next to each other too,
18:43
Speaker 3: Brooks Raley. I played with at A and m Aj
18:45
Speaker 3: Mentor right after me at Texas A and m. Maybe
18:48
Speaker 3: you could get him in a group Texas, A and
18:50
Speaker 3: m deal. They'd be an asset to any bullpen. But
18:52
Speaker 3: I'm imagine one of those guys is going west Homer.
18:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hey, Clay Holmes was really good before he
18:59
Speaker 1: went down, and he should be back at some point,
19:01
Speaker 1: maybe in August, and even if he needs to get
19:03
Speaker 1: traded before that. Of course, teams have done that in
19:06
Speaker 1: the past, where you take the risk, you look at
19:08
Speaker 1: the medicals and then you have Sonny grade of the
19:09
Speaker 1: Padres as the last one, which I love. I think
19:11
Speaker 1: that's a great spot for him.
19:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one actually got me the most fired up.
19:16
Speaker 3: I thought about putting that one in front of the list.
19:18
Speaker 3: You know, I just think Sonny is so fun to
19:20
Speaker 3: watch man. I love watching him pitch. I love what
19:23
Speaker 3: he does. The Padres are also kind of in that,
19:27
Speaker 3: you know, do we do, we sell?
19:28
Speaker 2: Do we buy? And we're gonna do something big and
19:31
Speaker 2: he's you.
19:31
Speaker 3: Know, Sonny's a pretty big splash man. I mean, look
19:33
Speaker 3: at that nine and one with the two six e R.
19:35
Speaker 3: Anybody can use that. So you know, that's that's a
19:38
Speaker 3: team trying to compete with the Dodgers year in and
19:41
Speaker 3: year out.
19:42
Speaker 2: They know they need some pitching.
19:44
Speaker 3: Sonny Gray is not scared of any situation, and yeah, man,
19:48
Speaker 3: that's I chose him to go to the Padres.
19:51
Speaker 4: I also love your Sonny Gray. That's my That was
19:53
Speaker 4: gonna be my one comment normally when anybody trades somebody
19:56
Speaker 4: to the Padres, the Tigers, trying to think of another
20:00
Speaker 4: team that can't hit normally, I say, yeah, but he
20:05
Speaker 4: can't hit. If you know Sonny at all, he is
20:08
Speaker 4: a freak athlete, and he would say, hey, the National
20:12
Speaker 4: League still got the DH because I don't mind hitting
20:15
Speaker 4: if you need me to hit. So I love that.
20:17
Speaker 4: I love that Sonny Gray's competitiveness would go into that
20:20
Speaker 4: clubhouse and it won't help their offense, but Sonny would
20:24
Speaker 4: love it if he could do that for them.
20:26
Speaker 2: Your Sonny Gray is better than your Donald Trump. I'll
20:29
Speaker 2: give you that. It wasn't supposed to be Donald Trump.
20:31
Speaker 4: It was supposed to be it was supposed to be
20:33
Speaker 4: my ar MLBP like pr, Hey, you know what I'm
20:39
Speaker 4: gonna do.
20:40
Speaker 7: I'm gonna make sure you guys just have this new baseball.
20:43
Speaker 7: It's gonna have a little bit of splotches on it,
20:46
Speaker 7: but don't worry about it. We're not manipulating anything. We're
20:50
Speaker 7: not manipulating any stats of any kind.
20:53
Speaker 2: We're not mobile Alabama.
21:00
Speaker 4: The MLB owner is fifty five years old and white.
