Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: There's a few teams that should not have signed Peter Alonzo.
- 0:03Speaker 1: Any team that has a really good first baseman, I'm
- 0:05Speaker 1: fine with you not signing Pet Alonzo. The Rockies should
- 0:08Speaker 1: not sign Pee Alonzo, the Marlins should not sign Peter Alonzo,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and the White Sox should not.
- 0:18Speaker 2: It's almost that time. Super Bowl Sunday, and then it's
- 0:21Speaker 2: all about baseball. Don't have me about anything else. I
- 0:25Speaker 2: don't care.
- 0:26Speaker 3: You're right, you are right.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of crossover with baseball and football fans,
- 0:32Speaker 2: I would say, more than any sport.
- 0:34Speaker 4: Agree, agree, I think, I don't mean interrupt you. I
- 0:39Speaker 4: think every sport should be done and then the next
- 0:41Speaker 4: sport should begin. But that's just me, you know what
- 0:44Speaker 4: I mean. Get the full season of baseball, then football
- 0:48Speaker 4: starts the next week after like that.
- 0:51Speaker 3: That's how but whatever, How would we do that? Though?
- 0:54Speaker 3: I don't know. We would cut down on some baseball games.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of people that don't give a
- 1:00Speaker 2: crap about some of the other major pro sports.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I often used to get like, oh, well, you know
- 1:06Speaker 2: this NHL or NBA games can take ratings away from
- 1:10Speaker 2: the Yeah. Sure, Like in the same market, team's really good. Okay,
- 1:14Speaker 2: but I think crossover talk can get overrated with certain sports.
- 1:18Speaker 2: In my mintocrats, I think football is the one though.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Football is the one that obviously is top dog in
- 1:25Speaker 2: the US but also specifically takes away from baseball a lot.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It does, but I think baseball holds its own towards
- 1:33Speaker 1: towards the end of their seasons. That's you know, football
- 1:35Speaker 1: starts up in September, rolls through, rolls through October. But
- 1:40Speaker 1: the kind of early games in football get kind of excited.
- 1:43Speaker 1: But then the playoffs they hold their own. I mean
- 1:45Speaker 1: they've taken taken Sunday playoff games away.
- 1:49Speaker 5: I get that.
- 1:50Speaker 2: That's good.
- 1:53Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:54Speaker 2: We'll talk more about the parody disparody between the NFL
- 1:58Speaker 2: and MLB later. I'm excited to get into that, but
- 2:01Speaker 2: let's start with the crime case.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Charge about.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Charging the mound. Talking about Ibe Mizuhara, the former assistant
- 2:11Speaker 2: and interpreter for show Heyo Tani. He received his sentencing
- 2:15Speaker 2: fifty seven months in prison. It begins on March twenty fourth,
- 2:20Speaker 2: and this is a tweet from Samblum that I'm reading
- 2:22Speaker 2: right now covers the Angels. Ibe will have three years
- 2:25Speaker 2: of supervised release and is ordered to pay restitution of
- 2:29Speaker 2: nearly seventeen million dollars to show hey, Otani government got
- 2:33Speaker 2: the sentence that they requested because Ibe asked for eighteen months.
- 2:38Speaker 2: The judge specifically noted Epe's pre sentence letter to the court.
- 2:41Speaker 2: The judge said that Ibe misled to court and omitted
- 2:45Speaker 2: key facts. Ibe apologized to Otani and others in a
- 2:48Speaker 2: brief sent a statement before sentencing. Both Ebe's attorney and
- 2:53Speaker 2: prosecuting attorney said they expect Eba to be deported after
- 2:56Speaker 2: a sentence. He's a lawful permanent resident but not a
- 2:59Speaker 2: US citizen. So Tani filed a victim impact statement for
- 3:02Speaker 2: the judge before sentencing. It is up to the victim
- 3:04Speaker 2: if they want the statement to be publicly available. Otani's
- 3:06Speaker 2: statement was filed under seal. I want to actually start
- 3:12Speaker 2: by pointing this part out. Todd father, when we got
- 3:15Speaker 2: that letter and he was asking for sentencing at eighteen
- 3:20Speaker 2: months versus fifty seven months, specifically pointed out how gross
- 3:24Speaker 2: it was. We went almost line by line. You can
- 3:28Speaker 2: go back to videos of ours and find it. So
- 3:31Speaker 2: I'm glad that the judge and I were on the
- 3:33Speaker 2: same page. I'm not always on the same page with
- 3:34Speaker 2: every judge, but I'm glad that I was on the
- 3:36Speaker 2: same page with this judge. And the two parts that
- 3:39Speaker 2: I want to remind people about are One, Ipe wanted
- 3:42Speaker 2: people to feel bad that he was Otani's assistant and
- 3:45Speaker 2: had to help him with things like groceries and his
- 3:49Speaker 2: pet having to go to the groomer. Meanwhile, Otani's paying
- 3:52Speaker 2: for like sixty k of dental work for this guy,
- 3:55Speaker 2: so they clearly were close friends and both helping each
- 3:57Speaker 2: other out. And also Ipe clearly had no idea yeah
- 4:00Speaker 2: how apps work, because he could have done most of
- 4:02Speaker 2: the assistant work that he needed to get done via
- 4:04Speaker 2: apps and he was making hundreds of thousands of dollars
- 4:08Speaker 2: and Todd fil This is the one that pissed me
- 4:10Speaker 2: off the most. He had to include that part of
- 4:13Speaker 2: his difficult labor that he was getting not compensated enough
- 4:18Speaker 2: for was sitting through the prenup agreement that Otany has
- 4:22Speaker 2: with his current wife. That's freaking gross. Nobody needed you
- 4:26Speaker 2: to put that in a letter. That is a freaking
- 4:28Speaker 2: low blow. You were asking for a bad sentence. We
- 4:31Speaker 2: all saw that.
- 4:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot to unfold here. Man,
- 4:36Speaker 4: I know, I thought this was kind of like almost
- 4:38Speaker 4: at the tail end, but this is just the beginning.
- 4:41Speaker 4: I mean, you have to pay seventeen million dollars in restitution.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Where's he getting that money first?
- 4:46Speaker 3: And for not paying it?
- 4:48Speaker 4: And that's that's almost one hundred percent factual. I don't
- 4:52Speaker 4: know where he's getting it this. This guy is in
- 4:56Speaker 4: some deep trouble and what he did, and for people
- 4:59Speaker 4: to understand, you know, sure, you're gonna be skeptical at times.
- 5:02Speaker 4: The biggest name in sports pretty much are in baseball
- 5:04Speaker 4: excuse me, not sports, but he's a really big name
- 5:06Speaker 4: in sports as well, showy Otana. You kind of think, like, back, well,
- 5:10Speaker 4: did he have something to do with this? That was
- 5:12Speaker 4: that was probably most people's first thoughts, just because of
- 5:15Speaker 4: what's happened in baseball in years past, and you know,
- 5:17Speaker 4: some people getting in trouble with you know, sports and
- 5:19Speaker 4: gambling and with money and all that stuff. But this
- 5:22Speaker 4: is definitely not it, and I need people to understand it.
- 5:25Speaker 4: Seems like show Hey did not have anything to do
- 5:28Speaker 4: with this, and uh, he pays in a lot of trouble. Man,
- 5:33Speaker 4: There's a lot to unfold. He has a lot going
- 5:36Speaker 4: on his plate in the wrong direction, and nobody's feeling
- 5:39Speaker 4: bad for him. That's the biggest thing. He wants people
- 5:42Speaker 4: to feel bad for him over little things who wouldn't
- 5:45Speaker 4: sit through a prenuptial agreement knowing they're getting paid no
- 5:47Speaker 4: matter what. So there's a lot to unfold, there's a
- 5:50Speaker 4: lot to talk about. But this guy's in some trouble.
- 5:53Speaker 4: And I'm sure when this is all said and done
- 5:55Speaker 4: and the prison's all said and done, he's going to
- 5:57Speaker 4: be out of here asap.

- 7:00Speaker 1: I hope that show Hay didn't view Epey as close
- 7:06Speaker 1: of a friend as I know some of the other
- 7:08Speaker 1: translators that I've that I've played with guys who have
- 7:11Speaker 1: had translators, like they really view their translator, who is
- 7:15Speaker 1: also technically an assistant, you know how how it works out,
- 7:20Speaker 1: Like as a friend. They view him as a friend,
- 7:22Speaker 1: somebody that lives with them, somebody that you know, hangs
- 7:26Speaker 1: out with their wife sometimes, like there's a lot of
- 7:28Speaker 1: trust there. And if he viewed him as a friend
- 7:31Speaker 1: and a friend, did this to you it would most
- 7:34Speaker 1: likely have closed show Hay even more off than he's
- 7:38Speaker 1: already been closed off. But Derek and Chat was saying that,
- 7:43Speaker 1: you know, maybe they should he should defer at seventeen
- 7:46Speaker 1: million because he's never gonna be able to pay it
- 7:48Speaker 1: back unless Epey writes a book just saying ooh, I'm.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Just saying, wait, I'll take it a step further documentary
- 8:02Speaker 2: on one of the streamers. Mhm, those make even more
- 8:07Speaker 2: money these days.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, maybe maybe I'm too maybe I'm too old
- 8:12Speaker 1: school say in a book, but.
- 8:16Speaker 3: That's true.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I just think it's a it's a clear case. The
- 8:20Speaker 1: whole thing is a clear case of Epay being liar.
- 8:24Speaker 1: He lied to show Hey, he tried to lie to
- 8:28Speaker 1: the judge during the sentencing, and he's probably lying to himself.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You know, Oh, I know I can get out of this.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I know I can. I can figure out how to
- 8:38Speaker 1: get out of this debt. I can figure out how
- 8:40Speaker 1: to come back from that last parlay that I just lost,
- 8:43Speaker 1: you know, and he just kept lying. He's lied all
- 8:46Speaker 1: the way up till the.
- 8:47Speaker 2: End, and the US came down with the hammer. There
- 8:56Speaker 2: was someone in the chat like would annoy them all
- 9:00Speaker 2: more under the radar case produce the same result. I
- 9:04Speaker 2: really honestly don't know the answer. You know, does the
- 9:07Speaker 2: US try to sometimes make an example out of these
- 9:10Speaker 2: high profile cases. No, I have no idea. I really
- 9:14Speaker 2: don't know.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think we deep I don't think we
- 9:20Speaker 4: go on a deep dive of that. But I either
- 9:23Speaker 4: way here not above the law, and I and I
- 9:25Speaker 4: and I think, you know, it's going to catch up
- 9:29Speaker 4: to you, you know, one way or another. And it
- 9:31Speaker 4: caught up quick. This was a quick one. This wasn't
- 9:33Speaker 4: like down the road either. So this is It's a shame,
- 9:39Speaker 4: that's it. That's all I could say. It's a shame
- 9:42Speaker 4: that this happened. It hurts interpreters that come over here
- 9:45Speaker 4: and fight to help out, you know whatever, you know,
- 9:48Speaker 4: whether it's Spanish, you know, Japanese, Chinese, whatever language barrier
- 9:52Speaker 4: that the player has, and now these guys, you know,
- 9:55Speaker 4: puts them in check as well, like, hey, am I
- 9:57Speaker 4: doing the right thing?
- 9:58Speaker 3: Did I make sure I cross my teeth and my eyes.
- 10:00Speaker 4: To make sure I don't get in trouble even though
- 10:02Speaker 4: you know, maybe I needed this money because he told me,
- 10:05Speaker 4: I can you know, whatever it is, it's uh, it's
- 10:08Speaker 4: it's kind of scary if you want the choose for
- 10:09Speaker 4: these guys.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Now.
- 10:11Speaker 1: We just had Tim Anderson on and he was talking
- 10:14Speaker 1: about how, you know, he started to play bad because
- 10:16Speaker 1: you know, there's some things going on in his life.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I think people forget that part of like baseball players, athletes,
- 10:24Speaker 1: things off the field will one hundred affect things on
- 10:28Speaker 1: the field. Tikes it so amazing what Shohey did this year.
- 10:33Speaker 1: He was able to rehab, which can be just braining
- 10:36Speaker 1: in itself, and he had to deal with this like
- 10:39Speaker 1: it wasn't just like oh he pay's gone, I got
- 10:42Speaker 1: another translator, h hum whatever, Like this is a huge thing.
- 10:46Speaker 5: This is a huge thing.
- 10:47Speaker 1: And looking back on the last seven eight years of
- 10:50Speaker 1: his life, like, this guy's been around and this guy
- 10:52Speaker 1: has done all this stuff to me, and he was
- 10:55Speaker 1: still able to block all that out and do what
- 10:57Speaker 1: he did.
- 10:57Speaker 2: This season And asked the question from Susie did he
- 11:02Speaker 2: lie about his job history when they were doing that
- 11:05Speaker 2: deep dive? There were other falsehoods, so it made it
- 11:11Speaker 2: an easier case to see that there's a lot of
- 11:13Speaker 2: fraud and scam for him to get to this place.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Some people go How did Otani not know? How does
- 11:19Speaker 2: he not know that this is being taken from him?
- 11:22Speaker 2: He's super rich, he's super baseball focused and news slash.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Not everybody checks all of their bank accounts all the
- 11:29Speaker 2: time when they have tens of millions of dollars coming
- 11:31Speaker 2: into them. I don't speak from experience, but he's not
- 11:35Speaker 2: the first athlete, celebrity, rich person in general to get swindled,
- 11:42Speaker 2: not even close.
- 11:43Speaker 5: Well not even close. And it's not even like he
- 11:46Speaker 5: found it. Let's put it this way.
- 11:48Speaker 1: I know a guy, one of my close friends, that
- 11:51Speaker 1: was making fifteen million dollars for the previous three seasons,
- 11:55Speaker 1: so he had made forty five million dollars. He did
- 11:59Speaker 1: not own a car, He rented place, and the only
- 12:03Speaker 1: thing that he owned was a facility that hit like
- 12:06Speaker 1: a hitting facility that his brother ran back in another state.
- 12:10Speaker 1: That's the only things that he owned. I was like,
- 12:13Speaker 1: what do you do.
- 12:14Speaker 5: With your money? He's like, really not sure.
- 12:17Speaker 1: So he was getting fifteen million a year coming in
- 12:21Speaker 1: and the car that he did drive around the city
- 12:23Speaker 1: he was in was paid for by like an appearance
- 12:26Speaker 1: that he did, and this was a multi year All Star. Like,
- 12:30Speaker 1: it's just not people don't understand that. And this is
- 12:34Speaker 1: partially why athletes lose their money sometimes too, is because
- 12:38Speaker 1: they don't know. They're just like, eh, you know, I
- 12:40Speaker 1: just get a check and it's cool and I can
- 12:42Speaker 1: whatever I want.
- 12:43Speaker 2: And normal people have to manage a lot more things
- 12:47Speaker 2: in life than abnormal people who have a lot more
- 12:52Speaker 2: money and spame. Right, you're a super famous person. You've
- 12:56Speaker 2: got a publicist, an assistant, maybe secretary, a banking person. Right,
- 13:02Speaker 2: they end up having like twenty thirty people on their payroll.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Things can get out of hand. Yeah, I want to
- 13:09Speaker 2: finish with this because I didn't comment on the part
- 13:10Speaker 2: you mentioned. Kratz Man, it really affected Otani. I mean
- 13:14Speaker 2: we didn't even see him pitch this year this past season.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Dude didn't even step foot on the mound. Oh oh wait,
- 13:20Speaker 2: hold on them get oh oh I heard actually he
- 13:23Speaker 2: had a big elbow surgery. Well, you know, the numbers
- 13:26Speaker 2: weren't the same. He actually ended up stealing way more
- 13:29Speaker 2: bases than ever and was a home run monster as
- 13:32Speaker 2: a DH with the Dodgers on a World Series winning team.
- 13:35Speaker 2: So wow, it really felt like he was affected behind
- 13:38Speaker 2: the scenes. This actually plays to the point of someone
- 13:41Speaker 2: who doesn't pay attention to a lot off the field,
- 13:45Speaker 2: and he is completely baseball obsessed, so much so that
- 13:49Speaker 2: he doesn't even let an off the field thing affect
- 13:52Speaker 2: him or at least affect his on field performance, Because yes,
- 13:56Speaker 2: people would be rattled. Let's finish with this, Todd Father.
- 13:59Speaker 2: You get home day, you find out someone stole half
- 14:02Speaker 2: your bank account. Your thoughts on your playing performance the
- 14:06Speaker 2: next day?
- 14:07Speaker 4: Oh man, I don't even know if I'd make it
- 14:10Speaker 4: to the field. If you want the truth, I would
- 14:12Speaker 4: have to. I'd have to make something up, but it
- 14:15Speaker 4: wouldn't be a good day for me or my family.
- 14:18Speaker 4: I would just try and get by, and then hopefully
- 14:20Speaker 4: the All Star break comes in and.
- 14:21Speaker 3: I get four or five days off. They'll figure it out.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Todd Father would be using his baseball bat for other reasons.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I kid, I kid, I kid. We might visit the
- 14:30Speaker 2: Todd Father later. We're back ap TA fan will be
- 14:32Speaker 2: pretty good with you today on answering as many questions
- 14:35Speaker 2: as possible, Jen said, Todd Father cut down baseball games.
- 14:40Speaker 3: How dare you who said that?
- 14:43Speaker 2: Jen? In the chat? I mean there's some fans.
- 14:46Speaker 3: That baseball girl, What do you want? How many do
- 14:49Speaker 3: you want, I want. I want five months. I don't
- 14:53Speaker 3: want six months. Five months is good. One? What is that? One?
- 14:56Speaker 4: One fifty take some No, yeah, one fifty ish, but
- 15:01Speaker 4: you take out some for five months, you get two
- 15:04Speaker 4: days off, so that's ten.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Yeah. One.
- 15:11Speaker 2: I mean most to there. Are you cool with taking
- 15:15Speaker 2: a fifteen percent pay cut for everyone's paychecks? Maybe more?
- 15:22Speaker 5: Oh?
- 15:25Speaker 3: No, the heck of a lot. It's the most games
- 15:27Speaker 3: ever played in sports.
- 15:28Speaker 4: That's that's a boatload of games, not including playoffs. How
- 15:32Speaker 4: you don't and spring training? How do you do?
- 15:38Speaker 2: Spring training? Is a little lengthy for me, But I
- 15:41Speaker 2: understand the business component that will never take away from it.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Those communities give a lot of money to basically MLB
- 15:49Speaker 2: to be able to have games played down there in
- 15:52Speaker 2: tourism money. So I don't think that is going to
- 15:55Speaker 2: be a part of the equation. But that's my take.
- 15:57Speaker 1: You guys, I think I think you have to have
- 16:04Speaker 1: you have to have all the spring training business component
- 16:06Speaker 1: or not. The pitchers have to be there the whole time.
- 16:08Speaker 1: To me, if I'm running an organ I'm trying to
- 16:11Speaker 1: be progressive. I'm gonna see Bryce Harper, I'm gonna see
- 16:15Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber. I'm gonna see Trey Turner. I'm seeing all
- 16:18Speaker 1: them like March tenth. I don't need you to be
- 16:22Speaker 1: there for I need you to be there for more
- 16:24Speaker 1: than three weeks, Like let's get it going, let's let's
- 16:28Speaker 1: speed it up. I need about two and a half
- 16:30Speaker 1: weeks of that bats for you. If you were to
- 16:32Speaker 1: show up early, hang out, you know, hit some golf balls, great,
- 16:35Speaker 1: but it's a little much when it's like, well, we're
- 16:38Speaker 1: gonna work them in three three innings the first game
- 16:41Speaker 1: of the year, and then four innings and then two
- 16:44Speaker 1: days off.
- 16:46Speaker 2: That's where the guys we're getting younger kratz, and there's
- 16:49Speaker 2: free food at the team.
- 16:54Speaker 5: You're not wrong, You're not wrong.
- 16:57Speaker 2: All you can eat Befet's why I think players will
- 17:00Speaker 2: be like, oh, should I show up right before or
- 17:02Speaker 2: after lunch? Well, nowadays they're showing up before lunch. The
- 17:06Speaker 2: food got much better. They messed up the CBA a
- 17:08Speaker 2: couple of years ago because all they were asking for
- 17:10Speaker 2: was like food and luxury trips and all that, not money.
- 17:15Speaker 2: But they did get better food, and so they show
- 17:17Speaker 2: up early. Deferral jokes, is you pay sentence deferred? I
- 17:20Speaker 2: saw that actually multiple times on social media. It's almost
- 17:24Speaker 2: like the deferral jokes applied to so many things nowadays
- 17:27Speaker 2: that I feel like there's a contingent of fans that
- 17:30Speaker 2: try and jump on a comment first to be like, oh,
- 17:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna be the first one to make the deferral joke.
- 17:35Speaker 5: Too late, too late, too late, not the first one,
- 17:42Speaker 5: now A right, let.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Me see seventeen million though, the seventeen million that's owed
- 17:48Speaker 1: to show. Hey that from uh I forget what the
- 17:52Speaker 1: what it's called.
- 17:54Speaker 5: That's restitution for the next restitution.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Yes, yes, the restitution money that's definitely deferred till never.
- 18:02Speaker 1: It's never going to get paid back.
- 18:04Speaker 2: See that's a that's an og joke right there. That's
- 18:07Speaker 2: a nice original right there, Todd. And it's true. The
- 18:09Speaker 2: judge even said that from the court case with Epay
- 18:13Speaker 2: yesterday that the judge hopes restitution gets paid, but was
- 18:19Speaker 2: pretty skeptical. I mean, he has no money essentially that
- 18:23Speaker 2: we know of. He's going to struggle to get a job.
- 18:26Speaker 2: He's going to be in prison for a while. Japan
- 18:30Speaker 2: is even more harsh on crime like this, Shame is
- 18:34Speaker 2: a big word, and he is going to struggle in
- 18:38Speaker 2: Japan even to show his face, like he might kind
- 18:41Speaker 2: of disappear from the public and do the Steve Bartmant
- 18:44Speaker 2: route of hiding up in the mountains or wherever you
- 18:47Speaker 2: can hide in Japan.
- 18:49Speaker 1: And according to and according to Epe, he wasn't paid
- 18:53Speaker 1: very well. He wasn't paid very well during this time either. So,
- 18:56Speaker 1: I mean, five hundred thousand dollars doesn't go as far
- 18:59Speaker 1: as it used.
- 19:00Speaker 2: To, apparently not. Neither does a nice Porsche to take
- 19:03Speaker 2: you around town.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Oh he gone.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Yeah, that one was tough to swallow when you're trying
- 19:10Speaker 2: to tell, you know, the court of public opinion that
- 19:15Speaker 2: you weren't getting paid enough to be an assistant in
- 19:17Speaker 2: your most recent salary was five hundred g's plus an
- 19:20Speaker 2: undisclosed him ount on top of that to be an
- 19:22Speaker 2: assistant for a tany plus the car. The whole thing
- 19:25Speaker 2: just starts to get a little bit gross. And I
- 19:27Speaker 2: blame his legal team just as much as him, because
- 19:30Speaker 2: he had a lawyer, and that lawyer put that letter together.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Of course he had to sign off on it. But
- 19:37Speaker 2: that's a poor job by that legal team. Okay, I
- 19:40Speaker 2: have no problem blasting that legal team. You want to
- 19:43Speaker 2: come on our show and tell us why you did
- 19:44Speaker 2: that and maybe say that it was your client. Okay, fine,
- 19:47Speaker 2: but honestly I would have dropped the client if he
- 19:49Speaker 2: wanted me to go that far in that letter.
- 19:51Speaker 5: So stupid. You can't do that. You can't drop him.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Hotizel Todd father. Yon Mancotta to the Angels for one
- 20:02Speaker 2: year and a guaranteed five million bucks. Hasn't paid played
- 20:05Speaker 2: much lately, but he's still in his twenties. He did
- 20:08Speaker 2: have a monster season in I remember, what was it,
- 20:13Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, he said, some okay, time periods in baseball
- 20:17Speaker 2: since like twenty twenty one, he was good. I mean
- 20:19Speaker 2: he was a four win player on Baseball Reference war
- 20:21Speaker 2: that was the last time we really saw good. Yon
- 20:24Speaker 2: Mancatta only put together forty five played appearances this year.
- 20:28Speaker 2: He's had trouble staying on the field. Like Ken mentioned
- 20:30Speaker 2: in his segment, maybe a change of scenery helps the cause.
- 20:35Speaker 2: We might have a left side of the infield with
- 20:36Speaker 2: Mancata and Tim Anderson on opening day instead of Netto,
- 20:40Speaker 2: who Angels fans love and is a good part of
- 20:43Speaker 2: the core. But he's going to start the season late,
- 20:45Speaker 2: I think because he's hurt coming back from surgery. And
- 20:48Speaker 2: then Anthony Rendon has now received the message that it's
- 20:52Speaker 2: probably going to be riding the pine. What do you
- 20:55Speaker 2: think about this? When Todd Father, did you play with Mancatta?
- 20:58Speaker 2: Did you come across him?
- 21:01Speaker 3: Remember we had this conversation.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Oh yes, he.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Brought it up and I didn't remember he got he
- 21:10Speaker 4: got that. No, it's okay, do a lot of hours, cratty.
- 21:17Speaker 4: He got traded over and I think I got I
- 21:20Speaker 4: got ousted right after, like a day or two after
- 21:22Speaker 4: rights Kratzy something like that.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Because you didn't know his name, right, they were like,
- 21:26Speaker 2: Todd Father, come on, it's yawn, you're out here.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. But no I didn't.
- 21:33Speaker 4: But he he's a good ballpla like will is he
- 21:37Speaker 4: gonna play?
- 21:38Speaker 3: Well? He played third base? Is that what's gonna happen here? Yes?
- 21:41Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's it's saying d H John here. That's
- 21:44Speaker 4: where I was confused about him. Listen, is it is
- 21:47Speaker 4: it gonna? I mean they're gonna have to battle out right.
- 21:50Speaker 2: He's not h He's not And I'll tell you why. Yeah,
- 21:53Speaker 2: that's I'm not on the fangraft lineup right now. But
- 21:55Speaker 2: or Hey, so Laire is the d H for the
- 21:58Speaker 2: Angels out here, we throw the lineup up there, even
- 22:01Speaker 2: if we don't believe in it. Let's throw the lineup
- 22:03Speaker 2: up there. This is the Fangrafts lineup. We didn't put
- 22:05Speaker 2: this together. So yeah, so Lair's in right field on
- 22:13Speaker 2: this version of the lineup. He's gonna play a little
- 22:15Speaker 2: bit at outfield. I do think that's a mistake. I
- 22:17Speaker 2: love Jorge Solaire's bat. That is not a first division
- 22:22Speaker 2: outfielder defensively, So you've got Taylor Ward in left, Ronhifho
- 22:27Speaker 2: second batting, second trout, center field, third. I'm reading this
- 22:31Speaker 2: out for the crowd that listens later. So Lair cleaning
- 22:34Speaker 2: up playing right field, Shannwell first, netto at shortstop. Who again,
- 22:38Speaker 2: I don't think we'll be ready for opening day? Oh happy? Catching?
- 22:42Speaker 2: Then Mancata d H eighth and rendon ninth third base.
- 22:46Speaker 2: So at least for opening day purposes, you're gonna have
- 22:48Speaker 2: Mancata at third. I mean he's in his twenties, he
- 22:51Speaker 2: should still be able to handle third base.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Bangs out in spring training. I mean you can't just
- 22:59Speaker 4: give him third base.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Okay, then I you know what, I'm gonna say this,
- 23:05Speaker 2: the best problem in the twenty first century would be
- 23:10Speaker 2: if both Yon Mancatta and Anthony Rendon are so damn
- 23:14Speaker 2: good in twenty twenty five that you have to figure
- 23:16Speaker 2: out playing time for both of them. I feel be
- 23:19Speaker 2: lafe with that statement.
- 23:22Speaker 4: I agree one hundred percent. I don't know what's gonna happen, Kratzy.
- 23:25Speaker 4: You can talk more about it, but you can't just
- 23:28Speaker 4: I know he signed one year five million.
- 23:30Speaker 3: You still got a guy.
- 23:32Speaker 4: I get injuries and some other crap that happened all
- 23:36Speaker 4: of a sudden this year. He might come out of
- 23:38Speaker 4: the woodworks and be the Anthony don't of late, Well
- 23:40Speaker 4: it happened. I don't know. I know these angel fans
- 23:43Speaker 4: that come on here and they get after me about
- 23:45Speaker 4: any little thing I say. So I gotta be weary.
- 23:47Speaker 4: But I'm not saying Rendon can't come out if he's
- 23:51Speaker 4: healthy and bang out and get thirty homers.
- 23:53Speaker 5: I'm just saying I don't think it's weary.
- 23:56Speaker 1: I think it's leary or you have to be sleepy.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Either way, you have two guys that are battling for
- 24:05Speaker 1: a position that in the last few years, I'm gonna
- 24:08Speaker 1: be flat honest, haven't looked like they've wanted to battle
- 24:11Speaker 1: for any position. Now you look at Anthony Rendon and
- 24:15Speaker 1: what he did. You're talking about MVP caliber player before
- 24:18Speaker 1: they signed him, and you have to figure out this
- 24:22Speaker 1: is less about physically figuring out what these guys can do.
- 24:25Speaker 5: It's more of what motivates them.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Ken Ron Washington be the third baseman whisperer and get
- 24:32Speaker 1: both these guys to be motivated, get both these guys
- 24:35Speaker 1: to be competitive.
- 24:37Speaker 5: I love it.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Put two non competitive people or people that have shown
- 24:41Speaker 1: they're not that competitive in the recent years up against
- 24:44Speaker 1: each other and maybe there's a spark there. Maybe they
- 24:48Speaker 1: they can do it because they're both physically gifted. Yon
- 24:52Speaker 1: Mancata what he did from the eighteen season to the
- 24:56Speaker 1: nineteen season, I think he had two hundred just pulled
- 25:00Speaker 1: up two hundred and seventeen strikeouts. He cut it down
- 25:04Speaker 1: by over sixty strikeouts the next season. I remember them
- 25:08Speaker 1: being like, you strike out way too much, no chance.
- 25:11Speaker 1: He was like, look what I can do and he
- 25:14Speaker 1: did it. Like to me, it's in there. Does he
- 25:18Speaker 1: want to do it?
- 25:18Speaker 5: Can he do it?
- 25:20Speaker 1: Can he battle through little nicks and bruises, bumps and bruises.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Don't know how much does he want to be a
- 25:27Speaker 1: big leaguer, because if he wants to, if either of
- 25:30Speaker 1: them want to, they are all star caliber players.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:35Speaker 2: The reason I'm worried about Mancata is he's he's been
- 25:38Speaker 2: battling hip and groin issues. And you know last year
- 25:42Speaker 2: was it was April left the ductor stream out at
- 25:45Speaker 2: least three months. When he's running a first base, you know,
- 25:48Speaker 2: when you start to have those guys that like it's
- 25:50Speaker 2: just they're running and they just drop like they got sniped.
- 25:55Speaker 2: I'm just like, man, there might be some chronic concern here,
- 25:59Speaker 2: so we'll see. Maybe he's gotten through it. No, you
- 26:01Speaker 2: think I'm off.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Chronic sends me. Is he thirty six?
- 26:07Speaker 1: No chronic concern of Hey I need that, I need
- 26:10Speaker 1: that taken care of. Sorry, we're too far. We're too
- 26:13Speaker 1: far advanced medically physically, you know, physical therapy stuff. You
- 26:18Speaker 1: got to you got an entire offseason to get your
- 26:21Speaker 1: body right. And saying you have a chronic hip issue,
- 26:25Speaker 1: like look at Corey Seeker. I think Corey Seekers had
- 26:28Speaker 1: hip surgery and back surgery and the dude still figures
- 26:32Speaker 1: out a way to get out into the field. And
- 26:34Speaker 1: he had it at like twenty two years old. I
- 26:38Speaker 1: think it was early when he had it, Like guys
- 26:41Speaker 1: have injuries. But to say chronic at twenty eight, Mencona
- 26:47Speaker 1: is twenty nine years old, that's your prime.
- 26:51Speaker 5: You're in your prime.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Like to meet that chronic stuff starts coming up at
- 26:56Speaker 1: like thirty four to thirty five unless you don't put
- 26:59Speaker 1: the work in.
- 27:00Speaker 3: I'm right.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Trout was on here. Trout was on here talking about
- 27:02Speaker 1: he's like, I gotta do more now. He's like, I
- 27:04Speaker 1: gotta do more than I used to it twenty six,
- 27:07Speaker 1: at twenty four, at twenty two, when.
- 27:09Speaker 5: He's in the big leagues.
- 27:10Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, that's where I think guys
- 27:13Speaker 1: need to step up and do the extra stuff. So
- 27:16Speaker 1: I don't necessarily believe in the chronic the chronic issues
- 27:21Speaker 1: at that age.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Okay, I agree to disagree. I just think bodies are different.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Depends on the body type, depends on the work ethic,
- 27:29Speaker 2: depends on just certain bodies breaking down earlier than others.
- 27:32Speaker 2: In baseball, It's not like we haven't seen it before.
- 27:35Speaker 2: So it'll be super curious to see how the Angels
- 27:38Speaker 2: do with both Tim Anderson and Yon Mancata. See if
- 27:40Speaker 2: both those guys are starting out on the left side
- 27:43Speaker 2: of the infield, at least the Angels are doing things.
- 27:44Speaker 2: I give them credit. I just I was shocked that
- 27:46Speaker 2: Mancatta got guaranteed five million dollars for this coming season
- 27:50Speaker 2: based on what's gone on the last couple of years
- 27:52Speaker 2: with him. I was shocked, Like I would love to
- 27:54Speaker 2: know what the second best offer was. Great job by
- 27:56Speaker 2: his rep. Whoever it is like far think.
- 27:59Speaker 1: About the Profar last year played for a million dollars,
- 28:03Speaker 1: Go look at what Profar was not good the year before.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I was surprised at that big league deal. Moncatta getting
- 28:10Speaker 1: five million makes Profars look like nothing like that was
- 28:16Speaker 1: like for him to be able to get this money.
- 28:19Speaker 5: Great job by his rep.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Yep, I just didn't think, you know, Profar's body's breaking down.
- 28:24Speaker 2: I just think he had a bad year. But whatever
- 28:27Speaker 2: agreed to disagree, let's pay off this Junior Camonaro conversation.
- 28:31Speaker 2: So we spoke to Junior earlier this week. He was
- 28:34Speaker 2: like one of the big talks of the offseason because
- 28:37Speaker 2: of how fun he was over in the Winter League
- 28:41Speaker 2: and the showmanship and the play homers, and then he
- 28:45Speaker 2: went to a Laker game the other day. We're like're
- 28:46Speaker 2: gonna see Lebron because hes a basketball fan, and he
- 28:49Speaker 2: was like, maybe hopefully so Junior and Lebron Bron makes
- 28:54Speaker 2: him look pretty small, and Junior Camenaro is he's not
- 28:56Speaker 2: super tall Junior Caminaro, but he's he's a big dude.
- 29:00Speaker 5: He's he's a big dude. He's like six to one,
- 29:03Speaker 5: like two twenty Cavin Arrow.
- 29:06Speaker 1: And I mean Lebron for as much as everyone's like,
- 29:09Speaker 1: no Kobe Jordan all that stuff, like if you just
- 29:12Speaker 1: take him as a fysical specimen, Oh my gosh, Lebron
- 29:16Speaker 1: is a big, big dude. Big NBA guys are tall.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Lebron is got some width.
- 29:25Speaker 2: Right, He's he's not a tall glass of water Todd Father.
- 29:29Speaker 3: No, then Junior is what six' one? I think, so.
- 29:33Speaker 4: It's not not a small guy, but you know, not
- 29:35Speaker 4: the biggest of course. And man, these they are just specimens.
- 29:40Speaker 4: These athletes in basketball are incredible.
- 29:44Speaker 2: Do you think that NBA players would be good at
- 29:48Speaker 2: baseball if they were playing their whole life? No, very
- 29:52Speaker 2: different skill set.
- 29:54Speaker 4: And I've always I've I've had this conversation football players
- 29:58Speaker 4: and basketball players the best athletes. But if you take
- 30:02Speaker 4: them again, I said, they are the best athletes. If
- 30:05Speaker 4: you take them and put them in baseball, they would
- 30:08Speaker 4: they wouldn't have a shot. Now, if you take baseball
- 30:11Speaker 4: players and put them in basketball or football, we would
- 30:15Speaker 4: have a shot. And I would stick with that for
- 30:17Speaker 4: as long as I live. I know a lot of
- 30:18Speaker 4: baseball players that can shoot a basket, that can still
- 30:21Speaker 4: hit threes with the best of them.
- 30:23Speaker 3: I know baseball.
- 30:24Speaker 4: Players that can catch a football, throw football fifty sixty
- 30:27Speaker 4: yards like.
- 30:28Speaker 3: They they can play the game.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Again, they are basketball and football is the best athletes specimens.
- 30:35Speaker 4: But they couldn't hang with baseball.
- 30:36Speaker 3: We can. I think we can hang with the other sports. Okay.
- 30:41Speaker 2: I think the best conversion Kratz is NBA to NFL.
- 30:45Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of NBA players that
- 30:47Speaker 2: could play in the NFL. I think that's the best
- 30:49Speaker 2: conversion where there's a lot of guys that could go.
- 30:51Speaker 5: No, there's just there's just so much There's so much beef.
- 30:56Speaker 1: You got to put so much weight on those frames
- 30:59Speaker 1: of the those NBA guys, So I had have a
- 31:01Speaker 1: tough time. I'd have a tough time, saying, Okay, you
- 31:05Speaker 1: know Lebron at six' nine going across the, Mill he's
- 31:10Speaker 1: just there's just too much length. There i'm just afraid
- 31:13Speaker 1: that dude's gonna get.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Waffled we got A philly special right, here being that

- 34:26Speaker 2: i Acquired Jazz. CHISHOLM i Acquired jazz to be our
- 34:29Speaker 2: second basement and Move glaber to third the rest of
- 34:31Speaker 2: the of last. Year boonie Ron boone wanted to do
- 34:35Speaker 2: it the other. Way he Moved jazz to third after
- 34:37Speaker 2: we got him And glaber a second Because glabor didn't
- 34:40Speaker 2: want to move to. Third he was. Unwilling labor saw,
- 34:46Speaker 2: it and he replied still with a sleepy emoji and
- 34:53Speaker 2: a laughing, emoji and then said just turn with a calendar.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Emoji very twenty first century. Reply but then he deleted.
- 35:01Speaker 2: That but we already saw. It And i'll use an
- 35:04Speaker 2: Air kratz line, Here Todd father For, glabor say with your,
- 35:08Speaker 2: chest you're on a different. Team you and THE gm
- 35:11Speaker 2: didn't see hot eye on this. One go kick it
- 35:16Speaker 2: and smash thirty homers in the Al central.
- 35:19Speaker 4: And you've said, It you've been talking about. It he's
- 35:21Speaker 4: gonna Have he's gonna have a really good. SEASON i
- 35:23Speaker 4: think he is. TOO i think this takes a little
- 35:26Speaker 4: pressure off, him and, Understandably New york is a tough
- 35:29Speaker 4: place to. PLAY i thought he had an excellent year last,
- 35:31Speaker 4: year but this is kind of, like let's turn the,
- 35:35Speaker 4: page forget about everything. Else the drama is. Over i'm
- 35:38Speaker 4: ready to go with another team and go out and,
- 35:41Speaker 4: bang AND i think he's gonna do even better than
- 35:44Speaker 4: what he did with The, Yankees AND i think he's
- 35:46Speaker 4: with an organization that's not gonna ask him to.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Do too, much do They they want a lot out of.
- 35:51Speaker 4: Them but at the same, time just be yourself and
- 35:54Speaker 4: we're gonna see a lot of good things From.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Glabor sometimes past past for performance is more pressure than
- 36:03Speaker 1: outside outside, distractions like the fact that what this dude
- 36:08Speaker 1: did With glebay did in his second full season in the,
- 36:12Speaker 1: show like that was what was. Expected so you're always
- 36:16Speaker 1: as a player looking, back, like, ah how DO i
- 36:19Speaker 1: get back? There how DO i get back? There to
- 36:20Speaker 1: me thirty pumps With. DETROIT i think it's gonna be
- 36:24Speaker 1: the same old you, know same struggles if he goes
- 36:27Speaker 1: and does what he did in the. Playoffs it seems
- 36:30Speaker 1: like in the playoffs a year THAT i played with
- 36:32Speaker 1: him in the playoffs in twenty, twenty he did the
- 36:36Speaker 1: same thing.
- 36:37Speaker 5: As he did this. Year in the.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Playoffs he just shortened everything, up started driving the ball
- 36:42Speaker 1: to right center And, CAMERICA i know they move the fences,
- 36:45Speaker 1: in but it's still a big. Park don't try to
- 36:49Speaker 1: drive the ball out of the. Ballpark drive the ball
- 36:51Speaker 1: to right. Center let the riley greens. Run let them
- 36:55Speaker 1: drive you. In Let Parker, meadows who's going to be
- 36:57Speaker 1: hidden in front of you run the basis like you
- 37:01Speaker 1: sit there and you go play that, game and all
- 37:04Speaker 1: of a, sudden those numbers are just going to come
- 37:06Speaker 1: back because he is an elite back to the ball.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Guy if he's not trying to drive the ball too,
- 37:11Speaker 1: much but turning the, page say it right in a,
- 37:14Speaker 1: TWEET i would, say just leave it up. THERE i
- 37:16Speaker 1: don't know who told him to take it, down but
- 37:18Speaker 1: you know, what he said it with his chest.
- 37:20Speaker 5: And then he was, like MAYBE i shouldn't put that out.
- 37:23Speaker 2: There why did he get? Down do you think do
- 37:26Speaker 2: you think that was? Him or do you think someone
- 37:27Speaker 2: else was like, me don't go somebody somebody somebody nexted

- 37:44Speaker 2: It it'd be, like this is like.
- 37:46Speaker 4: They don't watch THE nba as much. Anymore that's why
- 37:49Speaker 4: they always got, opinions, Man that's they always got to say.
- 37:52Speaker 4: Something some things are better left un said in my, Opinion.
- 37:57Speaker 1: So Todd's todd's against, It Todd todd's AND i can appreciate.

- 38:11Speaker 1: was brought up again By, cashman LIKE i want to
- 38:13Speaker 1: hear the, Question, well we heard is the, answer and
- 38:16Speaker 1: not the question of what was Why cashman didn't just
- 38:20Speaker 1: like hop on The Yes network and, goes, guys you
- 38:22Speaker 1: know WHAT i want to. Say you know we traded
- 38:25Speaker 1: for you, know that's that's not how it. Happened but
- 38:28Speaker 1: when we get only the tweet of the, answer that's
- 38:31Speaker 1: how it's read and. Perceived So glabor can be a
- 38:34Speaker 1: little he can be a little pissed about, it but
- 38:36Speaker 1: that's gonna be a nice beard In, toronto In, detroit
- 38:39Speaker 1: by the, way check out that. Beard Once glaber shows
- 38:42Speaker 1: up the spring, training it is going to be tight and.
- 38:45Speaker 2: NICE i want to give props to cash though a
- 38:48Speaker 2: lot of gms would give you the cookie cutter answer of, oh,
- 38:51Speaker 2: yeah you, know we just put this player here in
- 38:54Speaker 2: this player, there and now we'll have a different lineup
- 38:56Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five long While cash actually, said, hey
- 39:00Speaker 2: we asked, him he, said, no he's given us. Insight
- 39:03Speaker 2: that's what fans. Crave tell us what's, happening because otherwise
- 39:07Speaker 2: fans are gonna be, like you made a, Mistake, yanks
- 39:10Speaker 2: you should have switched him, up and they're, like, no we.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Couldn't he said. NO i, MEAN i guess technically can force.
- 39:14Speaker 2: HIM i don't know how that, goes BUT i appreciate.
- 39:17Speaker 2: THAT i do Think todd, father you, know who stirs
- 39:20Speaker 2: the pot with his players sometimes Cash Man cash. Does
- 39:26Speaker 2: he said, this and he's been in the. League he's
- 39:28Speaker 2: got dirt and his cleats in the front, office however
- 39:30Speaker 2: you call that. Right he's got you, know quarter zips
- 39:33Speaker 2: in the, closet however you want to say.
- 39:35Speaker 3: It so.
- 39:37Speaker 2: He called out. Labor remember last year he called Out
- 39:42Speaker 2: John carlow because he's.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Like he's not gonna play.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Much he, actually this is the sneaky one THAT i
- 39:48Speaker 2: haven't talked about. Much he called Out. Judge when last
- 39:52Speaker 2: year OR i guess two years, ago at this point
- 39:54Speaker 2: they don't make the, Playoffs judge wants some things to
- 39:56Speaker 2: change behind the, scenes, right and it was well. Documented
- 40:00Speaker 2: The yankees were getting a little Crag cray with the
- 40:02Speaker 2: analytics crew lead the crowd and Then Cash i'm, paraphrasing
- 40:06Speaker 2: but we can look back to. It at some, POINT
- 40:08Speaker 2: i was talking about how they've had, combos but Like
- 40:10Speaker 2: judge is really talking about, RBIs like he almost tried
- 40:13Speaker 2: to sled, him like, yeah, yeah like he's a. Player
- 40:15Speaker 2: he's talking about these these amateur stats that don't mean
- 40:18Speaker 2: much to us. Anymore there was a slight. THERE i
- 40:21Speaker 2: promise you there was a there was a little. Thing
- 40:24Speaker 2: So i'm okay THAT i like. IT i think it's,
- 40:26Speaker 2: good like say it with your. Chest that's what he
- 40:29Speaker 2: does more than. Most there's probably five to SEVEN gms
- 40:32Speaker 2: maybe less that actually tell it like it is in.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Baseball AND i appreciate the access that we. Get that's
- 40:38Speaker 2: ALL i want to know what's going. On that's HOW
- 40:40Speaker 2: i am as a. Fan tell me what's. Happening why
- 40:42Speaker 2: do you? Disagree Why why Is judge calling you out?
- 40:45Speaker 2: Right tell me what you? Think and he's, like, YEAH
- 40:47Speaker 2: i think that he's behind the times because he's talking
- 40:50Speaker 2: to me about batting average AND RBIs and the game
- 40:52Speaker 2: is just not there, anymore and that's not how we evaluate. Players, okay,
- 40:55Speaker 2: COOL i want to hear about.
- 40:56Speaker 4: That, Yeah and you, KNOW i think back the example for,
- 41:00Speaker 4: myself my dad used to call me out when all
- 41:03Speaker 4: of a SUDDEN i wasn't playing, RIGHT i wasn't giving
- 41:06Speaker 4: it one hundred percent. EFFORT i know it's totally. Different
- 41:09Speaker 4: but you know YOUR gm calling you. OUT i, mean
- 41:12Speaker 4: do you take that personal or do you do you
- 41:14Speaker 4: take that? Constructively so that's that's the happy medium you
- 41:18Speaker 4: got to figure. Out it's very unheard. Of but at
- 41:21Speaker 4: the same, time you know his behind is on the line.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Too he picked you up and now it's, like all,
- 41:27Speaker 4: right show me what you. Got So i'm sure gms
- 41:29Speaker 4: want to do that with a lot of, players but
- 41:31Speaker 4: you know they expect some of their bigger players to
- 41:33Speaker 4: step up and handle some. Business so's it is what it.
- 41:37Speaker 4: Is some juice is, good but most of it can
- 41:39Speaker 4: just stay out of the.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Limelight scott is one of the biggest baseball fans there.
- 41:45Speaker 5: Is me And.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Todd we, played so we saw the inner. Workings we're
- 41:50Speaker 1: still all ignorant to what goes on in the front.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Office and so to, me if you're going to look
- 41:57Speaker 1: and listen to see how somebody does. It whether you
- 42:01Speaker 1: Think cashman's just.
- 42:02Speaker 5: Eh you, Know i'm almost on my way.
- 42:04Speaker 1: OUT i can say WHATEVER i, want no think HE
- 42:08Speaker 1: i think he morphs and and has transformed in his,
- 42:11Speaker 1: career AND i know he has because he's told.
- 42:13Speaker 5: Me he's, LIKE i can't be.
- 42:14Speaker 1: The SAME GM i was when when The boss was,
- 42:18Speaker 1: here when you, know it was the mid two thousands
- 42:22Speaker 1: and we're getting all these. Guys he's, Like i've had to,
- 42:26Speaker 1: change and he, has and he's done a great. Job
- 42:29Speaker 1: SO i think sometimes when a guy with that much
- 42:33Speaker 1: experience and that much success in the front office putting
- 42:37Speaker 1: a really good team on the field that almost always
- 42:39Speaker 1: makes the, playoffs you kind of have to, listen like
- 42:42Speaker 1: whether or not you think he's made good moves or,
- 42:44Speaker 1: not you have to sit there and be, Like, okay
- 42:47Speaker 1: If i'm A, Gm i'm, LIKE i kind of want
- 42:49Speaker 1: to run it Like cashman.
- 42:50Speaker 2: DID i just want to stay on for a few more.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Minutes kratz AND I todd father had to. Dip but
- 42:58Speaker 2: there's a little chatter about how The pirates should have
- 43:02Speaker 2: Signed petlan's, Own, LIKE i, mean can you imagine this
- 43:06Speaker 2: is the world THAT i so badly want to. Create
- 43:09Speaker 2: AND i Know i'm on The pirates a lot this
- 43:10Speaker 2: week About sken's extension and all, that And Spencer horwitz
- 43:13Speaker 2: is going to play first base for them and that's,
- 43:15Speaker 2: fine but, man that's What i'm looking. For CAN i
- 43:22Speaker 2: get one of? Those one? Time and how much could
- 43:24Speaker 2: it change the complexion of a franchise like? That it
- 43:27Speaker 2: could bault them into the, playoffs it could make them
- 43:29Speaker 2: a lot more. Money but the risk for the ownership
- 43:31Speaker 2: side is, well what if it? Doesn't and what IF
- 43:33Speaker 2: i only pocket fifty this year instead of or you,
- 43:37Speaker 2: know thirty instead of, fifty you know or whatever that number?
- 43:40Speaker 3: Is?
- 43:40Speaker 2: Right, like how AM i going to feed the? Family
- 43:42Speaker 2: how AM i going to distribute those? Checks doll the
- 43:44Speaker 2: rest of the. Nuttings that's the part that bothers me
- 43:49Speaker 2: THAT i just can't get, over, Right like WHEN i
- 43:52Speaker 2: get those questions on, SOCIALS i die a little bit
- 43:55Speaker 2: inside because that city deserves. It it's not the only.
- 43:59Speaker 2: City we've crushed The. Mariners i've praised The, diamondbacks The.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Padres Right, like there's good and bad, Situations but it
- 44:06Speaker 2: just comes up in the chat And i'm, like, Yes,
- 44:08Speaker 2: Pee alonzo to The. Pirates it would have been the
- 44:11Speaker 2: perfect fit this.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Offseason there's a few teams and so count, yourself Lucky pirates.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Fans if you're gonna, roast if you're gonna Roast scottie
- 44:20Speaker 1: for something he says about. You but, like there's a
- 44:23Speaker 1: few teams that should not have Signed Pete. Alonzo any
- 44:28Speaker 1: team that has a really good first, Baseman i'm fine
- 44:30Speaker 1: with you not Signing Pete. Alonzo The rockies should not
- 44:34Speaker 1: Sign Pee, Alonzo The marlins should not Sign Pee, alonzo
- 44:37Speaker 1: and The White sox should. Not if The pirates do,
- 44:40Speaker 1: that how that changes their. Trajectory it's not crazy, change
- 44:46Speaker 1: but it's going to change it in the fact, That,
- 44:48Speaker 1: okay now a few other guys start having better seasons
- 44:52Speaker 1: because they're Not Brian reynolds is not the number one
- 44:55Speaker 1: guy in the lineup that teams have to. Face so
- 44:57Speaker 1: it just changes the dynamic of teams because he can
- 45:01Speaker 1: change it that. Much he can change those teams that.
- 45:04Speaker 2: Much thank. You it's one, player it's one. Signing it
- 45:11Speaker 2: obviously matters what he does on the, fields but it
- 45:13Speaker 2: also signifies where you're at as a. Franchise Jason worth
- 45:18Speaker 2: signing gets brought up a lot for The. Nationals back
- 45:20Speaker 2: then it was a.
- 45:22Speaker 5: Reach it, worked but it.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Worked who cares that they? Overpaid they made it. Back
- 45:29Speaker 2: that team was good for a, while AND i get.
- 45:31Speaker 2: It they also had top. Picks you get that if you're,
- 45:33Speaker 2: tanking you already get. That for the most. Part let's Lap.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Kratz there was an article IN cbs about favorite offseason.
- 45:58Speaker 2: Moves they just kind of kicked it around the, Writers
- 46:00Speaker 2: So i'll name a few that they, liked because some
- 46:03Speaker 2: of them were high up on my.
- 46:04Speaker 3: LIST. R.
- 46:06Speaker 2: J anderson, SAID i loved the race signing Of Hassan. Kim,
- 46:09Speaker 2: YEAH i, mean If kim's in good shape coming off the,
- 46:12Speaker 2: SHOULDER i mean that is definitely a good. Value Matt
- 46:16Speaker 2: Snyder cubs trading For Kyle, tucker And Dan perry said
- 46:19Speaker 2: diamondback Signing Corbyn, BURNS i mean position player and pitcher,
- 46:23Speaker 2: wise those are probably my top two. ACQUISITIONS i, mean
- 46:27Speaker 2: Obviously soto for The mets stands, out but super expensive
- 46:30Speaker 2: and all. THAT i Think tucker could probably put the
- 46:35Speaker 2: or finally put The cubs back over the hump to
- 46:37Speaker 2: be a playoff, contender BECAUSE i do think he's a.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Star what do you think favorite off season? Move it
- 46:43Speaker 2: could be under the, radar but it could be one
- 46:45Speaker 2: of the big boy.
- 46:45Speaker 5: Ones besides The.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Marlins Giving Michael brantley a minor league a minor league
- 46:51Speaker 1: big league camp invite with a minor League deal's that's
- 46:54Speaker 1: my favorite offseason. Move BUT i Told michael BRANT i
- 46:56Speaker 1: mean Not Michael, Brandley.
- 46:59Speaker 5: Rob. BRANTLEY i, Said Michael brantley's.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Retired what do you talk, About.
- 47:03Speaker 5: No Rob, brantley the.
- 47:05Speaker 1: CATCHER i told Him i'd say that on the show
- 47:07Speaker 1: at some, Point so it was a perfect. TIME i
- 47:09Speaker 1: love The tucker. MOVE i thought The tucker move was
- 47:12Speaker 1: the best move in the sense of like an overall,
- 47:15Speaker 1: Trade like, wow that is awesome that The cubs did,
- 47:19Speaker 1: it what they gave away for. It they're, like this
- 47:22Speaker 1: is a huge impact for. US i think The burns
- 47:25Speaker 1: to The, diamondbacks, though helps a team more than any
- 47:29Speaker 1: move That i've seen for free agency. WISE i feel
- 47:33Speaker 1: like that is like he makes a fringe playoff. TEAM i,
- 47:38Speaker 1: think take that next step that already has. STARS i
- 47:41Speaker 1: was debated between that and The crochet. Trade The Garrett
- 47:44Speaker 1: crochet trade was just it was a team we wanted
- 47:48Speaker 1: to see do, something.
- 47:49Speaker 5: And they did.
- 47:50Speaker 1: IT i just don't think it pushes The Red sox
- 47:52Speaker 1: as far as The burns pushes The.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Diamondbacks, yeah it could make The diamondbacks really dangerous for
- 47:57Speaker 2: an Upset kratz hats with twenty seconds go what do you?
- 48:00Speaker 5: Got that's probably been awful on me a little.
- 48:05Speaker 1: Bit this is the spring training hat for The, mets
