00:00:03 Speaker 1: We're here. This is actually the last show for a minute for mister Pizinski, not for Repti, but for mister Prizinski. And it's a good reminder to give the show schedule for next week. But we will see you after today on November No me December one, November December one. Wow, that feels weird to say December first. Yeah, it's good reminder though to everyone. I mean, we're still running the rest of the week. Next week, we'll do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. No live show on Thanksgiving, no live show on Friday. You know how we like to clip up segments show off some of the other FT Network shows, So we'll do stuff like that, but you won't see us live for those two days, and stay tuned for some Winter Meetings. News people ask us about the last couple of years. I don't want to give everything away yet, but I think very promising that we will have some fun during the Winter Meetings in person. Do you know where they are this year? I do in Orlando, Ah, in Orlando, our backyard. 00:01:10 Speaker 2: They are. They're right, they're a Disney well not in Disney, but they're by Disney. 00:01:15 Speaker 1: Will you hang at the bar to say hi? To everyone. 00:01:17 Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna probably end up over there a lot. I just nobody does that anymore. Though. Nobody goes to the bar and just sits around. 00:01:25 Speaker 1: I remember agree the writers and media and proc. 00:01:29 Speaker 2: But none, none of the people from the teams do. 00:01:32 Speaker 1: The jibs are in the Sweet Slash Bunkers the entire time. 00:01:36 Speaker 2: You're lucky if you see them. 00:01:38 Speaker 1: Also if they come out, what happens? Have you seen this before years back? 00:01:42 Speaker 2: But they also get attacked by not the media, but the people looking for jobs. That's I mean, they get problem. It's unbelievable. I had never been until I don't know, I don't know how many years ago. They've been in Orlando a few times, and I've been a couple of times, and I never realized how many people just sit there wait for and just yes, and they just and if they see you, like they see me and recognize me and they're like, hey, can you introduce me to who what? I'm like? No, like, no, I can't, No. 00:02:14 Speaker 1: I can't. There are tons of aspiring workers in the industry who attend there's a job fair. There's a lot on the minor league side that happens, which is important. So if you're trying to crack baseball, usually the minor leagues is the best way to go. Yes, they do have opportunities there where minor league gms or whatever the in front offices they're calling them. They will meet with students and recent grads. 00:02:41 Speaker 2: People forget the minor leagues are at the Winter meetings too. People think it's just the big leagues, But the minor leagues have their own like wing basically, or they do their own thing right, and then they chill products off, and then they do the home then they do the big league side, which what everyone kind of talks about. But this is not just for Major League Baseball. It's kind of for all of baseball. The one thing I had professional baseball, I should right all pro baseball crats. 00:03:04 Speaker 1: I would tell this to kids when I came across them when I was there. I'm like, I'll talk to you, I'll do whatever, I kind of help you. But you're talking to the wrong people. I'm like, you're in the wrong area. You're talking to the broadcasters. Right when I was at MLB at the time, I'm like, you're talking to broadcasters. I'm like, you're trying to work in a front office. We got almost nothing for you here. I'm like, minor league sections over there, go work for a team, dominate over there, you'll be in an affiliated you know, pro program, and then you can work your way up. I'm like, if you want to work in TV, talk to us. If you don't, don't talk to us, don't waste your time. 00:03:38 Speaker 3: I can't imagine how many people are. I went to the end of the winter meetings one time when it was in Nashville. I flew in. I helped a guy pedal one of his products to the trainers because it was a new like medical product thing, and then I flew back out and all the people were leaving that day because the trainers come at the end and then they have their own little bats reunion stuff and everything, and there were so many people. I forget Grand old Opry. I think it is where I flew into where they had it. It was so many people. I can't imagine. When it's like everybody crazy. 00:04:15 Speaker 1: It's crazy. And yeah, it does get very busy around the lobby. Anyway, we'll talk more about it as it gets closer, but by the time AJ's back, it will be a week away from that time. Period. 00:04:26 Speaker 2: And also there's there's it's a crazy time here in Orlando because there's two celebrity golf tournaments and the Winter Meetings at the same time, and it's a pretty part and they're all pretty close to each other. 00:04:36 Speaker 1: Yes, pretty popular time for people to come down to Orlando in general. 00:04:40 Speaker 2: Well not really because of our school. 00:04:43 Speaker 1: Well for kids right not at the parks, but it's warm. Sometimes people adult wise will come down. 00:04:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, because the parks. That's like the least between Thanksgiving and Christmas. That like three week time is kind of a weird time because everyone's either getting back from Thanksgiving and the of those three weeks until Christmas hits, or they're waiting for Christmas to come down. Because now, if you go to Disney in those parks, Sea World and Universal and all that between about a week before Christmas till New Year's good, look, you better better hire yourself a guide. 00:05:14 Speaker 1: Wait till the hot time right after Thanksgiving is when I should consider going. 00:05:18 Speaker 2: Yes, usually because that's when quiet attendance is down. Okay, take I mean you still you know, if you're going to Disney, you're still looking at I think one hundred and eighty dollars a ticket, I just for one day, but I. 00:05:29 Speaker 1: Just don't want the line situation. So I'm just whenever you can go where there are less children. And I'm not talking about Disney, more universal for me. 00:05:37 Speaker 2: I haven't been so I haven't been to the Epic. I gotta get to Epic. 00:05:39 Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, there was this trade that was super interesting last night. Let's charge them out, charge them out. I see Taylor Ward moved over from the Angels to the Orioles. Okay, Orioles looking for more power in the outfields. They get a guy who will be there for a rental one season. And then I see who goes back on the other end, Grayson Rodriguez going back to the Angels. So this is a big leaguer for big league or deal. I was shocked that they essentially gave up on Grayson Rodriguez, who has top end stuff when he's healthy. You didn't pitch this past season. What do you think of this deal? 00:06:22 Speaker 2: I don't understand it from the Orioles side of it, I don't you're getting a one. You're giving up a guy who has four years of control. And Grayson, now he's been hurt, he missed all the year but when he's healthy, he could be a two to three starter for you. And what did the Orioles not have last year starting pitching? So why would you give up on a guy who you developed? You got it all the way through. And yes, I know he's hurt, but they know the medicals better than anybody. They should know that if he's healthy or not. So they trade him for Taylor Ward in an already crowded outfield they have, I mean, because they don't stuff forget, they have O'Neill, right, and then Kobe Mayo wherever he figures out to play. You got her Stead, You got a lot of guys Mountcastle, whatever they're gonna do with him, I mean, there's a lot of guys Westburg, wherever he ends up. I mean, there's a lot of guys for a lot of spots, and Tyler and O'Neill's got to be one of your I mean, sorry, Taylor Ward's got to be one of your guys that plays all the time. Then you probably lose DH to Basayo our first base when Adley and him are gonna go back and forth catching DH first basey. So he just got crowded really fast. But the Orioles need pitching, Like I'd be like, this guy's on a minimum contract and the things the upside is too good. 00:07:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's not costing you much right now. Kratz. Sure, Taylor Ward nice player. I would say, top five streakiest players in the big league. So when he's hot, he's sizzling hot. To me, it's almost like Justin Upton status, like a diet version of that back when he played. He'd get all his numbers in like a month or two's time. Because Taylor Ward can blow up in April and then fall apart in May and June, so there will be some ups and down set that's part of his game. That's fine. I just am looking at Baltimore like, can we get rid of a a ball prospect for a move like this? I think you need ten twelve pitchers as part of your forty man that you feel comfortable starting games for you. And Grayson Rodriguez has the one two three upside potential. They must have looked at the medicals and the Baltimore Orioles team. Doctors have been known to flunk free agents and said, ah, we should quit on him. Here's the problem. Kratz they're often wrong. 00:08:26 Speaker 3: Yeah, but here's the other problem. You can you can say I'm a little scared about free agents. I'm a little scared about you know, a thirty year old guy signing him to a four year, five year contract. They just flunked Jeff Hoffman. This is not that. This is a guy who, yeah, he hasn't pitched in a year, I mean since August of twenty three, No, August of twenty four, Like you missed a over a year of time. I get that. But this isn't a free agent. This is a young pitcher who, let's say even has another year of injuries. You would never want that, and you're like you would you wouldn't think a guy would continually get hurt, but it happens. He's a one year arbitration every year for the next four years, and you still have that. This isn't This isn't like failing a free agent. So if they use the same idea, I think I think this is a miss. I think this is a miss because you can't get this is great for the Angels, but you can't give up young starting pitching that has potential, give up some of your minor league. 00:09:33 Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. 00:09:34 Speaker 3: Rogers did an amazing job. You know, Tyler Wells came back and was awesome. Bradish was awesome. Like, it's okay to have extra, It's okay to have six to seven starters that are gonna be in your in your in your rotation for the season because they're not all going to stay healthy. 00:09:54 Speaker 1: Holiday shopping season is here and we have you covered from head to toe. 00:10:02 Speaker 3: Let's take to talk about an area that's not quite close to the toes. Let's get crazy with this holiday season. Yeah, that's me Undies. I'm spinning around, but the holiday season. Now you can get me undies with some holiday prints on them. 00:10:14 Speaker 1: That's right, ridiculously soft fabric holiday prints, matching holiday prints with your special person. Or you can coordinate pjs for the family photo. And right now you can get up to fifty percent off with the code foul. We rock me Undies. You should too. We're talking over thirty million pairs sold. Knock out all your holiday gifting needs today with me Undies. To get exclusive holiday deals up to yep I said at fifty percent off, go to meundies dot com, slash foul and enter promo code foul that's m e U N d I E s dot com slash f o U L promo code foul for up to fifty percent off. 00:10:56 Speaker 2: This just doesn't make sense to me. 00:10:57 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, it's it's not the fact. 00:11:00 Speaker 2: Like, look, if you want to trade Grayson Rodriguez and you feel like you may maybe he might not pitch again, he might never stay healthy, but you would think you'd want to get something controllable back. But Taylor Ward's got one year and then he's a free agent. This is Corvin Burns all over again. Right. But again, the Oriols are supposed to have all these prospects position player wise, So why are they trading one of their areas of need a pitcher, especially a starting pitcher, for a guy that when they're supposed to have all these surefire prospects that they wouldn't trade for years. 00:11:30 Speaker 1: The development process to me, has been strange krats At times, there's not an opening for some of those players that have been highly touted, and then they often have them playing a billion different positions in the minor leagues, which was part of what Jason Lackepora mentioned the other day on the Orioles to Do list segment that we did, and there were mixed reviews on that segment, but I will say Jason was pretty spot on with just about everything he said regarding the Orioles this year. Are we hard on them? 00:11:54 Speaker 3: Yes? 00:11:55 Speaker 1: Why because they tanked for half a decade and then didn't get enough out of it. So I think you should be hard on your ball club if you went through that kind of pain. One funny comment after the tweet was posted last night about the trade from a fan said, anytime you're a team in need of a controllable young starter, you move one of the few you have to acquire a sixteenth thoutfielder. That's a little harsh, but here's thirty. You gotta make that deal. 00:12:20 Speaker 2: But here's here's the here's their here's their outfielders. Dylan Beavers first round pick for him, high prospect, Colton Kowser, who we've talked about for years, Tyler O'Neill who they signed to a big deal, Leoti Taveres okay backup, and then Jeremiah Jackson wherever he is. Yeah, which one of those guys? The center fielder Colton Cawser, I guess gonna play center for you? 00:12:42 Speaker 1: Marique Bradfield when he comes up at some point. 00:12:45 Speaker 2: Okay, so then why do you trade for for Taylor Ward? 00:12:48 Speaker 1: Explain to playing the corner you atoon, but to. 00:12:52 Speaker 2: With who platoon. You're not trading for Taylor Ward if he's platooning. I'm sorry. 00:12:57 Speaker 1: I think there's a world where a lot of his AB's are coming against left handed pitching. 00:13:02 Speaker 2: No, okay, there's not that. I mean, no offense, there's not that many. That's fours. 00:13:07 Speaker 1: I mean his numbers were not great against righty and. 00:13:09 Speaker 2: You're gonna pay thirteen point seven million, which he's projected in arbitration flor a platoon guy. Then this trade just got even worse. 00:13:16 Speaker 1: Let me explain what Michael Liyas likes to do. He wants to build more of what you saw from far Anxiety in the Dodgers world ten years ago. It's platoons, it's everyone can play just about everywhere network out not well, I'm just explaining what they're doing. I don't I don't agree with what they've been doing. Last year. I destroyed their moves, destroyed them, took a lot of crap for it. They spent money. This has nothing to do with money spending right now, let's shove that aside. Should they be going after premieer guys, did you think that was going to happen? Yes, but that's not realistic right now? Right this kind of move, krat tells you they're not in their running for Kyle Tucker. But with what they are doing, I disagree. I just disagree. They think they got to hear right, you did the tank, the rebuild, You got good talent. Putting that last part together is the most difficult thing to do in baseball, and it's what makes someone like Dave Dombrowski so successful and put his titles together, right, Alex Anthopolis and others who go for it and know how to put the finishing touches on. I think they're lacking there. 00:14:16 Speaker 3: We're I mean, we can talk about Michael Lias's moves last year in the outfield this year. We can talk about that all offseason. Today's the trade. So what are they getting from Taylor Ward? You cannot platoon if you are platooning him. What AJ said, thirteen point seven million is what he's projected to make. An arbitration, like you're not paying any You're not even paying the most elite platoon advantage guy that money. I mean, he had five hundred and seventy nine at bats last year. He was an everyday player, thirty six homers, one hundred and four stakes. You are, that's all you're getting because the defense is not great, the base running is well below average, and you can't, like you need to get full value from this. And I don't think this is where there's value for this team unless they're sitting there going, I know, we gave Tyler O'Neil forty nine million, forty nine and a half million dollars. We need to make sure we have somebody in case he goes down when he's you know, when he takes his time off. Like I don't understand. I don't understand this at all. But you cannot play him at a three point fifty to four hundred that back clip, because then you lose everything. You lose his counting stats, his home runs and RBIs is what he's going to bring to this team. 00:15:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's not enough lefties. If you're just gonna platoona that's that's that's an awful thing. But I just because I don't normally look at I mean I do look at rosters and we talk about. But so I looked at the Orioles depth chart. You know, their roster basically for their starting guys. Have you guys ever seen Samuel Basaillo in person? Yester? No, okay, you know what he's listed as on their on their roster. I know they don't say outfielder. No, no, no. He's listed as catcher behind athlete and DH behind Mountcastle. But do you know I'm talking about his weight? You know what his height and weight is listed at. 00:16:08 Speaker 1: I know he's like six'. Five what what do they, have. 00:16:13 Speaker 2: Mane he hasn't seen what eighty in a long. Time i'm. Sorry that's like them Saying Salve perez is one eighty, Right LIKE i, MEAN i weigh way more than one, eighty. Right And i've stood next To basayo and he is bigger THAN i. Am he is. Fooled he is Salvad. 00:16:31 Speaker 3: Operez the one TIME i saw, him the one TIME i saw, him He's Salvado. Press Now Salvi's salvi's much. Bigger now he's lifted a lot more, legs and But salvi's SAL i was gonna, say there's no Way basio's under two fifty and there's no way he's less than, me monstrous young. 00:16:52 Speaker 1: Man, okay so one more thing in The oils THAN i want to finish with The. Angels now on The baltimore, SIDE i, mean the lineup's pretty much. Set they're not trading most of these. Guys they're young under team, control, Right jacksonaaldy at, Second Jordan westberg at, Third gunner at. Short you would Think mayo at. First, outfield we went over plenty, Already adlee a, catcher And pasio mixing in there. TOO i, mean the lineup's pretty much. 00:17:18 Speaker 2: Set but that's why the Tailor ward doesn't make. Sense, YEAH i want they had to give up because BECAUSE i look at it like this, again who's gonna play center? Field Leotis taveras are they, signed so they're not gonna go out and get someone. Else can you Run Colton cowser out? There no for center field every? Day so then he's got to go to a, corner, right and then that takes it bats away from somebody else because you have O'Neill who's signed to a long term, deal and now you Have Taylor ward who's got to play, right and then you gotta Put cowser, somewhere and you gotta Have pasio. Somewhere you gotta Have mountcastle. Somewhere so there's got to be something else coming down the, pipe you would. Think so there's got to be a trade coming somewhere down the down that we haven't heard about. Yet that's coming That michael ISAs is gonna have to clear clear up some. Space but you want to talk about The. Angels this is absolutely. Wonderful if you're The, angels you get a controllable starting pitcher who has a huge upside for league minimum for four, years and you clear thirteen point seven off your books off a Guy kinnor M kratz said that can he can, hit but everything else is not. Great he's a good, player but he's not you, know he's not a great. Player where you're, like this is a franchise changing. 00:18:21 Speaker 1: Guy, no he was gone after this year anything, so but. 00:18:23 Speaker 2: You get a guy you can control for four years. Control this is a great deal for The. 00:18:27 Speaker 1: Angels they've been looking for guys like, this. 00:18:29 Speaker 2: They've been looking for people to take deals like, this and The orioles are, like pick. 00:18:32 Speaker 1: Us, YEAH i love, It, KRATS i love the. Risk is there a chance That grayson just can't get his arm figured out long. Term sure there's a, chance but how often have we seen it where a guy goes through some injury issues early in his. Career grayson's twenty, six and then he takes off the? Stuff is there with? Upside in my? Mind, right we haven't seen all of the potential tapped. In let's not Forget i'll use an. Example Trek skool went through quite a few injuries early in his. Career tell Me, jones he didn't blossom in five. Minutes just throwing that out, there not saying they're the same, picture But i'm saying there's significant upside. Here AND i thought it was a steal of a deal to take on a lottery ticket like that THAT i think has a good chance of becoming something. 00:19:12 Speaker 3: SPECIAL i want to know other teams that were, like, wait why couldn't we have gotten in? There like like the thing about The phillies going up north if they want an. Outfielder Nick costiani's, like, hey we'll pay down everything to thirteen point. Seven you're gonna Have Nick costianis For Grayson. Rodriguez, LIKE i don't see any team that says MAN i don't want a controllable starter for four years with some. Risk every picture has. Risk at two years of, service two years into your big league, career everybody has. Risk you have no idea who's gonna stay healthy and who's not unless there's something catastrophically wrong in. THERE i have a hard time believing this doesn't work out really well for The. 00:19:53 Speaker 1: Angels i'm with, you and we're gonna talk To Grayson rodriguez On Friday. 00:20:02 Speaker 3: FRIDAY i believe it is possibly if The powers getting. 00:20:08 Speaker 1: A live update on when he might join. Us, okay Maybe friday For Grayson rodriguez to talk about this. Deal and for, me this is a precursor to An orioles off season That i'm going to feel a little wishy washy. About they have to remake their entire, bullpen AND i don't trust that they're going to get an, ace which is what they have needed. THERE Aj we're going to do things a little bit differently. HERE i am wearing the perfect gene AND i remember seeing ads for the perfect gene like most comfortable fit, ever perfect fit on your, body AND i was, Like i'm not buying.

Wise you have some saying no way he's going to hit that home. Run total In, baltimore Like jamin pointing out the one thousand foot left field wall that's moved. Back it's a little. 00:21:45 Speaker 2: Different they've changed it. 00:21:47 Speaker 1: Now uh. Huh still not easy though that it's still pretty far back. There let's see how. Things kasar is going to be, moved along With, malcastle who might be non tendered by the way On. Friday maybe thinks That mayo gets. Moved that's a lot of. MOVES i don't think all of those guys get. Moved maybe one of. Them you have some thinking that The oils know more About grace And i'm, like, yes and no medicals get shared. Again baltimore is very strict on that. Part, Maybe and, yes he hasn't had full On Tommy john surgery. YET i understand that. 00:22:22 Speaker 3: Even if he misses next, year even if he misses this season because he Gets Tommy john, surgery you still have. Him he's still controllable after. 00:22:32 Speaker 1: That And. 00:22:36 Speaker 3: Arty, moreno never wants to get four years into a into a free agent. Pitcher SO. C. J wilson killed him for that. 00:22:44 Speaker 2: One SO i DON'T i don't get. 00:22:47 Speaker 1: It, Yeah So i'm mentioning maybe they would Give ward a qualifying offer that's really looking ahead and take. It, yeah, yeah take. It you're about to get into. That but you can't just hand those out like you used. To players are fighting. 00:23:04 Speaker 2: Back it's twenty two. Million it's almost twice of what he's. Making. 00:23:08 Speaker 1: Now this is a, perfect perfect topic here shaking it up the player's, side the agency side, saying, OH i see you qualifying. OFFER i understand the point of the qualifying, offer AND i am going to accept. It we saw four acceptances nine no's pretty obvious nose skuys Like Kyle. Tucker But Brandon Woodriff Showta, Inmanaga Trent, grisham And glaber Torres all said yes to a one year contract for about twenty two million. Dollars so they are locked in and. Signed they won't have those qualifying offers attached to them after this. Season and in the past there have been one hundred and forty four qualifying offers extended depending free, agents only fourteen. Acceptances so this was a. Lot AND i want to start the conversation by saying That i've spoken a multiple agent and they think it absolutely destroys mid level free agents like this in free. Agency so that is why you're getting more of these yes is, quote bite the bullet for twenty two million. DOLLARS i think most people will take, that and then you can have a proven year and then not have that attached to you because it really burns free. Agents look At Nick pavetta last. 00:24:19 Speaker 2: Year, Yeah, Martinez Nick martinez one. 00:24:22 Speaker 1: Year, well and he Took he took it because he was. 00:24:24 Speaker 2: Smart musten this is WHAT i. Said we talked about. It at one point we were, LIKE i don't know if anybody's going to take. This and then as the more we talked about, it all these names were kind of names Yesterday Cody Cody stavenhagen's Like Labor torres might take. It we were, like wait what because you would think he'd be able to get a two or three or four year deal left because he had a good. Year and Then shoto was one because he gets one year twenty two, million, right and then we're, like Wholl Trent, grisham you know he's had one good year because the two or three years before that weren't very. Good so the all four of these guys make sense taking these qualifying. Offers it's just a lot to see them all. Take and Then Big wu, obviously because you know he's coming off injury and they're, like he's, like, WAIT i can go back To milwaukee WHERE i get twenty two. Million uh, yeah sign me. 00:25:06 Speaker 1: Up, yeah because that can be first of, all and. 00:25:08 Speaker 2: Then you can use this to bounce and then you can't get. One you can't get. 00:25:11 Speaker 1: One So woodriff had a nice fuller season looking like he did for a flash of twenty twenty. Five, yeah he's gonna get paid and he's not going to have to deal with that. Attachment it is a real problem in free. Agency it is used heavily against the. Players draft picks are highly. Coveted it's a. Pain same For Labor. Torres Labor torres is not even twenty nine, yet turning twenty nine next. Month so if he goes out and has another solid year like he just, did then he can get his multi year. 00:25:37 Speaker 3: Contract, obviously if this is a lot of, ifs you, know if the guy it all depends on if the guy goes out and get has a great, year which every player plans on. Doing but one THING i think is kind of funny about all these guys what they were projected to get in free. Agency they were all in that forty to fifty million dollar, range and that that competitive draft, pick that draft pick that's that's locked to them really demeans their. Value and each of these guys showed a big. Woo they're thirty, two they'll be thirty three when the hit free. Agency even if they get a two year contract after this, season and they would have gotten a three year this. Offseason but if they get a two year contract after this, season all they have to do is make thirty million dollars and they're already passing what they're projected was for this. Season SO i Think glab's the one that really surprised me, here but they were all right in. 00:26:33 Speaker 2: That Trent. 00:26:34 Speaker 3: Grisham Trent grisham's like multiplying what he the most he's ever made by almost three times as much as he ever he's ever made in a. Season so to, me it's a no brainer if he was only going to get a four year deal now after this he'll be thirty after this. Season he can still get a four year deal and he's already got essentially twenty two million dollars that he made for this. Season that you can, say, okay now you don't what would it have been. That he made way. More so it's always better to go year to, year and teams love year to, year so we got to keep pushing this qualifying, up qualifying offer up more and. 00:27:09 Speaker 1: More The Trent grisham one was the biggest shock to me when it was handed. 00:27:14 Speaker 2: Out, YEAH i was surprised they would they gave. IT i was. 00:27:17 Speaker 1: Shocked he doubled his home run. Total it's been a nice player as more of a fourth outfield, option and he blew up this past. Season but then the league started adjusting to his adjustments as the year went, on and his defense is not like it used to. Be so nice, player twenty two million dollar player not in my, mind do The yankees? Care, actually, yes nowadays they do. 00:27:40 Speaker 2: Care that might be a that actually if IT'S i don't know where they said luxury tax, wise but it could be a twenty two or thirty or forty million dollar, player right because it's depending on where they land in a luxury. Tax so, YEAH i think they do. CARE i think. THEY i don't know that The cubs were surprised at Him. ANAGA i don't know The brewers were, tries BUT i think The yankees maybe we're a little surprised That christiaan picked this. Up, well maybe The tigers were a little Surprised glaber picked this. Up but the teams also look at it like this and, say we're gonna lock the players out one year. Deal they're off the books and we can start. Over and then if we have a salary, camp which they all, WANT i mean the cap team and the owner's team they all. Want we all know they want a salary. Cap so they're going to, say, well that's twenty two million off our books and we can they can walk and try to find somewhere. 00:28:28 Speaker 1: ELSE i actually look at it on the other, end, right If I'm Tran, Grisham i'm going to get punished for the qualifying. Offer my defense is not like it used to. BE i could be looked at as a. FLUKE i could be looked at as the league adjusting to you know what he, did, RIGHT i was looking hands further. Away then league adjusts a lot of breaking pitches that he wasn't hitting later in the. Year so that's all going to be used against you when you don't have a solid track. Record, right he wasn't going to get twenty two million dollars on an average annual value on them year contract, like no, Way, Okay so let's say he signed a three year. Contract if you really believe that there's going to be significant lockout time, missed you're already knocking out one of those. Seasons so now it's really a two year, contract, Right and how much is your average annual value versus just being, like damn not a twenty two million dollar. Player But i'll take that for a. Year see what happens after, that because this year you're playing the full, season, right we don't have lockout concerns until the year after. That so, yeah for, Me, KRATZ i WAS i was shocked that that was given out by The, yanks also due to the fact THAT i think they still want to try and go after A. Bellinger Kyle tucker starts to crowd up the outfield a little. Bit you've Got Jason. Dominguez If Spencer, jones you, know breaks out or continues to break out and is the real deal in the major, leagues you're going to run out of. Spots John carlo is still there for YOUR dh, position WHICH i think clogs things up as good as he. Is. Right If judge goes through an. Issue it gets complicated for The. Yankees they dealt with that last. 00:29:58 Speaker 3: Year how much of these numbers were where he was hitting in the lineup in front of THE Mvp Aaron. Judge how much of this spike was that like good, pool left handed, hitter able to get, like you know, what he's always been somebody that controls the strike zone very. Well now it's, like, hey you control the strike, zone take your shot because they're gonna give you middle, middle because they are not going to walk you on purpose to pitch to. Judge so to, me took advantage of. That his defensive, metrics defensive front saved outs above average are all in the. Negatives this year he stole three, bases WHICH i get. It you're you, know you're hitting in front of your own, base in front of. Judge, hey he can hit you in from where you're at first, base so you stay. Still but LIKE i was surprised they handed it out to, him less surprised that he accepted. 00:30:52 Speaker 1: It officially Official this From Laura, albanize who covers The. Mets they Cut frankie on top designated for As simon. 00:31:01 Speaker 2: Waver and Having Tommy. John, yeah some type of. 00:31:04 Speaker 1: Surgery that's bouncing him. Out, YEAH i think IT'S tj for the rest of for the entire twenty twenty, sixties. 00:31:09 Speaker 2: Listen we. LISTENED i don't Know Frankie montoss at. All praps might know. HIM i don't know, him but we said when The red signed, him wasn't The red who signed him last year The. Reds The red signed him for like fifteen million whatever it, was and he hadn't pitched in almost two. Years i'm, like that's crazy, money right for a guy got your pitch to The brewers and he got traded To. Berwise he did, okay but he never really did. Great and then The mets sent him to a two year like thirty six million dollar deal and then thirty FOUR i, think, well, Whatever, jack thirty something, million thirty four whatever it. Was but he got hurt and he and then when he did, pitch he was, awful and then all of a, sudden he's hurt, Again LIKE i. Didn't you would Think David sertz would have looked at this and, said, Wow, AGAIN i don't Know Frankie. MONTAS i can't judge when people get, hurt but if you just go off his Performance this should have been a one year, deal one year, deal one year. Deal The mets got him for two, years and now they're paying him for two. 00:32:03 Speaker 1: Years that was the most shocking signing last year in terms of how much money was given out to a player with that track. Record it's not like he's been in the league for five. Minutes that was. Insane two, years thirty four million dollars and he could opt out after year one if he performed. Well nine appearances thirty eight, innings six to eighty sixty THREE era. Plus it's not big League calimber. Production he had some injuries mixed in damaged. Goods just telling it like it. Is it has nothing to do with the. PERSONALITY i don't. Care you just don't buy an asset like that on the free agent. Market this was the major mistake that The mets. Made David stearns is what did you say the other? Day one of you guys said it like playing in. 00:32:48 Speaker 2: He's going to the deep. End, yeah he's playing in the kiddie pool still because he thinks he's still In. Milwaukee you're in The mets, now you can go in the deepend and get the big. Boys you can get the adults now like the things he had to. Do and this is what we had this conversation yesterday when we were talking ABOUT i forget what team we, WERE i don't know if maybe The tigers or. Somebody and we were, like, oh they're trying to win on the. Margins like, no like everybody tries to get into the margins and win on the. Margins how about we just try to win with the best, Players like why are we always EVERY gm tries to out smart and be, like, oh look how SMART i am BECAUSE i got this guy AND i saved this money instead of being, like you know, What i'm gonna go get the best players and put them on my team because we can have the best. Team, yeah that's what he. 00:33:29 Speaker 1: Said that's what he. 00:33:30 Speaker 2: Said that's what he. Said that's what he. 00:33:34 Speaker 1: Said All, right there's a lot going on with The Pittsburgh, pirates perfect timing for A pirates dedicated, show, which by the, way is Called Bucco. Territory it's brand, new it's, great it's part of THE Ft. Network but, anyway, yeah you have two things at play, here and we're going to cover both of. Them one is an offer reported To Josh naylor that did not get the job, done but looked substantial if you believe. It the other portion is is that little article that popped up there with an anonymous teammate Of Paul skiing saying how much he can't wait to be A. Yankee so let's start there because they're both tied to each other since some of the other reports that the pirates are trying to really build Around paul skins like they're, changed, right like being in that relationship where they keep Saying i've, changed they claim to be. Changed so first, off let's get. Schemes talking To Dan patrick on his. 00:34:25 Speaker 4: Ship, YEAH i MEAN i was frustrated for a couple hours and then and then you, know kind of got over it and talked to the media later that. Night you, know it is what it. Is there's stuff that's going to come, out you, know good and. Bad it's you, know obviously it's it's not. TRUE i think the hardest part of leading Air force for me, was you, know we had just won a conference, championship the first one in the school's, history and you know didn't and we've been out that and it felt like there was, unfinished you, know work that needed to be. Done so that's how it feels right. Now we're you, KNOW i won the we won the national championship or the conference championship at Air. Force that's that's what is on the horizon for. 00:35:18 Speaker 1: Us we just have to do. 00:35:19 Speaker 4: It and leaving before, that would you, know leave a bad taste in my mouth because there wasn't you, know there was work to be done that we didn't. 00:35:26 Speaker 1: Do what do you think of the. 00:35:30 Speaker 2: Answer there's one major difference Air force versus The. Pirates The pirates are playing in the major. Leagues Air forces is a great school and a GREAT i love THE i love the, military AND i love all, that but they're not playing in the major. Leagues the best players are the. Best they're in the. Conference and, listen congratulations Of paul's, Schemes but he went TO lsu to get paid and to win a national, championship which he did right With Dylan cruz and that whole. Crew, now guess what you're with The. Pirates they're not winning anytime. Soon don't say they're. Trying oh we tried On, joshie Because Ben verlander reported it, right, like, Oh Ben verlonard who works for The Major Leagues baseball tried to report. It it, like, okay so, cool but they were like fifteen million dollars off from Nail or guess. What he was in a place he liked their better. Team they have a chance to. Compete he's not going To. Pittsburgh you have to, overpay thank. You you have to overpay to get people to come To pittsburgh because they don't believe. It they think you're full of. Crap and so then guess. What eventually he's gonna happen to him and he can, Say i'm gona feel like something's unfinished In. Pittsburgh that's, cool finding, Dandy but at the end of the, day they're gonna trade you because they can get four or five pieces back and it's not gonna matter you SAY i want to. STAY i want to stay unless you're Buyron bucks and have a full note trade sign an. Extension you ain't, Staying. Paul And i'm Sorry pirates fans BECAUSE i think you guys deserve, Better but you ain't staying because they're gonna ship you. 00:36:45 Speaker 1: Out are we about to play a game this offseason where The pirates make the s offers to players that falls show with turk. 00:36:53 Speaker 2: School Ball ark school. Ball they're talking about Trading Terrek Scooball Paul, Skans terrek school the two of the best, three two of the if not the two best pitchers in the world right now in baseball right both one Saw young's both talking about being. Traded why why EVERYTHING i see in baseball is doing? Great attendance is of, viewerships of revenues. Up but every team is losing. Money explain that to, Me, scott BECAUSE i can't figure it. 00:37:26 Speaker 1: Out, well The pirates are making. Money that's the. 00:37:27 Speaker 2: Fact every team is making. Money if they weren't Making these are all. Businessmen every owner is a, businessman business, person, women, man whatever they. Are whoever owns the, teams you're business, people. Okay these business people know how to make. Money if you're not making, money you sell the team because you know. What you can make your money that, way and you say it's someone else's. Problem, otherwise if You're Bob, nutting if you're the With Dick momford And, colorado if you're not making, money you sell the team and you take your franchise value that you made all this money on and you take, it you cash it, in you put that into something. Else to try to make. Money, yeah so don't give me the we're losing money and we can't afford these players because you. 00:38:05 Speaker 1: Can't times are. Hard but In skeens, CASE i think we have a different topic, Here. Kratz it's not about signing. Schemes it's About skiens actually wanting to stay. There right, now if You're Paul, skins there aren't many numbers that you're saying yes to if you want to look over TO i, MEAN i know he's a different Position Mike trout and, Say, OKAY i might be one of the best pitchers of this, generation, right but AM i about to sign with a team That i'll never really get much success. 00:38:30 Speaker 3: With, no you're. Not and they're not going to make enough of an. Offer they're not going to make enough of an offer that would give. Them they're just there's to, me there's no number that's going to come. Close and we might even hear we might even hear a. Number oh you, know The pirates Offered Paul skeens this or that like to, me until The pirates make an offer that is even equal to what somebody would get somewhere, else it's not even a blip on my, radar like The rays started doing that for. Years they were making offers that were equal to what guys we're going to get at other. Places AND i wouldn't have believed it HAD i not heard it from the people that signed at other, places teammates of, mine and so, like, hey you know, what they were definitely. Trying it didn't, happen you, know but to be fifteen million under and then to have a have a superstar In Paul, skens you, know not being able to say definitively that he can he can stay In pittsburgh for the rest of his career is a disservice to The pittsburgh fans and to his. 00:39:34 Speaker 1: Career so, Yeah Jeff passing in His notes column reporting that, yeah they were willing to Sign naylor for more than twice the franchise previous record free agent, deal which currently stands at thirty nine million dollars Before naylor said, yeah no, thanks you're the pirates And i'm ad libbing now on this. Part you're the pirates and you didn't pay as much As seattle. Would the other part that Pass and ads in his column Is pittsburgh is known to have interest In please hold your, Laughs please hold your, Laps Kyle. Schwarber you Think Kyle schwarber is going to sign with The pirates to finish up his. 00:40:10 Speaker 2: Career, okay you want to you want to Sign Kyle, schwarber you better sign about three or four other dudes first before you get To Kyle, schwarber because he's not he's looking to. 00:40:18 Speaker 1: Win he's not signing. 00:40:20 Speaker 2: There if they if they went out and Signed, TUCKER i don't know who the hell, else whoever else is a free. AGENT i don't know name the best free agents they. Named they signed the best for a free. Agency you pay them with schemes and some of the other pieces they have. 00:40:33 Speaker 1: Plans Huh tucker and Then schwarber they. 00:40:39 Speaker 2: Boom now now you're talking about a team that might be able to do Some. Stein i'm in because he's not signing. There by the, way, SORRY i had to get Out. Corey his phone, died so he's calling back out of. 00:40:48 Speaker 1: Course but you gotta be kidding. Me Kyle schwarber is going to sign with The. Pirates how much money would it Take Kyle schwarber to be offered from The pirates over anyone else's offer for him to sign. THEM i don't know if they here's a. Number he's super, rich he, wants he likes to. Win he also. 00:41:03 Speaker 2: Finished BUT i, mean if someone offers him four, years one hundred and fifty and The pirates come and say five years two, fifty. 00:41:09 Speaker 1: Fine there's your, number one hundred million, DOLLARS. 00:41:12 Speaker 2: I probably do that. One. OKAY i, mean it ain't gonna, Happen But i'm just Saying. 00:41:15 Speaker 1: Kyle would probably, say, hey can we use that to spend money on anybody? Else? Ever, true it's just such a joke to think that he would actually consider that franchise right now with the way that they've treated their team and free. Agency tell Me i'm, Wrong please tell Me i'm wrong That Kyle schwarver is going to get an offer From pittsburgh that's similar to another offer and, say, yep going. 00:41:38 Speaker 3: THERE i can't the baseball fan of, me the heart of hearts knowing Different pirate fans they want, That, yes they want. It and it's like people are gonna, say, well what about the Like Jason worth with The, Nationals like he signed. There Jason worth got offered FIFTY i. 00:41:58 Speaker 2: Think it was fifty. 00:41:59 Speaker 3: Two million more than the next highest offer that he, received, like we're not we're not talking about it's not the. Same it's not apples to, Apples like The pirates won't go to Where Kyle schwarber even will Get AND i HOPE i get to eat all my words That i'm saying. HERE i hope we get to play this all back And pirate fans can laugh at us and look at us. 00:42:24 Speaker 2: Now because they do have a rotation with some. Offense could be a great. 00:42:29 Speaker 1: Team DO i believe. 00:42:30 Speaker 2: THAT i want The pirates to be good BECAUSE i want all the teams to, try AND i want fans to be rewarded for their. Loyalty and there are some Awesome pittsburgh. Fans, yeah it's one of the best. Ballparks it's one of the coolest stadiums you could ever go, to and there are some die Hard it's the same As, oakland, Right like for a Year's oakland people were, like, oh there's no. Fans, well there was like about ten to twelve Thousand oakland fans that were at every game and they were. UNBELIEVABLE i mean they were loud as hell and there was like none of them. THERE i mean there was like ten thousand people there and it was loud as. Well the same In. Pittsburgh there's like your base and they should be rewarded for. 00:43:02 Speaker 1: It look at The. 00:43:03 Speaker 2: Steelers The steelers are packed all the, time right because they try and win every. 00:43:07 Speaker 1: Year it's not about That pittsburgh has a great fan. Base they have a great, ballpark. 00:43:11 Speaker 2: But it's about the fact THAT i feel sorry for the fact that they haven't had a winning team in a long. Time. 00:43:15 Speaker 1: Yeah and you, know even in this report, too from passing like they might Let Connor griffin win a. Spot he's one of the top prospects in the, sport top From Baseball america right. Now he's nineteen years. Old is he the savior? YET i mean it's. Early it's awesome that they'll let him. Compete i'm all about, it, Right and they do have some exciting young, players AND i do think they'll sign, someone but they'll probably end up signing someone more in like the thirty something million forty fifty, right like something much more mid, range and, say, hey we tried for the. 00:43:42 Speaker 2: They're gonna Sign they're gonna sign a couple of mid, yes mid free, agents, huh and, say, hey, look, guys we're really, trying and we tried to play in the big boy, pool but it didn't work. Out it's we hear this from numerous teams at this. 00:43:54 Speaker 1: POINT i just don't think we can forget the track record for a long period of. Time. Now they've had other teams LIKE i don't know the one coming into this, season that's some pretty good looking, pitchers and they completely neglected the free agent market to help the. Offense the offense was. TERRIBLE i got something for. You did you see that The rays Cut Christopher? MORRELL i Mean Sabermetric darling is he? Though no fun? Guy fun, Fun he's fun when he's. 00:44:21 Speaker 2: Fun when he was hitting, dingers. 00:44:23 Speaker 1: He's got too many holes in that, swing and that. 00:44:25 Speaker 2: Was what do you think The cubs got rid of? 00:44:26 Speaker 1: Him they made a nice move, there, Right. 00:44:31 Speaker 2: Christmer morrell looks like a fun, player but he strikes out so. Much cratch, like he strikes out so. Much he doesn't really have a. POSITION i guess they're left field is kind of where he's. Settled but, yeah he'll hit you some, dingers but are the two hundred strikeouts he puts? Up he give him five hundred and six hundred bats worth twenty five homers every year and bad. 00:44:49 Speaker 1: Defense he hits the ball hard and then certain people drool and they need to clean their spit. Up it's too. Much it's enough That i'm just saying that pro file of player right gets way too much. Hype it's, true you know what krats we talked. About it's not an old school new school. Thing you just you can't have that profile and holes in your swing like? That is it unfair for me to say because some guys fix those? Holes? 00:45:17 Speaker 3: Uh name one who fixed? Those who fixes those holes when they're that? 00:45:22 Speaker 2: Glaring? 00:45:22 Speaker 3: Like is he gonna drop twenty five punch? Outs like to, ME i would hope For Christopher morel he can look at himself and, Go, Okay i've in, Dfate i've been traded away from The cubs who are trying to. Win what DO i need to? Change because he's uber, athletic stupid bat? Speed, like what DO i need to? 00:45:40 Speaker 2: Change we'll? SEE i, mean it's totally up to. 00:45:44 Speaker 1: Him but the problem, IS i, mean exit velocity and bat speed numbers that lead to expected numbers that are. 00:45:52 Speaker 2: Just those aren't real though real lit those aren't. REAL i get so annoyed with. That those aren't, real. 00:45:58 Speaker 1: But sometimes they're helpful to, Show, hey this player actually has gone through an unlucky first couple months of the season or whatever it, Is, right. 00:46:05 Speaker 2: It's been a lucky first couple of years for. 00:46:08 Speaker 1: Him i'm saying this doesn't apply for this type of. Player oh that's my point is there's a TIME i always. 00:46:15 Speaker 2: Like, LISTEN i understand where like guys are hitting the ball hard and they're not getting, Hits like, yeah okay for a couple of, weeks but this has been a while, Now like everyone's, like this guy's got all the talent in the. World but it goes back to krats what we've talked about on here many. Times not everybody could be a forty five home run. Guy not everybody's a thirty to forty home run. Guy hit your fifteen to twenty and get on base and steal if you're super out like they're just because we've gotten to a point in, baseball which is the way it. Is it's what guys get paid. For it's hitting, homers all. 00:46:43 Speaker 1: Right we have two articles fresh up on The Roer blog that we do for BET. Mgm one is on how to construct the perfect pitcher via each pitch that we like best in. Baseball we'll get to that later this, week but this one is which teams are most successful with limited payrolls and no. Surprise this is looking over a period of time where a team like The rays pop. Up most of the teams that pop up here with the average dollars spent per win are basically the bottom of the. Barrel it was a fun exercise but also a terrible exercise because most of these teams that had no, success, well. 00:47:20 Speaker 2: The guardians And. Raise everyone wants to be The. Raise everyone wants to be The. Raise race haven't. Won they haven't won A World series. 00:47:25 Speaker 1: Yet WHEN i say, SUCCESS i mean the point is A World series. Title most fan, Bases, yeah. 00:47:31 Speaker 2: It's cool that you make the. Playoffs But i'll tell you, what if you talk to a lot of people around the, league they will say that the teams are just happy they make the. Playoffs, oh we got, In hey it was we got. In we got, In not, hey we didn't we won the World like The dodgers won The World series last. Year that was a hell of a. Year The yankees are the one team and they don't win The World. Series that it's not a successful year other than that team's, like oh we got. In, look anything can happen once you get. In anything can happen once you get. 00:47:56 Speaker 1: In many teams think that there's too much chance, risk et cetera in the. PLAYOFFS i can't disagree. MORE i feel like we look at certain teams And i'm, like, yeah that looks like a playoff, team but they're not going to do much. THERE i feel like we say that every year of this show's. Existence, Right, oh they really got to go for that big name. Starter sure is it? Risky, yes going to be A corbyn burn signing for The diamondbacks and then all of a sudden he's hurt and you're not going to have him until part of this coming. Season, Sure but at the same, time could he Be Google, yamamoto et cetera and win you A World? 00:48:31 Speaker 3: Series at the end of this, Here Stu sternberg stole sold the, race, right? Yep so all those all those dollars per wins at the end of his time owning the, race, here does he wish he had A World series? Ring if he can't say, Yes if you're an owner right now and you just started owning the team and you can't say yes to. That just sell just sell it now because there are people that have the money that also won the. Ring, like, yeah, great he saved a lot of, money made a ton of money when he sold the. Team had he invested some of that money that he made and won a, SERIES i. 00:49:11 Speaker 2: Bet he still would have made the same amount of. 00:49:12 Speaker 3: Money that's. 00:49:15 Speaker 2: True he probably would have made more. 00:49:16 Speaker 1: If you would have made. More, yeah if you have A World series, team you get a lot of bang for the buck after the, facts, RIGHT i mean you went over a very large generation of. Fans when you're able to pull something like that, OFF i always get, told, well you, can't you, know go too far in debt with a current team based on what they're going to sell for in the. FUTURE i, mean you are able to borrow. Money that's part of THE mlb, program LIKE i. Gave, hey The patres have not won A World. SERIES i think they've tried damn hard to do it. Right it's not always going to work. Out but don't you think a team like that has kind of done everything that they could do during the last half? Decade? Awesome, yeah and how is it out there they're. 00:49:53 Speaker 2: Doing fun to sell the. Team they're going to make a lot of. 00:49:55 Speaker 1: Money they want to sell the team because they're not as into, baseball and that.
