15
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 3>wants thirty million dollars a year. They could be interested

16
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 3>in a veteran outfielder infielder, who could that be? That

17
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 3>would be later on in the eight o'clock hour, Damien,

18
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 3>you're up first, Good morning.

19
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 4>Hey, good morning guys. One on Brian good mar Son,

20
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 4>Hey Son. This these next couple of highs with the Texans.

21
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 4>They've got to absolutely nail these highs. I mean they

22
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 4>have to for the team's sake, for Stroud's sake. I

23
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.000
<v Speaker 4>agree with you saying that they got to get somebody

24
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 4>in there that bows Demiko. I got two names I

25
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 4>want to throw at you, and I'm gonna hang up

26
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 4>and listen to you, guys. One of the names is

27
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Josh McCown. Saw what he done. He was on the

28
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 4>staff that helped that helped Sam Darnold look like the

29
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 4>high pick that he he pretty much was. And another

30
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 4>guy who was right right in our division. He's he's

31
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 4>won the title. Andy Reid guy, if I'm not mistaken.

32
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 4>And uh and Doug Peterson and I hang up and

33
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 4>listen to you, man, have a good day.

34
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Appreciated Damion you as well, real quick. Josh McCown is

35
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 3>the name that we mentioned yesterday that potentially could be

36
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 3>getting an interview with the Houston Texans. And then I

37
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 3>also have seen Sean I've seen Doug Peterson's name floated

38
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 3>around quite a bit over the last couple of days.

39
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 3>He was obviously let go from the Jackson Peterson well.

40
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 3>As a play caller, yeah he really could. He's been

41
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 3>really good at it in his career, he'd have a

42
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 3>better quarterback than what he had in Jacksonville.

43
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would say so right now that that would

44
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>be definitely the call. And I don't think there's any doubt.

45
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 3>Of course, Josh McCown has ties here to the Houston Texans.

46
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Remember what Jack uster be basically wanted him to be

47
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 3>the next head coach when he had no head coaching experience.

48
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 3>We saw that drama, but he did. Look, Sam Darnol

49
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 3>had a really, really good year. He just picked the

50
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>last two weeks to have his worst games of the season.

51
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>In two big ones, unfortunately for Sam. But listen, I

52
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have probably. I love Josh McCown, and I see

53
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>now when they were talking about hiring him his head

54
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>coach a couple of years ago, it's like it's a

55
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 1>little premature. I didn't know how bad that. Yeah, that

56
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>was been in the league a long time, so well

57
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>respected and a great dude, but a smart football guy.

58
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Teammates loved him, and he's he's got great mind and

59
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 1>he needed a little more seasoning and he went and

60
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 1>got it from the Kevin O'Connell and Sam's played great

61
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>football this year. I listen, you have to I would

62
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>think interview him. He's obviously got some ties here, people

63
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 1>love him here and doesn't necessarily mean you gotta hire him.

64
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>But if he comes in there and wows you, and

65
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get some same production the Vikings got, and

66
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>with a quarterback, quite frankly, who's got a chance to

67
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 1>elevate to another level here? Why not? I would interview Peterson.

68
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 1>I would interview Josh McCowan. I would why not? Why not? Yes,

69
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Peterson's called plays and has had Super Bowl run as

70
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>a head coach, and I just don't take because they

71
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>struggle to Jacksonville as the head coach that Doug Peterson

72
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 1>can't call plays. He can, And I think that'd be

73
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 1>a brilliant interview. Figure it out. And he knows the

74
00:03:58.759 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>division pretty damn well.

75
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 3>He does, there's no doubt Man. Seven one three seven

76
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 3>ninety Brandon, good morning.

77
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, guys. I love the show. By the way,

78
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about Bragman wanting thirty a year, is the

79
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>current even initial offer worth it, especially now that we

80
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>need the outfield and seeing san Terre signed for eighteen

81
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>a year for five in Profar, which I thought would

82
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 2>have been a great get for fourteen for three with

83
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>the Braves. Is there anybody else out there that would

84
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 2>be better value or two guys versus even given Bregman

85
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>is the initial offer we offered.

86
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 3>I'll hang up to listening. Yeah, Verdigo is still available

87
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 3>RF he is. Alex Roduguez is still a free agent.

88
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 3>I think with with the way that the lineup is

89
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 3>constructed right now, if you bring back Alex Bregman for

90
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 3>the six for one fifty six uh twenty six a year,

91
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 3>and it extends your lineup tremendously, now, would you have

92
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 3>to move pieces around to uh get al Tuo Vane

93
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 3>left field? We heard it from Joe Spotted himself on

94
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Saturday at Fanfiest. They're going to do whatever, uh to

95
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 3>accommodate it. Hoose yeah about yeah, yeah yeah, Hosey. So

96
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 3>I think for the for the value. Look, man, if

97
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 3>he for me, and we got asked by Tiffany asked us,

98
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 3>what's the max that we would pay Alex Bregnan for me?

99
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 3>I said it since day one and Sean you were

100
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 3>on the same page with me for me and ain't

101
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing higher than twenty seven million?

102
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what's he had down? What do we got from

103
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty that's twenty six year, right, correct, I'm willing to

104
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 1>go over six years, add a million bucks to twenty seven. Yeah,

105
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I would stay at twenty mas. That's it. But that's

106
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 1>almost as if I'm if I'm negotiating against somebody else. Yeah,

107
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 1>this offer's been on the table, you've had every you've

108
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>had a month, well well more than a month, down

109
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to go out and get whatever whatever you think you

110
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 1>can find. Here's what we have. And since then, now

111
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>we've made decisions. We've traded Kyle Tucker, We've got you,

112
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>traded a middle infield taken care of. We've traded a

113
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>closer who was pitching in the eightheen eighties going to

114
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 1>close for Chicagolander. We've Verlanders. A lot of things have happened.

115
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>And in truth, if it was a Prick franchise, which

116
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 1>this isn't, somebody else would go in there and say, well,

117
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 1>we're going to offer you less now because you've got

118
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>no we're going to take it down to twenty five

119
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>million a year, six years for what would that be

120
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.079
<v Speaker 1>a buck fifty? So six years for a buck fifty.

121
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 1>So we're going to take it down to twenty five

122
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 1>because well some of that money's been spent. Well, you

123
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>just freed some up with Ryan Presley regardless, Now you're

124
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>not going to do that. That's respect for Alex Spreagman,

125
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I get it. But if that's on the table and

126
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you're not negotiating against anybody else, Because if there's a

127
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight million dollar offer out there, I think he

128
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>would have taken it. He would have. So at that

129
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>point in time, if I get to twenty seven and

130
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>he says it's thirty or bust, you got to move on.

131
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>You just have to move on. Thirty sixty ninety one

132
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty million dollars for six years, correct, that's

133
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>what it would end up being. I get why he

134
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>wants it, and I would ask for it too, But

135
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>at some point in time there, if nobody's giving you that,

136
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>why would I give you that? Now it's a do

137
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 1>you love us or do you not?

138
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Mean?

139
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Not only do we love him, but he's got to

140
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>love us. So if you want to come back at

141
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this offer, it's fine. That's still pretty hefty, but I'm not.

142
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>It's twenty seven millions about the max for me. Now,

143
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>if we hadn't done anything, there's nobody there then that

144
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>he holds the leverage. Does he hold it right?

145
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Now?

146
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 1>That's a question to me. I don't believe he does. No.

147
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, when you say, what you think

148
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 1>you'd do as an owner has nothing to do with

149
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>how I feel about Alex Regman the player. I don't

150
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>know him personally, but I like the guy and I

151
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>think he is a He's got so many traits outside

152
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 1>of baseball that you like. Yeah, and in the club,

153
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 1>all those things. But let's call like we see it.

154
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 1>His offense offensive production must get better like it was

155
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and nine, and you may not get

156
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>that year, but it's got to be somewhere in between

157
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>what you've seen and what he did when he was

158
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>at an MVP candidate the whole year. And the most

159
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 1>alarming thing is that year like one hundred and eighteen

160
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>walks and he had forty plus this year. That's that's

161
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>a that that that it's a major so why and

162
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>with more at bats why? So that's something you got

163
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to look at. But I'm not Tiffany. I'm not. He

164
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get an announced over twenty seven, and if they

165
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>do pay him more twenty eight twenty, then they feel

166
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that they haven't answered their questions yet. But to me,

167
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I think that if Alex Bregman wants to move on

168
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 1>for the same price or a half a million more

169
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a year somewhere else, maybe a risk you have to take,

170
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 1>but not at the thirty million a year. If he

171
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>was getting it somewhere else, Alex Bregman would have already

172
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>been under contract, getting ready to go to spring training

173
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else.

174
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 3>If somebody would have offered him twenty eighty year, he

175
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 3>would have been gone. I feel like unless he's just

176
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 3>a really gung hole on thirty million a year.

177
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>So if he is, then he's going to have to

178
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 1>hold out for it.

179
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we're just enging.

180
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Cultures the business side, not what I listen. Do I

181
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 1>want all the best players here? Of course, who doesn't,

182
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>but at what expense?

183
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

184
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 1>And there comes a point in time when you cannot

185
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>let team hold the player hostage and player hold the

186
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>team hostage, and you also have a bunch of other

187
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>guys you got to think about who do I got

188
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 1>to get ready, and if Paradis is really going to

189
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>play second base, you got to take some ground balls,

190
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.639
<v Speaker 1>got to get him going, because once you get there,

191
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 1>third base isn't exactly an easy position to play right,

192
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 1>So he's got to find some focus, just like Altuve

193
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>would if breg Bregman dictates about three or four positions

194
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 1>right now, So it's got he You cannot leave it

195
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>in flux. If you talk about player empowerment and players

196
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to give them a clear conscience and give

197
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>them a real chance to compete. We're there. It's time.

198
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 1>It's time to make a decision and live with it. Yeah,

199
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>put your put put put the fist down.

200
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Let's go. Yeah, you've got to draw a line, and

201
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 3>it's got to be a concrete not the sand. Yeah exactly. Yeah,

202
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 3>seven seven ninety is the number to join the show.
