Speaker 3: right here on seven out of your home for Rockets basketball.
Speaker 3: The Texans starting interviews for their open O C position.
Speaker 3: They also hired a new team president. Mike Toeman is
Speaker 3: the new team president. Seven one three two one two
Speaker 3: five seven ninety is the number to join. Also, we
Speaker 3: got some astro stuff to get into. Alex Bregnan reportedly
Speaker 3: wants thirty million dollars a year. They could be interested
Speaker 3: in a veteran outfielder infielder, who could that be? That
Speaker 3: would be later on in the eight o'clock hour, Damien,
Speaker 3: you're up first, Good morning.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning guys. One on Brian good mar Son,
Speaker 4: Hey Son. This these next couple of highs with the Texans.
Speaker 4: They've got to absolutely nail these highs. I mean they
Speaker 4: have to for the team's sake, for Stroud's sake. I
Speaker 4: agree with you saying that they got to get somebody
Speaker 4: in there that bows Demiko. I got two names I
Speaker 4: want to throw at you, and I'm gonna hang up
Speaker 4: and listen to you, guys. One of the names is
Speaker 4: Josh McCown. Saw what he done. He was on the
Speaker 4: staff that helped that helped Sam Darnold look like the
Speaker 4: high pick that he he pretty much was. And another
Speaker 4: guy who was right right in our division. He's he's
Speaker 4: won the title. Andy Reid guy, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 4: And uh and Doug Peterson and I hang up and
Speaker 4: listen to you, man, have a good day.
Speaker 3: Appreciated Damion you as well, real quick. Josh McCown is
Speaker 3: the name that we mentioned yesterday that potentially could be
Speaker 3: getting an interview with the Houston Texans. And then I
Speaker 3: also have seen Sean I've seen Doug Peterson's name floated
Speaker 3: around quite a bit over the last couple of days.
Speaker 3: He was obviously let go from the Jackson Peterson well.
Speaker 3: As a play caller, yeah he really could. He's been
Speaker 3: really good at it in his career, he'd have a
Speaker 3: better quarterback than what he had in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say so right now that that would
Speaker 1: be definitely the call. And I don't think there's any doubt.
Speaker 3: Of course, Josh McCown has ties here to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3: Remember what Jack uster be basically wanted him to be
Speaker 3: the next head coach when he had no head coaching experience.
Speaker 3: We saw that drama, but he did. Look, Sam Darnol
Speaker 3: had a really, really good year. He just picked the
Speaker 3: last two weeks to have his worst games of the season.
Speaker 1: In two big ones, unfortunately for Sam. But listen, I
Speaker 1: don't have probably. I love Josh McCown, and I see
Speaker 1: now when they were talking about hiring him his head
Speaker 1: coach a couple of years ago, it's like it's a
Speaker 1: little premature. I didn't know how bad that. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was been in the league a long time, so well
Speaker 1: respected and a great dude, but a smart football guy.
Speaker 1: Teammates loved him, and he's he's got great mind and
Speaker 1: he needed a little more seasoning and he went and
Speaker 1: got it from the Kevin O'Connell and Sam's played great
Speaker 1: football this year. I listen, you have to I would
Speaker 1: think interview him. He's obviously got some ties here, people
Speaker 1: love him here and doesn't necessarily mean you gotta hire him.
Speaker 1: But if he comes in there and wows you, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some same production the Vikings got, and
Speaker 1: with a quarterback, quite frankly, who's got a chance to
Speaker 1: elevate to another level here? Why not? I would interview Peterson.
Speaker 1: I would interview Josh McCowan. I would why not? Why not? Yes,
Speaker 1: Peterson's called plays and has had Super Bowl run as
Speaker 1: a head coach, and I just don't take because they
Speaker 1: struggle to Jacksonville as the head coach that Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: can't call plays. He can, And I think that'd be
Speaker 1: a brilliant interview. Figure it out. And he knows the
Speaker 1: division pretty damn well.
Speaker 3: He does, there's no doubt Man. Seven one three seven
Speaker 3: ninety Brandon, good morning.
Speaker 2: Good morning, guys. I love the show. By the way,
Speaker 2: we're talking about Bragman wanting thirty a year, is the
Speaker 2: current even initial offer worth it, especially now that we
Speaker 2: need the outfield and seeing san Terre signed for eighteen
Speaker 2: a year for five in Profar, which I thought would
Speaker 2: have been a great get for fourteen for three with
Speaker 2: the Braves. Is there anybody else out there that would
Speaker 2: be better value or two guys versus even given Bregman
Speaker 2: is the initial offer we offered.
Speaker 3: I'll hang up to listening. Yeah, Verdigo is still available
Speaker 3: RF he is. Alex Roduguez is still a free agent.
Speaker 3: I think with with the way that the lineup is
Speaker 3: constructed right now, if you bring back Alex Bregman for
Speaker 3: the six for one fifty six uh twenty six a year,
Speaker 3: and it extends your lineup tremendously, now, would you have
Speaker 3: to move pieces around to uh get al Tuo Vane
Speaker 3: left field? We heard it from Joe Spotted himself on
Speaker 3: Saturday at Fanfiest. They're going to do whatever, uh to
Speaker 3: accommodate it. Hoose yeah about yeah, yeah yeah, Hosey. So
Speaker 3: I think for the for the value. Look, man, if
Speaker 3: he for me, and we got asked by Tiffany asked us,
Speaker 3: what's the max that we would pay Alex Bregnan for me?
Speaker 3: I said it since day one and Sean you were
Speaker 3: on the same page with me for me and ain't
Speaker 3: it's nothing higher than twenty seven million?
Speaker 1: Okay, what's he had down? What do we got from
Speaker 1: twenty that's twenty six year, right, correct, I'm willing to
Speaker 1: go over six years, add a million bucks to twenty seven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would stay at twenty mas. That's it. But that's
Speaker 1: almost as if I'm if I'm negotiating against somebody else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this offer's been on the table, you've had every you've
Speaker 1: had a month, well well more than a month, down
Speaker 1: to go out and get whatever whatever you think you
Speaker 1: can find. Here's what we have. And since then, now
Speaker 1: we've made decisions. We've traded Kyle Tucker, We've got you,
Speaker 1: traded a middle infield taken care of. We've traded a
Speaker 1: closer who was pitching in the eightheen eighties going to
Speaker 1: close for Chicagolander. We've Verlanders. A lot of things have happened.
Speaker 1: And in truth, if it was a Prick franchise, which
Speaker 1: this isn't, somebody else would go in there and say, well,
Speaker 1: we're going to offer you less now because you've got
Speaker 1: no we're going to take it down to twenty five
Speaker 1: million a year, six years for what would that be
Speaker 1: a buck fifty? So six years for a buck fifty.
Speaker 1: So we're going to take it down to twenty five
Speaker 1: because well some of that money's been spent. Well, you
Speaker 1: just freed some up with Ryan Presley regardless, Now you're
Speaker 1: not going to do that. That's respect for Alex Spreagman,
Speaker 1: I get it. But if that's on the table and
Speaker 1: you're not negotiating against anybody else, Because if there's a
Speaker 1: twenty eight million dollar offer out there, I think he
Speaker 1: would have taken it. He would have. So at that
Speaker 1: point in time, if I get to twenty seven and
Speaker 1: he says it's thirty or bust, you got to move on.
Speaker 1: You just have to move on. Thirty sixty ninety one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty million dollars for six years, correct, that's
Speaker 1: what it would end up being. I get why he
Speaker 1: wants it, and I would ask for it too, But
Speaker 1: at some point in time there, if nobody's giving you that,
Speaker 1: why would I give you that? Now it's a do
Speaker 1: you love us or do you not?
Speaker 2: Mean?
Speaker 1: Not only do we love him, but he's got to
Speaker 1: love us. So if you want to come back at
Speaker 1: this offer, it's fine. That's still pretty hefty, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: It's twenty seven millions about the max for me. Now,
Speaker 1: if we hadn't done anything, there's nobody there then that
Speaker 1: he holds the leverage. Does he hold it right?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: That's a question to me. I don't believe he does. No.
Speaker 1: And like I said, when you say, what you think
Speaker 1: you'd do as an owner has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: how I feel about Alex Regman the player. I don't
Speaker 1: know him personally, but I like the guy and I
Speaker 1: think he is a He's got so many traits outside
Speaker 1: of baseball that you like. Yeah, and in the club,
Speaker 1: all those things. But let's call like we see it.
Speaker 1: His offense offensive production must get better like it was
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, and you may not get
Speaker 1: that year, but it's got to be somewhere in between
Speaker 1: what you've seen and what he did when he was
Speaker 1: at an MVP candidate the whole year. And the most
Speaker 1: alarming thing is that year like one hundred and eighteen
Speaker 1: walks and he had forty plus this year. That's that's
Speaker 1: a that that that it's a major so why and
Speaker 1: with more at bats why? So that's something you got
Speaker 1: to look at. But I'm not Tiffany. I'm not. He
Speaker 1: doesn't get an announced over twenty seven, and if they
Speaker 1: do pay him more twenty eight twenty, then they feel
Speaker 1: that they haven't answered their questions yet. But to me,
Speaker 1: I think that if Alex Bregman wants to move on
Speaker 1: for the same price or a half a million more
Speaker 1: a year somewhere else, maybe a risk you have to take,
Speaker 1: but not at the thirty million a year. If he
Speaker 1: was getting it somewhere else, Alex Bregman would have already
Speaker 1: been under contract, getting ready to go to spring training
Speaker 1: somewhere else.
Speaker 3: If somebody would have offered him twenty eighty year, he
Speaker 3: would have been gone. I feel like unless he's just
Speaker 3: a really gung hole on thirty million a year.
Speaker 1: So if he is, then he's going to have to
Speaker 1: hold out for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're just enging.
Speaker 1: Cultures the business side, not what I listen. Do I
Speaker 1: want all the best players here? Of course, who doesn't,
Speaker 1: but at what expense?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And there comes a point in time when you cannot
Speaker 1: let team hold the player hostage and player hold the
Speaker 1: team hostage, and you also have a bunch of other
Speaker 1: guys you got to think about who do I got
Speaker 1: to get ready, and if Paradis is really going to
Speaker 1: play second base, you got to take some ground balls,
Speaker 1: got to get him going, because once you get there,
Speaker 1: third base isn't exactly an easy position to play right,
Speaker 1: So he's got to find some focus, just like Altuve
Speaker 1: would if breg Bregman dictates about three or four positions
Speaker 1: right now, So it's got he You cannot leave it
Speaker 1: in flux. If you talk about player empowerment and players
Speaker 1: you want to give them a clear conscience and give
Speaker 1: them a real chance to compete. We're there. It's time.
Speaker 1: It's time to make a decision and live with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: put your put put put the fist down.
Speaker 3: Let's go. Yeah, you've got to draw a line, and
Speaker 3: it's got to be a concrete not the sand. Yeah exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: seven seven ninety is the number to join the show.
Speaker 3: Let's get to the stake out next right here on
Speaker 3: Sports Talk seven to eighty
