How coincidental is that? 26 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.240 Yeah, it's amazing. You know, you have a conversation two 27 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.240 days ago and the next thing, you know, oh you're back. 28 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:14.039 Yeah. 29 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.000 Well some things happen and life happens, and amen. Anyways, 30 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.120 we're glad to have you back. 31 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.159 I am glad to be back. 32 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.360 Good, good, good, So JD, I don't know, let you know, yeah, good, 33 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.680 all of you guys smoking, Jeremy, b and I did 34 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.360 this show for a while, oh way back, but then 35 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.639 Jeremy wasn't on our network for a while and he's back, 36 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:46.000 and JD and Taylor and Samera. I'm just happy I 37 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.360 got a you know, a good crew here that I'm 38 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.159 excited to keep going on the show with. 39 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.159 It's funny because it was just before it was Monday 40 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.319 when I talked to Scott actually not Tuesday, and we 41 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.280 were talking about the Tigers in general, and I said, 42 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.919 if we're going to do anything, it's going to be 43 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.360 a bunch of mid level the new moves to revamp 44 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.360 the bullpen and the starting rotation, because that's where we 45 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.199 were failing. The bats all went cold, at the same time. 46 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.280 But we've seen with every team that had a month 47 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.879 long slump so far this season. The Mets, the Phillies, 48 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.080 and the Guardians had month long slump. Some of them 49 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.960 had eight, nine and ten win lost streaks. I said, 50 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.039 I'm not worried about that getting fixed. The Bats will 51 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.879 come back. It's the bullpen falling apart. 52 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.680 So well with that. Since he's kind of taken this 53 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.199 down that MLB road, let's hit it because today was 54 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.599 the end of the deadline for the trades. Anybody got 55 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.000 any trades that you want to talk about that you 56 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.599 call them look interesting, you think will really help propel 57 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.479 a team, or you felt they should have done more. 58 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.199 RK. 59 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.680 We'll get to that once we get to uh football, 60 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.719 But let's start. We're gonna start with MLB. And yes, 61 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.759 I am a Packers fan. 62 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:16.600 I have a very distinct opinion about that about a 63 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.959 certain RDE receiver that should be should have been in 64 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.920 before Sterling Sharp, who's been who's into the veterans have 65 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.199 to put him in because he can't be voted in anymore. 66 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:31.480 Tory Holt should have got in before Sterling Sterling Sharp, Okay, okay. 67 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.839 All right, and so hey, so Candy, like you said, 68 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:42.160 we're gonna start with the MLB draft, and so I think, yeah, yeah, no, 69 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.639 excuse me, yeah yeah yeah draft. But hey, that did 70 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.279 happen a few weeks ago. In my defense, that's the 71 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:53.279 MLB trade. So Candy, if I could, I wanted to 72 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.720 play a little game. I saved all of the sports 73 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.800 updates from my phone about the trade, and I wanted 74 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.040 to just name a few, and I wanted someone to say, Hey, 75 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.959 that one really grabs my attention, because for the most part, 76 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.079 from what I saw, there were really like two interesting 77 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.759 stories in the trade, and they really didn't have anything 78 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.040 to do with the trade more than what they had 79 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.959 to do with the team. 80 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.480 Have you let half their team go? 81 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.040 Well that and not only that, the double header thing 82 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.720 with Sir Anthony Domingo's, by the way, great names, Sir 83 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.480 Anthony s E R A N T h O N Y. 84 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:48.839 Sir Anthony. Is that not like a fantastic name? Nobody 85 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.399 Nobody thinks that's a great name, Sir Anthony. I know 86 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.079 there's a lot of made up Nate like a lot 87 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.959 of made up names, but that one hit. 88 00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.360 Sir Anthony. 89 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.720 There's a guy getting an anil deal in South Florida 90 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.959 for one of the smaller colleges, and he's actually getting 91 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.519 nil money from a heating and cooling company. And he 92 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.439 has the perfect name for it. It's the Coldest Crawford. 93 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.040 Yeah, I remember that one, and then and then you 94 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.439 had the whole kool Aid change his name to kool 95 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.879 Aid thing. But yeah, So anyway, the two most intriguing 96 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.000 things I've seen about the trades were him being traded 97 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.639 in the middle of that double header, and then there 98 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.319 was another player today who also was traded in the 99 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:37.079 middle of the game and had to like walk around. 100 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.399 So let's go to the trades. Though, let me go 101 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:47.240 back to the very first one I got. Let's see, okay. 102 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:52.319 San Diego trades for Miller and Sears. 103 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.560 Not the shopping store, not Sears, it closed down a 104 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:02.839 long time ago. But this Sears and this Miller are 105 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.120 a closer and a starter, and they sent him to 106 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.720 the Padres for number three overall prospect. I'm not gonna 107 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:13.959 try to pronounce that name. 108 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:14.839 Leo. 109 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:22.319 Oh yeah, well Leo Dallas Day of Rees. Yeah, debris, 110 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:27.720 there you go, Yeah, thank you, Taylor j Okay, So 111 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.800 what do you think about that trade? Is that one 112 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.759 since you knew that name, Taylor, how do you feel 113 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.839 about the the Athletics sending the closer and the starter 114 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.279 to the Padres. 115 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.600 Well, the A's are selling, the Padres are contending, that's 116 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.040 all I know. 117 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.560 Right, Well, what about those players in particular? Do you 118 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.399 any feelings about the players at all? 119 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.600 No? 120 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.120 No, you just knew his name. 121 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.319 You just knew how to pronounce it, debris. Okay, well, hey, 122 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.639 thank you appreciate that for sure. 123 00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:59.800 Let's see are the. 124 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.120 So let me let me add to you, Jad, since 125 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.959 you're asking Mason Miller a starter in JP series for 126 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.360 a massive product prospect. Hall Miller, who is arbitration eligible 127 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.279 through the twenty twenty ninth season, gives San Diego an 128 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.639 elite closer at a low salary, which is huge for 129 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:21.040 a franchise under payroll constraints. Sears is also pre arb 130 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:25.680 and slides into the rotation, giving Proler the option to 131 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.439 deal Robert Suarez and Dylan Cees in exchange for offensive help. 132 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:36.399 You know, Padres are making moves. You gotta give him credit, you. 133 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.759 Know, right, And there is an underlying thing here that 134 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.519 we'll get to in a moment. Can do you know 135 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.679 the tweet I sent you earlier. So guess what the Padres. 136 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.039 They're in contention. As Taylor said, they are looking to 137 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.600 make the playoffs. And that is my interesting question coming 138 00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:00.600 up for this evening regarding these MLB trades, because it's 139 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.759 not like that in the NFL. In the NBA, like 140 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.320 you know which teams are contending because you see all 141 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:08.960 these traits. 142 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.879 All right, so we've cleared a few. 143 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.919 Let's see here, how about the Philadelphia Phillies, Samir, you 144 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:14.960 might have a thought on this. 145 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.399 Oh yeah, definitely the Paladelic series. 146 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.720 But I really like what both the Phillies and the 147 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:27.639 Mets did this deadline. The Phillies really needed some bullpen help, 148 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:32.440 especially with Jose Alvarado getting popped for PDS. He's not 149 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.559 going to be eligible to pitch in the postseason, and 150 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:40.519 the Phillies bullpen the past couple of postseasons against Arizona 151 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:45.080 and then last year Jeff Hoffman against the Mets has 152 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.480 kind of been their downfall. So I did I did 153 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.720 like that trade for Duran, and I did like the 154 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.240 move for Harrison Bader. He's a I guess, for the 155 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.840 most part, reliable outfield, right handed bat, and that was 156 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:05.120 one of the things the Phillies did. Need this pays 157 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.000 me even more. But I really do like, for the 158 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.399 most part what the Mets did with their bullpen. It's 159 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.480 pretty clear that Steve Cohen, David Stearns, they're in the 160 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.000 thick of it and they want to go all in, 161 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.799 like they already had Garrett Standing, Rayley and Diaz in 162 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:25.799 that bullpen. And then you add two guys in Hellsley 163 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.399 and Soda who are flame throwers. Yeah, that's gonna be 164 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:34.080 a dangerous bullpen come October. And I'm gonna get into 165 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.919 what didn't happen and what seems did during. 166 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:45.879 My Sorry sorry, I had to squash that. There's no 167 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:46.799 way that's happening. 168 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.639 So I like the one two comments before that. I 169 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.639 think that's pretty clever that Josh Door did breaking new 170 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.600 South Florida Trading Tribute traded Bensman to r W Media 171 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:03.080 in exchange for Smoking Jay. That's funny. 172 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.360 But yeah, as I was saying to say it, but 173 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.960 I did like what Philadelphia and New York did this deadline. 174 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.879 And I'll get into a little more what a certain 175 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.919 other team in the N East didn't do during my sound. 176 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.480 So yeah, those are my thoughts. 177 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.279 And I appreciate your thoughts a mere Apparently people don't 178 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:26.279 appreciate mine. 179 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.200 But you know what you're gonna get him. 180 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.559 Yeah, I'll tell you who's a seller right now. And 181 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.039 you look at what they gave away today in the 182 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.240 last couple of days. It was the Minnesota Twins. They 183 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:49.679 got her of Castro, Duran Paddock, Korea, Columbia, uh Vader Stewart, Jackson, Barline. 184 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.200 What was that there? 185 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.399 Local? They're local beat writers, says there's no house left. 186 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.919 Yeah, it's just a buston And I think that's about it. 187 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.519 I mean, seriously, though, Hey, can I ask, because honestly, 188 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.759 I haven't been tuned into the MLB since the Braves 189 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.360 the while back, Like, I know a couple of things 190 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.320 about baseball at the moment, but not a lot. What 191 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.360 was the Twins record? I mean, they're not the rockiest 192 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:21.480 I know that. 193 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:28.919 They were while they were sitting. They started out hot 194 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.320 the first few weeks. They came out like gangbusters. The 195 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.399 whole Division was kind of being mid at the time. 196 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.159 Like the Tigers came out and went oh and two 197 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.240 or oh and three versus the Angels and then lost 198 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.600 the first game of the next series and then slowly 199 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.519 started to win series. Then you had the Guardians go 200 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.720 into their slump because they all of a sudden jumped up. 201 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.879 Then you had the Royals that were floundering between third 202 00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.879 and fourth the whole time. Now they're in third, the 203 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.000 Twins are in fourth, and of course the White Sox 204 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.279 they never started. 205 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.480 But the Twins are. Let's be honest, the Twins are 206 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.879 twelve games behind the Tigers. That's a huge lead. And 207 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.679 that's what the Tigers having their slump that they just 208 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.200 got over where they were. I don't remember exactly the record, 209 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.399 but they went through a swum. 210 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.840 Sixty the way right right. 211 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:26.360 But we were during that slump that you were talking about. 212 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.639 We were three games under five hundred during that month 213 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.240 long slump, right and we hadn't been that all season. 214 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.600 And somebody says, is this the Tigers we were gonna 215 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.320 have the rest of the season. I was like, no, 216 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.080 it's a slump people. Look the bats went. We didn't 217 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.080 have a single player batting less than two forty at 218 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.240 the start of the slump. Now we don't have a 219 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:51.600 batter over two fifty. That's how bad it was. It 220 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.759 wasn't just one player, it was the whole team, it 221 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.799 was like, uh, they also were leading the league in 222 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.960 the least amount of errors, and now we're down to 223 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.440 where we're like twelve through thirteenth. During that month long slump, 224 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.519 schoobl was the only guy that was pitching anything, and 225 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.559 he just couldn't get any run support, which is why 226 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.200 we still lost games with him. It was crazy. 227 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:16.679 I agree. 228 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:20.000 And can I say this too, y'all are just talking 229 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:25.919 about the Twins and they're twelve games back. The Braves 230 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.480 they're fourteen, fifteen games back. Whatever it is now, I 231 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.240 can scroll down here and find out. Let's see Braves 232 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.200 sixteen games back and they have tons of talent. But 233 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.480 the Twins, you're only six games under five hundred. What 234 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.960 in the world makes you want to wholesale this way? 235 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:53.159 Because they they got by Chicago White Sox, that's what happened. 236 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.960 Is it a new hat? No, But this is something 237 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.320 way more long term than that. If you're only six 238 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:04.960 games under five hundred, there is something that is way 239 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.159 more below the surface here than we don't know, because 240 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.480 that is not a record to get fired for in 241 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:11.360 my opinion, right. 242 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.279 No, And I think what happened is when they lost 243 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:17.600 a certain key game key teams like the Royals and 244 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.840 the White Sox here over the past month and a half, 245 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.440 and then they couldn't win a series when they won 246 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:29.000 the first game versus US no less, then they lost 247 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.159 the series to the Guardians when they won the first 248 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.879 two in a four game series, but they ended up 249 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.159 actually being a five because of a makeup game and 250 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.480 a doubleheader, so they lost that series. They lost three 251 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.919 straight series in the division during their slump, and I 252 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.679 think the owner is like saying, fine, get rid of everybody. 253 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.759 We're starting over and we're going to have an all 254 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.159 new front office next year. 255 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.200 I know that there's somebody for Atlanta that's saying that 256 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.320 same thing, sair. 257 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.320 Yeah, and it's weird because the Braves have been so 258 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.320 good for so long. 259 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:14.039 But yeah, overall all but not championships. 260 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.519 Yeah, I mean division titles, a bunch of first round exits. 261 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.120 I mean. 262 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.279 That's the way we see it. We see it like 263 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.159 the Baltimore Ravens are the Dallas Cowboys, which NFL talk's 264 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.480 coming up shortly on fire Up. Don't forget that, So 265 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.440 Candy out, you get back in here. What was your 266 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.440 trade stuff? You give us a couple of your trade 267 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:36.639 things to react to. 268 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.759 The Brewers got another catcher. 269 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:41.799 Uh. 270 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:46.200 One of the big surprises I think was that the 271 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:50.159 Marlins did not get rid of Sandy Alcinterra. There was 272 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.679 a lot of a lot of talk about that the 273 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:54.799 last couple of weeks that they thought he would go. 274 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.200 I don't know if it was maybe the slow start 275 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.919 that he had come back from his surgery and he 276 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.240 wasn't performing as well. But his last last outing he 277 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.960 was had five no hit innings and stuff like that. 278 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.960 I think that was one of the biggest surprises. Miami's 279 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.480 not doing as bad as everybody thought they would, like 280 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:23.400 they've been rebuilding, but they're doing They're doing a lot better. 281 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.799 I mean I watched them. They took two from two 282 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.119 out of three games, but in Milwaukee. They went up 283 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.400 to Milwaukee and took two out of three. Uh, they're 284 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:35.240 they're playing, they're gelling together, and they're playing as a team, 285 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:40.160 and they're they're scrappy. You know, these are young, young, 286 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.920 young guys. Now. The only trade that they did that 287 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.960 I remember that they made is that they traded their catcher, 288 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.759 Nick forties. And because they have prospects there and they 289 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.960 have some young guys that they're bringing up. But as 290 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.640 far as other trades, you know, I was surprised. I 291 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.839 didn't feel like there was a lot of the big 292 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:08.599 name movement. There wasn't much of that. A little bit 293 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.920 here and there, but not as much as I would 294 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:16.000 have thought a lot of a lot of not as 295 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.640 well known. But I think you go ahead. 296 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.920 Can I follow you with that? You're I mean, you 297 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.000 were leading me right to one of the points. And 298 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.720 that's how we'll we'll transition to NFL here in just 299 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:32.599 a minute, based off of this question. But that's exactly 300 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.839 why I wanted to go through some of these trades, 301 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:36.279 because it. 302 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:39.880 Wasn't about the players, it was about the team. 303 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.920 You saw which teams are contending, which teams are saying, hey, 304 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.240 you know what, we're out of it. And then of 305 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.480 course you see teams like the Braves who do almost 306 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.680 nothing basically. So that's here and there. 307 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.079 But thank you, thank you for Rafael Montero Wednesday night. 308 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:05.559 By the way, Yeah, y'all can have them. Hey, it 309 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.319 can't be any worse than what we had in the 310 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:12.559 bullpen already, That's all I got to say. Oh we must. 311 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.720 We had we had seven run leads that disappeared in 312 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.039 the eighth inning, three times in a row versus Seattle. 313 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.319 Oh oh, well, check this out. The Braves were just 314 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.720 up on the Reds eleven to three. Cincinnati just tied 315 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.440 the game. It is now eleven to eleven. 316 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.519 But yeah, it was four run lead when I logged 317 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:36.599 on here a minute ago. 318 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.240 But yeah, these guys are apparently too good to get 319 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.240 rid of, apparently a double a. So there's that. 320 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.839 Well, and then they looked at all these and they 321 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.559 there was Ozouna, and he said, we're not just going 322 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:52.640 to give him up for nothing. 323 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.240 And as you. 324 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.359 Pointed, to lose him for nothing in the offseason. 325 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:57.759 That's exactly your point. 326 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.799 But again, it's been more about the teams and things 327 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.160 like that. 328 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:04.519 And so here's my question to everybody. 329 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.599 We'll start with some here, Taylor, and then Candy and 330 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:08.279 then Jeremy. 331 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.920 We'll go that way around. 332 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.960 So can you imagine the day that the NFL trade 333 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:20.000 deadline ever becomes half of what the MLB trade deadline 334 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.119 is Because we're sitting around there on our seat all day. 335 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.759 We can't wait to see the big name that gets traded. 336 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.480 And then the MLB there's trades, but it might not 337 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:36.519 be the big name always. But it's entertaining. I want 338 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.079 to see it happen in the NFL. 339 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.400 Do you am I wrong, Samir? 340 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.920 You tell me, yeah, I mean for me, I don't 341 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:47.200 ever see the NFL trade deadline becoming what the MLB 342 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.799 trade deadline is for mainly two reasons. Number One, teams 343 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.559 in the NFL really just don't tink. You may have 344 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.640 some teams that are just flat out bad, but you 345 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.880 don't see NFL teams tanking. Like, yeah, you may have 346 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.039 fans that want to tank for a higher draft pick, 347 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:09.880 which I guess is normal across sports. But you know, 348 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.039 your time as a you usually like the average NFL 349 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:19.680 career is like what two or three years? So I 350 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:25.880 mean NFL players, I feel like, are not going to tank. Organizations, coaches, 351 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.519 front offices, they're not going to tank well. And also 352 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:35.279 another reason is it is harder, in my opinion, to 353 00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:41.680 find and develop, you know, homegrown talent in the NFL 354 00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:47.559 than it is for saying major League Baseball, because you know, 355 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:52.279 NFL you've got fifty three roster spots. Major League Baseball, yeah, 356 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.200 you've got your twenty six man roster, but you've also 357 00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.599 got you know, the different pharma systems in the minor leagues, and. 358 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.799 From that standpoint. 359 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.000 That's why you won't see the NFL trade deadline ever 360 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.079 become what the MLB is, if that makes sense. 361 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:14.880 Yeah, No, I just hate it for the NFL, like 362 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.160 I want it so bad, Like I don't know, like 363 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.480 I'm literally that's one thing as a sports fan, Like 364 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.440 I'm literally itching for the NFL trade deadline to be 365 00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:24.799 like that. 366 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.200 So so you're one of those ones that see all 367 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:29.440 the clickbait articles from all the teams for the big 368 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.440 trades that can happen.
