Ben Maller, I don't know if your if 3 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.039 your trade deadline clock is shown the same thing, but 4 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.039 forty two minutes and change until the trade deadline in 5 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.280 Major League Baseball. 6 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.920 We got moving pieces all over the place. He's Ben Maller. 7 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.839 I'm Jonas Knox in for Rogan and Rodney here on 8 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.359 AM five to seventy LA Sports, and there's nobody better 9 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.359 at breaking it all down, either happy with the inactivity 10 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.880 of the Dodgers or upset about it. He's gonna call 11 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.880 it as he sees it. Your good friend and ours 12 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.359 the one and only. David Vasse joining us here now 13 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.079 on a five seventy Dave, what's happening? Happy Tuesday? 14 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.000 Wow? Back to back days with Ben Mallard. Jonas, I 15 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.399 apologize that is worthy of going to HR. 16 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.320 I actually went to HR last night. A little birdie 17 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.640 told me you're trashing me on the petrols and money. 18 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.479 Show you what's wrong with you. 19 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.079 Keep my name out of your mouth. Keep my name 20 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.560 out of your mouth. I say, I know, I know, 21 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.079 I'm the most fascinating man in the world, and I'm 22 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:08.920 in your head. But you got to talk about me 23 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.200 on other shows. How dare you? 24 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:16.760 I talked about you on your own show yesterday. 25 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.480 I wasn't listening when you talk right now? Yeah, Envy 26 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:21.959 my god? 27 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.159 So Dave, are you hearing anything with forty minutes now 28 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.799 and change until the deadline? Are you hearing any rumblings 29 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.439 in San Diego? Obviously the Tanner Scott deal was a 30 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.599 target for the Dodgers, but you know San Diego was 31 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.400 able to make the move. Are you hearing anything about 32 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.719 what the Dodgers are planning or what they're working on 33 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.120 with a little over a half hour left? 34 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.200 Well, with what the Padres gave the Marlins, it was 35 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.239 consistent what the Marlins have been asking every team for 36 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.079 two of their top ten prospects, and the Padres were 37 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.920 willing to meet that price. So they have a very 38 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:04.560 formidable bullpen now with Scott, with their existing closer Roberto Suarez, 39 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.400 and also picking up Jason Adam from the race. So 40 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.319 they've shortened the game in a big way, and they 41 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.240 may not have the durability of their starting pitchers one 42 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.080 through five, but that's the direction aj Preller thought he 43 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.199 could go to shorten the game and support his starting rotation. 44 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.360 So that's very, very formidable. And for the Dodgers, going 45 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.199 back to last week and two weeks ago, and I 46 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.479 just got a call about forty minutes ago from a 47 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.039 source connected to the White Sox. They are asking for 48 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.240 Dalton Rushing in a trade package for Garrett Crochet, and 49 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.639 the Dodgers are unwilling to meet that asking price. And 50 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.240 I don't blame them. They could use Dalton Rushing and 51 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.919 possibly another trade in the op season to acquire somebody 52 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:57.120 that maybe is a little bit more dependable considering Crochet's innings, 53 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:03.039 considering Crochet's help history. So that's where it stands right now. 54 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.199 Jack Flaherty is still on the board. But going back 55 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.879 to a Dodger talk I did a couple of weeks ago. 56 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.400 If you want to think out of the box, the 57 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.800 out of the box trade for the Dodgers is Vladimir 58 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.159 Guerrero Junior. He's the impact bat the Dodgers need, and 59 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.879 my understanding is he would be willing to play third 60 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.759 base for the Dodgers. So to me, that was the 61 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.520 out of the box trade, and who knows, maybe that 62 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.879 still happens. 63 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.039 Are you playing that seed Masset right now? Sweet? 64 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.280 That out put that on Twitter. Come on, I'd like you. 65 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.120 I would approve of that trade that that would be 66 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:39.479 that has a. 67 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:41.599 See I can. 68 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.439 I can get on board with Vladimir Guerrero although he's 69 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.159 is he in shape now? I know he was out 70 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:47.840 of shape for a while, So if he's in shape, 71 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.479 I'm all for it. And he hadn't had a great 72 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.599 year in Toronto, but I'd put him in the middle of. 73 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.280 Ben Actually he got off to a bad start, but 74 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.800 since the beginning of May, he's the best hitter in baseball. 75 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.520 He's right up there with Juan Soto. So the overall time. 76 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.479 I take him, Yeah, I've heard of the guy. I 77 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:05.439 would take him about. 78 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.840 Max Munsey, is he ever going to play again? Don't 79 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.879 the Dodgers beat some coverage at third base? 80 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.520 I think you'll be hosting Dodger Talk with you, Max, 81 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.800 He'll be doing the show with you postgame Dodger Talk 82 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.560 coming up in here. I mean, it does feel day. 83 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.079 And we kind of kicked this around, you know a 84 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.759 little bit last week. We kicked it around yesterday that 85 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.439 I really firmly believe that they're thinking, is well, our 86 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.360 de facto trade deadline is going to be when all 87 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.959 these guys come back. But the fact that Dave Roberts 88 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.160 was so open about the idea of, well, we need 89 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.959 to do something, does that mean that maybe he's not 90 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.279 as confident as some others are in the organization about 91 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.920 them being able to rely on health down the stretch. 92 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.079 Well, whenever you're relying on players to come back that 93 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.839 haven't played in a while, there's no guarantees. Bruce Stark 94 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.560 graderol is expected to come back within the next ten days. 95 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.319 The Dodgers traded for Tommy Edmund, who is coming off 96 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.120 risk surgery. Guys that come off risk surgery usually are 97 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.000 not the same hitter until the following season, So those 98 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.959 are not guarantees that these guys are going to come 99 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.120 back and perform at a high level that you would expect. 100 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.279 So that's part of the thinking from anybody that is 101 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:25.560 wanting more. But look, the Dodgers, I'm a believer that 102 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:31.439 Michael Kopek and Tommy Edmund will help the greater good 103 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.560 of the team. You're only as good as the sum 104 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.000 of your parts, and that's how I feel those two 105 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.600 guys help the Dodgers. 106 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:42.319 I disagree. 107 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.920 I know I do want Ben Well, why do you 108 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.439 want the Dodgers to trade for. That was satisfying, David. 109 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.279 They traded for a guy who hasn't played, who you 110 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.360 said as a risk injury, and a guy who's been 111 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:55.560 an abject failure as. 112 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.079 A pitcher his entire career. 113 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.920 Why should you, as a fan, why should you think 114 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.839 that's going to help the greater good of the team. 115 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.480 I mean, I hope they do. I hope I'm wrong, But. 116 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.079 Don't tell me that that's that's an exciting move. That's 117 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.079 not an exciting move. 118 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:10.079 It's not. 119 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.399 I didn't say it was an exciting move. I feel 120 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.879 like the exciting move was signing Tommy during the off season. 121 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.000 That's great, But that's that's already that's already done. But 122 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.560 you you know, listen, you always have to improve. You 123 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:23.800 always have to improve the team. 124 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.519 And I feel like they did. They got better defense. 125 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.560 You think that that was a problem, all right, I 126 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.399 well will respectfully disagree. I want to see something we 127 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.680 still have? What we got thirty five minutes. 128 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.920 I want to know what you still have not expressed? 129 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:40.879 Who you want? Who do you want that? 130 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.600 Nathan Nathan of Aaldy, That's who I want. 131 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.639 They're not trading Nathan of all why not go there 132 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.879 only three games the Rangers are not trading, then. 133 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.079 Trade the entire Minleell get it all right, Jack Flaerity 134 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.879 Boom from the Detroit Tigers, get him. 135 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.360 I'm all in for that. Yeah, get Jack Clarity, all. 136 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.720 Your buddy's over there, and make it happen. 137 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.360 Come on, you're saying, if they trade for Jack Clarity, 138 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.519 you would be satisfied and call this a win for 139 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.279 the Dodgers. 140 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.120 That would be not a loss. Right now, it's a loss. 141 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.920 How about that? Right now? It's a loss. 142 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.639 You traded for a guy you traded for last year, 143 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.199 who's okay, he's an average player, a Rozario and. 144 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.839 Then ing over three hundred. How many Dodger role players 145 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:23.319 are doing that? 146 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:24.160 Yeah? 147 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.319 Okay, that was with Tampa Bay in front of seven people. Okay, 148 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.360 let's see what he does. Let's see what he does 149 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.120 with the Dodgers when the bright lights are on and 150 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:32.399 the pressure's on and all that stuff. 151 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.319 We'll see. And he was there last year, so we'll 152 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:34.759 find out. 153 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.519 But this is you know, this remind isn't I hope 154 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:39.759 the Dodgers win the World Series and I'll have but 155 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.120 this reminds me of what they used to do back 156 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:41.639 in the old days. 157 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.399 You do nothing. 158 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.600 By the way, Dave, I do want to keep you 159 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.199 up to speed as to what the feedback has been 160 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.879 from the people listening to the show. Nature Boy right 161 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.399 rights in on Twitter. He said you should warn Vass 162 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.040 to watch his mouth with Mallard today or lebron might 163 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.519 get Bronnie to replace him. And he photo shopped Brownie 164 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.519 James's face on you wearing a cast at the Brewers 165 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.240 game after you suffered your injury. So I'm just letting 166 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.360 you know that there is there is some feedback coming 167 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.000 in on people creative. 168 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.079 Yeah, it's very fad. 169 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:17.319 Are you gonna rip that guy? Of course you're gonna 170 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.319 rip that guy. Let me tell you best say you've changed. 171 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.600 I've known Bessy. We were both young punks when we 172 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:25.600 started out, and Bessy's cast And is it true, is 173 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.199 it true that the point of demarcation was seven hundred 174 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.759 and twelve days ago when you went down that slide, 175 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.600 Bernie Brewers Slide in Milwaukee that ever since then did 176 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.399 you came out of that cast of Bessay? You have 177 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.440 been different. You don't look out for the little man anymore. 178 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.000 You hang out with the robber barons. You hang out 179 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.240 with the aristocrats, that's the crowd, and you spit Loogi's 180 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.039 at the third ship. How many shots you take at 181 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.159 the overnight worker? Like there's some flotsam and JEsum? Do 182 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.759 you understand commerce is moved overnight? That society would not exist. 183 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.080 With the overnight workers. 184 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.080 That's a line. That's a line. 185 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.919 Callers, the Ben Mallard callers, they would they would fall 186 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.759 in the bucket of unemployed. 187 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.559 That is incorrect. They all have great jobs.

I'm not sure we can top the 289 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.080 Isaiah Kiner FILEFFA trade. 290 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:58.840 I don't know how we can get over that one. 291 00:13:58.879 --> 00:13:59.559 That's a big one. 292 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.120 And by by the way, was uh, were you the 293 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.600 one who so? Was it Dave that throughout Vlad Guerrero Junior? 294 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.399 Or was it Yeah? 295 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.440 He tossed that out? He said, yeah, he just out 296 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:11.960 of thin air, he tossed out that name. 297 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.399 Not that he heard that from anyone, No, not at all. 298 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.200 I'm sure No one might have floated that name to. 299 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.399 That never happens. 300 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:22.799 Ever. 301 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:28.240 Ever, don't you think that if vlad Guerrero Junior, which 302 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.519 would I think qualify as a big time movie, that's 303 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.759 a second straight he's got he's got it. And obviously 304 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.799 you know his dad playing for the Angels all those 305 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.480 years back in southern California. There's some ties there. But 306 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.840 don't you think a name like that we would have 307 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.639 heard more about if it was actually gonna happen. Like, yes, 308 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.519 But the Dodgers, I will give they have gone stealth 309 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.840 from time to time. It's like they don't always air 310 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.559 their laundry for everyone to see. So there there have 311 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.399 been occasions in this regime where the Dodgers have made 312 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.559 a move that's kind of come out of left field. 313 00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.360 So it is it's possible. 314 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.120 I haven't heard a lot the last couple days about 315 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.480 Vladimir Guerro Junior. I do pay attention to the stuff 316 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.919 because I'm a loser, so I pay attention to the rumors. 317 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.279 I ran a rumor website for years, so I love 318 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.519 the rumor more than the actual. Ta's great, Well, it's wonderful, guys. 319 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.080 I did just see this from Mike Finesan said quote. 320 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.360 For those who wondered whether the Blue Jays might reverse 321 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.639 course and trade their controllable players like Flag Guaro Junior, 322 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.120 sources say Toronto has no plans to move him. 323 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:27.000 Ah, they will. Plans changed, Kevin, plans changed. They might 324 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.159 change in the next twenty minutes. You're right, man, Yeah, 325 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.240 I was planning on sleeping right now. But look at 326 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.759 me now I am talking to you. And by the way, 327 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.399 here's here's here's another. 328 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.200 Fair enough, by the way, here's another. You know, maybe 329 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.120 a little wrinkle to throw into things. Maybe Toronto doesn't 330 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.799 want to deal with the Dodgers after what happened with 331 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:46.600 Shoeo Tani. 332 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.200 Maybe like, no, we're not going to help you out. 333 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.639 Yeah we're not. 334 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.399 Yeah, we're not gonna send over a flat or Boba 335 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.360 shad or anybody like that. We're not helping you out. 336 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.240 I also thought this, Do you think that maybe the 337 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.919 Padres some of the motivation for them making the Tanner 338 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.320 Scott move upon finding out the Dodgers were interested, is 339 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.519 maybe a little revenge for the Max Scherzer fiasco that 340 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:07.679 took place a couple of years ago where the Padres. 341 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.120 It was basically reported on by everybody that Schureser was 342 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.039 going to San Diego and then the Dodgers stepped up 343 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.360 sweeten the offer, and next thing you know, he's with 344 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.279 the Dodgers. Like, do you think do you think there's 345 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.559 some revenge maybe uh Plugar. 346 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.480 Crudge, Yeah, something like that. Udge, Yeah. 347 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.200 I mean, it's not impossible to think that's that's the case. 348 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.279 I like my conspiracy that was sent to me by 349 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.879 someone that the Padres are just doing this because they're 350 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.720 gonna have to start trading away contracts in the offseason 351 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.279 as well. The owner died right before this season, so 352 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.840 they didn't have time to do it necessarily. How about 353 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.519 that there's it epic fire sale in Miami. They just 354 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.799 traded another guy I've never heard of to the Mets. 355 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.879 I think they've traded six or seven players off their 356 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.519 twenty six man roster today, Like in the last few hours. 357 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.559 They got a game tonight, don't they? 358 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:05.599 Yeah, okay, good luck? 359 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:07.319 You know why not? 360 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.480 You know it is? I do wonder though, because you'll 361 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.920 see some guys get really emotional when they're saying by 362 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.599 to their teammates. I wonder how many are players that 363 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.720 are like, listen, I don't. 364 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.200 Have a family. This team sucks, you know, just get. 365 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.880 Me the hell out of here, see you guys later on. 366 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.039 Because one of those things to where well everybody like. 367 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.640 And listen. I think this applies to everybody listening. 368 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.880 You'll have a co worker who you're really bummed out 369 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.519 that they left, and you're like, well, you know, at 370 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.000 least I know we're going to stay in touch, and 371 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.000 like about you know, two months later, you never hear 372 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.200 from him again, and it's like, yes, it's just life 373 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.759 goes on.
