Speaker 1: This is the In This League Fantasy Podcast network, In
Speaker 1: This League Fantasy Baseball podcast online at in This League
Speaker 1: dot com. Now here's your host, Bogman and the Welsh.
Speaker 2: What's up, friends of Welcome into the In This League
Speaker 2: Fantasy Baseball Podcast. I'm Chris Welsh. That is Scott Bogman.
Speaker 2: You know that today we're talking about the latest news,
Speaker 2: lookinging at two start pitches for next week and taking
Speaker 2: a week early look at the MLB trade deadline. Bogman
Speaker 2: put together. I think there's some ESPN article out there
Speaker 2: that which we will just do some commentary on of
Speaker 2: likely prospects that could go, opportunities that could open up,
Speaker 2: and then of course the players, the players themselves, the
Speaker 2: rumors that are floating out there, some hilarious stuff. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna save it not to like get into it at
Speaker 2: the top, but like there's just some I just see
Speaker 2: these hilarious I just say the one thing when I
Speaker 2: see like, oh, the Red Sox wants CJ Abrams so bad.
Speaker 2: They It's like, yeah, dull, everybody wants them. Like I
Speaker 2: see these reports like it's like, guys, they're really going
Speaker 2: after it. It's like, do you know what you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to give up to give get c J Abrams.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what the.
Speaker 3: Trade do in the bad Santa. Yeah, well one in
Speaker 3: one hand and s in the other, and yeah which
Speaker 3: one fills up first? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Really cool report. Would you guys also like Otani? What
Speaker 2: about Agunya? What do you guys think this?
Speaker 3: Just in Scott Bogman would like to have sex with
Speaker 3: the Anna day Armis. Look at that. I cannot believe that.
Speaker 3: That is shocking, shocking development. Everybody look at that.
Speaker 2: It is the billy Bob thing. Put the Billy Bob
Speaker 2: in there. But I mean, I guess there was a
Speaker 2: time where cj. Abrams was, like, you know, heavily in
Speaker 2: trade rumors. But he's going to be more just because
Speaker 2: he's just so sought after. So that's what we can discuss.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: There there are the likely big names, there's the less likely,
Speaker 2: there's the big names that feel less likely, and then
Speaker 2: I don't know, frankly, there's I feel like every year
Speaker 2: there's like a surprise. There's like somebody that we just
Speaker 2: don't quite have an expectation for that's gonna get moved though.
Speaker 2: The thing I do think that is missing this year
Speaker 2: is the one trade that happens like a month or
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks before. I mean, like, wasn't it
Speaker 2: like the Luisa Rise one that happened like a year
Speaker 2: or two ago. Maybe I'm forgetting what it was last year,
Speaker 2: but I do feel like there's always like the trade
Speaker 2: that happens before and then there's like a base trade. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a little pre trade in there, and the teams
Speaker 2: have protected them all there trade. Yeah, they're they're protecting
Speaker 2: from pre trade because pre trade comes. You gotta numb
Speaker 2: yourself up to not pre trade. And what I say,
Speaker 2: I mean pre trade can have somebody pretty good.
Speaker 3: I like to do a trade early just so I
Speaker 3: don't pre trade, like right, Like, just do a trade
Speaker 3: a couple months early. That way, don't before you go
Speaker 3: out yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go out into the season going to yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, you don't want to look foolish in trade
Speaker 3: too early, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I exactly, everyone's gonna judge you. They're gonna talk,
Speaker 2: all the teams are gonna talk amongst themselves and be like,
Speaker 2: oh do you hear that one he trades early?
Speaker 3: So sorry everybody. This feels like a Marguerita Friday here
Speaker 3: by the way, and it's not this is a loopy
Speaker 3: Friday for me. I got like barely any sleep, so
Speaker 3: I'm weird.
Speaker 2: I literally just got back from the Odyssey, so like
Speaker 2: I'm in a weird space too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy's been on a journey today and I'm
Speaker 3: and I'm on a lack of sleep.
Speaker 2: So on an odyssey, I was for sure. But yeah,
Speaker 2: we're talking about the trade. That's what it was.
Speaker 3: This episode is oh, come on, dad, joke, come on boo.
Speaker 2: But we're talking about the trade deadline and all the
Speaker 2: names that are kind of floating out there. It's about
Speaker 2: a week away. I think this is a good time
Speaker 2: to do this because we are going to start being
Speaker 2: being into reacting mode about the trades. We're going to
Speaker 2: start within next week. You know, this weekend is probably
Speaker 2: going to be a pretty big precursor to what that
Speaker 2: what those are going to start looking like, and we
Speaker 2: might start having them sprinkle in and stuff, and really,
Speaker 2: you know, we don't. I mean, I suppose you could
Speaker 2: do this like a couple of days before of it,
Speaker 2: but like, these are the big names that are floating
Speaker 2: out there, So I think it's a good primer for
Speaker 2: us to kind of talk through it, and then as
Speaker 2: well as the prospects. I think because you had mentioned
Speaker 2: what we're going to do is Kyle McDaniel had put
Speaker 2: together likely prospects that we're going to be dealt, and
Speaker 2: we can kind of navigate.
Speaker 3: These teams by these are the prospects that are likely
Speaker 3: to be dealt. Because he also listed untouchables that that
Speaker 3: he considered untouchables, so I didn't put those in just Theah.
Speaker 2: Let's not do the who entire articles.
Speaker 3: So people, well, yeah, yeah, I'm just saying, you know,
Speaker 3: I want you did the right reaction from the article.
Speaker 2: That's okay, yeah yeah, but that's also the right move.
Speaker 2: We don't want to like have the entire article up them.
Speaker 3: It's on ESPN. It was I think Passon and McDonald
Speaker 3: wrote them both together.
Speaker 2: Was it paywall or not paywall?
Speaker 3: I think it might be.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying, that's why we don't want.
Speaker 3: To do it. Yeah yeah, but but go go to
Speaker 3: ESPN support, go support the little guy. Make sure they
Speaker 3: really they really need it. They really need when they're well,
Speaker 3: they're firing a bunch of people, obviously they need it.
Speaker 2: So what do you think about the whole like they're
Speaker 2: doing it because of Pat McAfee, and it's like, no,
Speaker 2: they're just doing it because like they're overweight in everything
Speaker 2: that they do. And I think the whole companty like Disney,
Speaker 2: so like a Disney brand is doing it. And then
Speaker 2: you know you, I think you saw it in Marvel.
Speaker 2: Marvel had like an element of it. And ESPN is
Speaker 2: doing it. And I mean, obviously names that hurt.
Speaker 3: But I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and defend
Speaker 3: anything to do. I don't really care. But I did
Speaker 3: also read that this was a move that some actors
Speaker 3: have done also, and Pat McAfee did it where he
Speaker 3: created his own production company for his show, so it's
Speaker 3: not just him and his show. It's also they're paying
Speaker 3: for his entire production company too, so that.
Speaker 2: That's what the big brands do, so they can't like
Speaker 2: go fire you know, some editor that's a part of
Speaker 2: the show. It's like, no, when they when they hire
Speaker 2: Pat McAfee, they're hiring through the production company. So when
Speaker 2: you see that Pat McAfee is making sixty million dollars
Speaker 2: a year, that's like to the production company. I mean,
Speaker 2: Pat McAfee's probably making forty million dollars a year, but
Speaker 2: you know he's putting it back into all the people
Speaker 2: that work their salaries and stuff like that, so we're
Speaker 2: not gonna we're not gonna cry poor God. Who was
Speaker 2: it I just saw man. I loved the comment. Oh
Speaker 2: it was the Barstoo guy. Actually it was Roan if
Speaker 2: anyone ever watches any of those shows, and it really
Speaker 2: resonated home with me where he was like, Dude, the
Speaker 2: trend I hate more than anything else athletes complaining about
Speaker 2: is the athlete that are pretending to be poor because
Speaker 2: of taxes. And he said he's like, he's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you got these guys that make twenty million dollars and
Speaker 2: they're like yeah, but you know, Uncle Sam takes fifty and.
Speaker 3: You're just getting this positioning from everybody, though you're getting
Speaker 3: it from the players. Have you seen the commercials? No?
Speaker 2: No, but but finish well, let me finish the fine.
Speaker 2: Because the thing that he says is he goes he's like,
Speaker 2: you know, uncle Sam's gonna take fifty, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you do know that everybody gets taxed by the way,
Speaker 2: and then then then they'll go to a new narrative
Speaker 2: where they're like, yeah, but I had to, you know,
Speaker 2: pay off one hundred and fifty thousand. I got to
Speaker 2: get my mom one hundred fifty thousand dollars car. And
Speaker 2: it is so tone deaf, like we give two craps
Speaker 2: about any of this stuff when when you do this,
Speaker 2: when you know, we're like can I can I please
Speaker 2: make what you were going to buy your mom a
Speaker 2: car for? That's miss of it. I think it's later.
Speaker 2: It was just something that I loved hearing because we've
Speaker 2: we're getting such a huge, huge push of that stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, baseball is their narrative. Literally is like fans
Speaker 2: being like, all, I just want a creditive balance, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like a Tim Robinson like, hmm, I just want
Speaker 2: competitive balance. It's like literally nobody I know talks about
Speaker 2: that nor cares at all. Right, they want to not
Speaker 2: have their games blacked out. They want to be able
Speaker 2: to afford the gas to get to a game if
Speaker 2: they're ever going to go to a game, And that's
Speaker 2: about it. And then they just want to like watch
Speaker 2: cool baseball. They want the baseballs to not change halfway
Speaker 2: through this season. They want ams to not be the
Speaker 2: worst person at their job. That's ever existed. Those are
Speaker 2: the things that people care about.
Speaker 3: I have no issue with all these amps getting chased
Speaker 3: by the way. Yay, bye bye Buckner, You've been miserable
Speaker 3: for fifteen years. Goodbye, good riddance. Yeah, and you're right.
Speaker 3: It's the posturing from both sides before a lockout. It's disgusting, right,
Speaker 3: the players who will only make this after time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: everybody pays TAXI.
Speaker 2: We all pay it. We all don't make what we make.
Speaker 3: And the owners putting commercials on like, oh, look at
Speaker 3: fans pulled want.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. Then some stupid ass fan,
Speaker 2: You know what I really want? Competitive balance?
Speaker 3: It's like, shut up, Yeah, I mean out of here,
Speaker 3: you're you're a human being. It's both sides trying to
Speaker 3: make themselves look good before both holding out for more money.
Speaker 3: And who gets screwed? We do because we don't get
Speaker 3: the sport that we want, right, So it's just it's gross.
Speaker 3: I'm already sick of it and it hasn't even happened yet.
Speaker 2: I remember what the context of any of this.
Speaker 3: Was, but it was two old men ranting about stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do we even get there? I didn't even
Speaker 2: know how we got on all that stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 2: balance huh.
Speaker 3: I think we were talking about ESPN and oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the ESPN firing and stuff like that, and
Speaker 2: it's yeah, I mean, it stinks to see that happen
Speaker 2: anywhere in any capacity and stuff like that, especially when
Speaker 2: there's some I.
Speaker 3: Love the like the revision is history too. They're like, uh,
Speaker 3: look at the Ryan Clark was fired because this argument
Speaker 3: with Peter Schreger, which was idiotic by Ryan Clark. But
Speaker 3: that was also like six months ago. If they were
Speaker 3: going to fire him over this argument with Peter Schreger,
Speaker 3: why wouldn't they have done it six months ago?
Speaker 2: I will say, I don't understand why he like did
Speaker 2: the show and they like pulled it like you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like they said they were gonna like
Speaker 2: pull them the neck. Did you read that whole thing where
Speaker 2: they were gonna like fire him on Tuesday and he
Speaker 2: was on a show on Monday, and then because everything leaked,
Speaker 2: they wanted to just quickly do it, so it happened
Speaker 2: like the minute he got off of it. That was
Speaker 2: kind of weird, But I don't know, I wasn't a I.
Speaker 3: Mean, just don't let your firings leak. Don't have people
Speaker 3: that are gonna leak that stuff. Find out where it's
Speaker 3: coming from.
Speaker 2: Well they I think they started doing it to people
Speaker 2: on Monday, and it's like, well, you're probably gonna have
Speaker 2: to do it with everybody then sorry, guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean drop the axe on everybody at the
Speaker 3: same time when we're doing I don't know, I don't
Speaker 3: know what's going on. Carl Ravage, Poor Karl Ravage. Dude's
Speaker 3: been there for like I know I'm talking.
Speaker 2: About that of all the people, I think everybody had,
Speaker 2: like there's a fondness of like dang, you know, but
Speaker 2: a little bit don't want to get into it, but
Speaker 2: like I very obviously everybody uh recent events as well.
Speaker 2: When you see people lose their jobs and stuff, you
Speaker 2: get like very concerned for the human being and things
Speaker 2: like that. But like take Diana 'resini for instance, She's
Speaker 2: just like, oh man, what a raw deal, And this
Speaker 2: is like should we really did? And then you learn
Speaker 2: she makes nine hundred thousand dollars a year and it's like, well,
Speaker 2: we're gonna be a little bit better than if I
Speaker 2: lose my job. We're gonna be a little bit better
Speaker 2: if we're Diana Roussini and you're making nine hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars year or your car rabbit right who's may probably
Speaker 2: making over a million dollars, and it's like that.
Speaker 3: That's and Diana Roussini quit, she quit to not be investigating.
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, I'm sure it was quit.
Speaker 3: No, she did quit. She did because she didn't want
Speaker 3: to be investigated, because she was, you know, looked the
Speaker 3: evidence looks like she was trading.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there was a mutual backing to say, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: there are plenty of jobs that are just like you know, hey,
Speaker 2: we can fire you or you can quit.
Speaker 3: Well, what what I think what happened with the Athletic
Speaker 3: was in the New York Times is they said, okay,
Speaker 3: we're going to investigate, and they were going to find
Speaker 3: out what other people have already put together. So she
Speaker 3: probably should just let them fire her anyway. But people
Speaker 3: put together that every big tightened story while Mike Frabile
Speaker 3: was head coach was broken by Diana Rasini.
Speaker 2: So I know all those things. I'm just saying, like
Speaker 2: I've been around those I've heard these conversations before. I
Speaker 2: know she quit, but there was probably a nice little
Speaker 2: package waiting for her so ESPN could be done of it,
Speaker 2: they could be clean of it. She didn't want to
Speaker 2: get investigated, she wasn't going to help with it. They
Speaker 2: wanted out of it. So there's a nice mutual parting
Speaker 2: that was coaxed up as she quit. But what some
Speaker 2: kind of package, whatever the side of it. Thank you box,
Speaker 2: Thank you Dad. You give on me about dad jokes.
Speaker 2: Get the hell out of here, dude. So I don't
Speaker 2: know how we got through that, but here's what I
Speaker 2: can tell you. In this league dot com. In this league,
Speaker 2: dot com is where you need to be joining up today,
Speaker 2: support your boys. I actually have the I've sucked at it.
Speaker 2: This week has been the literally the most crazy week
Speaker 2: of my life. Well not true, but work wise it's
Speaker 2: been insane. In this league dot com, I have the
Speaker 2: Prospect five hundred and dynasty staring at me. I just
Speaker 2: have got to go get it posted. So that is
Speaker 2: what I'm going to be doing. Uh, probably a little bit.
Speaker 2: I have a CBS hit tonight, but that'll be part
Speaker 2: of my process tonight. But in this league, dot com
Speaker 2: is where you can see the top five hundred, the
Speaker 2: top four hundred to five hundred prospects, Top four hundred dynasty.
Speaker 2: I've got seventy five plus on the first year players,
Speaker 2: So you guys can get prepared for that and more.
Speaker 2: You can get access to that being a sergeant in
Speaker 2: the ITL Army. You go and sign up, or you
Speaker 2: can be a lieutenant and you can act access to
Speaker 2: the group. Me rooms be a part of the stuff
Speaker 2: that we do. Talk to the community. Go in those rooms,
Speaker 2: have access to us. And on top of it all,
Speaker 2: you're supporting in this league, and we very much, very
Speaker 2: much appreciate you supporting in this league. It helps us
Speaker 2: go around. And you know, in this league is why
Speaker 2: we don't have to create fake charity events to be
Speaker 2: able to make a podcast bogs. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: We don't have to do ninety two leagues. Not saying
Speaker 2: anybody I know has done that, but they do just
Speaker 2: as a hypothetical thing. We because we have so many
Speaker 2: great people that support us or want us to succeed,
Speaker 2: it allows us to keep going. You know, you don't
Speaker 2: we don't have to create ninety seven ninety two fake
Speaker 2: charity leagues and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely no, neither do I. So I give you
Speaker 3: a round of applause for what you just did. So
Speaker 3: appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Also do a scouting school. No, I's just an idea.
Speaker 2: I had, just random idea.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, you know what, I think. I want
Speaker 3: to give you a bunch of money for that right now.
Speaker 3: But also in things that Welsh and I are doing
Speaker 3: together sometimes I have been jumping on leading off recently
Speaker 3: for all of you baseball fans. So if you're a
Speaker 3: fan of FP and leading off, I'm over there, I
Speaker 3: believe next week Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Speaker 2: I will tell you. I think I said this the
Speaker 2: other day. Obviously, the like the transition of not having
Speaker 2: Joe piece of Pia on there.
Speaker 3: It's just like it sucks for us two guys. I
Speaker 3: mean we don't like it either.
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, Like I mean I've been open about it,
Speaker 2: like I don't need to go into any of it.
Speaker 2: I'd say, like I've been open about it, like I've
Speaker 2: been open that you know, Joe's my friend and blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. But like it's weird and it's been a
Speaker 2: weird process. I've always been a host. I host this
Speaker 2: show and stuff like that, but there has been there's
Speaker 2: just like an error about it where we're trying to
Speaker 2: just you know, just get the footing through and continue
Speaker 2: doing what we're doing. But like we all kind of
Speaker 2: have like there's just no humanly possible way you cannot
Speaker 2: have that, and blah blah blah. But Wednesday's show with
Speaker 2: You and Me was probably my favorite show that I've
Speaker 2: done in a long time. It just like it felt
Speaker 2: that was kind of the normalcy and like that's gonna
Speaker 2: happen and some of it's in my head and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. You know, I mean, I'm still there, so
Speaker 2: I think most of that audience is like, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of has that familiarity and stuff like that. But
Speaker 2: you know, like I get put in a little bit
Speaker 2: of a different position because I host, and it maybe
Speaker 2: makes me analyze a little bit less. So that's kind
Speaker 2: of weird. And I don't want to say I felt
Speaker 2: stiff or anything like that. But Wednesday's show, the whole
Speaker 2: point of it was with you and Me. That was
Speaker 2: the one where I was like, oh it was it
Speaker 2: was funny, it had like it had just vibes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we had lots of information, lots of just kind of
Speaker 2: back and forth talk. So I actually appreciated that that.
Speaker 2: I feel like that kind of cracked the code a
Speaker 2: little bit for me to kind of just get back
Speaker 2: into the mold of doing those things because I don't
Speaker 2: want to try to do anything. I'm not gonna try
Speaker 2: to be just for any but yeah, I'm just I
Speaker 2: just like want to be mean. I want to do
Speaker 2: the shows that I do, and I want those to
Speaker 2: hopefully be like informative and entertaining and stuff, and like, uh,
Speaker 2: the irony of all the people you come on who
Speaker 2: we've been doing shows for twelve plus years and then
Speaker 2: we have there's just to me.
Speaker 3: It's almost like there's a natural chemistry there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was even a little bit beyond the
Speaker 2: chemistry tool. It's like just a comfortability of the show.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if anyone has a notice that
Speaker 2: that listens to leading off or whatever. That was one
Speaker 2: where I was like, yeah, that clicked, that clicked with me,
Speaker 2: and then and then I proceeded to be off for
Speaker 2: two days, which has been very helpful because I did
Speaker 2: that same day. By the way, that was the start
Speaker 2: of a six straight like podcast recording I had to do.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's that's give me like good vibes
Speaker 2: going into next week where it's like, okay, because sometimes
Speaker 2: I'm very mental about things where it's like I just
Speaker 2: needed to have that good feel and that was not
Speaker 2: the woman with Bubba or Rico or anything like that
Speaker 2: hasn't been there, but it was the first, like really
Speaker 2: good feel. So go listen to that. Bogman's point. I
Speaker 2: believe Bogman I will at least be doing a couple
Speaker 2: more shows through the rest of the seasons. We're kind
Speaker 2: of tagging down over there. But yeah, it's been great
Speaker 2: having you do it. But probably the most baseball you've
Speaker 2: done around this time of the year and god knows
Speaker 2: how long because we always do this show. But like
Speaker 2: also doing more preparation, like in a daily perspective for
Speaker 2: leading off kind of changes your brain into baseball a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, five five shows a week now, two for us
Speaker 3: and three for them at this point, so yeah, way
Speaker 3: more baseball stuff. But I mean, I'm always putting stuff
Speaker 3: together on the sheet, but you know, to have points
Speaker 3: every single day is you know, it is a lot.
Speaker 3: But it's also I mean, I don't mind you know,
Speaker 3: Wayne digging ditches. It was what I always say, we're
Speaker 3: talking about ball. I love it right and preparent.
Speaker 2: We're just talking about nonsense fifteen in this league dot com.
Speaker 2: In this league dot com, sign up today in this
Speaker 2: league dot com. I love you. I love you, I
Speaker 2: love you. In this league dot com. Please sign up.
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about some baseball stuff and then
Speaker 2: we're gonna do like a heavy kind of deep dive
Speaker 2: into the the trade deadline. I would love to will
Speaker 2: I will make a concerted effort for this. I do
Speaker 2: feel like August is a really really good time to
Speaker 2: be answering a lot of questions. We don't need to
Speaker 2: do voicemails because we know how that's gone this season,
Speaker 2: but I am going to and Theink'm gonna do it
Speaker 2: this weekend. I'm gonna schedule post that's gonna come out,
Speaker 2: and it's gonna come out like I think on Tuesday
Speaker 2: or Wednesday of each week, and I'll let you guys
Speaker 2: fill it up and we will go to that. And
Speaker 2: I think it'd be a really good thing for the
Speaker 2: rest of August to like answer some questions that you
Speaker 2: have that can be rest of season, that can be dynasty.
Speaker 2: I know those are all floating out. So there's another
Speaker 2: go over in this league dot Com. Let us answer
Speaker 2: your questions and I will just schedule them all out
Speaker 2: so I don't have to like come back to them.
Speaker 2: So I'd love to dig into that. But we'll do
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. That'll be good. We'll talk about the
Speaker 2: two start pitchers. But the latest news Bobby Witt Junior
Speaker 2: I l with back tightness. We kind of briefly talked
Speaker 2: about this before, or at least on leading off. Where
Speaker 2: are you sitting on the Bobby Witt stuff? I don't
Speaker 2: know if there's like a ton of new latest stuff
Speaker 2: that's out there, Like I haven't heard like a follow up.
Speaker 2: I think this was two days ago. Was the last
Speaker 2: that I saw anything. No other big team announcement, if
Speaker 2: this is going to go longer or what the hell
Speaker 2: it's going to look like. They're also kind of trying
Speaker 2: to figure out the trade deadline. But any long term
Speaker 2: concerns on Bobby wit Do you think this is like
Speaker 2: with back tightness. Do you think this is something that
Speaker 2: could linger and maybe bring him down for the season.
Speaker 2: Do you think they're going to be extra baby with it.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a critical time because you can't be
Speaker 2: too baby because if you're going to make a run
Speaker 2: and you're going to be at the trade deadline like
Speaker 2: you have a week. All these teams have a week
Speaker 2: to figure out who they are and what they are.
Speaker 2: And I know the Royals are twelve and a half
Speaker 2: back divisionally.
Speaker 3: In their eighteen games behind five hundred. They're done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess there was this little like yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess now that.
Speaker 3: They're gonna is babying him the one that you mentioned
Speaker 3: in the middle. There is maybing him back. Because there
Speaker 3: were actually trade rumors about Bobby Witt earlier in the season.
Speaker 3: I always kind of thought that was iral. There were well, dude,
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks were in them. It was the Diamondbacks for
Speaker 3: he was an absurd, you know, nonsense thing, you know,
Speaker 3: But they're out. My my concern is that, you know,
Speaker 3: any little twinge, any little thing at the end of
Speaker 3: the season, they would mention him for. But I expect
Speaker 3: for a young guy like this, as soon as it
Speaker 3: there's no more lingering thing, he just comes back and
Speaker 3: he's fine. So this I don't think he's had, as
Speaker 3: he had the back injury many other times in his career.
Speaker 3: Is this a reoccurring thing? I don't remember it happened before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really recall this being something that's up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it is. So I I don't
Speaker 3: expect this to be a long term thing. That doesn't
Speaker 3: seem like he's gonna need surgery for it, right, maybe
Speaker 3: a cor Zone shot and then go, So.
Speaker 2: You want to hear some what's that?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 2: I mean to stop you mid Do you remember when
Speaker 2: we were doing those BP shows? What do you think
Speaker 2: it wasn't Bobby wit like number one in the MVP race?
Speaker 3: H he was for a little bit.
Speaker 2: And al what do you think he's at right now? Mm?
Speaker 3: Fifth?
Speaker 2: What do you think that number looks like?
Speaker 3: Plus seven fifteen? Uh?
Speaker 2: You nailed the five. By the way, he did move
Speaker 2: down to fifth, but he is thirty five to one
Speaker 2: because the Royals have kind of deteriorated. You want to
Speaker 2: take a guess what the top five is? Just just
Speaker 2: take a shot in the dark what the top five is?
Speaker 2: If you and try to do like order if you
Speaker 2: can or whatever. But I'll tell you if you get
Speaker 2: in the names. But the Bobby wit So for Jordan.
Speaker 3: Is in there? I think, yeah, God, Jordan is in there?
Speaker 3: Is Schlitler in there? Is he in the top five.
Speaker 2: Not for I think he's still so young, but not
Speaker 2: for MVP.
Speaker 3: God, because I want to say, I mean, obviously Judge
Speaker 3: isn't he hasn't been in there.
Speaker 2: No, I think there's one easier one. The other two
Speaker 2: are kind of tough. I'll give him two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I'm trying to. I'm looking. I'm
Speaker 3: just looking at the standings, trying to think of who
Speaker 3: it would be. Ben Rice is in there.
Speaker 2: Yes, he is in there. Okay, there's one you got.
Speaker 3: Is William Cortrez in there or Wilson? I mean no,
Speaker 3: but no, yeah, I don't know. Are the other So Alvarez.
Speaker 2: Is number one at minus three fifty, so runaway right now.
Speaker 2: Number two Junior Cameron Aro at five. Yeah, Ben Rice
Speaker 2: is three to one at twelve. I'm sorry, there's three
Speaker 2: at twelve to one. And then Nick Kurtz is a
Speaker 2: higher MVP.
Speaker 3: He's on the I L two.
Speaker 2: So he's on the I L two. My big argument,
Speaker 2: and this is what I want to go look at
Speaker 2: now I'm going to do this live here. Was like
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt, despite the team being as bad as they were,
Speaker 2: continuously was able to be like the most valuable war guy. Defensively,
Speaker 2: he was a plus batting average was up. Looked like
Speaker 2: he was gonna be like a twenty five forty or
Speaker 2: twenty five to fifty guy. He's now been surpassed by
Speaker 2: Dude yard On Alvarez is number one in the AL.
Speaker 2: Then I got a couple of things here. We got
Speaker 2: to do this. You won't even get I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: you one. Guess it's a catcher in the AL that
Speaker 2: has a higher war currently than Bobby whit Junr A catcher.
Speaker 3: Is that not Ben Rice?
Speaker 2: No, I'm not counting, and Ben Rice is not the one.
Speaker 2: Ben Rice actually has a sure what he's not listed
Speaker 2: on it, but he's three point four war. This guy
Speaker 2: has a four point eight war. It's the most ridiculous name.
Speaker 3: I don't have it. Who is it?
Speaker 2: Dylan Dingler has a four point eight war. It is
Speaker 2: third best in baseball, second best are on Fangrasse.
Speaker 3: Can you look what's the difference between offensive and defensive
Speaker 3: in that? Like the the number next to war just
Speaker 3: to the left of it. Yeah, there's usually like a
Speaker 3: who for Dingler? Is this like maz from defense?
Speaker 2: No? Well, I mean it's offense has been great, but
Speaker 2: in nineteen nineteen on offense, fourteen on defense. But Bobby
Speaker 2: Wood Junior is a fourteen on offense and a seventeen
Speaker 2: on defense. Jord On Alvarez is a negative defensive, but
Speaker 2: he's forty six on offense. Can you guys see the
Speaker 2: number one player in war is and by the way,
Speaker 2: they are more than a full point higher than Nordon Alvarez.
Speaker 2: Probably only a couple of names you could choose from.
Speaker 2: It is six point.
Speaker 3: Four War James Wood.
Speaker 2: No, he is number six in the league at four
Speaker 2: point one seven players, no position. Yeah, Schwarber's not even
Speaker 2: on here? Is it as it is? Pete Crow Armstrong
Speaker 2: with a six point four he has been out there,
Speaker 2: number one in War twenty one homers, twenty five stolen
Speaker 2: base is hitting two eighty two. My god, how we
Speaker 2: have turned from the bad, the historically bad second halves
Speaker 2: of Pete Crow and Bobby and James Wood into what
Speaker 2: this season looks like right now and maybe as impressive.
Speaker 2: I would just like to point out Kevin McGonagall and J. J.
Speaker 2: Weatherholder are still top ten in war amongst hitters in baseball,
Speaker 2: which GT does absolutely the same thing Bobby Wid did
Speaker 2: have the back injury in twenty twenty five, so this
Speaker 2: is a recurring thing. Okay, that's what I don't like.
Speaker 2: I don't like to hear that.
Speaker 3: He said knee and back stuff two years in a row.
Speaker 2: So no thumb stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't see any thumb stuff.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I got to hit up Best Press with our thumb
Speaker 3: stuff reference for our thumb stuff there. But yeah, at
Speaker 3: the end of the year, I don't think he missed
Speaker 3: much time with the back. But at the end of
Speaker 3: the year he did have a back issue in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five, and we're midway through the year and another
Speaker 3: back issue, so it is something reoccurring. So again I
Speaker 3: am concerned, you know, I mean, are you looking to
Speaker 3: trade Bobby Witt right now because they're out of it
Speaker 3: he has a back injury. And if so, what do
Speaker 3: you even like, what do you even expect back for
Speaker 3: Bobby Witt right now? I mean it's ton.
Speaker 2: Yeah right now. Kind of stinks because they because the
Speaker 2: person has like a little extra hold on you sure
Speaker 2: back or whatever. Yeah, he comes back. I mean, could
Speaker 2: you consider doing like.
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 2: You know, I staring at you think you could get CJ.
Speaker 2: Abrams and a Bobby Wit junior trade that isn't one
Speaker 2: for one that you get a piece with. I don't
Speaker 2: think you can.
Speaker 3: I don't think you can.
Speaker 2: Maybe you could try to get like what if you
Speaker 2: went after like a Miguel Vargas and I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a Vargas and a picture Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Vargus and just trying to look around to
Speaker 2: see a pitch. I mean, Sean Burke seems weird, Cade
Speaker 2: Cavali seems weird. Ro BLESSI could you get real Blessky
Speaker 2: and Miguel Vargas.
Speaker 3: I think might be on the top end of the
Speaker 3: pictures that you could get, or like of the performing
Speaker 3: pictures here.
Speaker 2: But like would that satisfy your team need? Where you
Speaker 2: get you get rid of like this exceptionally great player,
Speaker 2: especially when healthy and stuff that you get Vargas and Robleski,
Speaker 2: Is that enough to kind of push?
Speaker 3: Yeah? If I'm still winning without Bobby wit and you know,
Speaker 3: then yes definitely. But if I'm sinking like a stone,
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe that's not enough. I don't know,
Speaker 3: but I do think that I'm like sixty forty in
Speaker 3: the trade camp right now. I'd rather probably get rid
Speaker 3: of him again. You want to do it after he
Speaker 3: comes back, so you get better value. But I think
Speaker 3: a Vargas and Robleski probably you might have to throw
Speaker 3: a picture back, you know what I mean, maybe someone
Speaker 3: that was good to start, like a David Martin who's
Speaker 3: kind of underperforming recently. But yeah, I think that's probably
Speaker 3: the range that you're looking at.
Speaker 2: Other news out there. I was shocked this actually happened
Speaker 2: on the live stream. I didn't even see it as
Speaker 2: I was with Bubba because I was in shows that day.
Speaker 2: Jose Ramirez was activated on Wednesday, completely skipping any type
Speaker 2: of rehab assignment, which I thought was cool. You don't
Speaker 2: really see that, man. I mean, I get selfish a
Speaker 2: little bit out here because it's like I want guys
Speaker 2: to come and play out here so I can go
Speaker 2: see them. But more to the point, you just rarely
Speaker 2: see this anymore. And I know you agree. It would
Speaker 2: be like the thing that we'd love to see them,
Speaker 2: like activate a little bit more. But he had two
Speaker 2: hits in that first game back. He I think he
Speaker 2: scored or you know, he didn't do anything in his
Speaker 2: second game back. He's not playing today, but he's back
Speaker 2: in action, and that's all that matters. And that was
Speaker 2: like a really good, pleasant surprise and hat you know,
Speaker 2: hand up. I thought he was gonna it was gonna
Speaker 2: be a lot worse. I thought it was gonna be
Speaker 2: something where I'm not sure what we were going to
Speaker 2: actually get out of him hindsight. Had I known Jose
Speaker 2: Ramirez was going to be activated like this dude in.
Speaker 3: Our draft, we did what Jack took him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't get him in like the fifth round or something, or.
Speaker 3: Is it I don't know if it was that deep.
Speaker 3: I can look it up though, because it was definitely
Speaker 3: late and he sent us a text to brag about it.
Speaker 2: I I would have taken him in the second round
Speaker 2: had I know. I mean, they're justifiably you could have
Speaker 2: maybe taken him in the first round if you knew
Speaker 2: he was only going to miss like a week of
Speaker 2: you know, your quote season when you redrafted, so you know,
Speaker 2: calculated risk. I've screwed up on Judge. I mean I
Speaker 2: took him in the seventh round. I don't know when
Speaker 2: the hell I'm gonna get him much. Would have rather
Speaker 2: taken Jose Ramier. Joseres might have gone after I took Judge.
Speaker 2: I'm not eleven. Yeah, Okay, so that was we were
Speaker 2: getting in a little bit of the rumors. I just
Speaker 2: didn't think it was gonna be this quick. I thought
Speaker 2: he was going to do a rehab assignment. I thought
Speaker 2: it would be early August, and then you have the
Speaker 2: fears in there. But nope, he's back, he's rolling, and
Speaker 2: y'all are blessed, blessed with his production. Another one of
Speaker 2: the guys that maybe we should have more concerns about.
Speaker 2: We have talked about it this week, but Jacob Zarowski
Speaker 2: four innings one and run six k's in the essentially
Speaker 2: the Management Game. I was the first version of the
Speaker 2: Management game where he went like sixty five pitches, I think,
Speaker 2: and this is what it looks like, and it's not good.
Speaker 2: It's not good for anybody here. You wrote a note.
Speaker 2: I can't seem to find this, so you tell me.
Speaker 2: I thought I saw he was moved up to Sunday.
Speaker 2: You're saying he's gonna miss this weekend with fatigue.
Speaker 3: Last night, the most recent report that I saw was
Speaker 3: that he will miss this weekend with fatigue. And that
Speaker 3: is what they're calling it, which I think is all nonsense.
Speaker 3: I think they're just trying to limit his innings. But
Speaker 3: actually the most recent thing that was on rotal wire
Speaker 3: but or on roat a World, but on rotal Wire,
Speaker 3: it does say that he'll start on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, I saw he was moved up earlier in
Speaker 2: the week, like they did this thing, and then they
Speaker 2: said they were actually gonna move him to Monday for
Speaker 2: whatever reason or I'm sorry, move him off of Monday
Speaker 2: to Sunday. And I don't know what that looks like.
Speaker 2: By the way, if what you're saying is true, I
Speaker 2: think the reason they have to do that stuff is
Speaker 2: MLBPA stuff. You know, like a PA could probably have
Speaker 2: some grievance if a team is just like not letting
Speaker 2: a guy pitch sure, you know, purposely limiting his innings
Speaker 2: like overtime, there might be some PA type of things.
Speaker 2: So they might be like, oh, it's fatigue and so
Speaker 2: I mean, I could be wrong about that, but I
Speaker 2: think that's a little bit. So So here here's what
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 3: It was on the twenty first, it was it looks
Speaker 3: like Adam mccalvey said that they wouldn't he wouldn't be
Speaker 3: starting this weekend, and then this morning mcalvey switched it
Speaker 3: and said that he will start on Sunday. So yeah,
Speaker 3: that was it.
Speaker 2: So we'll have to see what that looks like. I
Speaker 2: think I do want to see what this one looks like.
Speaker 2: I want to have these hopes of if this team
Speaker 2: is going to be really competitive. There's some trade rumors
Speaker 2: out there of them wanting to be hyper aggressive, like
Speaker 2: you just can't go nuts with Misowski, but you might
Speaker 2: be they might do this a couple of times, you know,
Speaker 2: they might screw around. I don't know if this is
Speaker 2: a season long. I feel like something might help us
Speaker 2: understand it a little bit. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it'll
Speaker 2: just be like I.
Speaker 3: Can at least let him go five to get a
Speaker 3: win man.
Speaker 2: But they might just be like I mean, I wish
Speaker 2: it would be forefront and say, hey, the next four
Speaker 2: star we're going to screw around so we can have
Speaker 2: them on the back end without the clarity. I don't know.
Speaker 2: So I just feel like we just need more sample
Speaker 2: size to this. So then that gets back to that
Speaker 2: whole conversation of like do you do anything about it?
Speaker 2: Do you want to do anything about it? Do you
Speaker 2: want to trade Mizerowski, And like we're talking about with
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt, it's a really really tough thing, which I
Speaker 2: gotta be honest with you, I hate and people talk
Speaker 2: have brought this up for years and years and years,
Speaker 2: and I've always hated this thought. But it is maybe
Speaker 2: something we need to, like slightly pay attention to a
Speaker 2: tiny bit more where people are like, you know, hey,
Speaker 2: are you going to start trading off these big players,
Speaker 2: Like you took these players because you think they're going
Speaker 2: to be amazing the whole season, But then there are
Speaker 2: these factors. Sometimes the young pitchers are kind of the
Speaker 2: easiest to project. You can't really necessarily project ones with
Speaker 2: guys like Bobby Wit except under a perfect scenario where
Speaker 2: their team blows and then they get hurt, and then
Speaker 2: why is the team? What is the advantage of the team,
Speaker 2: like really pressing a guy? So you know something that
Speaker 2: maybe we need to pay attention to a tiny bit more.
Speaker 2: At least we'll do it for this season. Where you're
Speaker 2: looking at guys, maybe Bobby's and be fine, he's been
Speaker 2: underperforming a little bit lately, But if you could still
Speaker 2: get top value because of the best stiff back thing,
Speaker 2: maybe you want to move off and in say with Misroowski,
Speaker 2: if we are really getting signals that you know they
Speaker 2: are going to kind of baby this to the rest
Speaker 2: of the year. This is just not helpful, especially for
Speaker 2: head to head. Maybe it's a little bit less for
Speaker 2: Rodo if you want to argue that, But you know,
Speaker 2: is it the worst thing in the world to pair
Speaker 2: back down? I think the I think the tough part
Speaker 2: Bogs is like trading this absolutely awesome guy and then
Speaker 2: presumably if you're trading down for two players they're lesser of,
Speaker 2: you just can't screw it up, Like do you really
Speaker 2: want to trade like an elite, amazing player and then
Speaker 2: take two guys who one of those sucks? And then
Speaker 2: it's like, well, what the hell, dude, what did I do?
Speaker 2: You know, like you want you want to make sure
Speaker 2: you're really hitting on those players, and well ore Is
Speaker 2: Robleski and Miguel Vargas that like, doesn't that seem a
Speaker 2: little bit it's assuming Maybe maybe that's the same type
Speaker 2: of trade for Misrowski.
Speaker 3: Might just need to be a hail Mary move though,
Speaker 3: right if you're flirting with a playoffs spot or out
Speaker 3: right now, you might just say, hey, look, winging a prayer.
Speaker 3: If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. But it ain't
Speaker 3: working right now, you know what I mean. So I
Speaker 3: think in that scenario specifically, I'm more willing to just
Speaker 3: bite the bullet and try something, you know. But if
Speaker 3: my team is really good and one of my main
Speaker 3: cogs gets hurt, then I'll hold out a little bit more,
Speaker 3: hoping that they come back and for the playoffs or
Speaker 3: for the stretch run in roto that I get that
Speaker 3: guy back and he starts producing for me again. So
Speaker 3: it really does kind of depend on where you are.
Speaker 3: But you're right, it is it's really hard to trade
Speaker 3: a super high investment player at any point in the year,
Speaker 3: specifically down the stretch when it could kill you making
Speaker 3: this move. But no risk and no biscuit, right, you
Speaker 3: got to make a move if you need to make
Speaker 3: that move.
Speaker 2: And that's why, like I think me I say Robleski
Speaker 2: because to me, there's this like floor to him with
Speaker 2: the team context. Maybe we should be more scared if
Speaker 2: they make trades and he gets moved off of a
Speaker 2: rotation spot, we should be a little bit more scared.
Speaker 2: But I just want to focus on like a little
Speaker 2: bit floor or if I'm gonna make trades like that.
Speaker 2: But it's got to have big upside and for you, even.
Speaker 3: If the strikeouts go down, he'll get dubs. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The one thing I am missing, by the way, though,
Speaker 2: when I say Miguel Vargus Robleski for either one of
Speaker 2: those guys, what you really should do is you should
Speaker 2: try to get an elite player back and another piece,
Speaker 2: like you should press when you specifically that type of name,
Speaker 2: when you're focusing on those are the best of the best,
Speaker 2: like you should get a huge haul. I'm really now
Speaker 2: more than I'm talking about this out loud. I feel
Speaker 2: like we are under selling the name type because, like
Speaker 2: I would like you to send me a tweet. I
Speaker 2: want your tweet to be like, hey, I'm actually here's
Speaker 2: this trade offer I'm getting and it's you know it
Speaker 2: is it's C. J. Abrams and Robleski to get Bobby
Speaker 2: wit Junior. What do you think? And then I'm like,
Speaker 2: let's go.
Speaker 3: That's what I think. Person trading C. J. Abrams in
Speaker 3: that scenario would be.
Speaker 2: Insane or you know what, honestly, Misroowski would make more
Speaker 2: sense in a trade like that. You trade this high
Speaker 2: end shortstop and a pseudo picture to get an elite picture.
Speaker 2: You're right, why would you trade Abrams to get Bobby Witt.
Speaker 2: My pro more is that I'd love to see you
Speaker 2: guys being a lot more aggressive in one of the
Speaker 2: pieces that you're getting back, and that's like a little
Speaker 2: bit of protection.
Speaker 3: Well, I thing like, even if you're trading you know,
Speaker 3: would it be crazy to trade Michael Harris and something
Speaker 3: for Bobby went right now with the way Michael Harris
Speaker 3: has been playing, Like Okay, yeah, I mean that that
Speaker 3: might be crazy too, so because it's just the main
Speaker 3: thing about Bobby Witt is since we have no timeframe
Speaker 3: right now, that's the super annoying point. So yeah, at
Speaker 3: least Miz is still giving you something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's doing it. Just we're going to know more.
Speaker 2: I think this weekend. It's really like this week will
Speaker 2: be really critical because like, well, have had now two
Speaker 2: starts and whatever this management looks like, and we can
Speaker 2: kind of move from there. Ronald Acunya supposed to be
Speaker 2: back this weekend. There is a video out there in
Speaker 2: his triple A rehab that he was kind of limping
Speaker 2: back to the dugout. I haven't really seen much about
Speaker 2: it then, outside of like an account or two tweeting
Speaker 2: about it, but the rumor is that he would be
Speaker 2: back this weekend, so that could be a big, big
Speaker 2: plus for my team that we I my version of
Speaker 2: Ramirez was ron Dkunya I took in our redraft.
Speaker 3: This is kind of the opposite of Miserowski because the
Speaker 3: report on Thursday was he'll probably be back Friday today
Speaker 3: as we're recording this, and then now it's like probably
Speaker 3: back this weekend. So how how how far can we stretch?
Speaker 3: This probably is a question at this point, and.
Speaker 2: I'm looking here, Yeah, I don't see. I was just
Speaker 2: seeing if the Braves maybe we're gonna do someth last minute.
Speaker 2: He's not in the lineup today, so it would be
Speaker 2: this weekend, so that'll be good. That'll be hopeful. But
Speaker 2: hopefully the whatever twinge or whatever happened is in something
Speaker 2: that's a big deal. Otani threw a thirty one pitch
Speaker 2: BP on Wednesday, so that's kind of good. They're just
Speaker 2: slow rolling that stuff. Maybe it's not gonna be as
Speaker 2: dramatic because we thought, I thought they should be really
Speaker 2: really careful about this. I kind of think it's gonna
Speaker 2: be August when we see his first you know game.
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna probably want like another bullpen, maybe
Speaker 2: even a live session before they put him out there.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, anything can happen with this
Speaker 2: team and the trademark. The trademark, it could be the
Speaker 2: one also that lets them push o'tani back from having
Speaker 2: to throw early on with how right they might end
Speaker 2: up being some other notes that are floating out there.
Speaker 2: Max Meyer is not gonna throw for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Actually look pretty doom and gloom off of his injury.
Speaker 2: But he's not gonna throw for two weeks and then
Speaker 2: he'll have to kind of ramp up. That does feel
Speaker 2: like maybe you can get him back for Fantasy playoffs
Speaker 2: at the end of August. Maybe I'm being a little
Speaker 2: bit dramatic, but to me that feels like no less
Speaker 2: than mid August that he could come back.
Speaker 3: Closer to that, I agree, yeah, probably late August.
Speaker 2: Jack Hagleon left Tuesday with some shoulder soreness, so that
Speaker 2: it continued royal stuff doesn't look good. Dennis Santana was
Speaker 2: designated for assignment after he tried to get in a
Speaker 2: fight too. I don't know if that had anything to
Speaker 2: do with it, but Dennis Santana designated when what the
Speaker 2: hell did they do? And I'm forgetting what it was.
Speaker 2: They brought somebody up onto the forty man and then
Speaker 2: they're just like peace out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's just been miserable, so.
Speaker 2: A Robert Hassle. I don't remember what it was. I'm
Speaker 2: completely forgetting what it was. But it doesn't matter. Denist
Speaker 2: Tanna's gone, so Gregory Soto better stranglehold across the board,
Speaker 2: not that it already wasn't there. Nate Pearson was traded.
Speaker 2: I actually think he was traded to the Royals, wasn't he?
Speaker 2: He wasn't traded to that, right, I think so? I
Speaker 2: think he was. Let me look, because I think it
Speaker 2: was opposite. I think he was on the Astros. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm right. So he got traded to the Royals for whatever.
Speaker 2: JABRONI the Max Martin. So Max Martin goes to the Astros,
Speaker 2: Nate Pearson goes to the Royals for god, I honestly like, why,
Speaker 2: you know, as we mentioned the ten and a half
Speaker 2: games back, so why did you do that? Samuel Bisio
Speaker 2: to the Io with the right shoulder inflammation. That's not good.
Speaker 2: Some rumors about Adli going out there. J T Gin
Speaker 2: was placed on the il not good Flarty on the
Speaker 2: io with a flexer inflammation and Kyle Teel expected to
Speaker 2: miss six to twelve weeks. They're calling you an ankle injury.
Speaker 2: Looked like there's some achilles stuff. I saw a report
Speaker 2: that he said that he actually got a more aggressive
Speaker 2: timetable that he could be back maybe in eight weeks.
Speaker 2: So I think what that means though, is if that's true,
Speaker 2: he could be back for a playoff run if they
Speaker 2: need him. But the White Sox apparently are aggressively quote
Speaker 2: looking for a catcher in the trade market. So very interesting,
Speaker 2: which is weird because by the way they have, like
Speaker 2: Edgar Carroll, like they've they've built around catchers. I don't
Speaker 2: why do you want to go spend up for a
Speaker 2: rental when I think you should be going to spend
Speaker 2: for other things. Maybe if it's Shay Langeliers or Hunter Goodman, maybe,
Speaker 2: but they are actively looking to get a catcher apparently.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The the Dennis Santanamo was Ron Maarnaccio coming back up,
Speaker 3: That's what it was. So yeah, that that was him
Speaker 3: being activated or whatever, and they sent out Dennis Santana.
Speaker 3: The Kyle are we do we need to call Kyle
Speaker 3: Teal injury prone. At this point, it's still early in
Speaker 3: his career, but we're close. It's a lot of time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're not there yet, but it's the very short career.
Speaker 3: There's been plenty of them, so I'm a little more
Speaker 3: than that. But that's why I was like, you know,
Speaker 3: I see it, but I'm you know, wearing dark colored
Speaker 3: glasses on that. So I need a Catcher's a catcher though,
Speaker 3: Like who cares about catchers?
Speaker 2: But there seems to be some care about catchers because
Speaker 2: that has almost dominated the trade market. So let's take
Speaker 2: a break. When we come back, we'll talk about some
Speaker 2: of the names that have been floated out there. Then
Speaker 2: this article that has likely trade uh, positional players that
Speaker 2: could get traded out, and pitchers by the way, and
Speaker 2: then prospects. We'll do a deep dive into that and
Speaker 2: we'll do it right for this.
Speaker 1: Hey in this league, look at us who would have
Speaker 1: thought not made?
Speaker 2: Not who would have thought not made? To some of
Speaker 2: the news around trades by the way. Before we look
Speaker 2: at this article, the big piece is Ken Rosenthal said
Speaker 2: that the Mariners are open to trading Emerson Hancock. I
Speaker 2: think that's interesting simply because Kate Anderson. That's a that's
Speaker 2: a very Kate Anderson tweet, if you will, that I
Speaker 2: would be picking him up right now in assumption that
Speaker 2: maybe they trade Hancock, maybe they trade Luis Castilla. Looks
Speaker 2: like they're going to do something in that market. I
Speaker 2: will hold to this, though. I still think there's a
Speaker 2: connection here, passing reports of the Padres are listening on
Speaker 2: Mason Miller. I have seen four different posts that they're
Speaker 2: definitely trading Miller, they're looking at trading Miller, They're not
Speaker 2: listening on Miller. Blah blah blah. The one that kind
Speaker 2: of sits at home is like Preller needs a win.
Speaker 2: Preller and them are still trying to compete, and one
Speaker 2: of the biggest things they want back is major league pitching.
Speaker 2: And Hancock is a fit, and you cannot trade Mason
Speaker 2: Miller for Emerson Hancock. But I'll come back to my thing,
Speaker 2: and but what Kate Anderson's not getting traded zero point n't.
Speaker 2: I don't think so either, but I won't even talk
Speaker 2: about it. But Ryan Sloan could get traded. And that's
Speaker 2: the one where I'm like Hancock and Ryan soon for
Speaker 2: Mason Miller. I actually think that kind of makes sense
Speaker 2: on both ends. I think the Mariners and Padres are
Speaker 2: a match, and I think if the Padres trade Mason Miller,
Speaker 2: the Padres, the Mariners are one that can be aggressive
Speaker 2: in what they're looking for with the Padres are looking for. Obviously,
Speaker 2: teams like the Dodgers and Yankees could do some stuff,
Speaker 2: but I think those guys might be matches. The Brewers,
Speaker 2: quote are prepared to be more aggressive at the trade deadline.
Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna save this one on the Angels
Speaker 2: here for a second, or well, let me stop at
Speaker 2: the Brewers real quick aggressive at the trade deadline. To me,
Speaker 2: that's Terrek Scoogle or yeah that was yeah, yeah, the
Speaker 2: same way. Yeah yeah yeah, And then.
Speaker 3: We think it happens. But I didn't have to trade
Speaker 3: to get Trek's scouble.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is. They could do it if they want to,
Speaker 2: They've got I think, well, the only thing that they
Speaker 2: little bit struggle with where they don't match up is
Speaker 2: if the Tigers, I mean Scooble today again was like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to get traded. Tigers have said they're
Speaker 2: not going to do it. I do feel like the Tigers.
Speaker 2: The thing that they would want was controllable pitching, and
Speaker 2: the Brewers can really only do that in the name
Speaker 2: of Logan Henderson. Outside of that, I just don't think
Speaker 2: they have like major league ready guys that like because
Speaker 2: they're not going to probably trade Kyle Harrison. Oh maybe
Speaker 2: they will. I just don't know if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: But they got all the other pieces that are out there.
Speaker 2: But that is why other teams might make more sense.
Speaker 2: You know, the Dodgers can trade a litany. I was
Speaker 2: actually I went over to the Dodgers yesterday. I had
Speaker 2: a little bit of time, went to the Dodgers camp.
Speaker 2: I saw Bobby Miller. Bobby Miller's still alive. He was
Speaker 2: throwing and I talked to him after he threw a
Speaker 2: side session. It's hot, he said, you know, like he's progressing.
Speaker 2: His fastball looked good. It was actually kind of funny
Speaker 2: because we're talking about how like pitching in this weather
Speaker 2: during the mid days and stuff screws up with timing,
Speaker 2: but that's a really good thing. And he says he's
Speaker 2: really close and he wants to get out of here
Speaker 2: to be a trade chip. Dodgers have the trade chip pieces.
Speaker 2: I think that's the land that the Brewers need to
Speaker 2: live in. Maybe they try to go get a bat.
Speaker 2: I think they've got a pretty good bullpen. It's starting
Speaker 2: pitching they need starting pitching.
Speaker 3: Zerowski is going to only be able to throw four
Speaker 3: to five innings for the rest of the year, then yes,
Speaker 3: they have to go.
Speaker 2: Get a starter for I think they're doing that so
Speaker 2: he can throw more down the line there. That's the
Speaker 2: only reason they're doing It's not the whole year. It's
Speaker 2: like September. I think you start to unload Jacob Mizerowski,
Speaker 2: but they're babing him right now. But to your point,
Speaker 2: you have to have protection. You gotta continue winning games,
Speaker 2: Like I mean, we're recording this while the Rockies are
Speaker 2: beating the Brewers because Johan gave up four and runs.
Speaker 2: The Rockies are beating them, Like you can't. You just
Speaker 2: can't have those things. So, like you know, they've got
Speaker 2: to find the matches and they're gonna be aggressive, so
Speaker 2: they think that's good. And then the Angels. The Angels
Speaker 2: are the one that make me laugh here because the
Speaker 2: Angels are like they're like, you know, oh, I guess
Speaker 2: the Red Sox make me laugh because they want to
Speaker 2: buy everybody but the Angels are putting all these players
Speaker 2: out there, like apparently Neto, everybody but my Trout's available,
Speaker 2: which is like so hysterically stupid. But the Angels are
Speaker 2: listening on Nedo. And that comes back to what I
Speaker 2: really meant, was the Red Sox make me fricking laugh,
Speaker 2: because the Red Sox are literally tied to everybody. Every
Speaker 2: report is the Red Sox are in love with the
Speaker 2: thought of Netto, in love with the thought of c J. Abrams,
Speaker 2: enamored with the thought of shee Leangaliers, and it's like, Okay, dudes,
Speaker 2: you can't have them all. You're not going to get
Speaker 2: them all. What are you going to trade? At this point,
Speaker 2: they definitely have pieces, but I don't know if they're
Speaker 2: willing to unload the clip with the bad trades that
Speaker 2: they've made. So I think it's cool that they're enamored
Speaker 2: and they should take they should take advantage of the
Speaker 2: situation that they're in. But I just don't know if
Speaker 2: they've got the kahonas to make the big ass trades
Speaker 2: to move off. Move Franklinarius who just went up to
Speaker 2: triple A, or you know, move justin Gonzalez or I'm
Speaker 2: not going to say they're not gonna do it with
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony, but moving into these other pieces or the
Speaker 2: Saddana Rafaela or get bo off this team or totally
Speaker 2: or early totally and earlier are probably the biggest pieces
Speaker 2: they have. Did they have the balls to go and
Speaker 2: make those moves because that's what it's gonna take. Some
Speaker 2: of those pieces are what it's going to take to
Speaker 2: get a netto and Abram so I. The Red Sox
Speaker 2: thing to me seems kind of like maybe the most laughable,
Speaker 2: but I'm here for them to be aggressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I get it right, Like you just spent
Speaker 3: uh this, you know, fifteen game winning streak, all that stuff,
Speaker 3: you know, so you want to go make your moves now,
Speaker 3: I get that, But you know it took you a
Speaker 3: fifteen game winning streak to have the last wildcard spot.
Speaker 3: There are two games up on the Mariners Twins, three
Speaker 3: games up on the Orioles, three and a half up
Speaker 3: on the Astros. So like you're you're right, there is
Speaker 3: after a fifteen game win streak. I mean, it is
Speaker 3: the time to go push the chips in, but it's
Speaker 3: a time to do Is this the team that do
Speaker 3: we really think this team can win, right yeah? Now?
Speaker 3: And that's like, that's the situation I'm alluding to. Like
Speaker 3: every single team thinks they can win if they're within
Speaker 3: five games of a Wildcards.
Speaker 2: But then who is the team that's going to really
Speaker 2: push their chips in? That's the point. And it's like
Speaker 2: the brewis are gonna be aggressive? Okay, Aggressiveness is going
Speaker 2: to mean making moves that people are gonna not like.
Speaker 2: And that's what that looks like. And I don't know,
Speaker 2: we had a report two months ago that was like,
Speaker 2: you know, the Dodgers and Yankees don't feel they really
Speaker 2: need to pay up for Schoopbaul and like every team
Speaker 2: thinks they've got this advantage and it's like, no, dude,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to push your chips in. And it's
Speaker 2: kind of you know, we're we're talking about this. This
Speaker 2: is a football podcast that it was Sealy, but it
Speaker 2: applies to so many things. And I do it with
Speaker 2: fantasy baseball all the time, where like if I draft
Speaker 2: a guy that's like high end stolen bases, I don't
Speaker 2: like to then be like I'm good, guys, I got
Speaker 2: my stolen bases. I like to build off of that
Speaker 2: same thing in football. If I go and draft a
Speaker 2: if it's a superflex, and I draft a good quarterback
Speaker 2: at the top, I don't want to then wait, twenty quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: You don't want to have four?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to have one and eight and I
Speaker 2: want to have the huge advantage. So my point stands
Speaker 2: in the trade market, I wish more teams kind of
Speaker 2: have that in their brain, because it's like, don't just
Speaker 2: make like one trade. Don't go like make a trade
Speaker 2: where you have to give up a couple of pieces
Speaker 2: and then you go make a solid move and then
Speaker 2: you're just done. And it's a team like the Red
Speaker 2: Sox they need to make like three trades. I think
Speaker 2: the Brewers need to make like two trades.
Speaker 3: And it's like, well, you says, yea, empty the clip, babe,
Speaker 3: Empty the clip. Yeah.
Speaker 2: From a real baseball perspective, empty the clip. And it'll
Speaker 2: also create some fantasy opportunities, which this is what we
Speaker 2: can talk about here. So this was the ESPN most
Speaker 2: likely players to get traded. You put together, and I'll
Speaker 2: let you kind of present this because I know you
Speaker 2: wanted to ask me. It went from a positional standpoint,
Speaker 2: just by the blanket I here, I would say shortstop
Speaker 2: and catcher are probably the which, by the way, from
Speaker 2: a real baseball perspective, maybe the two most important positions
Speaker 2: throw in center field. But those have the most robust
Speaker 2: amount of positional players available, and the starting pitching market
Speaker 2: is pretty dang good as well. But why don't you
Speaker 2: talked about the names that you put together here on
Speaker 2: the ESPN? Most likely?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I put it in the in the chat
Speaker 3: here so you can look at it and you can
Speaker 3: also talk if it's behind a paywall, so because was
Speaker 3: just already linked. So, but the catchers here are Sae Lengeliers,
Speaker 3: Hunter Goodman, Adlei Rutchman, Ryan Jeffers, Victor Carrattini. Uh. They
Speaker 3: also put percentages on these guys to move, and some
Speaker 3: of them weren't very high. I think the highest of
Speaker 3: this batch is probably Hunter Goodman. I think they had
Speaker 3: it about thirty five percent. Also, they didn't have many
Speaker 3: guys over fifty percent. Right that the guys over fifty
Speaker 3: percent were like Luisa Rise was by far the highest.
Speaker 3: It was like the Giants and Rockies guys. It wasn't many.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's getting traded for sure.
Speaker 3: With over fifty percent. So Hunter Goodman is the big
Speaker 3: one here. Do we think Hunter Goodman moves And is
Speaker 3: there anybody worth picking up in Colorado at Catcher? I
Speaker 3: doubt it?
Speaker 2: But so wait, okay, so we're focusing on Catchers, but
Speaker 2: we're focusing on Goodman.
Speaker 3: Then yeah, let's start with Goodman. Do you do we
Speaker 3: think Goodman gets moved where? Where? Maybe? Could that happen?
Speaker 3: And is there an anybody to replace him in this
Speaker 3: Rockies lineup?
Speaker 2: Do you think? I think it's been pretty loud that
Speaker 2: the Red Sox and the Yankees really love Goodman. I
Speaker 2: will tell you if Goodman goes to New York, that
Speaker 2: Dan Box like, I love the opportunity of him hitting there.
Speaker 2: And we've talked about like how he's struggled at home
Speaker 2: versus the road, which is like a super weird Colorado thing.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you I kind of think he won't
Speaker 2: get traded because I think take it back to the
Speaker 2: pussy footing around. I just don't think teams. Teams think
Speaker 2: they just have all this leverage and there's like a
Speaker 2: labor agreement and they're weird about it. Like I think
Speaker 2: controllable guys should even come with more of a cost
Speaker 2: right now with the labor agreement coming out, So why
Speaker 2: would the Rockies What does it serve them to go
Speaker 2: and just get a couple like okay pieces like they
Speaker 2: should be if the Yankees are calling, it should be like,
Speaker 2: all right, well, if you would like Hunter Goodman we
Speaker 2: are going to want Jason Demingez back. We are going
Speaker 2: to want you know, maybe Henry Lulaney at the bottom,
Speaker 2: and then another. Really they might want like two really
Speaker 2: good pieces, so we want Domingos want I'm trying to
Speaker 2: think of the picture. I want to say, like maybe
Speaker 2: Carlos Lagrant the Grandier like him and and and the
Speaker 2: Lillany and those are like there's some hot prospects in there,
Speaker 2: and that's the type of thing. And I just don't
Speaker 2: think they think he's will do that.
Speaker 3: So I would hate that for Goldie, you know if I.
Speaker 2: Don't think it would be great. But I think from
Speaker 2: a fantasy perspective, it would be really good for Hunter Goodman.
Speaker 2: It would be no negative whatsoever to his fantasy value
Speaker 2: of anything. There's even just like more.
Speaker 3: Better on the Road.
Speaker 2: We loved that before. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I don't
Speaker 2: think I would ding him for the Red Sox. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say, I actually don't think he's gonna get traded
Speaker 2: because the Rockies can't get players to come and play
Speaker 2: for them, you know what I mean. They can't get
Speaker 2: free agents anymore. They they've got to build up their guys,
Speaker 2: and he's there for through twenty thirty. That's why they
Speaker 2: need three or four good, controllable players to move off
Speaker 2: of Hunter Goodman. Probably a trade that would make everybody
Speaker 2: feel sick. That's the type of of haul it would take,
Speaker 2: and I just don't think any team is willing to
Speaker 2: do that. So I'm gonna say I don't think.
Speaker 3: So Langaliers, Rutchman, neither of those guys get moved. You think.
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty low percentage.
Speaker 2: I don't think Leangaliers gets traded. That's such a weird
Speaker 2: one to me.
Speaker 3: I think he was at ten percent. But he's having
Speaker 3: such a good year it'd be a good time to
Speaker 3: trade him if you are the A's.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say yes on Ritchman, though I actually kind
Speaker 2: of think retchimand does.
Speaker 3: But Style just got hurt.
Speaker 2: I know he got hurt, but like there's just a
Speaker 2: part of me that like he's been floating around and
Speaker 2: then beside. It was kind of like the the makeup,
Speaker 2: you know, for the future position, and maybe they're just
Speaker 2: trying to get some for it. I mean, they're nine
Speaker 2: and a half back in the division. They're I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess they're third behind for a wal the wildcatsch spot.
Speaker 2: They're three games back, but they lose like two more
Speaker 2: and they go to five back. I think it makes
Speaker 2: sense maybe if you want to cook stuff like this,
Speaker 2: one of Leangliers, Goodmen or Rutchman gets traded. I think
Speaker 2: unless you go to New York. I kind of might
Speaker 2: think like Langaliers takes a little bit of a dip.
Speaker 2: Like Langaliers, a Goodman just happened to hit in really
Speaker 2: good environments. So it's like from a fantasy perspective, like
Speaker 2: maybe there's more running RBI. I don't know. If I
Speaker 2: love it, then cond me down. I'm gonna say one
Speaker 2: of those three catchers are gonna get traded. I'm indifferent
Speaker 2: about Jeffery. I don't think Jeffers does quarantine. I think
Speaker 2: is kind of a nothing Burt. I mean, who cares.
Speaker 2: I think catchers are just really like really controllable. Catchers
Speaker 2: are really tough to try.
Speaker 3: He's not very controllable. He is a UFA after twenty
Speaker 3: twenty eight.
Speaker 2: That's why I think he's most likely. But did you
Speaker 2: see Boden's trade? Did I talk about this at all?
Speaker 2: But Jim Boden put out what he thought the Hunter
Speaker 2: Goodman trade would be. And I watched this video he
Speaker 2: did where he was talking about when he was a
Speaker 2: general manager, and then like they it was I think
Speaker 2: it was like Tony Paine or something, and they were
Speaker 2: shocked that they gave him up, and blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: His trade was like Conley early, I think Marcelo mayor
Speaker 2: Kyson Witherspoon and then like another really good guy, and
Speaker 2: it was like, holy crap. But he's probably not wrong.
Speaker 2: It probably has to be a trade like that that
Speaker 2: makes us sick if Goodman gets traded, because he's got
Speaker 2: so much, so much control, as does Langaliers.
Speaker 3: Uh first base, we have Wilson, Catrez, Isaac Paradus, esak
Speaker 3: paratus excuse me, Christian Walker, Josh Bell, and Nate Lowe
Speaker 3: as the most likely.
Speaker 2: To do so this is like what you want me
Speaker 2: to say. Wilson absolutely not. Now he was I think
Speaker 2: he was all but gone. He is zero percent now
Speaker 2: because the Red Sox are winning, Why would you trade him?
Speaker 2: He's been one of your better players. So that's a no.
Speaker 3: What about Walker? Christian Walker? The Astros are kind of
Speaker 3: they're hovering here. Uh, they are there within striking distance
Speaker 3: of a wildcard spot or the division really because the
Speaker 3: division's bad and a half.
Speaker 2: They're only two back on the division.
Speaker 3: In three and a half. They're further out of a
Speaker 3: wildcard than they are from the division race.
Speaker 2: Oh that's weird. Yeah, that's weird. They're three and a
Speaker 2: half on the wildcard and two in the division.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just because everyone. I think the the Rangers are
Speaker 3: at five hundred and they're the best record in the ALS.
Speaker 3: The ALS is terrible this year, so I mean even
Speaker 3: the A's have a good the A's going to Red
Speaker 3: Sox run. They're right in this division, so I don't think.
Speaker 2: I think one of them does get traded because they're
Speaker 2: they're starting to dink around a couple. They're not doing
Speaker 2: anything big, but it's like see you to Pierson. They
Speaker 2: traded Colton, Gordon and McCullers. I think one of Paratus
Speaker 2: or Walker goes and I think maybe I'm leaning Christian Walker.
Speaker 3: So where would they go do you think?
Speaker 2: I mean Diamondbacks. I think Christian Walker can return to
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks are they've been on a little streak
Speaker 2: right now, they have a wild I didn't really they
Speaker 2: have the wild card spot, the third wild card spot.
Speaker 2: They're in desperate need of first base, like they are
Speaker 2: going to be calling. I think Josh Bell is also
Speaker 2: traded because he says nothing piece, Nate Lowe probably nothing piece.
Speaker 2: But I think Walker would make the most sense because
Speaker 2: he dominated here. He's a really great defender, and I
Speaker 2: think they would feel like he would be back at
Speaker 2: home and can revive, and that would I think that's
Speaker 2: like actual.
Speaker 3: What about what about him being traded to the Nationals? Right?
Speaker 3: You can put him at first you could DH Luis
Speaker 3: Garcia and because you know Chrishial Walker still plays go
Speaker 3: globe defense. So I think that'd be a great move
Speaker 3: for the Nationals because right now they have Josey Tania
Speaker 3: and Shaparro pl tuning at d H. Right, so put uh.
Speaker 2: Though, but yeah, that's a fair pace because there are
Speaker 2: two games off of the wild card that I could
Speaker 2: see that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So I mean that if it's not the Diamondbacks, obviously.
Speaker 3: I think the Diamonbacks are perfect fit with blah blah
Speaker 3: blah all that.
Speaker 2: If he went back to Arizona, though, like I'd immediately
Speaker 2: be I'd be a big stupid dummy and be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: he just he kills when he's out here, Like why
Speaker 2: would you? Why would you not be back in on him?
Speaker 3: Right, he's been pretty bad since the break.
Speaker 2: No, I know, he was amazing to start and then
Speaker 2: he's fallen off.
Speaker 3: He goes through these streaks, but he's got that bad
Speaker 3: slump shoulders that he does when he walks, like he
Speaker 3: walks back to after he strikes out, when he's in
Speaker 3: a bad funk, he walks back to the dugout like
Speaker 3: a kid in Little League, Like his shoulders slumped and
Speaker 3: he drags his bat. I feel like he's, you know,
Speaker 3: like like Michael Sarah and arrested development. He looks like
Speaker 3: that gift.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's the wordest strikeout rates and stuff like.
Speaker 2: I just I think this would be something where the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks would be like, yeah, he's barreling less. His heart
Speaker 2: hits down a little bit, but he's striking out less.
Speaker 2: He's still getting the ball in the air, he's still
Speaker 2: trying to pull. It's actually the highest pulled percentage pulled
Speaker 2: air percentage of his career. And that's going to just
Speaker 2: play in Arizona. And let me look, if I it
Speaker 2: would have it would always be a fun thing if
Speaker 2: they put together, Like what would the batting average be
Speaker 2: if he was just in Arizona we had the expected homers.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they.
Speaker 2: Expected homers are like about in line. Like I just
Speaker 2: think I think that one makes a ton of sense.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ship him there. I don't know if they
Speaker 2: trade both of those guys, but I think Walker gets traded.
Speaker 3: I think Bell gets traded for two or fourteen since
Speaker 3: the break.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know one.
Speaker 3: Of those bad spots. How about second base here, we've
Speaker 3: got Luisa riz who we know is going not a
Speaker 3: lot of action here though, Labor Torres, Willie Castro, So
Speaker 3: what are we thinking at second base?
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I don't I think Cashow is
Speaker 2: a utility player. I don't think Labor gets traded because
Speaker 2: they're trying to win a rise as one hundred percent
Speaker 2: getting traded.
Speaker 3: Also, not a lot of third man's estoc Paradis mattch Chapman,
Speaker 3: Mark Bientos like, uh, you know, because paraders could play anywhere.
Speaker 2: Really, I already said, I don't think that any of
Speaker 2: these guys are options because I don't think Pradis gets
Speaker 2: necessarily traded. You can't trade Chapman because of his contract.
Speaker 2: Mets Vento's like, maybe if they want to package him,
Speaker 2: they want to package like with a veteran or something
Speaker 2: like that. I think of all those second and third
Speaker 2: it's like Luisa Rise, I just haven't had I haven't
Speaker 2: figured out who the team is. I don't know what
Speaker 2: makes Maybe Cleveland, you know, a guy that gets a
Speaker 2: bunch of hits. I mean, you need some boppers. They
Speaker 2: just have a lot of contact guys. Cleveland is one
Speaker 2: that I jump out at. I don't see anybody in
Speaker 2: that I again, I just don't know. Maybe the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 2: stupid Diamondbacks were at one time there was a little
Speaker 2: communication about Luisa Rise and you know, they could put
Speaker 2: him as a at the top of the lineup. He
Speaker 2: could play first bait, but he said he wants to
Speaker 2: play second base. That's the problem. I forgot about that.
Speaker 2: He said, that's the other caveat. You gotta remember Luisa
Speaker 2: Ri says wherever he's traded, he wants to play second base,
Speaker 2: so that eliminates the Diamondbacks from contention there. So I'm
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure Nationals.
Speaker 3: Maybe shortstop has a lot of good names. Zach Neto,
Speaker 3: Jeremy Penia, cj Abrams, Francisco Lindor Willia Domas are on
Speaker 3: this list, But I don't know if any of these
Speaker 3: guys can move. It would not be shocking if none
Speaker 3: of them. I mean, Willie Domas cares.
Speaker 2: But his contracts too much. Contracts is too much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Abrams, Penia and Netto, like I don't think
Speaker 3: the Astros trading Pania is either isn't he under contract
Speaker 3: till like twenty thirty and then remember what it is?
Speaker 2: But I just don't. I don't think that makes sense
Speaker 2: because they're in that. You don't trade guys like Penia
Speaker 2: when you're in like Pseudo, play for it, rebuild.
Speaker 3: It's it's Netto and Abrams and he's the UFA in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight Penia.
Speaker 2: So that is one of them gets traded. I think one.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that's one of the big blockbusters. I
Speaker 2: lean to more Netta, But I think Abrams is just
Speaker 2: tough to trade because like it's like the Goodman thing,
Speaker 2: you got to trade everything. You got to be willing
Speaker 2: to unload the clip. For Abrams, I think it has
Speaker 2: to look similar to the trade that brought him over.
Speaker 2: And I just don't know what's the team that wants,
Speaker 2: Like what's the team that has I mean, it's like
Speaker 2: the Brewers, Like the Brewers have a system where it's
Speaker 2: like they could I don't think they would trade made,
Speaker 2: but it's like if they wanted to, you could trade
Speaker 2: Fisher and Painia and then Logan Henderson and I think
Speaker 2: that gets it done. But like do they want to
Speaker 2: do that? Is that what they want to do to
Speaker 2: the Red Sox? Like, I don't know how the Red
Speaker 2: Sox do it. I still think.
Speaker 3: Controllable till twenty thirty. He is eligible for arbitration in
Speaker 3: twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Netto it cast Okay, there's net Abrams cost probably Conley Early.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a controllable Christian Robinson and then Franklinarius. You know,
Speaker 2: like do they do I just don't know, but I
Speaker 2: think it's one of those two players gets traded Abrams.
Speaker 2: Abrams is a huge piece you almost hate taken out
Speaker 2: of the line. But I think one of those guys
Speaker 2: gets traded for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be Abrams. I think
Speaker 3: I think I'm with you. If somebody gets traded, it's
Speaker 3: netto there is so far out outfield is Buxton, Jung Hu,
Speaker 3: Lee says, Uzuki, Joe Adele and Lars Noubar.
Speaker 2: Well, Bucksin's already told it's not getting traded, So I
Speaker 2: don't know why they keep putting them in these articles.
Speaker 2: So he's just like he just says, I'm not going anywhere,
Speaker 2: like they keep doing this. It's actually just like idiocy
Speaker 2: because he said he's not going to wave his no
Speaker 2: trade cause, so why Lee, I don't think it's traded. Suzuki,
Speaker 2: I think is a possibility. I'm just not namored with
Speaker 2: any of these guys because I guess I'm also looking say,
Speaker 2: as Zuki is the biggest name, maybe if you got
Speaker 2: him in like a hit or friendly environment, you know,
Speaker 2: like if somehow he got traded to like the Yankees
Speaker 2: or something, that would be exciting. But I actually don't
Speaker 2: really buy any of these guys getting traded, And I
Speaker 2: don't know if anybody gets hurt if they are traded
Speaker 2: out of a destination either.
Speaker 3: So uh sorry. Pictures are Derek Scooble, Joe Ryan, Redept Meer's,
Speaker 3: Kesey Maiz and son Gray, so lots of premiere starting
Speaker 3: pitching could be on the move. Here.
Speaker 2: Where are the Twins at right now? I haven't looked.
Speaker 2: The Twins are two and a half games back. They've
Speaker 2: fallen a tiny bit there.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like four and a half
Speaker 3: back of the division though it's the White Sox and
Speaker 3: then the Guardians and then the Twins, so uh, and
Speaker 3: then Tigers are six games back, so that division is
Speaker 3: still open for business.
Speaker 2: I think Joe Ryan doesn't get traded. I think Sonny
Speaker 2: Gray is off this list now, casey myz, I don't
Speaker 2: really never bought. I think Debtmers gets traded. And I
Speaker 2: am gonna say I think s Google gets traded regardless
Speaker 2: of they're gonna trade him. They're not gonna trade him.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to get traded. To go for it.
Speaker 2: They lose two games over the weekend. I just think
Speaker 2: it is Tigers because you had the negative like, oh,
Speaker 2: we don't feel like we have to pay up for him.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah, and then the Tigers can publicly just
Speaker 2: continuously tell us they're just like, yeah, we're not trading them,
Speaker 2: we're not trading them, and it's like, what we weren't asking, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but we're not trading them. And then then it's gonna
Speaker 2: get someone to pay up, and that's what it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: And it's going to be a team like the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: who are going to try to unload I.
Speaker 3: Think, trying to get everything they can before the salary
Speaker 3: captain installed and they have to trade guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, but I think it would make a ton
Speaker 2: of sense for them to. This is why you would
Speaker 2: move and Emmitt Shehan. You could probably move Shean River
Speaker 2: Ryan and then another prospect and you can get two
Speaker 2: starting pitchers for the future. So I do think Schooble's
Speaker 2: going to get traded, and I think that's going to
Speaker 2: be a benefit from a fantasy perspective. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's going to create Jackson Job has been rehabbing.
Speaker 2: Maybe he comes up and it's a rotation spot Debts
Speaker 2: gets traded. I think that's a plus. I think the
Speaker 2: White Sox make a ton of sense and the benefit
Speaker 2: there is George Klassen, who I think I did in
Speaker 2: a video this week that he can get some playing time.
Speaker 2: So those are the two pictures I'm gonna say are traded.
Speaker 3: The relief pictures. I mean, I think we take Chapman
Speaker 3: off this list. Now Miller, Hater, Whitlock, Fairbanks Hell would
Speaker 3: wants he's been.
Speaker 2: Miserable, Fairbanks's garbage. Whitlock also has to why would they
Speaker 2: trade either one of these relief pitchers? Note Hater, I'm
Speaker 2: indifferent about. Miller is the one. And I think Probler's
Speaker 2: gonna do something nuts. It's just what he does. So
Speaker 2: I think Preller does something crazy and he does pull
Speaker 2: off some trade. Maybe it's heavy four prospects that are
Speaker 2: within a year. Maybe it's a prospect and a major
Speaker 2: league guy like I do think they do it because
Speaker 2: they are ripe with relief pitchers, guys that can close
Speaker 2: out games and stuff. So I think they're they're going
Speaker 2: to do that one. So the prospects to Dell, we
Speaker 2: could probably burn through this a little bit. I think
Speaker 2: this is interesting.
Speaker 3: What was this? Was this?
Speaker 2: The these are the prospects that that Kylie thinks would
Speaker 2: get traded.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he listed a bunch of like untouchables, like obviously
Speaker 3: Hazus Mayday was in there for the Brewers and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. But these are the like, these are the
Speaker 3: selling points. These are probably what the buyers offered for
Speaker 3: the buyers.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I got an interesting take on this, So
Speaker 2: like you can present present the team and then instead
Speaker 2: of even going through, I'm gonna tell you if I
Speaker 2: think they're if I agree, or if I add a
Speaker 2: different guy in here, because like I'm gonna jump in
Speaker 2: there and I'll let you do the rest is the
Speaker 2: interesting one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Dodgers, he's got Charles Davlin, James Tibbs, River,
Speaker 3: Ryan Jackson, Ferris in like Jose De Paula as untradeable
Speaker 3: really the only guy that's fine.
Speaker 2: I think all those guys are, for sure, But this
Speaker 2: is the like glud of riches where people get annoyed.
Speaker 2: If that's all that you have, even that right there,
Speaker 2: if they traded Tibbs, Ryan Davlin, and Ferris for s Google,
Speaker 2: I think Tiger fans would be annoyed. I personally think
Speaker 2: you've got to look at the big three, and the
Speaker 2: big three are Hope, Sarota and Depaula, and I personally
Speaker 2: think Depaula and Sarota are untouchable and that leaves someone
Speaker 2: like I think zay or Hope could get traded. I
Speaker 2: think that could be a big piece that goes out there.
Speaker 2: I also think, like I said, Shehn, so you know,
Speaker 2: could you have like a Shean and Zayre Hope with
Speaker 2: River Ryan that's a really big sellaway. Or could it
Speaker 2: be River Ryan, Shehan and James Tibbs. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: that's what it would look like. If it truly is
Speaker 2: River Ryan, Davlin and like something else, I think that
Speaker 2: would be a pretty big disappointment. I mean, River Ryan
Speaker 2: could be really good. He's really got good stuff. Plus
Speaker 2: but my caveat to this list is I think Zyre
Speaker 2: Hope is somebody that could be in that move because
Speaker 2: I think he's more expendable. They've got outfielders, you know,
Speaker 2: you've got tib I mean literally have Serota, Depaula, Tibbs
Speaker 2: and Hope are all outfielders and Davelin by the way,
Speaker 2: but those other four are close. While you have major leaguers,
Speaker 2: you can get rid of zyr Hope if you need to,
Speaker 2: especially if it pushes you over.
Speaker 3: Also, let us know which one of these guys if traded,
Speaker 3: would probably any of them get called up immediately.
Speaker 2: Tibbs would. If Tibbs went to Detroit, I think he
Speaker 2: would get some playing time, But I mean Davlin won't,
Speaker 2: Ferris won't. I don't even know where River Ryan's at
Speaker 2: with the injuries, so Ryan could Yeah, Ryan, those guys
Speaker 2: could both be interesting if Tibbs and Ryan did zire hope.
Speaker 2: Probably not because they haven't called up Max Clark. But
Speaker 2: that's why I think they would be interested in that.
Speaker 2: Imagine a future outfield that's got Max Clark and but
Speaker 2: I think they're more focused on pitching. That's why I
Speaker 2: think it's whatever team is willing to give them the
Speaker 2: best pitching group. And I think that's why the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Yankees, outside of obvious reasons, make like the most sense.
Speaker 3: For the Brewers, it's Jet Williams, Jeffersons, Acquero, Luke Adams,
Speaker 3: and Tyson Harden as the guy's likely to be traded here. Obviously,
Speaker 3: no made no.
Speaker 2: Painya, Yeah, I will say this is not aggressive.
Speaker 3: What about Pratt or Laura? Do you think they trade
Speaker 3: either of those guys now.
Speaker 2: Because they just signed him. I don't think so. I
Speaker 2: think this is the Doug group. Duh, they trade Jet
Speaker 2: Williams and Quero. Could they don't hold that's not aggressive.
Speaker 2: Aggressive is they've got to trade Adam Chevitz or Andrew
Speaker 2: Fisher or Luis Paine. I truly do think made is
Speaker 2: off the table. So I will up that by saying,
Speaker 2: and they've got a couple of young guys. They really
Speaker 2: love Alexander Frias as someone who's awesome. I think I'm
Speaker 2: gonna add Paine and I'm god, I kind of want
Speaker 2: to say Fisher. To be honest with you, that that
Speaker 2: one might be weird. I just think aggressive means they
Speaker 2: have to give up stuff that's gonna hurt, and Fisher
Speaker 2: has a high k rate. I could see Fisher. Logan Henderson,
Speaker 2: who I've mentioned, I think is obviously one of those guys,
Speaker 2: but like Braylan Payne, is now expendable. When they've re
Speaker 2: signed Laura and they've Madi might have to move to
Speaker 2: the outfield and stuff like that. The really big kicker.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility
Speaker 2: that Paya would get traded. I don't think it happens.
Speaker 2: I think that's in the world of like controllable stuff
Speaker 2: like if you were to go get a Mason Miller.
Speaker 2: That's where I think Payna could be the guy. There's
Speaker 2: no chance that Maddy does.
Speaker 3: The Braves have some pictures here Owen Murphy Jr. Ritchie Didier, fointees,
Speaker 3: Briggs McKenzie, and then shortstops John Gill and Alex Lotzi.
Speaker 2: What he say, Yeah, I think those are all probably
Speaker 2: the They don't have Hartman on there because he is
Speaker 2: like one of the biggest pop up prop up guys.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's much unintouched untouchable for the Braves.
Speaker 2: So Diddy or is a guy if he were to
Speaker 2: be traded, Obviously, Richie and Murphy they would all be
Speaker 2: players that could go into a rotation. See now there's
Speaker 2: a sneaky one right there. Just to throw this out here,
Speaker 2: if the Braves would offer Richie and Murphy to the Tigers,
Speaker 2: they might jump on that because that's two big time
Speaker 2: in future starting pitchers and they've still got some young
Speaker 2: guys in like Briggs McKenzie. So okay, I'll agree with
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 3: The Yankees, I'm sorry the Rays. Here two catchers, Nathan
Speaker 3: Flew Fluilling, Cayden boding shortstops Cooper Fleming, Daniel Peers, first baseman,
Speaker 3: Taton Gray, another pitcher in fourhead and Brito.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably Nathan Floelling won the Futures
Speaker 2: game MVP. Cooper Fleming is pretty good. But they just
Speaker 2: brought in what's his uh, what's his face? Grady Emerson,
Speaker 2: So I think that creates more flexibility. I just don't know.
Speaker 2: The Tigers don't do like super aggressive. Last aggressive thing
Speaker 2: they did, I felt like, what, maybe I'm wrong about this,
Speaker 2: But was the David Price trade? You know where they
Speaker 2: traded Willie Adomas away? What about Scott Kashmir? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know. So I think I don't think any of
Speaker 2: those guys are untouchable. I don't think there's any fans.
Speaker 2: Maybe Michael Forrett could get, but there's no real fantasy
Speaker 2: value for this season. But I'll buy that. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to let me look at my Tampa Bay rankings. Is
Speaker 2: there someone I'm forgetting that I want to mention that's
Speaker 2: not untouchable? Who do they not mention? They didn't mention.
Speaker 3: Theo gill Gillen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, THEO Gillen is untouchable. I agree with that. Brody
Speaker 2: Hopkins is someone that could get traded Austin over they
Speaker 2: actually have a lot of really unique minor league guys
Speaker 2: that they could package together to do something, so they
Speaker 2: could be surprisingly aggressive.
Speaker 3: The the Yankees, they've got Dax Kilby cars are we
Speaker 3: saying it's Lagronier, Elma Rodriguez, Henry Lalaine, Richard Maddock, Wilson d'panna,
Speaker 3: and Jason Vena. So no Lombard, no Lombard, no Spencer.
Speaker 2: The only thing that's missing though, is like I think Spencer,
Speaker 2: Jones and Domingas are like the headlinings of trade. I
Speaker 2: kind of think maybe Dax doesn't go anywhere, but I
Speaker 2: think I think everybody else is available. And they started
Speaker 2: trading outside of Lombard, Spencer Jones would start. Lagarani is hurt,
Speaker 2: so he wouldn't. Elmer could start because he has and
Speaker 2: I mean, Lombard is not gonna get traded, but if
Speaker 2: he were, he could start.
Speaker 3: So. But the Cubbies we've got outfielder King Kepley, catch
Speaker 3: her own airs, another outfielder, and Ethan Conrad sure stop,
Speaker 3: Juan Cabade and Johann Garraldo.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's I mean that's a weird list. Oen Ares
Speaker 2: is the funnest one of that. They're not trading uh God,
Speaker 2: uh Jonah or Josiah and Ethan Conrad Owen a Ers though,
Speaker 2: is like the most fun of that. And he's a guy.
Speaker 2: If he were to get traded, I think he could
Speaker 2: start catching for some but I think he's more of
Speaker 2: a Cubs prospect in here.
Speaker 3: So all right, Phillies the last one. We'll go through
Speaker 3: the whole team here, but it's gauge Wood, the pitcher
Speaker 3: outfielder of Dante Nori and Gabrielle Rinconez. A couple more
Speaker 3: pictures in Fisher and Marquez and ober Mueller their basement.
Speaker 3: Aaron Escobar centerfielder, Griffin Werkholder for the Phillies. Who do
Speaker 3: you think they move here? And is any of this
Speaker 3: good enough to get somebody big?
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's not. They're not because they didn't have
Speaker 2: Adan Miller in there, who's been hurt all season. They
Speaker 2: don't have Francisco Ranterio, who's incredible young guy. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you said a Ruin Escobar like, I just
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna change trade gauge Wood. So then
Speaker 2: the more I stare at this like, I just that's
Speaker 2: not the firepower to do anything. That's the firepower to
Speaker 2: go make like a mid level trade. So I just
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna make anything.
Speaker 3: Two more things on this, just between a couple of
Speaker 3: the teams like that are floating around in playoff contention,
Speaker 3: the White Sox, the Guardians, the Mariners, the d Backs,
Speaker 3: the Astros, the Marlins, the Pirates, and the Cardinals. Do
Speaker 3: you think any of these teams is going to trade
Speaker 3: big prospects or a glut of prospects to get something Seattle.
Speaker 3: I think it's all. Seattle is the one I think could, right.
Speaker 2: I think the White Sox could if they want, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the White Sox could trade Billy Carlson and Hagen Smith
Speaker 2: and they could combo and package him with like William Bargola,
Speaker 2: and they could go after like the Joe. They're not
Speaker 2: gonna get Joe Ryan, but the Joe Ryan type that
Speaker 2: might be what it takes to get read Debt Mers
Speaker 2: is Billy Carlson and Hagen Smith. So I think those
Speaker 2: guys do, and I think Seattle. I think Seattle they've
Speaker 2: got that opportunity sitting out there floating. They redid the
Speaker 2: draft in a nice way. They've got cells team who's
Speaker 2: moving up in Arroyo, and we didn't mention Montes and Farmelo.
Speaker 2: And it's like I just continuously stare at them with
Speaker 2: this good system. They have great pitching. I think they're
Speaker 2: gonna make a big trade that's going to have some guys.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna burn through this last part real quick
Speaker 3: for you. I just want to know if there's anybody
Speaker 3: else that you think will take a job from a
Speaker 3: guy traded, and if anyone is worth maybe picking up now.
Speaker 3: So we'll start with the Rocks. Obviously Condon, not Condon
Speaker 3: even Oh.
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you meant at Catcher or something like that.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, just just any guy coming up to
Speaker 3: take a job potentially, yep. Okay, the Giants, the Reds.
Speaker 2: M No, I mean like they still like the Matt
Speaker 2: McLean's floating out that. I'm trying to give it a
Speaker 2: quick thought. No, the Ied win a Royal maybe gets
Speaker 2: more playing time, but that's it.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: The Mets, the Mets Ronnie Mauricio could get some more
Speaker 2: playing time when they started trading. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: it's like ewing and binge are gonna or BINGI you're
Speaker 2: gonna get like their time. And then if they were
Speaker 2: to trade Robert and get rid of guys, maybe we
Speaker 2: could see Mauricio oh pictures, you know, if they do
Speaker 2: unload a couple Jack Winninger. Winninger is someone that I
Speaker 2: really like. So yeah, Winninger would be a.
Speaker 3: Guy that I'd look at the Angels and A's classing with.
Speaker 2: The Angels as I mentioned the A's No, I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they've kind of floated the Kolby Thomases,
Speaker 2: the Henry Bolt. I also don't think they're going to
Speaker 2: trade anybody.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 2: Nothing that comes to mind.
Speaker 3: The Royals and Tigers, Oh my.
Speaker 2: Known, there's nobody like like Blake Mitchell was someone we
Speaker 2: could see, but like they've got Carter Jensen and I'm
Speaker 2: trying to think of who the who the Royals trading.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anybody that's like ominous that would
Speaker 2: come up that's exciting. And who is the rais? Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Tigers, Oh, the Tigers, Max Clark, Max Clark is
Speaker 2: the one they trade off any more offensive outfield pieces.
Speaker 2: I think Max Clark is coming up for sure, and
Speaker 2: Max Anderson is someone I really like if they trade
Speaker 2: any other middle infield pieces. Max and McGonagall are really
Speaker 2: good friends, so I would want both of those guys.
Speaker 3: I don't know if the J's or o's or are
Speaker 3: real sellers, but if they are, anybody interesting you out
Speaker 3: of their system coming up?
Speaker 2: Not really No, So.
Speaker 3: If you had to pick one of those guys, you
Speaker 3: said that you would preemptively pick up. Is there are
Speaker 3: there any of them?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yes, sir? Or Condon?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Condon is at the top. I did a video
Speaker 2: on this. I think Condon is like at the top.
Speaker 2: Classen is also someone I think that it's like definitely
Speaker 2: going to happen. And then Joshua Bias is the other
Speaker 2: prospect I think we need to be paying attention to.
Speaker 2: I don't think Cardinals are going to make a move
Speaker 2: away from any of those players, but Bias is the
Speaker 2: guy that we're still waiting on. Oh and then Max Clark.
Speaker 2: Like Max Clark, I think no matter what the Tigers do,
Speaker 2: it's advantageous for them to take a look at him quick.
Speaker 2: He's been in the miners all year long. If they
Speaker 2: do start, if we get the piece that they're gonna
Speaker 2: sell off, Max Clark comes up and runs the rest
Speaker 2: of the season. Only caveat because he maybe don't want
Speaker 2: to bring him up too soon so you can keep
Speaker 2: his rookie eligibility for next year. For PPI, that would
Speaker 2: be the only thing with Clark at this point. So fun. Look,
Speaker 2: lots of prospects. We'll see once we get a little
Speaker 2: bit more clarity. I like the idea of like speculating
Speaker 2: on what those trades are gonna end up looking like,
Speaker 2: like what they're actually, you know, gonna be. So when
Speaker 2: we get bigger rumors, we'll continue talking on those. All right,
Speaker 2: final up here, two start pitchers for the coming week.
Speaker 2: Things can definitely change on the high end. Looking at
Speaker 2: CBS's report, you've got Chris Sale, Zach Wheeler, Sandale Contra,
Speaker 2: Chase Burns, Garrett Cole, George Curry. No concerns here, Michael King,
Speaker 2: there should be no really concerns. I know people are
Speaker 2: weird about him. Nothing there, Kyle Bradish nothing. Jake Bennett,
Speaker 2: two road games, A's and Dodgers. I just you can't
Speaker 2: move away from Jake Bennett, though.
Speaker 3: You can't. But it's a little dicey, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, if you could sit him on the Dodger one
Speaker 2: you clearly want to, but I think versus getting both
Speaker 2: starts or sitting, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're rolling him for now.
Speaker 2: He's hot landon Route, has home with the Brewers and
Speaker 2: on the road of the Padres.
Speaker 3: M yeah, that makes me queazy. What are your thoughts.
Speaker 3: I'll make you go first there.
Speaker 2: If I'm trying to I think it's riskier if I'm
Speaker 2: like trying to stack innings. I feel a little bit
Speaker 2: not great about that. I feel better about Kay Cavally
Speaker 2: who Kavally's got Blue Jayson the I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: like the Braves matchup, but I would rather Cavali over Route.
Speaker 3: Same here there.
Speaker 2: Michael McGreevy has the Cubs and the Blue Jays. I'm good, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll do that one. Griffin Jacks did have a good
Speaker 2: start after a couple bad ones, Rangers and White Sox.
Speaker 2: I'm doing that, yep. Okay, Max Freed, We're doing that.
Speaker 2: Bailey Ober Royals and at the Mariners. His last art
Speaker 2: was good, roll that I could do that one. Merle
Speaker 2: Pirates and Guardians both road.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you know, I think his last art
Speaker 3: was Okay, it wasn't quality, but the strikeouts have been down,
Speaker 3: plus the era has been up, so probably not right
Speaker 3: now this second.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm trying to avoid that one if I
Speaker 2: can h Seth Lugo. He's got the Twins and the Rockies.
Speaker 2: It's at Colorado. I'm gonna pass on that same. Okay,
Speaker 2: Ranger Sworez coming back A's and Dodgers both road games.
Speaker 2: I think I'm probably doing it.
Speaker 3: He's coming off an illness.
Speaker 2: It's it's high. He's own ninety five percent in CBS,
Speaker 2: but his start rates only around thirty five percent. But
Speaker 2: it's I think I'm starting him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I'll roll with you.
Speaker 2: Walbert has got the Astros and the Brewers.
Speaker 3: I'd do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're at the point my nose. But yeah, I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: if you want to be hugging ratios and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: you gotta be careful. But like we're in a group.
Speaker 2: I'm still Christian Scott's got the Braves and the Marlins.
Speaker 2: I'm doing that for the strikeout potential.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean his of course, I picked him on
Speaker 3: our short and he didn't do much. He like three
Speaker 3: and a third and gave up four.
Speaker 2: So yeah again, But Chandler, Diamondbacks and the Reds. I
Speaker 2: know he can be. I think I'm starting him on
Speaker 2: this one. It's home and Diamondbacks on the road at
Speaker 2: the Reds. I just think both those offenses, I think
Speaker 2: you can. I think Bubba is someone I'm willing to risk.
Speaker 3: I'm willing to do that.
Speaker 2: Kyder Montero has got the Orioles in the A's, I'll
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 3: He's been good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ye, Cage Jump has the Red Sox and the Tigers. Okay,
Speaker 2: the singer has not been as poop as as I
Speaker 2: think he is. He's got the Guardians and the Pirates.
Speaker 2: I'm washing on that one though.
Speaker 3: I'm good. He's been good recently, so I'm okay with him.
Speaker 3: He's not overwhelming. But if he's on your roster, start him.
Speaker 2: Mitch Keller's got the Diamondbacks and Reds.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm lukewarm.
Speaker 2: A my has a Road Angels, Home Rangers.
Speaker 3: Well, he's gonna be terrible on the next start because
Speaker 3: he's good in the last one, and then yeah, in
Speaker 3: the second start. It's what he's doing. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Guy might risk that one, but that one is one
Speaker 2: of the biggest riskier ones. Then the lower percentage Zach
Speaker 2: Thornton has got the Braves and the Marlins.
Speaker 3: I probably not interested.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sprott, I like this one. Giants and Angels, I
Speaker 2: do that. Yeah, I'm not doing Noah Schultz, No, he's
Speaker 2: in Rays. LIBERATORI has got the Cubs and the Blue Jays. Now,
Speaker 2: all right, then the last the last lower ownership is Shaconi,
Speaker 2: Colin Ray, Anthony k Martine Perez, Molly Kamar, rock or
