WEBVTT

00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a big story, and it's a story that

3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Dan Watkins and.

4
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 3>I just talked about.

5
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, Dan for not only the newscast

6
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 2>but also for the interview. At eight forty five, Dan

7
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 2>was covering a news conference today, the Red Sox have

8
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 2>parted ways with Raffie Devers. It's well, Dan Shaughnessy's piece

9
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>in the Globe today headline Devers good vibes are gone.

10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 2>This is not going to play well in Red Sox nation.

11
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:45.719
<v Speaker 2>It's shocking and demoralizing. I agree with Dan Shaughnessy. I

12
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 2>don't get this, I really don't. I'm sure there are

13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>some of you out there who have an explanation. The

14
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox apparently held a news conference last or they

15
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>did hold a news conference. Dan Watkins was monitoring that

16
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>for all of us. Sam Kennedy, the president of the

17
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox, an affable guy who I think does a

18
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 2>great job representing this team as a as a public face.

19
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>The president of the Red Sox, and Craig Breslow. I

20
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know Breslow. I know Kennedy a little bit. Breslow

21
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 2>bright Guye out of Yale, left handed reliever in the

22
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>big leagues, and they're you know, long time baseball people.

23
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 2>But I would think that you could have gotten more

24
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 2>for Raffie Deevers, particularly as you got towards the towards

25
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the trade deadline in late July. And the reason I

26
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>say that is if a team was a couple of

27
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>games out of the playoffs, those would be the teams

28
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>who would really want to get involved. Or if there

29
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>was a team there was just a couple of games ahead,

30
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 2>they might like to solidify their position. Bottom line is

31
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>that Raffi Devers uh is no longer a Red Sox.

32
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I think most of you know the backstory that over

33
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>time Devors uh fell into disfavor let's put it like that,

34
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>into disfavor with with the Red Sox that Uh there

35
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>they they they they went, and they got Alex Bragman,

36
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>great baseball player, a little older than Devers by the way,

37
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>but great baseball players, baseball player, and Devs all of

38
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>a sudden lost his position uh as as a Red

39
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Sox third baseman, which of course is pretty discouraging if

40
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>you're if you're Raffie Devers. Now there's a lot of

41
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>guys who you know, finished their career as a designated hitter,

42
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and Raffie Devers started the season horribly, just horribly, but

43
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 2>has come on in the last two months or two

44
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>months plus and has played really well.

45
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 3>As a matter of fact, yesterday hit a home run

46
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 3>off of the.

47
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Yankee aceh Max Freed, And so that's kind of I

48
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 2>think interesting that he's he's done well. You heard Dan

49
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Watkins explain that they wanted to play for a space

50
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and that Sam Kennedy used the word they they couldn't get.

51
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 3>In alignment with with the player.

52
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's making a lot of money, and I can

53
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>see with the Red Sox were upset. John Henry, the

54
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>owner of the Red Sox, along with Sam Kennedy, flew

55
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>out and had a meeting with Devers in Kansas City

56
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 2>earlier this year to try to sell will calm the waters. Well,

57
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>that meeting apparently didn't work. Uh and uh it is

58
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 2>beginning to appear that no matter what effort was made, UH,

59
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 2>they were not going to come to an agreement. And

60
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>as a consequence, Raffie Devers is now a member of

61
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the San Francisco Giants and a huge, huge loss for

62
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox. Now, the Red Sox has some good players,

63
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 2>and they have good players coming up. Okay, they absolutely

64
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 2>have have good players coming up. Uh And and they'll

65
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>have their tough times like anyone else.

66
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 3>But to lose a guy like Devers.

67
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 2>He was the heart of this team, really was the

68
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>heart of this team. And to lose him at this

69
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 2>point in the year, when the when the team just

70
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>started to be to turn themselves around kind of shocking

71
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 2>to me anyway. And I'd love to know what do

72
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>you think? Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty

73
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 2>If you're a Red Sox fan, Uh, love to hear

74
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>what you would you would think. I think it's it's

75
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>a it's a tough pill to swallow because they were

76
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>they were starting to pull get their act together, just

77
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.959
<v Speaker 2>the only way to describe it. So, if you're a

78
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox fan, if you think that that Rivers was

79
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>was a guy who was causing problems within the clubhouse,

80
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. I mean, just from looking from afar,

81
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>he was doing his job. He did have that ground

82
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>ball what about a week ago that he didn't will

83
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>run out, which is the only time and maybe he's

84
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>done at other times. But the only time that I

85
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>thought he acted unprofessionally. He started down the line. You

86
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>almost thought, well, maybe he pulled up, you know, he

87
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>pulled a hammy or something like that. But no, he

88
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 2>definitely slowed down. And you can see Cora kind of

89
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>barking at him as coraic as he headed back to

90
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the dugout that was in New York during the Achy series.

91
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Now they did want well, they won two down there,

92
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 2>then they swept New York. Here Aaron Judge looked terrible

93
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 2>this weekend.

94
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Rafi.

95
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Deveres looked fine when Rafi. When Devis started, if you

96
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>remember the first eighteen at bats, I think he struck

97
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 2>out something like fourteen times, had one hit. Well, he's

98
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 2>now back to the old Raffie Devers. The Red Sox

99
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>play in Seattle, to play in San Francisco this weekend,

100
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>so there will be a reunion of Devers in the

101
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox this weekend. Devers, I'm not sure if he's

102
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be in the lineup tonight. The Giants are

103
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>hosting the Cleveland Guardians tonight in San Francisco, so we'll

104
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>have to I'll check that lineup when it Well, it's

105
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 2>nine forty. I'm not sure if that's nine forty five

106
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 2>their time or nine forty I guess it's nine forty

107
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>five our time.

108
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

109
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to check and see if that game is underway.

110
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 2>We can do that during the break, But in the meantime,

111
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll love to hear from you if you're a baseball fan.

112
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>This is pretty dispiriting. I don't see what they got

113
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>back for Devors. They obviously offloaded a lot of salary.

114
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>In baseball parliamce sometimes that's a salary dump. So they

115
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>have freed up about two hundred and fifty million dollars

116
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 2>in salary that they were committed to pay Devers, which

117
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 2>now will be paid by the Giants or whoever else

118
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 2>the Giants my trade devors too. The argument that I

119
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>heard made today, which I thought was pretty compelling, was

120
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 2>wait until the trade deadline. That would be the time

121
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 2>where you could probably get maximum value for because there's

122
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>always five or six teams who are there, and they're

123
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>just that one player away. There's one player away for

124
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the last third of the season, is what it comes

125
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 2>down to. So the numbers and six, one, seven, two, five,

126
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty and six one seven, nine, three one

127
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. We don't do a lot of sports here

128
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>on night side, but I'm a pretty good baseball guy,

129
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 2>and you can talk to me, Okay. I understand the

130
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 2>game pretty well, followed it my entire life for a

131
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>long time. Had lots of friends who played in the

132
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>major leagues, So I understand. It's a tough business, and

133
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.080
<v Speaker 2>it is a business. It's a business to the owners,

134
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a business to the players, and it's the businesses

135
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 2>for the general managers too, because if the team does well,

136
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the general manager stays for a couple more years. We've

137
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 2>seen in the last few a few years, you know,

138
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>uh names like you know, Dave Dombrowski and Ben Sherrington,

139
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 2>who have you know gone gone and moved on theo

140
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Epstein before that. It's not a long term position. The

141
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 2>only long term GM and baseball is for us I

142
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 2>know of any duration is Brian Cashman, the Yankees general manager.

143
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:18.080
<v Speaker 2>But after the weekend the Yankees had I suspect maybe

144
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 2>the weekend that they had the there's zero zero with

145
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>the Angels tonight at the eighth inning, the Yankees just

146
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>are not hitting. It's as simple as that. They've gone

147
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 2>now four games and scored probably a total of three

148
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>runs if I if I'm calculating correctly, so they are

149
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 2>right for the taking. Are the Red Sox up for

150
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the job without Raffie Devers?

151
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 3>That's the question?

152
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Six one seme on right back on Night Side.

153
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray, Boston's news radio.

154
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 3>We don't do sports here every night. This is not

155
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 3>a sports show. But I understand baseball.

156
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>And I enjoy baseball. I think it's of all the games.

157
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Certainly I like hockey too, But I'm a baseball guy

158
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>at heart, and this one doesn't make a lot of

159
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>sense to me. So let's let's see. Let's see what

160
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 2>do you think of it. Maybe some of you can

161
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>explain to me why it's a brilliant move.

162
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

163
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's see what John in Weymouth thinks. Hey, John, Raffie devastraatee,

164
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.480
<v Speaker 2>what where would you put this in the pantheon of

165
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox trades?

166
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 4>Dan good to be good to be on Night Side,

167
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 4>of course, so you taking my call. But Dan, if

168
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm missed to Henry and as you hit the nail

169
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:53.120
<v Speaker 4>on the head, this guy devis he works for the

170
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Red Sox Corporation, correct.

171
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Correct.

172
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 4>The boss me ask him, not only be a great

173
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.279
<v Speaker 4>designated hitter, Davis, would you be kind enough to play

174
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 4>third base? And he says no, I'm paying your two

175
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 4>hundred million dollars, which I'd like to play first base.

176
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's actually about it. In total, it's about

177
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and thirty million.

178
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 3>By the way.

179
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, I'm an orthopedic surgeon, and that's ridiculous. Okay, Hey,

180
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 4>someone pays someone to play baseball for three hundred million

181
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:30.600
<v Speaker 4>dollars a year.

182
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Is that capitalism? Capitalism is a wonderful thing. Could you

183
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:36.200
<v Speaker 2>hit the curveball?

184
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 3>Doc? Doctor?

185
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Can you hit the curveball? That's the that's the problem

186
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 2>that you and I both have.

187
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 5>Is it me or not?

188
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 4>But I'm mister Henry. I asked this guy that works

189
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 4>for me to go ahead and do something that I'd

190
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.360
<v Speaker 4>like to have him do. Okay he tells me no.

191
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 4>He tells me no, Okay, so I'd fire him. I'd

192
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 4>fire him too.

193
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's my question, a doctor, uh and delighted that

194
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the surgeon will call my my my program, I'm honored.

195
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>So my question is this, Yeah, No, here's my question.

196
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 2>My question is you make a decision, and you say,

197
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 2>you know what, we can't deal with this guy anymore.

198
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 2>He's right, he's a he's a he's a problem in

199
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the clubhouse. Let's say that. Okay, so we're going to

200
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>get rid of him. Is this the best You're going

201
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 2>to get? A couple of pictures who have had physical

202
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>injuries and control problems, and a couple of minor leaguers.

203
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>They gave them away. They gave them away. You haven't

204
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you have an asset in your portfolio?

205
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:44.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

206
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 2>If if you had some stock stock in your portfolio

207
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>there was worth one thousand dollars a share and you had,

208
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, five thousand shares, would you sell that sell

209
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 2>that stock to me for two dollars a year?

210
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 3>Of course?

211
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Not no. But Dan, let me ask you this question. Yeah,

212
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 4>let's say let's say let's say you own the Red Sox, right,

213
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 4>and you asked and you asked Devers to do a

214
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 4>certain job, right, And he said, and he said, no,

215
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.559
<v Speaker 4>how would you handle that? How would you handle that?

216
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Well? I got to be honest with you. The backstory.

217
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 3>You have to understand.

218
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 2>He comes to spring training as the Red Sox third baseman.

219
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Now again, he's not Brooks Robinson as a fresh fielder,

220
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.720
<v Speaker 2>but he's an adequate third baseman. Uh, And they said

221
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>to him, no, you're going to be the DH. Well,

222
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>it turns out that Alex Bregman, who's kind of the

223
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>new kid on the block, and by the way, is

224
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>older than Devers. They they sign him for third base. Okay,

225
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>so they tell Devers you're going to be the DH. Well,

226
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>guess why all of a sudden, Brigman gets hurt. Uh.

227
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.440
<v Speaker 2>And apparently they say we want you to go to

228
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>third base and he says, no, you told me I'm

229
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 2>a designated hitter.

230
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, yeah, I can understand that too. But at

231
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 4>the same time, you're paying this guy no no idea

232
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 4>what someone said, Hey, Dan, we're gonna give you a

233
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.159
<v Speaker 4>three hundred million dollars to stay at w b Z.

234
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I would consider that seriously, very seriously. God John, I

235
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.799
<v Speaker 2>appreciate the call, doctor, doctor John.

236
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:33.279
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, thank you very much.

237
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 6>Took.

238
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're you're underpaid whatever you do? What what what

239
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.120
<v Speaker 2>folks in the medical field do. They're all underpaid as

240
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.120
<v Speaker 2>far as I'm concerned. Thank you so much for your time.

241
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Good night, All right, let me get you got room

242
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.519
<v Speaker 2>here for Tony yeah, we'll give it a shot. Six

243
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>one seven two Tony and Epping, New Hampshire.

244
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Tony. You're a Red Sox fan.

245
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 5>Big Red Sox fan, and you know, I think there

246
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 5>is a little a little going on on both ends.

247
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you know, you were a professional. You get

248
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.720
<v Speaker 5>paid to do a job. You know this this guy

249
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 5>was electric. He had the potential of you know, this

250
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.919
<v Speaker 5>exit velocity with his just acumen and the way that

251
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:15.960
<v Speaker 5>he approached the plate and the way that he had

252
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 5>the offense that he you know, had for the overall team.

253
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 3>You lose that.

254
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.360
<v Speaker 5>I thought this guy was going to be a potential

255
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 5>home run King actually invested in a lot of his cards,

256
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 5>and I was like, oh, jeezus, this guy isn't pulling

257
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.639
<v Speaker 5>off thirty five to forty like I thought. But he's

258
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:34.240
<v Speaker 5>still doing pretty bang up excellent. You know, I think

259
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 5>when when you're playing a sport and they say, hey,

260
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, play third base or whatever, I can see

261
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 5>him not wanting to go back after pregnant hurts. He's like, well,

262
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 5>you know, my culture may dictate that I'm going to

263
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 5>be possibly a little more tough headed than I should be,

264
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:51.759
<v Speaker 5>or my actions are going to act that way as well.

265
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:53.159
<v Speaker 5>And I'm just going to be a little bit like

266
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 5>pig headed, you know, and I think that doesn't go

267
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 5>well with ownership. And they didn't want it to spread

268
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 5>like a tumor, you know, and that just where they

269
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 5>said they're gonta cut tithes. But you know what this

270
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.639
<v Speaker 5>these ownership groups are so diversified, with so many other

271
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.159
<v Speaker 5>interests in the Socks that he's more caring about his

272
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.879
<v Speaker 5>frigin soccer team, right, he really cares about the Red

273
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.159
<v Speaker 5>Sox going independant race. I mean, they actually can make

274
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.759
<v Speaker 5>a run rate now when you're y because you've gotta

275
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 5>pay some friggin dude from whatever Manchester United or whatever

276
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 5>other place is gonna pay for him and be like, oh,

277
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.559
<v Speaker 5>we're gonna get this guy. It's it's the interest of diversified,

278
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.200
<v Speaker 5>no focus on the Socks. They don't look like the

279
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 5>ownership team besides Bruslo whatever that is in the GM

280
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 5>spot right.

281
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, yeah, let me help. Let me help you

282
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.720
<v Speaker 2>out with your stats, which I think are good. He

283
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 2>had a horrible first week of the season, we all

284
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 2>know that, right, but he already he now has and

285
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 2>they they're just at they're like seventy three games, they're

286
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 2>not even at the halfway mark.

287
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so he hit the brake. He's he's got.

288
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen homers, which which puts him on a trajectory for

289
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 2>at least thirty probably thirty five. He's got at this

290
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.160
<v Speaker 2>point fifty eight RBIs. He's going to have one hundred

291
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 2>and thirty RBIs with the Red Sox.

292
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but that that goes out the door. That's tough

293
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 3>to replace, tough to replace.

294
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.720
<v Speaker 5>Let's say let's say he's fifteen percent of your offense.

295
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, there's numbers is probably somebody would call

296
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 5>up on that, right, but whatever, it would be out

297
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 5>of the lineup right for however many runs or whatever

298
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 5>that stat he gets right for that, like, you're not

299
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.559
<v Speaker 5>replacing it with two arms like a water be arm

300
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 5>and it may be arm in middle relief. And then

301
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 5>two prospects like oh it was a first draft pick

302
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 5>last year. Then why did he do well? You know,

303
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 5>like you know you have a little bit uptick time,

304
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.279
<v Speaker 5>but you know you're got to be thrown to the

305
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 5>fire in this league and just kind of run with it.

306
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, look at what look at what they got for

307
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>for bets I mean, uh for Doogal is long gone.

308
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:04.839
<v Speaker 2>No Wong is now a backup catcher, backup catcher. And

309
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>then they had a uh a kid who's who's had

310
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 2>the same last name as Jeter. He's he's washed out

311
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>of baseball, Jeter Downs. Jeter Downs was the shortstop if

312
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 2>he was supposed to going to.

313
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Speaker 5>Be Bogarts, right, how about Bogarts his approach to the plate,

314
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:23.839
<v Speaker 5>his acuim in his way. If every you know what,

315
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:28.400
<v Speaker 5>taking pitches, wearing pitchers down like fn an opportunity, Sure

316
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 5>bets he'd be on first piece he's at second. Now

317
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.519
<v Speaker 5>you gotta runner and scoring position like right off the bat,

318
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 5>you know, so you know we're losing out of that.

319
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Devra's home run ball. Wish he came into camp a

320
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.119
<v Speaker 5>little bit in better shape. You know you're coming like

321
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.359
<v Speaker 5>you already know you might be at the age. Yeah,

322
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I hear you, I hear you. Well, I

323
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:49.880
<v Speaker 5>mean you don't take three weeks to get in shape.

324
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.440
<v Speaker 5>The other the other thing, ready.

325
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.119
<v Speaker 2>The other thing too is look this, by the way,

326
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 2>I was mistaken. The Giants aren't playing tonight. They play Cleveland.

327
00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.839
<v Speaker 2>They opened up tomorrow and it's the Red Sox who

328
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>are playing out in Seattle tonight.

329
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Deps was was a guy who, to the.

330
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Best of my knowledge, they all get banged up, but

331
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.759
<v Speaker 2>he's never had.

332
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 3>A serious injury.

333
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Pretty sturdy guy, and you know you could count on

334
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 2>him for one hundred and fifty five games a year.

335
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.359
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of production. I don't know, we'll see.

336
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 2>The thing that's great about baseball, right is the end

337
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.960
<v Speaker 2>of the season. You see where they are. They happen

338
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to trade him. Uh while they had just won five

339
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 2>in a row for the first time this season, and

340
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 2>they had swept the Yankees, swept him on a Fenway Park.

341
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Right off, and then come.

342
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.680
<v Speaker 2>On, they pulled they pulled them, I think off the plane.

343
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 2>They said that they the deal finally was done. They

344
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.279
<v Speaker 2>pulled him off the plane and he had to take

345
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 2>a cab, a cab back to Fedway. I don't know

346
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>if you saw the video then Channel five had, but

347
00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:59.000
<v Speaker 2>he gets out of this little cab.

348
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's like, well, I'm sure he'll be treated

349
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:04.759
<v Speaker 3>royally in San Francisco.

350
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 5>Not a way to treat him. I would say, there's

351
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 5>a little bit of shade on both sides, to tell

352
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 5>you the truth, But you know, one thing I would

353
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.799
<v Speaker 5>say is if you get an opportunity to play first,

354
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 5>or you're a professional, and they say you got to

355
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 5>go back to third, maybe a response would be like,

356
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 5>all right, I'll be ready. You know, it's just I mean,

357
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.480
<v Speaker 5>he went from a very bad third baseman to a

358
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.920
<v Speaker 5>mid range to you know, maybe a shade up or

359
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.599
<v Speaker 5>he worked on it.

360
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.599
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah I did.

361
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah right, you know, so you know what things happen.

362
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, there's only a TV's going for a backup

363
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.240
<v Speaker 5>pree job or a wide receiver or corners all the

364
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 5>time in safeties like that's how it goes.

365
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you this, there aren't too many guys in

366
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the game who have his inate ability to hit a baseball.

367
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 2>I remember the first time I saw him playing at Patucket,

368
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it was in twenty seventeen, and first time

369
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>in the baddest box. He just looked at me and said,

370
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 2>this guy's different. There's something about the way he carries himself,

371
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's just hitting the line drives. So we'll say,

372
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.519
<v Speaker 2>we'll say it's a long season. We still have more

373
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:07.839
<v Speaker 2>than half of the season ago. So this is one

374
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.920
<v Speaker 2>of those experiments in a peatfre dish we're all going

375
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>to be able to watch between now and the end

376
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 2>of September.

377
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Tony, appreciate you calling.

378
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Good, Thank you real quick. I'll say I was not

379
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.319
<v Speaker 5>happy about it. That's what I wanted to tell you.

380
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think that's pretty obvious, right, Thank you, Thank you, Tony.

381
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Of a great one. I got some lines available. We're

382
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.279
<v Speaker 2>talking about the Raffie Devonstraate, Devonstright. Now, look, I can

383
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:34.119
<v Speaker 2>talk baseball, trust me that I can talk. I can

384
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.559
<v Speaker 2>take you back to I'll take you back to the

385
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.880
<v Speaker 2>nineteen fifties Red Sox.

386
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.279
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

387
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh and and of course historically even beyond that. Okay,

388
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.480
<v Speaker 2>So I do get it. I understand it. I think

389
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>this is a dangerous move. I don't see how the

390
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox improve, and they are going to have There's

391
00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 2>some guys, I don't know, someone speculating this, maybe the

392
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>three rookies. They're not going back down. Campbell and Mayor

393
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 2>and Anthony. They're there for the ride. It's as simple

394
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.160
<v Speaker 2>as that the pitching isn't bad. That the pitching has

395
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:13.200
<v Speaker 2>actually come around.

396
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.359
<v Speaker 3>The bullpen's pretty good. I saw that Slayton today has

397
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:18.400
<v Speaker 3>a problem with his neck.

398
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.039
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

399
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.400
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you rest the guy up and he'll

400
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 2>be come back a little stronger. Sometimes an injury to

401
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.319
<v Speaker 2>a pitcher during the season actually helps the pitcher because

402
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 2>the arms, the arm gets to get refreshed. So that

403
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.519
<v Speaker 2>might work fine. But I just look at the lineup

404
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 2>and I'm thinking, Okay, let's see what happens. We'll see

405
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:41.759
<v Speaker 2>what happens starting built tonight. Uh in Seattle. They're facing

406
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good picture in Seattle tonight. Let's see what happens.

407
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they'll score fifteen runs. Okay, six one seven, two thirty, six,

408
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 2>one seven, nine thirty. Let's light him up. We're gonna

409
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:55.279
<v Speaker 2>go with this until ten o'clock.

410
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 3>And no further. It's one hour max.

411
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 2>And if I'm gonna talk my way through the balance

412
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 2>of the hour, I can talk baseball for an hour.

413
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.079
<v Speaker 3>I can.

414
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I can bring you back to the days of Gene

415
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Stevens and Carol Hardy and people like that of the

416
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox outfield, or people like Eddie Pursued and Don

417
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Budden and my great friend Ted Lepsio, who was actually

418
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.319
<v Speaker 2>a really fine player for the Red Sox in the

419
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.759
<v Speaker 2>nineteen fifties. We'll come back on nightside right after this

420
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk baseball and Raffie Devers.

421
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.279
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.

422
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:30.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're talking a little baseball. Raffie Devers is gone.

423
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Here's Bill in New York.

424
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Bill. I'm not sure if you're.

425
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 2>A Yankee fan, but I bet you're probably pretty happy

426
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.759
<v Speaker 2>to see Raffie Devers playing in the National League.

427
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.480
<v Speaker 6>Well, i'll tell you. I'm I'm a Boston fan, Okay,

428
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:52.119
<v Speaker 6>born in New York but left very early, and I'm

429
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:53.680
<v Speaker 6>a Red Sox fan through and through.

430
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Good for you, Good for you.

431
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'll tell you. I think it was the best

432
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.640
<v Speaker 6>move the Red Sox made.

433
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 2>You were going to be in a definite minority.

434
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:05.759
<v Speaker 3>Tell me why.

435
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 6>Well, you were talking about the trade coming up soon.

436
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.920
<v Speaker 6>Get rid of him before you can't get rid of them,

437
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.720
<v Speaker 6>And get rid of the two hundred and fifty million

438
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:26.160
<v Speaker 6>left on his salary or his contract, and get somebody

439
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:29.799
<v Speaker 6>or some other people that could come in and do

440
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:34.880
<v Speaker 6>a little bit of what he did. But if you have,

441
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 6>we go back to Beckett in the in the in

442
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:44.000
<v Speaker 6>the locker room or the clubhouse with the beers and

443
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.160
<v Speaker 6>chicken fried chicken.

444
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:47.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you got you gotta get rid of the.

445
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 6>Cancer I think he was making. He was he was

446
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 6>creating a problem within the organization, and I think they

447
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:02.039
<v Speaker 6>got rid of him just in time before he corrupted

448
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:03.119
<v Speaker 6>a lot of other people.

449
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's a different that's a different take. And I'm

450
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.079
<v Speaker 2>sure Craig Breslow is listening. He's happy to hear that.

451
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what. Look he has always been Has

452
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>he ever been a problem child with this organization for

453
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the eight years he's played here.

454
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.839
<v Speaker 6>No, But I'll tell you, like like your last call

455
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 6>has said. You know, if mister Henry says, hey, I

456
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:28.880
<v Speaker 6>need you to do this, and he says, no, you

457
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:31.839
<v Speaker 6>made me a DH. I need you to do this. No,

458
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 6>you made me a DH. And that's what I'm doing

459
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 6>when I hit the ball. Well, you're not hitting the

460
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:38.359
<v Speaker 6>ball all that well all the time.

461
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:43.799
<v Speaker 2>And are the country the guy has? The guy has

462
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight RBIs they're not halfway through the season. That

463
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 2>puts him on the track for about one hundred and

464
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty RBIs. That's not a bad year. Thirty five home

465
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 2>rounds not bad?

466
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:57.240
<v Speaker 6>Is it worth two hundred and fifty million this.

467
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Day and age?

468
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:01.200
<v Speaker 2>It very well might be very well by the way

469
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 2>they play. They're paid a lot of people a lot

470
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.319
<v Speaker 2>of money. I mean, you know, what do you want

471
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 2>him to do? You know, play for half the price?

472
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know you you're oh, I understand the point

473
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you're making. You either remember the team or you're not,

474
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:17.240
<v Speaker 2>is what you're saying to me. And I I generally

475
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:18.480
<v Speaker 2>buy into that philosophy.

476
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, I'm a veteran of the army and

477
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 6>and I always, uh, I was brought up you do

478
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:29.880
<v Speaker 6>what you're gonna do for the whole team.

479
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I get it. And you weren't.

480
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.880
<v Speaker 2>You weren't making anywhere near three hundred and thirty million

481
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>when you're in the army.

482
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting I know that.

483
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.960
<v Speaker 6>No, no, no. When I when I got out on

484
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 6>ninety six, I think my monthly salary was uh nine

485
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.799
<v Speaker 6>and ninety eight dollars for the month.

486
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Wow? Uh what what was what was your rank? H?

487
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 5>E four E four E four?

488
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fair enough, Look, thank you for your service, and

489
00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:59.759
<v Speaker 2>thank you for your call. This is a really thoughtful

490
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:02.720
<v Speaker 2>phone call. And let's see how it works out. To me,

491
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.279
<v Speaker 2>if the Red Sox get rolling here and they they

492
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 2>they make the playoffs, everyone's going to look back on

493
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:12.720
<v Speaker 2>this as the trade for when they traded Nomar Gassia Para. Uh.

494
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 2>If you remember back in two thousand and four, Gaussian

495
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Para was kind of hurt, wasn't particularly playing well, And

496
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that was the game that Jeter leaped into the stands.

497
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.559
<v Speaker 2>He looked like Superman going into the stands to catch

498
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>a foul ball. And all of a sudden, people were

499
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 2>looking at Gassia Para and Jeter and saying, boy, I

500
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.440
<v Speaker 2>wish we had Jeter. And they traded Gassia Para and

501
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I thought that he was a pretty good player. But

502
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 2>they won the pennant that year and they won the

503
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.880
<v Speaker 2>World Series. So if they replicate that feat this year,

504
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:44.839
<v Speaker 2>they're going to look back on the demonstrade and say,

505
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 2>not a bad deal.

506
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:53.000
<v Speaker 6>If I got one other thing to say, Dan, if

507
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 6>you don't mind, I was. I was at Fenway Park

508
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.920
<v Speaker 6>when they had the Jerry Remi day when they gave

509
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:09.000
<v Speaker 6>out the the patches or the number number two I

510
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 6>ride motorcycle. I put that on my vest and I

511
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:16.759
<v Speaker 6>was up in New York and I had a guy

512
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:20.279
<v Speaker 6>I'm gassing up my bike. I had a guy say

513
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 6>to me, hey, I knew Jerry Remy. He'd be so

514
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 6>proud of you wearing that number two.

515
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:28.599
<v Speaker 3>Good for you, Good for you.

516
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:28.960
<v Speaker 1>It was.

517
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Remy.

518
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Remy was a local guy, grew up at Somerset and

519
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.240
<v Speaker 2>he made it. He made it for the Red Sox,

520
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 2>not only as a player, pretty good second basement, but

521
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a great sidekick announcer, color guy. Absolutely, Thank you, Belle,

<v Speaker 2>If I get through them, I might be able to

537
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 2>political violence in America. Too much of it and too

538
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.799
<v Speaker 2>many people are quiet in the wake of it. Coming

539
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:24.960
<v Speaker 2>back on Nightside.

540
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WZ Boston's

541
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:30.319
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

542
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's keep rolling.

543
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 2>He's going to go to Tim and Ruber and Tim,

544
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:35.960
<v Speaker 2>what do you think about the Rapie devonstrate.

545
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 7>Well, I'll tell you Raffie Devils is a great ballplayer.

546
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:42.319
<v Speaker 3>He can hit, no doubt about that.

547
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:44.920
<v Speaker 2>He can wake up at three o'clock in the morning

548
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:45.640
<v Speaker 2>and hit.

549
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 5>That's right.

550
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 7>Anything with the trade, with the trade. I don't know

551
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.200
<v Speaker 7>if you know this, but yeah, right, number eighth of

552
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:58.480
<v Speaker 7>the sock h His grandson plays in San Francisco night.

553
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, that Mike absolutely sure played Clay in the

554
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:05.920
<v Speaker 2>college ball down down south.

555
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 7>He was he was playing at Vanderbilt really and the

556
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:13.240
<v Speaker 7>first time he played a Samway Park, Yas was there

557
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:15.279
<v Speaker 7>and his mother and father were there, and he hit

558
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:15.960
<v Speaker 7>a home run.

559
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Yep, I think he had about the first pitch that.

560
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Yas had the ability to throw out the

561
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:23.559
<v Speaker 2>first pitch that day.

562
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 4>That's right, that's right.

563
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 7>He Now. I'm a big baseball man. I played baseball, football, baseball,

564
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 7>ran track. But this isn't about me. It's about Rafiel

565
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 7>Devis Now. I think his contract is for two hundred

566
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:43.319
<v Speaker 7>and eighty four million guaranteed three thirty.

567
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Three thirty yep, and they've already gone through it a

568
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:50.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of years. So this I think it's two fifty

569
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 2>is left. So the Giants have assumed two hundred and

570
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 2>fifty million dollars to pay off.

571
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:56.839
<v Speaker 3>The balance of his contract.

572
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:01.839
<v Speaker 7>Jewelmber the movie with Tom Who's and Cuba Goodies Junior,

573
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:03.160
<v Speaker 7>show me the money?

574
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

575
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.359
<v Speaker 7>Sure they're showing them the money. Good for them, Well.

576
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 2>The Red Sox decided to get rid of them. It's

577
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:12.759
<v Speaker 2>a big gamble for the Red Sox. I don't think

578
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:16.359
<v Speaker 2>they got much in return, so we'll we'll have to

579
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:18.160
<v Speaker 2>see how it works out. If the Red Sox play

580
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:20.519
<v Speaker 2>better baseball in the second half of the season, then

581
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 2>it'll be considered a success. If they don't, it will

582
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 2>be considered a mistake.

583
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 8>Right.

584
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 7>I think they got two pitches, right, young guys. Baseball

585
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 7>is eighty five percent nine percent pitching. And anyhow, and

586
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.400
<v Speaker 7>the long one I love Cora Cora anyhow, and the

587
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.759
<v Speaker 7>long one. We'll see what the pitching does.

588
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll see both. Neither of them have been outstanding.

589
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 2>They're oh, they're they're they're they're a couple of pitchers.

590
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.640
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we'll have to see. I mean, let's

591
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:53.599
<v Speaker 2>see what happens by the end of the season, and

592
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 2>we will. We'll do something on this sometime towards the

593
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:58.279
<v Speaker 2>end of September. Hey, Tim, thanks so much for the

594
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>call as always, my friend, Thank you so much.

595
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.720
<v Speaker 7>And can I say one more thing? Sure, go ahead,

596
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:08.440
<v Speaker 7>and yeah, I called you on your OFFI a number

597
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:11.720
<v Speaker 7>on Bob's Day and I said, Happy Father's Day. You're

598
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:12.559
<v Speaker 7>a great father.

599
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I was. I was about to thank you for that

600
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 2>that message. I appreciated him right back at you, Tim, Okay, thank.

601
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:19.319
<v Speaker 3>You, my friend.

602
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:21.720
<v Speaker 7>Keep up a good work. Thank you, talk to you.

603
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep rolling. He gonna go to Bob in California.

604
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Bob is not a raffie Devers guy. I don't think,

605
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Hey Bob next to a nightside haw wayre.

606
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.480
<v Speaker 9>You Dan doing well? Hope you're doing okay too.

607
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Hope you are great.

608
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:35.720
<v Speaker 4>To hear your voice, thank you.

609
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:39.720
<v Speaker 9>Likewise, yes, and you're correct, And the bottom line is okay.

610
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:43.400
<v Speaker 9>Devers is lucky, very lucky. So the guy like me

611
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:47.359
<v Speaker 9>is not general manager. It's not Craig Brizil because I

612
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 9>would have called him in and said, okay, you're refusing

613
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:54.119
<v Speaker 9>to be d h and then recently, he refused to

614
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:56.599
<v Speaker 9>play for a space and I would have said to him, you,

615
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 9>just what did your contract? Because you're refusing to play

616
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.920
<v Speaker 9>the contract is voided and I want to cut him.

617
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, you would have saved two hundred and fifty dollars,

618
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:11.319
<v Speaker 2>I guess, assuming that the Major League Baseball Players Association

619
00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:15.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't sue you, but you probably bought yourself a lawsuit.

620
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:20.960
<v Speaker 9>Persol did the right thing. In my opinion, he did

621
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:22.759
<v Speaker 9>the right thing. Just get rid of him. I agree

622
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:26.160
<v Speaker 9>with the New York caller, he's a cancer. Okay. The

623
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.160
<v Speaker 9>player does not decide. They don't decide where they play.

624
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:34.839
<v Speaker 9>Imagine if players, Imagine if all twenty five players every

625
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 9>night decided, oh, I'm going to play this position or

626
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.559
<v Speaker 9>that position. Okay, I get it.

627
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:42.519
<v Speaker 2>There's there's a lot of there's a lot of support

628
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:47.079
<v Speaker 2>for Craig Breslow here on the program. I think I

629
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 2>think the majority of the callers are are not favorably

630
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 2>inclined towards mister Devers.

631
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 9>Devers. The New York caller is right, Devers is a

632
00:33:56.319 --> 00:34:00.559
<v Speaker 9>cancer to the team. Good luck to the Giants. Okay,

633
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:03.920
<v Speaker 9>different sport. But Bill Black, oh, he schoosed to talk

634
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:07.039
<v Speaker 9>about teamwork. Okay, and if you're not me oriented, and

635
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.960
<v Speaker 9>that includes members of the Boston Red Sox, get rid

636
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:10.280
<v Speaker 9>of them.

637
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 3>Okay, all right.

638
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Shut all right, thank you, Bob. Talk soon about soon

639
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 2>there you Okay, Joe and Belmont, Joe, you're gonna wrap

640
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:19.199
<v Speaker 2>the our office.

641
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.639
<v Speaker 8>Go ahead, Joe'll only be seventy seconds. I think the

642
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:26.559
<v Speaker 8>trade is going to hurt the Red Sox offense. And

643
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:30.599
<v Speaker 8>I got a trivia question, Jim Womberg nineteen sixty seven.

<v Speaker 8>Who were the three Red Sox second basement and they

645
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:36.239
<v Speaker 8>were all good hitters.

00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Smith here was an on field opening He was

647
00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:47.079
<v Speaker 2>the opening day second Basement in nineteen sixty seven. Mike Andrews.

00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:15.039
<v Speaker 2>was teaching at a Long Island High school.
