Spring training games are today. 10 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,960 I've got Kenji with me. Camp is open. Pitchers and catchers have reported. 11 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,160 Position players have reported. We got a lot to talk about because it's been a 12 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,240 second. What an amazing time to be alive. What an amazing time to be a 13 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,960 sports fan. March Madness is right around the corner, but most importantly, 14 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,200 baseball is here, which means summer's on the way. Camp's open. Spring is here. It's 15 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,560 still snowing where we are, but in sunny Florida and in sunny Arizona, it's 16 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,040 beautiful. Kenji, how are you doing? I'm great. I'm great. I've been hearing a lot 17 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,040 of things about Arizona, and I wish I was there, you know? I wish I was there 18 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:34,400 to witness these things that they talk about, especially with the Royals. Yes. 19 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:40,000 Kenji's famed Royals, who have had a very busy offseason. No, they haven't. 20 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,040 All right. I mean, we're a better team this year than we were last year. Yeah, I 21 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,800 would agree. I'd agree with that. We have a great bullpen. We have a top five bullpen. You know, we have a 22 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:58,800 lot of potential. Just missing a bunch of... Doesn't matter. That's what we're talking about. 23 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:04,840 This is a great training. Not a Royals pod today. Spring is great. 24 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,600 I wish we were there. Spring training. Yes, we wish we were there. I mean, I guess the first thing of 25 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,260 note, what was it? A couple days before spring training, or maybe actually when 26 00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:18,120 Pitchers and Catchers had reported, Alex Bregman to the Boston Red Sox on a 27 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,760 three-year, $120 million deal, opt-outs after each of the first two years. 28 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Really good deal if you're Boston, in my opinion. It's a lot of money to pay a 29 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,360 second baseman, which is where we're gonna touch on next. Kenji loves his Red 30 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,640 Sox players. He loves his Jaren Duran, loves his Tristan Casas. So I'm gonna let 31 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,120 Kenji divulge all his thoughts on this. Bregman to the Red Sox. They now 32 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,880 pair a perfect right-handed hitter at the top of the order with Duran, with 33 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,160 Devers, with Casas. They needed that desperately. They get their guy. Sad for 34 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,880 Detroit. Sad for the Cubs. Whoever else might have been in on him. Good for 35 00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,080 Bregman because he gets his bag. Kenji, talk to me first, I guess, how you feel 36 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,880 about this signing for Boston, and then what it means for, and then kind of tell 37 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,880 everybody what's going on with Devers and Casas. Well, I originally became a 38 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:15,560 fan of Boston two years ago when Yoshida signed there, and I would watch games 39 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:22,560 with him. And then Jaren Duran got called up, and he started getting a almost 40 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,280 everyday role, and I fell in love with him. And I had him on fantasy, and then 41 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,480 last year I was very high on him. Nobody else was even high on him. And what do 42 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,480 you know, he's a freaking hot star. Jaren Duran plays baseball the right way. And so 43 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,040 does all of the Red Sox. The Red Sox are a great team. It's so fun watching them, 44 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,800 I can't wait to watch them. Tanis Rakit. Tanis Rakit. What a beast. But yeah, 45 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,440 Bregman just signed there, and I think it's great. I don't know why more people 46 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,680 just don't do this. If you have money, just spend it. Who cares how much it is? 47 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Your team gets better. Don't put a price on it. Because what else are you going to 48 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,640 do with that? Let's say, you know, you didn't want to pay 10 extra million 49 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,800 dollars for Alex Bregman. What are you going to do with that 10 million dollars 50 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,200 the rest of the season? It's probably going to sit in your account, or it's 51 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,280 going to be useless when you're, when you could have maybe overpaid a little bit 52 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,920 to get a really good player in your system or in your team. So I think it's a 53 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,520 great move. It's, you have nothing to lose if you're Boston, except for maybe 54 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,840 Devers, you know, being crybaby about being the worst third baseman in the 55 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:31,640 league. But yeah, Bregman signs there. I love, he said, I'll play wherever. He 56 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,320 just wants to play ball, and he wants to win. And I think he knows personally that 57 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Boston was the best spot for him to succeed, because his bat's going to come 58 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,640 back to life. It's a great environment. He gets to be a vet amongst a bunch of 59 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,640 young players that really need veteran leadership. So I do think he'll play 60 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,520 second base, but I don't think he'll stay there the entire year, mainly because of 61 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,360 the young players that Boston has. I think it's Roman Anthony, right? That they 62 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,520 have projection playing second base. No, Anthony's the outfielder. They have 63 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,840 Christian Campbell as the infielder. Campbell, that's right. He's the 64 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,680 shortstop second baseman outfielder, right? I think he plays like three 65 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,720 positions. Yeah, I think they really want him to play, because he's earned it. I 66 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,040 don't know where they're gonna fit him. I mean, that's part of the problem, is that 67 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,360 Devers is mad because he doesn't want to move off third base. The Red Sox signed 68 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,280 Bregman, and I think Bregman's trying to repair his image from the cheating 69 00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:34,560 scumbag that he was in 2017 with Houston. Bregman's trying to repair his image, so he's 70 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,880 like, I'll play wherever I want. Totally fine, which is great, but the Red Sox are 71 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,200 paying him $40 million this year. You don't pay $40 million to a second 72 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,920 baseman unless he's like, I don't know, Craig Biggio? I mean, one of these, 73 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,440 Jackie Robinson? I mean, you pay $40 million for Jackie. I don't know if you 74 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,080 pay $40 million for most other guys. You'd pay $40 million to Patel Marte? I 75 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,040 wouldn't. No, I don't think I'd pay $40 million for him either. Who 76 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,760 makes $40 million right now? Not that many players. I mean, there's a reason 77 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Bregman took that deal is because it was easily the highest AAV. I know that 78 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,200 we're gonna touch, we're gonna refocus on the Devers in a second, but I know the 79 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,120 Cubs like had four years, 120, so then it comes out to 30 a year, but he went with 80 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,040 the Red Sox deal because it was 40 a year, and he has the opt-outs in. So I 81 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,080 know that the Tigers offered the largest sum of money. It was like six over 170. 82 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,880 Six or seven over 170, but regardless, he went for the big money this year, which 83 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,640 I mean, he has a right to do it. Good for him. But then you look at the Red Sox 84 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,680 infield, you have Devers at the hot corner, you have Trevor Story is short, 85 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,160 praying he's healthy this year, then you have Alex Bregman at second base and 86 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,520 Casas at first, and then they have this logjam of prospects, Christian Campbell, 87 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Marcelo Meyer, and Roman Anthony. Both Meyer and Campbell are middle infielders. 88 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,720 Meyer's a shortstop. Campbell can play middle infield or outfield. So then you're 89 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,400 looking at the roster, you're like, okay, Yoshida's taking up a lot of money. 90 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,680 His role is unknown and to be decided at this point. They interviewed 91 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440 Devers on the first day of camp or second day of camp, and he's like, I'm a 92 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,800 third baseman. I don't know what to tell you. I'm a third baseman. And then Casas 93 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,920 comes out today, and the reporters ask Casas, they're like, hey, you 94 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,120 know, what do you think about getting some of these other prospects up here 95 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,000 that have earned the right to be at the big league team? And Casas says, no, I 96 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,800 don't think they should be up here. We got big league guys and guys upstairs 97 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,720 that need to figure out what they're doing here. And so that's directly a shot 98 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,680 at the front office and this whole like nonsense situation of paying Bregman all 99 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,840 that money. You signed him, you're cool with him playing second base, let him 100 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,680 play second base. That's where I stand on the issue is Bregman is an 101 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,820 elite defensive third baseman, but you signed Devers at the extension, you know 102 00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:47,280 he's not great at third. But it's a different regime though. That's the big thing. 103 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,200 That's what Alex Corras said, is that there's a different regime that 104 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,200 signed you to that contract. So we owe you nothing, right? In the end, when 105 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,760 you sign the contract, you're saying, you have no right for anything. You 106 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,200 belong to that team and that team gets to use you because they're paying you 107 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,760 money. So like you only have so much say in the end, because if you don't 108 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,080 show up, you're gonna lose money, right? So you can play this, and if he was a 109 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,360 good third baseman, he'd have a better case, but he has been statistically the 110 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:23,280 worst, wow, listen, the worst third baseman in baseball since he 111 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,520 started playing baseball in the MLB. So you just don't really have a case, 112 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,960 besides the fact that you're a great hitter, and yes you're amongst, like you're 113 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:38,360 one of the faces of Boston right now. You're just not a good defender, and it's 114 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,720 pretty obvious, like if you're a bad defender, it doesn't matter how good of a 115 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,920 hitter you are, unless you're like a David Ortiz, which he's not, right? Maybe? 116 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,920 No, I'm not gonna say maybe, which he's not. So it's kind of hard, because yes 117 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,920 you feel for the guy, because he believes he's a third baseman, and he's 118 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,280 gotten better, but him getting better every year, they're saying he's getting 119 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,680 better every year, is still him being the worst third baseman in the league. So it's 120 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:08,040 just like, it doesn't matter if you're getting better, if you still suck at it, 121 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,080 you know? Yeah, and then I guess that's where I get it, that it was a different regime 122 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,800 that paid Devers the first time, but it's like dude, he's a superstar third 123 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,200 baseman. He bats third or fourth for you every game. Like he's an 124 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,360 amazing hitter. I just, I think, you don't, he's the cornerstone of your 125 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,240 franchise. Like you look at the Red Sox, who's the best player on the Red Sox? 126 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,760 You'd probably say Rafi Devers. Who's the best hitter on the Red Sox? Rafi Devers. 127 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,800 Who's the guy that people are gonna take first or second round fantasy this year? 128 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,760 Rafi Devers. Who's the cold killer? He's the face of the franchise. And so it's like, I 129 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,360 get it, maybe he's not the best defensive third baseman and Bregman is, it would be 130 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,000 a massive defensive upgrade, but it's like, you pay him that money, he's the face of 131 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,840 your team. Bregman was okay coming to play second base. Just leave it. Leave it as it 132 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,920 is. Devers story, Bregman cost us. Leave it. And like, and just everybody stays 133 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,520 happy because the last thing you need going into a season is turmoil in the 134 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,600 clubhouse. It's the last thing you need. It's a weird situation. It could have 135 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,400 definitely been handled better, but I don't, like, I don't think, I think it's 136 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,680 kind of petty if any Red Sox players are upset for them bringing in Bregman 137 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:21,280 because you guys haven't made the playoffs in so long. So I don't think any 138 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,640 of you have a right to complain about who they bring in because you're gonna 139 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,640 make the playoffs now with Bregman and Crochet coming in. Like there's no doubt 140 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,840 that team is competing. It's a good squad. It's a great squad, but you guys have no 141 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,800 veterans and to make a great team, you need vets and young guys. There's an insurmountable 142 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,960 amount of young players in that team and you need better veterans and Bregman is that. 143 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,880 Now, I know that like you weren't as big a baseball fan when the Astros 144 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,040 cheating scandal happened, but do you think that has any, carries any weight in 145 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:55,000 the clubhouse amongst players? I think so. I bet they know that he was the guy, like 146 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,040 he was one of the ringleaders that took advantage of that, that he won an 147 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,280 illegitimate World Series and that they weren't really punished for it. Do you 148 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,880 think that they're, the Red Sox, like homegrown guys are more gonna look at 149 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,360 him and be like, dude, like this is our place. Like you're gonna get in here 150 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,320 eventually. You're not gonna walk in here and take Devers spot. Like Devers been 151 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,040 here from the beginning. You cheated. Like cool, you've had a good career, but your 152 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:26,600 numbers have tapered off every year since then and I don't know. I don't think 153 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,400 it's that big of a deal. I think you're a petty player if you're getting 154 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,080 caught up with that. Like you're getting paid millions of dollars to 155 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,880 play a sport. I think you can chill out. I understand. It's not a good thing that he 156 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,360 did and there's no, there's never denying what they did is wrong, but I think it's 157 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,000 been long enough that I don't think every time he moved goes anywhere it has 158 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,880 to be attached to him. It's a new year. It's a new, he's on a new team. New 159 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,240 teammates. I'm sure half of these guys weren't even in high school when that 160 00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,360 happened. Yeah, I understand that. I just, I'm trying to like rationalize why 161 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,920 Casas would have said what he said. I mean it sounds like he probably, he's 162 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,600 probably called Bregman a cheater and that Bregman had been a Bregman hater 163 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,080 all of his life. I could assume so, right? That's kind of what it comes off as. He's 164 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,280 really snobby, but I don't know what right Casas has to act like that. I mean 165 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:24,240 like this guy, he won an MVP. Like besides the cheating, like he has been a, was 166 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,120 it that year? Did he win an MVP? I thought, I know how Tuve won an MVP. I 167 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,040 thought Bregman did win an MVP. He like won it over somebody else. Like no. 168 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:38,640 Alex Bregman dude? I thought he won like, yeah, like 41 home runs or something. No, 169 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:47,320 he finished runner-up an MVP in 2019. Who was it? Was he in 41 homers? Yeah. Yeah, 170 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:53,440 okay. Well 296. Yeah, so he won runner-up. Who was, won MVP in 2019? I don't 171 00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:02,280 remember. I don't know. What I'm saying is, like I think yes, I don't know for 172 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,880 example, like if you cheat like PEDs, everyone does PEDs. No one freaks, like 173 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,560 everyone makes fun of Tatis, but no one's like always a terrible person for what 174 00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:13,960 he did. Tatis cheated into, and he's never been the same ever since. There's a 175 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,320 bigger gap between Tatis doing PEDs, which is a personal cheating scandal. I 176 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,080 mean of course it's a different level, but cheating is cheating, right? It says 177 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,160 something about your character that you let it happen. Yeah. But I think people 178 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,000 are just petty because of those, the Astros, and I think people need to kind 179 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,840 of get over it because it's been long enough, and he's still a good player, and 180 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,560 he's gonna make your team better. I think, yeah, again I'm just trying to 181 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,680 rationalize why Kostas said what he said. I'm not gonna turn this into an Astros 182 00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:46,360 hate thing or anything. It's probably just a little petty about it. It did, that's what it felt like. It felt 183 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,240 like he was taking his job. And he's being there for his homie. Like, Devers is his guy, right? 184 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,560 Yeah, Devers has been there. And so I'm sure that Bregman gets the 185 00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:00,040 bag, and then he waltzes in there, and then all the talk is, oh, let's move 186 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:05,440 Devers off third, the guy who's been there from the start. And so then Kostas is 187 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,120 like, well, what the hell? Like, that's our boy. So I can understand where he's 188 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,200 coming from. I do think it was uncalled for. Kostas has not been greatest 189 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,840 thing on the field himself. Maybe he should try some steroids. But in the end, 190 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,960 like, I'll just say this, like, nobody should be upset at Devers or Bregman. 191 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,320 Like, Bregman's come in there and said exactly what you should say. Devers is 192 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,120 saying exactly what, honestly, anybody would really say. Because you think 193 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,360 you're the best player in the world, which even though statistically you're not, 194 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,760 that's their correct mentality to have. It's the 195 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:46,720 owners and the organization, they're at fault because they did not clarify and 196 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,880 make this a smooth transition when they could have been like, hey, like, hey, 197 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,280 Raffy, you know, we love you. We think you're the best player on our team. But 198 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,360 we're thinking of bringing Alex in because we think he's gonna help us and 199 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,600 get over that hump because we haven't made the playoffs in the last couple years. 200 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:06,280 And he's like, would you be open to playing DH for one or two years or, you 201 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,320 know, just moving? Like, would you be open to that? And if not, you know, maybe you 202 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,920 just say, well, you know, we are the owners. This is our team. You work for us. 203 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,320 We're gonna make this move. But at least he was at least made aware of it. But 204 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:25,160 this is just, even if he knew that Bregman was coming and he expected it, 205 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,880 because his agent should have been aware of this. I don't think he did. Yeah. 206 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:37,960 It's been mishandled. Yes, it has been mishandled from the top. Definitely. I agree with that. So we'll see how it kind of shakes out 207 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,680 throughout spring and into the season. As an Orioles fan, I love to see the Red 208 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,560 Sox Clubhouse maybe stirring a little bit because I do think they have a really 209 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,840 good squad this year. Yeah. So the Red Sox are gonna be good. Yankees are 210 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760 gonna be good. O's are gonna be good. We'll see what the Rays and Blue Jays do. 211 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,600 We'll get into the divisions as spring goes along here. But the other news, 212 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,400 another big free agent signing Pete Alonso goes back to the Mets. Kind of 213 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,560 what everybody thought was gonna happen with the first base market drying up. 214 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,640 Pete lost all of his leverage. Great for the Mets. I mean, they're A of an offseason 215 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,720 in terms of an A plus because now they have arguably the best top three trio in 216 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,240 the entire sport besides maybe the Dodgers. So I mean you have Lindor, Soto, 217 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,560 Pete. I mean that is, that's amazing. That's an incredible top three. You have 218 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480 to be stoked if you're a Mets fan. Any other insight we want to put on this 219 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,920 Kanj? I mean he goes back to the team that had him last year. It's great for the squad. 220 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,880 I think it's best case for him. Of course he didn't get the money that he was 221 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:42,840 expecting. But I don't know. I think he's sad about it but I think he's also happy. 222 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000 Because I don't think there's any pleasure in moving your entire family 223 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,080 across the country. Especially into your 30s when your kids obviously have, like 224 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,080 when you establish your community and your life there and later in your 30s 225 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,440 in the baseball career you get the move. Yeah. I just think a couple million 226 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,760 down to potentially actually contend for another World Series because I think 227 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,480 they will now. I think if he would have left I don't know whether the team was 228 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,800 interested in him. But I think the odds would have been a little bit less than 229 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,040 they would have been if he stayed on the Mets. So I think for him, yes money wise 230 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,160 it probably sucks. But I think legacy wise I think it's the best for him. 231 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,440 And he's still gonna have a great time hitting behind those two. Or whoever else 232 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,200 hits third. It's gonna be great. Yeah I think if you're looking at an 233 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,320 opportunity where you can even stat pad even more for your next free agency run 234 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,120 because he has opt-outs on his deal. Is it after one year? I think he has 235 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:42,920 opt-outs after one year, two years. I think it's similar to Bregman's structure. 236 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,200 Like that's kind of what the Scott Boris guys have done in recent years. 237 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,800 Just through the opt-outs. And I think it's good. I don't think there's gonna be a 238 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:58,280 better RBI opportunity that was a vacant RBI opportunity role than the one that 239 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,000 was in Queens with the Mets. Because you get to hit behind Lindor and Soto. 240 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,840 Soto is gonna get on base a ton. Lindor already is an amazing player as he is. 241 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,800 Vantos is gonna keep improving. Nimmo hopefully has to bounce back. 242 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,400 They got a lot of dudes in Queens. So I do think this takes them from 243 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,440 competing for the division to, okay now let's compete for the National League. 244 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:25,200 Because now I think the Dodgers have a better roster on paper. But you 245 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,400 get in a seven game series and the split 1-1 and you're headed back to 246 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,440 Queens. You don't feel that comfortable if you're a Dodger fan. Like you're like 247 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,960 this is... This is Diamondbacks. Yeah I agree. I think the Diamondbacks have a really good team. 248 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,160 Which would you take? Which one would you take? 249 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:46,880 The Mets did it last year. I'm gonna take the Mets. Okay. But the Diamondbacks, it's 250 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,920 like a coin flip. The Diamondbacks are a really, really good team. That's all I 251 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,600 have on Pete. Anything else from you kids? Not really. I mean good job by them. 252 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:03,240 They held their ground and the Mets won. Pete didn't win but Pete also 253 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,400 won. But in the end the Mets won. Yeah I mean Pete just had no leverage left. Once 254 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,480 the first base market dried up as it did. Once everybody had their first base. Yeah and his year just wasn't good. 255 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:19,040 He just had a really disappointing year from what he had the year before. He's 256 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,120 still great but just not what he's asking for. Yeah. Yep. Again and speaking of 257 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:29,360 first base market, Vlad Jr., Vladimir Grorov Jr. does not sign his extension by 258 00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:34,040 his Monday deadline. Which was as of two days ago when we were recording this. 259 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,240 He hasn't signed back with the Blue Jays. He says that he's gonna now wait until 260 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,800 the middle of the season. Or sorry not till the middle season. Till the end of the 261 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,320 season when he's an actual free agent and the other 29 teams will get to 262 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:51,680 negotiate with him. This is really interesting because you felt like 263 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,360 Blue Jays have been in on every big free agent. All of their like the Soto, Shohei, 264 00:19:56,360 --> 00:20:02,840 Roki and then they have a homegrown guy like in the middle of his prime. 265 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,320 He's gonna probably hit 315 this year minimum with 30 homers and they 266 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,320 don't give him what he wants. Vlad said they were not close on negotiations. The 267 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,840 GM for the Blue Jays said it depends on what your definition of close is. Which 268 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,040 probably means there's something with AAV and contract length or something 269 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:26,720 that's not right. But Vlad doesn't sign. There's a lot of intrigue about next 270 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,400 offseason or what even the Blue Jays could do before this season. Could they 271 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,520 trade him before the season starts? I'm gonna I'll leave all those questions and 272 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:41,360 toss it to you Kenj. It's a it's an interesting situation that they weren't 273 00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:46,840 able to give him what they wanted or what he wanted considering he is their 274 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:53,040 franchise. I would have just given him the money. I mean I know it's not that 275 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:58,480 easy but if you lose him like what do you have in Toronto? Genuinely you've 276 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,400 lost you're a joke right now. Like you are a doesn't matter that you're maybe 277 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,240 the third best team in your division. Even with Anthony Santander. Like you're 278 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:13,320 still a joke. Multiple players in the last couple years have used you to get 279 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,160 themselves more money right? You're just a side hoe is what it is. 280 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,800 If you're the Blue Jays and you can only be a side hoe for so long. A side 281 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,840 chick. I agree but this felt like an opportunity where the Blue Jays could 282 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,280 make themselves not the side chick anymore. Yeah the side chick. The main 283 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,600 the main piece the guy that people are fighting over comes to you and says hey 284 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:44,240 side piece like I want to be with you forever. Be my one piece. Yeah be the main 285 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,920 piece and the side piece goes hmm I don't really know if I can do with you 286 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,980 being gone this often. You know like I was like I don't know if I can do the 287 00:21:52,980 --> 00:21:56,360 laundry as much as you want me to. I don't know if I can spend this much 288 00:21:56,360 --> 00:22:00,720 money. Like that's essentially what the Blue Jays have said is like they had a 289 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,080 golden opportunity where the main piece comes to them and offers up his services 290 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,360 for years and years to come. You can stay in contention. You can sign more big 291 00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,040 free agents but now it's like everything's up in the air. 292 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,920 Santander was bound to sign with a team that wasn't gonna contend and it feels 293 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,280 like the Blue Jays are just kind of in limbo. Who knows what they're gonna do. I 294 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:27,080 don't know. You're gonna sign with Kansas City Anthony? But I think if the Blue Jays 295 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:34,960 so we'll kind of move on towards the season. So if the Blue Jays are let's say 296 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,480 you're behind you're the fourth best team in that division right? Let's say the 297 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,840 Yanks, Boston and Orioles are all in the top. They're contending for 298 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,120 playoffs. We know that's gonna happen. Blue Jays you're not gonna make the 299 00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:51,520 playoffs. You already know like your team struggling. Are you trading Vlad mid-season 300 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,720 or are you just gonna let him go? You have to. You have to. You have to right? I think 301 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,400 you come back to Vlad because listen if he goes to free agency the other teams 302 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,720 will bid up his price. He will only get further away from coming back to Toronto. 303 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,920 So I think if you're Toronto your only chance is either shop him around right 304 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,600 now. The problem with doing that is that the other teams know that you lost a lot 305 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,640 of leverage because you have no possibility of signing him during the 306 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,760 season anymore. So the other teams know well shoot we don't have to give up any 307 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:25,480 prospects if we just wait a year. But if like they wait till the trade deadline 308 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,760 then there's even less leverage because it's okay are we gonna what are we gonna 309 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,280 trade for six months of Vlad. So anything you want to ship him out now if you know 310 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,600 you're not gonna be able to sign him in the winter. So there's all these levers here. 311 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,560 A lot of teams give up a lot last offseason last trade deadline for one 312 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,120 year rentals. They did. I just don't know if you give that to a first baseman. I 313 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:46,600 don't know. I mean listen Vlad isn't probably the first baseman in the 314 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:54,760 sport right now. No disrespect. You're talking about potential? Yeah. I mean no disrespect in saying that but I just don't think for 315 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,280 six months people will give up a lot because I think I mean the main 316 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,240 contenders that I think would be in for his services next offseason you're 317 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,160 talking like Mets, Yankees, all the big players and the Yankees have their guy 318 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,920 for the year unless Goldie gets hurt. The Mets have their guy for the year unless 319 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,640 Pete gets hurt and I mean I don't know who else Texas I don't know what you 320 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,880 want to do like who's gonna sign Mets? You think Mets could afford him? 321 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,840 They actually asked was it Steve Cohen at camp and he was like I'll let my 322 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,320 baseball people handle that. Like imagine like Mets are close to the postseason 323 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,740 like they're doing really well. Yeah. And you have this golden opportunity to go 324 00:24:34,740 --> 00:24:40,320 get Vlad. Would you send Pete and I don't know Acuna and like your best 325 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,840 prospect over to get Vlad in there and be like Vlad will bring a trade for you. I think that's a lot. That's a huge price anyway. That's a big 326 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,600 price. I don't even think it would cost that much. You don't think it costs that much? 327 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,360 Maybe like Pete and Acuna. I don't know. I don't think so. Again I think that the 328 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:57,360 Blue Jays have lost so much leverage and I mean he came out to the media and 329 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:00,520 said how close are you guys on negotiations? Not close. I think he's 330 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,480 just saying that though. There's no way you're that actually far away from the 331 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,920 best player that has been on your team in a long time. I don't know man. This 332 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:15,520 feels like a miss by Toronto. Oh yeah they're screwed. Canada you suck. Yeah this 333 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,360 feels like a massive miss. A lot of L's going around in Canada recently you know. 334 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:23,240 Yeah yeah big hockey game tomorrow night. I guess tonight when you're listening to 335 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,920 this. We should watch it tomorrow or I'm gonna watch it at least. Good idea. Somewhere. 336 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:36,600 But yeah dire straits in Canada right now. This is a really bizarre situation. I 337 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,440 love when players set these deadlines. I think it's smart for them to set these 338 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,160 deadlines. I think the only option for Toronto is you have to make the call 339 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,640 trade him now or you give him one last big offer like maybe you up the price a 340 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:52,720 ton at like the all-star break or the trading deadline and you say hey we 341 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,080 thought about it we're really sorry this is what we want to do and give him what 342 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,600 he wants. Which he could still say no to but you give him that. Just get the president 343 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,640 involved you know just get the whole country involved. You got to do 344 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,640 something because he's the heart and soul of your team. You lose Vlad then the 345 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,240 whole place is kind of like you have an aging Santander. Bichette's gonna be 346 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:19,080 gone if you trade him out and then you got a bunch of old pitchers. So a really 347 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,920 interesting spot for Vlad and we're gonna talk more about the divisions as 348 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,640 we go on. But speaking of speaking of trades I guess I'm gonna ask you Ken as 349 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,640 we kind of tie this thing up who's the next player to get traded? We got a lot 350 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,200 of people that have been rumored left and right. I want to hear Nolan. Nolan 351 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:40,960 Aeronado? I think so. To where? I don't know because I mean the Cubs were kind of 352 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:47,000 rumored. Boston was kind of rumored and then they both signed guys. He has a full no trade clause. 353 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:54,360 That he can wave. I don't know if if Houston came back with an offer right now I 354 00:26:54,360 --> 00:27:01,560 feel like he would wave it and go back there. No. Well he already waved it once. Yeah but 355 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,680 he already exercised it once huh? Yeah I mean he but the Astros didn't look so 356 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,920 good back then and I mean I don't know if they look better now but I think 357 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,120 because St. Louis doesn't want him there it's pretty obvious they just want to 358 00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:19,680 restart and so there's no reason to be there. Yeah if we're talking about 359 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,360 losing leverage St. Louis has openly been trying to trade him since the 360 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:26,560 beginning. It's like they don't even care like they're like we don't want this guy 361 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,920 on our team pretty much. Which is fine because they need to restart but I don't 362 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,520 know I like to see him go to New York. I think the Yanks could still use him but 363 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,440 I doubt that's gonna happen because he's expensive unless they take off Strowman. DJ LeMayhew baby. 364 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:48,200 Oh my gosh Miguel Cabrera should not be the starters. DJ LeMayhew. I think New 365 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:54,040 York Yankees are the best fit for him. I just don't know who else. I mean I've 366 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,920 heard Dodgers but the Dodgers don't need him like there's was special with Kike 367 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,120 back there's no room. There's just no room. I mean they they sent out away 368 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:07,760 Gavin Lux because they believe in I'm guessing Kike and Kim are gonna be 369 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,680 their two second baseman this year. Yeah and they believe in them so I don't know 370 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,920 I think Nolan Arbinato is gonna be the guy though and probably Sandy Alcantara 371 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,960 or Contra however you say it. I think I would love to see him get traded. I would 372 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,600 love to see him get traded. He's for sure gonna get traded there's really there's 373 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,680 no reason. He's old, he's great and you can still get a lot of prospects for him 374 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:35,720 so they're definitely trading him. I have a question for you. Yeah. You talked about the best 375 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,800 trios in the league right? The Dodgers and the Mets. What are some other ones that 376 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:47,760 contend in there? I mean I think you go Boston in there now you go Durand, 377 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:54,960 Bregman, Devers. Yeah. That's really good. I'm gonna throw my O's in the ring. I was 378 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,800 gonna say I don't know if you can put your O's up there anymore. I'm gonna put the 379 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,360 O's in the ring. I'm gonna put Henderson, Rutchman. I don't know who's gonna hit 380 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,480 third. If it's O'Neil I like it. If it's a I mean they can put whoever they want 381 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,440 there and I still think Henderson and Rutchman are gonna take another step up. 382 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,080 I still think they're gonna be great. I don't like the Yankees top three. The Yankees 383 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,080 top three I could probably say is about the O's top three. We don't know who 384 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,680 their top three is. That's the problem. Yeah. 385 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:29,920 It's a good question. I mean Texas. I like Texas. Who's gonna hit lead off? 386 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,520 Langford, Seager, Simeon. Something like that. No it's Simeon, Seager I think. 387 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:40,640 Simeon, Seager, Langford. Like I really like that. San Diego of course. 388 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:47,680 Arise, Tatis, Machado. Dirty. That's what I would say. What about 389 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:54,200 White Sox? Name me their top three Gabe. Name me their top three right now. 390 00:29:54,200 --> 00:30:03,680 Andrew Benentendi is in there somewhere. Yeah Adam Tachman. Oh no. What about 391 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:13,840 trying to think Chicago? Seya, Tucker. Because who's leading off for Chicago now 392 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:19,960 you think? Niko right? Seya doesn't lead off. Seya's a power hitter. Seya's hitting third I think. 393 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:26,080 Okay I don't know. I have no idea. I think it's down to like Mets, Dodgers, Red 394 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,880 Sox. What about Kansas City? 395 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:35,480 If they had one more big bat I would like them but they don't. 396 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:41,440 Hey I heard MJ Melinda switched his swing this year. So did you know how many 397 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,280 people switch their swing in the offseason and do worse the next year or 398 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,640 something? This is a MJ Melinda's I think second time switching his swing so 399 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:55,440 I'm a lunatic Royals fan that I'm gonna believe in the difference and that 400 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,880 he's gonna he's gonna take us to the proms land. But yeah there really isn't 401 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,120 much any other team I don't think that's out there. I mean Phillies. Diamondbacks. 402 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,560 Diamondbacks. Who you going? Who's going to lead off? Carroll, Cattell, Naylor. 403 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,320 You think Naylor's hitting third? Oh clean up. Do they have a righty? 404 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,600 Gurriel? Who would hit third? I mean Eugenia. Probably Gurriel. I think Eugenia 405 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,800 would hit by five. Yeah I like the D-backs have a good lineup too. Yeah D-backs do. 406 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,840 But that's definitely good. Yeah how can I forget Philly? Sorber, Turner. 407 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:33,080 Sorber I heard Sorber is not gonna lead off this year. Really? Yeah that it's gonna be 408 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:40,960 Trey, Bryce and then no one else. I like that. I like that form. Good. Yeah Philly's I 409 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,980 can't believe I forgot about Philly. I would put Atlanta when Atlanta's 410 00:31:45,980 --> 00:31:54,320 healthy too. Oh Acuna, Albies and Riley and Olsen. Yeah. Profar, Ozuna. Oh my gosh. 411 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,600 We're stupid. We suck at this. What the heck? There's too many good teams in this 412 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,140 league. There's a lot of teams with a good one through three. If I'm gonna be 413 00:32:03,140 --> 00:32:07,440 biased for a second I think few lineups are as deep as the Orioles. But that's 414 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,720 why they're gonna be good. That's why they're gonna be good. 415 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,560 Whatever you say. Alright well spring training schedule really fast as we 416 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,200 wrap up the show. We have Dodgers Cubs the day you're listening to this. If you're 417 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,840 listening to this on Thursday the 20th there are games at Chirko throughout the 418 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,760 weekend. They're all during the day though so while you're at work or hanging 419 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,640 out over the weekend make sure you watch them during the day to take a little nap. 420 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,440 Watch the first couple of innings because that's when all the fun players will be 421 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,280 playing. I know that the first night game isn't until next weekend so not not 422 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,840 this coming weekend the following. So that's when you'll be able to watch 423 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,840 games in the primetime window but most of them take place during the day. But I 424 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,440 mean baseball's back. This is the last day the day we're recording this. The last 425 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,280 day without live baseball games until October and possibly even November. So 426 00:32:55,280 --> 00:33:01,240 enjoy it. The winter's been long and cold but baseball's back. Fantasy stuff coming 427 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,640 up. Brand new content coming up. Recaps coming up. A lot of fun stuff to come. 428 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:12,440 Baseball's here. Kenji send the people away. Well we're hoping to get this 429 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:17,920 schedule thing figured out but we'll be pumping out more content. We know you 430 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:25,880 love our voices. We know you want to hear from us. And we'll see you we'll see you 431 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:42,920 soon. We'll see you soon guys. We'll see you soon.
