🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

how’s it going everybody welcome to another winner meetings live stream I guess is this technically the final winner meetings watch live stream um technically or we could just pretend tomorrow let’s just pretend um we are going to have we are going to address a super chat right off the bat you guys want to get me going and and and and kill the Jonathan Jonathan knows how to do it Jonathan uh it came through before I hit go live so I will read it thank you for the donation my friend question who do you want to see the Angels get which player like for third base or outfield or for pitcher I I would say top of the list has to be a pitcher for the Angels Jonathan I believe that the ation needs some work a situation where um the current rotation is US Kikuchi at the top that doesn’t work for long-term success so usus Kikuchi needs to slide down a couple spots SO pitching has to be the primary focus could the Angels come out of nowhere off the top rope and RKO the rest of MLB and steel Corbin Burns I think it’s unlikely highly unlikely but uh I am uh I am interested to see if the angels can grab some more starting pitching that is a primary area of focus and your Outfield is in an interesting situation because according to according to Fang grabs they have Ward trout and Adele with um with solaric DH and I believe trout needs to DH to keep him on the field I I want to limit the opportunities for him to get hurt so I would like him to D but grabbing Solair soler’s got to go to a corner if that’s going to be the case and Solair has to move to a corner Outfield spot and you’re still looking for a center fielder unless you feel pretty good about Mickey mononc taking that spot every day so we’ll see what they do with Ward I would like to see them focus on pitching if they keep board that pretty much assures trout as the everyday center fielder bullpens got some nice pieces starting pitching man thank you for the donation kicking us off Jonathan I appreciate you all right let’s get this thing started the trade wins ruled Wednesday the biggest news was the Garrett crochet Trade four prospects to top 100 prospects it’s what you got to do to get Chris gets to bite and it is exactly what the Red Sox did and it got them an Ace and as I said when we went live we had about a 15minute window to go live and in that period of time one of my main talking points was that this is awesome for Boston but it can’t stop here they need more this needs to be a one we need a onew punch here this is the one we need the two maybe some of you believe that tedor H can be the two okay well then we need a 2B a one 2A 2B punch there needs to be something else and since that trade went down there has been more talk about Walker buer there has been uh and we’ll dig into this talk about a Seattle Trade that could be looming here here’s the deal it appears that Boston is striking out in the free agent Market again so if you’re not able to make hay on that side of the fence go impact a trade market and that’s what they did for Garrett crochet that is what they are likely going to be doing for Seattle which leads you to believe maybe Boston one of the one of the thought of final three teams or or top three teams for Corbin Burns is pivoting away and saying without saying it we’re out we’re out we’re bringing in Walker buer we’re talking to Seattle we’ve already brought in Garrett crochet so good job by Boston going out and getting their race controlling what they can control if Pro far an option if Chase don’t sign t or Tony Samuel yes he certainly would be he most definitely would be an option but I would think that the Blue Jays will try to land santon de and or t Oscar who vlat you were watching his Instagram page earlier today looks like vlat was hanging out with teoscar can can he maybe talk him into coming hey look here’s what we do here’s all Toronto needs to do this is all you got to do to make this a winning off season sign Corbin Burns extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr sign teoscar Hernandez and we’ll be good let’s go that’s a lot to ask for that’s a lot to ask for uh there’s something new Sebastian from Alex pavlovich uh let me take a look at that before I open it up and put it on screen let’s see what he is uh talking about I he’s a obviously uh connected to San Francisco uh or connected to the Giants is a good source man we are there it is Alex pavlovich covers the Giants for NBC Sports 50 an hour ago talking about will ad Damas you’re going to have to tell me what you’re seeing because the only thing I can look up here real quick real easy is his Twitter feed and I’m only seeing some Willie Adamas the number he’s going to wear thing I’ll keep an eye on the chat I’ll try to catch uh I’ll try to catch you if you if you have some nuggets that you can drop uh I do see Darius Glover with a tweet Yankees and cubs made a bit of progress on a Cody Bellinger trade as of Wednesday per John ha and the Yankees trying to make some ground on a Cody Bellinger trade what does that mean about a Kyle Tucker trade everybody The Dominoes and how they fall let’s let that sort of get us into some of the yeah Jim did some show prep uh let’s get that let’s get into the Kyle Tucker conversation Kyle Tucker will lead us up do you like how he went from the full everyone’s cut everyone’s full bright down to Tucker you like you like that every now and then every now and then so we have Kyle Tucker is going to be our lead story here because this whole Kyle Tucker thing over the last 24 to 48 hours that bowl got rolling and that ball got out of control to the point now where it is I mean are we all in agreement this is this is kind of expected at this point two days ago Monday when the winter meetings really got going when everyone’s together all the flights are in everyone got in on Sunday now we’re rocking and rolling if you had told me that Kyle Tucker by the end of the winter meetings would be a hot trade commodity I would have said well hold on a second let’s just think about this let’s think logically about this well logic can go to hell let’s just dive into one of the biggest names the guy who will be with him and vlat the two top free agents next off season what if you can get a Kyle Tucker done and you get that extension done I think the extension is going to be a tough task both Kyle Tucker and Vladimir Guerrero Jr are seeing what happened with Wan sto and just seeing how beneficial it is to be out in the open market and the latest on Kyle Tucker as it pertains to the Yankees from Jack Curry Jack Curry again we said it last night is one of our guiding lights through this off season of of craziness yesterday he shot down the Nolan ronado thing he shot down the Alex bregman thing brought us to some Christian Walker feelings that feelings those feelings things may be maybe cooling on the Christian Walker front but you know that can happen over you know 24-hour period according to Jack Curry he believes that the Yankees are going to try very hard to execute this and we had Joel Sherman earlier today in the New York Post talking about the Yankees being one of the most if not the most aggressive team for Kyle Tucker after a day before where it was sort of just presented that the Astros would listen and it has progressed to the point where sounds like trade talk is hot and heavy for Kyle Tucker so this is as far as the Yankees go and the Yankees if we get a deal I don’t have it saved here but I’m sure you’ve all heard it at this point one of the pieces the Astros want back would be Luis heel in the Joel Sherman piece in the New York Post he talked about how the uh the the the Astros would be looking for starting pitching and uh Corner infield right that that can help right now the New York Yankees obviously have a piece that the Astros are very interested in and that is Lis heel and that would be a great great get for Houston if they can pull that off because you have some more years with heel forber Valdez could be walking out the door after next year and you’re you’re talking about trying to extend the life of this competition this this window to compete and getting young players with years of control for players that are entering their final year is the way to do it we’ll see if the Yankees can pull this off if you start thinking about values here heel is a pitcher heel has multiple years of control yes Kyle Tucker is a incredible player is probably looking at a floor of $450 million in the free age at Market next year but as you try to pull off the trade don’t think that it would be heel for Tucker there would have to be more but from the Yankees perspective they probably wouldn’t want there to be more and do they want to deal Lis heel would they rather would they feel more comfortable if they were dealing Clark Schmidt or digging into the prospect tab of the trade folder and going for somebody like will Warren do the Astros have any interest in matching the value with three or four players or do they want this done with two players Max and if they do then they’re going to be looking for those significant pieces back from the New York Yankees but with the latest news from John Haymon from Darius Glover the Bellinger movement again this was for per John Heyman this was tweeted by Darius Glover band sent it to me Yankees and cubs made a bit of progress on a Bellinger trade on Wednesday is that an indication of how this is going you put it together how you feel comfortable when it comes to going to the next step we have the Cubs starting to feel like maybe they could maybe they could be the winners of a Kyle Tucker sweep Stakes let’s see here Darius clever this is another one uh Cubs asked the Yankees to take on nearly the full 52 million o to Bellinger which obviously wasn’t happening so that contract very likely could kill could absolutely kill a Cody Bellinger trade to anybody if the Yankees aren’t going to take it on I I don’t know who would Yankees have money to spend and they’re like no no don’t think so so Cody Binger might still be a cub he may be playing with Kyle Tucker again this is from this is a tweet from John Heyman the Astros want Luis heel in a package for Tucker and the discussion with the Cubs involves SE Suzuki and esak parades this according to Joel Sherman this according to Ken Rosenthal I’m curious about that now look they these guys know more than I do so we’ll we’ll roll with it but I’m curious if that gets it done look there was talk about Tristan and we’re going to talk about this there was talk about Tristan casus for Luis Castillo earlier today that has since been shot down which I maybe everybody didn’t see it coming but I saw that coming from a mile away that the values there don’t match up uh Luis Castillo Tristan Casa similar number of years of control but Tristan Casa is in arbitration Luis Castillo is owed $24 million uh Tristan Costas is the position player no Castillo is the pitcher and pitching carries a premium but when you’ve got the $24 million attached and Luis Castillo is only getting older and Tristan casses is still really young you you see how doesn’t really work uh Seattle would actually have to add to the trade to get Tristan casus um why did I even go down that road I want to stay focused on here we’ll get to the Louis Caso thing I just totally went down a road that I been meaning to like hold hold on and talk about in a minute so Suzuki and parades if we are looking at values again Suzuki’s got some money attached to him do the Astros want that money do they want to take that I mean Suzuki has been nice and Suzuki has has in my opinion um you know since he’s coming to the league he he he keeps getting a a better year in and year out is that but do they want to take that money on and ESO parades that’s pretty solid uh but ESO parades is uh when when you’re looking at values pretty damn close to what some could value Kyle Tucker at so are you able to work this deal out you send SE Suzuki and his contract and ESO parades for Kyle Tucker but we’re not getting uh we’re not getting the pitching that it was also reported by Joel Sherman that the Astros are looking for and if we are already with say Suzuki and isach parades we’re kind of getting to the point where the values are matching so the pitching that is going to be involved isn’t going to be significant and if it is significant it tips the scales too far to one side and specifically the Houston side and that shoots the deal down there is a way to do it there is most definitely a way to do it again it it really gets down to does Houston want to get this deal done match the values with two guys or do they want to match the value with three or four guys and are they determined for it to be corner infielder and pitching Chris get was determined to get position players only for Garrett crochet and that’s what he got from Boston that was reported a couple of weeks ago did a whole video on it where we ran through G crochet potential trades and we only use position players we were not allowed to use pitchers in that video because of the report that crochet one or the white sock only wanted position players so if you are determined that this is this is what we got to have then is what you got to have Tucker to the Cubs would be a huge get you just got to you got to watch what you give up because again I do not think a I do not think a extension can be counted on here can can you agree can you agree with the that uh let’s see Trevor I don’t think they’re going to deal seya the Cubs have those younger arms like Wix Assad Brown Etc to offer alongside parades and bat prospects so when we do that we might have to pull parades off the board and and and and pivot to a different infield option here because the values for parades if you add in any of the pitchers that you just mentioned this will never F junor since Angels wants mother hitter but remember to his dad used to play for Angel so we’ll see we’ll see what they do Trevor I mean again there is a way to dip into the the uh the farm system the top of the farm system and when I say top of the farm system farm system pieces that are that are close uh let me see what the what the what’s the Super Chat Jonathan thank you and also ever happened but what if Vlad Jr since the Angels want another hitter remember his dad used to play for the Angels connecting vlat to the angels uh it’s not going to happen I again I am a firm believer especially if the Blue Jays are trying to get Corbin burns the Blue Jays are not going to trade Vladimir Guerrero Jr vlat will most certainly I I’m 90% positive that Vladimir Guerrero Jr will go into the free agent Market that the Blue Jays will be unable to get an extension done between in spring training so the angels can be in on vlat next year and correct me if I’m wrong the Anthony randone atrocity I believe there will be one more year left of that Ry Marino can eat that he’s known and very comfortable giving out big dollar contracts it just has to have an appealing place to come and play and if the angels are starting to take the steps look guys we’ve kind of been over the last couple of years in a mode where there have been some teams that have been really crappy they’ve they’ve kind of been the laughing stock and that doesn’t last forever eventually that that that flip switches and things change and the Athletics are trying to change that the angels have been aggressive they are trying to change that so let’s see what happens the angels what they’re doing this off season a lot of the young Talent they have coming up if they make a splash to next off season the Angels could be very relevant again right now they’re they’re easy to poke fun at because of already Moreno and Angels I’m not trying to poke fun at your franchise I dislike your owner and I would think we could at least agree on that if we don’t then I don’t know where the common ground is at that point but I I I I could see the Angels going for vat next off season 100% with that with with that did I say ronado earlier why do I feel like I said ronado rendone with that randone contract coming off the books a year down the road you could very easily do that Vladimir Guerrero Jr contract no doubt about it um and if it’s going to be by if if the angels are going to go to $500 million and everybody else is at 4425 vlat would take that uh a 20% over what ever anybody else is willing to pay any you got to take it so we’ll see we’ll see let’s keep moving let’s keep moving we’ve we’ve talked about the Kyle Tucker stuff we we’ll keep an eye on the Kyle tuer things I do think that the Cubs are in the lead just got to find the right package and the Yankees if the Cubs can’t figure it out the Yankees could be right there especially if they are prepared to move Lis heel in a trade let’s keep going to some Corbin Burns talk because it felt for a little bit that we were going to have a Corbin Burns deal today and we still we still could Ken Rosenthal was on foul territory this morning going through talking about everything in his hotel room can’t even get him down in the lobby probably because he’s not he’s not uh he’s not supposed to be down in the lobby for file territory but uh but maybe he could be has he been down in the lobby I haven’t seen it I just see this this screenshot here he’s in his he’s in his hotel room anyway moving on from that the whole line of thought talking about how Corbin Burns it’s close and he could sign today and what drove this what really sort of pushed this in the favor of the Toronto Blue Jays was the Garrett crochet trade the fact that Garrett crochet the Boston Red Sox were linked to Burns it gives you the impression that they’re sort of out and there are also now uh there are some reports confirming and and you should all know this too but what I’ve been talking about that the Boston Red Sox are guny hesitant to Dole out long-term contracts to starting pitchers what the Yankees do for Max freed the Red Sox don’t what to do the Red Sox John Henry has been burned I’ve been saying this for weeks I think it’s sort of coming to light a little bit more strongly today but they have been burned by the Chris Sale contract and the David Price contract they have no interest in going down that road again and that is why you’re seeing this trade that is why you’re seeing them miss out on on on on uh Max freed Now Blake Snell did not sign an 8-year contract but I think Blake Snell probably wanted to go to the Dodgers at the end of the day so the Boston Red Sox pivoting to gett crochet kind of feels like okay Boston’s out and there’s been a lot of up and down when it comes to San Francisco about are they in are they out is it getting to be too much money are they going to look somewhere else are they H happy with what they’ve got depending on where you’re reading and what you’re reading and who it’s from um it’s all over the place what is going on with Corbin Burns right now but for a stretch of time today Blue Jays fans had a little bit of life and a whole lot of Hope because it felt like if the deals comeing today and Boston is now out because they traded for crochet and Mark fand is saying according to sources two teams expected to be most aggressive on burns or the Blue Jays and the Giants with Toronto considered the favorite coming from the fingertips of Mark fand through your computer through your screen and right in your face oh man here we go uh I I I I I applaud uh the Blue Jays YouTube channels that went live today to do a Corbin Burns watch you got to do it if you’re seeing this if the Red Sox make the move they make and Ken Rosenthal is saying that a deal could happen today you got to do the watch I could I would have been here for it I couldn’t I this day oh this day this day I’ll just say uh it was a good day it was a busy day let’s just put it that way so you had to do the watch Blue Jays today and that other one uh is it Jay’s Journal I’m blanking on the name of it we’re doing their live watches the the uh Nick and Adam were crushing it you had to be there because whether it goes down or even if it doesn’t go down if he if a deal is announced that he’s going somewhere else you got to be there for the reaction you got to be there for the buildup and it looked like maybe today could be the day and I guess today could still be the day it is is 9:58 p.m. deals can still happen but a lot of time has passed now since it felt like we were getting close and and and we don’t have anything going on will it be Toronto that’s that’s a Beau an amazing question is is Toronto uh a leverage piece in here is it legit I mean we’re talking about uh what does how does how does he put it he puts it as uh the Blue Jays are according to sources he doesn’t say if the sources are Executives or people familiar with the matter or he doesn’t really frame where the sources are coming from here um but for the Blue Jays to be considered the favorite for Corbin Burns is interesting now that would make that rotation that rotation next year and the year after the two more years you got with Gosman you got Corbin Burns Jose BOS has locked up for a while you’ve got uh Bowen Francis who has stepped up you have other pieces that could work into the equation it would be an amazing rotation again we would we would we would get to the point where the Blue Jays could be considered to have a rotation that can lead you deep into a playoff run but what they are missing is the ability to score runs and that’s what needs to be addressed I this I’ll be excited if we get Corbin Burns to the Toronto Blue Jays I will come on here and I will be the The Joy will be will be be beaming off of my face I will be a complete Blue Jays Homer for that live stream um it will be the complete opposite of the version of Jim that you saw after the trade yesterday where I was a little cranky um this would be great but there is still a major issue here and that is the ability to score runs and I would really love for them to go out there and it was brought up earlier profar profar could be an option if they don’t get tar they don’t get Anthony santand there there has to be a bat and maybe we get all the way down to where it’s a jack Peterson conversation something needs to happen they need to go out there and get at least one legitimate bat with the elephant in the room the Vladimir Guerrero Jr bashet entering into their walk years does that impact is corbman Burns if he’s got the blue jays and the Giants right in front of him the dollars are similar who’s he going to choose let’s take Boston out of it again Boston I don’t think they’re going to go to the they’re not going to go the years they they traded for crochet if we’re if if Corbin Burns has Toronto and San Francisco on the table in front of him where is he going I hate to say it but it feels like it would lean more towards San Francisco San Francisco we we kind of know more about their future with with Logan web uh Matt Chapman uh with a lot of young arbit early arbitration guys talented guys that are on the rise they have San Francisco a clearer picture about where they’re headed over the next three four five years than the Blue Jays do so if the dollars are the same I feel like what’s up elephant good to see you man I feel like you would pick San Francisco but hey uh maybe there’s a plan a plan in place Burns is privy to it I am not they sign Burns they extend vlat they sign tyar and off we go uh Boston strong strong with a tweet thank you for sending it to me banned Red Sox continue to be involved for bregman uh with the Yankees and Astros and saon der is looking for five years that is from John Haymon Boston strong is tweeting that John heyman’s all over the place right now so some of the stuff is going to come from other Twitter accounts where they are you hearing it on a local radio station or watching it on MLB Network and they’re going to put it out there uh so we appreciate uh we appreciate them for doing that but let’s see I do think the the Red Sox and bregman that could work I do think that could work I don’t think the Yankees stand a chance not not that they don’t stand a chance but I don’t think it I don’t think it works I don’t think it I don’t think it happens uh and then there’s the Astros so give me the Red Sox and Astros as the finalist for bregman there I just thought I think the Yankees are not it’s not a factor it is maybe being used as leverage I love that defense behind him though in Toronto bone good point very good point the best defense in the American League by team defense team defense Gold Glove two years running going for a third back to back to back team gold gloves yeah no no doubt about it and he would love to pitch uh to in front of that defense could have a a career year could have a career year with the Toronto Blue Jays I just I want to bat God that’s all that that’s my thing again San Francisco feels like they are ready to Snuff out and crash the blue jay party here that it just I I feel like it’s it’s almost inevitable but that’s me being angs what if Corbin wants the Angels cuz he’s wants to be on the west coast then the Angels should Pony up and pay him at some point let’s say Corbin Burns is going to get a seven or eighty year deal which I think is very likely right in that seven to eight year window the angels will find their way back into a competitive uh situation there’s a lot of good young talent that is that is rising through the ranks here uh Netto and shanell and ohappy are really good uh Taylor Ward Taylor Ward has just has been taking some steps and could have a monster year and if they hold on to him and they extend him and they make a big free agent Splash next year the Angels could be competitive sooner rather than later and if you’re Corbin Burns and you see that coming you sign a 78-year deal let’s go uh thank you for the super chats John Angels could do it all right Luis Castillo who here or who even was here a couple of weeks ago when I started talking about Luis Castillo as a potential trade Chip and who thought Jim was nuts um and again I want to give credit this is the Chad from the touching basis podcast he planted the seed in my head so I cannot take credit for it but I’ve been running around I heard it and I ran with it that’s where I got the idea from credit where credit is due Seattle fan because every I think everybody we we we had been hearing all of the rumors that the Mariners in their attempt to improve the bats would deal from their pitching stable and what we’re hearing more now is that the the Mariners don’t want to deal the pitching that they have under control the young pitching that they have under control they have Castillo under control but it is for a lot of money $24 million a year for the next three years and then there is a fourth year which I believe is a vesting option that could turn into a player option and if it doesn’t vest then it becomes a club option I have to take a look at it again but with Luis casti you can see it they they need Luis Castillo carries value could bring a bat back to help the team the problem was today we get some Luis Castillo rumors and some talk but it’s just it’s a Miss uh Adam Jude here uh Adam Jude and Ryan divish both Seattle guys reporting that the Mariners of Red Sox are in talks this was 5:32 EAS East Coast time so this was about 3 hours 3 hours after the gar crochet trade not before therefore maybe negating it no this is after Boston’s been persistent in his pursuit of one of Seattle starters and a Lis Castillo for Tristan Cass deal seemed to make sense for each side I believe there was talk was it a day or two ago it was casus for Miller or woo I hate to say it the value is not there in this scenario for casus to go one for one uh Miller and woo with the years of control uh and just how good they are it doesn’t balance the Red Sox would have to send more now in this scenario Castillo for casses because of the Castillo contract Seattle would have to send more so it doesn’t work uh there has to be uh there there has to be less headed to Seattle and quite frankly if you’re Boston I keep saying this I want Tristan casus if if I’m a Boston fan I don’t want to trade Tristan casus I want to keep him he has proven that he can not just hang at the Major League level but excel at the major league level I don’t want to trade that I now look I just traded four prospects two top 100 prospects but I got like six or seven top 100 prospects so I want to dip into the prospect pool here’s the problem Seattle doesn’t want a prospect that’s two or three years away so we got to find something that works here and one of the problems Seattle has is uh will I will or Bru seems like he’s gone uh masaki Yoshida seems like he’s gone but the problem is that the Seattle Mariners still have Mitch hanigar and Mitch hanigar is making a lot of money and as far as the rest of the Outfield goes that’s full too they they they signed the extension for Victor robbles you you got Julio and you’ve got Randy the outfield’s full so will I Oru carries a value of zero to the Seattle Mariners trying to find the trade partnership here is going to be a challenge because masaki Yoshida we’re not going to trade for masaki Yoshida in his contract so that he platoons with Mitch hanar and we we’re not in the kind of financial situation where we can just send Mitch hanar away uh and DFA him and and pay him even though he’s not here he there too much money we can’t do it got to hope that Mitch hanigar comes on back and you know is revitalized and has a bounce back year that’s what we need so this is difficult to work out I’ll say that uh but if Seattle look if you’re Seattle I think what you need to do is you just need to Pony up here send you understand what you’re doing send a prospect with Luis Castillo to Boston and get the deal done not saying you’re going to have to send a incredible maybe send some money that’s the thing if Seattle send some money now part of moving Luis Castillo and not the other guys is that you’re trying to get rid of the money but let’s say you you send I don’t know 25% of the remaining salary for Luis Castillo to Boston to get this deal done you add a midlevel prospect you’re a lot closer to getting deal done that’s how that’s how it happens Castillo for casses straight up one for one while it makes sense in the terms of we’re getting a top of the rotation arm and we’re getting a a top of the rotation arm for Boston and we’re getting a first baseman for Seattle the problem is the money the problem is the years the problem is one’s a pitcher one’s a position player the value we got to even this out and to even it out Seattle actually has to send something with Castillo uh Brian the Seattle is never sending money which could kill the deal think about it this way I believe it’s $24 million a year right what if you sent the equivalent of $5 million you got $19 million off your books a year with Lis Castillo just by sending 15 million bucks to Boston and it helps with your trade values it helps get you closer to the Finish Line you add a prospect in and I’m not talking about a top prospect you you you can you can get the deal done that way otherwise it’s kind of challenging to try to find I’ve done it it is it is challenging to try to find the trade here to get a ready win now position player for Luis Castillo it’s a it’s it’s it’s it’s actually kind of challenging as somebody that spends a lot of time considering trades proposing trades hypothesizing looking it up and moving it around it’s challenging you know a lot of the position players you can go and get they’re all division Rivals and and sometimes the timing doesn’t work up yeah you know if you’re if you’re trying to get uh some of these bats that are available they they want prospects back they don’t want Luis Castillo and teams that are trying to trade for Luis Castillo are probably in win now mode so they’re not really trying to give up any other win now everyday pieces and there are some scenarios where there’re is an opportunity like that but then you get to well does this fit does this work we know Philly will give up Alec B Philly doesn’t need Luis Castillo though we know Boston will give up Yoshida or reu but Seattle doesn’t need a Bru so it’s kind of complicated to pull this off uh let’s see the D the the DM thank you man report from Houston momentum is Shifting away away from the Asos resigning Alex bregman Boston continues to be engaged this is coming from this is coming from a guy who used to work for Bleacher Report he’s on Twitter as GG used to work for Bleacher Report so take that with a grain of salt take that with a grain of salt I can see Houston I mean there is a trade out there to be had to bring Alec bom over and if you’re doing that there are some pieces that you could send over the problem is they’re not really they’re not really upgrades and that’s what Philly is trying to do they’re trying to like upgrade and shake things up there’s a trade to be had there but it’s not it’s not really the the the impactful trade and I’m not saying Alec B Alec bow is not bregman I understand that I think Alec bom still has a lot of room to grow I’m I’m a Believer in Alec bow I’m not say but I’m not saying he’s Alex bregman level but I’m a Believer but when you think about third baseman that are available and Houston would be looking to replace bregman with you know a third baseman when you think about who’s available it kind of gets thin you got to ask people to to change positions because it gets real thin real quick um at this point what did we have the other night uh when it comes to the top third basem that are available unless I’m unless I’m blanking on anybody um GI orella is the top free agent third baseman after Alex bregman unless I’m forgetting somebody and if we’re thinking about the trade market the top third basement available is Alec B after that Brett batty so that’s the situation we’re in Nolan arado thank you but Nolan Al ronado the Houston Astros are not going to take on Nolan alado’s contract I for I I don’t even think about Nolan arado because I don’t think I don’t think Nolan ronado is going anywhere quite frankly Yan Manata I do I am aware of yan makata but I have Ella higher than makot when I’m thinking about top the top available Gio orella I think makata is after Gio orella what’s up Jesse hope you’re doing well so when it come after bregman you just think about third basem in general that are available that can be had really can be had it goes bregman then bom then shella Manata will put an asterisk with Nolan AR ronado but again I don’t think anyone’s taking that salary and the Cardinals are not going to go are not going to pay for him to go play somewhere else I mean hell we we can’t even get a now I know it’s different players and different scenarios and and we can’t get a Cody Bellinger deal done teams don’t want to take on contracts that are already bad so noan Aral is going to be a tough one I cannot see socks fan for life I cannot see gber Tores playing Third Base uh maybe hang Kim could play Third Base uh glaver Torres cannot he struggled at Short the the the quick reaction time at third base the arm strength the arm accuracy I would be very doubtful of gabber Torres being able to cover uh that third Bas spot I’m trying to think if there’s really anybody else insert Anthony Reno Tony couple years couple more years we can do an Anthony randone watch I did have another piece here it was uh Alex spear from the Boston Globe asked the source if there were legs to a deal involving Tristan casses for Luis Castillo the answer was straightforward no and the reason is the values don’t match up there’s a lot of money attached to Luis Castillo there are years there is control with the years but there’s a lot of money Tristan casus is still trishan Costas is still becoming the player he’s going to be and he’s already really good it would give Boston something they need it would give Seattle something they need but it’s lopsided it’s lops excited uh where do I see Jose canana signing unfortunately hockey kid I think we’re at a spot where it’s too far we are too far from his Market really materializing to have any good read on it I mean we’re still in a spot where out of the 30 teams like they could all use more pitching so um Jose canana is going to uh be somebody who signs win his Market when when it’s when it’s his turn Braves FS I’m concerned to get Saki Burns Alonzo uh real quick Brave SES concerned with the Braves not doing anything they’re doing things that you don’t see they’re talking it’s behind the scenes they’re just not right now they’re not coming out on top top three favorit to get Saki Burns Alonzo okay for saki I’ll say dodgers I’ll say Padres and I’ll say let’s switch to the east coast let’s grab an East Coast team Dodgers Padres how about the bets W if Alex bregman to Angels or Alec boom uh for burns I would say Blue Jays Giants and I’ll say angels somebody BR brought up Angels talking about it thinking about it more I’m selling myself on the Angels it’s a long shot I really think it’s just blue jays and Giants right now uh as for Pete Alonzo and it’s co thank you for the donation I would say do are we killing the Mets are we killing the chance there because of the sto deal I I and maybe they have eyes on a big first base free agent next year could Arizona do it if they if with Christian Walker leaves could Arizona Do It um if Seattle is able to trade Luis Castillo see that’s the thing about it Seattle could trade Luis Castillo four prospects and then go make a run at Pete Alonzo Yankees could do it but we haven’t heard much about that I think other pieces need to come off the board first so I will say a return to Queens I’ll say Seattle but the trade needs to happen they need to send Luis Castillo out and how about Washington let’s let let’s have it’s tough right now the a lot Alonzo’s Market’s kind of tough right now thank you for that donation and let’s see here I’m going check that DM in just a second uh what if Alex bregman to Angels or Alec bom uh bregman won’t go I cannot see him signing with a division rival I just can’t I know it can happen but I don’t see it Alec bone for the Angels not nothing’s gonna happen while renon is still there as far as Third Base goes I see the DM I it just bums me out uh Dan Bartles is a is an editor at the New York Post and and knows things he tweeted or he do you think Tander Scott thead is legit or smoke he tweeted uh John Haymon John Haymon reporting that uh and Dan B’s putting it out there that the Blue Jays had joined the Yankees at 760 but again at the end of the day the Mets went to 8:05 this is you’re hearing 765 in the news it’s 805 in five years the Mets will void the opt out and it will be 805 it’s 805 let’s not Le let’s not um pretend that’s not a thing and on top of it he gets the signing bonus so so in in the first year he’s getting over $100 million Toronto New York I don’t think New York had done that and and we don’t know um you know how how uh deep Toronto was going there uh let me see do I think ter Scot to La is legit or smoke I think it’s legit Diana and William thank you for the donation I think it’s legit let’s pull up let’s see what’s going on because I did mention earlier that um did I mention I did I did mention earlier Underdog MLB um has sort of established themselves as a pretty good aggregator of MLB news and I have to shift the size here so that we can all see what’s happening there we go they have become a pretty good aggregator of make a mistake with te by waiting for the Soo answer zip code at this point I don’t think we really know everything that’s going on with the LA thing and was La was it LA or was it teoscar I mean while they’re talking to teoscar they go and get the Michael conforto deal done um I don’t I I don’t know it’s it’s it’s fascinating that two sides that both wanted a reunion have unable to been unable to work it out and earlier today the GM was being interviewed and they were talking they asked Point Blank if tasar could return the question was Sid stepped and answered in a fashion where he just he just gave some some praise for teoscar Hernandez did not answer the question uh and and and sort of finished up the answer to the question saying that they were happy that they got Michael being Michael Cordo um the the tone of the answer to me was my perception of it was sort of thumbing the nose thumbing thumbing their nose at tasar Hernandez as if it was a so almost you want to read in between the lines the Dodgers may be a little frustrated that they that tasar has said what he said in the public space that he wants to be back but then when they try to work out a deal teoscar was not playing ball I guess is the best way to put it that’s but to to to Pivot and move on to Michael conforto is is look forto had a fine year last year nowhere near what tasar Hernandez did and to go and grab conforto is almost a message to teoscar and I mean I guess the writings on the wall it’s true the the message to teoscar is that we don’t need you and that’s probably as disappointing as it sounds it’s it’s it’s it’s true uh so I think the front office is probably annoyed with t Oscar Hernandez that was that was the read that I got and I was I was annoyed by it I made a comment on Twitter and I think some people took it the wrong way thought I was trying I was I was I was just um I was trying to and I guess in a sense I was but not in the manner they thought I was I was from a Dodgers Fan’s side trying to throw shade at the front office not uh just a a a a outside hater trying to bust on the Dodgers I would have liked to see tar Hernandez back with the Dodgers um let’s see so Underdog fantasy like I said they’ve been putting a lot of stuff out they’ve been aggregating a lot of things here let’s just go through some of what they’ve been doing Underdog fantasy used to be a sponsor on the channel hey guys come on back so Red Sox owner John Henry reluctant to give out long-term deals to pitchers that is from Ken Rosenthal we talked about that earlier Jonathan liso with a one-year deal to go back to the Yankees the Red Sox working to acquire one of the Mariners starting pitchers again based on what Seattle needs and what Boston needs the framework lives around Luis Castillo for Tristan cases but you have to if you’re Seattle you have to actually include something else you have to include money or at least a little bit of money in a prospect you if you want to get a bat like casus who would be a great addition to that team and you move on from bear is a f to the mats Tay to the Yanks polar bear as an F to the Mets I’m not sure what you mean Raven what what wait you’re saying tasar Hernandez to the Yankees and polar bear oh both of them both T Oscar Hernandez and Pete as an F to the Mets you know I mean it’s fun to talk about that and build that narrative but I don’t think Brian Cashman is going to purposefully sign Pete Alonzo to a North of100 million contract just to say F the Mets maybe George steinbrener would do that but Cashman and Hal I don’t think so so Red Sox working to acquire one of the mar started pitching there you go now look if here’s the thing if you’re the Mariners again we talked about this earlier the fit is difficult you’re not going to be able to find trade partners for a trade like this don’t grow on trees they again as somebody who’s who who’s gone through all 30 teams looks at all the different scenarios and situations and stages they’re in and Prospects and ready now players and all that it’s there there’s there’s not a lot of teams there’s only a couple if Boston decides to move on because there’s a team down in Miami with a starting pitcher that they’re interested in dealing and Miami will be happy taking nothing but prospects Seattle’s got to be careful that they don’t screw this up because tomorrow you could hear an announcement that Boston is traded for Jesus Lardo for three prospects and Seattle’s going to be like oh crap because the Miami will happily take the prospects Miami’s in a different mode than Seattle Seattle’s trying to win now Seattle’s trying to get a bat in return and they probably um view Luis Castillo’s value higher than it is you just you’re never going to do Castillo for Casa straight up it doesn’t work so move on it depoto Jerry you’re not the only guy with starting pitching available in the trade market there are a lot of teams that could we talk about teams that could that that that Seattle matches up with here there’s more teams that could match up on a casus trade yeah so come on now let’s let’s be smart let’s see GM Chris gets white sock still have a presentation for RI Zaki yeah everybody’s everybody’s hoping for Roki yeah we got the trade summary this is earlier not much happening since any of that let’s see anybody that we are watching what is this in the Corbin bur who’s Jeff young Jeff young is a fighted site expert for the Giants at Round the fog horn okay so we have Jeff young in the Corbin Burns sweep Stakes it certainly feels like the Giants have the geography Advantage which they do uh Corbin Burn’s a West Coast guy they have included a no trade clause for Chapman and adamus that would probably be a popular lever in the contract talks with Burns at the end of the day Burns is a Scott Boris client and will likely pursue top dollar if Burns wants to be with the Giant that it’ll be up to bores to Leverage The Market accordingly the Blue Jays do look motivated to add a big time player in free agency uh wow he keeps going they have missed out on free agents in recent off Seasons much in the same way the Giants have I do wonder if it makes sense to add to a blue jay’s rotation that is already a pretty costly unit Jeff is correct again if Toronto were able to just sign guys without any reluctance I would think you would spend this money on on bats but the focus is on burns Mark what’s going on man is there any hope for the Braves to make a move doesn’t look good in my opinion AA is doing things behind the scene just isn’t just isn’t getting it across the Finish Line to sort of win the day and get uh all of the get get you know get all the accolades and get the get the front page trying to I’m just want to make sure I didn’t miss on any super chats I don’t see anything I think we got to all good we are good on super chats right now perfect can you imagine if the Dodgers get Burns wow what a pitching staff oh it would be I mean there was there there was some talk that talk seems to have cooled down I think similar to Juan stto the Dodgers probably had a a price range and once it once it passed that dollar figure they probably felt like okay we’re good we don’t we don’t need to do this uh we we are going to operate in our comfort zone we’re not going to leave that for Juan SoDo for Corbin Burns and if they’re saying that about Juan SoDo remember Dodgers aren’t going to chase Juan stto again back to the teoscar Hernandez thing what does does that mean about their approach with tasar Hernandez probably the same thing uh someone’s asking us see if we can check MLB trade rumors let’s do that I have that here let’s see what we got going on Mariners seeking right-handed wait Mariners are seeking a right-handed veteran first basem H Mariners have been linked to Cody Bellinger Alec bone Nico Herer uh today Tristan casus the one a right-handed first baseman well Alec bone because of his size has so a lot of people felt like eventually he was going to have to move off of Third Base does Alec bone become your first baseman or can you get Carlos Santana back I don’t think Carlos San is going to cost a a a uh deal preventive amount of money I would feel like Carlos Sana would be a very interesting Edition for Seattle and there’s Carlos Santana right there uh don’t don’t bother with Justin Turner oh man Seattle fans if you get Justin Turner is it is it Riot time literally if if Seattle is like all right we’re gonna we’re gonna hitch our wagon to Justin Turner for a full year um maybe there are some Seattle fans that would be happy about that but based on where the sort of bar is being placed I think that would be very disappointing that’s what’s going on with Seattle uh Christian Walker would be a very good fit but the dollars are going to be too much uh Ryan divis suggests the Mariners have approximately 15 million to 17 million left to spend this winter so there’s not enough money for Walker there’s not enough money for pazo this is why again depoto don’t screw this up think about it guys think about this if you’re Seattle you could trade Luis Castillo and send what’s that 24 million trade Luis Castillo include a mid-level prospect and also throw in uh $4 million a year $12 million total for the three guaranteed remaining years for Luis Castillo uh to get that money off the books that would clear $2 million off the books 20 million so if you have 15 to 17 million to play with now all of a sudden even though you’re eating some of that uh Castillo contract you still have now 35 to 37 million to play with and Tristan casus is still in pre-arbitration so he’s cheap incredibly cheap if he’s the return piece that gives you the money to go out and do something else I just feel like there’s something to be done there let’s see we’ll see if they do any of it uh let’s see Mets willing to pay down the salary to facilitate Starling Marte trade I started to think about this last year the trade deadline Starling marte’s kind of getting in the way and he didn’t have a lot of time left so it’s at the point now where the Mets could certainly if you’re looking for a veteran a veteran bat a leader in the clubhouse star Marte could be be nice Raven po yeah that would that would that plays go make a trade with San Diego San Diego’s probably San Diego would love to get rid of that that salary at this point San Diego’s sorry uh I like Luis arise I think there’s probably a lot of San Diego Padre fans that like Luis arise but their teams chances to win do not hinge on Lis arise being there or not and if you can trade Lis arise to the Yankees for I don’t know could could you do Luis R for Nester Cortez we got we got to give some thought to that but if you traded Lisa rise for Nester Cortez uh the reason why we’re doing that is I believe so Lis arise is going to be a lot of money and there’s one more year left I believe nestar Cortez has two more years I could be blanking on that um but look at the projected salary for Louis arise you guys can’t see it it’s cut off uh oh no well every actually everything’s all screwed up right now uh the Louis arise contract is right here 14.6 million is the projected salary for Louis arise and again if you can deal Luis arise get that get that 14 million bucks back in your pocket if you trade Luis arise and you bring back a pitcher and then you have money to go spend on maybe I don’t know bringing jerks and profar back or bringing another piece to this pitching equation into the fold guys it’s right there right there uh thank you for the Super Chat uh Raven thank you for the Super Chat that that that would be good now the Yankees it it again it sounded like they were there were some cooling on the Christian Walker momentum uh that could easily heat back up tomorrow but uh you know me on the whole Yankees infield thing uh or the Yankees team landscape at this point and if you haven’t heard me I am for a Christian Walker signing and Hong Kim signing and a Geo orelis signing move jazz Chisum back into the Outfield you will have one of the best defensive infields in all of baseball now maybe that would be an overreaction to the fifth inning of the World Series and just in general The Scouting that the Dodgers had on you and then it came to light which was rather embarrassing you you need to make some improvements and that would be one hell of an improvement and again Jazz’s versatility to to be able to move back out into the Outfield judge can go to right Jazz can go to Center jazz jazz gonna catch that ball Aaron judge is most of the time going to catch that ball too but um and Jason Dominguez is in left field and sandrew DH there’s your team now I’m making it sound really easy you got a lot of free agent negotiations and other teams you got to beat out to to make that happen but the the path is there for the Yankees all right um look at this we’re still stuck on Nick sandin from the other day oh don’t no I don’t want to do it not going down that road uh let’s see so we got that are we really Jazz looked cooked at the end uh van daminator he it it did not look good but Jazz does that jazz goes into those stretches where he doesn’t look that good and he’s not a third baseman that is something that we all I think realize is that he can play Third but he’s not a third baseman you can have him play Third in a pinch you could have him play Third for a week in August but you don’t want him playing third in October you don’t want him playing third all year that’s what we learned what else is going on the reds are showing interest in Peta why is this not oh this is going screw everything up though uh Reds are showing interest in pavetta I would steer clear that actually if I’m the Reds that’s not the move I would make they were linked to Garrett crochet I would not pivot and go to Nick pavetta I know there’s some good metric data on Peta if I’m the Reds I wouldn’t do it I’m if if you put me in the shoes of another team I would I would probably be singing a different tune but for the Reds I would stay away I mean here’s exactly why Nick Martinez Brady singer hunter green Nick ldo you got rhet louder you got Andrew abbit why would you spend your capital on Nick pavetta you going to what move Nick Martinez to the bullpen not after you gave him the qualifying offer you’re not so you it’s just that doesn’t make any sense we had uh the Red Sox and the Yankees pulling off their annual trade with with each other that’s good to see that they’re uh keeping that up we’ll see if they make it three years in a row next year we have Leisa Nationals interested in glaber Torres as third base again I somebody brought it up earlier glaber Torres as Third Base I don’t like it I wouldn’t do it I also if I’m the Nats I’m probably staying away from glaver Tes let’s see something real quick if we can pull this up real easy I am really interested to see what Gaber Torres does when he is no longer using his home ballpark to his Advantage look at that Oppo rate 33% Oppo there’s a reason for that that adjusted home runs by park for glaver Torres loto Health has been a question what trade from pitching depth for outfielder Sean that tracks that makes sense does that mean you got to go and get um Nick pavetta though and give up the draft pick uh give up the compensation and I I don’t know I you’re right about Lolo’s health I I I had to eat that in a fantasy baseball league but I um I don’t know I still think is from a Red’s perspective I I would I would there there are options that don’t have a qualifying offer attached there are options that could probably cost less I would I think I would go that route all right uh let’s see thank you for the donation and I and I like what you’re I like what Sean it’s a that’s a good idea that’s a good thought here is his expected home run rate engage sander I wouldn’t rule out the Dodgers for sandir but when you just when you think about their situation it’s it’s not um it’s not a strong area of need I mean look Michael con forto is sort of a a c C+ um they’ve got as far as the Outfield goes with sond I mean it’s only a 5-year deal so it’s not like you’re going to worry about him completely deteriorating in the Outfield remember DH is otanis for the next uh for the next decade so I just I feel like the Dodgers probably look at the situation and feel like they don’t need Anthony santon there I think the only reason why you’ve been hearing all the Tay Oscar stuff is that it is it was was a great fit otherwise if teoscar had had a great year with Detroit last year and was a free agent I don’t think the Dodgers would be pursuing teoscar Hernandez this off season paying full market value they got teoscar Hernandez on a deal if Anthony sandir finds himself where his Market collapses and there’s a deal to be had then I think the Dodgers would get on get in on Anthony santand there but straight up to play to pay market value I don’t I don’t see him doing it so last year we had the ballpark rate was down to the Home Run rate so the power of the slug would be down slightly in Washington not to the same degree that it would be if he went to Detroit or Kansas City or God Baltimore he would be completely Zapped of his power in Baltimore that ball would be dinging off of the the the right field scoreboard you never hit a home run at Camden Yards so we’ll see Washington Third Base seems like a stretch uh let’s see here let’s go back to MLB trade rumors um somebody wants me to check we were looking at it last last night how is it gone um MLB Marathon I don’t know who he’s got uh but he is saying that acquiring Cody bager for the Yankees is more realistic than Kyle Tucker but we also heard that the Yankees were told that they would have to take on the Cody Bellinger contract and the Yankees said no so I don’t know are we going to are we are we circling the drain on this thing or is all of the Yankee trade talk in the next 24 hours going to completely fizzle out they don’t again I have given you what I believe would be a great off season for them so look if you go get Kyle Tucker even better uh if you go get Cody Bellinger okay fine but Christian Walker Hassan Kim Gio orella Jaz Chism moves to center field and I know GI orella is not an exciting attractive piece can you get a trade for Alec B if you can do that do that juicy Messiah says the Yankees are in panic mode they’re in pivot mode uh we gotta be careful don’t poke the bear um it it may be fun but the Yankees are going to reload and they are going to be a a pain in the ass next year you think about the American League East right now who’s the favorite it’s not Toronto It’s Not Baltimore unless Baltimore adds pitching um and it sounds like Baltimore is getting kind of sketchy with their with with their pitch the pursuit of pitching um Tampa no I I can’t confidently say it it’s going to be the Yankees I’ll get to my point the favorites in the American League East are going to be the Yankees especially with that rotation watch what they do from a lineup perspective look if they’re having trouble getting free agents to come over if they’re experiencing what Boston was experiencing with pitching and and the free agent Market not able to find the right deal then the Yankees can go out and be extremely aggressive in the trademarket maret Drew Mike francessa called the freed signing the worst pitcher contract ever that’s funny yeah what if free deals with all sorts of injury trouble I don’t want that to happen but what if that happens that would be that that would be horrible horrible for everybody involved but if you uh appreciate some Yankee hatred you’ll be all over that and of course you will I I you know it it’ll look really bad now they have a philosophy and the philosophy is getting the aav down they don’t want to like the Mets philosophy is high aav shortterm deals short short in in in terms of years with the high dollar amount when it comes to pitching uh the Yankees want to spread it out they want to try to keep the a AV down so it’s two different philosophies that work here almost 11 o’ in the East and from a perspective of deals we are we are getting shut down guys it’s say some saying we are getting shut down I want deals I want deals uh Willard you find it ironic and surreal that Cashman talk [ __ ] about the Astros at the World Series but now he wants Tucker yeah I mean c talker’s amazing juicy I don’t think you you wouldn’t have to give up that much juicy is talking about a potential Kyle Kyle Tucker trade that is not you wouldn’t have to give up that much Mike you want me to predict Burns of San Francisco I have that is my prediction my prediction I did my free agent predictions back at the end of October I I when I do my free agent predictions initially I do a top 10 Burns was obviously in that top 10 and I picked Burns to go to the Giants uh Mike you want you want Yas in Boston uh wait a here well the problem is there’s there’s enough Lefty bat to last there there’s enough uh Lefty bats as it is so unfortunately the whole Mike yky playing in Boston thing you’re going to it’s going to have to be a trade it would have to be a trade at the deadline because they need a lefty bat because maybe they’re dealing with some injuries um check uh okay hold on the second to last fineand and hymon share the latest on burns it’s from MLB Network how long is that that’s pretty short let’s run that let’s run that we can go over to MLB Network with my new setup guys I’m going to get really good typing with my left hand over here because that’s what I got to do keyboards over keyboard’s over here now with the new mic and I don’t want to completely disappear from the screen Ah that’s not it here all right we’re going to run this it’s a minute long but I think it’s worth uh worth a listen let me make sure we got the audio here here we go this is uh this is fand and Haymon will react to it the latest song Corbin Burns saw a moment ago Nate ev’s contract was not the biggest one but that may have the most enduring impact because what it means for the starting pitching Market names like manah buer flare and how about Corbin Burns Mark where might he go Corbin Burns is very interesting I think the free deal sort of set his Market where you’re now looking at probably more than $245 million uh for Corbin Burns think about that Steven St deal I think you’re looking a little north of that um I think Toronto is in it for sure San Francisco is still in it I thought Boston was going to be in it the crochet deal might take them out of that they may not feel the urgency to spend that kind of money Toronto to me seems like a team they’ve got money burning a hole in their pocket they wanted to give $700 million to woto last year they wanted to give it to Otani uh they have to get a big win uh I think there’s other guys there on as well but Toronto to me seems like a team that might be motivated to try to get Corbin Burns yeah I mean I think you got the exact Two Front Runners I I’ve heard there were five teams still in on burns uh and I I certainly believe that is’s an ace pitcher outstanding I agree with you above freed even as good as freed is with a 140 ra plus eighth best all time Burns is just so durable and you don’t see durable Aces out there on the market so I mean he’s going to do better how much better I’m not sure but I think you got the right two teams Toronto and San Francisco those are two teams that have had trouble luring Stars keep in mind he is a Californian you know Buster POS he did meet with Scott Boris last night it’s a sign does it mean he’s going there for sure not definitely but it’s a sign so Toronto Blue Jays I I just I don’t know I’m skeptical that they would that that they would drop that kind of money on a player not named Otani and a player not named Soo I know Burns is awesome and pitches like Burns don’t always come available but I’m skeptical that they would spend that money because if they spent that money they are committing themselves to salary cap penalties and all that I don’t know I’d love to be wrong I would love for them to reallocate the sto dollars and go bring Corbin burns on board and sign T Oscar Hernandez sign me up for it I would love those two live streams but now the Blue Jays on top of all the other Financial Obligations they have taken on Andres jimenez’s contract which I think was a mistake uh I don’t I don’t see the reason to do that okay great he’s he’s he’s very good defensively you know there are a lot of people talking about Andre Jimenez as a leadoff hitter he’s not a lead off hitter um in Cleveland’s lineup last year uh he hit second a lot second the most but outside of hitting second uh he also hit sixth a lot and uh then then kind of sprinkled around throughout the rest of the lineup and as the number two hitter as his most in the in the lineup uh position batted he scored like 64 runs and that’s with Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor hitting behind you said five teams are involved who Could That Be So he he doesn’t get on base and that so you can’t have him as a lead off you can’t have at the top of the lineup so he’s a bottom of the lineup Guy They’ll probably put him at the top of the lineup trying so hard to lock up something outside when they haven’t locked up their own it doesn’t make sense even said if valdi is locked up I’m in why would any go there with such an uncertain future so I I and and uh Mike you’re echoing or miles you’re echoing words I I have been saying now for a couple of weeks uh first Manet Heyman said five teams involved who could it be well he maybe eluding Boston still so if you have Toronto you have San Francisco you have Boston then you’re looking for two more I mean it Dodgers maybe um because we heard Dodgers earlier ah I mean you could go any number of directions for the fifth and final team really could anybody that’s looking for pitching anybody that is in win now mode may maybe the Mets maybe he because what’s interesting is that he did not say who the teams were and I think the reason why he didn’t say who the teams were is because he probably didn’t want to start a firestorm because again it’s probably like the Dodgers and the Mets are two of the other teams and that would that would send the baseball uh Universe over Edge uh but miles you’re right I mean the dollars that they have been willing to allocate to Otani the dollars they have been willing to allocate to stto Vladimir Guerrero Jr has to be standing there thinking what the hell man what about me and when he is in free agency next year they’re going to have to dip into that fund that they were dipping into for the Otani and the sto dollars just to bring vlat back I’m with you I think it’s a it’s trouble and it also it’s got to be a hindrance uh or it’s got it’s definitely a negative on any of their selling points to these free agents that we’re talking about for long-term deals it’s a problem it’s a problem right why would Tay Oscar Hernandez come here if after next year vlat is gone and likely would be gone do you think that Toronto Blue Jays guys think about this think about this do you think the Toronto Blue Jays are going to outbid the New York Mets next off season for Vladimir Guerrero Jr yes or no those of you that are live we have 1,700 people in here live yes or no do you believe that this Toronto Blue Jay’s front office will be able to outbid Steve Cohen and the Mets for Vladimir Guerrero Jr next year yes or no bone you are optimistic about it Morgan you are hopeful as well I don’t see it they just lost one stto sweep Stakes um they they have just I don’t know they just they don’t close they don’t close and Mark shyro has kind of dug himself a hole not willing publicly publicly stating that he’s now willing to call Vladimir Guerrero Jr a generational player uh JT you believe that he could uh Joshua believes that he could I don’t think they can there’s a bunch there’s more yeses than I thought here look hey uh it’s it’s mostly NOS but there are enough yeses AJ you believe yes I would be shocked if these guys now does Rogers have the money to do it yes but remember what we just saw we saw Vladimir or not Juan stto get an $800 million contract I know right now it’s $765 but in a couple of years it’s going to become 8805 when the Mets void the opt out add $4 million more for the next 10 years and take it to 805 that is why that deal that and I’m pretty sure the sign you got a signing bonus that gives them over $100 million this in this first 12 months you’ve got the uh $85 million element I’m pretty sure that is that is where the Gap really widened anybody that’s looking at the Yankees at 760 and the Blue Jays at 760 uh and the and the Mets at 765 you’re like well hey wait a minute it’s more than that it’s the ability to go to 805 it’s the 75 up front on top of the first year that’s that’s why um so do you think that the Blue Jays are going if if they get into a bidding war with Steve Cohen do you think they can win that I don’t it’s a different agent so it’s not going to be Scott Boris that represents Vladimir Guerrero Jr so so that’ll be a little bit different but how I I look and this isn’t even about it being my team and one of my guys I don’t believe if if Steve Cohen wants a player I don’t believe he be outbid by anybody so Vladimir Guerrero Jr is just going to get in the way of that next year he’s going to be the next guy up because the the Mets won’t be hard up for Kyle Tucker because they just got Juan stto they’ll be looking for a first baseman especially if Pete Alonzo walks and goes somewhere else they’ll be looking for a first baseman maybe Marc Vientos plays first base this year um or they do something the Carlos Santana or Paul gmid or somebody like that comes over but if you’re looking for the longterm and also with vlad’s age we already looked at this with vat’s age he’s probably if he were to take a deal that would that would go to his age 40 season it would be a $14 million contract after this year has 14 years left uh Jay’s next JM VL yeah may maybe that’ll do it hire his dad um he vlat could play with Juan stto for 14 years um I’m concerned to put it lightly I’m concerned have you subscribed yet is my question to you please please please please if you have not subscribed I’m literally begging you I’ve said please three times make sure to subscribe and stay close to the channel I’m not going anywhere this is just your uh one every two how long have we’ve been going this is your once every hour and a half reminder to subscribe on that Tanner Scott or devb Williams go to land uh Jim Bowden thank you Tony one of the more interesting free agent trade Pursuits is for closers Scott Willam Gates thoughtful face very interesting free agent pieces available uh let’s see yeah bastardo it’s good odds at Scott or Williams go to the Dodgers I can see them getting one of them see that is somewhere where I can see them getting aggressive and paying top dollar either through Prospect Capital or or dollars uh was this the thing yeah I saw this too uh T thank you for sending it to me I’m sitting here with my notifications on I should move that because people could just like start tagging me and stuff I got to get out Jim get out of here quick before it’s just one non-stop tag Fest okay here we go uh let’s see Tanner Scott so yes I can see I think I I would say it’s very favorable your Roger sell bill just increased getting ready to announce that vlat extension bone thank you for the donation Noah you are a Nats fan they going to be in offseason mode people thought we were going to be in on burns and others why aren’t we spending money especially after Patrick Corbin’s departure Noah Noah Nat’s fans um did you see the first mock draft gonna maybe be getting yourself a holiday the holiday Brothers could be in the DMV how about that Ethan Ethan right Ethan with the gats and Jackson with the Orioles you wonder if Landing this number one pick seeing what they do I don’t know I don’t think it really pushes the NS at all in their in their in their plan but to have that number one pick fall into your lap that’s nice I would say that um it’s it’s just such big money and at some point I think Mike will spend big money but just obviously it’s not yet it’s a not yet kind of thing next year let me check let me check yeah Jim Bowen six minutes ago uh the Dodgers clearly want to retain tasar Hernandez after he sees after he sees his free agent value would like to trade for Williams or sign Scott win the sweep Stakes for RI and do everything they can to repeat and by the way we’re never in on stto despite meeting with him thank you Jim Bowden thank you for chiming in we’ll see what happens with t Oscar we’ll see it’s a quiet night in baseball land uh David you are also a Nats fan and I’m hoping for the Nats ass sign Pete Alonzo it could happen but really it’s this is sort of a matter of when do you think Mike Rizzo wants to strike he will he certainly will or does he want to get next year under his belt and maybe allocate they have a lot of money they have a lot of money maybe they try to allocate some of that to some of these young uh players like uh like wood or Cruz uh and get him long-term get him extensions similar to you know uh the aunia deals or the ALB deals or or basically what the Braves have been doing does Rizzo want to try to do that and he wants to uh get those dollars on the budget spreadsheet before he goes and spends in free agen that could be in play here miles it’s next year vlat right next year did did I I didn’t say this year did I what did I say next year vlad’s vlat is a free agent next year he could have been one this year but the Blue Jays manipulated his service time making him a super two player because they knew he was going to be really good so they manipulated and milked the clock and he’s a 4-year arbit ation guy is there more from Jim Bone Jim Bone’s up late is it past his bedtime now I’m just being mean that’s not right I take it back Jim Yankees have shown interest in Christian Walker Alex bregman Kyle Tucker Tanner Scott Cody Bellinger but to date not Nolan arado despite all of the rumors um we had uh other Yankee reporters yesterday saying such that Nolan ronado Yankees doesn’t doesn’t doesn’t seem like a thing in addition although they like both Alonzo and santon Deere there doesn’t seem to be an appetite for them to play or play at that level it would take to land them Alonzo could linger Alonzo really could Linger on the market think about first base needs the Mets need a first baseman but will they spend the money on Alonzo to bring him back Arizona could argue needs a first baseman but do they have the money St Louis isn’t going to pay him Seattle doesn’t have the money for him the Yankees According to Jim Bowden and others it it just doesn’t seem like there’s any smoke to the Yankees right now he’d be too much money for the Reds too much money for the Brewers you can start drawing some gats connections there’s certainly you could draw some Houston connections but Houston right now is trying to bring bregman back and Pittsburgh just brought in Spencer Horwitz and Spencer Horwitz goingon to be the first baseman in Pittsburgh for for many years so think about the teams that I just listed there and and who’s the slam dunk fit that is going to be clamoring to get Pete Alonzo there really isn’t one it’s a lot of coulds it’s a lot of maybe it’s a lot of it’s some reaching right it’s it’s it’s like the Mets the Mets pet Alonzo needs the Mets the Mets kind of need P the Mets could use for the first Bas but do they need do they need Pete I get you know yes yes I would say they do the the Mets still if you brought Pete Alonzo back and you have that lineup you’ve got Lindor you’ve got stto you’ve got Pete Alonzo you’ve got an upand cominging Mark Vientos if he does what he did in the postseason again throughout the regular season You’re Building you’ve got something really good and without Pete Alonzo in there you’re you’re you’re running Brett batty back out there at third base and you move Mark ventos the first and does Brett batty have it and there’s question marks there he could he he could also not and you know Pete Alonzo in a down year is still going to be productive if Brett batty has a down year it’s a catastrophe it’s a it’s it is a Wasted Spot in the lineup I did see there was some talks Steve I did see can’t remember where I saw thought that uh that the A’s have had some interest and I did they even offer him a fouryear Deal saw something about four years uh mentioned with Alonzo and the A’s that would be a shocker truly would was that on was that Scoops might have been Scoops the could sign Walker for 3 years then the entos moves over afterwards it would be cheaper and not a far drop in production it could Christian Walker Christian Walker’s got a healthier Market than Alonzo does right now and it’s because it’s less years and maybe even a less aav um but at the end of the day the other the other equation does a team this is this also applies to the Yankees what’s looming Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s free agency is looming and vlady and Tucker are the two big pieces next off seon if you’re the Mets or the Yankees do you want to sign Pete Alonzo or Christian Walker Christian Walker is a little easier cuz he’s he’d be a shorter contract but do you want to sign Pete Alonzo that may prevent you from being in the Vladimir Guerrero Jr sweep Stakes next November think about that too I would be thinking about it if I was a front office guy I would be looking for somebody to bridge the gap do we have somebody internally that can get the job done we do good because I want to have money and I want to have a spot for vlat next year so we’ll see I’m check something here that is just not loading anymore this one this this computer might be tapping out this is the one that has to be plugged in or it dies in fact I thought it was dead a year ago revived it brought it back from the dead let’s see awesome yeah it’s just that that’s not doing anything what else we got Caleb you sent something check the notifications all right no recent contract talks between the Braves and Charlie Morton Morton’s another guy there was a question earlier about uh canana that’s another guy that really feels like he’s got to kind of wait his turn you think about it we’re not hearing anything about I mean there’s a couple future Hall of Famers on the market Verlander sherzer who both intend to pitch next year but we’re not hearing anything about it they kind of have to wait their turn these big names have to come off the board the the big pieces have to be traed we kind of have to we we need to like get the the tier ones out of the way before we can really dig into the tier twos now that doesn’t mean that you won’t get some of those other deals to sign we saw Alex Cobb get a deal we saw Matthew boy get a deal there are opportunities where teams will try to pounce and get uh early get ahead start on tier two or tier three or tier four but for the most part for a market to really get going and percolate and and have a healthy number of teams I think you got to wait you kind of got to wait your turn you you got to get Burns has to come off the board and uh then flarity has to come off the board and manah has to come off the board uh Bueller’s got to come off the board once they’re off the board then we maybe start getting into Morton Verlander Sherer guys like that who Am I who am I forgetting Lance Lynn’s gonna want Lance Lynn wants to pitch next year Gotta Wait his turn Chris why are the Jays not rebuilding now reason they’re not rebuilding now is because you you still have you have vlat and bow you have a lot of money invested with gsman and BOS uh George Springer you can kind of attach the windows to compete to the uh the the high dollar the high aav contracts and the years that those contracts run and if you’ve got multiple of those that’s kind of that’s kind of your window because at that point the teams will have to decide do we want to cut bait or not the Blue Jays could find takers for Kevin Gosman they could find takers for Chris Basset and Jose BOS and vlat and Bo and and they won’t find anybody for Springer I don’t I don’t I I doubt that but one of the other elements to this is the fact that you know two the two faces of the franchises Bo and vlat are still there you make another run at it next year and then if it doesn’t happen then maybe you course correct next offseason but the Toronto Blue Jays just spent a lot of money on that Park upgrading it adding restaurants adding concessions adding so much to the experience to where if the team goes in the tank and nobody’s coming out to the park then Rogers made a horrible business decision so they from a business standpoint need to keep the fans interested and engaged and if you trade Vladimir Guerrero Jr you’re waving the flag to the to the fan base that this team’s going to suck we’re we’re we we’re not going to tell you we’re rebuilding but the era is this last era is ending and there’s a new one starting and now we can’t really promise much about what this new era is going to be not after they spent all that money upgrading the facility upgrading the up upgrading the the ballpark for that reason I can’t uh I don’t think that they feel like they could blow it up I feel like I mean that’s why that’s why they’re out there trying to sign Corbin Burns and Max freed and all these other guys to contracts that are more than five years because they probably look at this thing and they’re like we we got to keep we we have to keep competing uh this thing cannot come to an end we need another five six seven years of winning to keep people coming out we just this is this is this is a new ballpark we’ve spent a lot of money on it we can’t have people going away now the product on the field can’t go to garbage which is what would be happening if they trade flatty at least or it would would create the impression that’s what’s happening ticket sales would go down uh season tickets would get cancelled all that so that’s that’s another reason why I don’t think the Blue Jays blow it up that has been a popular narrative to to go out there uh since the Blue Jays really the middle of last year when it was obvious that it’s not going well there’s been a lot of talk about you know fire sales and trading bow and trading V and I have talked about trading Kevin Gosman because I feel like you need to you had needed to trade Kevin Gosman if you wanted to make other moves if you found a Kevin gsman trade that brought you a bat a significant bat in return um let’s say and that bats in arbitration Willams for Alec boom trade is possible if if that if that bat is in arbitration years then the dollars are low and it also frees up money to go and get another bat so I thought that if you traded Gman you could get essentially two bats that help you right now and I have been on the extend vlat trade bow train uh but again that is another kind of what Houston’s doing right now with Tucker and Valdez trying to help your team continue to compete right now and continue to compete for the long term what Houston’s doing is very difficult it’s very disruptive it’s painful Kyle Tucker and framber Valdez are available in the trade market because they understand that this thing could like we could be getting towards the end here the farm system is terrible we have some key pieces walking out the door next year does it sound familiar you probably think I’m still talking about the Blue Jays no that’s Houston you got aging Stars you got key pieces walking out the door and you have a terrible farm system the Blue Jays check all those boxes too the difference is the Astros are looking to turn two of their pieces that are walking next year into multiple assets that could help the team in other ways and for the future but the Toronto Blue Jay’s front office Dumb and Dumber don’t see it I’m so frustrated with the front office guys I don’t want to get started on that there was a super chat let me get to the Super Chat uh Ethan do I think Devon Williams for Alec bow trade is possible I do not uh Deon Williams trade value is too high Philly would have to add more to the table could Philly trade for Devin Williams yes could Alec bone be in that trade yes more would have to go uh Pat I do not believe Romano is cooked uh Romano passes physical for anybody wondering if that would happen Jordan Romano who the Blue Jay sent packing because of an impingement and struggles last year the only excuse anybody could find was that H they must have the Medicals and it must be bad news uh we don’t want to spend $6 million on a guy that is going to play next year but the Philadelphia Phillies are bringing him on board and they’re paying him and they ran a physical and he passed that physical it’s just another bad decision by the Blue Jays front office I believe Jordan Rano will be fine next year sometimes we forget that players struggle drives me crazy when a player struggles and then all of a sudden that’s who he is for the rest of his career and what he had been before that is no more come on now um anyway um I think Ral is gonna be fine and yimy Garcia interests me I believe Garcia passed his physical to uh but yimmy Garcia Jimmy Garcia I’m sorry I I I’m hung up on calling him yimy it’s Jimmy uh he has a two-year deal with the blue jays for 15 million bucks over two years his uh his in his elbow stuff concerns me more than Romanos Romano was an impingement we had elbow issues with Jimmy Garcia after he was traded to Seattle that shut his season down couldn’t come back soreness tightness all the words that lead you down a bad Road and the Blue Jays went for him after saying no to Jordan romano and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Jimmy Garcia is getting a two-year deal because Jimmy Garcia I don’t know I don’t know how much he’s going to give you next year anyway anyway don’t get me don’t get me started on that Empire Jeff just need to sign ta you need a vacation I would love I’d love it um I don’t think Tay Oscar comes here without Vladimir Guerrero Jr extended though and if you’re Anthony santand there I mean what is is the Blue Jays front office going in there and pitching to teoscar and Anthony santand there and the other bats they’re linked to that we are going to build this lineup around you if that’s the pitch I am Z out completely that’s not the pitch I want I guys again I I have no faith in this front office I I just don’t I don’t trust them they they did not get Vladimir Guerrero Jr involved in any of the formally any of the wano stuff why wouldn’t you they have a relationship they’re friends why why wouldn’t you bring him in formally because informally he could be talking some serious [ __ ] about the franchise so at least bring him in formally so I don’t know he’s got to stand there and say positive things in front of everybody else I don’t know but I don’t trust them to put the package together right I just don’t trust them to put a good pitch together again are you serious really is cuz you can’t you can’t present for the next you know for the five or six years that you’re going to sign here it’s going to be you and it’s going to be vlat and it’s going to be it’s probably not going to be bo it’s it’s not going to be Spencer Horwitz does Alejandro Kirk excite you does Dalton varo excite you we got those guys um H just there’s not there’s it’s just they they’re missing missing the boat uh if you’re the reds are you trying to trade Kario yes I am Sean I most certainly am I don’t know if that contract is tradable though right big big mcflips I don’t think after what he did last year and quite frankly like he had sort of a career Resurgence in Washington and then he was traded and it was a little it was okay uh good not good not great after the trade went to the Cubs right and then he goes to the Reds and it really was not a great year for conio unless I’m thinking of somebody else I’m pretty sure I’m right on this and now the reds are sitting there with a big fat contract and a guy that’s not living up to it pat sorry it’s it’s okay Pat yeah I event it’s going to come out at some point I’m all done I promise I will say no more B has some stff do you think the New York Yankees are cooked I don’t uh van daminator I got to move something out of the way close that poll thank you for the donation I I don’t oh my God who’s this mfer who is he though hey anybody see that Ruben Sierra’s on Twitter now that’s just kind of random isn’t that great I don’t know I think it’s great I I thought Ruben Sierra was so freaking awesome I’m I’m happy to see him like re resurface anybody happy that Ruben Sierra’s on Twitter now um thank you should we hang out for a minute then I know some of you don’t know who it is Nathaniel what’s up man do did some there’s a guy there’s a guy who’s uh retired hold on who is this guy before I put it up who the heck is Billy stefen we got to check these things out like there was a guy earlier today who claimed to be a blue jays writer for the athletic but he’s not uh but in his bio it said he was who is this guy I need to know who Billy stefen is I need like a I need like a Wikipedia on Billy Ste he’s got to have one if he’s a real person Toronto fan you guy know you know who he is you you’re good with so you’re good with him you believe that he is a living breathing human being okay just as I’m thinking it might be safe to go to bed I don’t know if I can dude is a Toronto fan who me I’m a Toronto fan is what it is yeah that’s that’s the thing Rockies now what’s going on man good to see you buddy I don’t know I don’t trust it I don’t trust it either but knowing that he’s an actual human being knowing that he’s a broadcaster at some point um no it’s okay you can bring it up I’m I’m basically bringing it up he’s saying that Corbin Burns deal is happening but we’re not going to we’re not going to go over the top for this until somebody we need more than just Billy stefen I’mma hang out I I was about to wind down but I’m going to hang out I’m going to hang out somebody else saying anything about it no nothing else nobody else yet just just Billy stepin still now what’s in what is interesting about where we’re at right now now um we got to be getting close to the Finish Line right I don’t want to pull it up because I don’t want to I don’t want to I don’t want to take it to that place I just realized that we’re just sitting here with like half a Google page open sorry about that guys um what can we put it up 15 minutes ago Ben Nicholson Smith where the J stand I don’t want to make this into a a blue J stream because that’s not the that’s not the point uh that’s not I’m not here to just make it a blue J stream but we are gonna just give this some time to breathe to see if anything else is happening I know Sports Universe there are that’s the other thing somebody who somebody dm’ me that and said that the guy did something else two um uh hold on who can I reach out to um that’s not it I hope I’m still in good standing with some of my blue jay buddies I think I pissed a lot of them off yesterday I don’t am I what what what uh I’m not worried about the views it’s it’s more about because anybody could say that right now and it’ll get views I talk about people that have sources I talk about are you close is is that Source close to the finish line and if if it doesn’t seem like we’re close to the Finish Line then it’s tough uh it it’s it’s tough to take it it’s tough to believe it but I mean Ken Rosenthal was saying earlier today that he believed the Corbin Burns deal would happen today and it hasn’t yet and now we just have somebody all right yeah so it’s not hold on again I’m going to hang out and see if anybody else brings up if we get a second one maybe maybe things will change that Diamond Back signed Jeff Brigham I just got that notification from trade rumors I don’t need need that right now we’re give it a minute yeah [ __ ] who cares I I’ll pull it out thinking the Cubs will get Kyle Tucker I have the Cubs as the favorite to get him right now do I think they get him I don’t know what’s this dude’s name Stefan do I think they’ll get him I don’t know but I would put him as a favorite okay guys are you ready now anybody that comes in here and is like this is [ __ ] tell them if I don’t see it you tell them we know we are well aware of what’s going on here that we are waiting to see if it goes anywhere and I’m not going to wait all night I’m going to give this a little bit of time to see if there’s anything to it this I mean this is he’s very confident I mean this is very direct this is a guy a retake retired hockey Insider uh we have seen people uh confirm that he is a living breathing human he only has 252 followers but if you are a retired hockey ex ins uh Insider if you’re new to Twitter if you’ve been around the game for 45 5 plus years you’re not going to have a Twitter following if you’re just a casual guy so yeah I I’ll just add that I’m not expecting I’m not expecting him to have a large following uh but this is kind of what we’re going to watch for a minute yeah 252 it’s pretty low but I’m not again this is a guy who probably doesn’t ever do this uh his last comment his last post was July 1st and it was a hockey deal and I believe my hockey friends that are in here are saying that he got this hockey deal right before anybody else it could be Paul very well could be this is something we are watching to see if anybody else has it I’m going to start getting questions I don’t know I’ll reply to Lou I don’t know if Lou is in here or not I don’t know we know what we could do we can count the views so this will be fun at the very least let’s track this view count right here and and see how much it jumps by cuz I have a feeling this thing’s going to get a lot of traction oh I don’t it updates automatically right there was the light count that this is going to update automatically I’m just we could just watch The View count rise could have got lucky very well could have freed get eight burds only seven Steve the reason if there would be I mean the dollars are high the dollars would be higher and this is something Mark feinan talked about is the dollars would be higher for Corbin Burns then for Max freed and the Yankees go the Yankees go long on their years it’s a strategy to get the aav down and I might not leave this up for long because I don’t want people coming in thinking that we’re out here trying to say Corbin burn is going to the Blue Jays and this is the deal and this is the tweet that broke it I might not leave this up for long cuz again as if I see the viewers start to creep up I’m going to take it down I’m G to take it down because I don’t want people to think oh here’s Jim pushing some fake uh some fake Twitter accounts and really quite honestly like we don’t need to sit on this for too long anyway because if things are happening somebody else legitimate is going to also start to move on this so we’ll watch it for a minute what do we at we’re only at 61 come on Twitter update your view count it’s got to be more uh let’s refresh it and see 68.5 not growing that much Billy just does not have enough of a network I again he’s a real living breathing human um some of these old guys that don’t do social media uh Bill Madden gave us the deal for Juan Soo told us where the Yankees went told us that the told us where the Mets went and he nailed it an hour before it was announced he nailed it so don’t uh don’t totally discount old dudes on Twitter that don’t have large followings other people are commenting he had a springer deal was it this guy no it was it was it was it was that guy who was getting his haircut I think he ended up blocking me on Twitter because we got into an argument about Danny Jansen which is freaking ridiculous um and and Danny Jansen being one of the blue jay’s best hitters uh and this is a point when Springer was still a threat and and they had Simeon and they had vlat and they had B and and I was in an argument on Twitter about Danny Jansen by was it WBA or no I think WRC plus it was something it was a small he had like the fewest amount of at bats of everybody else that was in the conversation but because it was a essentially a percentage driven stat Danny Jansen was at the top but he had the fewest amount of plate appearances and I ended up in an argument it’s one of the it’s one of the reasons why I don’t do a whole lot on Twitter anymore because it’s just nonsense half the time I come on here uh Brandon Brandon [ __ ] I think was the guy’s name who I wasn’t that the guy who broke the Springer deal spicy me but I I I yeah we are not we are not uh saying this is real we are watching it we are waiting to see if anybody picks this up should I write that down here for people who are like hopping in nobody’s going to read that this is this is all they’re going to say it’s crazy nobody’s But but so there’s there I I have seen there’s a blue sky thing I don’t think anybody’s on Blue Sky and look at this point honestly what I use Twitter for is only to see what Jeff passon and Ken Rosenthal and Bob Nale say every now and then I’ll I I mean anybody that’s been this is literally nobody but if you have tracked my Twitter activity over the last six months it’s been pretty minimal cuz I am literally only there to see what pass and says Sam I know I know again make guys make sure those of you that have been in here now with us for like 10 or 15 minutes let every let them know when they come in there going to be people that come in and look at this and they’re going to be like oh no no no no no no this is I can’t believe he’s got this up we know we know no we are we are basically the stream would be over if this tweet hadn’t happened if this had never been posted I’d be gone and I’d be getting ready for pet I’m only hanging out to see and I’m only hanging out for a little bit longer to see if anybody else grabs this and not just people who are taking what’s his name again Billy not just people who are taking Billy’s stuff but like somebody who’s actually saying that they are hearing something too uh Michael I can’t see kareah getting traded I would be surprised he’s too much money on the contract he’s getting hurt that was the problem coming into this whole thing he’s only getting older the dollars still there I think the twins are stuck with that I’m going to give this a couple more minutes to see if anybody else gets going on it or or has something let’s see there’s one other place I want to look what is that no all right I’m going to take it down I believe again the intent of this was not that we think this is happening the intent of this was to put it up so you guys knew what I was talking about now it’s been up for like 5 or 10 minutes and people are going to be coming in thinking that we are uh trying to spread this and I don’t want to just repeat myself every 30 seconds saying what we’re actually doing with that so I’m going to take that down and uh we will let’s see I’m I’m surprised is everybody on a flight back you can you can text on airplanes now um what’s going on in Boston land nothing new in Boston land if anybody else sees anything else uh anything from anybody with uh more than 252 followers let me know we’ll track it this could it it could end up being something that gets a lot of a lot of heat tomorrow uh you know Ken Ken felt pretty confident about a Burns deal today to anybody wherever he was going he felt pretty good about it by the way this is funny guys what would you do what would you do time what would you do if John morosi you know where I’m going with this retweeted that Billy what’s his name that Billy stefen tweet what would you do morosi will forever be linked to the airplane and Otani last year and I don’t know why I saw marosi pop up has a with a with a new post and I was like uh oh yes Steve the plane is in the air the plane has left Southern California and is is inbound should we get flight tracker back up I mean it’s at a point where all all I can do is all I can do is laugh about it at this point really uh has JP hornstra Vibes oh man yeah that was tough man I mean and he it’s interesting like that was that was brutal marosi survived he’ll never live it down but he did survive he still has a job he still goes on MLB Network um he still breaks news still has his sources what’s somebody to have something firefight did it all right well good again I I hope I mean there I hope that that those that were here for that had I mean there was it was it it from a blue jays for any blue jay fans it it hurt but from an entertainment level which is also where I live I kind of I kind of go I straddle the line from uh I’m a blue jay fan to um um um looking for entertainment and interesting uh that was interesting as hell so hold on minute does somebody have a question Brian Giants fan here hoping we get Burns or I will slowly start to lose faith in the front office that they can get a competitive team hey hey man new front office though right Brian you got Buster posy in there you got a deal done for will Adamas you are in on Corbin Burns here down to the end it’s at the point where it’s it’s going to be who who’s got who’s got the more enticing offer they’re they’re both being aggressive I feel like it’s probably between San Francisco and Toronto again my prediction is San Francisco uh I’m not going to change that even with all of the talk I did change my SoDo prediction I changed it the first sto video I had after mix Thanksgiving uh sto tweet the first one I had the first chance I I had that’s when I changed it and I changed it to the Mets I went Mets one Red Sox 2 Yankees 3 and um I don’t I don’t always change predictions I’m not going to change my prediction on this one I’m going to leave my prediction as Giants uh I’ll be happy if he goes to the Blue Jays but I’m going to stick with my Giants prediction until I mean at this point look I’m not going to change it in the last you know five yards to the end zone but uh yeah I’m not going to I’m still not going to change it uh evil monkey didn’t Jack Curry shoot down bregman to the Yankees yesterday today Yankees are interested in bregman what he he essentially did Evil Monkey yes Jack curry went on yes and was talking about how the Yankees do not view bregman’s swing does not view his game as something that plays in Yankee Stadium but Jack Curry is the only broadcaster that has done that all the other broadcasters all the other big guys are still talking about bregman as a Yankee possibility I don’t see it I I applaud Jack Curry for pouring cold water on it my concern is that a lot of the straight-faced uh bregman and linking him to the Yankees is because a lot of the sources that these guys have come out of Boris Corp and if you start if you start saying that bragman and the Yankees is never going to be a thing then you are hurting his client and you will no longer get you will no longer get uh your sources from Boris Corp Neil what’ you say where are you Neil I saw the last one what did you say before that what what did you what did you say before that I didn’t miss a Super Chat did I Stony I’m thinking about s and burns I can’t find you Neil I can’t find it there’s uh there’s a healthy amount of people in here right now the chat’s moving scrolling I’m scrolling still scrolling Neil you’re gonna have to you’re gonna have to ask me your question again paranormal any news on the Yankees H any news since when is the thing it’s there’s been a lot of news on the Yankees see the bar the Mets are have so much more that they need to do and will do uh 49er media I think I might have seen that uh but I’ll check on my phone I saw that uh Hunter thoughts on the Pirates trading Keller or Jones I don’t think they’re going to do it I wouldn’t do it and I don’t think they’re going to do it Scott wants to fire Ross and Company trade bow and DFA Springer well Scott uh none of those things are going to happen uh I don’t believe would it save Ross I don’t know if the team Ross has a contract that has not been extended so Ross could just be his contract could end and they choose not to renew it uh I do think he’s probably him and chyro or shapy um that’s I mean Shapiro shapy they are both uh working for their next contract uh Jeremy the only news on burns is a tweet from a guy who’s U an old hockey dude who has some connection but we don’t know those connections he is saying that the Blue Jays and burns are have a deal but he’s the only guy saying that and we’ve never heard of him before so we have mentioned it we have brought it up we put it on the screen for five minutes but that is as far as we have gone we have taken it down because again I don’t want anybody thinking that we are here pushing that we were watching it but then I found myself re repeating myself every 5 Seconds King sarcasm Toronto Blue Jay’s secret Insider who broke ikf and KK Billy has broken many deals I have also confirmed with my source that this might be 90% true here we go we well so we’re going from Billy’s very definitive 100% to King sarcasm’s 90% we’re going the wrong way we need to some we need to be going up we can’t be going down again I don’t remember him breaking Springer I thought that was Brandon [ __ ] was his name you guys don’t talk about am I still blocked by that guy let’s find out yeah I think I’m still blocked oh it’s fun oh BK oh geez yeah I used the wrong letters there there he is oh I’m in guys I’m in there it was yeah January 19 2021 did Billy beat that hey let’s do it’s midnight on the East Coast we’re killing time um who’s the guy’s name Billy so we got to go back now to January 19 2021 now the good news is Billy doesn’t tweet much he only has 33 posts it’s not going to take a long time to find this or did he break it somewhere else did he break it on MySpace okay here we go it was what it is very first very first Twitter post he was so damn excited about the Springer news he decided to get on Twitter like this is my moment this was January 19th 2021 at 8:54 p.m. oh guys there’s a lot riding on the line here Billy stefen versus is it is it Brandon C I don’t know man one of these two have been riding on breaking the George Springer deal who you got before I pull it up who you got are you are you team Billy again we have 8:54 January 19 2021 I have not pulled up the time yet are you team BK or are you team Billy in the chat right now now we got nothing else to do we got time to kill as we try to see if Corbin Burns is going to the Blue Jays or not both of them are riding on having broken the Springer news we got a lot of a lot of a lot of love for team Billy uh let’s see Mark is BK but it is a lot of Billy hype in the chat so we’re going to go with Billy drum roll please again Billy stefen 8:54 p.m. January 19 2021 Springer to the Jays is done expect the final number to be around five for 110 BK George Springer Blue Jays and the George Springer in agreement pending physical I’m going to click on it we’re going to see the time time stamp is 827 BK wins the day Billy stefen is a piece of [ __ ] liar BK wins by about a half an hour Billy stefen could have seen Brandon’s tweet and claimed it for his own there it is it’s BK Billy’s a loning son of a [ __ ] that’s what we know all right that’s empty so now that that’s been settled we’re back to square one we’re back to the 90% from oh who was that who was the guy did he take it down already we’re back to the 90% from that other blue jay guy which is again going backwards from a guy who was a half hour late on the Springer thing that’s right king of sarcasm did he take that down I’m actually following this guy holy [ __ ] am I really see somebody I used to do a thing on here I don’t do it anymore because again Twitter man I used to do a thing on here where I did the follow back if you followed me I’d follow you back and why am I am I following him did he unfollow me like a long time ago Maybe not maybe he said something funny the other day and I was like oh I like it um I I don’t know but I’m following him and I didn’t know it so he still has this up from n minutes ago should I retweet this and say that I have also confirmed it with my source that it and it is 80% true can we like start a thing where we in like 15 minutes we have done enough as as as ball cap Nation to take this thing down to like 0% get enough people to retweet this thing down to 80 to 70 and just get down to 0% I’m not gonna stay up all night oh [ __ ] just knock my headphones out in my ears forgot I have a cord here yeah go for it take it down Guys somebody retweet King sarcasm and say I conserned my sources is 80% and then somebody take that one let’s just take it all the way down because because at this point at this time of night anything that’s like Corbin Burns going to the Blue Jays it’s like it’s going to be all about like keywords and algorithms and not a lot of people are going to be tweeting it so anybody that’s searching for it it’s going to show up Kings I got to see like that oh I don’t want to retweet it because there’s going to be a lot of people that are in here and they and they don’t know what we’re doing yeah screw it uh let’s see here here’s what I’ll do here’s what I’ll do no I don’t want to repost I want to I want to quote it I’m going to quote it okay anyway this is fun has it been an hour already since that Bowden tweet oh my goodness Robbie who not Robbie Hyde did Robbie retweet Robbie retweeted what but Robbie Robbie’s not here I wish Robbie was here Robbie retweeted the Billy Sten thing it’s been an hour since Billy stefen now wow is funny sources live in Dark Places that’s all that’s all I’ll say sources live in Dark Places sometimes it’s under the couch H yeah let’s check something real quick let’s is there anything worth consuming from this come on would Trump Corbin Burns for you I gotta see iter all right well I’m show I’m going to show you something graphically all the moves and the business that’s been done here at the winter meetings he’s such a studier this guy it all started uh on Sunday when Juan stto signed that agreed to a big contract today it became official 15 years 765 large with the New York Met so they weren’t joking about it it is now officially the record contract to baseball you think that music would be a problem I’m G to mute that because I don’t know we don’t need the music they’re just running through the deals oh look at the next one I like this deal for the I I like this deal for the Giants Giants needed a star Giants needed a just a great Clubhouse guy and they got one this definitely made some noise again I don’t I don’t like what he brings with the bat I know quick on the bases I know he’s great defensively I want I want a dangerous bat that’s what I want not getting it at least not yet so volley thing was nice it’s good job by the Rangers this next one Peter Bendix that Jake Berger trade o great job I I know Burger’s got a lot of uh Burger’s a nice player Burger’s got a lot of control but they got some prospects in return for Jake Berger that was a really nice move by Peter bendex and I like I like I actually like this crochet thing on both sides I really do I like it for Red what the Red Sox need I like it for what the white socks need I even though it cost a lot I like it let’s see what Joel Sherman’s got to say million how did it get to that number how many how many factors were in play here that gave free the free agent momentum he had you know Greg watching your segment with uh case and Dro uh reminds me of the interconnectivity of everything that happens in this ecosystem how one thing leads to another the Rangers and Red Sox were in on freed and when it became obvious they weren’t going to get him one pivots to ivaldi one pivots to crochet by agreeing to with Kyle TI in the trade and in some ways think about the Yankees and all the interconnectivity dam they begin this off seon and Priority One Two Three and fours to try to keep Juan stto while they’re trying to do that some stuff is coming off the board that they like they would have been big players for Willie adamus to play Third Base so the second they find out on Sunday night that they’re not getting Juan stto they pivot strong to what becomes now their number one priority which is Max freed and they let him know they had had a a zoom call with him the previous Tuesday they had Zoom calls with him Toronto Boston Texas those were the four finalist Texas and Boston Toronto never makes an offer Texas and Boston are at 7 years 190 the one to watch is Texas no state tax so that 190 is worth a lot more the Yankees know they have to go further the Yankees were at 8 to 210 freed wanted an eighth year the camp from uh from freed says if you go above David Price’s record for left-handed starter 2117 million you get the player the Yankees go to 218 million on an 8-year deal they get Max freed they add a left-handed Ace it looks like they’re saying farewell to a longtime second baseman glaber Torres a free agent right now are the Yankees even considering bringing him back and which teams are interested in the right-handed bat yeah you know it’s a tricky thing uh Greg because he is still a young player in his late 20s he has history of being a good hitter including how old is glaver Torres again does anybody remember what I’m talking about does everybody know the ja is a Yankee but two teams that have shown interest in him are the Angels who had the second worst Ops from second base this year but the one I find more interesting is the Washington Nationals who have talked to him about potentially playing Third Base cuz they have Luis Garcia at second base and remember when the Yankees traded for jazz Chisum in July the initial ask was to glaber Torres to go play Third Base Gaber didn’t want to do it that’s how Jazz Chism ended up at third base okay I love when you say you can blame glaber for the fifth inning of the World Series uh casas’s value I believe is very high uh that’s why you can’t do Castillo straight up for him a casas’s value is is too high on that you have to think of for the Yankees what is life going to be like after Juan sto and there is no onetoone exchange for his back so they decided to get better at the top of the rotation with freed joining Cole and moving somebody like Carlos rhon down but it also created dth in their rotation right now the Yankees have seven veteran starters I think they’d very much like to trade Marcus strowman to get out of the 18 million they owe him next year but by having extra starters does somebody like Luis heel can they use him to go get Tucker the Astros very much like heel the Cubs have players the Astros like so there’s that into connectivity there the if Tucker ends up on the Cubs with the other team they’re even more likely to trade Cody Bellinger who’s kind of a cheat code for the Yankees who need help at first center and left well those are all positions Bellinger plays so the Yankees could get him comfortably and know where do we not get an answer we could put in the cheat code for that and Christian Walker’s a player they’ve talked to quite a bit but I sensed as they left the meetings that that had cooled a little bit uh remember he’s right-handed he’s mid-30s and they’ve already lost their second and fifth picks next year by signing a qualified offer free uh free agent in Max freed this is just uh it’s it’s called the TV app just uh Google that and this is what you get um one thing about Kyle Tucker all this Kyle Tucker trade talk is an extension while I think is unlikely you can’t rule it out completely because it’s not he does not have Scott Boris as his agent so could maybe have a chance both sides of the ball feels like something the Yankees really want to do it’s just mind-blowing that you would part ways uh with a flame-throwing strikeout machine like Lis heel would just one Rookie of the Year like that’s crazy but the Yankees are they’re in a different Stratosphere right now than everyone else Greg I would just say that last year they included Michael King as a a key to the trade that got stto who liked Tucker was a left hand Corner outfielder who had one year until free agency they included Drew Thorp who became the key guy who got Dylan CE in some ways they traded Dylan CE and Michael King for one year a Wan sto the Yankees understand what the time frame is on Aaron judge and garri Cole they’ve got a win now and I think they’re a win now team yeah Co that the um heel for Tucker is really an interesting idea for me all right guys it is about an extra 45 minutes that I was going to go hoping that maybe Billy would lead us to the promised land and he did not in fact again we have confirmed that Billy’s a lying son of a [ __ ] Brandon beat him on Springer by about a half an hour so don’t believe anything you see out there until Jeff pass and tweets it all right guys I am out of here if Corbin I’ll stay up for another half an hour but I got to start I gotta wind down if I go I can’t go right from here to bed I just can’t do it uh so I I gota I I’m gonna probably stay up for another half an hour I’ll be watching it if if Burns news does break I will be back exactly kingstone that rat bastard um I will be back if Burns news breaks otherwise uh I am I’m fully prepared I know the winter meetings are over uh everyone’s going back home on their Jets heading back to their respective cities uh I am prepared to uh you we have a winter meetings type day tomorrow be right back here tomorrow night maybe I’ll even leave the green screen behind me it’ be like Jim was left behind in
