what’s up guys [Music] uh I know we were supposed to do yesterday uh let me share this real quick the weather is better still windy and rainy but uh um all good here let me show this real quick [Music] obviously the Braves haven’t really done too much at all except the roll five ads today um what’s up Charles hold on obviously there’s been a lot of news across baseball um with uh H yeah I’m I’m sad to lose a favorite but that contract is ridiculous way too long in my opinion great for Max and great for his agents but there’s no way um that’s a that’s a positive contract at the end of the day um 218 million that’s insane um let’s be honest outside of Max’s performance in game six um he struggled in the playoffs um er wise but I I love it for I love it for him his family and the security of it all but that contract’s insane all of these contracts are insane um obviously it would be more exciting if the Braves had have done something by now but all of these contracts are Bonkers um so I’m not really surprised I mean SoDo 15 years 765 million and all the incentives comes to 801 million which Soto’s going to be a DH in a couple of years yes Soto’s going to make a difference but a huge difference don’t get me wrong but it that’s just I can’t even mentally fathom um how that how that’s a successful contract in any sense of the word um yeah I’m sad about Max and and no Charlie Morton as of now um I mean obviously it feels like we’re going to do something and obviously we’ added a couple people in the roll five today uh from the Marlins and Guardians a right-handed pitcher um Pilar he had 71 strikeouts and just 13 walks across three levels of the Marlins minor league system and has the strikeout ball is a big um thing in his game it’s a little surprising because the Braves haven’t selected in the roll five draft and um do I think uh let me finish the roll five draft B and then I’ll uh um we haven’t selected in the rule five draft in um since 2017 we usually pass but we also got a short stop um Cairo from the uh Cleveland Guardians I believe that’s how you say it uh 241 hang on Joseph we’ll get there hold on one second um obviously that’s not baseball or Braves related but obviously we’ll get there um he he can play the infield and Outfield 26 stolen bases could be a Luke Williams type um if we don’t decide to trade him trade them even though um we’ll see there um so it’s a little interesting but I think polar is a very intriguing piece for the bullpen especially with his strikeout ability I will do a video on it later just to um hammer out the details and the specifics um do I think we’ll trade for another starting pitcher I would think we need to or be creative in some way um yeah I think you’re only I mean I agree we need some upgrades we need some fun um but a lot of these contracts Max Freed’s contract Nathan evaldi is maybe the only one um that you could see because we were linked to them but three years 75 for 33 33y old that’s a little steep um but I mean I would have been happy with any of these as well uh any signing you give any signing you have is gonna um tailor some risks to it uh Garett crochet the the white socks did a nice job with that return so did Boston they kind of got left behind on stto and freed and being able to pull this one off is nice but I also like the return from uh the white socks perspective the Braves the Braves definitely need to upgrade um um it’s not going to happen uh it’s the golden bat rule is being discussed it’s not going to happen right now I think it’s dumb um but Joseph I’ll get to uh bill belich I think it’s wild I think it’s going to be fun to watch um the U UNCC is definitely going for it I didn’t think it made sense in any sense of the word um but but hey I’m here for it I’m excited to watch it three years 30 million I think it was in his contract so the golden bat rule is you get to pick whoever you want to bat in the biggest of situations no matter where you are in the lineup and no matter what inning it is so it’s basically a cheat code um yeah there needs to be a Savannah bananas rule I don’t like it um at all um but you know who knows Rob Manford likes to do crazy Clowny things um hang on one second guys my brother’s calling what’s up what you think about freed $218 million is [ __ ] insane a lot eight years is insane he’s not I mean he’s great and I’m happy for Max but I think that’s a that’s gonna be that’s gonna bite them in two or three years well let’s think about it though I don’t know if it will bite them it I think it’s going to bite them through the whole thing but let’s think about it how much older is Chris S than Max freed um Chris s’s 36 how old’s Max fre 31 the there’s there’s five of the years right there so say that just happens right say say they get lightning in a bottle and they get Chris Sale who is who is the young this year at 36 they they get that here’s where I think they don’t get that Yankee I gross very different very different pitching than that that guy gross it’s gross it’s gross so he’s GNA give up some home runs that he he wouldn’t normally give up no if he was still in Atlanta so I was okay with it I’m glad hey man get your money I’m I was I was completely happy for Max no doubt but I was like wow that’s a lot it’s it was I I did I thought he would get more than Carlos rodon at 6162 but um I didn’t think he would get that I didn’t think you get that many years no that many years is ridiculous a lot pict it’s it’s plus let’s be honest outside of game six for Max in 2021 his playoff um record isn’t necessarily lovely well I mean just take take let’s let’s go back here and let’s say um we look at this thing even further back if Soka doesn’t get hurt we pay Soka more money than free Soko is nasty Soko is the a yeah so they’re going to pay Soko who is mediocre at best right I mean I think you agree with that he’s mediocre well Soka has been long gone but yes well he’s not long gone he’s still I mean he’s still starting games no no no not for us I mean he’s long gone in our lands no no what I’m saying is if he doesn’t tear his Achilles twice yeah got it yeah then we’re looking at the Yankees are looking at paying Soka yeah who’s not great he’s he’s he’s not he’s nothing special and he’s one of those ones that as age gets to him it’ll really get to it yeah just so you know I’m on a live right now and this conversation is going live so I hope you’re good with that yeah I’m fine with it it doesn’t matter no I just wanted to see where you were where your head was on freed and what you think we’re going to do here in the next um oh I have no idea what we’re gonna like I cuz like I thought we were going to get Nathan evaldi or something to that effect and N he just got traded to Boston I saw that I thought we were gonna get him earlier though and that was a get for a little cheaper and that was a hell of a heck of a package from from the whops perspective too also I think that’s a really good deal for both sides and typically you don’t get that I just like I like crochet I like how he sets up I like I like everything about him yeah he just has this little I his arm angle look at his arm angle against Billy Wagner it looks the same he’s just six foot4 and he’s just coming at you arms and elbows um and I honestly I have Earth no earthly idea what the bravs are going to do because the free agent prices for all these guys is absolutely insane if Max free got $ 218 million how much money is Corbin Burns gonna get 300 no he won’t get 300 it’ll be over 200 though it’ll be over it’ll be over 218 U 250 probably probably 250 7 they may do and it may be 218 and may be 200 and it may be six years may just the the only free agent contract that I B at to say that the Braves could have maybe done it in the way that we operate is like the Tyler O’Neal contract yeah three what was that 349 and a half for Baltimore I could have seen that and I could have also seen the Nathan evaldi even though Nathan evaldi is what 20 25 for three years 375 and he’s 33 I could have he up Texas back yeah he went back Texas yeah okay and we those are that was the only guy we were really linked to I think Texas a decent ballp part to pitch at too so he may be looking at the latter part of his career and saying hey yeah coup here there was another weird trade last night that I don’t understand from either side I never understand what the Marlins do but they traded Jake Berger to Texas where saw that where does Jake Burger fit in Texas it’s just another bat I think but that’s all you can do but they right so but you have ad doas Garcia in the Outfield already you have Josh Young in third and then Neel low at first does that I mean I don’t know where’s your DH what’s the DH over there it could be a doise Garcia but I guess because they I guess they could do that DH that makes a little more sense now I think about it but it’s still awkward they’re gonna move but they’re gonna move on from somebody so somebody in the next two years is in a shitty contract and they’re going to move on from him so they got him they locked him in and they’re gonna move on from that person they move they may move on this year so we’ll ask the P the the bra will start they’ll they’ll add a starter yeah maybe Charlie Morton I like Charlie Morton he’s just gives up home ons at the rear end but and he’s 41 years old I was kind of I was kind of hoping H 38 I know I was kind of hoping we’ do just do something different does Walker beer do anything for you I love Walker beer love him but he just can’t stay healthy we’ve been linked to him I like it or Jack flarity does that do anything for you I like him too [ __ ] gas okay well those are couple of the names and we did get a couple of rule Five Guys right now or today in the rule five draft one of them is a right-handed pitcher po whatever yeah from the Marlins he had 70 75 strikeouts to 13 walks last year so that could be a sneaky piece in the bullpen and then we got a then we got a young short stop from the Guardians okay uh he could be a like a Luke Williams type he can play the infield and the Outfield so maybe utility 26 stolen bases I don’t know pretty average bat but better think I think we gotta look at this thing at pitching and you got to say all right where we okay we lost fre so Colin Maz call second col third whatever you want to call it it doesn’t matter he didn’t start as the ace strider’s the ace so we’ll say Strider comes back healthy next year as the Ace in May Chris we’re just going to say this Chris Sale comes in as the number two Lefty off sa young 18 and3 unbelievable year okay we got that say we have Charlie Morton got him so we’re gonna say we have three of the five you’re you’re forgetting about Spencer schwell andb I’m not forgetting about it I’m just saying what we have right now that’s that’s gonna well Charlie Charlie Morton’s not official so that’s why I’m saying you can’t say that I’m throwing him in there as we haven’t lost him yet okay but we have Wall Street yeah so what do we have what do we have to have as starters and that number is what seven or eight what’s the number it’s got to be seven seven get hurt seven push it to eight and you don’t have a lot of depth if you think about it so we’re going to play some games during the year call it 15 or 20 where it’s we throw the kitchen sink at it and it’s just every reliever we have is going to throw 1.2 Innings GNA happen yeah it’s fine it’s okay every team does it it’s all right keeps teams off balance and you’re G to win 50% of those games Fair even though we suck we suck at Bullpen games that’s okay I mean more often than not you think you can keep in 50% of those games you’re going to keep some of them off balance and you’re you’re going to win some of them which is fine yeah um who are those other two there’s there’s the one question and then what are we adding for a backup catcher you’re not going to get one I don’t think you’re G to go with Drake Baldwin or Chadwick Trump Drake Baldwin Drake Baldwin is our primary top prospect uh I think he needs a shot in my opinion I don’t know if this is what we’ll do but Chadwick Trump has also been our backup at points as well but I that’s you gotta put him you gotta put him with a pitcher just put him put him with one picture and say all right here this is your guy well we got Shawn Murphy for the rest of them sh Shawn Murphy is uh the personal catcher for Chris Sale and he’s probably gonna catch 130 based on the reports that I’ve heard so you don’t need a lot no I just that’s what I’m saying that so that math adds up but you get this guy blank whoever he is cassid McMahon is the catcher for SCH Bo all right every time he starts you catch I wish that gives that gives Murphy his rest however many however much rest 25 to 30 Games a year that gives him his rest and if Murphy goes down for an oblique or any other any of the other [ __ ] that we had this year oblique wrist ankle if it was a bone or a tendon or something that could be pulled we all pulled it so that gets him enough so he does it 50 games in at least for I mean oh I agree I under his belt oh I totally agree I just I don’t know because the backup catcher Market all of a sudden is like eight and a half per one year and we didn’t sign Travis St not to an $8 million contract so I’m just thinking we might go internal off options I’m fine with that okay well then yeah that’s the likely scenario as we sit here on whatever day today is December 11th yeah that’s the likely scenario for the catching position in my mind currently yeah that’s fine we’re going have to add something something else oh I I really want us to make some sort of Splash like Anthony santand there I know we’re not going to but that would be freaking awesome somebody just hates moms I mean he’s solid everywhere else too and left field he can play right field he could play all that for when Ronald I mean because Ronald’s gonna be out for the first month rehabbing anyway so it would be nice I’m just saying yeah that some splashy something like that but I think it’s you got to look at when comes back we’re too healthy somewhere so we got we’re have to dump somebody who is that somebody somebody’s Marcel Zuna probably no because he’s the permanent DH he’s the permanent DH but is he better than S Tander he was last year but is he next year so I think you just pick you have to pick between those two but yeah but I’m saying have you seen Marcel Zuna lately he looks skinny is a rail now I don’t know what so he may be thinking uhoh I gotta play some right field huh play some defense yeah so maybe he’s thinking uh oh I gotta play some defense so now I gotta get all slim again so maybe that’s a thing I don’t know I don’t know we gotta look at it yeah I mean we right now we’ve made Zero moves except the real five draft moves that I’ve talked about um I think we have to get cre ctive and like a like a find another Ronaldo Lopez type that that be that you like turn like was a reliever but wants to try starting or something because we’re good at flipping people like that I saw somebody let me see because like down backs we’re we’re also good at taking people that have had shitty shitty luck over a little bit and then then coming in take J shavez for example he can’t P from anybody but us exactly uh I don’t know about AJ Mentor he’s still on the free agent market so and Joe Jimenez being out for the season with a knee surgery that hurts the bullpen so there’s there’s a lot of questions more than answers that’s for sure if nobody takes up PJ Mentor I think that’s insane but that’s just my opinion I mean oh I agree I’d love to have him back but I don’t know if he’s going to be recovered for his hip surgery right away we already have we already have a lot of injuries that don’t work that we’re going into 2025 with I mean um yeah I don’t know I really don’t know what Alex anthopolos has up his sleeve doesn’t matter we like to see it we like to wait for it yeah we like to judge it one way or the other yeah especially I’m just glad Garett crochet didn’t go to the Phillies that was reported oh where’s uh that’s why I called other than Max fre where’s um are they gonna resign pet alono the Mets uh I haven’t heard anything on that front actually I’ve heard everything 5050 yeah keep keep Soto getting 800 I’m sorry but Soto getting $81 million is out of the realm of insanity that’s the best for you they’re probably still I think they’re still paying Bobby Bon they are from 1984 I just I don’t I don’t that how how do you judge that kind of contract and how is it a success One One World Series really I would have thought you would had two or three for $81 million all right well let’s think about this one last time the best won the World Series 86 86 is that right yeah how long ago was that too long for me to count too much mathing too much Ma so I mean you’re looking at we’re about to go in 202 five yeah 10 20 30 yeah any good pictures on the trade market right now um I’ve heard Camilo Duval the Giants closure but he might walk too many guys for Alex anthopoulos is liking um but starting pitchers I heard Mitch Keller from the Pirates maybe was on the Block which is weird because they just signed him to an extension and Garrett Jones um but no maybe maybe Clark Schmid or Lis heel from the Yankees now that they have Max Reed I would love Clark Schmid I think the uh I think Yanke he’s unload strowman I hate strowman I can’t stand that man I like strowman I can’t stand him he’s a not he’s a I can’t I’m live right now so I can’t really say what I want to say but he’s a he’s a dick yes thank you thank you for that word thank you for that word and for for all my listeners out here just just so you know this is like the most uncensored CMC chat we’ve ever had so I apologize if any of this offends anyone but this is how my brother and I talk so um so here’s here’s why I like strowman I like strowman as a competitor I like strowman as a guy that wants to win I don’t mind that but he just feels he doesn’t feel like a good Clubhouse fits me he just that’s because he’s been in bad clubhouses our clubhouse is a good Clubhouse real good and that our clubhouse can fix his shortcomings in that side of things because if you watch the Yankees they don’t have fun they don’t do they shave their face to the right thing and they what it’s not fun it’s like it it doesn’t work for everybody and if he comes to ours we have hats we have umbrellas I mean there’s stuff going on that’s a lot of fun and there’s a lot of Veteran leadership with Ozuna s yeah that Olie Riley yeah that group of people people that will just I mean hey this is how we you operated like this over there and you you kind of take some personality out of strowman even though it has flashes right you see it has flashes he gets mad yeah um but you bring him over here and you this is how we operate yeah and you get Strider sail Morton and you get those guys working with get those those guys that have been there and done it and been through the system hey here’s how we operate we get here at 6:00 in the morning whatever it is this is this is the standard that we hold he’ll just jump on board I would assume is he at Toronto yeah loser New York has never won yeah um I don’t think the rumor about AJ Smith Scher to the Astros is true for Alex bregman because Alex bregman is currently a free agent so I don’t think that rumor is true at all just answering that question um I I hear Tucker’s going Tucker is possibly going but that package I I would love Kyle Tucker but oh my God we have to give up our entire farm system that’s not even that deep right now good Lord yeah um we want Kyle Tucker to go to an American League mid yeah that’s not gonna happen end up at the Tigers something like that that’s no no no the tigers are up and coming they’re up and coming that’s fine yeah but they’re still mid we don’t see we’re not going to see them well get go to the angels then I don’t know how much you want with angels I’m scared of Ron Washington I am scared scared no I’m just saying the the Angels just take all the bravs cast offs what welcome to um Buffalo the commanders anybody else you want to name the Giants for the Panthers the been good in the past but guess who guess who has them all now yeah those three games so it’s not going to be any different with the angels not gonna be yeah Ron and E have worked with every one of them I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m just calling the Angels not ready to be a super super Contender yet I think you want hot take go Ahad Angels move away from M trout this year how they have to H I mean okay I I can agree to that but how do you how how they’re gonna be a 500 Club in July and Seattle and everybody else around them except the A’s is getting better so they’re going to have to do something and they’re going to have to rebuild that they’re going to have to rebuild and they can’t spend that much money on M Crow who can’t say help but they’ll move away from him this year well okay that’ be an interesting trade package I don’t know where it would go probably Yankees or Dodgers if I was a b man then it get super healthy and it just bombs but probably just because that’s just how um there’s been foure deals on the table recently for Pete Alonzo and I think that’s ridiculous he’ll probably get six somewhere six or seven between five and seven he’ll get yeah um even though he’s a nut job yeah he’s a whack he’s a whacko but yeah I mean obviously everybody’s been freaking out for the Braves because we haven’t actually made a significant move yet but a lot of these contracts make me so well if everybody’s freaking out about it just tell them to go back to last year the year before and every other year we don’t make significant moves it just doesn’t happen yeah yeah I know don’t make them GM’s good he’s he’s got it figured out I think not but it feels like does um so he’s not going to make a big move but he’s going to make a move that’s like oh really yeah like the move you remember conversation we had last year yep about sale I was fired up I ready yeah I good I didn’t know how it was GNA work but it did um Jared Kellick still up in the air that’s I don’t know I think we gotta have that out that’s my opinion no no I I agree that Kil Nick will still be around I just I just uh need him to take a big step forward yeah but where where did you take step forward I’m just saying as the as currently constructed Jared KCK is the starting left fielder no doubt and there needs to just just little ago in the still gon be the guy yeah definitely um and I everybody’s freaking out about us not making moves but I’m I’m not not until not until the season starts it’s only December so I would like us to make a splashy move that would be fun but uh it would be fun we’ll make some sort of move yeah it’ll it’ll be quiet it’ll be something out of nowhere what if like we traded for like a Trevor I don’t want us to do this but like Trevor story story I think that’s a maybe maybe yeah I think I to be honest I think Trevor Bower comes back into the league let’s not let’s not go that conversation he’s just as much of a nut job is any of them I’m good he is he is a nut job but I do think he comes back in the league I don’t think the bra touch that with a 10- foot pull I don’t think so either but I think he does come back in league and that little Mexican leag he’s playing and he’s still 96 98 um I think somebody’s going to pick him up at some point yeah not us but I do think but what that does do is that’ll that’ll open up somebody somebody’s gonna lose a roster spot and the brains are really really good in pitching yeah to where they take somebody that’s in a bad way had a little couple bad years had a little injury uh the one the one thing I do worry about with the bra is the pitching DB uh AJ Smith Sher I’m still high on Ian Anderson I’ll give another chance but Bryce Elder I don’t know if I can do that again Ian Anderson is I’ll give another chance to Ian Anderson I’m not saying that I’m I’m totally sold but people come back back after Tommy John surgery and it’s much better he better either throw gas or have a change up as good as Hoffman’s because he lived on the change up the whole time he was and he was a he was a splash he was he was awesome this is great but they figured them out yeah um but so the if as currently constructed one of those three guys that I mentioned are probably going to be part of the rotation and that kind of scares me Jordan Montgomery is a name that I’ve heard I I like him but he doesn’t throw hard enough for me to be like and we would have we would have to eat half of that contract that’s just one that I’ve heard slipped around there yeah I’ve heard it too and that one doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies but we’ve done gives me the woman fuzzy but remember you didn’t have the woman fuz with Chris S either that’s the only reason it gives me f yeah but okay Chris Sale had the pedigree more than Jordan’s older he’s older yeah I mean I know the Diamondbacks are trying to desperately get out of his contract so we wouldn’t have to eat too much of that yeah they’re just trying to move on yeah that’s that’s possible I’m trying to think of like a weird outside of the box Dylan CE the Padre have talked about getting rid of him for some reason because they’re po going have to rebuild they’re destroying their conference well no well they have a lot of weird contracts too a lot of deep contracts um where go Dodgers 51 yeah I mean they’re G have to unload they’re G have to unload and the Padres the Giants they’re to unload and just wait this Dodgers uh de train out yeah I have to what about does Tay Oscar Hernandez do anything for you I like Tay Oscar I think he strikes out too much but I guess everybody does so he’s like a though yeah that was a good one Joseph uh T Oscar Hernandez would be nice um I don’t I don’t see it I think he’ll go to like the Red Sox or something but all right I’m to cut you loose I got to do this business plan before I go to bed all right love you love you thanks for chatting yeah I had a blast it was fun all right see you well guys I hope you enjoyed I didn’t know how to pull that one off uh but that’s kind of how my sports conversations with my brother goes my brothers go um I hope uh obviously Charles didn’t enjoy it but I you know I think it’s an interesting way to do things and uh have fun and that was was fun um so maybe maybe I’ll have have them on one Tuesday or something when when I get closer to the season um but I think toar Hernandez could be a fit I it’s interesting when you look at our roster right now because the two the two rule five draft guys that we signed um and two minor leag rule five draft guys and there’s seven Guys Without minor league options on our current roster so it feels like there’s still going to be a lot of moving pieces um for sure in in that sense um and like I said it’s only December 11th and um there’s a lot of things good that could happen I think there’s still some interesting trades house son Kim is still out there as a free agent which is a little surprising honestly um happy B happy birthday to your brother Joseph um yeah house on Kim is still out there um everybody’s been high on him depending on if he has shoulder issues um um and just nothing um but obviously and I think the Himes trade by the Guardians was kind of shrew and a type of move that the the Braves kind of make in the unexpected variety and I think um Lis Ortiz was a really good get for the Guardians rotation how good they are in um in developing pitching and all of that jazz um but there’s been a lot of moves um and a lot of fun different things that have um that have come across and I think that it obviously sets up odd for I mean the Braves obviously things are a lot of fluid situations and and we all want a legitimate blue box um thing to talk about and um but will we I don’t know um eventually yeah because what the um Chris Sale trade came down in uh December yeah I don’t know and bonus pool money I think I read um so maybe the Red Sox are are setting up for a for one they were talking about um one of the Mariners pictures earlier um Louise Castillo maybe uh so they’re trying to go for it as well the the AL seems like it’s going to be a blood bath uh it’s going to be really fun to watch um I think that I think the Braves are still in a solid position obviously ads need to happen um and I don’t know where they’re going to come from but uh there’s still free agents out there and a lot of them Jack flarity like I said uh Jack flarity Walker beers maybe some guy we’re not even talking about that’s typically how Alex anopolis Works um um so again I know today’s uh thing was a little different talking with my brother um but it helped um formulate the topics and and um we kind of bounced around all over the place and um in a in a great way so hope you guys enjoy it it helped uh content wise as well um but Bill bellich is officially officially the Char Hills coach uh it’s kind of insane to me but awesome um and I really excited to see how it works out and gosh I love college football and I think it’s I think it’s going to be very interesting how was it five years I thought it was only three but good for him um but him getting full control um full control of a college program whereas I think the NFL was done being giving him that much much control so um but also uh the Red Sox did trade Kyle teal today so getting another catcher for depth purposes there um helps that as well um um but look at again we’ll see how the um Minor League rule five drafts draft picks play out um we haven’t done it in so long um that it’s a little it’s a little surprising but um they obviously see something they like or trying to facilitate some more minor league de or depth so that we can trade um for something significant as well it’s kind of really hard to tell we also it was a minor league deal Connor cable we signed to a minor league deal um today as well um I’m surpris I’m a little surprised no but nobody picked up the AAS uh that could be a idea as well thank you um not really sure though um like I said I not really good at judging the rule five draft stuff because we haven’t done it in so long um but there’s always a method to every every Madness that uh Alex anthopolos does um so we will see if it means anything whatsoever I don’t know [Music] um but I mean if you look at it you still got Matt Olson you still got sha Murphy you still got Ronald you still got Michael Harris you still got Spencer swelling boach um you got really good pieces in the bullpen still it it’s just there’s there’s more questions than answered in every um area of our club right now um um and if you want to go younger you give AJ Smith Sher a legitimate shot at the rotation I could see that like there’s um bulk of U possibilities and we’ll see what happens but I’m not going to I’m not going to freak out about it like you said uh Joseph it’s only December 11th so we just save my complete freak out of I need to uh when spring training starts um but again I think Alex anop still has something um um still has something to still has something up its sleeve uh um there’s a obviously a lot of moves and news not a lot from the I thought we might be on the Jordan Romano uh train but he signed one year eight and a half with um the Phillies I thought maybe Carlos Estes could be a option um so I don’t know um I think there’s again I say it a lot and I’ve said it this entire offseason there’s a lot more questions than answers but there’s always battles when you go into spring training but I think there’ll be more more answers um more answers than questions hopefully because we still do have an elite core um obviously Spencer shrider and and Ronald’s injuries throw a wrench into that for sure um but I think the Raiders are still in a good spot we just we’re not the flashy hand out insane contracts type and and I think that um it’s just the the reality of how we do things and it may be frustrating I get it but also a lot of these contracts um some of some of them you see a lot of buyers are Morse especially the longer um starting pitching contracts um Nationals are interested in Gabor Torres apparently I mean so there’s a lot of rumors still going around and uh we’ll see how things go but I think the NL East and AL East are going to be bloodbath and and very very competitive baseball and you do every Club does things in different ways given their situation and throwing money at it works a lot of the time for like the Dodgers and Mets because they can do that but being creative is also one so I will give um Everybody the Braves credit for that and let’s not forget Alex anthopoulos went for a lot of splashy big moves in in um in Toronto and it kind of backfired a little bit with the um Noah synar deal the David Price deal kind of backfired so you kind of learn from from those mistakes and and the real realities of those um and how how they can shape your franchise not only currently but way way down the road um so that that’s a difficult balance and I’m glad that I don’t have to deal with it even though even though I’d love some splashy moves to talk about makes content easier um and more fun obvious viously uh but I think there’s um realities of realities of creating great baseball teams and and great Clubhouse cultures and and different things of that nature that really you just kind of have to kind of have to embrace it I mean the Chris Sale and and Jerry Kellick moves Jerry Kellick still has the potential to be really really good um and Chris Sale came out of nowhere and became the S Young winner for Von Grisham so I don’t people freaking out and saying Alex anthopoulos is a bad GM I don’t he’s not he’s one of the best GMS and we continually get praised for what we do uh it just might not be fun splashy amazing would you like to see him take a little bit more risk one way or the other well I mean he kind of did in terms of last year with taking on all the dead money for the Jared Kellick and um the Jerry Kellick deal on the contract and all the moving pieces with that one so I think the idea that um Alex anthopolos is a bad GM is far far from the truth and I’m really um and until February February March we’re not going to really know um know the pieces and how how everything how the puzzle fits together because right now uh you got two open Rotation spots say Charlie Moran comes back but two open Rotation spots um you’d like to upgrade maybe shortstop uh and you’d like to upgrade left field and and the depth so and I think we did that with the rule five pick of of the young shortstop um so we’ll see I think I think we’re all just what have you done for me lately and it’s not been flashy splashy or any of that so everybody’s freaking out and thinking that we’re not going to be competitive XYZ um and that’s far from far from the reality and once again talk to me in November December I mean I’m sorry February March um and let’s not forget the mixing and matching moving and grooving that Alex sopis had to do because of all the injuries last year it’s not um he knows um he knows what he’s doing so um and money is a factor because we just don’t have a lot of it but in terms of like the Dodgers and all of that stuff and the Willie Damas contract I really good for Willie but that’s a lot of money uh I would totally prefer a house on house on Kim or maybe Sasaki uh sort of we’ve been sort of connected to him so I think there’s a lot of a lot of stones that we’ve turned plus we don’t know who we’ve offered and if we offered anybody anything and uh I think that’s I think that’s important to realize um so I hope that you guys enjoyed this little different um different CMC chat
