it means or it would mean in the short term most likely taking a step back and it raises the question too of what kind of value you’d get because it’s only one [Music] year here we go right to Biz the inside scoop it’s Ken Rosenthal at the winter meetings is powered by MLB Rivals so Ken let’s start with the Astros Dana Brown did say at one point that Kyle Tucker was going to be an astro for life and he did not say that yesterday what are your thoughts on his and framber valdez’s trade chances it’s a really interesting situation and it’s difficult to predict how it’s going to go because it’s difficult to predict what owner Jim Crane might want here now if he wants to keep Tucker he’s going to have to pay him and the Astros have not paid free agent big money under Crane’s ownership remember Springer left kareah left bregman left likely to leave he’s not staying I don’t believe for what they’re offering they’re going to have to come significantly up to keep Alex bregman so given that history given that Kyle Tucker has one year remaining before he is a free agent and hits the open market if I were the Astros I would strongly consider trading and I would strongly consider trading Valdez now it means or it would mean in the short term most likely taking a step back and it raises the question too of what kind of value you’d get because it’s only one year look at the the Yankees for example Tucker of course would appeal to them he is a perfect replacement for stto he might not be the offensive player stto is but he’s a better base runner capable stealing 30 bases a much better Defender Gold Glove winner but it’s the same situation as it was with SoDo you’re trading significant pieces for one year of Kyle Tucker and then he might bolt on you so it’s a difficult move for them and yet it will be something that I’m sure they discussed I’m sure other teams discussed because Kyle Tucker is one of the most underrated players in the game and one of the best players in the game Ken did you get a discount for the smallest bed possible behind you because that bed looks like it’s about this big just saying AJ I’m not going to reveal the size of the bed it’s not as small as you think keep going okay hey I’m just saying it looks it looks a little small but if you’re the Astros Kyle Tucker and fber why not just trade them both if you’re gonna trade one why not trade them both and then if you’re gonna do one you got to do them both the way the way I’m looking at this because if you trade Kyle Tucker the fans are gonna be like oh that means we’re g to keep fber and then fber walks at the end of the year and you have nothing for either one so for me if I’m looking at this from the outside in you trade them both get as many pieces back you might have to take a step back for one year but then if you’re Dana Brown you say all right one year we took a step back we got significant prospects for these two guys and now boom we’re ready to go again gives you a chance to reset the luxury tax gives CH Jim Crane a chance to take a deep breath and then here we go again we’re going to try to be the Astros I agree AJ and I am always for teams being proactive in these kinds of situations the only issue here is what they would get in return and remember it’s one year of both guys they have high arbitration numbers that generally doesn’t give you a monster return in a trade it’s kind of the way it is at the same time Tucker in particular as I just said is one of the best players in the game fromer one of the better left handers for sure so it is something that in my view they should look at trade Presley as well they’ve talked about that Ryan Presley and you’re right kind of retool on the Fly I’ve been talking about this you guys know this with Toronto and asking why aren’t they doing this with Vlad Jr and Bo bashet and in the case of Toronto it seems that they’re going to make a push for Vlad Guerrero while the price just went up with SoDo his deal and in the case of Houston I don’t know that they’re going to make the push necessary for Tucker and certainly Valdez Valdez could be a $200 million pitcher Tucker could be a 00500 million player in the current market conditions so that is not an area Jim cran has gone to and if you’re not going to go there and if your team this season is not built to win the World Series and they may feel it is well then you maybe start to kind of spin the wheels a little bit and try to do some things so with another Lefty on the market the trade market with a little bit more time and a lot more strikeouts gr Garett crochet does this news bump his value up even more because it’s like oh I could have framber Valdez or does it dilute it a little bit they’re different guys Eric and when I say that not just different pitchers of course but also contractually much different positions fber like I said entering his final year before free agency crochet two more years and the price in salary is much lower he’s projected to make under $3 million in arbitration this year so from that perspective alone the extra year the lower salary crochet is the more valuable trade piece so it seems to me that they’re going to do well the White Soxs are for cruset they should do well for him and I don’t know when that deal is going to happen reported last night that the Mets and Yankees have been among the most aggressive the most aggressive from what I’ve heard so we’ll see where that goes but crochet is kind of a different profile than fber Valdez is there is there a most aggressive mindset when you look at the Mets and Yankees yes they want him bad the Phillies had you know possibly something in the works at the trade deadline didn’t want to put Andrew painer in is there more value in the aggressiveness or is there more value in the Red Sox having you know four of the top top 100 prospects that possibly they could dip into that’s a good question Eric and when I wrote that story last night with will salmon of the athletic we were careful to say as of Monday the Mets and Yankees were the most aggressive if the Red Sox want to get involved here yes they have perhaps the best pieces and they’re a team that can really do some things hold on a second guys y this is a good that and they can obviously get in the mix and trade for the players that they want but if you’re the Red Sox also maybe you spend in free agency and address the starting pitching need that way now to me they should still make a trade whether it’s for crochet or someone else because not all of these prospects are going to play for the 2025 or even 2026 Red Sox there’s too many of them there were not enough at bats to go around so some of their young players should be in play in my opinion but I don’t know exactly what they’re thinking my understanding and it’s been reported in Boston as well is that they have not been particularly aggressive on crochet or at least not as aggressive as some others that could change but it seems they’re focused on other things so Ken the other team I’m curious about in that article and actually really it spills into the other article that you put together with will salmon on your notes is the Baltimore Orioles this might be the softest thing I’ve read the entire offseason from the GM president baseball operations World owners obviously not spending we can make fun of all day but are they really that scared of losing one of their precious draft picks that it would prevent them from bringing on a starter and if so isn’t Garrick crochet the perfect guy to trade for but oh wait are they prospecting draft pick hugging too much good question really good question Scott and Mike Elias their GM came out yesterday and said we’re not reluctant to sign anybody any qualifying offer guy or non-qualifying offer guy but there are different prices that you will consider for these kinds of things my understanding is they are reluctant to sign a player who has a qualifying offer because for santand Deere and Corbin Burns they’re going to get two picks back and those picks are likely to be in the 30s so they’ll have three picks in the top 40 that’s really good no question about it and I can see why the Orioles want that that’s a very desirable position to be in at the same time they’ve got to say yes to somebody and I don’t know who it’s going to be maybe it’s a non-qualifying offer guy like avaldi or Jack flarity who had before maybe it’s a trade I don’t know where they’re going but I made the point in that column that the window is not open forever Gunnar Henderson has four more years of control that’s a long time I get it but he’s a Scott Boris client not likely to sign an extension you might get rushman for an extension but rushman didn’t have the greatest second half last year anyway so in my view the time is now for them they’ve got new ownership they should be ready to go obviously it’s difficult for them to spend with Boston and New York and Toronto we all understand that but I am curious to see what they do in the starting pitching Market they’ve made two moves so far they’re pretty happy with those moves Tyler O’Neal to be the replacement for santand good idea if Tyler O’Neal can stay healthy and Gary Sanchez to be the backup catcher maybe that’s a slight upgrade over James mccan okay that’s fine but you got to get the pitching they’ve got effin they’ve got Grayson Rodriguez they’ve got Kramer they need more all right Ken I have two questions for you and they’re pretty pretty simple who’s more likely to get traded first crochet lazardo or a ranger Suarez Alec bow from the Phillies I would say crochet because I’m not sure whether lazardo will even be traded and as for B and Suarez I don’t know that that will develop as quickly as crochet should the crochet Market is active right now boom it seems they’ve struggled to find a taker for him and Suarez I’m not sure exactly where they are with him so my guess would be crochet it’s only a guess AJ as the GMS often say oh it takes this one phone call and I could be proven wrong we do that a lot on this show so thank you Ken all right the second question is who’s gonna sign first and where if you do that a low the show why am I on I ask that question all the time also I don’t know I don’t run the show Canen I just ask the questions okay go ahead AJ who’s gonna sign first Corbin Burns we haven’t heard a lot about or Max freed and and as an edited bonus maybe you can be proven right where wait what was the part second part of that where where okay well I’m not going to be right because I’m always wrong according to you so why bother guessing I would I was hoping you would know as The Insider I would think both those guys come off the board Maybe even this week and it would not surprise me at all as for where that’s really difficult to say Burns does he want to go back to San Francisco where he went to college in the Bay Area will they pay him that’s a good question we know the Yankees Red Sox Blue Jays and to an extent the Orioles are on burns and those teams in my view are going to end up with freedom Burns if the Giants don’t I don’t know who else might be in the mix maybe Texas but Texas has Financial questions right now their payroll is not exactly clear on what it’s going to be so that’s not really an answer but I’m not going to give you an answer when I don’t know the answer AJ because that would be kind of stupid wouldn’t it that would be that would be I appreciate I appreciate when you go back at AJ I do appreciate that but I need to know Devin Williams is there anybody that is a possible trade that could be sued by more I feel like teams are capped by gar crochet because of how many prospects and how much value Devin Williams is an elite closer that’s most likely on a trade block is there any push from certain teams for him he is on the trade block one more year of control we reported last night upwards of 10 teams interested in him and really if you’re any team you could afford Devin Williams even a mid-market team can afford him even a small Market team could afford him because I think next year he projects at around 8 million $9 million so that’s a guy who I expect will get moved the Brewers are under some payroll restrictions from my understanding and where he goes I don’t know but I would not really be surprised by any outcome there hey Ken do you think there’s anyone smiling more than flatty Jr after the Juan stto signing I mean we listened to Fair territory yesterday but just quick followup to finish with the stto sweep Stakes I wanted to go to the Blue Jays I mean not only should vlat be happy because he’s going to be at a similar age next off season he’s an elite bat and he’s not known for his glove neither is SoDo right not known for his speed um so that plus the fact that he saw his own team offer a huge chunk of cash to Juan stto vlat and Tucker both should be quite happy right because well some teams will paint stto as an aberration and oh it was a perfect storm and all all that the bottom line is that number is out there now 765 and if you’re Vladimir Guerrero or you’re T Kyle Tucker you’re thinking okay I don’t need 765 I’m not worth 765 necessarily I’m not a generational player but I’m a pretty good player a really good player and I’m G to hit free agency and I’m G to do really well now with the Blue Jays if they go through all these machinations with different players different free agents and ultimately don’t come up with what they want even if they do I expect they’re going to make a run at Vladimir Guerrero Jr but if I’m Vlad Jr why aren’t I testing the market why wouldn’t I do that have 30 teams bid the Blue Jays can still bid then all good and he is a first baseman and first baseman generally don’t do as well as players at other positions regardless of whether Juan stto is a good defensive alfield or an elite defensive outfielder he’s an outfielder and first base has been kind of a depressed mark market now for quite some time it was a better Market when Miguel Cabrera and Albert phol and Joey vad in the early 2010s were getting their monster deals lately no so that will hold him back a little bit but if he puts together another good year and remember he had a great year last year then two average years for him the year before the years before then I expect he will be in serious demand and yes we’ll get a great deal yeah at this point I mean your season in way I guess you go to free agency unless they go absolutely nuts yep that makes sense Ken thank you appreciate it Ken enjoy your bed for ants we made a school for ants keep it up AJ you’re so funny thank
