[SPEAKER_02]: Doc, how's it going, bud?

[SPEAKER_03]: It's going great, man.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is my tool shed debut, man.

[SPEAKER_03]: It feels cozy in this shed.

[SPEAKER_03]: I gotta say, we almost look like we're almost like we're in the same room.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like you could imagine, there's a little bit of shadow over here, a little bit of white over here, and you got something out there.

[SPEAKER_03]: And if you're not watching folks, you're missing some beautiful backdrops.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's all I can tell you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, mine's always pretty somber here.

[SPEAKER_02]: I got my desk lamp on usually is my the overhead lights are just two brights, especially at this time of night where it's about quarter to nine clock on the east coast.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I like to have a little a little darker in here at night time, but yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: lot of stuff to get to trade deadline recap, you know, for my dynasty slant, I mean, this means a lot of trade deadline shows going on.

[SPEAKER_02]: I better as I want to them in myself on beat the shift, but this one's got a little dynasty slant to it and we'll get into from the prospects that were traded.

[SPEAKER_02]: So there's several fun prospects, including one really fun prospect that was traded, which I think was the surprise of the day on trade deadline day, but [SPEAKER_02]: Before we get into all of those moves, I'm going to get the housekeeping out of the way here.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's start with that kind of big surprising move of the day, Mason Miller and JP Sears heading over to the San Diego Padres.

[SPEAKER_02]: That wasn't the surprising part, but the surprising part was that Leo de Vries going back along with three pitching prospects, right in net, Henry Bias, [SPEAKER_02]: And at Warniel, Nuneas, going to the athletics.

[SPEAKER_02]: So didn't really expect the Rees to get moved at the deadline.

[SPEAKER_02]: And San Diego, Padre's Twitter went into a frenzy after they saw the Rees was in the deal.

[SPEAKER_02]: I saw a lot of people not liking it, but I think they kind of calmed down through the rest of the day because Asia Pro War was once again extremely active as he always is every deadline.

[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, Leo de Vries now a member of the athletics.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you got to feel nice little upgrade in the, you know, future home ballpark when time he's up.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe he'll be up when they're still in Sacramento, but if not, it'll be the new Vegas ballpark.

[SPEAKER_02]: Number seven, and like off the charts with the breeze this year, you know, eight homeruns, eight steals, and eighty five games, two, forty eight, three, five, six, four, twelve slash line, thirteen and a half percent walk rate, circuit rate right around twenty percent, but then you remember that he's only eighteen years old in high A right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: as I believe the youngest player at the level.

[SPEAKER_02]: So top ten prospect for probably the last year plus now, the Reese has been considered pretty much universally.

[SPEAKER_02]: So what were your thoughts on this deal?

[SPEAKER_02]: The Reese is going back and what do you think the Reese becomes long-term doc?

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this was something on the on deck podcast.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm cross promoting right now, cross books live.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was on that with Nate Rasmussen and Drew Wheeler and they said, hey, do you think Owen Casey's going to be the biggest prospect move at the deadline?

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, yeah, I guess, but then again, one of these coastal big market teams could easily just make a huge splash.

[SPEAKER_03]: We're not gonna see it coming, but I guess we should see it coming.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how you could be a podris fan and be surprised by anything at the deadline anymore.

[SPEAKER_03]: Could you imagine how different this team would be looking?

[SPEAKER_03]: If they kept, let's just say they didn't make any moves the last few years.

[SPEAKER_03]: This would just be a completely different franchise, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: It James Wood, you know, CJ Abrams, like it's like, what?

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe, I don't know, it's interesting.

[SPEAKER_03]: And hey, I love it.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's aggressive.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's, it makes the game more fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure if I would necessarily want my team to be so crazy with their farm.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's good to grow some from home, but LDV looks like a stud.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's got some more development to do his contact.

[SPEAKER_03]: Rates were dropping a little bit this year, but he's super young.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I'm not worried.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I think he's been doing well so far.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't really know when they're moving, when the athletics are moving to Vegas.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm not sure it's that big of a downgrade.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sacramento will be fun if you can make it up there in time.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think he starts getting hot now.

[SPEAKER_03]: All he has to do is get hot by the end of next year.

[SPEAKER_03]: There'll still be in Sacramento and maybe he's helping you.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he's helping you win a dynasty championship.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, he's going to be in a lineup with guys like Jacob Wilson, Nick Kurtz, maybe Brent Wilker still.

[SPEAKER_03]: Soldiers' jumps having like kind of like he started off like we're going to use the next.

[SPEAKER_03]: Soldiers from the next fifty home run guy guaranteed.

[SPEAKER_03]: Now we've almost forgotten about him, but he's actually had a quite in between like a good season.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's someone solid for sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so I'm yeah, I just I think LDB this guy is the limit.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure if he'll ever be like a forty forty guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure if he's that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure if he needs to be that, but I think he's looks like a really high quality player and that's good enough, especially in that park and that line of [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the one area I wonder about with the Vries long term is, assuming he feels out a little bit more, so I'll get some projection on that frame.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Izzy Moore, you know, like a fifty, like a fifteen inch still guy is opposed to like twenty plus.

[SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time, that probably means more power, you know, moving forwards.

[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he's a twenty five thirty plus home run guy, especially in that, you know, future home ballpark.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, Vries looks like an absolute stud and now, you know, the big thing with him, [SPEAKER_02]: you know, where does he play long term obviously Jacob Wilson, you know, the short stop right there in Oakland, I'm going to set it with the athletics, but does that mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: The reason is going over to second third, I think a lot of it depends on how the body progresses.

[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he's not, you know, he's a better fit third, maybe second.

[SPEAKER_02]: I get to assume it's one of those two spots.

[SPEAKER_02]: We shall see, but I mean, he's a stud or should it could be a stud at any position no matter what the eligibility is next to his name, but [SPEAKER_02]: yet that the power still coming along such a sweet left-handed swing very advanced for his age so you know some people are like with him and walk out there like oh [SPEAKER_02]: The numbers aren't, you know, blown you away, like, chronograph is putting up in same numbers, but, you know, Walcott and the breeze had, you know, they've been fine, but not like super sexy numbers, but I don't really care about that.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the skills are there.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're very, each of them are very young for the level.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, the breeze, no doubt, top ten prospect, you know, probably top five for fantasy at this point.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, definitely looks like a stud long term, but definitely have some intrigue here.

[SPEAKER_02]: With a couple of the arms going back, you know, breaking net and buy it's especially do you have any intrigue and any of the arms that went along with the breeze going to the athletic stock.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, going that way.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we talked a bit before the show.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not as big of a prospector as I once was.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, thirty-teamers.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I have to stay on the ball a little bit.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I did some research into these guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I do like what Bias brings to the table in terms of command.

[SPEAKER_03]: He seems like a command artist.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he's not going to knock you away.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's not going to knock you out with the strikeouts.

[SPEAKER_03]: He needs to put some meat on those bones at six three one seventy five.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I like, I think I like that better than maybe the volatility of a braided net who, you know, is looking at the profile as a history of serious command issues, but maybe he'll be an electric reliever.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you see, was that there in in twenty twenty four, you know, or sorry, that's, I got my glasses on double a last year at a nine point six walks per nine.

[SPEAKER_03]: That was only, that was only four innings, my bad, but [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's been over five walks per nine for pretty much most of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: If not all of this moderately career.

[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I mean, Miserowski's proof that you can change that.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I don't think everyone's Miserowski.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, not not many are, not many can throw ninety six mile an hour sliders.

[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, there's definitely some intrigue.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I like not a good bit, but yeah, you mentioned that there's there's some command and control issues.

[SPEAKER_02]: And he's probably, you know, as for an average to below average, and both of those, but you know, it's a good, you know, [SPEAKER_02]: was four-page mix for three pretty solid pitches fastball and both as breaking balls are solid and you can miss bats but yeah walk rates over ten percent this year and so but yeah I think I have net in the two fifty range of approximately rankings by as is like that in three to three fifty so what kind of solid arms in those deeper formats but yeah obviously the the big name here is the breeze [SPEAKER_02]: But Mason or now in San Diego, and also, you know, they still had, you know, people thought they were going to be getting rid of Robert Suarez, but he's still there.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't think I'm great on Miller.

[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think it's a downgrade on Miller, or I think it's more of a downgrade here on Suarez, even I still love Suarez, but you got to think that, you know, they, they just gave up debris is to get Mason Miller that you got to imagine it got to give him at least the leading guy in that bullpen.

[SPEAKER_03]: Not yet.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's about to cut you off.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know we don't, you know, I'm, I'm a bulldoze.

[SPEAKER_03]: You got to, you can't let it happen.

[SPEAKER_03]: Swara has got the first shot.

[SPEAKER_03]: So, and he's got the most saves in major league baseball.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think he would be sending the wrong message, call me old school.

[SPEAKER_03]: But to take out the best closer in the league in terms of a guy who's getting it done, cumulatively, you know, the quantity.

[SPEAKER_03]: And the quality has been there, too.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's had a couple rough stretches, but what this means for Swara is essentially [SPEAKER_03]: You can't have those rough stretches for more if you'll have your leash just got a lot shorter.

[SPEAKER_03]: And Mason Miller will be there breathing down his neck.

[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think about this?

[SPEAKER_03]: Turn it around on you, Mr.

Host.

[SPEAKER_03]: Mason Miller, I'm hearing rumblings that the podries might be considering converting him back to a starter next year.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that'd be a terrible idea with all his injury history.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, is it really worth it to, you're going to trade LDV just to blow this guy's arm out again, keep him out for a couple of years.

[SPEAKER_02]: I've heard that, too, and I also hate it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't think Miller, I mean, you, you get to imagine that, yeah, there's a small path where it's like, oh, he could be like another midget rescue type.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sure, but I just don't think he has the durability to start.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's never shown [SPEAKER_02]: durability to handle dirty plus starts in the season.

[SPEAKER_02]: And he's been one of the best relievers of baseball since he came up.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, he's been a little up and down this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I don't, I won't be surprised what they do it, but I don't think that's the right move.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think he'd probably some fun stretches as a starter, but I think you're, you see him on the IL few times and just being, it's really maddening to roster.

[SPEAKER_02]: I hope they keep them as a reliever, as his him and Suarez, as you know, back in with that bullpin along with Jason Adom, Adrian Morayon, that's a really good bullpin.

[SPEAKER_03]: Just disgusting.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, as you may be, I mean, I didn't realize I forgot that Suarez at that first day, Bob, on Friday.

[SPEAKER_02]: So kind of see how this, you know, plays that moving forward, but you know, absolute, you know, stud their millers.

[SPEAKER_02]: I hope they keep them in the bullpin.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think one of the top five were so relievers and baseball, always for fancy purposes.

[SPEAKER_02]: And as a starter, yeah, that's this.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's a scary thoughts.

[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of risk in doing that.

[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see, but they did use some starters long term.

[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see what they do, but some of they have anybody else coming up through the system here with that are for good pitching prospects, because they kind of traded them all away.

[SPEAKER_02]: And they're various deals here, including this next deal with the Baltimore Orioles.

[SPEAKER_02]: They sent prospects, Boston Bateman, Tyson neighbors, those are pitchers.

[SPEAKER_02]: Cobb High Tower, Victor Figueroa, Brandon Butterworth, and Tanner Smith's six prospects going to Baltimore for Ryan O'Hurn and Ramon, Laryano.

[SPEAKER_02]: Both of those that will be guys in the Hurn and Laryano, having pretty solid years.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, O'Hurn was a first time all star, which was kind of fun there because [SPEAKER_02]: I was kind of like though her and she was like, he's a good dude.

[SPEAKER_02]: You saw him in his wife, you know, on the, you know, the red carpet, so to speak at the All-Shargay and just, you know, how they were talking about being blessed and cherished in the moment.

[SPEAKER_02]: So good, good for the Lord, the O'Hourne family, but O'Hourne slashing, two, seventy, nine, three, seventy, four, fifty, five, thirteen bombs, and three hundred and seventy play appearances this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: And Larry, I don't have any nice little bounce back season as well, two, eighty, eighty, fifty, one, five, thirty, five, [SPEAKER_02]: Sixteen homeruns, four steels, forty eight runs scored in three hundred and two plate appearances.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it's kind of both pretty solid veterans here both.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think both the thirty one on a laurel's thirty one.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, herne thirty two.

[SPEAKER_02]: So any interest, I give you a contending team.

[SPEAKER_02]: right now dock and you kind of need of the need of the bat here to help solidify your your playoff push or your title push.

[SPEAKER_02]: Would you be interested in going after either oh her and or larry on on the trade front?

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, this is interesting.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think both these trades are great examples of real-life baseball trades versus dynasty or fantasy baseball trades.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like no one's doing either of these trades, you know, in fantasy, no one's trading L.D.V.

[SPEAKER_03]: for Mason Miller.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, this is it shows you the power of the reliever in real life baseball closing or not and then this trade is funny because Ryan or her and Gavin cheats they just feel like the same guy to me.

[SPEAKER_03]: It gets like perfect.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think those two so sheets [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, her and Gloria, no, they're going to be doing this three-headed dragon thing probably on DH and the outfield, maybe she gets some first base appearances.

[SPEAKER_03]: But basically, if any of them slump, you know, you can start just riding the hot hand.

[SPEAKER_03]: And this is a, this is a move you're going to make in like a thirty teamer, like you would add a guy like that.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so in your deep leagues, maybe these guys, these bats are targets, twenty to thirty teamers in terms of like if it's you're at the trade deadline yourself right now, [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I don't think I'm rushing out there in more medium to shallow leagues to get these guys, whether it's through trader off waivers, just because I mean, yes, it's a fun line up, but you just might not be reliant.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can't really rely on them for playing time.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm really, you know, I'm sure you're going to get into it, but I just love what the what the Orioles did this deadline.

[SPEAKER_03]: They did what they needed to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: They understood the assignment.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they usually do.

[SPEAKER_02]: For the most part, I mean, I'm sure Baltimore fans would, you know, kind of scoff of that, because they haven't really gone out and gotten pitching when they were contending the last couple of years, but I think they made the right moves this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and they also go back and on the move, we'll talk about later on.

[SPEAKER_02]: They straighted around three in Dominguez for Geron Watts Brown, so that they obviously are out of it this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: Everything's gone wrong for them this year, especially when the pitching front injuries, just poor performances from most of their good players.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they definitely needed to make some moves here and made them kind of restock the farbiz system.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's some pitching prospects here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think Boston Bateman going back is fairly intriguing.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's a big variety.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's a six.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's going to be big lefty.

[SPEAKER_02]: Six seven, two, fifty.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's like a landslind sized dude and he's only nineteen years old, but [SPEAKER_02]: There's some upside there, but and Victor figured it was a pretty solid season as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy that's like a borderline.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think I have near.

[SPEAKER_02]: My top two hundred overall for my prospect rankings here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now, he's at twelve of them runs five steals, three sixteen, four twenty five eighty two and two hundred and eighty one play appearances this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was in low A for San Diego and they bumped him up to high A since going to Baltimore just played the the couple games so far, but those are two intriguing guys if you have like, you know, a league were two hundred fifty plus prospects are rostered, but that's really the major league guys.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think both [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, her and Laryon, I'll even like, you know, Gavin sheets that you mentioned, those are all just solid low, you know, not by low, but like sneaky value targets because it's not going to take a lot to get either of them or any of them because, you know, you look at, oh, they're, you know, they're in the thirties, you know, that try to three at the beginning of an age, you know, it's like, you know, the kiss of death and fantasy, it seems like, but [SPEAKER_02]: And these guys are that, you know, semi-productive, they can help.

[SPEAKER_02]: The opposite are going to be, you know, studs for you, leading you to a championship, but you've got to fill in your team with the ohurns, with the larry animal, the sheets, types.

[SPEAKER_02]: If you get a couple of these guys here and there, you're probably going to be pretty solid if you're mixing them in with all of your higher upside guys, whether they be, you know, the veterans or the, well, the young guys.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I think if you can get them for a cheap price, I think all three of those guys, especially ohurns and larry, I don't hear our pretty solid targets for Dynasty.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Seattle was pretty active.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'd love to give one shout out for the prospects there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I want to give one shout out.

[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, Boston Bateman, I saw him at six eight.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's not a little midget at six seven, bro.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's got all six eight.

[SPEAKER_02]: I sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's got three pitches, he's a teenager, really, like that's the kind of like, that's the front line starter potential that the Orioles desperately need.

[SPEAKER_03]: Cobb, high tower, he's a scrappy guy, he's a grinder, but the one guy I wanted to really shout out who I think a lot of folks are overlooking is Tyson neighbors.

[SPEAKER_03]: Go watch this guy throw a baseball, he's finally puts his whole body into it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Thank God, I think this is the kind of guy where you actually draft a reliever to be a reliever because you know, it would not work out in any other way.

[SPEAKER_03]: Every picture I was trying to get up him from my article a day.

[SPEAKER_03]: His face is just like, and he is.

[SPEAKER_03]: Go look his numbers on your spare time folks.

[SPEAKER_03]: Tyson neighbors is going to use electric.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's got like a one point eight five ER Ray right now.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think I think at double a and I believe this is his first full year.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think this is his first year in pro ball.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's gonna be the Orioles closer of the future and I don't know if anyone's like he I wouldn't be shocked if you threw him in there right now He's their best reliever.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's a crazy statement, but like I think he's really good and I take the Orioles needed So that's why I had to go back on that one and also shout out to the potter is getting Nester Cortez That's a sneaky one.

[SPEAKER_03]: He might win them a playoff game.

[SPEAKER_03]: You never know [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you got to love Nester.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's been quite the same of the last couple of years, but still a really fun guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, they needed some more pitching depth, and he absolutely provides that for sure.

[SPEAKER_02]: And yet, net neighbors so far this year, in thirty two appearances, almost pretty much split between high A and double A, forty three and two thirds innings total.

[SPEAKER_02]: He has a one eighty five ERA and a thirty seven and a half percent strike a rate only a one fifty five batting average against there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely a very exciting arm.

[SPEAKER_02]: A really good curve ball too.

[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't like blow your way with velocity, but you know, the second area is the slider in the curve are really good.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it definitely a really fun back.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was a fourth rounder last year for the pod raise in the twenty four draft.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it definitely so intriguing names going there to to Baltimore over a couple of different deals.

[SPEAKER_02]: But Seattle here was pretty, you know, [SPEAKER_02]: getting, you know, they're good.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is straight to the line.

[SPEAKER_02]: They've got two bats here in Josh Nailer and A.

O'Hannieu Swars, both of which I really wanted for the red socks, but they both go to Seattle for pretty light returns.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a little bit of intrigue going to Arizona here, but [SPEAKER_02]: Suarez having a phenomenal year, thirty six home runs right now, two forty three three thirteen five fifty nine slash line also has sixty six runs scored and how many are we are eighty seven RBI so he's already you know up to where he usually his usual range is like eighty five to you know one oh five he's already in that range with two months to go you know hitting for [SPEAKER_02]: at decent enough average, not terrible.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of always been like that, two, forty, two, fifty range.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then Josh Niel where I think might dispute the most underrated of the the top first baser in the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's rejected the top ten guy for the most part, but no one ever really talks about him because it's not a gody slash line.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's not a sexy profile, but he's got a twelve-one run, seventeen steals this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: After thirty one hundred runs and six deals last year, flashing two eighty four three fifty one four thirty four this year, you know, doesn't strike out much only a thirteen point seven percent, you know, strike out rates nine and point three percent walk rate.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's a two pretty good bats there, but they are going to more of a more of a pitch of friendly ballpark.

[SPEAKER_02]: uh...

in what they call it they're not he mobile park i think it is now i i still call it my brain so says safe call my brain so says all of the old school uh...

ball park names but that's what what do you thought's here on nailer and swars in Seattle duck [SPEAKER_03]: Now you can't tell me that Houston's not been it made this park.

[SPEAKER_03]: I can't tell me like I had to look at what I'm taking.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can die can park now, die can park.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it does not have a ring to it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'll tell you that much.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, if it wasn't during my nostalgic period of my life, it's not it does not the real thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: And as anyone ever said, you kind of look like Tyler Lockler or at least like you have that vibe.

[SPEAKER_03]: You got like that big white guy vibe.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Man, no, I've never gotten that.

[SPEAKER_03]: You got beard in your, in your white guy and you probably swing a, you got, you got, you got nice bass speed, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, but more, but my, my, my, my, my heyday was all right.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so luckily, I've been quietly, I've never really, like I haven't been super high on law clear, but I've always liked him and I liked his skill set.

[SPEAKER_03]: But part of the reason is exactly what we're talking about here is the Seattle factor.

[SPEAKER_03]: Playing time has been an issue, but also the park.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he's got like thirty to forty home run necessarily power.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's got twenty five home run power.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think it might have been this weird, like maybe low twenties in Seattle though, maybe even high teens.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, maybe [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever the babies are, they're gone.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to Arizona now, which gosh, remember that used to be even better to hit there, but everywhere almost everywhere is better than Seattle.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm excited for Laugh Clear.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's already getting a shot in the starting lineup.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is fantastic for him.

[SPEAKER_03]: Looks like he's actually, yeah, look, good.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's breaking out.

[SPEAKER_03]: He got two hits today and a stolen base.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's can't be right.

[SPEAKER_03]: It says it's right.

[SPEAKER_03]: It says today, he's got a stolen base and a caught stolen base.

[SPEAKER_03]: This guy, this guy runnin' wild.

[SPEAKER_03]: Tyler Lockley were running wild in Arizona.

[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's happened in twenty twenty.

[SPEAKER_03]: Tyler Lockley.

[SPEAKER_03]: So the reason I like this guy is because he's got great fast speed and he takes a nice walk.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so he's got like that.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's not just a free swing or that's what I said about not sure if it's the same profile, but that's what I said about Kyle Stowers.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, when you combine [SPEAKER_03]: like electric bat speed and you know when you hit the ball it goes a long way if you can just give me some kind of plate discipline discipline then you know you we got something there August and Ramirez he doesn't strike out that much okay so then like that's really exciting like there's something there like Joe Adele doesn't really have anything there at this point like you know like it's still [SPEAKER_03]: That's why I didn't, I found a hard time buying it and even when he was crushing it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I picked him up and something's where he was there.

[SPEAKER_03]: I knew what he was going to do for a week or two.

[SPEAKER_03]: But lock clear.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think there could be something really underrated here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he'll be the next Josh Nailer or something like that, which is pretty lofty comparison.

[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I think I agree that Swar as far as his power is pretty freaky.

[SPEAKER_03]: So he'll probably still bash bombs out there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Nailer is probably going to take a nice little fantasy hit here out of magic.

[SPEAKER_03]: Just I don't know I wouldn't be shocking to see him like this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Have these like fifteen home run seasons if he's going to stick around and see Addle.

[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see and he's still a good ball player, but that's an issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: I would say it's not really involved in this trade at all, but Colt Emerson, you know, he's just starting to build up some power in the minor leagues, but I can't help but think like he's going to have another journey again if he makes it all the way to Seattle.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's just like are we going to see what he can really do for fantasy purposes right away?

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so yeah, I think it's I think it's a great real life deal for both sides though.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited for law clear.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I think although as a I'm because I was like I'm ripping on nailer and Suarez or or just Seattle in general.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not like you can't be successful in Seattle.

[SPEAKER_03]: They've had home run hitters there.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's just one guy seems to call Riley probably never heard of them, but I think that's a good example of why Suarez won't be nerfed too much, but I think nailer might be based on a ripped doubles.

[SPEAKER_03]: They'll still be good.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think this is great for their team.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, absolutely.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of right there with, yeah, I think this will affect, you know, the, you know, the average who above average power guy more than an old fact, the plus or better power guy talking about obviously nailer and swara is there.

[SPEAKER_02]: So if people have talked about how, you know, swara's stats weren't at great and see out of whatever.

[SPEAKER_02]: That was years ago.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's a different guy now.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not like terrible different, but that was still a few years ago.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not only putting too much stock in numbers from three, four years ago and Seattle for him, but in fact that he is just absolutely matched in this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: If it wasn't for obviously judged doing his thing, Raleigh doing his thing, you know, you might be talking about Thor as being the kind of could be leading the league in home runs.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's like fifth in the league in home runs.

[SPEAKER_02]: right now, but yeah, I think slight downgraded for nailer and maybe you could say I slight downgraded for swars as well, but I don't make it to be like a big drop off.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's got what I like to call big boy power.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that usually transcends most ball parks there, but [SPEAKER_02]: a lot more than most of the [SPEAKER_02]: plenty of opportunity in Arizona, as you mentioned, and he's out in a good year, in a team home runs, eighteen steels in AAA to comment before the trade, three, sixteen, four, one, five, forty-two slash on, and he's far from a burner, but this guy that he likes to run.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then that's part of the equation.

[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen guys that you know are below average runners, still give you some steels.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's probably more like a eight to ten steel guy as opposed to a twenty plus as the way he's been pacing this year, but if you can give you like eight to ten steels, I think he could be a [SPEAKER_02]: upper teens home run guy maybe low twenty some years.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a it's above average power.

[SPEAKER_02]: I look at his metrics and triple a it was a ninety point two mile an hour average.

[SPEAKER_02]: Exit velocity.

[SPEAKER_02]: Forty four and a half percent hard hit rate in a nine and a half percent.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're all right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Contact sales are right on average.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you know, could you be like a two sixty twenty ten-ish type.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think that definitely is a possibility here, and that's maybe not a starter for yet like first base, but could that be like a decent corner in field type area?

[SPEAKER_02]: I think so.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think that's a pretty, pretty sticky, you know, people looking at the big names going to Seattle, but this frees up some time for Locklear.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he's a good buyer right now, because I think the value is in that super high in him right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you can get them for a pretty reasonable price tag in Dinosaur Lakes for sure.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right, a couple, several more big moves here.

[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to broke up the show.

[SPEAKER_02]: Big moves, not so big moves, and then all the reliever moves here.

[SPEAKER_02]: We'll keep going here with some of the other big moves.

[SPEAKER_02]: Ryan McMahon going to, you know, this was a little bit, you know, what, almost a week ago now.

[SPEAKER_02]: But kind of kicked off.

[SPEAKER_02]: I looked at everything over the last week.

[SPEAKER_02]: So a couple of those older Charlie Nailer was like a week or a week and a half ago as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: Ryan McMahon going to the New York Yankees for a Griffin hearing and Josh grows to pitching projects going back to the Rocky.

[SPEAKER_02]: So so long to them for any type of hype.

[SPEAKER_02]: Griffin hearing was getting some hype, but you know, not anymore.

[SPEAKER_02]: But Ryan McMahon, you know, obviously the the name to talk about here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Not having the greatest season on the surface, but you know, I think McMahon is a good buy right now before he really starts getting going here.

[SPEAKER_02]: with the Yankees because the metrics under the hood pretty solid this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's hitting the ball hard.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's a ninety three and a half mile in our average EV run a fifty fifty percent hard hit rate twelve and a half percent barrel rate and he pulls the ball in the year is just a sixty percent air rate eighteen percent pull air rate.

[SPEAKER_02]: So as a lefty Yankees stadium.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's usually pretty good.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he's actually a solid buy right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: Use that kind of bad to twenty three three twenty three ninety slash on to your advantage because I think he could be a pretty solid if you're attending team, you know, I think Ryan could be a pretty low low post value target for you, but what are your thoughts here on Ryan McMahon doc?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it doesn't really get me going, but it's also easy to forget that this guy at one point in his career gave us well twice, but he cracked the ADR BI threshold.

[SPEAKER_03]: He gave us an eighty six RBICs in the twenty three home runs eighty three RBICs in the twenty four home runs the reason we don't remember it that well is because it was twenty twenty one in twenty nineteen.

[SPEAKER_03]: God feels like he's been around [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, he feels like he's been around for other, but he also feels kind of young still, which I guess that's why he's thirty, which is right in between, is right in this prime.

[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I'm not saying anything revolutionary, but yeah, as metrics are fantastic, if you look back, they've kind of consistently been this way.

[SPEAKER_03]: He hits them all really hard, and maybe he hasn't gotten up credit for that in the past, but it's probably because he strikes out way too much.

[SPEAKER_03]: He actually does what I was just talking about.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's got some great ability to smack a ball, [SPEAKER_03]: And he also takes a walk.

[SPEAKER_03]: And he actually this year hasn't been chasing very much.

[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, maybe I don't know, man, like this wouldn't shock me.

[SPEAKER_03]: The thing that wouldn't shock me is if the Rockies and I want you to sit down for this, the Rockies might not be the best at developing talent.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so, hey, you know, maybe maybe not, but [SPEAKER_03]: is could be situation where the Yankees I would say are a better organization, frankly, historically than the Colorado Rockies.

[SPEAKER_03]: And speaking very respectfully and very, and on maybe understanding the situation, maybe one of the most winningest organizations of all time might be able to unlock something more than the Colorado Rockies.

[SPEAKER_03]: rooting for your Colorado, your better, it's better for baseball if you're better.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I hope you do it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hope you turn things around.

[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, Ryan McMahon, if it's going to happen, I guess it's better to do it at thirty than any, any years later, maybe you'll have a little career Renaissance here.

[SPEAKER_03]: It would be a fun story.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not pursuing him, but yeah, I mean, if I got him as I got throw an offer at the deadline and I needed some depth and a deeper league.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, that's a fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's like an upside play.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is not necessarily a guy where you know what you're going to get actually because of this [SPEAKER_03]: He's never played anywhere but Colorado.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that's not, uh, I don't think there's like revolutionaries.

[SPEAKER_02]: They think he's our better organization than the Rockies.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's almost like, you know, we talk about like FYPD, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: Like this year, Ethan Holiday going to the Colorado.

[SPEAKER_02]: You're like, oh, like, one half of the brain's like, ooh, that bat potentially in cores, yay.

[SPEAKER_02]: at the half of the brain's like, well, Colorado's development isn't the best.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's tough.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's tough.

[SPEAKER_02]: It can't sit it out to some degree, but yeah, I think it could be a solid veteran there for the Yankees.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, if you think he should be like, thirty-five, honestly, but he's thirty years old.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was, yeah, he was drafted way back, twenty-thirteen.

[SPEAKER_02]: What?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I forgot to use a high school guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: If you was a good guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's insane.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you use a high school guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: I second round pick in twenty thirteen, but I'm going to just want to use a collegiate guy, but I guess not, but yeah, it dropped at twelve years ago now.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, he's been around better on for a bit, so only thirty years old.

[SPEAKER_02]: Still still solid that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, a twenty homer seasons in there actually pretty consistently like a two forty-ish twenty-ish guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, that's definitely has some value for sure.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right, moving on here, keep it in the American League East.

[SPEAKER_02]: Shane Bieber going from Cleveland to the Toronto Blue Jays and exchange for Cal Steven, who's been one of the the bigger pop-up pitching prospects in the little miners this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: But we'll start with Bieber.

[SPEAKER_02]: He has she had another rehab outing this afternoon.

[SPEAKER_02]: Looks pretty good.

[SPEAKER_02]: He goes up to, it was sixty two pitches I want to say.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you gotta imagine he's probably one or two more rehab outings in Triple A before he joins.

[SPEAKER_02]: Toronto obviously a former Sion winner you know back in [SPEAKER_02]: I believe it's what, twenty twenty the short and year he won this side young and then obviously has been out since the second game he started last year.

[SPEAKER_02]: So have a seen him in about what eighteen nineteen months or so he's thirty years old as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: So obviously a lot of upside here with Bieber a lot of risk as well given the you know he's coming off a major injury here.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know where you at on Bieber these days dog is he got your still intrigued by for dynasty or is he got too risky for you to want to go after.

[SPEAKER_03]: Now, I don't know.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's one of the weirdest players to evaluate.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's just turned thirty.

[SPEAKER_03]: He was twenty nine two months ago, which again, it feels like he should be a thirty four at a minimum.

[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, he's still like pretty young, especially for abilities.

[SPEAKER_03]: You guys can fish to their forty sometimes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Imagine that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Imagine like thirty five to forty.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's when he finally stays healthy, Charlie Mortonera.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe so maybe if that makes straight up for dynasty purposes, I could be if you got a discount on for dirt sheep.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's been different guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's been different profiles throughout his career.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's had that electric strike out stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then he kind of had to reimagine himself and it worked out for a season.

[SPEAKER_03]: Twenty-twenty we had it, you know.

[SPEAKER_03]: uh...

two point eight eight e r a the next year jumped to three point eight so that's a difference and frankly his profile is kind of the same like the strikeouts for dipping down both years and yeah it's just like who are we gonna get which version are we gonna get i don't know it seems to me someone always likes beaver a little bit more than i do they're willing to pay a little bit more for them uh...

because again like this is a weird profile two fourteen innings pitch in twenty nineteen and then you know kind of you know goes away but the next season was twenty twenty so we don't really know what happened [SPEAKER_03]: twenty one then you know he doesn't go up until he doesn't go up to two hundred again until twenty twenty two which two hundred ending sounds almost like four in these days we didn't like have that anymore uh...

hey guys just like maybe we just show with this guy uh...

because then he did one twenty eight and then [SPEAKER_03]: and then now we're waiting for him to come back again.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't know what's going to happen.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully they can like maybe just have some moderation.

[SPEAKER_03]: He seems to either do under almost like a hundred or under a hundred and then they just jack him up to two hundred right away.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's got, yeah, he has no season in the major leagues between one hundred twenty eight innings and two hundred innings.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's a man of extremes.

[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, that's just a long way of saying.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm interested at the right price, but I have no idea what's going on.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, now he's been a harder one to ranked because of you kind of hit it like there's a wide range of potential outcomes here.

[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen Bieber be really good.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then obviously we haven't seen him pitch it all for the last year and a half.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I am intrigued the the Velo is up a little bit right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: And as we have outing today on Sunday afternoon, [SPEAKER_02]: uh...

foreseamer average ninety three one uh...

it was ninety two uh...

last year in his two starts so uh...

that's a little bit encouraging because he was uh...

more than ninety three ninety four when he was like kind of peak beaver use word like ninety one ninety two last couple years so nice to see that's up and you know cutter slider curve change up used though and all all four of the secondary to go along with that foreseamer and yeah he was at sixty two out pitches today so [SPEAKER_02]: Probably not again.

[SPEAKER_02]: Another rehab outing or two, but I'm intrigued to some degree, but I think similarly to what you said, I feel like there's always gonna be somebody or more than one person in my league that likes him more than I do.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have any shares right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not really looking to go and get him, but I feel like he could be a decent target for you if you need another arm.

[SPEAKER_02]: But to so risk, yeah, I'm not sure he's like he want to expect.

[SPEAKER_02]: Though he has look good, [SPEAKER_02]: And as we have buildings, especially today, I think you get two runs and five headings with six case, I believe it was, but pretty intriguing arm going back to Cleveland here with Cal Stephen, who between [SPEAKER_02]: She three levels now low a high a and just mean this double a debut recently Pretty good season.

[SPEAKER_02]: He is a two point zero six ERA zero point nine one whip five percent walk rate and a strike out rate right around twenty eight percent He was you know a second round or last year [SPEAKER_02]: four Toronto and now over to Cleveland here via way of Purdue strong six four six five radius two fifteen two twenty or so get long flowing kind of like no one's in the guard looking here doesn't not a huge velocity guy you know it's a solid four pitch mix but he just uses really advanced a high floor guy it doesn't walk you know five percent walk right this year [SPEAKER_02]: commands, the pitch is well.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is not that one wow offering, but it's a solid for pitch mix with good community control.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he could be like a good SP three four type of everything clicks for Cal Steven, but you have any thoughts here on Steven here, Doc?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I remember looking at this guy before.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if it's because I think of Cal Drogo or what, but I'm always shocked at this ethnicity, because I, I was looking at him like, I'm from Indiana, or those, you know, that's where they made and raised my family.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm seeing which area is from.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, really?

[SPEAKER_03]: Got him cow out there and I click on him.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's like the way he's got in the world.

[SPEAKER_03]: But he's got a he's got a great build.

[SPEAKER_03]: I say why keep it Nile that says it's mild, but he's got a shoulder impingement right now.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think anyone was trading for him or trading Shane B before him if they're really concerned.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I could probably forget.

[SPEAKER_03]: I even said that love to see the mix of strikeouts with command.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a command.

[SPEAKER_03]: fetishist maybe I don't know if that's the right word for it, but I like a guy who can keep his his walks per nine under three for sure and this guy he's actually kept it even under two a lot of a lot of the time so.

[SPEAKER_03]: Upside here, I'm not sure if it's through the roof like you said, but you know, he's a big righty.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he'll give you a bunch of endings and limit the walks.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just on the old school with pictures.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like to play it that way.

[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, maybe he's not like a ton of hype off of them, but I like I do like the name makes me think a cow drogo.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and it's kind of funny that he was traded for for Bieber because you know, back when Bieber was a prospect, he wasn't like a super elite ranked prospect.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was more like that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, hey, look at this like high command control guys, like a high floor.

[SPEAKER_02]: And now, how I describe Steven is kind of to some degree how well people were describing Bieber like eight, nine years ago, whenever he was a prospect.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not saying Steven's got to turn on the Bieber by any means, but yeah, it's always good to have that high floor.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, good command profile.

[SPEAKER_02]: And he can miss him.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's two.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's like it's a twenty percent cave rates.

[SPEAKER_02]: Twenty seven percent cave rate.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's above average.

[SPEAKER_02]: So some intrigue here.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I want to see, you know, Toronto's been doing better with, uh, with pitching development over the last three, four years.

[SPEAKER_02]: Especially this year, but getting him in the Cleveland.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty intrigue.

[SPEAKER_02]: I want to see, uh, you know, what what Cleveland might be able to unlock here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously one of the better pitching development organizations in baseball.

[SPEAKER_02]: So definitely intriguing there.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that was kind of a fun little deal there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, [SPEAKER_02]: Beaver probably back at say another week or two you'll see him up in Toronto a couple other you know we have three other [SPEAKER_02]: starting pitchers moved here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Michael Saroka going to the Chicago Cubs for Prospect's Christian Franklin and Ronnie Cruz.

[SPEAKER_02]: You had Merle Kelly going to the Texas Rangers for pitching Prospect's cold drink, David Haggaman and Mitch Brots.

[SPEAKER_02]: And every time I hear Mitch Brots say, I think of, you know, the sound you make when you're describing a dirt bike, like Brot, Brot, you know, it's a standard alignatory think of that, but Mitch Brots going to some work of parent actually, that was terrible.

[SPEAKER_02]: Let's, uh, Mitch brought David Hagman and Cold Rake going to Arizona in that deal, and then Dustin May going to the Red Sox for James, Tim is the third.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, I think so, Roca, he's been an interesting one here this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: Doc, because you know, look at the surface stats and some like the only expected metrics haven't really lined up.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can on the surface.

[SPEAKER_02]: Cerroca.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sixteen stars.

[SPEAKER_02]: You got a four E seven year A.

You're like, eh, that's not fun, but so one one three web.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty good.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's a three three three X E array.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's also pretty good.

[SPEAKER_02]: And he has a twenty five and a half percent strike at right and only a seven percent walk rate.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, kind of, you know, having a little bit of a mid-career resurgence here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now going to the Cubs.

[SPEAKER_02]: Are you intrigued by, uh, Microsoft Roker right now?

[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely not.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, brother.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a I'm old school.

[SPEAKER_03]: I look at if I see if I see your ERA your lowest ERA since a twenty twenty is four point seven four.

[SPEAKER_03]: I get a little freaked out and by the way, twenty twenty was three point nine five.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like it's been since twenty nineteen since he's really been like a solid guy for me.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know people like them and [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I just I guess I don't get it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I guess majorly clubs see something in them because they keep giving them shots, but got a good build.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe that's part of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe they like him because he's Canadian, but the I don't know man.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's not for me and the Wendy city.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can help you when the wind's blowing in, but it doesn't help you when it's going out.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I'll skip out.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'll skip out on him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I've never been a big stroke a guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not really going after him, but I will say, at least a little injury.

[SPEAKER_02]: If I can get him for like super cheap, I'm not like opposed to it because he does have like a three, three, three X year A, but I don't even go so much.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's great to see.

[SPEAKER_02]: You might think, yeah, he's getting a little unlucky, but at the same time, [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know any league where X-ERA is a category either so.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I guess I'm like very, very slightly intrigued.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's with some more bats and he ever has.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's good.

[SPEAKER_02]: Walk rates down.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's good.

[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it would have to be kind of what you were saying about like a Ryan McMahon.

[SPEAKER_02]: If I got Seroca as like a throw in, I'm not going to turn trade for him.

[SPEAKER_02]: But if I got him as like a throw in, if he's on a non-contending team right now in my league and they're like, oh yeah, I'll give you Seroca too.

[SPEAKER_02]: Is like a sweetener.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, you know, for some person death, I could [SPEAKER_02]: I could be able to get behind that, but...

[SPEAKER_02]: What about, you know, the more probably the more the funnest name out of those three pictures I just mentioned that were traded, Dustin May going to the Boston Red Sox.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's really fun to watch.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, pitching ninjas, bunch of gifts on him, because, you know, except Wiffleball stuff, but it's been an extremely inconsistent career for Dustin May, both in terms of production and just staying on the field.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this year, he's finally over a hundred innings this year for the first time in his career.

[SPEAKER_02]: But it's a four, eight, five year A, one, three, five whip.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's slightly below average straight gut rates.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, XERA is right in line, so it's like he's been unlucky or anything like that.

[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of blue on the Savant page too, like not a super high whip rate or anything like that.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's getting hit around a good bit with the hard hit rate being forty four percent allowed.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, I'm so lukewarm on May now.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not out of May.

[SPEAKER_02]: Still twenty seven.

[SPEAKER_02]: He said I got good stuff, but I feel like hitters just know that his stuff moves so much that if they see like a sinker coming in over the middle of the plate, that's just a dart off the inside or something like that.

[SPEAKER_02]: What's fun to stuff?

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's effective stuff.

[SPEAKER_02]: So at this point, again, I'm out on May, but I'm definitely sour to be at a May.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just wonder if he's always going to be this fun but super inconsistent guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's just going to have like pretty bad ratios overall.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know, are you higher on May than me?

[SPEAKER_03]: No, I have been saying for years, why is this guy not going to the pen?

[SPEAKER_03]: And it's funny because now he's got over a hundred innings, but the results aren't there now.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I think like you just want him to kind of get a little bit more reckless with it.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can be a bit more reckless and short bursts.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maximize that filth in short bursts.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, just don't try to, I mean, what I would guess he'd be doing is trying to moderate a little bit.

[SPEAKER_03]: So he could not break entirely.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I would probably do if I was told to be a starting pitcher or if I really wanted to be a starting pitcher.

[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, it might be the most useful thing for his fantasy purposes and for his career to to become a reliever like a high octane reliever that would be fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: He kind of looks like he's got that it's got that crazy kind of you know Ginger look at the I'm doing a lot of look stuff tonight, but yeah, I'm all it's all about you know the baseball card.

[SPEAKER_03]: So [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, twenty-seven years old, the futures right there for none of them.

[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't realize he was six foot six.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, closers are doomed.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's guys are closers.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm in there.

[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see.

[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see what happens.

[SPEAKER_03]: I hope the best for them.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like the other trade, too, though, the Texas trade.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Merrill, Merrill Kelly, I think.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's before I get to him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's to me.

[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that too.

[SPEAKER_02]: At least something great.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, could this guy just thrive better out of the bullpen?

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's averaging around ninety five ish both, you know, give a take a little bit either way on the sink or in the forseemer.

[SPEAKER_02]: This year, you got to imagine in relief.

[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's ninety seven.

[SPEAKER_02]: You got the mid-eighties sweeper, you know, low-endies cutter, although the cutter's been absolutely terrible this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I don't know what the role is.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's a rental.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's a free agent of this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I have no idea where he's going to be next year.

[SPEAKER_02]: If it's going to be in Boston as a resigning or elsewhere.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not out on May, but I've definitely soured a lot on Dustin May, but yeah, Merrill Kelly.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's kind of like, what are the sneakier names that got moved at the deadline because he's old.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's thirty six.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I can say that because I am not yet thirty six years old, but he's a year older than I am.

[SPEAKER_02]: But he's having a good year and he's been kind of one of those late career.

[SPEAKER_02]: He went overseas.

[SPEAKER_02]: He came back and he's been pretty solid.

[SPEAKER_02]: Two or the last three years.

[SPEAKER_02]: ERA under three point three.

[SPEAKER_02]: He had a three two nine ERA and twenty twenty three and even if you go back three years three out of the last four, he's been under a three point four ERA three three seven ERA [SPEAKER_02]: And two hundred and a third innings in twenty twenty two then three two nine and a hundred and seventy seven and two thirds in twenty twenty three last year and it's limited to thirteen games and a couple injuries e array went up but just a four or three was not goes terribly high but this year three two two and twenty two starts [SPEAKER_02]: hundred twenty one straightouts the thirty eight walks a whip just over one at one point zero six now he goes to rotation he's joining up with the ground he's turning up with yavaldi with kuma rocker pretty darn good rotation there so a miracle Kelly's one of those guys I think could be a value targets for pretending teams is again he's thirty six it never cost a lot to get these thirty six year olds so I think he's still a pretty solid guy for you for a short-term value [SPEAKER_03]: I think both sides win here.

[SPEAKER_03]: The Rangers love it.

[SPEAKER_03]: They went for it.

[SPEAKER_03]: No one's really counting on them to do anything.

[SPEAKER_03]: They don't feel like a team of destiny at this point, but Dolos Garcia is quietly kind of getting hot and like all he takes is like [SPEAKER_03]: You know, RIP, Evan Carter, I'm so mad as back, coughed out again, but, you know, why it lengthened?

[SPEAKER_03]: I know you like him too, man.

[SPEAKER_02]: I love flying for dip.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he could eat these harsh crush and baseballs.

[SPEAKER_03]: If Garcia is secret, you know, it's a good team.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's just a similar team to the one that won the world series not too long ago.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they were only a game out of the wildcard and they made the moves.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they went out and got the relievers.

[SPEAKER_03]: They got the started.

[SPEAKER_03]: I loved that.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's just a winning energy.

[SPEAKER_03]: And you have to do it with how the team's built right now.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I got to say though, Arizona came out looking pretty good.

[SPEAKER_03]: Merrill Kelly is perfect for what the ranges are doing.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I got to say, I thought it was Mitch Bratt.

[SPEAKER_03]: But that's just because I like to not know how to say things.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so, and then, and Cole Drake, my big, we talked about, and we talked about Cole Drake before, I think so.

[SPEAKER_03]: having a little flashback, maybe when we had you on dynasty dingers.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think you're a big cold drink, aren't you?

[SPEAKER_03]: Big cold drink guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so he's that guy who I was told we were reading where he came from.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, oh yeah, my car broke down in that middle of nowhere, Arkansas, and I had to wait four hours for it to get fixed.

[SPEAKER_03]: That had it to put a new tire on there.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so yeah, he's just kind of had an interesting career.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's all been uphill.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like a [SPEAKER_03]: way different version of Caleb Durbin because he's six five two four to use up and he's actually got to work out where course build is got a great build.

[SPEAKER_03]: The lefty too is very interesting.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's a little bit older for a prospect, but yeah, so he's doing, unfortunately, right now, what's happening is what happened last year.

[SPEAKER_03]: So the pros and cons here.

[SPEAKER_03]: So Kahn is he's stumbling a little bit at AAA all of a sudden after crushing AA this year.

[SPEAKER_03]: But last year when he had when he first reached AA, he was having some struggles there.

[SPEAKER_03]: And people were thinking, I, as a Mirage, okay, he's just an older prospect who's crushing low and high A.

Now, but then [SPEAKER_03]: this year, he crushed AA.

[SPEAKER_03]: And now he's having, maybe he's just that's him.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know Augustan Ramirez, you know, he was like that for hitting.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was so obvious.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was so such like a documentable thing he did at every level, which is almost what you would expect any prospect to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: But [SPEAKER_03]: Some prospects just do weird things where they crash one level and they suck at the next one and then it's just a kind of a bigger roller coaster Whereas this is just like a video game you have to level up.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's hard for a bit until you get that XP and then you move on up and so Cole Drake is just progressing in his own way right now.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's going to work out really well.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think him and Brett could be really good for the Diamondbacks for years to come.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's a great trade.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, Drake and Brad are the two bigger names, but Hagueman's a pretty low key arm as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know I think who is the super high at him?

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I think it's Chris Welsh.

[SPEAKER_02]: I believe don't quote me in that, but I think it's Chris Welsh as pretty high on Hagueman, but yeah, Drake this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, yeah, you mentioned he's been, you know, scuffing a little bit at Triple A, but the big thing with him, he's always been a good bat mister.

[SPEAKER_02]: You look at from the straight gut rates here.

[SPEAKER_02]: In the minor leagues, twenty twenty twenty three at the complex in low A combined for twenty five point three percent key rate as pretty solid twenty twenty four low A high AA thirty five point four percent that's phenomenal and this year it's back down a bit but still a good twenty nine percent between AA and triple A is was nearly thirty two percent in AA and surround twenty two and a half percent [SPEAKER_02]: So far on AAA, but yeah, the Diamondbacks definitely needed some pitchers.

[SPEAKER_02]: Their system is very hitting heavy in terms of their top guys.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think they did a good job kind of restock in the system on the pitching side, especially here.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, pretty solid move there for for both teams.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that was a good move for both teams.

[SPEAKER_02]: Texas has a lot of pitching prospects right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think they were able to trade from that kind of area depth for them.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right, moving on here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, one last big bigger name here that was moved.

[SPEAKER_02]: Carlos Correa going back to the Houston Astros and all those jokes out there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, oh, here's the first look at Correa in an Astros uniform.

[SPEAKER_02]: Check out my pin-by-paint skills.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now, that was for us.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's all about two thousand of those after the trade happened.

[SPEAKER_02]: career and cash going to the astros for a pitching project, Matt McCollosty, but career has been out there been like a super big career guy, but obviously he's going back to a place where he has had a lot of success, a lot of experience there, obviously a very good power park for right-handed bats.

[SPEAKER_02]: career is going to have a weird year last year, he hit three ten with a five, seventeen slug.

[SPEAKER_02]: with a fourteen home runs in three hundred and sixty seven plate appearances.

[SPEAKER_02]: This year two sixty six three eighteen three nine d he said they're all hard though let's still the case but.

[SPEAKER_02]: Test it really treated a lot of success on the surface line eight home runs in three hundred and seventy seven plate appearances.

[SPEAKER_02]: I already as a home run back with his former team there with Houston.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's so many thirty years all he's a guy feels he should be like thirty three thirty four at this point but.

[SPEAKER_02]: out he and he was another guy's director way back in twenty twelve as well as he's been around for a good long time at this point but he's only thirty yeah he's only thirty yep oh man he's he's joined in the club he's joined in the uh the beaver the beaver club yeah crazy yeah so I can't so they're both so they're they're at the same they're they're they're they're both thirty years old and both high school drafties in the twenty twenty twelve draft class that's kind of kind of fun right there but [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, career though.

[SPEAKER_02]: Are you uh, you intrigued by career?

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, everyone either loves him or just can't stand him.

[SPEAKER_02]: So where are you, where are you at in career right now?

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I guess I'll call it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm new can be like radical being extremist.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to be right in the middle of the radically neutral.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really have feelings about Carl's career.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just don't think about him again.

[SPEAKER_03]: He is someone I guess similar to Bieber.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's always someone who likes him a little bit more than me.

[SPEAKER_03]: I am a baseball romantic.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love these kind of reunions.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's a lot of fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: One day you make his debut.

[SPEAKER_03]: He made his debut in twenty fifty and I remember back then.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's like the least six three to twenty guy who's ever been six three to twenty.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just feel like I don't he doesn't he feels like more like a six foot one eighty guy like that's just his skill set.

[SPEAKER_03]: He never felt like he's tapped into that power that that you would think you'd see from there, but [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's in all around good player.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is a good deal for Houston if they're wanting to be competitive and obviously you know, make a trade for this kind of player unless you plan on that.

[SPEAKER_03]: So it's good.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's pretty low cost for them too.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm interested to see the finances behind it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe we'll see how low cost it really is.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know there's a big contract there.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think the twins are taking most of it from what I recall or what I would imagine for this to be able to happen in the first place.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's, uh, it's good.

[SPEAKER_03]: I wish Eric Nolan earned out of one there, uh, because that would have been fun for both the Cardinals being able to start over and Aaron out of being useful in fantasy again, smashing those Crawford boxes, but it's a play to it.

[SPEAKER_03]: This will be fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: And hey, Korea, yeah, that could, that could be fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: Those Crawford boxes might get his power back up to something, maybe more fantasy friendly.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, it definitely could.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's been hitting the ball hard and [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, they kind of need to make this move given that the injury to eastside parade is, but.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, he's good.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I need one mile an hour average EV, which is actually his career best mark there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Forty seven point eight percent hard hit rate.

[SPEAKER_02]: Also career best mark carries under twenty percent.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's also some solid metrics here.

[SPEAKER_02]: About average contact skills as well, eighty six percent in zone, about seventy seven and a half percent overall just been everything into the ground for the most part.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I'm just a split up taken value.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be going after career.

[SPEAKER_02]: I've never been a career guy, but [SPEAKER_02]: If you are a Vera Craig guy, then yeah, I think this is a little bit of an uptick in value going back to Houston here.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right, those are the, those are the bigger moves.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of other smaller moves, a lot of which aren't fancy relevant, but I picked some of them on the put on here, so we'll kind of clump them together, see if you don't feel like anything out of this group of trades.

[SPEAKER_02]: Chris Paddock and Randy Dobnak went to the Tigers for a minor league catcher in Rieke him and as Eric Feday went to the Braves for a player to be in later or cash.

[SPEAKER_02]: Harrison Bader went to the Phillies for Henry Mendez and Jeremy Valoria.

[SPEAKER_02]: Cedric Mullins, probably the biggest aim of this group, went to the Metz for Anthony Nunes, Raymond Gomez, and Chandler Marsh, going back to Baltimore.

[SPEAKER_02]: Keep Ryan Hayes went to a different nationally central team going to the Cincinnati Reds, former Sami Stafferra and Taylor Rogers, [SPEAKER_02]: And then Jose Caballero went to the New York Yankees and then Everston Pereira and a plared of an emulator or cash going back to Tampa Bay.

[SPEAKER_02]: So anything anybody from any of those trades interest you right now that you want to talk about their talk [SPEAKER_03]: Man, I'm going to say that Cedric Mullins.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's fun for his fantasy value.

[SPEAKER_03]: Cabrine, hey, he's, I actually meant to write about him today.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so this is like kind of your best case scenario with him.

[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to find out, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, can he ever get somewhere kind of somewhat interesting with the power?

[SPEAKER_03]: If he's not going to happen at great American ballpark, it's never going to happen.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, he's just been considered a really star defender.

[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to be honest, consider a star defender and, you know, all around ball player, but just, you know, not super sexy.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that'll be fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: I remember Stiffer had some, you know, had some buzz coming out of the draft.

[SPEAKER_03]: Frankly, man, I'm a casserole couple other trades in here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, go ahead.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so there was a couple other ones.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I think those are those are definitely very interesting and Fettie goodness gracious.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's the brave steadlin it summarized, huh?

[SPEAKER_03]: You're supposed to sell.

[SPEAKER_02]: They were like super quiet.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think those are only moved that I recall.

[SPEAKER_02]: They were just like sitting on their hand.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I guess they [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're in a weird spot where it's like, they have a lot of big names, but they're for the most performing.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of injury guys.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of, well, they also got some, oh, there's another picture they got.

[SPEAKER_02]: They got Fed A and then they got like another random name.

[SPEAKER_02]: Who was that?

[SPEAKER_03]: Right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember either.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yeah, that was it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, yeah, that was really, really quiet deadline.

[SPEAKER_02]: Very unbrave, steadline for them.

[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, go ahead and add a couple of the deals if you want.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, so I'll say I love, actually, one of them you'll find interesting.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we'll end with that one so you can transfer right into it because you might not want to talk about Kalin Moss.

[SPEAKER_03]: We had him on the Dynasty Dinger's podcast.

[SPEAKER_03]: This guy is super underrated.

[SPEAKER_03]: If you're in a deep league, Kalin Moss was a royal rut, wasn't till the deadline.

[SPEAKER_03]: A royal prospect, six, three, two, twenty, baseball America's been big on this guy, Jeff Ponds.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is a guy who hits the ball really hard.

[SPEAKER_03]: He came out of the Appalachian League.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's still pretty young.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's big, it's got like an underdog story as you can tell.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like those guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so his, his statue of our great.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, so he's a big guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's got like a three, seventy OBP or something right now in the miners.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's stealing bases now for some reason.

[SPEAKER_03]: I asked him on the podcast why he's fast now.

[SPEAKER_03]: He said he's specifically been speed training.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so just really cool story and he's big.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to play into that power.

[SPEAKER_03]: Him going to Pittsburgh is less fun for me because I like the role is more than I like Pittsburgh.

[SPEAKER_03]: But [SPEAKER_03]: It's good for his fantasy outlook because he's going to get up faster.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's not going to be blocked like he would be in KC.

[SPEAKER_03]: And he's going to be maybe if everything works out he'll be up and mashing in Connor Griffin for years to come.

[SPEAKER_03]: So stash that name away Ryan Burger staying on the Royals.

[SPEAKER_03]: He was doing well with the Padre is right Ryan Burger.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is kind of a deeper thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, Kudos to the Padre is getting Freddie for men back.

[SPEAKER_03]: who's actually way better offensive catcher than Diaz out there.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that's going to help them significantly, actually on the offense.

[SPEAKER_03]: But Burger feels like he's going to be a classic Royals.

[SPEAKER_03]: If he's this era of Royals, where they just bring in these like logos and wakas and somehow make them seriously.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I think Burger could be that guy easy on to.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then the last one, and you could talk about any of these, but I think you're going to want to talk about Blaze Jordan.

[SPEAKER_03]: Blaze Jordan, you are a cardinal.

[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, he's a cardinal man.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like he's gone from like this home run, hitting high school or teenager to a classic cardinal profile.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, oh, it's like really is turning into something kind of productive somehow.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's really boring.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to be Alec Burlson in five years.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's going to be like this really in and out.

[SPEAKER_03]: He'll play like, you know, a hundred at bats a year for two years.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then suddenly he'll hit a teen home runs.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, of course he did.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, please, your cardinal.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, that was a sneaky, you know, fun deal there, you know, Steven Mascow into the Red Sox, but you play short and was a guy, why saw a ton of, I felt he was in double a portal in for like six years.

[SPEAKER_02]: At least I felt like it.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I probably saw Jordan.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know a lot.

[SPEAKER_02]: I tried Jordan a lot.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I was pretty close to being out on him last year.

[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't it was very likely.

[SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't bad.

[SPEAKER_02]: The metrics were okay under the hood, but just how much like this guy said we're going to be more than like maybe a bench guy, but and I'm some of the majories like all this guy's going to be started long-term type of guy, but [SPEAKER_02]: I've definitely kind of warmed back up to him this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: The contact sales have been pretty good.

[SPEAKER_02]: The approach has been good and not striking out a lot.

[SPEAKER_02]: The power isn't what it used to be or at least not what we thought it could be.

[SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned he was the high school teenager, Mash and Home Runs.

[SPEAKER_02]: That would select around average game power, I'd say maybe he's like a fifteen to eighteen home or a guy, but we'll see, but yeah, I've got you brought up Alkborough, so that's how I mentioned that.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, [SPEAKER_02]: wouldn't be surprising if he was a burlescent type of everything clicks from him.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's a solid player.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm super sexy for fantasy, but he's valuable in your deep performance for sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: So adding average only fire me up to eight.

[SPEAKER_02]: You just do it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you give you a home run every now and then, but yeah, that was a sticky move as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: uh...

in calma so you mentioned that isn't as think he can a prospect i got approached walk rates but thirteen percent contact rates are on seventy five percent you know you mentioned you know about by average powers well uh...

i thought he was older than he was twenty twenty twenty twenty forty four year ago he said it was almost twenty twenty twenty two end of this month but uh...

yeah in high eight right now for a Pittsburgh so yes that definitely a stinky prospect there as well [SPEAKER_02]: A couple of names I want to mention is from this grouping or a couple of things I want to mention with Brian Hayes now with the reds.

[SPEAKER_02]: Looks like it will be marté is moving to the outfield.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that's kind of fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: Not really a good their basement anyway, so it's probably the best move for the for the reds to be making real life.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I get some outfield eligibility.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're pretty soon for another marté.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was been hitting pretty well.

[SPEAKER_02]: this year with the reds.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then with was a move here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Moan is going to the meds.

[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it opens up a spot for Dylan Beaver's to come up at some point later this season.

[SPEAKER_02]: Though I know, you know, the jokes are being made already with how Baltimore's handled their prospects over the last couple of years.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I like Dylan Beaver's a lot.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's above average hit.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's good contact.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad you're going to approach.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's a plus approach guy above average contact guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: Powers about average and it's probably like a fifteen eighteen homer guy, but he's above average speed.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it's one of those profiles that nothing, I said, you know, the approach stands out, but it's not like a sexy profile, but when you add everything together, that's a pretty good offense of player all around that give you some solid production and all five categories.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think you had two hormones today on Sunday.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's been really hot lately in AAA.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he's up at some point.

[SPEAKER_02]: over the remainder of the season, and you probably could be a pretty good fantasy asset for you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Any thoughts there on Dylan Beaver's?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've been up and down on him.

[SPEAKER_03]: After the first time I ever heard, this is a good little anecdote.

[SPEAKER_03]: Ever heard of Dylan Beaver's.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is before I was even doing guru kind of stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was just following, I remember seeing on your account, there was a guy under you [SPEAKER_03]: This guy with glasses is kind of a nerdy guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's a nice guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: He comments him off stuff too.

[SPEAKER_03]: But he called out Dylan Beaver's and I looked him up.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, yeah, there's something here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Since then, I've gone like this with Dylan Beaver's.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's gained an inch.

[SPEAKER_03]: He was six four.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know he was six four before on on baseball reference.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's now listed as six five.

[SPEAKER_03]: So good for him.

[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, he's just like the buddy has his power for a six five apparently guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: This has been not where you'd want it to be.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe it never will be.

[SPEAKER_03]: I will say, I don't think it's fair.

[SPEAKER_03]: What people are saying about the Orioles with their prospects, it actually beyond not fair doesn't make any sense.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we are thinking about Kobe Mayo.

[SPEAKER_03]: But it's kind of all we're thinking about here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe you can make an argument with Kyle Stowers.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can make an argument.

[SPEAKER_03]: But that's not the only way it's gone.

[SPEAKER_03]: Westburg, they let them roll with it and it worked.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he got to play.

[SPEAKER_03]: Jackson holiday, they've been pretty stubborn with Jackson holiday and put them out there.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, no, this is not everyone.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's tricky, but frankly, Mayo's been hot cold.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't necessarily a hundred percent agree with how they rolled them out, but I think most of its fantasy GM's frustrations.

[SPEAKER_03]: And obviously their orals are not doing something right because they look at their season, but yeah, we'll see.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what to think of beavers.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's more of a fifteen home run guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe tops.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he's maybe has a twenty season in him, but at this point I would be a little surprised.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's so weird because yeah, his frame's big, but I think you're going to see him be just more of like a, yeah, I don't [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe, yeah, just like a high average guy, steal some bases for you.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he'll give you like a fifteen home run, twenty stolen bases, and that would work.

[SPEAKER_03]: How's he stealing?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, he steals lots of bases.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so he can be fond for fantasy in a weird way.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, more of a, more of like a sum of the parts guy than like, oh, he's given you a big power, big speed, but yeah, it just doesn't a lot of things, you know, well, or doesn't only have any no clearing weaknesses there, like there's no high K rate, there's no like lack of power, there's not like bad bad at all angles, and like that.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I think Beaver's is a pretty solid all around prospects, maybe we see him get a shot here.

[SPEAKER_02]: We fun, you know, a little bit of fun for Baltimore down the stretch, maybe they bring up him and Pesayo.

[SPEAKER_02]: to you know play for them bring up a silo come on maybe after I think what's it forty five days so maybe around a fourteen fifteen to the month I fit with the end of the season as if it's twenty nine thirty of the time itself you think we're seeing somebody's up the middle of August here after they can keep their rookie eligibility go into next season but yeah definitely a fun name there [SPEAKER_02]: was close up the show with some closers because there was a lot of them traded.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we were talking about Mason Miller.

[SPEAKER_02]: That was far from the only reliever that got moved at the deadline this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: Several others here, you know, some bigger, some smaller, uh, you end a ran went to the Philadelphia Phillies for Mick Abel, uh, who pitched today.

[SPEAKER_02]: And Triple A was pretty, uh, pitched pretty well.

[SPEAKER_02]: And catch your Eduardo Tite.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, one of the better young catching prospects and baseball right now on a power there.

[SPEAKER_02]: David Bednar in Camila doval went to the Yankees, a bunch of prospects going back to Pittsburgh, Rafael Flores, Edgling Perez, and Brian Sanchez, and then to San Francisco, Tristan Vierling, Jesus Rodriguez, Park's Harbor, and Carlos De La Rosa, and then Santerita Manga's went to the Blue Jays for Geron Wants.

[SPEAKER_02]: Brown, he's going back to Baltimore, [SPEAKER_02]: Griffin Jax going to Tampa Bay for Taj Bradley.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get into that in a second.

[SPEAKER_02]: Ryan Housley and Taylor Tyler Rogers to the Mets going back to St.

[SPEAKER_02]: Louis.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's just bias, Nate Dome and Frank Ellis salts and then going to the Mets Jose Buto blade Tidwell and Drew Gilbert going to San Francisco as me.

[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of names there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, sir, that jacks for a Taj Bradley trade here, dog.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think jacks, you know, obviously he's more of a saves holds guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, he's he'll be in the mix there, but definitely not not the guy there in Tampa Bay, but Taj Bradley, if this could be a good, like, change a scenery move for Bradley.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's, it's ever great as a pitch of lead Tampa Bay, but there's still some talent here that doesn't really put it together this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: Four or six one ERA in twenty one starts one two eight whip.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's missing as many baths this year, you know, carrots down six and a half percent from last year.

[SPEAKER_02]: Walk rates up about a full percentage point, but still talented still twenty four years old.

[SPEAKER_02]: Are you intrigued as I got a bi-low potential here for Taj Bradley, Doc?

[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, he's never really been one of my guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I looked at his numbers before this season.

[SPEAKER_03]: I said, uh, I guess maybe I'm being harsh on him.

[SPEAKER_03]: And now he's sucking and I'm like, ah, my gut was right.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't want these guys to have a hard time.

[SPEAKER_03]: These are human beings, especially before they make that first big paycheck.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm rooting for him.

[SPEAKER_03]: But, you know, uh, it'll get chances and that pitching's a weird game.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I was feeling like a pitching group coming into the season because I just couldn't do wrong last year.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I still, I guess I got some good hits.

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like this year, my teams with their baths are all crushing it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like all of my arms are just completely deceased.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're injured.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, all my recent...

Same here, yep.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, maybe it's just a legalizing thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: But, gosh, some of my biggest fantasy crushes are just destroyed.

[SPEAKER_03]: So, maybe I don't know anything about that, or maybe you can't predict that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like the Griffin Jack side.

[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the deal, man.

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel through things more if you're my third teamer.

[SPEAKER_03]: When I say that, I don't just mean the league depth.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's a saves and holes you'll usually have in those third teamers.

[SPEAKER_03]: And frankly, you know, when it's thirty teams, you just want like a good baseball player.

[SPEAKER_03]: It kind of just comes back.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's more like real baseball, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: And so, you know, whether it's starter or whether it's a reliever, you know, these guys are trying to get out batters.

[SPEAKER_03]: And you want the best, the best out there.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so the Griffin Jax, I think, is going to be a good asset.

[SPEAKER_03]: Bradley?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, maybe he'll unlock something.

[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be great.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think this potential there.

[SPEAKER_03]: But, I mean, geez, I think that people are kind of [SPEAKER_03]: sleeping on coal sands.

[SPEAKER_03]: Remember coming into twenty twenty five yet some hype yet a good season last year.

[SPEAKER_03]: This season hasn't been as strong for the last Minnesota twin reliever standing, but I think it's pretty clear he's going to get a shot to be the closer.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe nothing comes of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe blows it anything can happen.

[SPEAKER_03]: I thought Ryan Walker was going to be rightly, you know, he's going to be the next big thing in San Francisco and he blew it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the people rightfully thought, Devin Williams, or maybe, you know, even a manual class to, hey, remember him?

[SPEAKER_03]: I thought those guys were gonna be rock solid and so far, no, never mind, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: So it's a crazy game right now, more than ever, I think, relief pitchers.

[SPEAKER_03]: So Griffin Jackson's solid, but yeah, Cole Sans, if you're playing dinosaur, you're playing fantasy, but if you're playing dinosaur season, hence these deep release, twenty to thirty man, it's like finding that closer [SPEAKER_03]: Finding closures can be hard.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes it's harder than finding a starter.

[SPEAKER_03]: So, don't sleep on cool scents.

[SPEAKER_03]: You might be able to get them off-road and sort of what labor-wire is right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so especially it's at thirty teamers.

[SPEAKER_02]: If you got one good clothes, if you got a closer, I mean, that's average thirty teamers, thirty majorly teams boom.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's been it's been a tough, tough pitching year.

[SPEAKER_02]: My team has been like, especially one of my team.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's this is an eight team team.

[SPEAKER_02]: Dynasty League, I'm in for my, my Patreon, my Discord subscribers.

[SPEAKER_02]: I have currently on the IL.

[SPEAKER_02]: Seth Halverson, Tony Gonzalez, Tanner Hauke, Rhett Louter, Felix Petista, Tanner Scott, Jason Rodriguez, Ryan Weather's Christian Scott.

[SPEAKER_02]: I finished, I think, third last year and I was gearing up for title run this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm, what am I in there now?

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a tenth right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I've been mid-packed because my pitching has been devastated.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's brutal because it's an eighteen teamer for sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: I got a twelve team home league, so I can bounce back a little better, but these names are bigger.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is crazy.

[SPEAKER_03]: So Cole Ragan's Pablo Lopez, Justin Steele, Ryan Weather's Chris Sale, Bubik, Resoulson, those last two just happened.

[SPEAKER_03]: It just got...

I got Michael King and like every league, so it's been tough.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm still in playoff contention.

[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't hear no battle.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're resource and I use it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I my home lake to my to my twelve team home keeper.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like my what am I high school friends.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, resource and was like the final gut punch for me on on that team.

[SPEAKER_02]: I have a lot of injuries in that team too.

[SPEAKER_02]: I do go out and make a trade for some for some pitching.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, that was the last one where I was like, Oh, I love all sin and boom.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now he's over the year.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I've been a really tough pitching year for sure here, but [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, a lot of whatever we've been moving here, I think, you know, the biggest, you call CNN's moving into that closure spot from Minnesota because half of their bullpen was in AAA a couple of days ago.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that's fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think in San Francisco, Randy Rodriguez could be a fun guy there in St.

[SPEAKER_02]: Louis is probably looking like Joe Joe Romero as another bullpen where half of their guys were, I think in AAA.

[SPEAKER_02]: Last week, but real quick, I'm Bradley.

[SPEAKER_02]: I still like Bradley.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just so some good, you know, good traits here.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's got a good four pitch mix.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the cutter splitter and curve ball all how do we afraid about thirty percent last year and they've all kind of ticked down a little bit, but [SPEAKER_02]: But there's not any, there's no bad pitches in the arson, like the the fastball.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's a two, seven, seven betting over gigance.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's not terrible.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, three of the four pitches have a betting over gigance under two, forty and a slug under three, sixty.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think there's still a good pitcher here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Is he going to be a stud?

[SPEAKER_02]: Probably not.

[SPEAKER_02]: But could he be back in top fifty guys if he figures it out.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think so this is a possibility.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he's a good by low right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: Given that the perceived values probably dropped a good bit in your dinosaur league.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I'd personally go after a touch Bradley here.

[SPEAKER_02]: But just a lot of names on the move here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, Mick Abel, I've seen Mick Abel a couple of times live, really fun stuff.

[SPEAKER_02]: But it's the mechanic control.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's been kind of wonky.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, better this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm a little bit more intrigued right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: You should get a shot to start with Minnesota down the stretch as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: Tight, a lot of power, still pretty aggressive.

[SPEAKER_02]: Context skills are, you know, kind of in the mid, sixty percent range less on my check.

[SPEAKER_02]: So needs to improve that.

[SPEAKER_02]: But definitely a really fun player there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's he's a stud like he's he could be one of the best catching process.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that's one of those trades that just you won't see it almost any fantasy league.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right, but yeah, well, a lot of fun names on the movie or any other any other name in this section whether it be Major Leaker or our prospect.

[SPEAKER_02]: He wanted to talk about for we close up the show here doc.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of interested to see what happens with with Cardinals Hall.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not super familiar with these prospects, but I know Hayes used bias.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's got some hype behind them, but the Ryan Hellsley deal.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I think the Cardinals did the right thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: They did some boring trades where you just see endless pictures I counted by the way.

[SPEAKER_03]: Orioles took in over ten pitching prospects.

[SPEAKER_03]: And with pitching prospects, like you just never know who which ones are going to pop next.

[SPEAKER_03]: So quantity over quality, maybe that's the trick.

[SPEAKER_03]: This has been a fun episode man.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's so many trades.

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like we definitely had to.

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I was reading some today and I honestly I was like, did I even remember Nestor Cortez got traded?

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there was so many trades.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we could have gone another hour on this, but obviously can't talk about every trade.

[SPEAKER_02]: No out of them weren't fantasy relevant.

[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously those smaller moves, but definitely a lot of fun names in the move, both major leaders and prospects.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, this was a fun episode.

[SPEAKER_02]: But for we have here, Doc, [SPEAKER_02]: want you to let the people know what you got going on what some good stuff going on over at prospects live.

[SPEAKER_03]: Gosh, we all kinds of cool stuff.
