[SPEAKER_00]: From the MLB draft, all the way to the show, the Toolshed podcast has you covered with rankings, player analysis, and in-depth discussion. 00:24.351 --> 00:27.435 [SPEAKER_00]: And now, here's your host, Eric Cross. 00:33.857 --> 00:34.637 [SPEAKER_02]: What's up everyone? 00:35.077 --> 00:38.598 [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome into the episode of the tool shed podcast brought to you by Rotoballar. 00:39.038 --> 00:40.579 [SPEAKER_02]: This is episode 463. 00:40.819 --> 00:41.699 [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for joining us. 00:41.779 --> 00:42.899 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host, Eric Cross. 00:43.440 --> 00:46.180 [SPEAKER_02]: And joining me is my co-host, Mr. Toby Shulman. 00:46.720 --> 00:50.982 [SPEAKER_02]: Toby, is there any truth to the rumor that you've also been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers? 00:52.142 --> 00:57.623 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I haven't gotten confirmation from the agent yet, Eric, but you know, maybe we're still pending medicals now. 00:57.943 --> 00:58.464 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. 00:58.484 --> 00:58.844 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what 01:04.213 --> 01:09.776 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm just waiting for the passing tweet that Toby Schulman is going to pitch for the Dodgers as well. 01:10.516 --> 01:12.937 [SPEAKER_02]: Man, what a crazy deadline though. 01:13.477 --> 01:17.679 [SPEAKER_02]: It was just like we were talking about it for a hit record where it was just like non stop. 01:17.699 --> 01:21.681 [SPEAKER_02]: There was a couple little lows like mid afternoon and like late morning. 01:22.121 --> 01:24.983 [SPEAKER_02]: But for the most part, we had some trades early in the day. 01:25.063 --> 01:27.924 [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, there was a few big ones leading into today. 01:27.964 --> 01:29.165 [SPEAKER_02]: And like this the afternoon. 01:29.785 --> 01:34.809 [SPEAKER_02]: was just a huge flurry of trade, some big, some small, so it was just a crazy deadline. 01:35.990 --> 01:39.412 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I didn't think there was going to be that many moves today. 01:40.693 --> 01:42.735 [SPEAKER_01]: We got a lot of them, and they came early too. 01:42.835 --> 01:44.716 [SPEAKER_01]: It was like 8.39 in the morning. 01:44.736 --> 01:46.537 [SPEAKER_01]: You didn't really get to rest up until that point. 01:46.557 --> 01:52.662 [SPEAKER_01]: It was like 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. you're putting in a full shift of just keeping Twitter open and checking those notifications. 01:53.775 --> 02:10.747 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely, and you know, big trade for my red socks getting Adley, it was like, you heard it like, oh, it's been, it's confirmed, then there was like an hour delay, you're like, okay, but for who though, like we're just waiting for that return, like hitting the refresh button over and over again on Twitter, but 02:11.267 --> 02:36.870 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a lot of moves and a lot of fantasy relevant ones that we'll get into in this episode and we'll go over some of the bigger moves more in depth, you know, the moves that have a few different talking points within them so many of the moves will be more quick hitters and we might get all of them obviously because there's a lot of moves that we'll be talking about Josh Smith moves for that, you know, level of move, but if you want to know about that obviously you can tweet at us or whatever. 02:37.350 --> 02:38.931 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, let's get right into it though. 02:38.951 --> 02:39.812 [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of moves here. 02:39.832 --> 02:46.095 [SPEAKER_02]: I start with some of the bigger moves on the pitching side and yeah, we get to start with the Dodgers. 02:46.135 --> 02:55.401 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think everyone and their mother thought that school was going to the Dodgers and that obviously happened yesterday or on Sunday. 02:56.061 --> 03:01.203 [SPEAKER_02]: as you're listening to this on Tuesday, but then they also got Chris Boobach as well. 03:01.323 --> 03:16.567 [SPEAKER_02]: So more and more pitchers going to the Dodgers, but in the scoobled deal, they gave up desire, hope, river Ryan, and Ray Smith back to the Detroit Tigers. 03:17.147 --> 03:23.774 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, two, I mean, all three are a good prospects, but two of which are top 100 for for most people. 03:24.434 --> 03:37.708 [SPEAKER_02]: I as I hope inside my top 10 at this point in river Ryan, I mean, depending on where you look, there's a wide sort of rankings on him just given the fact that he's, you know, 56 years old, but it's 03:38.130 --> 03:40.713 [SPEAKER_02]: you know, it's still a very good, you know, arm in his own right. 03:40.813 --> 03:43.415 [SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, what do you think here, Toby? 03:43.435 --> 03:50.282 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, let's start with, you know, the prospects, you know, and talk about them more so than schoolable because, I mean, schoolable, schoolable. 03:50.422 --> 03:52.003 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's going to be dominant wherever he goes. 03:52.023 --> 03:53.385 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think this really changes his value. 03:53.745 --> 03:55.786 [SPEAKER_02]: or what, so I'm still a top three pitcher in this game. 03:56.466 --> 04:03.088 [SPEAKER_02]: But Zyer hope, very exciting for fantasy purposes, River Ryan could be as well and, you know, the bright side. 04:03.568 --> 04:09.990 [SPEAKER_02]: These guys now have a clearer path to playing time, you know, maybe if not later this year, definitely in 2027. 04:10.030 --> 04:13.131 [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, what do you thoughts here on, on hope and Ryan? 04:14.360 --> 04:16.502 [SPEAKER_01]: I like that they were the ones that got traded here. 04:17.402 --> 04:21.545 [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like we knew that halfway to Paula and Mike Soroto weren't getting moved here. 04:21.565 --> 04:23.587 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they didn't have to do it, obviously. 04:24.548 --> 04:26.489 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, like you said, they're not roadblocked anymore. 04:27.190 --> 04:32.854 [SPEAKER_01]: Zyer hope also kidding to be paired up in the outfield of the guy like Max Clark who just made his debut not too long ago. 04:33.314 --> 04:34.555 [SPEAKER_01]: That should be a ton of fun too. 04:34.595 --> 04:37.077 [SPEAKER_01]: And the Tigers are just building a nice young core now. 04:37.838 --> 04:39.759 [SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, they have Max Clark who just debuted. 04:39.779 --> 04:41.360 [SPEAKER_01]: They have Kevin McGonagal who already 04:43.686 --> 05:03.112 [SPEAKER_01]: Things aren't looking so bleak in Detroit and they did a really good for a trade that ultimately is right now, just two months of Zurich school, it probably won't be two months for the Dodgers, but for two months of school, you're getting back a top 20 to top 10 prospect in the sport and a pitcher who went healthy should be an impact arm in your rotation. 05:04.052 --> 05:06.133 [SPEAKER_01]: Plus, pretty Smith as well, I think they did really well. 05:07.365 --> 05:10.309 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I think that's a really exciting deal. 05:10.369 --> 05:13.214 [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, they'll probably end up resigning school all the way. 05:13.254 --> 05:16.899 [SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, that's probably be in their thought process. 05:16.919 --> 05:18.241 [SPEAKER_02]: We're like, all right, we're giving up these guys. 05:18.862 --> 05:21.946 [SPEAKER_02]: So we can, you know, have a chance to assign school a long term as well. 05:22.427 --> 05:38.485 [SPEAKER_02]: and get him in here for the playoff push and this is this rotation is absolutely ridiculous worse like who's either five like Tyler glass now so you're five whenever he's back and you know who knows if if when him is in snow or back obviously they're huge question marks but 05:38.945 --> 05:57.861 [SPEAKER_02]: This adds another stud arm rotation and yeah, Zyner hope is a guy that I'm I'm really excited about obviously the the big power speed blend I mean it's not like a burner by any means, but he's a solid runner, you know, big time power upside That's been hitting for you know from more contact this year as well. 05:58.181 --> 06:02.485 [SPEAKER_02]: I wish it really I think spend the the biggest encouraging thing for me at least is 06:02.765 --> 06:04.726 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, we knew the power speed blend was there. 06:04.746 --> 06:05.646 [SPEAKER_02]: We knew it was fun. 06:05.706 --> 06:16.471 [SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, getting that contact right up about five, six percent into that low, like the 72, 70% range after being sub 70% last year is really encouraging. 06:16.672 --> 06:24.135 [SPEAKER_02]: And maybe more than the 260 is hit or long term, but could be a 30 homer guy, 20 steals, get some base at a good clip. 06:24.555 --> 06:28.017 [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, like you mentioned, Max Clark and hope that's a really fun. 06:28.577 --> 06:32.900 [SPEAKER_02]: really fun duo out on that out field for Detroit obviously, you know, Bradley Green. 06:32.940 --> 06:34.981 [SPEAKER_02]: So Detroit's definitely building something. 06:35.102 --> 06:40.105 [SPEAKER_02]: Love the reworked their rotation a little bit, but yeah, this is a definitely a fun deal here. 06:40.205 --> 06:42.847 [SPEAKER_02]: And River Ryan, I mean, he's a solid arm. 06:42.867 --> 06:51.953 [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's more like, you know, mid rotation number three starter type than, you know, a top two guy in the rotation, but he should have a chance to finally, 06:52.533 --> 06:55.154 [SPEAKER_02]: graduate from prospect status. 06:55.554 --> 06:56.195 [SPEAKER_02]: I tweeted out. 06:57.015 --> 07:10.561 [SPEAKER_02]: I just found it too because I was quote tweeting it because on the 30th few days ago, my Dodgers wishless for the deadline slash rest of season was one trade away at least one of your elite outfield prospects to a team with a clear path to play time. 07:11.121 --> 07:17.124 [SPEAKER_02]: Check and then I said to give River Ryan enough service time and or innings to give him 07:17.804 --> 07:19.366 [SPEAKER_02]: out of prospect eligibility. 07:19.386 --> 07:21.468 [SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully this trade will do that as well. 07:21.549 --> 07:28.957 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, well, hopefully, you know, you should be right up at some point to see as I think he's dealing with a hamstring issue right now. 07:29.298 --> 07:32.661 [SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see, but yeah, definitely a fun trade. 07:33.302 --> 07:34.322 [SPEAKER_02]: no doubt about that. 07:34.862 --> 07:42.564 [SPEAKER_02]: Another big trade here going, you know, from the, you know, Los Angeles Angels this time, not the Dodgers. 07:43.464 --> 07:45.745 [SPEAKER_02]: Angels sold a few guys at the deadline. 07:46.385 --> 07:55.667 [SPEAKER_02]: First one that kind of broke earlier in the day was Jose Soriano going to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for 07:57.767 --> 08:06.892 [SPEAKER_02]: Eddie McEletty and on Hell Rivera, all minor leagueers with them all of being the most exciting name there by a pretty solid margin. 08:07.492 --> 08:12.154 [SPEAKER_02]: But let's start with Jose Soriano, really fun arm Toby. 08:12.255 --> 08:15.156 [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, God, that was that first what six seven starts with the season. 08:15.176 --> 08:19.398 [SPEAKER_02]: He had what I guess a zero point for something he had right or whatever it was. 08:19.678 --> 08:20.659 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's out. 08:21.119 --> 08:26.801 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then he sends, you know, kind of gone back to his up and down ways, which he kind of been for the majority of his career. 08:27.081 --> 08:35.043 [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, Toronto has unlocked a few guys recently, and then they've kind of, you know, gotten cease to be more consistent, you know, will you borrow in to another guy? 08:35.063 --> 08:36.984 [SPEAKER_02]: And I saw right on it's a really fun army. 08:37.004 --> 08:39.604 [SPEAKER_02]: You got the, you know, two fastballs in the upper 90s. 08:40.005 --> 08:42.285 [SPEAKER_02]: You got the knuckle curve in the splitter that can miss bats. 08:42.805 --> 08:44.306 [SPEAKER_02]: And this is a really fun arm. 08:44.406 --> 08:46.386 [SPEAKER_02]: So are you intrigued by, 08:48.957 --> 08:49.618 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure. 08:49.658 --> 09:01.654 [SPEAKER_01]: I think there are some arms in there staff right now that do some similar things to him and I think that he can kind of build more off of his game just being around pictures that are maybe more like him. 09:02.836 --> 09:05.479 [SPEAKER_01]: Also just playing in a bigger market in Toronto that. 09:06.433 --> 09:09.456 [SPEAKER_01]: just likely does a way better job at just developing him more. 09:09.476 --> 09:10.978 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he still is only 27. 09:11.018 --> 09:12.819 [SPEAKER_01]: So they have a prime Jose Soriano. 09:12.860 --> 09:18.105 [SPEAKER_01]: And still lots of unlock here, you know, you've seen what he can do in small sample sizes. 09:18.125 --> 09:22.169 [SPEAKER_01]: It's just a matter of can the blue jays, maybe clean up the walks a little bit. 09:22.229 --> 09:24.992 [SPEAKER_01]: Can they maybe clean up how, 09:26.000 --> 09:37.036 [SPEAKER_01]: hard hit the EVs that he's giving up are like just little things that I feel like he's in a better spot to improve if he's at Toronto and not necessarily in Anaheim. 09:38.552 --> 09:44.139 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's kind of my thought about this too is that I just don't have a lot of confidence in the angels. 09:44.180 --> 09:46.603 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry to all the angel strands listening. 09:46.723 --> 09:51.309 [SPEAKER_02]: I just they don't do well in these situations often right. 09:51.349 --> 09:55.574 [SPEAKER_02]: So I think getting him into Toronto is an a lot of good or more good. 09:56.015 --> 10:21.179 [SPEAKER_02]: you know in in these situations was really exciting and you know in fact that he's been a really really fun arm like to the stuff is really really good the velocity the movement it's all super exciting and he looked at some of the the guys he's compared to it's like Ebro Cabrera a fraction asked craft Kate Gavali you know these are some pretty fun arms here and he's shown at times he can be in the lead arm it's just not consistently and 10:21.459 --> 10:29.690 [SPEAKER_02]: I think that all kind of circles back around to just the command and control being in a kind of spotty at times where he'll try to nibble too much. 10:30.171 --> 10:33.235 [SPEAKER_02]: Doesn't really harness his pitches and use them the most effective way. 10:33.676 --> 10:36.099 [SPEAKER_02]: And then just limiting the walks has been an issue for him as well. 10:36.812 --> 10:45.514 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm really excited to see what, you know, a new team can maybe unlock with Soriano because, you know, he's shown that he could be a top 25 arm in this game for fantasy. 10:45.594 --> 10:52.696 [SPEAKER_02]: We'll see if Toronto can unlock it, but, you know, they did give up a pretty good prospect going back in this deal. 10:52.756 --> 10:58.237 [SPEAKER_02]: In Argin the Mala 20 years old, you know, it will be 21 in mid October. 11:00.538 --> 11:07.285 [SPEAKER_02]: and 264 plate appearances this year between mostly between high-A and AA at a few games in low-A on a rehab assignment. 11:07.785 --> 11:10.888 [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty solid year, 265, 364, 453, slash line, eight home runs, six deals, 18 doubles, 11:15.933 --> 11:16.453 [SPEAKER_02]: as well. 11:17.033 --> 11:18.954 [SPEAKER_02]: Toby, you know, a lot of power upside here. 11:18.974 --> 11:22.755 [SPEAKER_02]: It's actually some similarities between the mala and the desire hope. 11:22.795 --> 11:27.296 [SPEAKER_02]: I do like hope, you know, a good bit more than the mala, but there's, you know, plenty of power. 11:27.636 --> 11:35.738 [SPEAKER_02]: There are some contact questions, but, you know, he's kind of improved, you know, that, you know, that a little bit this season as well, a little bit speed as, you know, here with him as well. 11:36.198 --> 11:37.678 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, what do you thought's on the mala? 11:37.698 --> 11:41.319 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you think he can be a, you know, high impact fantasy bat down the road? 11:42.277 --> 11:49.751 [SPEAKER_01]: I sure hope so because he's been making a ton of strides, especially as of late, I didn't expect him to get traded honestly, especially in this package. 11:51.122 --> 12:04.649 [SPEAKER_01]: I know for Jose Sorion, you had to give up something of value, but, you know, as soon as I sat down at work to see Argin and Mala has been traded, it was like, okay, I got to kind of lock in now and really focus on what's being sent over in trade returns here. 12:05.169 --> 12:14.393 [SPEAKER_01]: But the Angel's got a great prospect in Mala and since he has come up to AA at least as a 20 year old, he's been really good at just keeping the ball off the ground, doesn't chase that much. 12:14.993 --> 12:15.854 [SPEAKER_01]: But there just is still 12:20.703 --> 12:21.884 [SPEAKER_01]: It'll get better at some point. 12:22.465 --> 12:24.127 [SPEAKER_01]: If you could just clean up the wiff a little bit. 12:25.468 --> 12:26.910 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe be a little bit more aggressive. 12:26.930 --> 12:28.351 [SPEAKER_01]: It might lead to a little bit more contact. 12:28.371 --> 12:32.395 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see, but again, great power upside keeps the ball off the ground. 12:32.415 --> 12:38.362 [SPEAKER_01]: Like I already mentioned, that's something to like there and just hope that you can continue to make strides with the angels. 12:38.402 --> 12:38.682 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not 12:39.082 --> 12:41.504 [SPEAKER_01]: Really sure how they're gonna approach his development. 12:41.644 --> 13:07.258 [SPEAKER_01]: I really honestly preferred him in Toronto I thought that he was just growing so well as a prospect there and was really blossoming in to the player that they thought he could really be But very high ceiling here and we'll see if the angels can tap into that or if they fast-track him and Doesn't end up working out, but I really hope that it works out for him because again He's made great strides and you never want to root against a player either obviously 13:08.031 --> 13:08.271 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 13:08.532 --> 13:09.032 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 13:09.132 --> 13:18.302 [SPEAKER_02]: I hope they don't fast track him because they he's shown that even though he is 20 in double a, that there's definitely still some development left before he's, you know, Major league ready. 13:18.803 --> 13:21.526 [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I was definitely surprised at them dealing him as well. 13:21.566 --> 13:27.352 [SPEAKER_02]: So she after, you know, one their first trades Toronto, I mean, of the day was getting something. 13:27.952 --> 13:40.943 [SPEAKER_02]: Gauceman to the Cubs, so all right, you know, Toronto's selling the name of this deal with the acquired Soriano and give up one of the top projects in the same, you know, trade, but I would I but when I did see this trade 13:41.856 --> 13:44.417 [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, all right, neto is absolutely getting dealt. 13:44.457 --> 13:50.439 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, this is the angels getting neto's replacement, but neto, you know, still on the angels. 13:50.939 --> 13:52.479 [SPEAKER_02]: After the deadline, we'll see if that changes. 13:52.499 --> 13:55.480 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe this Aussies and they just still look to trade on this, obviously, a possibility. 13:56.161 --> 14:00.642 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, this is a potential 25, you know, maybe even a 30-hummer bat. 14:01.002 --> 14:03.003 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, you still got some projection on the frame too. 14:03.023 --> 14:06.824 [SPEAKER_02]: We still want a little bit on the, on the slider side, but you still pretty strong. 14:07.304 --> 14:09.685 [SPEAKER_02]: I want a bat speed here, quick twitch, guys. 14:10.285 --> 14:33.970 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely like the prospect he's you know, I think he's my number he's around like 90 overall for me just in the backset on my top 100 And I think maybe baseball America has him as like in the 30s I think so I think he's higher and some other publications in the mind But you definitely a fun prospect hopefully the angels don't mess him up, but yeah another trade with a pretty fun arm going to a new or 14:34.570 --> 14:42.461 [SPEAKER_02]: We have Ferti Paralta going to the Tampa Bay Race from the Metz in exchange for 8 in Smith outfield prospect. 14:42.862 --> 14:50.713 [SPEAKER_02]: Gary Gilhill, pitching prospect and a million pitcher A infield prospect, mental and field prospect going back to the Metz here. 14:51.153 --> 14:57.978 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, Freddie, you know, he was, you know, for the most part steady Eddie or steady Freddie, I should say, you know, over the last few years. 14:58.018 --> 15:01.721 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the guy that, you know, had a pretty good ERA for the most part. 15:01.741 --> 15:05.824 [SPEAKER_02]: He had a bit under a four ERA every year since 2020. 15:06.264 --> 15:07.965 [SPEAKER_02]: It was 270 last year. 15:07.985 --> 15:14.730 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he was coming off really, and you can make an argument that was the best year of his career or second best year of his career at the 2021 last year. 15:20.734 --> 15:40.541 [SPEAKER_02]: But this year, this hasn't worked out for $4.99 ERA, $148 whip, and he's a $5.99 record, just really not being the Freddie that we've come to really know and can count on for the last, you know, six, seven, eight years, you know, throughout his time, you know, in Milwaukee, but now, hey, he's in Tampa Bay now. 15:40.981 --> 15:45.946 [SPEAKER_02]: you know, he's guy I was writing about him earlier where there's not like a lot of big differences. 15:45.966 --> 15:48.328 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he didn't like change the pitch mix a lot this year. 15:48.348 --> 15:54.254 [SPEAKER_02]: He's still, you know, pretty much a 85 or so percent going with the four seamer change up and curve ball. 15:54.914 --> 15:57.637 [SPEAKER_02]: Just not missing as as many bats this year to wait for it to go on down. 15:57.677 --> 15:58.538 [SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of been the thing. 15:58.558 --> 15:59.318 [SPEAKER_02]: They come in. 15:59.338 --> 16:04.223 [SPEAKER_02]: Looks like it's been not quite as good, especially with the breakers, the sliders all over the place this year. 16:04.243 --> 16:05.925 [SPEAKER_02]: So I wonder, you know, 16:06.525 --> 16:16.871 [SPEAKER_02]: with him being in tip of bay now, you know, Toby as we know, tip of bay, one of the best orgs, especially on pitching developments, both in the miners and at the major league. 16:16.891 --> 16:22.014 [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm pretty confident that they can kind of write the ship here with Freddy. 16:22.074 --> 16:27.998 [SPEAKER_02]: Make that tweak or two because there's still a lot of good under the hood, so they can make that tweak and get him back to his previous way. 16:28.018 --> 16:32.381 [SPEAKER_02]: So in a dynasty format, I would absolutely be looking to buy Freddy. 16:32.901 --> 16:37.668 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, for all the if the price I just come down at all because yeah, I like this move a lot for Tampa Bay. 16:38.713 --> 16:39.434 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree. 16:39.574 --> 16:44.417 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if they weren't going to get school, this was in my opinion, one of the next best moves that they could have made. 16:44.938 --> 16:54.805 [SPEAKER_01]: You saw, over the course of his career, what Freddie Perlts could do in a smaller market on a winning team, and now he's going to a rotation where he's not going to be expected to be the ace. 16:55.506 --> 17:02.131 [SPEAKER_01]: They obviously have Martinez and Rasmussen doing great things there, so if he slides in there as the number three, that's going to be a really tough rotation. 17:02.151 --> 17:05.313 [SPEAKER_01]: They have to face in October, especially if they get Perlts back to form. 17:05.915 --> 17:07.676 [SPEAKER_01]: And like you said, the development there is great. 17:08.117 --> 17:11.980 [SPEAKER_01]: I think with less expectations, he's not coming in as the ace of a New York team. 17:12.040 --> 17:17.124 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he can really bounce back and I think he can close out the 20, 20, 60s in on a high note. 17:18.084 --> 17:21.847 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm very much in on a bounce back for him. 17:22.508 --> 17:24.129 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it doesn't happen right away. 17:24.389 --> 17:29.933 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's more so offseason in the next year, but hip-a-bay has a way of working their magic on on arms. 17:30.033 --> 17:34.337 [SPEAKER_02]: So if anybody were to kind of fix him this year on the fly, 17:34.997 --> 17:49.895 [SPEAKER_02]: It, you know, one of those teams that I would outbank on would be a Tampa Bay raise and going back to the Met's here, they did a few moves today, but in this move, you know, they got back, you know, Aden Smith, Gary Gilhill and Emilian Petrae, you know, Aden Smith was a guy. 17:50.335 --> 17:54.016 [SPEAKER_02]: I think they had the most intrigue, especially coming into the year. 17:54.036 --> 18:05.158 [SPEAKER_02]: He was, I think, at least for me, back and up, 100 coming off a pretty good year last year, 14 bombs, 41 steals, you know, though, you know, Blasher, he did kind of drop a little bit in value as well. 18:05.619 --> 18:11.360 [SPEAKER_02]: Just the K rate's gotten pretty high from, you know, his earlier years in the low miners last year. 18:11.920 --> 18:32.848 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, the K rate was 31.2% this year, 30.1% still has 10 bombs and 16 steals and 59 games, but that slash line still pretty poor overall 209, 281, 391, with a 68 WRC plus, you know, do you still have any confidence and aid to Smith, maybe bouncing back? 18:32.888 --> 18:37.470 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, five little power speed blend, but the striker rates gave pretty concerning at this point. 18:38.853 --> 18:40.354 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, we'll just have to see. 18:40.394 --> 18:42.575 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not too sure how I feel about Eden Smith. 18:42.615 --> 18:51.360 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he does have some pretty interesting tools to offer them at, but he doesn't have great swing decisions. 18:51.380 --> 18:57.544 [SPEAKER_01]: He does have very intriguing power, but a lot to improve, it's going to be a project for sure. 18:57.564 --> 19:00.105 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure how sold I am at this point. 19:01.446 --> 19:04.028 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, at this point, I don't know. 19:05.147 --> 19:23.665 [SPEAKER_02]: I said the carate spent up there for a few years now even like 2024 it went down 23% 2023 it was 2829% so for the most part outside of 2024 you said a pretty high strike rate contact rates have been you know they weren't terrible for the most part there and still even this year is around like 69 70% it's not terrible but 19:25.687 --> 19:32.935 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's definitely some work to be done here, but if you can just get, you know, that can't rate down a few percentage points, I mean, there's a fun player potentially here. 19:32.975 --> 19:38.301 [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not writing them off, but yeah, there's definitely some work to be done with Aden Smith. 19:39.022 --> 19:41.625 [SPEAKER_02]: And next deal here, this is a pretty fun deal. 19:41.645 --> 19:43.948 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the name going at the major league side, wasn't the, 19:44.368 --> 19:57.061 [SPEAKER_02]: biggest name like the last few we've talked about, but Dustin May and Joe Joe Romero went to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league outfield prospects, Josiah Ragsdale and Alexander Freyos. 19:58.573 --> 20:12.116 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's start with actually, it was sort of the prospects here first, Toby, because these are two guys that are having really, he really good seasons, especially just say a ragsdale is put up some really exciting numbers here in the minor leagues. 20:12.136 --> 20:23.779 [SPEAKER_02]: Both of these guys, I think, you can make a case at their top 100, especially from a fantasy focused kind of rankings here, and even in real life rankings, there's a lot of fun 20:28.740 --> 20:45.394 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, a video game type of season, 19 bombs, 31 steals in 86 games between high A and AA, slashing 316, 441, 581, and then out of the winter free us in 60 games between complex and low A, slashing 342, 427, 553, 8 bombs and 19 steals. 20:45.414 --> 20:48.636 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, a lot of that was done at the complex where I get 441. 20:57.450 --> 21:01.611 [SPEAKER_02]: Struggling a little bit in low A, but not even that bad. 21:01.691 --> 21:04.532 [SPEAKER_02]: He's got a 93 WRC plus as 18 euros. 21:04.592 --> 21:05.712 [SPEAKER_02]: That's definitely fine. 21:05.732 --> 21:08.093 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not really knocking him too much of that. 21:08.193 --> 21:13.514 [SPEAKER_02]: But again, two really fun prospects here with Ragsdale and free us. 21:13.734 --> 21:15.275 [SPEAKER_02]: So what do you thoughts here on these duo? 21:15.455 --> 21:15.695 [SPEAKER_02]: Toby. 21:16.797 --> 21:24.780 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, out of all the trades that we saw this deadline, you know, including the schoolable trade, the Ruchman trade, this might be my favorite package that a team got as a return. 21:24.800 --> 21:26.180 [SPEAKER_01]: And it was only two projects. 21:26.200 --> 21:26.380 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 21:26.720 --> 21:32.082 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was over the moon at work going just over, like, did they really do this? 21:32.122 --> 21:40.085 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I expected Ragsdale to get moved, because I mean, it's just a crowded outfield room there, but I didn't expect freest to be moved in the same package as him. 21:40.185 --> 21:42.346 [SPEAKER_01]: So to see that in the same division, too. 21:43.866 --> 21:47.771 [SPEAKER_01]: really good job by the Cardinals to sell, I guess, hi there on Dustin May there. 21:48.913 --> 21:57.984 [SPEAKER_01]: Ragsdale, I mean, I know I've seen people make comments about his defense and how it's not really too polished yet, but everything else has came through this year. 21:58.004 --> 22:02.230 [SPEAKER_01]: It's just been an unbelievable breakout, and especially over the last, like, 22:03.453 --> 22:05.234 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's like 15 to 20 games or something. 22:05.255 --> 22:23.410 [SPEAKER_01]: I think the last 10 games he's had like nine homers or probably a little bit more, or a little bit less than that obviously because we're past like that stretch or whatever, but getting a very young raw prospect in for us who is great raw power, starting to transition it into games more, I think the cardinals did really well with this trade. 22:24.427 --> 22:42.893 [SPEAKER_02]: I did too, I just funny you mentioned that because I was kind of like the exact same thought I had where I'm like, this might be the most like sneaky fun trade of the day just given that these two prospects are both very exciting in their own right, I mean, Regsdale, big time athlete, plenty of speed, pretty solid for hot power as well. 22:43.473 --> 22:51.940 [SPEAKER_02]: free as kind of the opposite word, you know, the power is more prominent than the speed, but, you know, he can steal some bags as well, you know, contact skills pretty solid. 22:52.040 --> 22:55.322 [SPEAKER_02]: And then Ragsdale, I've, every pretty good contact skills as well. 22:55.342 --> 22:57.464 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, 75 ish percent this year. 22:58.104 --> 23:07.792 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, these, these two guys, when looking at it through a fantasy lens, definitely are very, very exciting, given that, you know, the power speed blend that they bring the table. 23:08.192 --> 23:13.376 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, solid contact skills, you know, there's a little bit of a swing and miss issue with Ragsdale. 23:13.416 --> 23:22.222 [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe a little bit more of a lower floor for him than with Freyas, but, you know, Freyas has been, you know, pretty good in the approach department as well. 23:22.342 --> 23:28.987 [SPEAKER_02]: 11% walk rate, 17 and a half percent key rate and kind of holding his own as an 18 year old in low way as well. 23:29.247 --> 23:36.372 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, these two are very, very exciting, you know, Freyas, I think is already top 100 caliber Ragsdale on the rise as well. 23:36.932 --> 23:39.654 [SPEAKER_02]: two really really fun projects going back to St. Louis here. 23:40.334 --> 23:47.399 [SPEAKER_02]: But then Dustin May, going to Milwaukee, I mean, I'm kind of done dealing with Dustin May at this point. 23:47.980 --> 24:00.548 [SPEAKER_02]: He's having a decent little bounce back this year to some degree, you know, 438 ERA, 128 whip, nearly a caper inning, you know, but I just feel I've been burned in my Dustin May way too many times, Toby. 24:01.048 --> 24:01.429 [SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, 24:05.171 --> 24:12.157 [SPEAKER_02]: So, I'm definitely intrigued to see what happens here, what changes they make, what they're able to possibly unlock. 24:12.998 --> 24:14.199 [SPEAKER_02]: Are you intrigued here by this to me? 24:14.279 --> 24:15.260 [SPEAKER_02]: With Mozmoaki? 24:16.190 --> 24:22.732 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would say so, especially because of the start that he had to this year, and I think we both really thought you was going to turn a corner, at least I did. 24:24.032 --> 24:35.735 [SPEAKER_01]: So, I trust that they can maybe look back to those early starts and say, maybe this is what was going right for you, this is what was going wrong for you, and really tweak something there and help him finish out the last two months of the year strong. 24:37.015 --> 24:38.236 [SPEAKER_01]: I like the move for them. 24:38.256 --> 24:42.817 [SPEAKER_01]: I just can't say that I like hit more than the return that they gave the Cardinals. 24:43.842 --> 25:00.230 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought that was definitely an overpay, but hey, Milwaukee, if they trade for for me, they obviously had to see something where they're like, all right, we can, you know, adjust that, tweak that, you know, you have to use this pitch more or less, so they definitely saw something. 25:00.410 --> 25:08.535 [SPEAKER_02]: If that's for sure, Milwaukee doesn't make a trip like this without, you know, really wanting to kind of fine tune the arm that they're getting and they've had a really good 25:09.895 --> 25:22.879 [SPEAKER_02]: over the last few years, especially so I'm intrigued to see what they do with him, but yeah, Ragsdale, Friass, definitely to really, really exciting prospects going back to St. Louis in the steel. 25:23.619 --> 25:28.140 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, one more bigger pitching move here before we get over some of the hitting moves, 25:28.600 --> 25:53.317 [SPEAKER_02]: and this was came came in right at the you know the deadline right around 6 p.m. That's Casey Mies going to the San Diego Padres you know Padres don't seem to have any projects left but they always sort of you know they always find a few to trade every deadline you know and this year it was a few different moves but in this one cash may feel being the big name going back to Detroit also Jackson Wolf another young pitcher as well 25:54.298 --> 25:57.139 [SPEAKER_02]: Casey Ma is another name, you know, bigger name. 25:57.259 --> 26:00.341 [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously he was number one overall pick back in 2018. 26:00.381 --> 26:09.344 [SPEAKER_02]: So he's always had that allure of being a number one overall pick, you know, an elite pitching prospect handful of years ago, actually more than a handful of years ago at this point. 26:09.364 --> 26:10.825 [SPEAKER_02]: And more like six or seven years ago. 26:11.319 --> 26:22.442 [SPEAKER_02]: I went when I was seeing him in AA, but this year, maybe his best year yet, you know, coming off a lot of up and down years where he'd give you flashes, but never consistently. 26:22.822 --> 26:30.444 [SPEAKER_02]: But this year in 16 starts 270 ERA, 0.99 lip, 5.5% walkerate, which is pretty status cool for him, but a career best 24.9% K-Ray and a lot of red. 26:36.045 --> 26:43.491 [SPEAKER_02]: on the on the page to be, you know, my is one that's been really interesting to me because he's kind of changed as a pitcher over the years. 26:43.531 --> 26:46.993 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the splitter was a huge offering for him. 26:47.013 --> 26:51.036 [SPEAKER_02]: And when he was a prospect, they kind of went away for a minute and it wasn't quite as effective. 26:51.056 --> 26:52.257 [SPEAKER_02]: And now he's got to bring it back. 26:53.117 --> 27:06.203 [SPEAKER_02]: and really having that be a really big offering for him this year, 35% way for eight to 13 betting average against the most strikeouts he has and any one offering, you know, and he's, you know, forcing him or so, I'd have been pretty solid as well. 27:06.223 --> 27:09.765 [SPEAKER_02]: All three of those offerings betting average against under 220. 27:10.505 --> 27:15.247 [SPEAKER_02]: So are you, are you kind of buying the, we surges, we've seen him casing my eyes? 27:15.267 --> 27:21.870 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I've been kind of skeptical in the past, but from what I've seen this year, I think there's a lot of legitimacy here to what we're seeing from from casing my eyes. 27:22.717 --> 27:23.798 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I completely agree. 27:23.978 --> 27:27.539 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's hard to poke some holes in his game this year. 27:27.639 --> 27:30.901 [SPEAKER_01]: And numbers across the board have just been really good. 27:31.081 --> 27:32.742 [SPEAKER_01]: So I almost missed this trade, actually. 27:32.762 --> 27:35.443 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm really glad I didn't, because this was also a really good move. 27:35.783 --> 27:38.324 [SPEAKER_01]: You knew probably was gonna do something towards the end of the deadline. 27:38.364 --> 27:40.205 [SPEAKER_01]: And you went out and you got a really good arm. 27:41.381 --> 27:42.763 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, absolutely. 27:42.783 --> 27:49.110 [SPEAKER_02]: They've, if we needed to get an arm or two to solidify that rotation and they got it here with GC-Mise. 27:49.691 --> 27:58.362 [SPEAKER_02]: Going the other way here, cash may feel, this is the fun arm I, you know, I think a lot of rankings, you see some that have, you know, may feel ahead of school craft. 27:58.762 --> 28:03.588 [SPEAKER_02]: You know something that you see, spacecraft ahead of Mayfield, I've always been a little bit more partial to Mayfield. 28:03.628 --> 28:09.535 [SPEAKER_02]: Is that any more of the safer arm of the two with spacecraft being more of that fun upside guy? 28:09.595 --> 28:12.798 [SPEAKER_02]: But now, what do you think here on Cache Me if you'll go into Detroit? 28:13.713 --> 28:16.274 [SPEAKER_01]: He's really impressed me, especially this season. 28:16.554 --> 28:19.735 [SPEAKER_01]: It seems like he just continues to grow as a pitcher year and in year out. 28:19.815 --> 28:23.356 [SPEAKER_01]: And I love the frame that he offers six foot four, 200 pounds. 28:23.396 --> 28:34.699 [SPEAKER_01]: I think there is a lot to like your four Detroit, especially after you just got rid of an amazing left-handed pitcher, not saying cash may fields can be tarick school, but cash may fields a great starter. 28:34.739 --> 28:36.740 [SPEAKER_01]: He probably will be a great starter. 28:36.780 --> 28:37.060 [SPEAKER_01]: He's a 28:37.653 --> 28:42.398 [SPEAKER_01]: Former first round pick does a lot of things really well, gets a ton of whiff, gets a lot of strikeouts. 28:43.019 --> 28:45.862 [SPEAKER_01]: Some things to clean up, you can maybe keep the ball on the ground a little bit more. 28:46.322 --> 28:52.569 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe throw a bit more strikes as well, but that's something that I think the Tigers will help them address and will help them address well. 28:53.290 --> 28:54.011 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm very excited. 28:54.051 --> 28:58.556 [SPEAKER_01]: I think that, again, was a great return for them, especially right here at the end of the deadline. 28:59.701 --> 29:11.825 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and wrote that that sneaky last minute deal here and you know, I'd love to see maybe add another tick or two of velocity that fastball, but he's got a solid breaker, really good feel for his change up. 29:12.485 --> 29:15.626 [SPEAKER_02]: And even as is right now, I mean, he's got that he can miss bats. 29:15.666 --> 29:19.167 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's switching strike rate of about 14% this year with rates over 30% you know, 29:24.128 --> 29:25.009 [SPEAKER_02]: terrible by any means. 29:25.029 --> 29:26.750 [SPEAKER_02]: He's been right on that 10 to 11% range. 29:27.410 --> 29:34.755 [SPEAKER_02]: But 29% strikeout rate as well, 2 to 12 betting average against this year in high AA 54 year. 29:34.955 --> 29:37.576 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, pretty solid year for may field. 29:37.596 --> 29:40.418 [SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy that's just outside my top 100 right now. 29:40.818 --> 29:45.261 [SPEAKER_02]: But I think you could definitely tick up and maybe get back in that top 100 pretty soon here. 29:45.321 --> 29:52.326 [SPEAKER_02]: So definitely intriguing arm to say the least here going back to the Detroit Tigers in the steel. 29:53.066 --> 29:55.867 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's go over to some hitting moves here. 29:56.407 --> 30:10.774 [SPEAKER_02]: Starting with the guy that is currently leading the national league in sluggy percentage, Louis Garcia Jr. You know, Toby, if I told you that on August 3rd of this season that Louis Garcia Jr. would be leading the national league in sluggy percentage, what would you have said to that? 30:12.294 --> 30:14.555 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I would have honestly had an answer for you. 30:14.575 --> 30:16.936 [SPEAKER_01]: I would have just thought you were making just a sick joke at me. 30:18.357 --> 30:19.817 [SPEAKER_02]: Just saying stuff to say stuff. 30:19.857 --> 30:20.598 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah. 30:21.470 --> 30:34.514 [SPEAKER_02]: It's just one of the things where you're like, all right, all right, buddy, whatever you say, but you know, like move on your crazy, whatever, but yeah, I mean, he's got a 559 sub percentage right now 23 bombs. 30:34.534 --> 30:41.857 [SPEAKER_02]: So he's blowing past a lot of his career highs or is on pace to do so, you know, like, and runs in our bi, et cetera. 30:42.657 --> 30:45.319 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's been hitting the ball a lot harder this year. 30:45.339 --> 30:52.784 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, hard hit rates actually the exact same, but average EVs up, ticking a half, barrel rates up, three and a half percent. 30:52.804 --> 30:59.609 [SPEAKER_02]: Wall still keep in the carate low, you know, giving you the above average, or really plus or better contact rates as well. 31:00.189 --> 31:05.953 [SPEAKER_02]: See, yeah, I mean, he's aggressive, he's always been aggressive, high chase rate low, walk rate, that's been the status quo for him. 31:06.033 --> 31:09.175 [SPEAKER_02]: But in fact, he's beginning the ball, pulling the ball a little bit more. 31:09.683 --> 31:13.705 [SPEAKER_02]: You know getting involved in the air a little bit more, you know hitting the ball harder work consistently. 31:13.725 --> 31:15.386 [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a lot of good here. 31:15.406 --> 31:16.746 [SPEAKER_02]: And now he's going to the Yankees. 31:16.766 --> 31:20.208 [SPEAKER_02]: That's you know a good ballpark for him to be in. 31:20.728 --> 31:26.390 [SPEAKER_02]: Though the lineup might be a little bit worse than the nationals of the enough, but you know, we're now with Judge on the IL. 31:26.450 --> 31:31.873 [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, do you think this is a kind of a neutral move for his value or a nice little uptick in value? 31:31.893 --> 31:34.194 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's an uptick in value. 31:34.234 --> 31:38.976 [SPEAKER_01]: And I think the the one thing you have to look at here to realize that is his spray chart from this year. 31:40.047 --> 31:43.509 [SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty much all into right field for his home runs. 31:43.569 --> 31:46.931 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's only going to get easier for him in Yankee Stadium. 31:46.971 --> 31:55.756 [SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, they, whenever the Yankees make like a move for a left-handed hitter at the deadline, it's like, oh, well, this is such a good move because the short port he's going to excel here. 31:55.796 --> 32:04.281 [SPEAKER_01]: But this is actually one of those moves where I do agree with that, especially because of the fact that he just burrows the ball up so much and he just makes really good consistent quality contact. 32:04.341 --> 32:04.641 [SPEAKER_01]: I think. 32:05.519 --> 32:18.750 [SPEAKER_01]: little translate well as long as he can handle the New York market, it sometimes is tough for players who just kind of get thrusted into it to be able to handle, you know, the media attention and the fans and everything, but he's having a great year already. 32:18.911 --> 32:23.855 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I would only think that this gives him a better shot of just producing even more. 32:25.441 --> 32:28.122 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm always going to be a little concerned about the aggressiveness. 32:28.662 --> 32:31.763 [SPEAKER_02]: I am with any player with this high of a chase rate and this level of walk rate. 32:32.144 --> 32:36.205 [SPEAKER_02]: And like, you know, Sudon Raffiella, another example of that, though he's a very different hitter. 32:36.765 --> 32:40.126 [SPEAKER_02]: But the fact that Garcia has always had really good contact rates. 32:40.767 --> 32:50.230 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's more so like, if the contact rates were like, you know, a little average, I'd be a little bit more concerned, but he's always made contact at a, you know, either a good 32:55.646 --> 32:57.066 [SPEAKER_02]: 80 and a half percent overall. 32:57.086 --> 32:59.687 [SPEAKER_02]: Those are very, very good numbers. 32:59.707 --> 33:03.708 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's been, you know, pretty much in that range for the last several years. 33:03.728 --> 33:10.810 [SPEAKER_02]: He's been above 87% zone contact rate each of the last four years despite the chase rate actually going up each of the last three seasons. 33:10.850 --> 33:12.710 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, he makes it work. 33:12.950 --> 33:15.451 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's never going to be at the high O BP guys, but 33:15.911 --> 33:31.256 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, he's hit over 280 and two of the last three years, including this year, and he uptick in power this year, maybe he's not going to stick as a 30 homeer guy every single year, but maybe he can be more than that mid-teens homeer and guy that he was the last few years. 33:31.777 --> 33:37.979 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm definitely kind of believing in this breakup from Garcia, and good spot here for him landing. 33:38.599 --> 33:52.822 [SPEAKER_02]: with the New York Yankees or sent back some some pictures aren't really you know fantasy relevance and here that there was relievers you'll find a cruise, Jake bird and Ben Grable and also starter jack seabirds. 33:53.402 --> 34:01.104 [SPEAKER_02]: So you may be somebody to guys factor into the the bullpen mix here for nationals but none of them really fantasy relevant at the moment and 34:01.774 --> 34:19.293 [SPEAKER_02]: going to the Yankees rival in my Boston Red Sox, you may be the biggest deal of the day sending former number one overall pick and number one prospect at the Richmond to the Red Sox and exchange for a pretty good return here. 34:19.713 --> 34:22.757 [SPEAKER_02]: Carlos Nerviahs went back, this is a catcher going back to Baltimore. 34:23.117 --> 34:38.669 [SPEAKER_02]: but the prospects return was Anthony Iensen, Kaisan witherspoon, and the Azacar and Harold Rivas, you know, the last two being outbuilders, first two being pitchers with Iensen being the big name here. 34:39.249 --> 34:41.170 [SPEAKER_02]: And what were your thoughts on this deal, Toby? 34:41.190 --> 34:50.795 [SPEAKER_02]: I know we were talking about it, you know, through text a little bit, you know, when a lot of the rumors are starting to really kick up before the deal actually happens in the Yankees we're checking in on it as on him as well. 34:50.815 --> 35:05.423 [SPEAKER_02]: I think I heard like Elmer Rodriguez was a name that might have been going back as the headliner for a Yankees return, but, you know, what are your thoughts here on Adley going to the Red Sox and that pretty sizable package of pretty fun prospects going back to Baltimore? 35:06.833 --> 35:13.498 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was stressing about this move for the entire time that it was happening because this seemed to be the trade that took the longest to actually complete today. 35:13.518 --> 35:18.502 [SPEAKER_01]: I know Adley's medicals were a big question mark, especially to Boston, but when I saw the tweet that was like, 35:19.368 --> 35:23.529 [SPEAKER_01]: Baltimore and Boston have, you know, mutually like agreed on terms. 35:23.569 --> 35:26.610 [SPEAKER_01]: It's just up to Boston now to pretty much give the A. 35:26.670 --> 35:26.950 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 35:26.990 --> 35:28.071 [SPEAKER_01]: Like yeah, we're good to do this. 35:28.791 --> 35:35.053 [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I was like, maybe there's hope that he doesn't go, but, you know, it happened. 35:35.113 --> 35:38.214 [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, good for Boston, keep in Franklin, are you us and and. 35:38.674 --> 35:44.896 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, still getting Adley Ruchman, but it does suck to see guys like Anthony Ionson and Kyson Weather Spoon move over. 35:44.976 --> 35:48.177 [SPEAKER_01]: Those were guys that I was really excited to see possibly break into the rotation there. 35:48.677 --> 35:50.838 [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, should be studs with Baltimore as well. 35:50.878 --> 35:54.099 [SPEAKER_01]: And I know both me and you don't really like to toss that word around very lightly. 35:54.699 --> 35:57.980 [SPEAKER_01]: But I do think they will develop into really solid starting pitchers there. 35:58.461 --> 36:03.042 [SPEAKER_01]: Andy Azacar really solid out field prospect that I think is being underrated by a lot of people, 36:06.385 --> 36:14.529 [SPEAKER_01]: across the board and on pretty much everybody's Baltimore list has been on fire at the plate recently and don't know too much about Harold Reeves. 36:14.649 --> 36:20.913 [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously I know a little bit more about Carlos Narvaya's coming over from the Yankees before the Red Sox, but really good package. 36:21.513 --> 36:25.775 [SPEAKER_01]: I thought both teams did really well and I'm excited to see Adley in Boston. 36:25.815 --> 36:26.296 [SPEAKER_01]: I can't lie. 36:26.316 --> 36:29.698 [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to make that Yankees boss and rivalry a little bit more 36:31.448 --> 36:32.469 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm always for that. 36:32.929 --> 36:34.090 [SPEAKER_02]: I've said several times. 36:34.110 --> 36:37.872 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought the rivalry got kind of stale the last handful years. 36:37.912 --> 36:39.454 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there was not as many fights. 36:39.494 --> 36:41.495 [SPEAKER_02]: They're all kind of buddy buddy with each other. 36:41.515 --> 36:42.375 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I hate that. 36:42.396 --> 36:47.099 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you do that, if you want to go to dinner with, you know, do it on your own time out on your on the field. 36:47.119 --> 36:48.139 [SPEAKER_02]: I want you guys hating each other. 36:48.460 --> 36:50.441 [SPEAKER_02]: That's what made that rivalry so good. 36:50.941 --> 36:51.462 [SPEAKER_02]: No, but. 36:52.042 --> 36:55.844 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this was a really interesting deal on on many levels. 36:55.924 --> 36:58.526 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I have mixed feelings about it as Red Sox fan. 36:58.546 --> 37:09.011 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I like Adley, you know, is he gonna be the, you know, the stud catcher, you know, stud fantasy guy probably not. 37:09.051 --> 37:10.172 [SPEAKER_02]: We haven't really seen that from him. 37:10.592 --> 37:12.113 [SPEAKER_02]: There was years where he was good. 37:12.213 --> 37:15.736 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there was any time where I was like, oh, wow, yeah, this is a stud. 37:16.257 --> 37:18.218 [SPEAKER_02]: But there's still some pretty good metrics under the hood. 37:18.658 --> 37:21.561 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's still above average in terms of quality of contact. 37:22.121 --> 37:25.984 [SPEAKER_02]: 42% hard hit rate, 89 and 1.5 mile an hour average EV. 37:26.545 --> 37:28.486 [SPEAKER_02]: The approach has always been really good. 37:28.526 --> 37:33.290 [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty good walk rate, key rate in that 15-ish percent range, give or take. 37:33.830 --> 37:35.512 [SPEAKER_02]: The angles pretty good as well. 37:36.012 --> 37:38.234 [SPEAKER_02]: He's a better from the right side than the left side, 37:39.975 --> 37:42.776 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's pretty good for family park as well. 37:42.896 --> 38:01.702 [SPEAKER_02]: You know always keeps the way freight low Chase rate low as well So yeah, I think he could still be like that back end top 10 Fantasy catcher you know got that's you know given you know two 70 average possibly though he hasn't been there in the last couple of years Like that guy is still in that got 270 like 18 the 20 bomb 38:04.043 --> 38:07.167 [SPEAKER_02]: Adley rush when like the skills are still there to be that guy. 38:07.207 --> 38:11.351 [SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see if he can come back healthy I mean, I think he's do for rehab assignment soon. 38:11.371 --> 38:22.564 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe this week from when I was hearing So maybe you get him back in Boston, maybe next week or so I think it could be a pretty fun fit there for the Red Sox, but yeah, that the prosper call 38:23.084 --> 38:24.866 [SPEAKER_02]: going back very sizable. 38:24.906 --> 38:25.967 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I saw Eonson. 38:26.688 --> 38:29.431 [SPEAKER_02]: I think four times this year. 38:29.451 --> 38:34.957 [SPEAKER_02]: It all kind of blends together at this point, but I think it was four times and I was pretty impressed every time. 38:35.057 --> 38:37.540 [SPEAKER_02]: Do I think he's going to be like that frontline ace? 38:37.980 --> 38:39.842 [SPEAKER_02]: No, but I think he could be. 38:40.663 --> 38:55.449 [SPEAKER_02]: kind of close to like a paint and totally level words like an SP, you know, I like totally a little bit more at the same time than the ions and now, but you know, could you be like that SP2 SP3 type, but that good upper half of the rotation starter absolutely. 38:55.469 --> 39:03.732 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's got the, you know, load a bit 90s, you know, he and get the 9697 with the fastball pretty good movement on it, you know, he threw a 39:04.612 --> 39:09.576 [SPEAKER_02]: mid-80s change up in slider, you know curve ball in the upper 70s low 80s at times. 39:09.596 --> 39:13.238 [SPEAKER_02]: He can miss bat with all those bitches pretty solid for me to control as well. 39:13.318 --> 39:21.023 [SPEAKER_02]: So I like him a good bit with her spoon didn't really have the greatest year, he's pitched better of late and so that's really fun stuff. 39:21.083 --> 39:22.985 [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, kind of want to see if Baltimore can 39:23.525 --> 39:31.332 [SPEAKER_02]: you know, make a tweak there with him as I still think the upside with him is just as high as Ion sent even though the results haven't been there. 39:31.812 --> 39:49.207 [SPEAKER_02]: I said there's a really fun arm there with Ion sent and then you mentioned with as a car, you know, with a spoon and as a car where two guys were from like, all right, once Ion sent goes up AAA, maybe I see these guys in AA later this year and into next year, you know, obviously not anymore, though I could still see them, you know, 39:50.508 --> 39:52.989 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, plays in the same league as bosses of late teams. 39:53.029 --> 39:54.949 [SPEAKER_02]: So I'll probably still see them at least at some point. 39:55.029 --> 40:03.691 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, really fun, predictable guy, good power, solid speed, you know, context skills, and maybe need a little bit of refinement as that the swing and miss. 40:03.791 --> 40:11.053 [SPEAKER_02]: But definitely a really fun, you know, up side guys, still only 19 years old, he only turned 20 until spring training next year. 40:11.613 --> 40:14.734 [SPEAKER_02]: I see Ozacard definitely pretty fun prospect. 40:14.794 --> 40:17.174 [SPEAKER_02]: I could really jump up rankings to I definitely agree that he's definitely 40:20.595 --> 40:29.505 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a lot of movie pieces in this trade, you know, but probably the biggest trade of the day, at least on today on Deadline Day on Monday the third. 40:30.257 --> 40:39.981 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, so we've over to some, you know, some still decent size moves that maybe aren't quite as notable with as many talking points, but I'm still plenty of other moves here to talk about. 40:40.402 --> 40:56.029 [SPEAKER_02]: And we'll stick with the hitting side here, Luis, Arias, and Caleb Killian going to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for minor league pitcher Ramon Marquez, so we talked about recently and Marty Gare going back to these episodes, go Giants. 40:56.649 --> 41:02.191 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I know we talked about him recently, but, you know, what do you think about Mark has going to San Francisco? 41:02.211 --> 41:05.611 [SPEAKER_02]: San Francisco then pretty decent work on the pitching side of things here. 41:05.651 --> 41:09.653 [SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, Mark has is a really fun breakout arm. 41:09.793 --> 41:15.554 [SPEAKER_02]: So are you, you know, in the Dice League, is Mark has like a high priority target for you right now? 41:15.574 --> 41:17.455 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'd say big time. 41:17.595 --> 41:20.836 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, what he's done this year has been incredible to see in terms of just a breakout. 41:20.916 --> 41:25.577 [SPEAKER_01]: But I trust that he'll keep that going in San Francisco, you know, I don't know. 41:26.636 --> 41:28.917 [SPEAKER_01]: what more they really need to be done. 41:29.098 --> 41:36.722 [SPEAKER_01]: This year especially development wise, changeups just been so good that you got to think it's just going to maintain itself throughout the rest of the year. 41:37.983 --> 41:39.364 [SPEAKER_01]: Excited to see what he does. 41:39.464 --> 41:54.033 [SPEAKER_01]: And I wasn't really expecting him to be the one that got moved, but the giants needed pitching depth, especially in their farm system, that was something that a lot of people were talking about pre-draft, and then they went out and got Jackson Flora a bunch of other arms and other trading 41:57.129 --> 42:00.726 [SPEAKER_01]: It's got a lot deeper and I love that and I think that he's going to be at the front end of that. 42:01.874 --> 42:03.175 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's definitely a fun system. 42:03.195 --> 42:13.719 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it was more so, you know, I hit her heavy system, at least for the, you know, the intriguing top guys, you know, you got the, you know, her neck and neck is the levels, the boat avid sins, et cetera. 42:14.219 --> 42:20.682 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, so what a fun there on the hitting side, but then we looked at the picture side, you know, adding Jackson Flora, adding remote markers. 42:21.242 --> 42:24.143 [SPEAKER_02]: They have a pretty good system there in San Fran. 42:24.163 --> 42:28.305 [SPEAKER_02]: And that's a pretty big turnaround for where they were a few years ago, where I think they were like one of the worst. 42:29.097 --> 42:30.338 [SPEAKER_02]: systems and all baseball. 42:30.358 --> 42:37.763 [SPEAKER_02]: I remember going through writing up each team's, you know, project rankings and just I remember getting the same friend and being like, yeah, there's like three guys I like. 42:37.863 --> 42:42.006 [SPEAKER_02]: The red sort of kind of, you know, whatever, but that's definitely not the case anymore. 42:42.046 --> 42:50.392 [SPEAKER_02]: This is definitely that system on the rise, you know, looks like they're going to, you know, a bit of a full rebuild here, but they got some good young pieces, obviously price solid rich. 42:51.232 --> 42:54.915 [SPEAKER_02]: So they never could be back in the mix in the next couple of years here, but 42:55.348 --> 42:58.109 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, getting, you know, Ramon Marquez was pretty fun. 42:58.129 --> 43:06.433 [SPEAKER_02]: And then on the other side, I've never seen a team that says, you know, screw defense as much as the Phillies do. 43:06.953 --> 43:08.414 [SPEAKER_02]: They just don't care. 43:08.434 --> 43:12.275 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, with, they're looking for a right fielder or outfielder in general. 43:13.356 --> 43:22.480 [SPEAKER_02]: And they did that by adding a riot because they're putting him at second, moving, breaking soft from second to third, where he's like barely ever played. 43:23.255 --> 43:43.367 [SPEAKER_02]: Alec Bome from third to first where he has played decent bit and then Bryce Harper to the outfield where he hasn't played regularly since 2022 when he was 30 years old, not 34, I'll be, you know, first to say that I'm a little, you know, concerned about Bryce Harper going to the outfield here, but I mean, Luceriah's, you know, he is what he is at this point. 43:43.407 --> 43:48.990 [SPEAKER_02]: If you know what you're getting with the riots, it's a lot of average, maybe 10 steals in a handful, home runs. 43:50.138 --> 43:50.438 [SPEAKER_02]: That's it. 43:50.458 --> 43:52.099 [SPEAKER_02]: You know what you're getting with a riot. 43:52.139 --> 43:55.480 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, people know about a riot is not really much to say about him. 43:55.500 --> 43:56.500 [SPEAKER_02]: You'll get a savant page. 43:56.540 --> 43:59.321 [SPEAKER_02]: He's either 100% tile or a first percent tile and everything. 43:59.361 --> 44:01.401 [SPEAKER_02]: It's not much in the middle of that. 44:01.441 --> 44:06.323 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, anything else you want to add here on this a riot straight, Toby? 44:07.103 --> 44:07.743 [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't think so. 44:07.763 --> 44:17.266 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a great bet for them to have in their order, especially with all of the power that they have knew the top of it, excited to see what he does in Philly, and especially the fact that he'll be back in the NL East, too. 44:19.151 --> 44:21.012 [SPEAKER_02]: All right moving on to another Louise. 44:21.232 --> 44:39.303 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there was basically everybody that was any of note named Louise got moved today outside of I think the only other I look at it the only other fantasy or guy for fantasy that was rostrid and over like 20% of weeks was that didn't move name Louise was Louise Robert which there's a lot of room as a huge I get moved. 44:39.803 --> 44:56.955 [SPEAKER_02]: as well, but ultimately did not, but, you know, we go to another Luis here in Luis Castillo who went on Sunday, you know, from Seattle to the white socks in exchange for strengthening dominas, Nolan Jones and catcher Boston Smith who's having a pretty fun season. 44:57.515 --> 45:01.438 [SPEAKER_02]: But looking at Luis Castillo here, got that was so good for so long. 45:01.458 --> 45:08.143 [SPEAKER_02]: It was one of those guys in Bansie that you can just like take as your SP2 and just kind of plug them in there and not have to worry 45:09.143 --> 45:32.794 [SPEAKER_02]: kind of like Logan Webb you know those those guys are the super safe but you know this year he's has fallen off a cliff I mean the last two years he was around like a three five year array whips under one point two you know still had a decent enough key rate but this year five oh six year array you know with a key rate of 19 and a half percent that's a career worse marked by a pretty good margin whips up the 1.39 45:34.415 --> 45:37.478 [SPEAKER_02]: So we do have any faith in a Castile turnaround. 45:37.498 --> 45:42.302 [SPEAKER_02]: He's still only 33, which is not super old for pitching, but you look under the hood. 45:42.902 --> 45:45.004 [SPEAKER_02]: There's not a lot to like here. 45:45.024 --> 45:48.787 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, he gets a lot of chase and the walk rate still solid, but also to that. 45:49.628 --> 45:50.930 [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't get a lot of ground balls. 45:51.690 --> 45:55.474 [SPEAKER_02]: He's allowing too much hard contact not getting enough whiffs as he like they used to. 45:55.494 --> 45:56.496 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know. 45:56.736 --> 46:07.788 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not writing him off as being a fantasy role of an arm, but I'm not seeing a lot of under the hood metrics that make me want to go out and target Castillo, but what do you thoughts here on him? 46:08.654 --> 46:11.355 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, in terms of fantasy, I don't have to agree with you there. 46:11.375 --> 46:14.597 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there's many redeeming qualities to make him worth going after. 46:14.697 --> 46:37.948 [SPEAKER_01]: But for the white socks here, who are trying to make a push for the postseason and for a division title, I mean, the fact that he does still get a ton of chase and has above average fastball velocity, decent enough control, there is still hope here that he can be effective for them in their rotation, or just in their staff in general, fantasy wise though, I'm just not optimistic. 46:39.198 --> 46:44.781 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it feels like he's going down like the error and know the path works, it's almost I'll do like my rankings. 46:44.821 --> 46:47.762 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll like know the ranked like 98 among pictures. 46:47.782 --> 46:51.504 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like this feels weird, but It's accurate at this point. 46:51.524 --> 46:53.905 [SPEAKER_02]: I think the CEO he's not quite that error. 46:53.925 --> 46:57.347 [SPEAKER_02]: No levels yet, but he's definitely I think going down that path where it's just 46:58.207 --> 47:16.386 [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't have the same, you know, as he as he used to, but, you know, there were some more ramifications from this trade, you know, with the Dominguez going to Seattle, you know, I think opens up more opportunities for Grant Taylor, who was already in that mix as well, but I do think it is Grant Taylor time. 47:16.946 --> 47:17.726 [SPEAKER_02]: in Chicago. 47:18.467 --> 47:19.287 [SPEAKER_02]: We talked about him. 47:19.307 --> 47:21.707 [SPEAKER_02]: I think semi-recently Toby and maybe we didn't. 47:21.727 --> 47:22.508 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we did. 47:22.928 --> 47:28.309 [SPEAKER_02]: But he's already evolving into one of the best young relievers in the game. 47:28.389 --> 47:33.851 [SPEAKER_02]: So I think this is definitely a nice little move for him to get more save opportunities here. 47:34.931 --> 47:35.232 [SPEAKER_02]: What do you 47:37.298 --> 47:47.382 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's great for him at 24 years old he's going to be put in more situations to like you said get more save opportunities or just more high leverage situations where he's going to get better as a result. 47:47.943 --> 47:51.264 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's great for both him and the white socks as a whole long term. 47:52.557 --> 48:19.056 [SPEAKER_02]: a great yeah he's a guy that you could really blossom in the being one of those next elite relievers in the game he's already on that path so bro quick for a move on any intrigue on your end here to be with with Boston Smith and catching prospect in double a 6th round pick last year out of right state which I don't even know where right state is you do a state right state is in you've any idea I'm pretty sure it's in Ohio I could be wrong 48:20.051 --> 48:20.912 [SPEAKER_01]: That's not right. 48:21.512 --> 48:23.053 [SPEAKER_01]: I sounded way too confident saying. 48:24.493 --> 48:25.794 [SPEAKER_01]: But I think it's in Ohio. 48:25.814 --> 48:27.695 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know for sure. 48:28.395 --> 48:29.456 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm Googling it right now. 48:29.476 --> 48:30.416 [SPEAKER_02]: If we can get a answer. 48:30.436 --> 48:31.577 [SPEAKER_02]: I know you're right. 48:31.597 --> 48:32.197 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right. 48:32.237 --> 48:35.759 [SPEAKER_02]: Stay at University Public University in Fairborn, Ohio. 48:35.799 --> 48:36.219 [SPEAKER_02]: There we go. 48:36.259 --> 48:36.459 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 48:36.779 --> 48:37.200 [SPEAKER_02]: There we go. 48:38.100 --> 48:59.537 [SPEAKER_02]: There's some of those colleges you're like, I don't know where this is, it's gonna be in Ohio could be in Nevada for all I freaking know, but yeah, Boston Smith having a pretty solid here pretty pretty really that's actually that's actually not doing it just as really good here that between high A and W A and a few games in low A as well, but 22 bombs, 10 steals, 49:03.760 --> 49:06.141 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, walk rate is 21% right now. 49:06.201 --> 49:12.085 [SPEAKER_02]: Carey is a little high, but I think more so due to this him being super passive and getting into some deeper accounts. 49:12.165 --> 49:15.727 [SPEAKER_02]: But this is a pretty fun little catching prospect here Toby. 49:15.767 --> 49:18.008 [SPEAKER_02]: So any intrigue and Boston Smith. 49:18.866 --> 49:39.200 [SPEAKER_01]: yeah for sure when i saw the return i was like that's a that's an interesting prospect for sure uh... the white sucks is such a good job of their last draft class just getting a bunch of mid-major guys that have ended up turning out to be really solid prospects in their first year uh... not only boss and smith but guys like anthony depino i'm not positive if you got moved i don't think you got moved but um... 49:39.957 --> 49:40.918 [SPEAKER_01]: I hope I'm not wrong about that. 49:41.478 --> 49:42.159 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think so. 49:42.539 --> 49:43.360 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so. 49:44.541 --> 49:55.410 [SPEAKER_01]: I saw something about to be, you know, like maybe he has one of the more underrated prospects in the sport, and I'm kind of just mixing up names, but going back to Boston Smith, I mean, this is a guy who's shown a lot of promise early on. 49:55.430 --> 50:02.536 [SPEAKER_01]: He's a bit older, but, you know, we've seen late blooming prospects get ranked pretty high, guys like Owen Ares on the Cubs system. 50:03.618 --> 50:07.619 [SPEAKER_01]: Boston Smith, he walks a lot, doesn't chase a lot out of the zone. 50:07.639 --> 50:14.102 [SPEAKER_01]: You already mentioned he's passive in that kind of gets him into some more strikeout trouble, but that's something that can be improved on over time. 50:14.602 --> 50:18.003 [SPEAKER_01]: I think in the Mariners system, he's going to be in a good spot here. 50:18.083 --> 50:23.705 [SPEAKER_01]: And intrigued to see where he's at defensively long term, because the bat certainly will play. 50:23.725 --> 50:26.626 [SPEAKER_01]: I will just see how everything else kind of unfolds. 50:28.589 --> 50:49.192 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, next deal here, foster Griffin, another kind of breakout picture this year, going from the nationals to the Cleveland Guardians and exchange for pictures, willedion, Josh Hardell, Elfiero Nick Mitchell, and then picture, I'm going to complete butcher this first name, Candigliss. 50:51.501 --> 51:00.639 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going with K-E-N-D-E-G-L-Y-S. Or can the Glee's, maybe, last name, Vriguez. 51:01.723 --> 51:18.515 [SPEAKER_02]: Again, I'm not sure I'm saying that right hopefully I am, but you're not not no like super, you know, notable, you know, players going back here, but foster Griffin has a 306 ERA this year, one zero seven whip in 22 starts, 116 K's in 129 and a third innings, really. 51:22.198 --> 51:23.338 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, honestly, came out of nowhere. 51:23.458 --> 51:28.060 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this guy that had very little, major league experience coming in this year. 51:28.080 --> 51:33.021 [SPEAKER_02]: He had seven appearances, one in 2020 for ending in two thirds. 51:33.441 --> 51:39.903 [SPEAKER_02]: Then another six and a third in 2022, then was out of the majors for four years and then boom all of a sudden. 51:39.923 --> 51:43.224 [SPEAKER_02]: He's been a low three ERA guy this year. 51:43.304 --> 51:45.825 [SPEAKER_02]: So, what do you thought's here on Foster Griffith? 51:45.845 --> 51:46.845 [SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy that I'm not, 51:47.957 --> 52:12.118 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the metrics are okay, it's, you know, some good some bad here kind of mixed back under the hood, but I don't know, I'm is not super intrigued by, you know, foster grip and the velocities not great, he's at least low 90s, not a lot of, you know, big with right offerings, so I'm not really sure I'm buying into kind of what we've seen from foster grip in this year, but I don't know, maybe maybe you think differently, what do you thoughts here on him? 52:13.283 --> 52:16.784 [SPEAKER_01]: When you look at like the underlying metrics, I also would agree with you. 52:16.884 --> 52:24.487 [SPEAKER_01]: But the fact now that he's in Cleveland and he's in a rotation that has already solid left handers in Parker, Messick, Joey Kentio. 52:24.507 --> 52:27.748 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think he can keep doing what he's doing. 52:27.768 --> 52:30.869 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to be as heavily relied upon as he was with Washington. 52:31.490 --> 52:33.810 [SPEAKER_01]: I think Cleveland's going to do a solid job with him as well. 52:34.491 --> 52:37.612 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it was a great trade, especially because they didn't dish out a ton of 52:38.477 --> 52:45.799 [SPEAKER_01]: I guess really high caliber prospects do like Nick Mitchell a lot, but that's just kind of like a more I guess me thing. 52:45.819 --> 52:48.000 [SPEAKER_01]: I've been following him for like a year or so. 52:48.080 --> 52:54.902 [SPEAKER_01]: So I kind of a little higher on what he was able to be in the Cleveland system, but I think Griffin's going to do great with Cleveland. 52:55.980 --> 52:57.482 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's a good point. 52:57.522 --> 53:15.980 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a good landing spot and I think he can be serviceable among saying he's a completely fall for cliff or anything of that, but yeah, I don't think he's going to be like a high impact armor or maintain a low three year array, but if he can be around like a three five, the three seven year array, that's giving back about half a run. 53:16.621 --> 53:22.105 [SPEAKER_02]: and then keep the K-Ray in the vicinity of Lee Gabbridge where he kind of is right now, you know, walk rates pretty solid. 53:22.745 --> 53:29.009 [SPEAKER_02]: It could be a decent enough arm for fantasy, so we'll see what he can do with Cleveland at this point. 53:29.790 --> 53:34.453 [SPEAKER_02]: Next up here, a smaller trade, but involving a former elite prospect, 53:35.193 --> 53:47.898 [SPEAKER_02]: Eric Miller left you a lever having a pretty good season going from San Fran to my Boston Red Sox, you know, he's not going to have any real fantasy value there outside of maybe saves weeks at, you know, value holds as well. 53:47.938 --> 53:59.303 [SPEAKER_02]: He'll be probably in a setup or middle relief role in front of, you know, Chapman and Garrett Whitlock, but the player going back to the giants here is Marcelo Meyer. 54:00.283 --> 54:09.446 [SPEAKER_02]: who, again, was a number four overall pick, you know, former top prospect, thinking up to like top five levels on certain, you know, publications. 54:10.066 --> 54:18.889 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, he was a guy though that I was never quite as high on, uh, as, you know, most were and, you know, he's got that they never really gave a chance to hit lefties. 54:18.989 --> 54:23.231 [SPEAKER_02]: So it may be San Fran will, but I don't know. 54:23.251 --> 54:26.071 [SPEAKER_02]: There's still some decent kind of tools 54:27.732 --> 54:35.955 [SPEAKER_02]: but there's the red flags outweigh the green flags, at least for me when it comes to Meyer, but he's still only 23 years old. 54:36.335 --> 54:38.736 [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe a fresh start will do him well. 54:39.376 --> 54:41.957 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you still have any faith here in Marcelo Meyer, Kobe? 54:42.897 --> 54:51.319 [SPEAKER_01]: A little bit, just because I'll always, I guess, just give hope to a change of scenery, doing some good for him. 54:52.180 --> 54:52.560 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. 54:53.565 --> 54:54.947 [SPEAKER_01]: Like he kind of said, the red flags are there. 54:55.427 --> 55:00.153 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not as bought in, but again, I also don't like just rooting against these guys. 55:00.193 --> 55:01.355 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's 23 years old. 55:01.775 --> 55:06.201 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say that a guy in my age is a totally done in the big leagues yet. 55:06.221 --> 55:12.028 [SPEAKER_01]: I think if anything, he can find something in San Francisco and maybe succeed in the market that isn't as harsh on him. 55:13.244 --> 55:20.068 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, and that speaks volumes to like the the market in Boston is always super tough, right? 55:20.088 --> 55:22.729 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's one of the toughest places to play. 55:22.749 --> 55:32.114 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think I put that the three big I mean obviously L.A. Chicago or tough, too, but I always can go to like Boston, New York, and even like Philly. 55:32.234 --> 55:35.276 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe Philly isn't that same range as like Chicago and L.A. 55:35.316 --> 55:41.480 [SPEAKER_02]: But when you're on one of these, you know, big markets playing for, you know, a storied franchise like the Red Sox, 55:42.418 --> 55:43.878 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, this meeting market's tough. 55:44.658 --> 55:45.239 [SPEAKER_02]: It just is. 55:45.339 --> 55:49.239 [SPEAKER_02]: And if you don't produce, they kind of can turn on your quick. 55:49.840 --> 55:55.661 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's, you know, in this, you know, day and age of what if you don't for me lately, Meyer hasn't, hasn't not not a lot lately. 55:55.761 --> 56:05.083 [SPEAKER_02]: So his value, as you can see, being traded for, you know, a decent reliever, but still like if you ask me two years ago, oh, yeah, they're going to trade Meyer for Eric Miller. 56:05.383 --> 56:06.843 [SPEAKER_02]: I'd have that same reaction like what what 56:09.924 --> 56:12.486 [SPEAKER_02]: But that's, you know, that's where the value has gone the last two years. 56:12.526 --> 56:20.133 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, 223, 278, 346 career line, only in 364 plate appearances, still a small sample size. 56:20.173 --> 56:25.397 [SPEAKER_02]: So I think there's a chance he can be somewhat fancy valuable. 56:26.318 --> 56:31.963 [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't see like that impact player, I just don't, but, you know, we'll see. 56:32.223 --> 56:34.025 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Cheney and I will do him some well. 56:34.725 --> 56:36.787 [SPEAKER_02]: Another trade involving San Fran. 56:37.848 --> 56:39.609 [SPEAKER_02]: The San Fran make the most trades. 56:40.673 --> 56:41.794 [SPEAKER_02]: today. 56:41.834 --> 56:42.134 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 56:42.294 --> 56:43.335 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 56:43.896 --> 56:44.256 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 56:44.336 --> 56:47.118 [SPEAKER_02]: So I think they made several five or six trades. 56:47.919 --> 56:48.800 [SPEAKER_02]: This was pretty fun. 56:49.280 --> 56:57.607 [SPEAKER_02]: He'll get Ramos outfield or going to the New York Yankees in exchange for a Henry LaLon at my early, you know, big lefty. 56:57.987 --> 57:03.209 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, pitching prospect and caving Kent who is the son of Hall of Amherd Jeff Kent. 57:03.269 --> 57:06.190 [SPEAKER_02]: So some nice little second generation bloodlines there. 57:06.210 --> 57:09.011 [SPEAKER_02]: Now we'll start with, you know, Ramos here. 57:09.031 --> 57:14.374 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, we said kind of up and down career, you know, throughout his time with San Fran. 57:14.394 --> 57:18.175 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a couple of 20 homer seasons in 2024 and 2025, you know, this year, you know, 57:25.738 --> 57:50.105 [SPEAKER_02]: nine bombs in 30 to me three hundred and six plate appearance does a lot of power here mean you see you know forty percent heart hit rate nearly a fourteen percent barrel rate ninety two mile an hour average EV you know but some sorry MS issues here total be some chase issues that's what you thought's here on rainbows with the yanks the packages that they gave up really 57:50.857 --> 57:51.719 [SPEAKER_01]: kind of upset me. 57:52.099 --> 57:52.881 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to lie. 57:53.001 --> 57:55.245 [SPEAKER_01]: I was as a big prospect, hugger in a Yankee fan. 57:55.285 --> 57:57.209 [SPEAKER_01]: It's just any prospect they're going to give up. 57:57.509 --> 57:59.273 [SPEAKER_01]: Mainly is not going to make me very happy, but. 57:59.719 --> 58:05.624 [SPEAKER_01]: I really do like Elio Ramos, he's on my fantasy team, so I'm a big fan of his and what he's able to do. 58:05.944 --> 58:10.188 [SPEAKER_01]: Fun guy to watch, just day in and day out, like you already mentioned, hits the ball hard and fails it up a lot. 58:10.228 --> 58:12.389 [SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully it translates to Yankee Stadium. 58:12.409 --> 58:14.151 [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of control with this guy as well. 58:14.191 --> 58:15.892 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think it was a solid move. 58:15.912 --> 58:17.193 [SPEAKER_01]: They needed a right-handed bat. 58:17.934 --> 58:20.376 [SPEAKER_01]: What a preferred they made it for someone who plays in the infield. 58:20.856 --> 58:26.941 [SPEAKER_01]: We don't really need another outfielder, so it'll be intriguing to see what happens once guys start to return from the I.L. 58:30.069 --> 58:34.185 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I kind of like in the middle with this move I would say. 58:35.589 --> 58:44.271 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of intrigued to see where he fits in because they've been giving some run to Spencer Jones, you know, to Jason Dominguez. 58:44.291 --> 58:49.492 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, those guys have been starting regularly for the last, you know, a couple weeks down in Grishman Center. 58:49.552 --> 58:54.553 [SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, when you get Aaron Judge back, you know, what does that look like? 58:54.573 --> 58:57.094 [SPEAKER_02]: When you get Cody Bellinger back, what does that look like? 58:57.234 --> 59:03.275 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it was, yeah, it was kind of interesting because you're rocking with like Ryan McMahon and, and how does it have a arrow on the 59:05.607 --> 59:16.130 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's spot where they could use an upgrade or even a catcher, yeah, so that's I think that's why they're in on Adley because, you know, Austin Wells hasn't done much of anything this year and, you know, the bullpiece aren't really the answer at short anymore. 59:16.190 --> 59:22.692 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, kind of an interesting position for them to go in a choir, but I do like Raymo's a little bit here. 59:22.712 --> 59:24.433 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the power is pretty solid. 59:24.913 --> 59:34.556 [SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy that could be, you know, could outfield four outfield five, you know, four of your fantasy team and yeah, I'm definitely intrigued to see what that power can look like in a much better 59:35.356 --> 59:37.498 [SPEAKER_02]: hitting environment with the ink. 59:37.558 --> 59:39.219 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, obviously, we always look at the left field. 59:39.239 --> 59:47.945 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the shooting the right field, short porch, you know, for lefties, but just in general, going the ink is stadium from, uh, is it still oracle out there? 59:47.965 --> 59:48.865 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's still oracle. 59:48.985 --> 59:49.586 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it is. 59:50.086 --> 59:54.129 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but from San Fran to the Bronx, the definitely initial upgrade in terms of park. 59:54.369 --> 59:57.331 [SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, potentially line up when everyone's healthy as well. 59:57.371 --> 59:59.893 [SPEAKER_01]: San Fran wasn't the greatest offense this year. 59:59.913 --> 01:00:03.696 [SPEAKER_02]: So I think it's a nice little uptick in value here for Ramos, but again, 01:00:04.816 --> 01:00:09.077 [SPEAKER_02]: giving up a guy like Lawn, and Caden canals, having a pretty solid year as well. 01:00:09.557 --> 01:00:14.318 [SPEAKER_02]: And then we talked about Lawn recently, and I'm still not sure if I'm saying that right, no one's correct to me yet. 01:00:14.378 --> 01:00:17.779 [SPEAKER_02]: So have you figured out how to say his last name? 01:00:17.799 --> 01:00:23.400 [SPEAKER_01]: It'll be, I think it's Lawny, but I also am not 100% sure. 01:00:23.780 --> 01:00:30.622 [SPEAKER_01]: The only other people that I've been on podcasts with the Yankees Farm guys that have brought him up, I'm almost positive say Lawny. 01:00:32.267 --> 01:00:34.388 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, all right, I'll roll with a lawn knife. 01:00:34.448 --> 01:00:49.476 [SPEAKER_02]: If it if you guys hit differently every time I talk about him So I probably need to like actually like go find some some video where they say his name to see what like what the broadcasters are saying, but regardless He's a really fun lefty kind of bouncing back and we talk about him. 01:00:49.496 --> 01:00:57.700 [SPEAKER_02]: I think a few weeks ago, but you know that was Another good get for the safe Cisco organization, so I kind of similar question with him 01:00:58.220 --> 01:01:08.648 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, as, you know, with a couple of the other projects we just talked about, is he a guy that you would consider to be like a priority, dynasty target right now, just given the upside and how he's bouncing back this year. 01:01:09.889 --> 01:01:16.334 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how it honestly, I honestly would lean towards that for sure, 22 years old, six foot seven, 211 to 11 pounds. 01:01:16.374 --> 01:01:18.276 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's done it all on the mound. 01:01:18.436 --> 01:01:23.140 [SPEAKER_01]: The stuff's good as well, plus fastball, plus change up if you can get in my wood. 01:01:24.288 --> 01:01:25.609 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's easily fun arm. 01:01:25.669 --> 01:01:35.615 [SPEAKER_02]: He can spin it to says, it's really just putting it all together for him and kind of getting getting the momentum back after missing so much time over the last few years as we mentioned a few weeks ago. 01:01:35.655 --> 01:01:40.658 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, really, really fun arm here going to see in Fran next move here. 01:01:41.578 --> 01:01:55.564 [SPEAKER_02]: the angels sent Ryan Zefferjan to the Cubs in exchange for Mojus by the stereos, which that part really kind of surprised me that the Cubs gave up by a stereos in this deal. 01:01:55.584 --> 01:02:08.949 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he wasn't the greatest this year, 231 303 385 slash line, but you know, really packs a punch at the play, you know, heart hit rate was 47 percent, barrel rate 9 percent average, V 90 miles an hour and a pretty solid 01:02:11.930 --> 01:02:18.054 [SPEAKER_02]: So I guess a were you surprised to see by a stereos get moved and you know, you still need 22 years old. 01:02:18.074 --> 01:02:23.798 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you think you can become a pretty solid impact bat for for the angels here moving forward? 01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:29.441 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, I don't want to root against a guy, but we keep going back to the angels here. 01:02:29.482 --> 01:02:34.805 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not quite sure how they're going to forward his development entirely, but. 01:02:36.260 --> 01:02:43.065 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, there is a little bit of big league experience here with biced arrows and he's coming over from, again, a big market in Chicago. 01:02:43.125 --> 01:02:45.947 [SPEAKER_01]: I think that he could do well here. 01:02:45.987 --> 01:02:47.288 [SPEAKER_01]: I know it's still Los Angeles. 01:02:47.308 --> 01:02:48.129 [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see. 01:02:48.149 --> 01:02:53.693 [SPEAKER_01]: I will surprise to see him getting flip for a reliever though that that was definitely surprising for me. 01:02:54.863 --> 01:03:05.147 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, another one where you saw that, you know, Zebra John was traded, then, you know, 15, whatever minutes later, they go, you know, bias arrows is the return piece here. 01:03:05.187 --> 01:03:08.728 [SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I still think he's a be a solid bat. 01:03:09.248 --> 01:03:19.492 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think you got to hit like, you know, 260 with 20 bombs, because the type of guy maybe is not a starting caliber, fantasy bat, or a forecatcher, but who knows if they even want him a catcher? 01:03:19.532 --> 01:03:21.213 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's a guy that might be at the age. 01:03:21.873 --> 01:03:38.843 [SPEAKER_02]: long-term and I think I want to see if they want to use them behind the plate, but I think the bad is still pretty solid here, but yet it's another angel here They made a lot of moves today and the next one and they traded the way Joe Adele to the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for minor league catcher Jacob Kozarts 01:03:39.703 --> 01:03:43.985 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Joe Adele, he's a pretty polarizing bat Toby. 01:03:44.025 --> 01:03:55.069 [SPEAKER_02]: I think, you know, some people really love Joe Adele, others are kind of, you know, not as into the profile, I used to be a big Joe dog guy and he got me kind of buying back in a little bit last year. 01:03:55.617 --> 01:04:17.426 [SPEAKER_02]: know, with how the contact rates are going up and he's had that big power year, but this year took a step back in the power department, you know, still making some strides with contact and strikeouts actually, but you know, really that step back in power, which is where he got a lot of his value, kind of killed not killed, but really depleted a lot of the value that he gained last year. 01:04:17.546 --> 01:04:20.147 [SPEAKER_02]: So where are you at with Joe Adele these days? 01:04:20.167 --> 01:04:21.548 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, pretty polarizing. 01:04:22.028 --> 01:04:23.949 [SPEAKER_02]: Still 27 years old, you know, a lot of good 01:04:24.969 --> 01:04:25.870 [SPEAKER_02]: Where are you at with this guy? 01:04:27.151 --> 01:04:28.151 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really know. 01:04:28.191 --> 01:04:29.392 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, I'm kind of in the middle here. 01:04:31.033 --> 01:04:32.675 [SPEAKER_01]: Slashline doesn't look great. 01:04:32.695 --> 01:04:33.695 [SPEAKER_01]: He's had his moments. 01:04:34.076 --> 01:04:40.140 [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, I think that's kind of what the Guardians are banking on him to be as a guy that provides something in a big moment. 01:04:40.180 --> 01:04:47.726 [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of like, um, I don't want to compare him to Jecansy Noelle, but like a guy who can hit a bomb in a big moment and, you know, maybe make a play in the field. 01:04:47.746 --> 01:04:50.868 [SPEAKER_01]: We saw him rob a few homers in a single game earlier this year. 01:04:50.908 --> 01:04:52.389 [SPEAKER_01]: I think the Guardians are kind of hoping that 01:04:53.178 --> 01:04:59.604 [SPEAKER_01]: They get this kind of player you can bring a bit of a flashingness and a bit of power because they just kind of lack that overall. 01:05:00.865 --> 01:05:01.766 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they absolutely do. 01:05:01.806 --> 01:05:05.190 [SPEAKER_02]: I think, was it means our leads a team of like 12 on runs or something like that? 01:05:05.790 --> 01:05:06.671 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's not good. 01:05:07.211 --> 01:05:15.980 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Joe Ram obviously has missed some time this year and he hasn't had the his usual Joe Ram year for all TV leading the, you know, this team by probably 10 or 12 at this point, but 01:05:16.556 --> 01:05:21.121 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they needed the power bat and I guess they got it in some degree, but I don't know. 01:05:21.201 --> 01:05:34.456 [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't go after the Joe Adel type of profile in general too often, just because there's such a, I feel like a thin margin for error with these guys, it can go when it goes bad, it can go bad, pretty big, pretty quickly. 01:05:35.116 --> 01:05:36.958 [SPEAKER_02]: As we've seen with Adel multiple times, 01:05:37.619 --> 01:05:42.362 [SPEAKER_02]: throughout his career, but if still as he's, you know, he's strong, he's quick, you know, he can jump really high. 01:05:42.542 --> 01:05:46.785 [SPEAKER_02]: He's, you know, you mentioned those two, you know, homenrobs earlier in the year. 01:05:46.845 --> 01:05:52.168 [SPEAKER_02]: So he still can be fun at times, but just not a guy that I want to go after in fantasy. 01:05:52.708 --> 01:06:07.616 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, a couple more trades and programs are our last little quick hitters and show clay homes and Tyrone Taylor uh, traded from the Met to the Cubs in exchange for Jefferson, Rojas, another name that I was surprised, you know, that they gave up. 01:06:07.636 --> 01:06:09.597 [SPEAKER_02]: They should give up a few names here. 01:06:09.657 --> 01:06:16.921 [SPEAKER_02]: One more I'll mention here in a little bit, but they give up a few kind of surprising names that did not think they would move at this deadline. 01:06:16.941 --> 01:06:18.662 [SPEAKER_02]: But Rojas was definitely one of them. 01:06:19.122 --> 01:06:38.700 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, homes and tailor, I mean, if you want to go into them, we can Toby, but I think Rojas is the really intriguing player in this trade where he had some height building up a few years ago, then 2024 kind of loss of that height, but last year was solid in low A and then got the 01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:46.164 [SPEAKER_02]: double A and really struggled, which put a damper on his line last year as well, it's kind of the last, you know, year and a half entering this year. 01:06:46.184 --> 01:06:58.010 [SPEAKER_02]: He really had lost a lot of the hype he had gained when he was in the in the, you know, rookie ball, but this year full on bounce back performance from Rojas in 91 double A games 27339 461 slash line 15 bombs 19 double 17 steals 9% 01:07:08.615 --> 01:07:11.578 [SPEAKER_02]: I get that's jump pretty much into the top 100 universally. 01:07:11.638 --> 01:07:18.005 [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like at this point, so what do you thoughts long-term and what the outlook looks like for a Jefferson Rojas Toby? 01:07:18.845 --> 01:07:23.450 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited to see what he can tap into in terms of his ceiling with the metsees. 01:07:23.931 --> 01:07:29.176 [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of shown a pretty well-rounded profile this year as far as his play at Double A's gone. 01:07:29.747 --> 01:07:35.229 [SPEAKER_01]: He has been a lot more aggressive at the play, and I think that's helped in translate some more game power. 01:07:35.789 --> 01:07:48.273 [SPEAKER_01]: He said, I believe it's a new career high, 15 homers this year, also 17 stolen bases, kept the K rate below 17%, contact rate still pretty good, and the swing and miss has been a little bit elevated, but it's not agreed just whatsoever. 01:07:49.053 --> 01:07:52.654 [SPEAKER_01]: This is a guy that I just at 21 years old, I got a lot of faith in now. 01:07:53.054 --> 01:07:56.175 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad that the cubs chose to move him, because it just felt like, 01:07:56.815 --> 01:07:59.600 [SPEAKER_01]: even when he was going to be ready he'd be rolled blocked by somebody. 01:08:00.201 --> 01:08:02.224 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm excited to see what he's able to do. 01:08:02.765 --> 01:08:08.855 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he's any less blocked in the Met system but you know, you don't really pick where you get traded. 01:08:08.955 --> 01:08:11.259 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm excited to see what he does with them. 01:08:12.630 --> 01:08:24.814 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, he's the guy that doesn't really have any one loud stand out tool, but there's just a lot of things well, or it's more so like, you know, the some of the parts type of profile. 01:08:24.934 --> 01:08:27.075 [SPEAKER_02]: He's just pretty good across the board. 01:08:27.095 --> 01:08:28.655 [SPEAKER_02]: He has above average contact. 01:08:28.675 --> 01:08:35.858 [SPEAKER_02]: He's the K rate, and check this and solid power here, you know, guy that could probably be like a 15 steel guy or something like that. 01:08:35.878 --> 01:08:36.858 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe even 20 steels. 01:08:37.358 --> 01:08:41.420 [SPEAKER_02]: So I got that could push 2020 with with a solid average and decent enough, 01:08:42.500 --> 01:08:57.063 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't think he's ever going to be, you know, a stud fantasy guy or even like a high impact where, you know, you're looking at like a top 100 fantasy player or anything that, but I think there's definitely a solid player to be had here and you know, that's still pretty young 21 years old. 01:08:57.083 --> 01:09:01.744 [SPEAKER_02]: He'll be, you know, he's actually 21 until early part of next season and late April. 01:09:01.784 --> 01:09:06.564 [SPEAKER_02]: So I still, you know, fairly young for the levels he's been at and definitely a pretty solid 01:09:10.046 --> 01:09:16.938 [SPEAKER_02]: and if he's the next source of the future for the meds, you know, they were there was talks of them moving lendor that didn't happen, but maybe they do it. 01:09:17.503 --> 01:09:18.303 [SPEAKER_02]: in the off season. 01:09:18.424 --> 01:09:20.225 [SPEAKER_02]: We'll see if anyone wants to take on the contract. 01:09:20.345 --> 01:09:25.027 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, Rojas, definitely a fun name going to the Metz in the steal. 01:09:25.888 --> 01:09:31.651 [SPEAKER_02]: Metz, I mean, another deal here trading away Luke Weaver to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Stamie Sephora. 01:09:31.671 --> 01:09:44.358 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we just talked about him recently, so we don't we don't only go into him, but he's been absolutely going bonkers over the last and month or two, but with Luke Weaver, you know, going to go into Pittsburgh now, a team that's looking to contend. 01:09:44.858 --> 01:09:53.451 [SPEAKER_02]: this year surprisingly, but that's where we're at, you know, they've been kind of trying to find that stability in the back end of their bullpen. 01:09:53.491 --> 01:09:59.960 [SPEAKER_02]: So I think this is a guy in Luke Weaver who's, you know, got a pretty good season going right now, he's up to ERA. 01:10:00.721 --> 01:10:10.824 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, more than a caper ending kind of getting into that ninth inning saves mix where it's been like a little bit of Gregory Soto You know me some Montgomery here there. 01:10:10.844 --> 01:10:24.128 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, they also got Camilo D'Oval from the Yankees and Kirby Yates, you know from the angels and I always best of his name I'll let you say it Toby the one they got from Miami 01:10:25.263 --> 01:10:43.970 [SPEAKER_02]: lake back up back up because I always I always want to like say it a different way than that so it's Pittsburgh really beefed up their bullpen getting four guys you know today though I honestly missed the the HDR didn't even see that but I'm being totally honest with you 01:10:44.470 --> 01:10:49.092 [SPEAKER_02]: But, um, I just realized that when looking at the raw streets or spade out, oh, look, look, Kirby, it's on that team. 01:10:49.652 --> 01:10:55.954 [SPEAKER_02]: Not that he's great anyway, but the weaver out of all the names he got today, weaver, you know, the best guy having the best season. 01:10:56.415 --> 01:11:00.016 [SPEAKER_02]: You think he factors into that saves mix with Soto and Montgomery for the rest of the year? 01:11:01.817 --> 01:11:03.777 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah, obviously, I really do. 01:11:03.877 --> 01:11:04.077 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:11:05.278 --> 01:11:07.239 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's just sub to ERA. 01:11:07.259 --> 01:11:13.801 [SPEAKER_02]: He's been Luke Weaver, you know, for the most part has been a pretty good arm for the entire team is career, and I think they kind of moved him around. 01:11:14.242 --> 01:11:41.337 [SPEAKER_02]: in various roles and previous teams he was on, but this year kind of one of the better kind of seventh, eighth inning guys in the entire game of baseball, so maybe got that could get some saves mixed here, I mean, so it was been a fine, my camera has been good, but kind of inconsistent, so there's not like one guy that's really locked on that role, so maybe we were being the best blend of upside and kind of stability out of all those names, 01:11:41.717 --> 01:11:45.499 [SPEAKER_02]: maybe he gets into the mix there and leads the way for the Smithsburg team down the stretch. 01:11:45.539 --> 01:11:55.606 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, if you look in the grab a spec saved target here for your defense team, I think Lou Weber's a pretty good guy to go after. 01:11:56.266 --> 01:12:06.373 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, the last just several more trades here, we'll just all just say them and if you know, I don't want to just want to talk a real quick about any of these guys or any of these trades, we can do so. 01:12:06.993 --> 01:12:18.037 [SPEAKER_02]: Kevin Gosman went from the cubs, I went to the cubs, excuse me, from Toronto, in exchange for minor league outfielder, Brett Bateman, and minor league shortstop tie, south of scene. 01:12:18.657 --> 01:12:28.221 [SPEAKER_02]: Lars Newbar went to the Diamondbacks, in exchange for Daniel Egan, and Sandra O Santana, couple of minor league pitchers going back to St. Louis there. 01:12:29.041 --> 01:12:55.745 [SPEAKER_02]: The Toronto Blue Jays sent Dalton Varsho to the Houston Astros in the exchange for Spencer Eric Getty, Braxton Garrett, was traded from the Marlins to the Cubs for Jonathan Long, minor league first baseman, and minor league pitcher, Jason Beck, Robbie Ray, went from the giants to the pod rays in exchange for, you know, shortstop prospect, Joniel Hernandez, and pitching prospect Miguel Mendez, I really had hit on. 01:12:56.345 --> 01:12:58.206 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, hang that one we could talk about here real quick. 01:12:58.746 --> 01:13:14.273 [SPEAKER_02]: Liam Hicks, two more Liam Hicks went from Miami to Tampa for Braden Taylor, Adrian Santana, and Jacob Kisting, and Taylor Ward went from Baltimore to Seattle for a pitcher's Alex Hop, Brockmore, and Harrison Creeling. 01:13:14.753 --> 01:13:30.147 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I think there's kind of two that I want to talk about here, but we'll go to that Robby Ray trade first because I think joining on Hernandez, I'm assuming this guy that you kind of want to talk about here, he's a pretty pretty fun prospect, I mean pretty pretty big power speed. 01:13:30.167 --> 01:13:33.069 [SPEAKER_02]: There's a question about the hit tool, but what do you think what do you think on him? 01:13:34.034 --> 01:13:39.059 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like you said, questions with the hit tool, but other than that, this is a pretty toolsie 17 year old almost like 18. 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.001 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not even 18 yet won't be 18 until next March. 01:13:42.922 --> 01:13:46.105 [SPEAKER_01]: The biggest thing for me is that they've just done so well. 01:13:46.125 --> 01:13:51.630 [SPEAKER_01]: The giants internationally, as of late, that you bring this guy in for a couple months of Robbie Ray. 01:13:52.291 --> 01:13:55.954 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm really bought into what this team could look like in the long term. 01:13:55.994 --> 01:13:57.556 [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, it's a long ways away, but 01:13:58.088 --> 01:14:03.453 [SPEAKER_01]: You think about guys like the Wieser Nandez, Housework and Zalaz that just got to San Jose and our plan in single A. 01:14:04.254 --> 01:14:09.580 [SPEAKER_01]: This could be a really fun, sneaky, young international core that they have kind of brewing there in the farm system. 01:14:10.740 --> 01:14:11.361 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, absolutely. 01:14:11.541 --> 01:14:21.211 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's a guy that was, he was a sign out of Cuba last year's in the International signing period, a really fun power speed blend, pretty predictable frame as well. 01:14:21.291 --> 01:14:30.221 [SPEAKER_02]: And even though he had some hit tool concerns, I mean, hit 303 in the DSL this year and 41 games, and more walks than case, too. 01:14:30.261 --> 01:14:32.103 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, small sample size and 01:14:32.583 --> 01:14:47.076 [SPEAKER_02]: If DSLs, you take numbers with a grain of salt, but I was at least a little bit encouraged to see him come out and walk more than he struck out, given some of the questions in his profile that some evaluators had when he signed with the pod raise. 01:14:47.116 --> 01:14:51.160 [SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I'm definitely intrigued by him going to see in Fran here. 01:14:51.200 --> 01:14:57.485 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they definitely, they got a lot of, I gotta look to see what their new like top 10 looks like. 01:14:57.525 --> 01:14:58.927 [SPEAKER_02]: It's probably pretty darn good. 01:14:59.287 --> 01:15:04.272 [SPEAKER_02]: with all the guys that they brought in, and also adding Jackson Flora in the draft. 01:15:04.292 --> 01:15:08.856 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, Sanford, I'm definitely building a pretty good farm system here and no doubt about that. 01:15:09.577 --> 01:15:17.725 [SPEAKER_02]: The other name I wanted to mention, real quick, and then we'll see if you did you want to talk about any other guys here, Toby, any of these trades that stand out here? 01:15:20.068 --> 01:15:21.209 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm good, honestly. 01:15:22.307 --> 01:15:40.121 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, so I'll just go with my last guy here got that, you know, people that follow me know that I've been pretty high in this guy for a bit, you know, so I have him live out in the AFL back in 2024, I think it was 2024, I can't remember at this point, but 01:15:41.042 --> 01:15:43.123 [SPEAKER_02]: Jonathan Long is the guy I talked about here. 01:15:43.263 --> 01:15:45.764 [SPEAKER_02]: Finally, freed, you know, from the Cubs. 01:15:45.784 --> 01:15:58.168 [SPEAKER_02]: It was kind of funny that we talked about Michael Bush being blocked for so long with the Dodgers, and he was freed, then him being with the Cubs, kind of created a very similar situation with Jonathan Long, you know, raking in AAA and being blocked. 01:15:58.808 --> 01:16:09.452 [SPEAKER_02]: This year, not quite as stellar as last year, but still pretty solid 233, 364, 455 slash line, 12 bombs, and 30 doubles, a lot of doubles this year for him. 01:16:10.112 --> 01:16:18.294 [SPEAKER_02]: So some more so gap shots and over to fence shots, but 30 doubles, 12 bombs, 10 and a half percent walk rate, 21 percent K rate. 01:16:18.814 --> 01:16:20.395 [SPEAKER_02]: This is a really solid bad. 01:16:20.415 --> 01:16:32.578 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't think it's going to be a masherman or the other, you know, stuttering anything that, but God, that's always walking a good clip, kept the K rate and check, you know, above average contact, you know, around average or tick above average power. 01:16:32.598 --> 01:16:34.138 [SPEAKER_02]: This is a really solid hitter. 01:16:34.158 --> 01:16:35.218 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's a little bit older now. 01:16:35.238 --> 01:16:36.459 [SPEAKER_02]: He's 20 to 24, yeah, 24. 01:16:38.039 --> 01:16:47.666 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, years old, it'll be 25 in January, so a little bit on the older side, but has a clear path to playing time with the marlins here, moving forward than he did with the cubs. 01:16:48.446 --> 01:16:51.969 [SPEAKER_02]: So any thoughts here on Jonathan Long before we get out of here, Toby? 01:16:52.909 --> 01:16:58.493 [SPEAKER_01]: It kind of the same thing with Jefferson Rojas, although I feel way more comfortable about him just being freed up to actually play. 01:17:00.315 --> 01:17:02.416 [SPEAKER_01]: He's been just tearing apart Triple A. 01:17:02.456 --> 01:17:06.399 [SPEAKER_01]: There's really nothing left for him to prove in the minor leagues, so I'm excited to see him finally get his chance. 01:17:07.472 --> 01:17:11.017 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, he spent all of last year in AAA, and then all of this year. 01:17:11.197 --> 01:17:13.460 [SPEAKER_02]: So he's 239 games. 01:17:13.660 --> 01:17:16.023 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a thousand and fifty nine played appearances. 01:17:16.524 --> 01:17:24.934 [SPEAKER_02]: Change AAA hitting, I don't know what the combined number is, but it's probably in the 295 range overall at the level. 01:17:25.555 --> 01:17:31.057 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if I got that, that was, you know, needs that, you know, promotion to see what he can do at the next level. 01:17:31.137 --> 01:17:32.918 [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm really intrigued to see what long to do. 01:17:32.958 --> 01:17:37.580 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he's a 270, you know, 18, the 20-bong guy at the next level. 01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:48.585 [SPEAKER_02]: Not again, not at all star, not like a high impact bat, but I think he could be a sticky good bat that really surprises some people wanting to get up to Miami, which could be before the end of the season. 01:17:49.397 --> 01:17:51.338 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, that's gonna wrap us up. 01:17:51.358 --> 01:17:52.378 [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of moves here. 01:17:52.418 --> 01:17:54.058 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's some more we didn't even get to. 01:17:54.578 --> 01:17:59.120 [SPEAKER_02]: So many moves here, again, if you wanna know about any more of them, you know, feel free to tweet at us. 01:17:59.140 --> 01:18:01.400 [SPEAKER_02]: Someone will definitely answer your questions on those. 01:18:01.480 --> 01:18:11.783 [SPEAKER_02]: But a lot of moves that we did talk about, a lot of intriguing guys, changing teams, a lot of fantasy ramifications, both in, you know, the short term and the long term, from these moves. 01:18:11.803 --> 01:18:12.663 [SPEAKER_02]: So we hope you enjoyed it. 01:18:12.683 --> 01:18:14.924 [SPEAKER_02]: We hope it was useful to you and all your leagues. 01:18:15.604 --> 01:18:17.445 [SPEAKER_02]: We'll be back with you again next time. 01:18:19.032 --> 01:18:19.764 [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone take care
