Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a thriller by god Zella. Unless it's not just
talking baseball, it is I Ben Mahlor, It is our
number too, our two, and holy guacamole chatter recently that
Bobashett could be one and done with the Mets. Why
would Boba Schett opt out opt out of eighty four

(00:21):
million left on his Mets contract.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
We'll take a look at that.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Also, you make the call the Phillies needing help in
the outfield Joe Adell or Seyu Suzuki of the Cubs.
Who would be a better fit for the Phillies as
they attempt a playoff push? And why should anyone buy
the A's hype, the Athletics hype about that being a

(00:45):
destination for free agents. They all want to play in
Vegas when the Raiders already proved that Vegas doesn't magically
attract star players. We go over that and everything else
right now here. It is our number two, not even
yet at the All Star break, and already the bow

(01:08):

Is that like the equivalent of seventy three to three
or something like that in American football.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
That's a lot. That is a large That is a
large number. All right, all right, all right, so let's
get into it. We're gonna talk some baseball right now.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
By request alf the Alien Opine are demanding some hot
baseball talk. And when a Brigadier general, a senior member
of the Malord militia request that kind of content, then
we must provide that kind of content. It is we
have no choice but to provide that content. Now, that's
a good story here. So the baseball season going on.

(05:22):
We're in this weird period before the All Star break
where there's another month ago or so and then not
the dog days. The dog days are after the All
Star break, after the trade deadline. However, there's chatter about
the comings and goings as we head into that part
of the schedule. And our lead this hour is from
the Metropolitans. That is a baseball team, not a good

(05:44):
one that plays in the Tri state area. There in
New York talking baseball. So we have a status update,
status update on the big offseason pickup of the New
York Metropolitans. If you did not hear, and perhaps not
Bob Bashett. Bobashett, who's been playing third base and occasionally

(06:05):
shortstop for the Mets this year, is widely expected to
hit the eject button on his contract and opt out
of the final two years of his contract after the
you know, after the season.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Obviously I can't do it.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Now he's in the middle of the contract, Bashett signed
a three year contract for one hundred and twenty six million.
I'm told that's a lot of money. In fact, the
aav the average annual value to the mood to the
moo to the moo to lot and this after leaving
Toronto to go play for the Mets.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
It has not gone well so far. He's played a
little better recently.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Over all, though the product has not been up to
standard for Bob Baschett.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
That is a good jumping off point.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Let us discuss the question why why would a guy
like Bobashett, who has eighty four million, two years and
eighty four million left on his contract, why would he
opt out considering he's not playing particularly well. So I've
got pantsed, Roman, candle, and eye doctor, and we will

(07:10):
combine all of these things together, and we're gonna give
you the ABC's and the one two threes, and we
always start with.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Number jump the gun.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Number one, number one, number one, number one, number one.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
What fun.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's number one. Okay, enough, So I'll tell you why.
Thanks for asking. I'll tell you why because the contract
was built for him to activate Bobachhet, to activate the
escape patch.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
The portal.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
It was designed that way. The Mets gave him the
golden parachute up front and not on the back end.
Forty two million, one year, forty million. The salaries actually
too me and the signing bonus forty million. Everything else
is theater. It's kabuki theater. New York was suppose to

(08:00):
elevate Bobaschett. That was the argument, the Big Apple, you
go there, you make it there, you can make it anywhere,
that old song. So Bashett gets to the Mets and
the New York market was supposed to elevate this guy's play. Instead,
he has gotten pants playing in New York. He's been exposed.
I don't know what happened in Toronto. I liked the
player in Toronto. I thought Bobachette was a good player.

(08:21):
He played well against the Dodgers in the in the
World Series last year. But as a Met, yikes, he's
really never been a Met. Bobashett, He's just another baseball mercenary.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's what he is. Bouncing around and all that.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
And he took the signing bonus gold and he kept
the map app open. It was like, okay, I'm here,
I'm already planning my escape. And so this makes it
a little more interesting.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
For the Mets.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
If you are going to start unloading players and you're
relatively confident that Bobachet's not going to be back, then
why wouldn't you repackage and send him out into the
wild blue yonder and just get a little something in return.
The Mets, see, here's the thing. There's teams around baseball Baschets.
I think he's twenty eight right around there, and he

(09:08):
knows that there's always a sucker out there, and they
will forgive him.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
The nerds will overlook this year.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
They'll say, well, look at the extra velocity you can
shove it up here. Took us and it's really impressive
and all that stuff. So the market, despite not playing
particularly well this year, they'll overla say, well, it's just
a New York thing.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Get him out of there.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
He'll be fine, and he'll get even more guaranteed money.
And there are enough teams out there that still be like, Okay,
this one bad year, we're gonna sign this guy.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
He'll be great for us.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
The Mets, of course, are stuck with the reality that
he's hitting in the two thirty range. Bobershet and he's
got eight home runs and a glove that appears to
be made out of wet cardboard playing defense for the Mets.
It's not going well, and supposedly Philadelphia still wants him,
so he could. He was gonna sign with the Phillies,
and then the last minute the Mets, if you believe

(09:59):
the gossip, the Mets came in there and stole them
because they gave this ridoculous offer. But that alone, if
he does opt out, he's got to get to get
more than eighty four million. And the only fly in
the ointment here is the labor issue, which is more
than a labor issue, because the baseball's expected to go
into this arctic winter where there's no negotiation and even

(10:25):
though they've.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Been talking now, there's gonna be no agreement for a while.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
They're gonna miss games into twenty twenty seven, so and
who knows what it's going to look like the landscape.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
They're gonna put.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
They're trying to put a cap on how much guys
can make, which is ridiculous to me. Every team has
a budget and that's the way it should be. Nonetheless,
we'll keep an eye on this and then if not
the Phillies. If you're looking at teams that would bid
on boba shit, how about a reunion the Toronto Temptation
if you will, and played so well for the Blue
Jays and a homecoming there like a Hallmark card, Hallmark movie,

(10:58):
just like that.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
All right.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Now we talked about the Phillies possibly being interested in
Boba schet, we go to Philly where over the weekend
the Phillies had a visit by Snap Crackle Pop. And
if you didn't see this, the Phillies have now decided
to go to market. Apparently you're going to the flea
market here desperately trying to get some outfield help. And
this after right fielder and one time playoff hero a

(11:22):
Dallas Garcia, the Texas Ranger legend from back in the day,
suffered a season ending torn up right lat muscle.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
So he's out and he going.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
So now we're told the Phillies have their radar locked
in on Joe Adele of the Angels and Suzuki of
the Cups. Say ya, Suzuki of the Cups, So we'll
see what happens with that. Now they try to upgrade
in right field. By the way, A dollas Garcia was
not playing very well at all for the fight.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
In Phills when he had been out there before the injury.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
All right, so the question you make the you can
only get one, all right, You're gonna go get Joe Adele,
the current Angel outfielder, or you're gonna go make your
move and get Saya Suzuki of the Chicago Cups. Assuming
all is equal, who would be a better fit for

(12:19):
the Phillies and a conceivable playoff push. The Phillies, after
getting off to a terrible start, brought in Donnie Baseball
Don Mattingly.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
He was only on the staff, they promoted him, and the.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Phillies are in position to have a shot to make
the postseason. All right, So the arrow on this one
is pointing straight towards trader Dave as in Dave Dombrowski
visiting trader Joe as in Joe Adele. And that should
be that should be the move. There, Look, Joe Adele,
who's the Lord? Giveth the Lord take it away? The outfielder,

(12:51):
giveth the outfielder take it away. He had that three
robbery game where he took three home runs away and
then had a doink ball bounce off his.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Head over the wall for a home run.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
It's been a very eventful season for Joe Adele in Anaheim,
that would be the guy, and playing baseball with the Angels,
it's like being in the Federal Witness Protection Program and
in Anaheim and you're surrounded by so many turds that
it's like you're living in a porta potty.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
When you play for the Angels. There's that many turds
around there. And you want to go to a.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Real hungry baseball environment where Philadelphia seemingly would be on
that big board of hungry baseball environments, and you put
him in Philly and suddenly the.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Blossoming will take off. Let him breathe a little bit.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Competitive baseball, a team that's got good players up and
down the roster, not just like one good guy here
and then seven slugs and all that. And Adele in
Citizens Bank Park, which has been a noted hitters ballpark,
it would be like giving a Roman candle to a toddler.
Something loud is gonna happen there.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
And ready or not.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
And he would balance out the lineup, of course, both
these guys would, so they have a left handed heavy
lineup and Dave don Browski. This is kind of moved
dom Browski would make he'd trade some of those minor
league guys because he knows most of them won't make
it and bring in I would go with Adele, but
Suzuki is also an option there, so we'll keep an
eye on it. And the Phillies they need another impact

(14:28):
guy because they've run cold, mostly inconsistent offensively, so we'll
keep an eye on that, all right. Final point to
the Silver State we go where there is currently no
baseball team, although there was this last week and was
reading that opposing players do you see this story over
the weekend? So opposing players are already telling members of

(14:50):
the Athletics to pass the word on. They're all in
on Viva Las Vegas. They're all about it.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
The president of the A he told Bob Nightingale, he said, quote,
you give this quote. He said, let's just say we
won't have trouble recruiting. Close quote. Now, the Athletics owner,
John Fisher, the scumbag that took the A's out of Oakland,
that weasel, John Fisher expects five hundred million dollars in

(15:19):
revenue the first year in Vegas. Let me repeat that
for those of you a little slow in the back
of the room. Five hundred million dollars in revenue for
a franchise that has been a laughing stock for years,
the Athletics, which proves sometimes good things happen to bad people.
And so John Fisher, bragging about that, says they'll be

(15:40):
in the top six in Major League Baseball revenue and
they're very excited about that. And then he said, well,
you know, I'm going to spend more money. Of course,
the A's are making money now, they just don't want
to spend it. And the little weasel, so he says
they're going to retain their young players and they're gonna
make some moves in free agency. And the speculation had
been at the A's to make that big splash, are

(16:02):
going to go out and try to get Trek Skouble
from the Tigers. All right, So the question why would anyone,
and I seriously mean this, why would anyone buy the
hype from the Athletics about people desperately trying to play
in Vegas when the Raiders already proved that Vegas does
not magically attract star players. So why is it going

(16:26):
to be any different in baseball, And the answer is
it's not going to.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Be any different.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
And you should not believe the line of bologney that
is coming out of the Athletics, Like, if you think
players are going to be lining up to go play
in Vegas, you might want to go see the eye doctor,
cause that's not a line of people. That's a line
of tumbleweeds, is what that is. And everybody loves Vegas

(16:52):
for forty eight hours or seventy two hours, and that's
the perfect amount of time when you're traveling with a
baseball team and you come into Vegas for a weekend
series Friday, Saturday, Sunday, in and out. That's what life's
all about. And I don't know that anyone's going to
be uprooting their entire life to go play for John
Fisher unless he massively overpays, which defeats the purpose of

(17:17):
the argument where they're like, well you'll see, let me
tell you something, We're not have no problem recruiting. Well, yeah,
if you pay top dollar, you can get some free
agents to come to Vegas. Are we really doing this again?
That's the part that blows me away.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
With the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I know they've been in Vegas for a few years now.
But this is the exact same I'm not making this up.
We did monologues about this. This is the exact same
players are lining up to come to Vegas boiler plate
that we heard when Mark Davis moved the Raiders to Vegas,
and it never materialized. The Raiders, they didn't have a parade,

(17:53):
a conga line of great NFL players that wanted to
play for the Raiders.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
It didn't happen. And you see the a's president forgetting that.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
The Raiders said the same thing and ended up with
a bunch of mediocre players and a few overpaid mid
tier talents. Because I remember that Vegas, it's not nothing.
There are certainly guys that want to play in Vegas,
just like Miami. There's guys that love Miami and the Marlins.

(18:24):
The Marlins claimed, I remember when they built that stadium
years ago, that oh, we just need a stadium. We
can compete with the Mets and the Phillies and the
Braves and all these teams.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
We just need a stadium.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
So they built the stadium on the taxpayer dime in
Miami and South Florida. There they built the stadium and
they said, well, we're gonna spend it's now been I
believe fourteen seasons since that ballpark opened, and say it
with me now, kids, bupkus. In terms of big time players,
keeping players, bringing players in, it just hasn't happened. And yeah,

(18:58):
the city is a draw like in Miami or Vegas.
The city is a draw in Vegas. If you want
to burn the midnight oil and go out to Perump
where all kinds of things are legal out there, not
in Vegas, but in Perump, go out there, knock yourself out.
More power to you, more power to you. But ultimately
it's gonna come down always to money. And if the

(19:20):
team was winning, you'll be able to different The team's
not not. They're mediocre. They're not really trying to win
until they get to Vegas in a couple of years,
and who knows, maybe even next year. There's a chance
they're ahead of construction. There's not a lot of rain
in Vegas, so the timeline is supposed to their ahead.
There's a chance the A's move even next summer. In
the middle of the summer, I was told that there's

(19:40):
gonna be two different plans, one where the A's play
the whole year in Sacramento. Now, I don't know how
this is gonna work out logistically, because if you sell
season tickets, you're gonna have to issue a lot of refunds.
So logistically, it seems like they're gonna have to stand
in Sacramento next year and not move in the middle
of the season. But there have been teams that have
done that, not to the degree of changing entire cities
in the.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Middle of the season. We'll keep an eye on that.
And I love the fact that John Fisher, that Wheezel.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Owner's like, oh yeah, we're gonna be in the top
six in payroll, and he's acting like they're gonna be
the Dodgers, the Athletics. You can have all this new money.
They're gonna spend all this money, and of course they're
just gonna be clipping coupons again. They'll sign like one
free agent and the rest of the time they'll be
clipping coupons at three in the morning, trying to get
a deal on soap and not. Of course they don't

(20:25):
want the soap, the name brand soap, because you get
cheaper prices on the other types of soap. So New City,
you got the same owner, the same chastity belt on
the wallet if you will, and so good luck and
they're counting on mostly tourists to fill out the stadium.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Good luck on that. It's worked for the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
A little different in baseball, though, if you go to
Vegas for a weekend, you don't want to spend all
of your time at the stadium and then gamble around
that or how's that going to football makes sense?

Speaker 2 (20:58):
You go out there, it's one day.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
You can go on a Friday and then hang out,
gamble all day Saturday, get completely hammered, and then go
to the game on Sunday and then fly back and
there you go. It's perfect baseball not so much. It

Crown good with brotherhood from c To shine.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
Name.

Speaker 10 (30:35):
SEE i don't think That weinby is, dirty. OKAY i
think he's learning the balance between self, defense aggressiveness and acting.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Out AND i think that you have no clue what
you're talking.

Speaker 10 (30:48):
About, well, okay you know how self defense works in.
Baseball it's hard sometimes with a play at the plate
to tell who's the you, know the one who's guilty and.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
So, well typically a play a play hold a play
at the, plate there's one person lumbering down the, line
and then there's the catcher who's not lumbering down the,
line who's at home. Plate so typically the aggressor would
be the person running down the. Line wouldn't that be
obvious that if you're if you're running down the line
like a freight train and you're gonna make, contact you

(31:22):
you can work yourself up into a lather as you
come down the line to hit the.

Speaker 10 (31:26):
Catcher, Right but my point is if fronts and sticks
his foot out And wemby puts his foot a little
bit under, it maybe we should give him a little
bit of grace, here or or you could.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Say there's a there's been a rule for years Because
Kawhi leonard Against Golden, state there was a famous play
in The Western conference playoffs that led to them putting
a rule in where everyone knows you can't put your
feet anywhere near the.

Speaker 2 (31:57):

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Inevitable they're gonna keep adding, teams, right there's no finite.
Number they've got thirty two. Now it's all about more.
Product they need more. Inventory so you got to keep
adding a couple of teams every thirty twenty, five thirty
years or. Something you add more, teams the problem is
you break up THE tv. Money there's so MUCH tv.
MONEY i do buy. IT i don't think it's gonna
happen anytime, soon but these things often they're talked about

years and years in, advance SO i do believe they'll
add two teams next.
