recently saying Major League Baseball is really just focusing on
the most marketable players. What say you? And are you

(00:42):
of that coming your way right now, settle in. It's

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Are in the air everywhere as we touch base, you
and I doing radio. That's right, radio the way it
was meant to be done, raw, unfiltered, and just a
little bit unhinged.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
On the vast and discernibly powerful microphones of fs are
amminating live from the book as we are your audio
sports book. We are from the Fox Sports Radio Studios
as approved. I see the thumbs up from Donkey Sausage,
I see Late Night Drug tester, I see you guys,
(01:40):
meet your thumbs up. This portion of the ben malshow
made possible by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
fast and free, as Alf and Fergdog say back by
free road hazard protection with convene installation options like mobile
(02:02):
tire installation, sun Real. It's amazing is what that is? Anyway,
we are back at it here. This hour had the
home run derby last night. The Big Dumper gets it done.
And by the way, Robbie the Mariner fan sent me
a message. He said, I want my nickname back. I'm
the original Big Dumper and nobody disagrees. Justin and Cincinnati
says he is the original big Dumper. How did cal
(02:24):
Raleigh Steele Robbie the Mariner fans nickname? Anyway, our lead
this hour is from the A t L but not
more home run derby chatter, not about the All Star Game.
Which is tonight and it doesn't count, but it is
on Fox. It is on Fox the All Star Game.
The festivities continue in Georgia. Now we are a few
(02:49):
weeks away. Today's July fifteenth, so we're little over two
weeks away from the trade deadline. Oh man, how exciting
is that? Does get your horny?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The trade deadline. Possibly the biggest name that is going
to be moved based on actual production, tangible production has
gone on the record.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Did you see this?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
No, it happened at the All Star Game, the media scrum.
We are talking about Hanio Suarez of the Arizona diamond
Back's better known about his nickname Gino. But Hanio Suarez
of the Diamondbacks's contract expires for Arizona at the end
of the season. They don't seem all that interested in
(03:33):
keeping him. Several teams, including the Yankees and a team
he used to play for, the Mariners, are knocking on
the door. You can almost hear them knocking in the background.
What sound effects we have here, Louck, there's the Mariners knocking.
Now is that the I think that's the Yankees at
the door. Yep, that's the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
All right. So they're knocking on the door.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
They have interest in Suarez, the third base thumper from
the Valley of the Son. He's a wanted man. He's
a wanted man. So when asked specifically about the Bronx
Bombers the possibility of playing in the Big Apple at
Yankee Stadium for all those Wall Street people to go
to Yankee games, Suarez said, quote, I feel it's a
(04:16):
team who wants to win. Okay, didn't look like it
in the World Series when numb Nuts Aaron Judge dropped
the ball in center field. Anyway, Suarez continued, He said,
they had a taste last year. Oh yeah, they did,
and they didn't like to taste against the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They're hungry.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Still, if I got over there, Gino Suarez said, I
would do my best and try to help them win
the World Series. Close quote. So this is the part
where I interject the best means as good as all
the rest. So when you want to do your best,
you mean you're just gonna do as good as anyone else.
So all right, let us discuss the question is as follows,
(04:55):
what do you read in to Arizona's third base thumper
he Haanio Suarez of Arizona. There his comments on the
possible deal to the Yankees, in particular, So I've got
granted countertop, We've got ken dolls and lops, the rolls,
(05:16):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make the gabba Ghul. We're gonna
make the gobbag because if you play for the Yankees,
you can get some good gaba ghoul. You can definitely
do that all right now. First of all, so we're
seeing the falling of the ice, if you will here
(05:36):
that following the daily developments, because I have no life.
I get paid that not have a life and sit
here all night and yap about sports. So this story
has evolved now, Suarez said. Earlier this month, just a
few days back, Suarez of the Diamondbacks had said that
he did not want to be traded. He did not
(05:57):
want to leave the land of the cacti right there.
Loved all those chained restaurants in the greater Phoenix area.
He didn't want to be going to leave that town. Well,
now he's changed his song sheet. He's singing a different
tune and he's he's going to the meaty sports cliche page.
Is what he's doing now he is right. Now, everything
(06:21):
can happen, you know, anything gonna happen. I don't want
to say I don't want to be traded. He said that,
I don't want to say I don't want to be traded,
even though he had said he didn't want to be
traded earlier. Quote continues, because this is a wait for
it starts with a B, that's right, ends with an S.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Business.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Suarez said, this is a business, and you never know.
It is something out of my control. Wherever I go,
I will do my best. He said that again, the
term best close quote. Now, Meanwhile, if you watched from
Afar with much optimism back in spring training, the Arizona
baseball team, their season is not in the Valley of
(07:03):
the Sun.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's in Death Valley.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Right now. It's a little different out in California. They're
in Death Valley.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
The Diamondbacks are under five hundred.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I was told years ago, if you're under five hundred
the All Star Game, you suck. So they sucked. And
they're putting sore as Gino sore as. They're on Zillo.
And if you look at the caption on Zilo there
they say a motivated seller check that box will accept
suspect prospects, because a prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise,
(07:32):
a couple of crappy bullpen arms and a half eaten
bag of big League two for our big bopper, you
can have them. You can have them now when you
look at those available and you take a look at
the landscape at.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
The trade deadline.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Assuming and this is a big assumption, assuming he can
handle the bright lights of the Pennant race and perform
at a high level, then Suarez, Gino Suarez would be
just what the doctor ordered. There's no question about that.
If you're looking to jumpstart your offense, trying to jump
(08:11):
start your offense with a jolt, then why not. Because
he's not a fixer upper. This is not well, maybe
he'll play better. Change of scenery, guy, that's not it.
We're talking about. Sarez this season is one of the
top home run hitters in baseball. This is the place
you get. It's got the granite countertop, it's got the
skyline view, it's got the concierge. It's got it. It's
(08:34):
not that run down, and it kind of smells like
the carpets had cigarettes from the seventies in there. It's
not that like this is high end, high end. If
you you want a high end rental, that's where it is.
He's a free agent at the end of the season.
But Suarez, he's even window shopping. Like I read that
comment and it's like he's out there thinking, well, what
(08:57):
would it be like to go out down Fifth Avenue
in Manhattan? You know, it's like Black Friday there is
I can play for the Yanks. You don't want to
go out in the Bronx at night, but in Manhattan
parts of Manhattan you can't. So there's a bit of
a mating dance going on right now, just a little
bit of a mating nest. Now. Secondly, we pivot to
(09:18):
the Complaints and Concerns Department of Major League Baseball mid
season grumbling. Mid season grumbling. That would be Philadelphia Phillies
outfielder Nick Castlanas, who's not happy. He continues to badger
Major League Baseball over the All Star selection. The All
(09:38):
Star Game is tonight, It's on Fox. You better watch,
he recently said. Castalanos. He said Major League Baseball is
really just focusing on the most marketable players.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
He said, close, WoT what say you what, say you?
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So Kesaloos is not wrong. He's saying this like it's
a bad thing, Like I don't know that. The only
one I had a big issue with was the mizz
because he had only made five starts.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
That was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But from a practical standpoint, right, from a practical standpoint,
the business of baseball, Major League Baseball is pushing the
pretty faces, if you will, the players that they have
determined are the most marketable players, the Ken Dolls of
the Diamond, if you will, right, the Barbies and the
Ken Dolls of the Diamond, and uh, you know guys
(10:35):
who don't have that name value that aren't in it
for that and just kind of grind it out players
they get pushed to the side, just push it off
to the side. There you do that, and they don't
fit the cast and call that becomes the problem. But
what else would you do? Like seriously, I'm not asking
(10:57):
that like cause I'm just I don't know what else
you would do? Did anyone think the All Star Game
selection is a meritocracy? Did anyone think that they ask
people to vote based on who they like? It's a
popularity contest? Remember years ago, when they did studies on
political elections in America, and they determined that most people
(11:22):
vote based on looks of if both political candidates are
relatively close, like normally the better looking personal win. Or
now they've determined in recent years who's got the bigger celebrity.
That's a big thing. People love celebrities, they love the
celebrity efforts, and they love celebrities. Well, the All Star
(11:44):
vote much the same. But if baseball's picking the other
players on the roster, it's like America's next great shortstop
contest on MLB network. Right, It's welcome to the Influencer League,
not the AL, not the NLBIL, and not the Internet. Nationally.
The influencer League is very important. What's your finger, what's
(12:04):
your your handprint on social media? And what's that? Yeah? Uh,
And it's all about being miked up. You gotta be
miked up. And who can flip the bat in the
air everywhere? That really matters. That's the big thing. And
all things being equal, who can sell the most deodorant?
Who can sell the most soap? The Great John Stirley
(12:25):
on my podcast The Fifth Hour picks Oh Yeah, Voice
of Yankee Baseball, John Sling said Ben. The most important
thing is you gotta sell the soap, and which players
can sell the soap, and they're the ones that get
the not all right now, final thought, we go back
to the high speed rumor wire, not the transaction wire,
the rumor wire in Major League Baseball to Boston, questions
(12:48):
remain about forever cheating as one thousand and two, one
thousand whole Alex Bregman, his whole career is Sully because
he's a cheat. So he's with the Red Sox now,
and will he be with the Red Sox when we
turn the calendar to August. Inquiring minds would like to
(13:10):
know now he's done, he can opt out of his contract.
He's got all kinds of loopholes and slides and escape.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Portals and all that at the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
And some have suggested the Red Sox should immediately sign
this cheating a hole Alex Bregman to a long term
extension to make sure that he can't leave at the
end of the season and all that stuff, and that
has not happened. Would the Red Sox consider trading Alex Bregman?
(13:46):
Would they say bye bye and get rid of him
if he's not resigned. Now according to a recent report,
and the person that gave us the report is important.
We'll tell you why in a minute. John Hayman from
the New York Post. That's a tabloid. So John Hayman
claims that the two sides, Bregman and the Socks, the
(14:09):
Red Sox, have not had any conversations. They have not
spoken recently about an extension. Nothing, zippo zero. So are
you surprised? Here's the question, are you surprised that the
Red Sox have not engaged Alex Bregman and his representation
(14:32):
in a long term option to stay in Boston. So
I am shaking my head. No, I am shaking my head.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Now, John Hayman, the messenger is important. John Hayman is
the messenger pigeon. He is the mouthpiece for the Scott
Boris empire. If Scott Boris wants to use a useful
idiot in the media, who are you gonna call John Hayman. Now,
there's other people, but he's most too follow up Baseball
know that John Hayman just repeats whatever Scott Boris tells him.
(15:06):
That's the perception that is out there. And so if
you look around the room, if you look around the
room from here, and you'll call all the way around
the room there.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Right now, it's mid season, it's past the midway point.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Alex Bregman is playing without a contract that will lock
him into Boston past this year, meaning if.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
He plays well, he's out.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Now he gets hurt and he doesn't think the market
is there for him, and he doesn't want to go
to market, and then he'll stay in buss And the
only way it works with the Red Sox is if
he sucks. If Bregman's good, even though he's got that
dirt all over the cooties because he's a cheating astro,
then he'll still even go somewhere else and make more money.
(15:55):
And so nobody's picked up the phone like that part,
according to Hayman, who just repeats whatever Scott Morris tells him.
Who's the agent for Alex Bregman. Nobody said, hey, hey, Alex,
I know you like trash cans and buzzers and whistles
and all that. Do you like lobster rolls? Which you
like some lobster rolls? And you can continue to hang
(16:18):
out at Finway for another couple of years. They've not
had that, so what does that tell us? That tells
us dead give away? Dead give away? The Red Sox
are tip toeing like they're tiptoeing around hand grenades. They're
tiptoeing around Bregman. And the reason they're doing that is
(16:39):
because he is a live wire in a kiddie pool. Well,
not necessarily him. He's just a cheat dime a dozen.
But it's his agent, right, Alex Bregman is walking around
with Scott Boris. Yes, that's Scott Boris in his ear
like the oracle of free agent. See, just wait, you cheater,
(17:03):
Just wait, that's what Scott's saying. I know you might
to cheat because you're in a hole, but just wait
to the end of the year, Bregman.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Whispering sweet nothings into the dirty dog, Alex Bregman. He's
using phrases like market value, what about that generational wealth?
More generational wealth? Right, this is your time. But here's
the truth. Now, here's the truth. Regman doesn't really want
an extension. He doesn't. In fact, what if I told
(17:34):
you Bregman never really wanted to go to the Red Sox.
He thought he was going to get massive money from
the Detroit Tigers, another franchise which is a good landing
spot for people to cheat. The Detroit Tigers hired the
manager of the cheating a holes. He's hiding out there.
So he thought I'd go to Detroit. Maybe Toronto. They
(17:56):
like cheaters in Toronto. Springer, George Springer cheat. He's in Toronto.
So there's certain teams that are okay with it, right,
They're okay with what the Astros did. They support it
and they look the other way. So Bregman thought one
of those teams was gonna pay him. Now the Red
Sox are on that list. They have a cheating guy
and their manager, Alex Cora Dirty who's their their manager.
(18:20):
So but Bragman really didn't want to go to Boston.
He did, right, He's treating this like.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
A gap year. Now the things have gone well. The
Red Sox have won.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Ten in a row. He's been hurt.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
He's back now, played all right for the Socks.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But he's got Scott Boris on that that GPS and
it's set to Mega Megamega Deal, Mega Megamega Mega deal. Right,
and in Boston, if they pay up at the end
of the year, test the market go to market test
see what's going on.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I mean, it doesn't matter. The guy's dirty, he's tarnished.
He's got codies, just like Altuve and Spring and all
those guys that were part of the twenty seventeen cheaters.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
They're all dirty.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Real baseball people don't think anything they do is legit.
Now someone's gonna pay them, Pregmant and then it'll be
probably Toronto, Detroit or Boston.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
We'll pay him a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And I just I look at Bregmany's got that that
patented sneer on his face like he's auditioning for the
villain role in some low brow like like a mob
movie or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And but someone will pay him. All right. It is

back hundreds of years without Farmer's Almac and it correctly
predicts the weather even now it predicts the leaven. It's
a great it's it's wild, like some things that are
like like everyone that's ever been in the military. They
all tell military military people to read sun Zoo's Art
(27:13):
of War, like that book, which is like less than
one hundred pages, that still is the guideline for combat,
and the Farmer's Almanac. When it comes to weather, everyone
still goes to that because it doesn't matter about AI
and the Internet and all that stuff. They know what
they're talking about, right, that's rights.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
She was.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I floored, Andrew, you didn't know what to say. You
were green your ship.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Weather is not what I turned to. But I know
they do the new moon cycles and the phone.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well yeah they we they have.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
The weather too.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
They predict the weather based on certain events and whatnot.
So but they have the weather, they have the cosmic
events as well, so all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
So yeah, so I looked at them, you know, for
the more astrological portion. So to Levene's point, two weeks
before merchur reaction retrogrades, in this case July seventeen, things
start slowing down and getting confusing, and then two weeks
after till it gets back to the degree it retrograded at.
(28:11):
We're not quite out of the zone yet.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, that explains why we had marked a full name
guy return from the top rope, and we also had
to Roman Charleston very angry. It was a night of
anger last night on the show. People very upset, very angry.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Oh yeah, I remember that. I actually put in something
on X about it's not quite the full moon. We're
a few days past it, but a lot of wild
callers and Mercury retro shade meeting before it retrogrades. July seventeenth,
things start getting confusing and funky and breaking down and
technology you can't really trust communications. And this home run
(28:52):
derby off by one inch. I mean, that's pretty crazy
to stop and think about it. I mean, Brent Rooker
took the high road. He's a scorpio with the a's obviously, and.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Publicly he took the high road. Privately he was likely
throwing stuff in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
But publicly he oh yeah, I could see.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah. All right, Well, well we'll leave it there, but
thank you, Andrea, appreciate your time and your service. There
should go Virgo and service, Virgo and Service. You want
to shout out Andrea on X say hello to Van
the one legged Bama Man. We smoked him out. Hello,
Van the one legged Bama Man.

Speaker 1 (29:30):

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
The Commissioner interview with Pat Sleeveless mccabee.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I did not you know. Actually I had teased the story.
We didn't get to it last Star, but I did
not see that. I did see they had an All
Star news conference and some reporter hijacked the news conference,
asking like Dave Roberts and Pat McAfee question about the
All Star Game, which was moved because baseball got political
a couple of years ago, and now it's back in Atlanta,
(30:51):
and so like this reporter ambushed Dave Roberts and Pat
McAfee at this event, which of course all look at me,
reporter who implied they were very scared.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
To be in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I mean, they're like they wanted a purple heart because
they were in Atlanta, which was interesting. I thought that
was ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I remember when they remember when they canceled them, know
nothing about it. You used to go minly games, but
don't live anywhere near a part now, yeah, robot what
does this robot each color look like? How does this
sign work?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Well, you don't actually see that. You don't see the
robot man.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
What they do is they have an earpiece in the
umpire and then they have the outgo arrhythm or whatever
is keeping track of the strike zone feeds the umpire
and its headset ball or strike, and so it looks
to the to the naked eye, it looks like the
umpires calling the strikes, but it's actually being told what
to call he's just a dog. He's like a stool pigeon.
(31:52):
If you know what I.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Effort that it gets it down to one tenth of
an inch or something.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
That's what they say. You know, if if I was
if I was selling a product, I would say the
same thing. If I was trying to sell Major League
Baseball on this, I would sell the same thing. I
would say, Yeah, I would add four inch coopt, he
would add extra inchest. What's that?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
If I was an umpire, I would I would like
this pressure off. But he'd always say, hey, well.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It does for this short term.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
But the long think of the long game, the long
game is Okay, we've done this long enough with the
humans being the messengers. Why don't we save some money
and get rid of some umpires. We don't need them.
We'll just flash it on the scoreboard and everyone will know.
And so that's the next step.
Speaker 4 (32:38):

Speaker 1 (32:38):

starts this way and then eventually it goes another direction
