Speaker 1 (00:00):
Omaha, o maha omah. We call him audible. It's our
number for our number four and by request here on
this Monday, the nineteenth day of May, on the Ben
Mathers Show, our four, we go back and revisit a
hot weekend rumor how likely is it that the Celtics
can actually pull off a move to get Cooper Flag

(00:22):
the Duke Prodigy. We'll go to talkson baseball? Did the
Orioles do manager Brandon Hyde dirty? Giving him a pink slip?
Over the weekend in Phillyes GM Dave Dombrowski said that
the loss of closer Jose Alvarado to PDS is disappointing,
but said he's treating it like he would any other
long term injury. Is that how you see it? And

(00:44):
how much is this weight loss drug going to cost
the Phillies closer? All that and more? Right now, have
a wonderful start to your week, have a great Monday.
Here it is our number four. Bring in the wrecking ball.
Really welcome in the beginning of another hour of the

(01:05):
Ben Mahler Show on a Monday, Monday Monday. As we
are in the air everywhere right nearby, we're literally in
your ear drums as we sing a different song than
those other shows. Coast to coast, border the border in
beyond on the vast and whimsically powerful microphones of FSR

(01:29):
em moundating live from the blanket. The safety blanket that
is the overnight show here on Fox Sports Radio has
approved by Lenny the crypt Keeper in Florida and many
other legends. This portion of the Ben Maler Show made
part impossible, I did it again, made part made you

(01:51):
know what? I can't speak? What is that? Lorena? I
have no idea. It's embarrassing, bad job anyway. Ty rack
dot cover forty years. Tyraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile Tire Installation ti i
raq dot Com. The way that tire buying should be,

(02:14):
said the guy there on the microphone. So the NBA
is into the final four. We have the Western Conference
side of the bracket which is all set thanks to
a blowout a domination situation as OKC KOD the Denver Nuggets.
Nuggets were up by eleven outscored by fifty four points

(02:35):
in a stretch and they found themselves down by forty three,
and so turn out the last the parties over. Now,
over the weekend, the Boston Celtics tried to force a
Game seven, which would have been played tonight, and instead
they got smoked. The Celtics absolutely smoked by the Knicks.
And they celebrate. Congratulations to the Knicks. They celebrate their

(02:56):
second round championship parades coming up on Thursday through the
Canyon of Heroes. There just one of the great championships.
Normally you wait until the finals to celebrate a championship,
but the Knicks decided to celebrate a little earlier. But
our lead is from the fallout following the Celtics elimination situation.

(03:17):
All right, so speculation machine a lot of chatter over
the weekend. It has continued here into the new week
that there's something brewing, something big on the horizon, that
the Celtics are not just going to do some fine tuning,
they're going to do some demo after that loss to
the next And so the chatter which started at the

(03:38):
beginning of the weekend and has continued following the loss
to New York. Here reports indicate the Celtics used one
of their thirteen Draft Combine slots to interview the future
stars of the NBA to meet with Cooper Flag, the
brief Doochie who spent a year give or tay on

(04:01):
the Duke campus there. Now, Boston has the twenty eighth
pick in the draft. So if you do the math
on this, you've got the player that's projected to go
at the very top, and then you've got the Celtics
who are projected to have the twenty eighth pick, which
is it's not really working out on that. So the
noise is the noise is, well, the Celtics they want

(04:23):
to move up. Okay, well, moving up's one thing. Maybe
you move into like the fifteen range. But to go
all the way up to the top spot, that seems impossible.
So how about we dive into this. Let's discuss the
question how likely or unlikely is it? How likely or
unlikely is it the Celtics can actually pull off a
move to get Cooper Flag. So my take on this,

(04:45):
I've got loose cannon, zen Master, and white meat, and
we will combine all these things together and we're gonna
make some Goba gool. We're gonna make some Goba gool
is what we're gonna make, all right. So to tip
off here, we've seen the noise out of Dallas that
the Mavericks are like. They're telling all their useful idiots

(05:05):
in the media that they are not going to entertain
trading the number one pick in the draft they won.
I'm sure there was no funny business. The NBA didn't
rig the lottery, of course, they would never do. That
would be wrong. That'd be wrong to rig the lottery.
So the Mavericks have the number pick, they will not
entertain trading. So we decided to use the malar scale

(05:29):
of probability. The malscal of probability is never wrong. It's
never wrong the maloscaler probability. So what is the probability
that the Celtics could convince the Mavericks to trade the
top pick in the draft? So the maliscale of probability
shot back unlikely, not impossible. Unlikely not impossible is the

(05:55):
way this machine operates. And here's why. Two words loose cannon.
Loose Kennon not Steve Hartman who works here, who was
an original loose cannon, that would be the infamous Nico Harrison.
Because if you have Nico Harrison as your GM, you

(06:16):
can do the thing that you probably shouldn't do at
the time you shouldn do it. Like, for example, if
you had asked the Mavericks back in December, are you
gonna trade Luka Donzik, they would have said, we will
not entertain the idea of trading Luca, and then whether
or not they decided to do it, or maybe they
did a solid for the NBA. Either way, Luca ended

(06:37):
up being traded. So you've got the ultimate wild card
here in Nico Harrison. You've got a non engaged owner.
It just doesn't give a crap about the team. A
guy that runs the mavericke. We know that because he
didn't even bother to watch the draft lottery. He had
people calling him to tell him what had happened. When
everyone can watch on their phone these things these days.

(06:58):
Certainly rich people can get whatever they want on their phones,
and they can afford to buy all the different streaming
services and all that. So here's the deal. If Nico
Harrison is still in charge, and as far as we
know he hasn't been fired, I would have fired him already.
He's still there. So if Nico Harrison is still the
GM and he's been given the power of attorney by
the incompetent owner. There is a dimension in the multiverse.

(07:22):
In the multiverse where the Mavericks will trade the number
one pick, and then it becomes well, do they want
to get Giannisi Danta Koombo from Milwaukee? Would they like
to do business with the Celtics? And in order for
the Celtics to have a legitimate chance, Cooper Flag's going
to have to go rogue. He's going to have to
rock the boat, the fishing boat, the main fishing boat

(07:43):
where they're out there getting the lobster. He's going to
have to rock the boat. Start eating double cheeseburgers. You
really want to piss off Nico Harrison. Just get fat,
You know Nico's he loves to fat shame like all
those stories leaked about Luca Dancik. So if Cooper Flag
starts getting fat during a lot of beer smoking hookah,
then Nico Harrison will be like, oh, I gotta trade

(08:03):
this pick. I can't have it. We can't draft this guy,
We'll draft somebody else. We know Nico's obsessed with the
health and all that stuff. He'll be offended and they'll
make some unorthodox decision allegedly if you believe the rumors.
Now we know the Celtics are motivated. They are motivated
to get rid of some of the fat that they

(08:23):
The ownership change is coming up here. It's in the process,
in the queue, the ownership change, and so the skill
set and more importantly, the contract would align with the
cost effective which is another way of saying frugal. The
cost effective frugal outlook for the team known as the

(08:45):
Boston Celtics. Here that they get player that's supposed to
be pretty good. Who knows if you will be as
good as advertised Cooper Flag and you can make the
move and you can avoid the dreaded sacred second apron,
which so many nerves who do the salary cap freak
out about. Oh my god, the second apron. Yeah. So

(09:05):
with Jason Tatum out for the year, Pop goes the Acales.
So Tatum's out next season, and that means the Ce's
have the green light if they want to say, hey, listen,
you know we would have kept the team together, but
Tatum's not going to be there, so let's bring in
a neutron bomb and make a big trade and Nico

(09:27):
Harrison could be tempted. Listen, the Cooper flag thing makes
a lot of sense. He's a main native, Supposedly, he's
a Celtic fan. He grew up a Celtic fan, and
it makes sense geographically that he would grow up a
Celtic fan and it's a natural tie to the Celtics.
And so those are the ingredients that would make you

(09:47):
want to get the player and why not. And they
could get rid of Jalen Brown And the problem is
you'd have to match the contract, so they'd have to
they'd also have to take back some contracts from the
Mavericks to make the man work and all that stuff.
It's a long shot, but as long as you've got
Nico Harrison, there's a shot. It's unlikely if Cooper Flagg

(10:09):
really wants to play for the Celtics and wants to
rock the boat. As we said there, I don't recommend that.
I think you should just play whoever drafts you. That's it,
and deal with it and make the most of it
and all that. But he wants to play that game,
the option is there all right now. Furthermore, we'd pivot
to baseball. Another manager was Bush whacked over the weekend
as the chitch changes taking place after a horrid start,

(10:33):
the Orioles put the O in Orioles. The Orioles whacked
manager Brandon Hyde. You can run, but you can't hide
and not in the dugout. He was the third manager
who was given the boot so far this season. Derek
Shelton was poll axed by the Pirates as he got
let go and Bud Black that was a euthanasia thing.

(10:56):
He was let go by the Rockies and so third
managerial change. Many punnits bashing Baltimore saying that Hyde is
being scapegoated, that he was set up to fail with
the roster this season. So the question is we break
it down. The question is did the Orioles do manager
Brandon Hyde dirty by giving him the pink slip? And

(11:20):
after a minutes long Mallor investigation, I have determined I'm
shaking my head. No, I'm shaking my head. No, absolutely not.
The Orioles offseason was.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Bad.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
I didn't make any big sexy moves here. They lost
Corbyn Burns. It's not like Corbyn Burns has been mister
everything for the Diamondbacks. Anthony Santander was going they didn't
replace those guys. That's the issue there. Nevertheless, last I checked,
and maybe I'm wrong on this. I don't know. I
just do the Overnight Show. This is the big leagues,
and you are what your record says you are. And

(11:52):
the time of the move, the Orioles were fifteen games
under five hundred, last place in the American League East underachievers.
And if you take a wide angle lens from thirty
thousand feet up in the sky, you have a league
where the Rockies and White Sox and a couple of

(12:13):
other teams like the Marlins aren't even trying, like they're
just minor league teams wearing major league uniforms. It's embarrassing
under Rob Manford's major League baseball. And then you have
the Orioles, who have the fourth worst record in baseball
in a league where there are teams not even trying
and I just named three of them, the Marlins and
the Rockies and the White Sox. That's unacceptable, especially when

(12:35):
the Orioles. This is the golden era of oriol baseball.
They spent a decade tanking to get all these top
picks in Gunner, Henderson and Atlee, Rushman and Jackson Holliday
and this guy and that guy and on and these
guys are the base of the franchise. And they they
collectively El Sucko. El Sucko. In Baltimore. Now the final straw.

(12:56):
There was a game over the weekend that about seven
people washed, not even with Coleman. My guy in Baltimore
watched this because he was at the horse race free
loading over the weekend. So the Orioles, you look at
the game over the weekend, they left fifteen runners on base,
which shows you low baseball IQ, bad fundamentals, inability to

(13:22):
execute basic baseball. One oh one and that was it.
That was the final blow. Body blow, body blow, body
blow the Orioles. If you go across the board in
run score, in twenty twenty four, they were fourth in
run score. This year they're twenty fifth. How about pitching pitching,
they have no pitching. The Orioles pitching staff went from

(13:43):
thirteenth in era. They were actually ahead of the Dodgers
that won the World Series last year. The Orioles this
year are twenty ninth out of thirty. That's not good,
is it? You think that's good. I don't think that's good.
Only the Rockies have had a worse pitching staff, el
humor not working out there for the Rockies. And Brandon
Hyde has yet to win a playoff game and he

(14:04):
will never win a playoff game as Oriiols manager five
playoff games, zero for five. And also remember you've got
the zen master philosophy here, Phil Jackson, who taught me.
He pointed out to me years ago, and I was
around the Lakers, believe it or not, and Phil Jackson
was the coach there, that the shelf life of a
coach is a short one. He explained it all that

(14:27):
they have message fatigue, that you have to change the
roster and add a couple new players every year. But
even with that message fatigue, repetitive communication from the coach,
the same messaging everyone's familiar with everyone, you get diminishing
results in terms of motivation and performance. And that's one

(14:48):
of the reasons Phil changed teams. Course it also helps
when Michael Jordan left and whatnot, and Kobe Bryant and
all that. All right, Now, last thing to Philadelphia we go,
where e d was the flavor of the day. The
fighting Phils reliever Jose Alvarado was suspended without pay eighty

(15:09):
game suspension for this cat. The closer in Philadelphia tested positive.
He put his hand in the cookie jar the peds.
He's out As a result. Alvarado will not be eligible
for the postseason now. Dave Dombrowski, mister lifetime baseball executive
with just about every team in baseball overase dom Browski,

(15:29):
the president of Baseball OPS, used to be called the GM.
We'll call him the GM. He said that he learned
about the suspension on Sunday morning. Okay, you believe that
you are a sucker. He said he had heard rumblings
all over the last couple of months that this was possible.
He talked to Alvarado. Dombrowski talked to the Phillies closer

(15:52):
about this, who said he believes liver reliever was not
knowingly taking peds. I'm sure. Wink wink, nod nod. Dombrowski
said Alvarado had taken a weight loss drug. Yeah, I
guess Ozepik has steroids in it. Anyway, led to a
positive test. My favorite part is he hasn't even lost weight.
He's still a stei anyway, He said, the really ver

(16:13):
tested positive a while ago. Whatever that means, did not
know the exact date and had two negative tests after that.
So Phillies executive Dave Dombrowski, characterizing the loss of Jose
Alvarado the closer there to PDS, is quote disappointing, but
said he's treating it like he would any other injury,

(16:37):
long term injury. So the question is, is that how
you see it?

Speaker 3 (16:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
And oh no, and neither is Dave Dombrowski. Dombrowski doesn't
see it that way, absolutely not, And it's just a
nice way to sugarcoat the situation as of now, all right,
as of now, Philadelphia is a wild card team in
the National League. Now what does that mean. That means
if the Phillies are to reach the postseason, Alvarado would

(17:07):
be ineligible for the postseason. So yeah, you'll get him
back in eighty games and you'll still have like a
month ago in the baseball season and all that. But
the Phillies here at this point, they are the other
white meat. They're porked. The Phillies are absolutely poor. Dombrowski
is gonna have to go to market and pick up
some random closer from some crap bag team, likely an

(17:30):
American League team. And by the way, the weight loss
excuse is hilarious, right, he hasn't lost any weight. So
I was like, all right, that's almost as good as
the Padre star and his excuse back in the day
to tease in San Diego. But you can count on
one hand the steroid thing in baseball going back thirty years.

(17:51):
You can count on one hand players who said they
knowingly took a banned substance. It's always the same thing.
So how much of this weight loss weight loss drug
that was taken by the Phillies closer Jose Alvarado? How
much is it going to cost him? Good question? So
I did the Malor math on this now, using malormath,
which is a form of math not always accurate. It's

(18:12):
ballpark figure. It's baseball ballpark figure. So based on the
Malor math, Alvarado is making, believe it or not, one
hundred and eight thousand dollars per game. One hundred and
eight thousand dollars per game. So if you slice that
away and you take eighty games away at one hundred
and eighty twenty five dollars, that works out to eight

(18:32):
point six million in loss salary. But wait, there's more.
The Phillies have a player a team option for the player,
So they have a team option for the player next
season twenty twenty six is highly unlikely they're going to
take that team option. So the team option is nine million.
So if you take the nine million plus the eight
point six million, you get seventeen point six million that

(18:55):
this is going to cost the player. Now, someone will
sign him next season. He's a diminished asset and not
going to end up getting that that kind of money,
would think right away. Maybe eventually he will, but not
right away. It is the Ben Mahler Show. You want
