(00:26):
Rafael Devers doesn't want to play DH he wants to
only play third base. Who's got the leverage? Devers or
the Red Sox? Also, what does Mike Trout changing positions
from centerfield to right field and Anaheim signal to you?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
What does it signify to you? We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And one Soto and Aaron Judge are at loggerheads over
who's got a better chance to win between the Mets

our number four. Have a wonderful Tuesday. We're gonna call

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben
(01:17):
Mathers Show.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We are in the air eywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Squirming as we stare off into space, coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and fashionably
powerful microphones of fsre ammating live from the corners, all
four corners of the world. We're broadcasting live from the
(01:45):
tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Tyrack
the way tire buying shoould be. I know the Salsas
are a big believer in the number ten thousand, So
(02:06):
I lead this. We're gonna change it up and we
go where the stories take us. And really good baseball content.
No games. There's actually a spring training game on Thursday.
You know, spring training begins on Thursday. The Dodgers and
the Cubs play on Thursday. That's the first spring training
game a couple of days away. Well, more spring drama
(02:27):
to fill up the content plate here content Kitty Dateline,
Grapefruit League Spring Training Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The big news over the last couple of days is.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The fallout from cheating as one two one thousand hole
Alex Bregman, who has landed with the socks so Bregman
the big pick up there. The Red Sox had a
victory lap news conference the other day, and the other
shoe has now dropped. The other shoe was now dropped.
(03:00):
If you have not heard yet, Red Sox star forever
slugger Rafael Devers rejected, rejected the very thought that he
would be willing to change positions and leave the hot
corner at Finnway to become a designated hitter to accommodate
(03:23):
the Red Sox edition of the cheater Alex Bregman. And
he used an interpreter for some of this. But listen
to the response by Rafael Devers about the idea of
leaving third base.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So are you saying if they ask you, the DH
won't do no?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That was him? Can you expand on a Michael, I
played third? I play third. There you go, so we
didn't even need an interpreter.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I played third, all right, So let us discuss the
question who has the leverage? Who has the leverage here
in this positional standoff, Rafael Devers or the Red Sox.
So I've got Levi's five oh one jeans concession speech
(04:12):
and fire breathing dragons, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some
garlic fries. Watch some baseball, get little garlic fry action.
That's the way to go. So my first thought here
the arrow is pointing, believe it or not, the direction
(04:32):
of Rafael difference. Now that there was a time that
the team always had the advantage, not the player. But
that time is long gone. Like a house by the
side of the road.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It is a gone gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone gone.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Here's why the Red Sox ownership gave away Mookie Betts
to the Dodgers. They didn't want to pay Xander Bogarts,
and so they finally they pay aid Rafael Devers. They
paid him the big money. They gave him the forever contract,
and so he is a made man. He's got him
by the base balls. As they say. Devers is locked up,
(05:13):
if my math is correct, for another ten years and
over three hundred million dollars on his contract. So meanwhile,
you've got the former cheating as trow Alex Bregman, who
has one of those pillow contracts where he's only really
(05:34):
in Boston for one year if he plays well, he'll leave.
If he plays poorly, he'll stay. It's one of those deals.
He'll opt out every Year's got an opt out. So
he's not really committed to the rest lucts. Now the
wild part of the story, which is great because in
this player empowerment era where the employer does not have
the empowerment.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
In twenty twenty four, if my.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Math is corrected, Rafael Devers was the worst defensive third
baseman by three major metric He was the worst third baseman,
not just in the American League, in all of baseball,
And if you go back longer, just in the American League,
which plausibly is where the Red Sox play their games
most of the time, Rafael Devers is the worst defensive
(06:15):
third baseman in terms of errors over the last seven years,
seven straight years.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
We used to have this guy called name the Boston Hater,
and he would talk about Rick.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Burrelson, butter fingers Burrelson, Well, how about butter fingers butter
fingers Devers here, And yet he wants no part of
being a glorified pinchater, being a designated hitter. And so
what we have here is a soft standoff.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's not your typical old school standoff because in the
olden days, back before players were making hundreds of millions dollars. Well,
you just won't play, then, I don't care. We'll sit
you down if you don't. You want to listen to us.
We're the We're the ones that are in charge, but
not anymore so. Dever's the way I look at this
from thirty thousand feet is Rafael Devers is double dog daring,
(07:06):
double dog daring John Henry and the ownership group to
trade him double dog dairy.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I'm not beginning.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm not dh I'm a third baseman. You paid me
to play third base. I'm not gonna go over and
be a designated theor. And he knows, Rafael Devers that
he is wearing Levi's five oh one jeans. He's got
the pants on in the old relationship there and the
real fun is going to begin though, once we get
into the baseball season, when Alex Bregman is kicking baseballs
(07:39):
at second base right and left, while Rafael Devers is
booting balls over at third base and you've got Edward
scissors hands at third and second base, the Red Sox
will not be good because they will have terrible defense
at both positions. And then what do you do?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Want to play anywhere other You don't want to be
a DH Devers, Bregman would love to go back to
third base because there's more money there than in second base.
And so here you go, all right. Now, Secondly, we
pivot away from the Red Sox. We go all the
way across the country to spring training in Arizona, where
at one point the face of baseball is now a
(08:23):
diminished asset.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We're talking about Mike Trout.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What does the news out that Mike Trout is changing positions?
Unlike Rafael Devers, Mike Trout will no longer be an
everyday center fielder in Major League Baseball Circle twenty twenty five.
Those days are over, now rare and appropriate. Trout will
occasionally play center field, but he is now the right
(08:45):
fielder at the Big A, the Angels moving him to
right field in Anaheim. What does that signify to you?
So to me, that signifies a hole, a sinkhole which
Mike Trout has fallen down in and he is throwing
in the sponge. He is conceding. Now, this is like
(09:07):
a politician that has lost the election. He is giving
a concession speech. Mike Trout, He's doing the walk of shame,
is what he's doing. Here is the center field is
where the star goes. Right field is where the guy
that's not that fast anymore and slowing down and just
a shell of what he had been goes.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And that's Mike Trout.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And the Angels, along with Trout, are both admitting what
we've all known for a long time that because Trout
cannot stay healthy, he is a net negative. And so
this becomes a salvage and recovery mission for what's left
of Mike Trout in his career, which financially has many
years left on his contract with the Angels.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But they're just doing this to preserve his.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Body, because his body is like that of Kawhi Leonard
or Anthony Davis, or pick your favorite athlete that can't
stay on the f or the court. So trying to
squeeze more juice out of the orange, trying to get
a little more juice out of the orange. Now, Major
League Baseball's probed the news service major League Baseball Network.
(10:12):
They released their annual list of the Top one hundred
Top one hundred players earlier this month. And Mike Trout
came in at number thirty nine. How the Mighty have
fallen the lowest Mike Trout has ever been ranked on
that arbitrary list, and considering how damaged Mike Trout has
(10:34):
been for many many years here, he's missed like four
hundred games or something like that in recent years, a.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Weird surprise that he was even that high.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
In fact, Trout played just twenty nine games last season
before he had snap crackle pop pop up and had
a torn meniscus in his left knee. So just twenty
nine games last year for Mike Trout, but he's missed
over four hundred right around that number here in recent years.
Now the fun we now go back over to the
(11:02):
American League and National League, a hybrid story involving the
Mets and the Yankees in the in the Bronx and
in Queens, but really in Florida for the Grapefruit League.
And that is where Juan Soto said he's not going
to be that guy, even though he's getting seven hundred
and sixty five million dollars. But Juan Soto signed with
the Metropolitans in when he signed that contract, he said
(11:25):
a couple months back that he believed that the Mets
gave him the best opportunity to win. They put him
in a position to win there better than the Yankees, right,
So his former teammate, Yankee captain El Capitan, Aaron Judge,
was asked about that, and do you think Aaron Judge
agreed with jan Soda the Mets give him a better
(11:47):
chance to win or disagreed or said no comment. Well, shockingly,
if you pick door number two, you're right. Yes, Aaron
Judge disagrees with Juan Soto and that thought process, saying, quote,
that's his opinion. We can say, he can say rather
what he wants. I definitely disagree with him, Aaron Judge
(12:09):
told reporters. So you've got one Soto on one side
of the aisle, You've got Aaron Judge on the other
side of the aisle. They're at loggerheads over who's got
a better chance to win, the Mets or the Yankees.
Whose side are you on? You make the call. I
love that you make the call. So I'm on the
(12:29):
side of Aaron Judge on this. I'm on the side
of the Yanks, and I don't think the Yankees know
what they're doing. And they've got issues, but I just
don't trust the Mets. I don't both these cats are
obviously biased with their opinion. They're both making ridiculous amounts
of money to play baseball. But the Yankees I have
ahead of the Mets for a couple of reasons here,
(12:50):
mainly location.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Location looks well. They're both in New York.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
But the Yankees playing the American League East, and while
Baltimore has a good regular season team, they've turned out
to be frauds in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
The Red Sox are.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Kind of trying. Toronto's a hot mess. You go by
the division, you go team by team in the division here,
you're like, well, it's not really all that great. It's
not that great a division. But ultimately that's obviously right now.
We're doing the show today. We're not worried about two
years from now or three years from now. But ultimately,
at some point down the Wild Blue Yonder Road, you're
(13:31):
going to face the drawbridge which has been pulled back,
and there'll be a moat surrounding the castle. Surrounded in
that moat will be fire breathing dragons that will be
swimming around there. The dragons will be wearing Onesies with
the Dodger logo on them. See that's the problem. At
(13:54):
least the Yankees can get to the World Series and
then melt down again the Mighty Dodgers. The Mets have
to beat the Dodgers to get to the World Series,
but they have to also worry about in their own division,
the Atlanta Braves if they ever stay healthy again, and
the Philadelphia Phillies if they you know, if sinbutts were
(14:15):
candy and nuts. But if the Philadelphia Phillies actually live
up to their hype offensively in the playoffs, good luck.
So that's a tougher road for the Atlanta Braves, just
getting PI Philly in Atlanta, and then also the Dodgers
in the National League, and then whoever wins the American
League pennant in the World Series. It is the Ben
malshow I did love the video the bus drivers sent
(14:37):
out the Roberto used to work on the show. He
sent video from Yankee spring training camp of Garrett Cole
covering first base and a spring training drill, which is
just so great because if only Garrett Cole had chosen
to cover first base in the World Series, maybe things
would have been different. But Garrett Cole was too big
of Prima Donna to cover first base in Game five
(14:58):
of the World Series and couldn't be bobbed to do that,
couldn't be bothered to hustle, But he did hustle in
spring training.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Isn't that nice? Yankee fans.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yes, Garrett Cole, your highest paid pitcher hustling in spring training.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Let's see, can't read that?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
DJ Smith Patrick in San Diego writes and he says,
Benjamin talking baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is the best. Benjamin, it's all about ball. It's all
about ball.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Timothy writes in from Parts Unknown, he says Raphael Devers
should changed his first name to just Ralph, because that's
what he's doing up chucking balls on the daily.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
He hits the ball well fielding.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Can I see your ball, sir, I'd like to see.
They don't pay him to field the ball. They pay
him to hit the ball. The top defensive player in
baseball does not get paid unless they hit.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It's the way baseball is.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Hello to Mike the Leprechaun, who is up next in the.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Greater Boston area. Hello, Mike the Leprecaun, Top.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Of the morning.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I agree about Raphael ever, I mean definitely he's being
a baby.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Well he's a well paid, well fed baby. Well, yes,
you did you just call me a baby? Did you
you want to step I'll kick your ass. I don't
care if your leopard, I'll punch you like a football.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Did you see Donald Trump when in the Daytona five
hundred That was amazing?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Was that was pretty cool?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Do you think that was his idea? Or somebody said,
why do you just drive the motor? Drive the motor
came around the dayton That's like something I would do.
I want to drive around the Daytona five hundred track
one hundred thousand people and that's funny.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah, that was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Harder and touch your hardy and toucher they.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Call you don't even know the names. How dare you toucher.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
And hardy names.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Haven't they funny names?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Hard Hardy?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You think like Laurel and Hardy like they're but that's
second dead if you watch them back.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I have a joke.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Okay, I shouldn't have said that, but I have a joke.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I finally thinkured out what's wrong with Ben Mallord's brains?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Do you want to know?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Nobody? Nobody?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Does anyone want to know?
Speaker 8 (22:39):
Not?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
On the left?
Speaker 6 (22:40):
On the left?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Let me you're interrupted. On the left side, nothing is right.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
On the left side, nothing is right, and on the
right side nothing is left.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You'll get into wolves.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Really is that? When does one get to what? How
old are you?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
By the way, I'm more than sixty?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Oh yeah, all right, so if i'm too, well, what
are you exactly? All right? Well, thank you, mister leprekhn
All right, I'm gonna hang up on you. Go away,
I know, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, Ryan in main wrights and says, hey, Ben, there's
optimism surrounding the Red Sox around here in New England.
What's wrong with these idiots? Been the curse of Mookie
bets lives strong people. Yeah, that was pretty bad transaction.
That was Luka doncik like where you just gave away
your top player.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's what nobody said.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Mookie was fat though, and the Red Sox traded and
they just didn't want to pay him. And he's already
won two World Series with the Dodgers and he's got
another forever amount of time left on the contract and
all that.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Well, wild story.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The big boozer of the day, The big boozer of
the day that goes to Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
This guy, Ben Cleveland is.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
His name, but he place for a team in Baltimore,
Ben Cleveland, so he didn't see the story. You know,
I know the guys get duys all the time. Shouldn't
drink it drive, especially in the uber age. But you know,
boys will be boys and not the brightest sometimes. And
so the offensive lineman, Ben Cleveland, enjoys a couple of
(24:22):
drinks now and again, thank you sir, have another. Yeah,
he was arrested recently for DUI. This happened. Teams had
the story and he blew a staggering point one seven
to eight with the breathalyzer that was administered. Now we've
(24:42):
done a little bit of malor math on this. He
is listed a lot he's like three hundred and sixty pounds.
So if you do the math on this, they estimate
on the charts, and the charts are aren't as acurate,
but like one hundred and thirty pound man would have
to drink six beers and one hour to blow a
one point one seventy five.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But this guy's three hundred and sixty pounds, So.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That would mean he would have to drink in one hour,
approximately seventeen beers in one hour, top seventeen beers. However,
there is a conspiracy theory that is making the rounds
that if he instead of drinking beer, drank a fifth
of one hundred proof whiskey, Wow, that that would have
(25:31):
been very similar. So he could have drank twenty six
point six ounces of one hundred proof whiskey and that's
twelve point eight ounces of alcohol, So that would be
about where he's at. This guy, I mean going for it. Yeah,
you're gonna go drinking. That's next level. How can you
even drink that much? Well, I'm guessing that's not his
(25:52):
first time at the bar. I'm thinking he's even doing
that for a minute or two.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's not his first trip to go to the big house.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, yeah, I mean they sobered him up and then
he's got to have to This doesn't cost you twenty thousands?
Has the price gone up if you get a DUI?
I thought it was like twenty thousand. You gotta pay
lawyer fees, get your license restate. It depends what state
you are. In some states, like in Arizona, I think
you go to jail for that, because that's extreme. DUI,
I don't know that. I think this happened in uh
(26:23):
I thines. I read Georgia, I remember correctly.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, it was in.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Milldeville, Georgia, bald Baldwin County, Baldwin County.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (26:38):

Jed who fled?
Speaker 3 (26:54):

I love you. I'm gonna be honest. I'm stating on
the toilet. I'm not going number one or two or three.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
I just want to look at the show. The timing
is excellent. Uh, you know, I mean, I'm echoing. It's
it's well earned by now I'm taking a bit malor
thinking about what wiping my eddie Garcia and then and then,
you know, if I get constipated, I'll explore that off
Fox Sports Radio. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Why? Why are you on the toilet?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Definitely not to your nates for defecate, not road ridges?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh you needed a place to sit down to do
what you're doing? I got you.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
I think I have good I'm trying to find a
place where I can have like the random entertaining and
we yet useful thoughts. I've not yet found a place
where I can become the thinker. So I'm in here.
Come I've become the stinker.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, well that's great. Well you found a place. Congratulations,
I'm still there, dude.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I love you so much. It's unbelievable that I admitted
to being on the bathroom. I'm a toilet with it.
Seconds of here, I'm still in the air. America is
great on only on the outside.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Can you can you flush the toilet to make sure
you're not lying? Can we can we have you flush
the TOI.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
You know, being it's like having fans here. I got
the fart fan going. So I'm constantly giving autographs and
it's amazing all the time, like a constant custard, like
the fervor of my of my Papa Ross.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I understand, all right, I don't I don't want to interrupt.
I don't want to interrupt.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You're very busy there on the commode and the throne,
and you're doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I don't want to bother you.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
But I'm saying, okay, all.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Right, go away now, Blinds the hold any hang up
on him?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Blind Scott is next on the north end of Boston.
Hello Blind Scott.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Then you know what happened. I got kick out of
this convenience store earlier. I went in there and I
was like, can somebody help me find some self his
energy drinks in And the guy goes, I'm busy, and
I started asking some customers and the guy goes, you're
gonna leave my store now, because he said I would
making fun of him, judging him because his English was
really really bad, you know. And then I went the
(28:52):
Whole Foods over the weekend, like a similar thing happened.
I bought all my groceries and then I went home
and I didn't have my groceries, and I called the
guy up. His name was Jeff too, like it could
have been Jeff Bezos, who knows. And he was like,
we're not responsible for bringing your groceries home. But they
didn't give me my groceries. They just gave me like
an empty bag. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
So, Oh, I know you're blind, but you can tell
whether a bag has stuff in it or not. Right, Yeah,
And at no point when they gave you the bag,
you say this bag's empty.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, my friend she was with me. I said these
I don't think this stuff is in here. She goes, no, No,
that's everything. And we were we were towing her car.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Well was she smoking to say everything's in there if
the bag's empty.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
She's not blind, you know, she's like pretty confident.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Two.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
She has like a good job and everything. But she
was rushing me out of the store. But then I
called the guy and the guy wanted to fight me
on the phone over it.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, do you think you're going to kick his ass?
Do you think you would have taken him in the
street fight?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
I said, I told him I was going to kill
him on the phone and he says, I'm going to
call the boss and police on you. I said, go
ahead and call.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That seems like a reasonable reaction. I shouldn't say you're
going to kill someone on the phone. That seems a
personally perfectly reasonable you know what.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
The bus the police told me, I can hit people
as long as they're behind closed doors and nobody can
see them. Like they said, they just lay into them.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
But the guys really the cops, that you can hit
somebody as long as nobody sees it.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Interesting as at the HOA meeting a few months of ago,
there was like we had an HOA meeting here.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's good police work and you punch anybody you want
as long as nobody sees it. Well, you'll never see
it because you're blind, so you can really punch you
every you wane you didn't see it.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
The police that they have to actually see you. So
like if I start punching you and the police don't see, like,
there's no way and then proven unless they actually see it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
But then the person can say, well, I'm putting you
under citizens arrest, you know that kind of or cameras
you need proof though.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Yeah, but if there's no cameras, then you just play
into them, you.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's how that's great. I could just go over and
punch somebody. That's good advice.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Yeah, yeah, you let them have about it. I'm not
going to men's prison now. I'm not gonna be like
you're listeners, I'm not, so I have to tell myself,
I'm not going to men's prison because you don't want
to go to men's prison right now, not somebody like no.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
No, you would definitely not do well. Well, you'd be
very popular, but I don't think you want to go well.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It depends what you're looking for, you know.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Laverna has this corporal punishment thing. Remember she says people
need to go to prison to like clean up or
whatever that angered people like amongst them.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, she's a shock jock man. She does not understand
the customer.
Speaker 6 (31:20):

of baseball. Who's got the leverage in this positional standoff?
(00:26):
Rafael Devers doesn't want to play DH he wants to
only play third base. Who's got the leverage? Devers or
the Red Sox? Also, what does Mike Trout changing positions
from centerfield to right field and Anaheim signal to you?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
What does it signify to you? We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And one Soto and Aaron Judge are at loggerheads over
who's got a better chance to win between the Mets

Speaker 2 (00:56):
All of that and more. Right now here it is
our number four. Have a wonderful Tuesday. We're gonna call
it bullheaded in Boston is what we're gonna call it.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben
(01:17):
Mathers Show.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We are in the air eywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Squirming as we stare off into space, coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and fashionably
powerful microphones of fsre ammating live from the corners, all
four corners of the world. We're broadcasting live from the
(01:45):
tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Tyrack
the way tire buying shoould be. I know the Salsas
are a big believer in the number ten thousand, So
(02:06):
I lead this. We're gonna change it up and we
go where the stories take us. And really good baseball content.
No games. There's actually a spring training game on Thursday.
You know, spring training begins on Thursday. The Dodgers and
the Cubs play on Thursday. That's the first spring training
game a couple of days away. Well, more spring drama
(02:27):
to fill up the content plate here content Kitty Dateline,
Grapefruit League Spring Training Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The big news over the last couple of days is.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The fallout from cheating as one two one thousand hole
Alex Bregman, who has landed with the socks so Bregman
the big pick up there. The Red Sox had a
victory lap news conference the other day, and the other
shoe has now dropped. The other shoe was now dropped.
(03:00):
If you have not heard yet, Red Sox star forever
slugger Rafael Devers rejected, rejected the very thought that he
would be willing to change positions and leave the hot
corner at Finnway to become a designated hitter to accommodate
(03:23):
the Red Sox edition of the cheater Alex Bregman. And
he used an interpreter for some of this. But listen
to the response by Rafael Devers about the idea of
leaving third base.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So are you saying if they ask you, the DH
won't do no?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That was him? Can you expand on a Michael, I
played third? I play third. There you go, so we
didn't even need an interpreter.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I played third, all right, So let us discuss the
question who has the leverage? Who has the leverage here
in this positional standoff, Rafael Devers or the Red Sox.
So I've got Levi's five oh one jeans concession speech
(04:12):
and fire breathing dragons, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some
garlic fries. Watch some baseball, get little garlic fry action.
That's the way to go. So my first thought here
the arrow is pointing, believe it or not, the direction
(04:32):
of Rafael difference. Now that there was a time that
the team always had the advantage, not the player. But
that time is long gone. Like a house by the
side of the road.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It is a gone gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone gone.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Here's why the Red Sox ownership gave away Mookie Betts
to the Dodgers. They didn't want to pay Xander Bogarts,
and so they finally they pay aid Rafael Devers. They
paid him the big money. They gave him the forever contract,
and so he is a made man. He's got him
by the base balls. As they say. Devers is locked up,
(05:13):
if my math is correct, for another ten years and
over three hundred million dollars on his contract. So meanwhile,
you've got the former cheating as trow Alex Bregman, who
has one of those pillow contracts where he's only really
(05:34):
in Boston for one year if he plays well, he'll leave.
If he plays poorly, he'll stay. It's one of those deals.
He'll opt out every Year's got an opt out. So
he's not really committed to the rest lucts. Now the
wild part of the story, which is great because in
this player empowerment era where the employer does not have
the empowerment.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
In twenty twenty four, if my.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Math is corrected, Rafael Devers was the worst defensive third
baseman by three major metric He was the worst third baseman,
not just in the American League, in all of baseball,
And if you go back longer, just in the American League,
which plausibly is where the Red Sox play their games
most of the time, Rafael Devers is the worst defensive
(06:15):
third baseman in terms of errors over the last seven years,
seven straight years.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
We used to have this guy called name the Boston Hater,
and he would talk about Rick.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Burrelson, butter fingers Burrelson, Well, how about butter fingers butter
fingers Devers here, And yet he wants no part of
being a glorified pinchater, being a designated hitter. And so
what we have here is a soft standoff.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's not your typical old school standoff because in the
olden days, back before players were making hundreds of millions dollars. Well,
you just won't play, then, I don't care. We'll sit
you down if you don't. You want to listen to us.
We're the We're the ones that are in charge, but
not anymore so. Dever's the way I look at this
from thirty thousand feet is Rafael Devers is double dog daring,
(07:06):
double dog daring John Henry and the ownership group to
trade him double dog dairy.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I'm not beginning.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm not dh I'm a third baseman. You paid me
to play third base. I'm not gonna go over and
be a designated theor. And he knows, Rafael Devers that
he is wearing Levi's five oh one jeans. He's got
the pants on in the old relationship there and the
real fun is going to begin though, once we get
into the baseball season, when Alex Bregman is kicking baseballs
(07:39):
at second base right and left, while Rafael Devers is
booting balls over at third base and you've got Edward
scissors hands at third and second base, the Red Sox
will not be good because they will have terrible defense
at both positions. And then what do you do?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Want to play anywhere other You don't want to be
a DH Devers, Bregman would love to go back to
third base because there's more money there than in second base.
And so here you go, all right. Now, Secondly, we
pivot away from the Red Sox. We go all the
way across the country to spring training in Arizona, where
at one point the face of baseball is now a
(08:23):
diminished asset.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We're talking about Mike Trout.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What does the news out that Mike Trout is changing positions?
Unlike Rafael Devers, Mike Trout will no longer be an
everyday center fielder in Major League Baseball Circle twenty twenty five.
Those days are over, now rare and appropriate. Trout will
occasionally play center field, but he is now the right
(08:45):
fielder at the Big A, the Angels moving him to
right field in Anaheim. What does that signify to you?
So to me, that signifies a hole, a sinkhole which
Mike Trout has fallen down in and he is throwing
in the sponge. He is conceding. Now, this is like
(09:07):
a politician that has lost the election. He is giving
a concession speech. Mike Trout, He's doing the walk of shame,
is what he's doing. Here is the center field is
where the star goes. Right field is where the guy
that's not that fast anymore and slowing down and just
a shell of what he had been goes.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And that's Mike Trout.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And the Angels, along with Trout, are both admitting what
we've all known for a long time that because Trout
cannot stay healthy, he is a net negative. And so
this becomes a salvage and recovery mission for what's left
of Mike Trout in his career, which financially has many
years left on his contract with the Angels.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But they're just doing this to preserve his.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Body, because his body is like that of Kawhi Leonard
or Anthony Davis, or pick your favorite athlete that can't
stay on the f or the court. So trying to
squeeze more juice out of the orange, trying to get
a little more juice out of the orange. Now, Major
League Baseball's probed the news service major League Baseball Network.
(10:12):
They released their annual list of the Top one hundred
Top one hundred players earlier this month. And Mike Trout
came in at number thirty nine. How the Mighty have
fallen the lowest Mike Trout has ever been ranked on
that arbitrary list, and considering how damaged Mike Trout has
(10:34):
been for many many years here, he's missed like four
hundred games or something like that in recent years, a.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Weird surprise that he was even that high.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
In fact, Trout played just twenty nine games last season
before he had snap crackle pop pop up and had
a torn meniscus in his left knee. So just twenty
nine games last year for Mike Trout, but he's missed
over four hundred right around that number here in recent years.
Now the fun we now go back over to the
(11:02):
American League and National League, a hybrid story involving the
Mets and the Yankees in the in the Bronx and
in Queens, but really in Florida for the Grapefruit League.
And that is where Juan Soto said he's not going
to be that guy, even though he's getting seven hundred
and sixty five million dollars. But Juan Soto signed with
the Metropolitans in when he signed that contract, he said
(11:25):
a couple months back that he believed that the Mets
gave him the best opportunity to win. They put him
in a position to win there better than the Yankees, right,
So his former teammate, Yankee captain El Capitan, Aaron Judge,
was asked about that, and do you think Aaron Judge
agreed with jan Soda the Mets give him a better
(11:47):
chance to win or disagreed or said no comment. Well, shockingly,
if you pick door number two, you're right. Yes, Aaron
Judge disagrees with Juan Soto and that thought process, saying, quote,
that's his opinion. We can say, he can say rather
what he wants. I definitely disagree with him, Aaron Judge
(12:09):
told reporters. So you've got one Soto on one side
of the aisle, You've got Aaron Judge on the other
side of the aisle. They're at loggerheads over who's got
a better chance to win, the Mets or the Yankees.
Whose side are you on? You make the call. I
love that you make the call. So I'm on the
(12:29):
side of Aaron Judge on this. I'm on the side
of the Yanks, and I don't think the Yankees know
what they're doing. And they've got issues, but I just
don't trust the Mets. I don't both these cats are
obviously biased with their opinion. They're both making ridiculous amounts
of money to play baseball. But the Yankees I have
ahead of the Mets for a couple of reasons here,
(12:50):
mainly location.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Location looks well. They're both in New York.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
But the Yankees playing the American League East, and while
Baltimore has a good regular season team, they've turned out
to be frauds in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
The Red Sox are.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Kind of trying. Toronto's a hot mess. You go by
the division, you go team by team in the division here,
you're like, well, it's not really all that great. It's
not that great a division. But ultimately that's obviously right now.
We're doing the show today. We're not worried about two
years from now or three years from now. But ultimately,
at some point down the Wild Blue Yonder Road, you're
(13:31):
going to face the drawbridge which has been pulled back,
and there'll be a moat surrounding the castle. Surrounded in
that moat will be fire breathing dragons that will be
swimming around there. The dragons will be wearing Onesies with
the Dodger logo on them. See that's the problem. At
(13:54):
least the Yankees can get to the World Series and
then melt down again the Mighty Dodgers. The Mets have
to beat the Dodgers to get to the World Series,
but they have to also worry about in their own division,
the Atlanta Braves if they ever stay healthy again, and
the Philadelphia Phillies if they you know, if sinbutts were
(14:15):
candy and nuts. But if the Philadelphia Phillies actually live
up to their hype offensively in the playoffs, good luck.
So that's a tougher road for the Atlanta Braves, just
getting PI Philly in Atlanta, and then also the Dodgers
in the National League, and then whoever wins the American
League pennant in the World Series. It is the Ben
malshow I did love the video the bus drivers sent
(14:37):
out the Roberto used to work on the show. He
sent video from Yankee spring training camp of Garrett Cole
covering first base and a spring training drill, which is
just so great because if only Garrett Cole had chosen
to cover first base in the World Series, maybe things
would have been different. But Garrett Cole was too big
of Prima Donna to cover first base in Game five
(14:58):
of the World Series and couldn't be bobbed to do that,
couldn't be bothered to hustle, But he did hustle in
spring training.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Isn't that nice? Yankee fans.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yes, Garrett Cole, your highest paid pitcher hustling in spring training.

Let's see, can't read that?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
DJ Smith Patrick in San Diego writes and he says,
Benjamin talking baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is the best. Benjamin, it's all about ball. It's all
about ball.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Timothy writes in from Parts Unknown, he says Raphael Devers
should changed his first name to just Ralph, because that's
what he's doing up chucking balls on the daily.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
He hits the ball well fielding.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Can I see your ball, sir, I'd like to see.
They don't pay him to field the ball. They pay
him to hit the ball. The top defensive player in
baseball does not get paid unless they hit.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It's the way baseball is.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Hello to Mike the Leprechaun, who is up next in the.

hundred That was amazing?

why do you just drive the motor? Drive the motor
came around the dayton That's like something I would do.
I want to drive around the Daytona five hundred track
one hundred thousand people and that's funny.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah, that was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Harder and touch your hardy and toucher they.
Speaker 1 (22:08):

second dead if you watch them back.
Speaker 4 (22:24):

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Okay, I shouldn't have said that, but I have a joke.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I finally thinkured out what's wrong with Ben Mallord's brains?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Do you want to know?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Nobody? Nobody?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Does anyone want to know?
Speaker 8 (22:39):
Not?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
On the left?
Speaker 6 (22:40):
On the left?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Let me you're interrupted. On the left side, nothing is right.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
On the left side, nothing is right, and on the
right side nothing is left.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You'll get into wolves.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Really is that? When does one get to what? How
old are you?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
By the way, I'm more than sixty?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Oh yeah, all right, so if i'm too, well, what
are you exactly? All right? Well, thank you, mister leprekhn
All right, I'm gonna hang up on you. Go away,
I know, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, Ryan in main wrights and says, hey, Ben, there's
optimism surrounding the Red Sox around here in New England.
What's wrong with these idiots? Been the curse of Mookie
bets lives strong people. Yeah, that was pretty bad transaction.
That was Luka doncik like where you just gave away
your top player.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's what nobody said.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Mookie was fat though, and the Red Sox traded and
they just didn't want to pay him. And he's already
won two World Series with the Dodgers and he's got
another forever amount of time left on the contract and
all that.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Well, wild story.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The big boozer of the day, The big boozer of
the day that goes to Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
This guy, Ben Cleveland is.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
His name, but he place for a team in Baltimore,
Ben Cleveland, so he didn't see the story. You know,
I know the guys get duys all the time. Shouldn't
drink it drive, especially in the uber age. But you know,
boys will be boys and not the brightest sometimes. And
so the offensive lineman, Ben Cleveland, enjoys a couple of
(24:22):
drinks now and again, thank you sir, have another. Yeah,
he was arrested recently for DUI. This happened. Teams had
the story and he blew a staggering point one seven
to eight with the breathalyzer that was administered. Now we've
(24:42):
done a little bit of malor math on this. He
is listed a lot he's like three hundred and sixty pounds.
So if you do the math on this, they estimate
on the charts, and the charts are aren't as acurate,
but like one hundred and thirty pound man would have
to drink six beers and one hour to blow a
one point one seventy five.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But this guy's three hundred and sixty pounds, So.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That would mean he would have to drink in one hour,
approximately seventeen beers in one hour, top seventeen beers. However,
there is a conspiracy theory that is making the rounds
that if he instead of drinking beer, drank a fifth
of one hundred proof whiskey, Wow, that that would have
(25:31):
been very similar. So he could have drank twenty six
point six ounces of one hundred proof whiskey and that's
twelve point eight ounces of alcohol, So that would be
about where he's at. This guy, I mean going for it. Yeah,
you're gonna go drinking. That's next level. How can you
even drink that much? Well, I'm guessing that's not his
(25:52):
first time at the bar. I'm thinking he's even doing
that for a minute or two.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's not his first trip to go to the big house.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, yeah, I mean they sobered him up and then
he's got to have to This doesn't cost you twenty thousands?
Has the price gone up if you get a DUI?
I thought it was like twenty thousand. You gotta pay
lawyer fees, get your license restate. It depends what state
you are. In some states, like in Arizona, I think
you go to jail for that, because that's extreme. DUI,
I don't know that. I think this happened in uh
(26:23):
I thines. I read Georgia, I remember correctly.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, it was in.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Milldeville, Georgia, bald Baldwin County, Baldwin County.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
That's a lot about Let's say he in fact, he
drinks so much alcohol. I think he's qualified to call
this show. I think he's qualified to call the show.
Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Jed
who fled? Who's walking around the swamps of Florida. Hello,
Jed who fled?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Man?
Speaker 7 (26:54):
I love you. I'm gonna be honest. I'm stating on
the toilet. I'm not going number one or two or three.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
I just want to look at the show. The timing
is excellent. Uh, you know, I mean, I'm echoing. It's
it's well earned by now I'm taking a bit malor
thinking about what wiping my eddie Garcia and then and then,
you know, if I get constipated, I'll explore that off
Fox Sports Radio. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Why? Why are you on the toilet?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Definitely not to your nates for defecate, not road ridges?
Speaker 2 (27:21):

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh you needed a place to sit down to do
what you're doing? I got you.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
I think I have good I'm trying to find a
place where I can have like the random entertaining and
we yet useful thoughts. I've not yet found a place
where I can become the thinker. So I'm in here.
Come I've become the stinker.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, well that's great. Well you found a place. Congratulations,
I'm still there, dude.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I love you so much. It's unbelievable that I admitted
to being on the bathroom. I'm a toilet with it.
Seconds of here, I'm still in the air. America is
great on only on the outside.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Can you can you flush the toilet to make sure
you're not lying? Can we can we have you flush
the TOI.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
You know, being it's like having fans here. I got
the fart fan going. So I'm constantly giving autographs and
it's amazing all the time, like a constant custard, like
the fervor of my of my Papa Ross.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I understand, all right, I don't I don't want to interrupt.
I don't want to interrupt.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You're very busy there on the commode and the throne,
and you're doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I don't want to bother you.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
But I'm saying, okay, all.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Right, go away now, Blinds the hold any hang up
on him?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Blind Scott is next on the north end of Boston.
Hello Blind Scott.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Then you know what happened. I got kick out of
this convenience store earlier. I went in there and I
was like, can somebody help me find some self his
energy drinks in And the guy goes, I'm busy, and
I started asking some customers and the guy goes, you're
gonna leave my store now, because he said I would
making fun of him, judging him because his English was
really really bad, you know. And then I went the
(28:52):
Whole Foods over the weekend, like a similar thing happened.
I bought all my groceries and then I went home
and I didn't have my groceries, and I called the
guy up. His name was Jeff too, like it could
have been Jeff Bezos, who knows. And he was like,
we're not responsible for bringing your groceries home. But they
didn't give me my groceries. They just gave me like
an empty bag. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
So, Oh, I know you're blind, but you can tell
whether a bag has stuff in it or not. Right, Yeah,
And at no point when they gave you the bag,
you say this bag's empty.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, my friend she was with me. I said these
I don't think this stuff is in here. She goes, no, No,
that's everything. And we were we were towing her car.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Well was she smoking to say everything's in there if
the bag's empty.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
She's not blind, you know, she's like pretty confident.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Two.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
She has like a good job and everything. But she
was rushing me out of the store. But then I
called the guy and the guy wanted to fight me
on the phone over it.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, do you think you're going to kick his ass?
Do you think you would have taken him in the
street fight?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
I said, I told him I was going to kill
him on the phone and he says, I'm going to
call the boss and police on you. I said, go
ahead and call.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That seems like a reasonable reaction. I shouldn't say you're
going to kill someone on the phone. That seems a
personally perfectly reasonable you know what.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
The bus the police told me, I can hit people
as long as they're behind closed doors and nobody can
see them. Like they said, they just lay into them.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
But the guys really the cops, that you can hit
somebody as long as nobody sees it.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Interesting as at the HOA meeting a few months of ago,
there was like we had an HOA meeting here.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's good police work and you punch anybody you want
as long as nobody sees it. Well, you'll never see
it because you're blind, so you can really punch you
every you wane you didn't see it.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
The police that they have to actually see you. So
like if I start punching you and the police don't see, like,
there's no way and then proven unless they actually see it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
But then the person can say, well, I'm putting you
under citizens arrest, you know that kind of or cameras
you need proof though.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Yeah, but if there's no cameras, then you just play
into them, you.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's how that's great. I could just go over and
punch somebody. That's good advice.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Yeah, yeah, you let them have about it. I'm not
going to men's prison now. I'm not gonna be like
you're listeners, I'm not, so I have to tell myself,
I'm not going to men's prison because you don't want
to go to men's prison right now, not somebody like no.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
No, you would definitely not do well. Well, you'd be
very popular, but I don't think you want to go well.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It depends what you're looking for, you know.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Laverna has this corporal punishment thing. Remember she says people
need to go to prison to like clean up or
whatever that angered people like amongst them.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, she's a shock jock man. She does not understand
the customer.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Hardy he's in Puerto Rico right now. Morning guy Fred's
