Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dilly dilly, it's our dumb ber four, our four ready
to go, talking Bay's ball and the cruelest of trade
deadlines for the Red Sox. The Red Sox fans thought
they were getting an ace and they didn't. And they're
incensed with GM Craig Breslow for botching the trade deadline.

(00:21):
Do they have a case? Do they have a case?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Also?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
What stands out about Podres gm aj Preller's bold moves
at the deadline? The Podres by far the most aggressive
team in baseball? And who are the biggest winners and
losers overall? Wide angle lens on the twenty twenty five
MLB trade deadline.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We'll get to all that.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Also, don't forget big review Benny versus the Penny, only
available fifth hour podcast information on what's ahead. We'll give
you stuff we've not been able to talk about for
a long time. We now have information. We'll pass it
on to you. That's an hour, the fifth hour. But
here's our number four. Have a great weekend, the.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
One that got away, the one that got away.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
We are in.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
The air everywhere in Alliance as we are radio for
the red pilled crowd coast to coast, border to moort
and beyond on the vast and uncontrollably powerful microphones of
FSR amminating live from the bowl just a bowl.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I'd be so a reminder later this morning.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
We have this hour of live radio, but we will
save for the Fifth Hour podcast. I have to do
on the weekends here at the Sweatshop of Audio. I
do it every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so there'll be
a new episode out later today.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Try to check that out.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
We'll have the big announcement on Benny versus the Penny.
You'll find out all the information on that, so check
it out here on the Fifth Hour Podcast but our
lead this hour is from Boston fallout from the trade deadline.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
We had some theatrics. I love this story. It's a
good story. So if you didn't see this, maybe not.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
The time was ticking down right before the trade deadline,
and just before the.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Clock struck.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Midnight or in this case, six pm Eastern, the Red
Sox fans thought they were getting Joe Ryant. Now is
a pitcher and he's had a pretty good year in Minnesota,
and for roughly not one, not two, three minutes, for
three minutes, they said.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
We got him.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
From what I understand, this is from my guys that
listened to the show in the Boston area. On the
Sports Up they said, well, Ben, we were so excited
social media they were going crazy and it's like, this
is great, We've got another number two to pitch behind
the number one guy that we got last year.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
So anyway, apparently.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
The Fox Sports social media account and the Yahoo social
media account both posted that the Red Sox had.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Acquired Joe Ryan.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah twin starter American League All Star Joe Ryan, legitimate
big time rotation piece. Boom Red Sox got him, and
then from Boom to poof Abra Cadabra hocus pocus gone
post deleted turned out.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
To be a false alarm. There will be no Joe
Ryan in Mudville.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Boston instead made a trade for Trevor May, Dodger trash,
Trevor May, and they got some cardinal trash. If they
didn't like the Dodger trash, they got Steven Motts, who's
been stealing money in baseball for years and not getting
many people out. So, based on the feedback that some
of you guys have sent me here, the natives are restless,

(04:42):
boots on the ground, they're not happy.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
So let us discuss. I just love the.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Fact that this got sent out and there were several
minutes where people are, oh, we got this guy. So
to lead off here all right and get the party started.
The question red Sox fans incensed with g Craig Breslow.
That's the guy that's in charge for batching the trade deadline.

(05:06):
Do they have a case? Do they have a case?
So I've got my take on this. I've got WiFi,
vitamin shop, and Sleeping Beauty, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna make some delicious
crispy chicken tiketos with the little cheese in there.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Man, that sounds good, all right.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
So my first thought on this, Craig Breslow is running
the Red Sox just like the last GM of the
Red Sox, high am Bloom, running that team like they're
the Cincinnati Reds. It is a big market team with
a passion for baseball that has a very small market mindset.
So it's obvious at moments like this, you've got a

(05:48):
chance here to make a splash. I look, every night
I'm watching baseball, I don't see anyone that I have
much confidence in to run the gauntlet in the American
League playoff. It's wide open, wide open, right. You look
out on the on the countryside and it's wide open.
And what do you do. You're the big bad Red

(06:09):
Sox and you you say, Okay, what's on the discount
rack for the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I'll bring in a bullpen arm that hasn't been relevant
from the Cardinals since aol messenger was still being used.
It's it's all smoke and mirrors and it's a whole
lot of nothing.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's a whole lot of nothing.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
But the part of the story, which is great is
the mass trolling that took place.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Right did the deadline for the Red Sox.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
It turned out to be as as useful as a
wet fart, all right, right in the middle of a bonfire,
and pathetic.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I mean, the Twins were trading.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Everyone, they were going out of business to the Minnesota Twins,
and you still could not get the deal done. So
what apparently happened is John Morosi who famously reported that
Shoheo Tani's plane was on its way to Toronto seely
that he was gonna sign with And I like John Rossi, whatever,
but we all we all get it wrong every once

(07:05):
in a while. But John Morossi reported that, oh well,
they actually made a late effort the Red Sox for
Joe Ryan and that got.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
A whoopedy damn do is what that got?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
So ownership, I'm imagining they will tell you, well, you know,
we were in on every conversation, because that's what all
these teams do, whether it's the Red Sox or this
year the Dodgers didn't do much. But he seems all
they all say the same thing. They have the same playbook.
It's like, well we tried, you know, we made offers.
We made legitimate offers and it takes two to tango.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, effort, we made an effort. Effort is like WiFi.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
It's invisible until you connect to the Wi Fi and
then you have a visible outcome. Otherwise, who cares if
there's Wi Fi if you're not connected to it because
you don't have the password. My results are the receipt
You're not getting Brownie points for participation.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
So Joe Ryan would have.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Been a franchise altering edition, would have put the Red
Sox right at the top of the big board.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Instead, it's the same old, same old, and you ended.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Up with a cosplay version of Carrot Top in Trevor May.
So you should be upset if you care about the team,
because they this tells you that they're not all in there.
You're not a big market team. Now we turn the page,
because there is a big market team in San Diego.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now, when I worked in San Diego, I got my
starting radio in San Diego. The argument they always made
when I go to those Padre games, they said, well,
we're just we're limited.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
We're boxed in. San Diego's boxed in because to the
North is La and there's hardly any room for growth.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
In the LA market because they've got two baseball teams.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
If you go to the to the east, well you've
got a lot desert. If you go to the west,
you've got the Pacific Ocean, and if you go south,
you've got Mexico.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
So you're boxed in in San Diego. It's not a
lot there. Well, you wouldn't know it the way they're acting.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
The antithesis of the Red Sox, that would be the
Pod squad who traded not one, not two, not three,
not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight,
not nine.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
How about by Mike count ten.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Top thirty prospects in the pipeline for a gaggle of
big league players led by the A's closer Mason Miller
and Oriole first baseman Ryan O'Hearn among those among.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Those that were involved. So what stands out?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
What stands out about this hole of players the podre
GM AJ Peller Preller rather acquired AJ Preller the GM
there with the Padres his bold trade deadline deals, what
stands out? So my first thought on this is AJ
Preler showed up to work for the trade deadline and.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Said take my farm. I want blood. I need blood,
and he got it.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Seven new players on the big league roster, one third
of the Podre roster turned over.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
That is not just futzing around and tinkering.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
That is a full on man cave renovation, is what
that is, right, That's Neon lights, that's a new refrigerator,
the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
You even put a urinal in.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
There, because that's a real man cave. And you put
the Dodger logo right in the urinal. And I think
they even added a resort style pool, which is pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Now, by no means am I a Podre fan. I
am not. However, I love this. I freaking love it
when teams do that.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is what I want all of my teams to do,
and you should want all your teams to do. Big Cajones.
Now ownership has to sign off on it. Aj Prelar,
though I know where he shops. He shops at Vitamin
Shop and he takes supplements called Victory dust and Championship
Bark and he eats them. He's got vim and Vigor prospects,

(11:23):
which are a pet peeve of mind. As you may
or may not know, depending on how often you listen
to the gas baggery in these parts. But I have
said for many, many years that prospects are a renewable resource.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
In twenty twenty six, this can blow your mind.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
There will be more players that are going to be
drafted by the Padre, there will be more international signings
by the Padre, and Major League Baseball's Pipeline, which is
one of the great scams of our time, will release
another list of the top thirty prospects for the San
Diego Padres. You can always restock the system. It's like

(12:02):
I like em and m's and I don't want to
I don't want to give up my M and ms. Well, no,
you can buy eminems anywhere, so eat them, enjoy them,
and you can go buy more. The minor league system
is a device to enhance the big league roster and
teams like the Red Sox who are afraid to trade

(12:24):
those guys, or heck, the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
This year, we're afraid to trade many of those guys.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
It's embarrassing right now. For San Diego, it's not about
making the playoffs. They've been a playoff team. This is
about toppling the Mighty Dodgers. Slaying the big Blue Dragon
is what it is, and more gms.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Should want to do this. I am Benny bright side
of this.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
You think fans get hyped up because oh we got
an eighteen year old catcher in single A.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
No, that's not real. You want a blowtorch. You want
the chaos is what you want.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
And you also would like to put a roster out
there that says we showed up to the party because
we want to win, right, we want to drink champagne
and tequila. And you know what, we're all out of tequila,
so we need more and preler the gem in San Diego. Listen,
he might crash and burn. And these guys could show
up to San Diego and eat too many fish tacos

(13:25):
and end up, you know, drowning somewhere out in not
literally drowning, but their careers at home plate on the
mountain drowning.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Right, And so that's fine if that happens. You went
for it.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
You did all that you could do, and I love it.
So the Gem of the Padre is magnificent. He's a
lunatic for doing this. You got my attention, Bravo. It's
not for the fan of heart, it's not, and it's
for the gms. That have chest on their hair, and
they they've got bullpen arms they want want to get

(14:00):
that have rocket launchers and all that.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
And that's what you do, all right, last thing quick, right?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
So who were the biggest winners and losers of the
twenty twenty five trade deadline? So I go to the
Mallor report card. The Mallor report card pass fail. Mallor
report card pass fail. So the Padres are the big wieners, clearly.
The Seattle Mariners with Janio Suarez, they did well. Now

(14:33):
I'm gonna give them a passing grade. These other teams,
I don't know that they were a grades. But the
Yankees and the Mets. The Yankees got a much coveted
relief pitcher named David Bednar from the Pirates because they suck.
He's got nasty stuff. And they got some roster filler
Ahmed Rosario.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
People like that.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Those guys usually play pretty well in the playoffs. And
the Mets they had to improve the bullpen. They got
the submarine reliever Taylor Rogers got him.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Said Mullins from the Orioles.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
The teams that get a failing grade the Sacramento A's
for the never ending revolving Do who think of the
number one Podrey prospect? Oh my god, yeah, who gives
a rats ass? I'll tell you why that guy could
turn out to be great for the A's, the shortstop
prospect they got in Sacramento. And in three years, if

(15:25):
he's good, we'll be sitting here post trade deadline and
he'll be traded. Because it's a clearing house. They develop players.
It's like having a minor league team in the major
leagues of the athletics, and as soon as they're good,
you offload them, You get rid of them, You start
the process. It's a circle of baseball. You start the
process over. How about a team that got a failing grade.

(15:47):
We mentioned them earlier, so I will just mention them briefly.
The as Rows picked up the washed up Carlos Carrea.
The washed up Carlos Carrea, don't let a falling start
falling you. And how about the Minnesota Twins. They held
a liquidation sale, one of the most embarrassing moments, some

(16:08):
have said the worst ever, worst ever trade deadline in
modern baseball history. Of the Minnesota Twins, who dismantled their roster.
They traded nine players. Nine players off the twenty six
man big league roster. The entire high leverage bullpen has gone.
They've all been dispersed around baseball, and it's like, well,

(16:31):
I'm gonna sell Mike Bentley and I don't need any money.
Just give me some scratcher tickets, maybe one of those
of work. And I also had on the loser big board.
I had the Giants for a month. I was there
with the day they picked up Rafael Devers from the
Red Sox, and they were going around like a rooster.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
The Giants. They had their chest out, Oh yeah, we're
in it to win it. We're here, this team's legit,
and here we are.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
They started plucking away at their roster, dumping a zilvery
players and even.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Some key relief pitchers. It's like they were.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Working the Chucky Cheese prize counter and it's like, here's
an eraser for you, here's a pencil for you.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Here's one of those little plastic balls for you.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
And how about the Dodgers GM Andrew Freeman, who was
playing the role of sleeping beauty at the trade deadline,
issued a vote of no confidence.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
That's the way those works. If the front office.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Believes in the product, believes it's a championship team.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
You trade and add players. If you don't, you stand pat.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
And for the most part, the Dodgers are they stood
pat and typically they don't do that. They're they're usually aggressive,
sleeping beauty.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Though.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
They added a journeyman outfielder who's got that natitude and
that's it. He's like a platoon backup outfielder. The bullpen's
been leaking, the starting pitchers or mister softies, they're hurt
all the time. And I am I'm going to assume
the position that Michael Conforto will not be released today.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
He should be.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
And so there's a guy that needs some dynavite, Michael
Conforto because he's a dog.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
My god. How about the Tigers?

Speaker 1 (18:12):
They also very conservative, the Detroit Tigers do they not believe?
They did add some players, but nothing really popped for me.
And I'm the one that matters, clearly, I don't matter.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
We'll screw you, all right. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

But he says he's gonna try to make when we

Speaker 7 (21:55):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
He's a snob, he says, I don't like driving you.
I want to I want to fly to Vegas.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Whatever you do, you big lou you do you knock
yourself out now, Matt Jack's upset that I kept calling
Dustin May Trevor May.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
But that was a Freudian slip. You know, all those
Mays are the same, and if.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
You if you know what I mean, all those Mays
are the same.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
We have some funny audio. I gotta play this before
I forget.

Speaker 5 (22:20):
So.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
I remember years ago the National Championship game in college football.
Alabama was not playing very well and Nick Saban at
halftime decided I'm gonna change quarterbacks. This was big moment there.

(22:40):
We gotta we gotta go with to a tongue of
I looa right, I gotta bring him in here.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
And of course we were like, who's that? How do
you pronounce that guy's name? I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
So Jalen Hurts, who's now won a Super Bowl, was
benched for to a tongue of hello. And I remember
coming on the radio after that game, shortly after the game,
and I was like, holy crap. Like I was watching
the game, I was like, I don't know how to
pronounce this guy's name. Well, I now present I have
something in common with the President of the United States.
Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Listen to this.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
This is President Trump and he tries to pronounce the
name of the Miami Dolphins quarterback and it did not
go so well for the commander in chief.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Take a list.

Speaker 8 (23:22):
Akwan Barkley was on the council and to uh tag
oh Vallia. Really, he's been fantastic, he's been sure here
when he's not injured, he's great.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
He's gotta when he's not play it again. This is
this is great. We should use this as a drop
when we talk about the Dolphins. But this is hilarious.
Listen to this.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
Clay was on the council and to h tag oh Vallia.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
You think they must have tried to spell it phonetically, right,
they must have whoever had that on the paper.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
They like, that's why he said it.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Like, that's hilarious when they try to put the A
with the Yeah, I mean, I mean, just that's how
his name is like spelled.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
I played again. I want to hear it again. The
Dolphin quarterback.

Speaker 8 (24:16):
Here Barkley was on the council and to uh tag
oh volley a.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Quarterback. Yeah, you're right, that is that's it without the phonetic.
I guess they didn't. Somebody did him dirty. They didn't
put the panetic spelling. But tagle veola is that what
he said? Loa loa.

Speaker 8 (24:38):
On the council and to uh tag oh vall ya.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
That's great, it's so good.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
All right, let's take some because I know what that's like. Man,
there's some names, and we get these freaking names. You
got to pronounce something like, oh, I don't want to
say that person's nightmare.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
I might have to say that name.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
All right, let's go to the phones. They'll say hello
to any meenie, miney moe.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I don't know. I got an old board here.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Let's go to Andrea. She's still there, Andrea in Berkeley. Hello, Andrea, welcome.
The Astrology Insider is with us.

Speaker 9 (25:23):
Yes, hi, Ben, how are you?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
If I was any.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Better, I would be a twin, but not a Minnesota
twin because they sucked.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
I was interesting the trade deadline and mercury retrograde in
some last minute trades. And what I found most interesting
was that, you know, you know Miller, the one the
Ascent trade was born August twenty fourth, nineteen ninety eight.

(25:52):
Remember I was talking about his chart yesterday on your show.
And sometimes sometimes you don't want to be right because
you're on a square sun a period of significant change
and disruptions, and off he goes getting Uh, well, it
is not a bad thing.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
He's going to a better team. San Diego is a
great place to live. It's beautiful. That's the only professional
sports team in San Diego. And you can hang out
at the beach in the morning and then go play
baseball at night.

Speaker 9 (26:21):
That's not bad, no, But you know he was you know,
Miller time. There was a whole mystique with him with
the A's But yeah, I know, San Diego is nice.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
And uh, you know, I don't think you like San Diego.
I think that's what this is. And Andrew, I think
you're like you want him. You wanted him to stay
with the athletics.

Speaker 9 (26:39):
You're an a man I liked, and he was really
the great relief pitcher and it was always fun to
have Miller time. But you know, that's life. And then
Lear's Yaz, he makes a great catch yesterday.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
And what happened to him? Where's he going now? Let's
see Kansas City.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
That means that means he can have the Ben Mallard
chick fingers at the Landing and Liberty whenever he wants
his batting average. His batting average is going to go up.
He'll have the mouth or fingers for lunch every day.
You can get them delivered on door dash.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
How great is that that can work?

Speaker 9 (27:12):
I guess he's August twenty third, nineteen ninety so same,
you're on a square Sun transit, and you know this
is interesting in Carlos, Korea, this is very strange. He's
September twenty second, nineteen ninety four, is thirty, so he's
having his satur return, which is ending. Is a new beginning,

(27:33):
so he's having a new beginning where he once had
an ending.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yes, yes, he's on the on the move there, and
I know he's excited to see what kind of cheating
stuff they'll come up with now when he gets there.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
So hopefully they'll have some good stuff. Maybe they'll use
AI to cheat. Now they can they can update because
it was well twenty seventeen.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
They use trash cans very rudimentary and buzzers and things
like that, so they can change it.

Speaker 9 (27:56):
Up. You know, I always remember your voice going, you know,
the cheating as true.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
That's right, that's right, Yes, that's right. We've we're still
