(00:49):
Dodger Lee the Giants right now two to one, Dodgers
batting in the bottom of the third inning. They have
been linked with one of many players more the trade deadline.
Rose Arena the biggest name today linked with the Dodgers.
I'm sorry Frostburg. Hey, Randy rose Arena, what's his E
r A this year? I'm sorry I didn't hear you.
(01:10):
I was ordering my Cowboy boots. Okay, sorry, Yeah, what's
what is? E ra A is good this year? Rose
Orina is having a good year pitching. So do you
go aside small or bigger? I never got a pair.
I think you had to go a little bit bigger.
But if he joins the Dodgers, I'm all in.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Okay, all right, because the other is I mean Lewis Robert,
I mean, who's been photoshopping every uniform?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
What the first thing I'm gonna do? What's that after
your Dodger's take? I'm gonna kick you in the shin
with it? Let's go. Is that a forward kick with
the steel toe or getting sward? Is he getting a
spur in from the from a back kick? That's bone
shodding forward? All right? I got uh so yeah, the
(01:52):
Dodgers need pitching, so it makes sense they are linked
with hey poll okay, the long road, I mean the
back end of the line of shows coming back, hitting
that coming back. But like Kurshall, looks like Sutton is
coming back. Did you see that picture yesterday with him? Brad,
Paisley and Shatner? The hell they do to shatter? He said,
they look like he's seventy again. Eric Kanye is coming back,
(02:14):
coming back. We're all coming back, dude.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
You have the Red Sox sweeping them, Come on, dude, yeah,
I cursed the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I really screwed them, man, I really did you know,
my big I think you just underestimated how good the
Dodgers are. One of my big second half predictions for
the MLB season, Red Sox will be your surprise division
winners in the Al East. And so far the Yankees
and Orioles are cooperating, not playing well, having all kinds
of problems. But boy, the Red Sox go out loose
first four games out of the Breadkins. Oh okay, so yeah,
(02:47):
m that not exactly what I had in mind with
that prediction. Well, it's funny. I went to the Central.
I'm like, the Royals are gonna be on the coup
now I had. I looked at the schedule that they
were playing the White Sox to start the second half.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No, I did not.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
No, but eight and two in their last ten and
Bobby Whitton Junior a guy. Suddenly people are raising their
eybebrow going this guy's pretty damn good. We have to
pay attention to something in Kansas City again.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
But yeah, just you. You cursed the red side.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I did. That's my fault, which but I means you
also then helped the Yankees. No, I think you've seen
the Yankees. They have not been helped at all. Mets
beat him tonight, we go for the season sweep tomorrow, Mets,
Me's Mets, Mets's Mets. Yeah, when my dad gets back.
My dad what did is he's doing his one of
(03:33):
his twice yearly vacations and all his friends in Syracuse.
That Yeah, he went back and I told him, you know,
we went to the airport early this morning he landed
because he was worried because he was flying Delta, and
I was like, oh, hopefully you get there, dag with that.
Good luck. When he got there, everything was fine, and
I said, hey, good luck, and have fun watching the game.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Ten.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He goes, thanks, and I go and by good luck,
I mean I hope you get your ass kicked. You're right.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
After he did, he go over to Cooperstown and and
start yelling at Adrian Beltray or anybody.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
No, no, no, Cooperstown is not on his uh on
his wish list anymore. Yeah, it's like a Yankee shrine.
I know. But he's been there so many times. He's like,
literally a Yankee museum. Yeah, my dad, but I would
rather sit around and eat cony dogs and and and
and uh go hang out with his friends and try
to play golf. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
For for those that may want to go to Cooperstown
and been thinking about it next year, get your hotel
reservations now, because they're saying people are already booking from
Japan because the Intro is going in and Delta might
still be flying.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yeah, tough about this. How many rooms did you buy?
And are you gonna lease out twelve?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That you know of this big NFL headflying from today
is really not about well, let me just say it
all right, so easy as if I just say it.
My life tells me this all the time. When when
you have news to talk about, you have bad news,
just say it. Don't try to sugarcoat it, just say it.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I'm like, okay, but a spoonful of sugar helps the
medicine go try she tries, let medicine go down.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
She was just saying a sandwich, just saying, don't don't
don't try to soften the blow, just say it. I'm like, okay,
here's some more chocolate. Jason let the medicine go down.
Hassan Reddick is holding out from the New York jest
day the least he didn't retire like Shack Barrett. Their
big off season acquisition, and the Jets let two big
(05:25):
time defensive linemen go because they were able to obtain
Hassan Reddick is one of the best defensive linemen in
the game. They were banking on him to get to
the quarterback thirty years old and he's still an elite
pass rusher. Look, you're talking about one of the top
three defenses in the game getting one of the best playmakers.
The Jets make this trade, and Reddick was made available
(05:46):
by the Eagles because well, he wants a new contract.
The Eagles didn't want to give it to him, and
the Jets say that Reddick was very comfortable with coming
to the Jets and playing a season figuring out a
deal after that. It was comfortable the situation. That's why
the Jets made the trade. Now, whether something has happened
to change his mind on that or he lied, he's
(06:09):
not coming to the Jets. He didn't go to any
of the offseason events, nothing, and he's not reporting to
camp because he wants a new contract. So now here
are the Jets. Because Jets doing Jets things. This is
their big time offseason acquisition and they obtained him, and
now they haven't even gotten into the building once yet
because he wants a new deal. Now, whether the Jets,
(06:31):
this is on the Jets, which I really want to
blame the Jets, because this is a typical Jets thing. Now,
maybe Reddick saw some deals come out and writing on
the wall for some other players and said, no, I'm
going to get paid now, and I've changed my mind.
That clearly could have happened. But you gave up a
lot to go get this guy, and now you blew it.
However it is, it doesn't matter if Reddick lied to
(06:51):
because you're the ones that said we're comfortable making this
move and you blew it. And now suddenly you lost
two really good players off. Let John Franklin Myers go,
You've lost he, let Bryce Huff go to the Eagles
and replace him with a son Reddick. You've let these
guys go, and now the guy that you're going to
bring in is not even with it, and who knows
what kind of seasons he's gonna have because if he
(07:13):
doesn't come to camp, you know he's gonna eventually get here,
rush himself into shape. He's gonna get hurt, he's not
gonna have an impact year, and he's not gonna get
a big contract next year. We all know this because
this is how it goes when players will hold out.
So I say this, and of course this actually is
about Aaron Rodgers, because there is nobody under more pressure
(07:36):
this year in the NFL than Rogers. Right, He's looking
at the end of my career, the end of being relevant.
If I'm not good, people aren't gonna listen to my
crazy ass conspiracy theories if I go fourteen touchdowns and
twenty four picks and still listen. He knows that he's
looking at what could be Every year could be the
last year of his career. You talk about that pressure,
(07:58):
now throw on top of it. Oh, by the way,
you don't just have to bail out the Packers, which
you have done a pretty good job bringing players in,
staying relevant over the last few years, winning a Super
Bowl every ten years or so. No, you got to
bail out the Jets, who can't get out of their
own way. The Jets are saying, cover up all our
ills because Joe Douglas is a GM whiffs as much
as he succeeds. Robert sala is not a great head coach.
(08:21):
We've seen this, I've talked about it. You are not
only saying, hey, I gotta save myself and make sure
I'm still making money and being a quarterback next year,
but you're asking me to save a franchise that can't
put one foot in front of the other. And there
is nobody with more pressure on him than Aaron Rodgers.
Because this is gonna be Hey, boy, the son reddick
deal Boy, that sucked. That was stupid. The Jets stink.
(08:42):
But you know what, if eight is great and Aaron
Rodgers fantastic, it doesn't matter, none of it. None of
that matters. If your quarterback is great, none of that matters.
That's why the pressure on him more than anybody else
in the NFL and now, and I feel bad because
he's being asked to carry franchise again. They can't shoot
straight that that has things like this happened to them
(09:04):
all the bleep in time. We traded for a guy
and we can't even get him into the building. And
now we have to worry about giving him money a
contract and figure something out. And it's bad. But Aaron
Rodgers will batl us out of this. You're the guy.
Everything will be okay as long as eight is good all.
It's like when you when you upsetack, you turn over
a log and you see all the ants everything crawling around. Boy,
you just look like a log. Log was fine. I'm
(09:25):
sitting on the log about front. You turn it over.
You see the worms, you see the roly Pulley bugs,
you see the ants going down. Well, look at all
the stuff going I don't want to see. That's disgusting.
And you turn the log back over. Aaron Rodgers is
the bark side of the log. I'm gonna cover up
all this crazy ass stuff that's going on underneath the log.
And that's what you're asking him to do this year.
Cover up all that crazy ass stuff, Aaron, cover it up,
(09:46):
dark side of the moon, bark side of the log.
I like that. Sometimes you also pull that up and
there's something waiting to sting you. Be it a score
ready to bite your ass. But you know what, put
your hand in that log. It's kind of dark. See
if there's anything in there? Oh sure, that's I can
flash Gordon. Maybe you'll pull out a Robin's egg. Oh,
(10:07):
that would be wonderful, Nember, the thing that that spiked
them in Flash Gordon, going all the way back to
the classic in nineteen eighty. But yeah, the bark of
the log I like that. But bark at the bark
side of the log all right, bark side of the logo.
(10:28):
I'd say.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The only other guy that's up there in terms of expectations,
and we talked about yesterday, is Harbaugh. What he's done
to Lamar Jackson. He's got to be the greatest of
all time. Two MVPs, whatever else, playoff failures, however much
you put on him, say Flowers, and hanging on to
the football, abandoning the run game that had been such
(10:49):
a hallmark of your existence low those many years. All
of those things come together. But yeah, for your Jets,
they've got under six million dollars of cap space according
to over the Cap right now. So good luck in
terms of a financial bailout to find a guy that
can come in. Who knows, maybe Shaq Barrett wants to
(11:10):
be a Jet.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh, Michael Gallup, why not all guys who are retired?
You know, can he rush the passer?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I mean, hey, it feels weird to see Gallup's name
as Raiders wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I mean, was it a Raiders wide receiver?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
But yeah, for this particular move, it's it's been just
dating in silence in the background, because it's all been
about all the oxygen has been about number eight.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Where was he? Why wasn't he here? Famously your coach
sala talking about the unexcused absence, and then Rogers as
soon as he got sat now with Barstool, got all
pissy and started playing his word games and semantics. Well,
what really is a camp? What is a mandatory camp?
Let's talk about this, this moving line of what they
(11:54):
want to call. I mean, I was there for a
bunch of the days, but those are the days that
they decided were the important one. But like a bunch
of nonsense. But he takes up all the oxtion. So
the reddick thing has just been sitting out there, hiding
in plain sight this entire time, and I think we've
broached it two or three times of Hey, you have
a defense that is really positioned to be a real
(12:16):
trouble in e loaded AFC. Provided he was there to
help up front and instead now and that all gets
torn a sunk. And here's the sucky part. He wants
to get paid again. He's not gonna get paid again.
If he has a bad year. He's gonna hold out
as long as he can. Then he's gonna come in
whatever it's going to be, ten week eleven, and what's
and what's gonna happen. He's not gonna play well because
(12:37):
he's not in football shape, and no one's gonna give
him money next year, and he's gonna say, boy, I
screwed myself. I thought I could maybe screwed, but maybe
the Jets are so desperate I want to get paid.
I feel like I should be getting this. You know
what you're all you're doing is because that's how it's
gonna go. But that's how it's gonna get.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
You know, going back to your Aaron Rodgers and punditry like,
even if this is a spectacular failure and this is
the end, whether he gets hurt, whether he just sucks
and the Jets stink, Sala gets fired and they blow
this whole thing up, people are still gonna listen to him.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Did you not see the reaction for the jackassery of
Gilbert Arenus. Yeah, but and what Antonio Brown still gets
in terms of drafficking. But as many people is like
Aaron Rodgers, there's a lot of people that want to
see him fail. Sure, and if that and if he's terrible,
it's gonna be that he's gonna take a hit, But
not as many people are gonna listen.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
That's a lot of weight on his shoulders for a
guy who could barely run holding a flag.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That is. I know one thing. They won't give him
the flag to run out with opening weekness And I
will say this hopefully.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know, I Lebron James doesn't have to do any
running on that boat on Friday.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Take an ice cream, run out with an ice cream,
something lighter than that flag. And you do know hasan
reddicks never showing up. Ah, he's good, He's gonna he's not.
He wants to get his eighteen million from this year.
This year he's got to get something. He'll show up
and it will be bad. He'll be bad. It won't
work out for the Jets. It's gonna suck for everybody.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
So the Jets offered him a contract when he traded
for him.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
He declined and they still traded for him. Yeah, Jet's
gonna Jet Yo.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
By the way, you see how he's really going full
on attacking the Jets just because the Mets win one
stoopid game against the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Mets, Mets, We've won three games against the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And then Mary comes back over the top three like
a sledgehammer, exit out out of Fresco Exit Swelling Dome.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Nobody with more pressure than Aaron Rodgers coming up next,
the last time we're gonna get to talk to a
huge MLB insider before the deadline. Who's gonna make the
big moves? Is gonna be the Dodgers, the Yankees? More?

You know how what you hate? Cooma? Yes, and you
gotta you know that's your bathroom and snack song. Coma's
a bad song.

I'm out.
Speaker 1 (16:49):

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Longer than Your Paradise City coma is a horrible song,
but it keeps progressing. This we singing take Me down
to the Paradise City nine hundred thousand times down the end.
Happy Birthday to Slash. Oh you know, I actually have
a funny story about repeated lyrics in the song coming
up right, but joining us now on the hotline, nobody
(17:22):
better to talk to? One week from the MLB trade deadline?
Are the Dodgers really in on Randia Rose Arena? Are
the Yankees in on somebody besides JD. Davis? Who could
hit fourth? Are the Mets gonna run away with a
wild card?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Nobody better than MLB Network Inside? Are extraordinaire Fox Sports
Radio MLB Inside or extraordinaire co host of the Morning
show Sternsy and the Pope? It is the Pope, John
Paul Morosi. He's on Twitter at John Morosi. What's happening, buddy?
How are you good? Eating?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
My friends? This is our second to last conversation before
the trade deadline. Exactly one week from right now, we're
going to be in full on trade deadline alert mode.
And right now we are merely setting the board. And
I just cannot wait to see what happens.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
All right, now, first let's start here. Because I am
a kind and gentle like Xerxes in the Three Others,
I am a kind of general hoist. I understand the
big stories. The Yankees tonight trotted out JD. Davis to
hit fourth for that tonight. I mean, this is John Paul.
This is one of those look in the mirror moments
where somehow there's still seventeen games over five hundred. I gets.
(18:37):
I get the U have Anthony Rizzo is hurt and
Stanton has hurt, but you are hitting JD. Davis, who
the A's didn't want fourth, Like, really, what are you
doing at this point if you're the Yankees a week
before the deadline?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Well, it's a great question. And this is why I
think the twenty twenty four trade deadline might be one
of the best that I've ever covered. And here's why.
Because you have teams that know they're going to the
playoffs more than likely, like the Yankees and the Dodgers.
I would put in that same category the Orioles two
(19:11):
who have flaws. So you have got some teams that
are looking at themselves and saying, we need to swing
for the fences here with a trade, because you're right,
the Yankees know they're going to be in October, but
they know that as they're currently constructed, they're not going
to play many games in October. And I realized to
your point, yet it's a lefty righting matchup with Kington
(19:34):
on the mound. You stack as many writings as you can,
But I would agree that in a serious Subway series
game like this, with the attention of the entire baseball
world on New York City, JD. Davis probably is not
the person you would expect to see batting clean up
against the Mets in the situation like this, and it
speaks to a team that is flawed right now in
(19:57):
terms of the way that their lineup is constructed. They
need some serious upgrades and help. And the tough part
about it is the number of players who I think
are good fits for the Yankees here. He sucked for
that is with Tampa Bay. You're really hard to get
him in division. Ryan McMahon with Colorado love him, but
(20:19):
you're never really sure if the Rockies are actually gonna
make some selling type moves. In a profound way, the
Yankees have a need for something that is not exactly
bountiful on the open market, which I think is going
to be a huge storyline between now and a week
from tonight when they all have to do all those shopping.
They've got to get it done, and I just am
(20:40):
not sure how Brian Cashman is going to make this happen.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Now on the shopping list. Obviously, we're located here in
Los Angeles, and I'll ask the question for Frostburg and
all those Dodger fans, Randy and Rose Arena now has
photoshopped in a lot of Instagram posts that I've seen
in my timeline.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Japie, He's been that. Yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So you got a bunch of that. And then it's
a lot of wishing and hoping that suddenly all these
arms get healthy. Although I got to say Kershaw looked
pretty yoked at the stadium yesterday hanging out with Shatner.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So how likely is a Rose Arena? Is that just
wishless fools gold? And how aggressive will the Dodgers be
here in the next week.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
It's interesting. I do think a Rose Arraina fits them,
but I would caution and say he's not their a
number one priority as I see it. They still need
some more pitching. River Ryan had a great start last night,
really encouraging Kershaw's coming back. You look at the rest
of the rotation glass now. They expect to come back soon,
(21:42):
but they're still at least one starting pitcher short. I've
mentioned the stab before about fifteen straight postseason games in
which their starter didn't get it out in the sixth inning.
They need some more length from their rotation. I love Kershaw.
He's going to the Hall of Fame. I was just
a Cooper cent over the weekend. I'm not sure where
(22:03):
his plaque exactly is going to hang in the Hall,
but it will be there and he's going to be there.
But I just don't know if he's going to be
able to get you tick innings in the playoff game.
It's just it's not been his his track record in
recent years. And so with all the variability there in
that rotation guys, I think they should prioritize pitching first,
(22:26):
and then if you can find a way to get
a Rose Arena, great, But I would I would much
rather acquire the difference making arm and and then believe
that that the way that this lineup is set up
Tahe certainly has done a lot Asker and his has
been tremendous. Yeah, I'd love to add a righty bat,
but a rose Arena might be pretty expensive for them
(22:47):
to do that. And I unless unless the acquisition cost
is lower than I expected to be, in which case
sure out of way. I just think that they've got
other priorities.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Now, speaking of low cost, John Paul lost his first
game tonight. Will that make it easier for the Mets
to get him in a week?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
It may, It may, it may. No list of pop
games proves tonight that he's mortal. But but Jason, I
believe if you actually checked the the the overall line
score for mister Skens, it was still eight and a third. Yeah,
two earned run, no walks, eight strikeouts. I would venture
(23:29):
to say that when you were when you're pitching line
is that most of the time you're winning, especially when
said performance drops your e R down to one point
nine to three. I mean, we've been a special.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
We've not seen this John Paul since Strasburg Mania, Like
it's been that where it's it's the same type of
thing as it was And and and I gotta say
I think skis is even more impressive because Strawsburd was
about strikeouts and he had his ups and downs, but
the overall desire every fifth day, okay, it's a Strassburg
day is the same thing. It's a skeen's day. Everything
(24:04):
the skeen's day. Let's see what has he got, what's happening.
It's a skeen's day.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I agree, And people historically around the game, they're comparing
it to to Mark Fedrich when he first came on
the scene, and what a what a national phenomenon he was.
Now I'm not sure if Skeens will be on the
cover of Sports Illustrated with with with Big Bird, I
mean that, but but that that of course was part
of the Fidrich's profile back in those days.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But well I didn't. We'll put him in Livy Done
on the cover of Sports Illustrated. I think that's you.
I think I see you won Big Bird, and I
raise you one, Livy Done.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
That that could happen. Media media has changed a bit,
but that that may that may be a winning prediction
on your part. That's well done. I think that with Skeens,
I agree that his ability to be in the zone
makes pitches, get out in different ways and just dominate,
(25:03):
it seems like. And again he took lots tonight, but
in a lot of instances, there are a lot of
at bats where I'm just seeing hitters who are overwhelmed,
and you don't often see major league hitters overwhelmed, especially
by a rookie. I mean, he just is on another
level from the rest of the of the rookies that
(25:25):
we've seen coming to this league in a long time.
And I agree, I think that it is every bit
of Strasbourg, and I believe, and let's hope obviously from
the standpoint of health, that he's able to go out
there a fifth day and keep that routine going. He
just seems to really have the physicality and the delivery
that make you believe and I say this with a
(25:47):
high degree of hope that'll be able to sustain this,
hopefully longer than Strasbourg did.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So JP Tonight was supposed to be the big reintroduction
of a would be legend talking about being in Cooperstown
and a guy that you know waiting on the enshrinement
just adding the extra stats.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
That's Mike Trout. Two winnings, Soornee leaves the rehab game.
Now it's day to day is how they term it.
Is he done? Is this it?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah? I don't know, and certainly yeah, I wasn't at
the ballpark tonight to see it. He was obviously in
Salt Lake. But it's it's concerning and and this is
where it's quite literally Mike, as you're describing what's happened,
if it wasn't one thing, it was the other, and
and it wasn't even the ailment that he's come up
(26:37):
with tonight wasn't even necessarily exactly what it was that
sent him to the IEL the first place. So it's
a it's now a different concern. I I'm worried. I
don't know what the future holds here, but but it's
not good for the game. And when one of our
most recognizable stars just can't can't stay in the field,
(26:58):
and and it's it's not Mike's fault, it's I think
it's just it seems to be just the run of
luck that he's had or health that's just kind of
gone away, because for a long time he was so durable,
and now it's obviously not been the case at all
the last the last couple of years, and to me
it's it's also disappointing too, because if he had been
(27:21):
able to put together a healthy twenty three twenty four
and really had that as a catapult, he might we
might right now be talking about him as being a
trade candidate without the abilities, or maybe maybe even the Dodgers.
It might be kind of an extreme case, but he
might be going to a team that's got a chance
to do something in October. But if you've got a
(27:43):
contract like this and you can't stay on the field,
it's just not possible. So it's more than anything. You know,
I'm a broadcaster from a journalist. I want to try
to figure out what's going on this time year, But
as a human who loves the game, I'm just because
to your point, it's difficult to draw many other conclusions
(28:04):
here other than to say that with each Patsy day
of him not being healthy and back to me and himself,
we get further and further away from Kok Mike Trout
and closer to the realization that he he might not
ever fully get back to that all star level.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I look at it this way, John Paul, is that
here the conversation. Now, boy, how much of the Dodgers
risk pitching show Heyo Tani with as valuable as he
is hitting, and I look, okay, eventually he's going to
pitch again. You're giving a lot of money, I say,
But I look at the same thing from Mike Trout.
If you're the Angels, you should have gotten to the
point maybe sometime last year. Maybe you're a full time
(28:44):
DH maybe you're absolutely a full I'm sorry, but your
days of playing the field are over, and we can't
risk that because that's the big wear and tear. And
if we can keep you in the lineup for one
hundred and thirty hundred and forty games of year as
a designated dinner, okay, that's what we're gonna do. And
if you can't play ending a center field, that's kind
of what needs to happen here. And I'm surprised that
that's not been something that has brought up before that, Hey,
(29:07):
you know what, your days in the field kind of
have to end right now.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I think that they're probably if he can't get back
fully this year in the second half, or if he
can at least routinely play in the outfield, there's really
it becomes a very natural conversation, and I compare him
to think back to another Hall of Famer in Frank Thomas,
who just increasingly but by the time he got to
(29:32):
his mid thirties, that was his role. He was a
DH And guess what, that's great if it keeps your
bat in the lineup. Obviously, he wasn't healthy in five
when the White Sox won it, but he did still
have some better years after that with Oakland Toronto. There
are ways to stay relevant and to keep yourself in
(29:53):
the lineup, and the game needs him on the field.
I care much more that Mike Trout is playing and
act than I do that I see him running around
the outfield now he might feel differently. And I do
think that Mike is a very proud athlete who has
wanted to play center field and be right in the
middle of it and have it all. But I think
(30:13):
that his body might be telling him something different right now.
And that's where I just think it's it's a sad
night in the game that that that that as we
were getting our hopes up, they're dashed again and it's
a tough stuff going to the Angels. But cernity for
the game overall, he's on.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John Morosi. John
Paul is always buddy, appreciate your time. We'll talk to
you as things break, maybe maybe two three times before. Yes,
you never know you.

Speaker 8 (31:12):
Man, Look if it's as active as he seems to
think it'll be, because now it's shorting out time right
which teams, uh, you know are having those hard conversations
after tonight's game, It's like, so.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Where are we on the pendulum? Sellers, buyers or just
ride the lightning? Coming up next we get back into
the NFL, because, believe it or not, And this is

Speaker 1 (32:18):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon,
Happy Birthday, slash Hey, look out. So we got to
talk about a haircut. Yeah, gotta talk about a haircut.
Making a lot of headlines today. Joe Burrow showing up
to camp with the Cincinnati Bengals and he's got a
(32:41):
new haircut and it's very slim, shady esque. You had
it looking like very Cody Road, very Cody Road. Second,
what it's more than a haircut, because it's blonde, and
there were pictures of him from the Vogue Paris fashion
show last week where his hair was still somewhat brown
and it was long, and it was okay, here's here
he is. And now he's shown up with it. It's
(33:03):
all shorn and it's it's really tight and it's blonde. Yeah.
Is he going full on forgot about dre kind of mode?
Is that what he's doing?
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Because everybody's talking mahomes and now it's c J. Stroud
and all these other young bucks. Not that Burrow is
a thirty five year veteran, but hey, forgot about me.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Doctor Grey's dead. He's in my basement.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You know My favorite reaction to this is, oh, Joe
Burrow means business because of this haircut. Well what haircut? Now,
isn't that one of the characters? Yeah, they got to
look at like Homelander and yeah, not do you want
to be compared to? But I'm like, hey, he means business.
(33:46):
You see the haircut, the long hair, no, no, no,
but short hair, Oh, he means I want I think
the Bengals are going to the Super Bowl because Joe
Burrow has short hair, short hair, he means business.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
And the blonde hair that he's he's taken on this
alternate identity. Remember, I'm still salty at Bengals fans from
years ago that it took everything not to start screaming
at them as they walked away blissfully la la la
la la after losing to the Rams, like you may.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Never get back here. It is not a we were
happy to have had this run. No one the journeys
sucked if it ended this way. It is not a
long haired freaking Look how serious he is now? Oh,
I like Joe got a haircut from the fifties, Like
he's hanging out. And what was that movie with Toby
maguire Spider Man. No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(34:39):
bles plead Spider Man, Spider Man. No, let me give
you the truth about Joe Burrow. All right. Joe Burrow
did this because he likes the attention.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's something that's not been said about bro. Look how
good he is. Yes, he's like Joe Montana. Yes, one
hundred percent decision he makes with the football when he's
on the field, he's a superstar. Can he stay healthy?
That's it. All of that is true. But Joe Burrow
is a very big look at me guy, very calculated.
He just doesn't do it out and out. Hey, I
(35:14):
want the attention. He's one of those matter of fact
look at me guys, like I know if I get
a new haircut, people are gonna talk about it. We'll
go back to the photo op. Yeah, there's nobody anywhere
near where his feet are. It's like a perfect I'm
leaning back on this couch smoking a cigar and that's
one of the earliest memories you have him, like dominating
(35:35):
his college year and boom. He doesn't actively seek the limelight.
He lives his life knowing that people are gonna say
stuff about me, and he likes that because it's all
positive stuff. It's stuff like a haircut and stuff like
look at him in the fact. As we talked about,
he was in Paris for fashion week with Vogue. Lass
got the back of his shirt. This is cut. Did
he forget it or was that an artistic choice? It's
(35:56):
a terrible artistic choice. I'll thought you should go. I'll
back on your I think it would be wonderful just
wear that instead. Look at that.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
It's a lot less shirt material. Here's the shirt you're
gonna wear. Why have they blown off the back.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
I got a haircut. People will talk. I don't have
to do anything like that's he's not. He's not like
players who everywhere you look, they are constantly doing things
to say, look at me. He's a look at me guy.
But he's like, I'm cool and I know you're gonna
look at you, know what I mean? That's what that like?
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Hawk from Cobra Kai giant spike haircut. My favorite show man.
But I don't know if he'd be business.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
He's not.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
He's not all business. He's got he's got gen streak
to a mohawk. Man, Jason, I'm pretty sure a mullet
means business.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
You tell me the last, Well, it's business only up
front the Oh never mind, Mary, Mary, this is up
front party in the had to fire there business up
front party in the back. Joe brah lichwi is why
they call him Joe cool? He is. He's just as
big a look at me guy as so many other
(37:06):
people are, except he's like, you'll come to me on this. Oh,
it's a picture of me. I got a haircut, Okay, Hi,
smile for the camera. I don't need to do anything else. Hey, look,
we'll talk.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
As long as he stays healthy, uh, you know, beyond
four or five games, everybody will look at him again
because the Bengals have a great roster in theory.
Speaker 1 (37:24):

Dodger Lee the Giants right now two to one, Dodgers
batting in the bottom of the third inning. They have
been linked with one of many players more the trade deadline.
Rose Arena the biggest name today linked with the Dodgers.
I'm sorry Frostburg. Hey, Randy rose Arena, what's his E
r A this year? I'm sorry I didn't hear you.
(01:10):
I was ordering my Cowboy boots. Okay, sorry, Yeah, what's
what is? E ra A is good this year? Rose
Orina is having a good year pitching. So do you
go aside small or bigger? I never got a pair.
I think you had to go a little bit bigger.
But if he joins the Dodgers, I'm all in.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Okay, all right, because the other is I mean Lewis Robert,
I mean, who's been photoshopping every uniform?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
What the first thing I'm gonna do? What's that after
your Dodger's take? I'm gonna kick you in the shin
with it? Let's go. Is that a forward kick with
the steel toe or getting sward? Is he getting a
spur in from the from a back kick? That's bone
shodding forward? All right? I got uh so yeah, the
(01:52):
Dodgers need pitching, so it makes sense they are linked
with hey poll okay, the long road, I mean the
back end of the line of shows coming back, hitting
that coming back. But like Kurshall, looks like Sutton is
coming back. Did you see that picture yesterday with him? Brad,
Paisley and Shatner? The hell they do to shatter? He said,
they look like he's seventy again. Eric Kanye is coming back,
(02:14):
coming back. We're all coming back, dude.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
You have the Red Sox sweeping them, Come on, dude, yeah,
I cursed the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I really screwed them, man, I really did you know,
my big I think you just underestimated how good the
Dodgers are. One of my big second half predictions for
the MLB season, Red Sox will be your surprise division
winners in the Al East. And so far the Yankees
and Orioles are cooperating, not playing well, having all kinds
of problems. But boy, the Red Sox go out loose
first four games out of the Breadkins. Oh okay, so yeah,
(02:47):
m that not exactly what I had in mind with
that prediction. Well, it's funny. I went to the Central.
I'm like, the Royals are gonna be on the coup
now I had. I looked at the schedule that they
were playing the White Sox to start the second half.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No, I did not.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
No, but eight and two in their last ten and
Bobby Whitton Junior a guy. Suddenly people are raising their
eybebrow going this guy's pretty damn good. We have to
pay attention to something in Kansas City again.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
But yeah, just you. You cursed the red side.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I did. That's my fault, which but I means you
also then helped the Yankees. No, I think you've seen
the Yankees. They have not been helped at all. Mets
beat him tonight, we go for the season sweep tomorrow, Mets,
Me's Mets, Mets's Mets. Yeah, when my dad gets back.
My dad what did is he's doing his one of
(03:33):
his twice yearly vacations and all his friends in Syracuse.
That Yeah, he went back and I told him, you know,
we went to the airport early this morning he landed
because he was worried because he was flying Delta, and
I was like, oh, hopefully you get there, dag with that.
Good luck. When he got there, everything was fine, and
I said, hey, good luck, and have fun watching the game.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Ten.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He goes, thanks, and I go and by good luck,
I mean I hope you get your ass kicked. You're right.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
After he did, he go over to Cooperstown and and
start yelling at Adrian Beltray or anybody.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
No, no, no, Cooperstown is not on his uh on
his wish list anymore. Yeah, it's like a Yankee shrine.
I know. But he's been there so many times. He's like,
literally a Yankee museum. Yeah, my dad, but I would
rather sit around and eat cony dogs and and and
and uh go hang out with his friends and try
to play golf. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
For for those that may want to go to Cooperstown
and been thinking about it next year, get your hotel
reservations now, because they're saying people are already booking from
Japan because the Intro is going in and Delta might
still be flying.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yeah, tough about this. How many rooms did you buy?
And are you gonna lease out twelve?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That you know of this big NFL headflying from today
is really not about well, let me just say it
all right, so easy as if I just say it.
My life tells me this all the time. When when
you have news to talk about, you have bad news,
just say it. Don't try to sugarcoat it, just say it.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I'm like, okay, but a spoonful of sugar helps the
medicine go try she tries, let medicine go down.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
She was just saying a sandwich, just saying, don't don't
don't try to soften the blow, just say it. I'm like, okay,
here's some more chocolate. Jason let the medicine go down.
Hassan Reddick is holding out from the New York jest
day the least he didn't retire like Shack Barrett. Their
big off season acquisition, and the Jets let two big
(05:25):
time defensive linemen go because they were able to obtain
Hassan Reddick is one of the best defensive linemen in
the game. They were banking on him to get to
the quarterback thirty years old and he's still an elite
pass rusher. Look, you're talking about one of the top
three defenses in the game getting one of the best playmakers.
The Jets make this trade, and Reddick was made available
(05:46):
by the Eagles because well, he wants a new contract.
The Eagles didn't want to give it to him, and
the Jets say that Reddick was very comfortable with coming
to the Jets and playing a season figuring out a
deal after that. It was comfortable the situation. That's why
the Jets made the trade. Now, whether something has happened
to change his mind on that or he lied, he's
(06:09):
not coming to the Jets. He didn't go to any
of the offseason events, nothing, and he's not reporting to
camp because he wants a new contract. So now here
are the Jets. Because Jets doing Jets things. This is
their big time offseason acquisition and they obtained him, and
now they haven't even gotten into the building once yet
because he wants a new deal. Now, whether the Jets,
(06:31):
this is on the Jets, which I really want to
blame the Jets, because this is a typical Jets thing. Now,
maybe Reddick saw some deals come out and writing on
the wall for some other players and said, no, I'm
going to get paid now, and I've changed my mind.
That clearly could have happened. But you gave up a
lot to go get this guy, and now you blew it.
However it is, it doesn't matter if Reddick lied to
(06:51):
because you're the ones that said we're comfortable making this
move and you blew it. And now suddenly you lost
two really good players off. Let John Franklin Myers go,
You've lost he, let Bryce Huff go to the Eagles
and replace him with a son Reddick. You've let these
guys go, and now the guy that you're going to
bring in is not even with it, and who knows
what kind of seasons he's gonna have because if he
(07:13):
doesn't come to camp, you know he's gonna eventually get here,
rush himself into shape. He's gonna get hurt, he's not
gonna have an impact year, and he's not gonna get
a big contract next year. We all know this because
this is how it goes when players will hold out.
So I say this, and of course this actually is
about Aaron Rodgers, because there is nobody under more pressure
(07:36):
this year in the NFL than Rogers. Right, He's looking
at the end of my career, the end of being relevant.
If I'm not good, people aren't gonna listen to my
crazy ass conspiracy theories if I go fourteen touchdowns and
twenty four picks and still listen. He knows that he's
looking at what could be Every year could be the
last year of his career. You talk about that pressure,
(07:58):
now throw on top of it. Oh, by the way,
you don't just have to bail out the Packers, which
you have done a pretty good job bringing players in,
staying relevant over the last few years, winning a Super
Bowl every ten years or so. No, you got to
bail out the Jets, who can't get out of their
own way. The Jets are saying, cover up all our
ills because Joe Douglas is a GM whiffs as much
as he succeeds. Robert sala is not a great head coach.
(08:21):
We've seen this, I've talked about it. You are not
only saying, hey, I gotta save myself and make sure
I'm still making money and being a quarterback next year,
but you're asking me to save a franchise that can't
put one foot in front of the other. And there
is nobody with more pressure on him than Aaron Rodgers.
Because this is gonna be Hey, boy, the son reddick
deal Boy, that sucked. That was stupid. The Jets stink.
(08:42):
But you know what, if eight is great and Aaron
Rodgers fantastic, it doesn't matter, none of it. None of
that matters. If your quarterback is great, none of that matters.
That's why the pressure on him more than anybody else
in the NFL and now, and I feel bad because
he's being asked to carry franchise again. They can't shoot
straight that that has things like this happened to them
(09:04):
all the bleep in time. We traded for a guy
and we can't even get him into the building. And
now we have to worry about giving him money a
contract and figure something out. And it's bad. But Aaron
Rodgers will batl us out of this. You're the guy.
Everything will be okay as long as eight is good all.
It's like when you when you upsetack, you turn over
a log and you see all the ants everything crawling around. Boy,
you just look like a log. Log was fine. I'm
(09:25):
sitting on the log about front. You turn it over.
You see the worms, you see the roly Pulley bugs,
you see the ants going down. Well, look at all
the stuff going I don't want to see. That's disgusting.
And you turn the log back over. Aaron Rodgers is
the bark side of the log. I'm gonna cover up
all this crazy ass stuff that's going on underneath the log.
And that's what you're asking him to do this year.
Cover up all that crazy ass stuff, Aaron, cover it up,
(09:46):
dark side of the moon, bark side of the log.
I like that. Sometimes you also pull that up and
there's something waiting to sting you. Be it a score
ready to bite your ass. But you know what, put
your hand in that log. It's kind of dark. See
if there's anything in there? Oh sure, that's I can
flash Gordon. Maybe you'll pull out a Robin's egg. Oh,
(10:07):
that would be wonderful, Nember, the thing that that spiked
them in Flash Gordon, going all the way back to
the classic in nineteen eighty. But yeah, the bark of
the log I like that. But bark at the bark
side of the log all right, bark side of the logo.
(10:28):
I'd say.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The only other guy that's up there in terms of expectations,
and we talked about yesterday, is Harbaugh. What he's done
to Lamar Jackson. He's got to be the greatest of
all time. Two MVPs, whatever else, playoff failures, however much
you put on him, say Flowers, and hanging on to
the football, abandoning the run game that had been such
(10:49):
a hallmark of your existence low those many years. All
of those things come together. But yeah, for your Jets,
they've got under six million dollars of cap space according
to over the Cap right now. So good luck in
terms of a financial bailout to find a guy that
can come in. Who knows, maybe Shaq Barrett wants to
(11:10):
be a Jet.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh, Michael Gallup, why not all guys who are retired?
You know, can he rush the passer?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I mean, hey, it feels weird to see Gallup's name
as Raiders wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I mean, was it a Raiders wide receiver?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
But yeah, for this particular move, it's it's been just
dating in silence in the background, because it's all been
about all the oxygen has been about number eight.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Where was he? Why wasn't he here? Famously your coach
sala talking about the unexcused absence, and then Rogers as
soon as he got sat now with Barstool, got all
pissy and started playing his word games and semantics. Well,
what really is a camp? What is a mandatory camp?
Let's talk about this, this moving line of what they
(11:54):
want to call. I mean, I was there for a
bunch of the days, but those are the days that
they decided were the important one. But like a bunch
of nonsense. But he takes up all the oxtion. So
the reddick thing has just been sitting out there, hiding
in plain sight this entire time, and I think we've
broached it two or three times of Hey, you have
a defense that is really positioned to be a real
(12:16):
trouble in e loaded AFC. Provided he was there to
help up front and instead now and that all gets
torn a sunk. And here's the sucky part. He wants
to get paid again. He's not gonna get paid again.
If he has a bad year. He's gonna hold out
as long as he can. Then he's gonna come in
whatever it's going to be, ten week eleven, and what's
and what's gonna happen. He's not gonna play well because
(12:37):
he's not in football shape, and no one's gonna give
him money next year, and he's gonna say, boy, I
screwed myself. I thought I could maybe screwed, but maybe
the Jets are so desperate I want to get paid.
I feel like I should be getting this. You know
what you're all you're doing is because that's how it's
gonna go. But that's how it's gonna get.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
You know, going back to your Aaron Rodgers and punditry like,
even if this is a spectacular failure and this is
the end, whether he gets hurt, whether he just sucks
and the Jets stink, Sala gets fired and they blow
this whole thing up, people are still gonna listen to him.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Did you not see the reaction for the jackassery of
Gilbert Arenus. Yeah, but and what Antonio Brown still gets
in terms of drafficking. But as many people is like
Aaron Rodgers, there's a lot of people that want to
see him fail. Sure, and if that and if he's terrible,
it's gonna be that he's gonna take a hit, But
not as many people are gonna listen.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
That's a lot of weight on his shoulders for a
guy who could barely run holding a flag.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That is. I know one thing. They won't give him
the flag to run out with opening weekness And I
will say this hopefully.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know, I Lebron James doesn't have to do any
running on that boat on Friday.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Take an ice cream, run out with an ice cream,
something lighter than that flag. And you do know hasan
reddicks never showing up. Ah, he's good, He's gonna he's not.
He wants to get his eighteen million from this year.
This year he's got to get something. He'll show up
and it will be bad. He'll be bad. It won't
work out for the Jets. It's gonna suck for everybody.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
So the Jets offered him a contract when he traded
for him.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
He declined and they still traded for him. Yeah, Jet's
gonna Jet Yo.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
By the way, you see how he's really going full
on attacking the Jets just because the Mets win one
stoopid game against the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Mets, Mets, We've won three games against the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And then Mary comes back over the top three like
a sledgehammer, exit out out of Fresco Exit Swelling Dome.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Nobody with more pressure than Aaron Rodgers coming up next,
the last time we're gonna get to talk to a
huge MLB insider before the deadline. Who's gonna make the
big moves? Is gonna be the Dodgers, the Yankees? More?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
This is a big hit. This is a good song.
I like the song, Mike. Really. It goes on for

Comas what Jason goes into after a snack, Well, he

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Longer than Your Paradise City coma is a horrible song,
but it keeps progressing. This we singing take Me down
to the Paradise City nine hundred thousand times down the end.
Happy Birthday to Slash. Oh you know, I actually have
a funny story about repeated lyrics in the song coming
up right, but joining us now on the hotline, nobody
(17:22):
better to talk to? One week from the MLB trade deadline?
Are the Dodgers really in on Randia Rose Arena? Are
the Yankees in on somebody besides JD. Davis? Who could
hit fourth? Are the Mets gonna run away with a
wild card?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Nobody better than MLB Network Inside? Are extraordinaire Fox Sports
Radio MLB Inside or extraordinaire co host of the Morning
show Sternsy and the Pope? It is the Pope, John
Paul Morosi. He's on Twitter at John Morosi. What's happening, buddy?
How are you good? Eating?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
My friends? This is our second to last conversation before
the trade deadline. Exactly one week from right now, we're
going to be in full on trade deadline alert mode.
And right now we are merely setting the board. And
I just cannot wait to see what happens.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
All right, now, first let's start here. Because I am
a kind and gentle like Xerxes in the Three Others,
I am a kind of general hoist. I understand the
big stories. The Yankees tonight trotted out JD. Davis to
hit fourth for that tonight. I mean, this is John Paul.
This is one of those look in the mirror moments
where somehow there's still seventeen games over five hundred. I gets.
(18:37):
I get the U have Anthony Rizzo is hurt and
Stanton has hurt, but you are hitting JD. Davis, who
the A's didn't want fourth, Like, really, what are you
doing at this point if you're the Yankees a week
before the deadline?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Well, it's a great question. And this is why I
think the twenty twenty four trade deadline might be one
of the best that I've ever covered. And here's why.
Because you have teams that know they're going to the
playoffs more than likely, like the Yankees and the Dodgers.
I would put in that same category the Orioles two
(19:11):
who have flaws. So you have got some teams that
are looking at themselves and saying, we need to swing
for the fences here with a trade, because you're right,
the Yankees know they're going to be in October, but
they know that as they're currently constructed, they're not going
to play many games in October. And I realized to
your point, yet it's a lefty righting matchup with Kington
(19:34):
on the mound. You stack as many writings as you can,
But I would agree that in a serious Subway series
game like this, with the attention of the entire baseball
world on New York City, JD. Davis probably is not
the person you would expect to see batting clean up
against the Mets in the situation like this, and it
speaks to a team that is flawed right now in
(19:57):
terms of the way that their lineup is constructed. They
need some serious upgrades and help. And the tough part
about it is the number of players who I think
are good fits for the Yankees here. He sucked for
that is with Tampa Bay. You're really hard to get
him in division. Ryan McMahon with Colorado love him, but
(20:19):
you're never really sure if the Rockies are actually gonna
make some selling type moves. In a profound way, the
Yankees have a need for something that is not exactly
bountiful on the open market, which I think is going
to be a huge storyline between now and a week
from tonight when they all have to do all those shopping.
They've got to get it done, and I just am
(20:40):
not sure how Brian Cashman is going to make this happen.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Now on the shopping list. Obviously, we're located here in
Los Angeles, and I'll ask the question for Frostburg and
all those Dodger fans, Randy and Rose Arena now has
photoshopped in a lot of Instagram posts that I've seen
in my timeline.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Japie, He's been that. Yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So you got a bunch of that. And then it's
a lot of wishing and hoping that suddenly all these
arms get healthy. Although I got to say Kershaw looked
pretty yoked at the stadium yesterday hanging out with Shatner.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So how likely is a Rose Arena? Is that just
wishless fools gold? And how aggressive will the Dodgers be
here in the next week.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
It's interesting. I do think a Rose Arraina fits them,
but I would caution and say he's not their a
number one priority as I see it. They still need
some more pitching. River Ryan had a great start last night,
really encouraging Kershaw's coming back. You look at the rest
of the rotation glass now. They expect to come back soon,
(21:42):
but they're still at least one starting pitcher short. I've
mentioned the stab before about fifteen straight postseason games in
which their starter didn't get it out in the sixth inning.
They need some more length from their rotation. I love Kershaw.
He's going to the Hall of Fame. I was just
a Cooper cent over the weekend. I'm not sure where
(22:03):
his plaque exactly is going to hang in the Hall,
but it will be there and he's going to be there.
But I just don't know if he's going to be
able to get you tick innings in the playoff game.
It's just it's not been his his track record in
recent years. And so with all the variability there in
that rotation guys, I think they should prioritize pitching first,
(22:26):
and then if you can find a way to get
a Rose Arena, great, But I would I would much
rather acquire the difference making arm and and then believe
that that the way that this lineup is set up
Tahe certainly has done a lot Asker and his has
been tremendous. Yeah, I'd love to add a righty bat,
but a rose Arena might be pretty expensive for them
(22:47):
to do that. And I unless unless the acquisition cost
is lower than I expected to be, in which case
sure out of way. I just think that they've got
other priorities.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Now, speaking of low cost, John Paul lost his first
game tonight. Will that make it easier for the Mets
to get him in a week?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
It may, It may, it may. No list of pop
games proves tonight that he's mortal. But but Jason, I
believe if you actually checked the the the overall line
score for mister Skens, it was still eight and a third. Yeah,
two earned run, no walks, eight strikeouts. I would venture
(23:29):
to say that when you were when you're pitching line
is that most of the time you're winning, especially when
said performance drops your e R down to one point
nine to three. I mean, we've been a special.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
We've not seen this John Paul since Strasburg Mania, Like
it's been that where it's it's the same type of
thing as it was And and and I gotta say
I think skis is even more impressive because Strawsburd was
about strikeouts and he had his ups and downs, but
the overall desire every fifth day, okay, it's a Strassburg
day is the same thing. It's a skeen's day. Everything
(24:04):
the skeen's day. Let's see what has he got, what's happening.
It's a skeen's day.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I agree, And people historically around the game, they're comparing
it to to Mark Fedrich when he first came on
the scene, and what a what a national phenomenon he was.
Now I'm not sure if Skeens will be on the
cover of Sports Illustrated with with with Big Bird, I
mean that, but but that that of course was part
of the Fidrich's profile back in those days.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But well I didn't. We'll put him in Livy Done
on the cover of Sports Illustrated. I think that's you.
I think I see you won Big Bird, and I
raise you one, Livy Done.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
That that could happen. Media media has changed a bit,
but that that may that may be a winning prediction
on your part. That's well done. I think that with Skeens,
I agree that his ability to be in the zone
makes pitches, get out in different ways and just dominate,
(25:03):
it seems like. And again he took lots tonight, but
in a lot of instances, there are a lot of
at bats where I'm just seeing hitters who are overwhelmed,
and you don't often see major league hitters overwhelmed, especially
by a rookie. I mean, he just is on another
level from the rest of the of the rookies that
(25:25):
we've seen coming to this league in a long time.
And I agree, I think that it is every bit
of Strasbourg, and I believe, and let's hope obviously from
the standpoint of health, that he's able to go out
there a fifth day and keep that routine going. He
just seems to really have the physicality and the delivery
that make you believe and I say this with a
(25:47):
high degree of hope that'll be able to sustain this,
hopefully longer than Strasbourg did.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So JP Tonight was supposed to be the big reintroduction
of a would be legend talking about being in Cooperstown
and a guy that you know waiting on the enshrinement
just adding the extra stats.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
That's Mike Trout. Two winnings, Soornee leaves the rehab game.
Now it's day to day is how they term it.
Is he done? Is this it?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah? I don't know, and certainly yeah, I wasn't at
the ballpark tonight to see it. He was obviously in
Salt Lake. But it's it's concerning and and this is
where it's quite literally Mike, as you're describing what's happened,
if it wasn't one thing, it was the other, and
and it wasn't even the ailment that he's come up
(26:37):
with tonight wasn't even necessarily exactly what it was that
sent him to the IEL the first place. So it's
a it's now a different concern. I I'm worried. I
don't know what the future holds here, but but it's
not good for the game. And when one of our
most recognizable stars just can't can't stay in the field,
(26:58):
and and it's it's not Mike's fault, it's I think
it's just it seems to be just the run of
luck that he's had or health that's just kind of
gone away, because for a long time he was so durable,
and now it's obviously not been the case at all
the last the last couple of years, and to me
it's it's also disappointing too, because if he had been
(27:21):
able to put together a healthy twenty three twenty four
and really had that as a catapult, he might we
might right now be talking about him as being a
trade candidate without the abilities, or maybe maybe even the Dodgers.
It might be kind of an extreme case, but he
might be going to a team that's got a chance
to do something in October. But if you've got a
(27:43):
contract like this and you can't stay on the field,
it's just not possible. So it's more than anything. You know,
I'm a broadcaster from a journalist. I want to try
to figure out what's going on this time year, But
as a human who loves the game, I'm just because
to your point, it's difficult to draw many other conclusions
(28:04):
here other than to say that with each Patsy day
of him not being healthy and back to me and himself,
we get further and further away from Kok Mike Trout
and closer to the realization that he he might not
ever fully get back to that all star level.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I look at it this way, John Paul, is that
here the conversation. Now, boy, how much of the Dodgers
risk pitching show Heyo Tani with as valuable as he
is hitting, and I look, okay, eventually he's going to
pitch again. You're giving a lot of money, I say,
But I look at the same thing from Mike Trout.
If you're the Angels, you should have gotten to the
point maybe sometime last year. Maybe you're a full time
(28:44):
DH maybe you're absolutely a full I'm sorry, but your
days of playing the field are over, and we can't
risk that because that's the big wear and tear. And
if we can keep you in the lineup for one
hundred and thirty hundred and forty games of year as
a designated dinner, okay, that's what we're gonna do. And
if you can't play ending a center field, that's kind
of what needs to happen here. And I'm surprised that
that's not been something that has brought up before that, Hey,
(29:07):
you know what, your days in the field kind of
have to end right now.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I think that they're probably if he can't get back
fully this year in the second half, or if he
can at least routinely play in the outfield, there's really
it becomes a very natural conversation, and I compare him
to think back to another Hall of Famer in Frank Thomas,
who just increasingly but by the time he got to
(29:32):
his mid thirties, that was his role. He was a
DH And guess what, that's great if it keeps your
bat in the lineup. Obviously, he wasn't healthy in five
when the White Sox won it, but he did still
have some better years after that with Oakland Toronto. There
are ways to stay relevant and to keep yourself in
(29:53):
the lineup, and the game needs him on the field.
I care much more that Mike Trout is playing and
act than I do that I see him running around
the outfield now he might feel differently. And I do
think that Mike is a very proud athlete who has
wanted to play center field and be right in the
middle of it and have it all. But I think
(30:13):
that his body might be telling him something different right now.
And that's where I just think it's it's a sad
night in the game that that that that as we
were getting our hopes up, they're dashed again and it's
a tough stuff going to the Angels. But cernity for
the game overall, he's on.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John Morosi. John
Paul is always buddy, appreciate your time. We'll talk to
you as things break, maybe maybe two three times before. Yes,

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Where are we on the pendulum? Sellers, buyers or just
ride the lightning? Coming up next we get back into

Speaker 1 (32:18):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon,
Happy Birthday, slash Hey, look out. So we got to
talk about a haircut. Yeah, gotta talk about a haircut.
Making a lot of headlines today. Joe Burrow showing up
to camp with the Cincinnati Bengals and he's got a
(32:41):
new haircut and it's very slim, shady esque. You had
it looking like very Cody Road, very Cody Road. Second,
what it's more than a haircut, because it's blonde, and
there were pictures of him from the Vogue Paris fashion
show last week where his hair was still somewhat brown
and it was long, and it was okay, here's here
he is. And now he's shown up with it. It's
(33:03):
all shorn and it's it's really tight and it's blonde. Yeah.
Is he going full on forgot about dre kind of mode?
Is that what he's doing?
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Because everybody's talking mahomes and now it's c J. Stroud
and all these other young bucks. Not that Burrow is
a thirty five year veteran, but hey, forgot about me.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Doctor Grey's dead. He's in my basement.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You know My favorite reaction to this is, oh, Joe
Burrow means business because of this haircut. Well what haircut? Now,
isn't that one of the characters? Yeah, they got to
look at like Homelander and yeah, not do you want
to be compared to? But I'm like, hey, he means business.
(33:46):
You see the haircut, the long hair, no, no, no,
but short hair, Oh, he means I want I think
the Bengals are going to the Super Bowl because Joe
Burrow has short hair, short hair, he means business.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
And the blonde hair that he's he's taken on this
alternate identity. Remember, I'm still salty at Bengals fans from
years ago that it took everything not to start screaming
at them as they walked away blissfully la la la
la la after losing to the Rams, like you may.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Never get back here. It is not a we were
happy to have had this run. No one the journeys
sucked if it ended this way. It is not a
long haired freaking Look how serious he is now? Oh,
I like Joe got a haircut from the fifties, Like
he's hanging out. And what was that movie with Toby
maguire Spider Man. No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(34:39):
bles plead Spider Man, Spider Man. No, let me give
you the truth about Joe Burrow. All right. Joe Burrow
did this because he likes the attention.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's something that's not been said about bro. Look how
good he is. Yes, he's like Joe Montana. Yes, one
hundred percent decision he makes with the football when he's
on the field, he's a superstar. Can he stay healthy?
That's it. All of that is true. But Joe Burrow
is a very big look at me guy, very calculated.
He just doesn't do it out and out. Hey, I
(35:14):
want the attention. He's one of those matter of fact
look at me guys, like I know if I get
a new haircut, people are gonna talk about it. We'll
go back to the photo op. Yeah, there's nobody anywhere
near where his feet are. It's like a perfect I'm
leaning back on this couch smoking a cigar and that's
one of the earliest memories you have him, like dominating
(35:35):
his college year and boom. He doesn't actively seek the limelight.
He lives his life knowing that people are gonna say
stuff about me, and he likes that because it's all
positive stuff. It's stuff like a haircut and stuff like
look at him in the fact. As we talked about,
he was in Paris for fashion week with Vogue. Lass
got the back of his shirt. This is cut. Did
