Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome in Side Hour two, The Jason Smith Show
with My best friend Mike Harmon. Apple Original Films and
Warner Brothers Pictures. F one the movie, a heart pounding
underdog story from the director of Top Gun, Maverick. F
one the movie starring Brad Pitt. See it on the
biggest screen possible, only in theaters and Imax Tomorrow rated
(00:50):
PG thirteen. Mike and I got to see you in
a couple weeks ago. It is outstanding. It is exciting.
You'll feel like you're riding right alongside, like you're riding
in one of those little cars would have the has
a sidecar right next to Bratt. Oh yeah, as he
goes and see it on a really really big screen.
It is a great, great big spectacle. Awesome, awesome film.
(01:11):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I mean, they're starting to run some of the dialogue
in the latest Hey in coming up tomorrow, including a
line you and I have used on the show many
many times, hope is not a strategy.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I wonder if the writer of the movie listen to
the show, because we've been saying that for a long time,
and all of a sudden they run that hope is
not a strategy line. I was like, hey, we looked
at it. What we saw. We looked at each other
and said, hey, wait a minute, that's our line, hope
it is not a strategy. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
we say that, hang on a second.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh, we should make it showed up in the commercial
that as I was watching a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
The Bear earlier today, just smiled. Yeah. Uh, Now, Night
two of the NBA draft is mercifully is in the
books and it's it's done, and uh, it's a final
all the two way contracts had begun. Yeah, and oh,
by the way, you know, it's somebody that you look
(02:04):
the big headline of the night because it's a really
difficult thing to see. Saint John Star R. J. Lewis
does not get drafted. And this is a guy who
was the big East player of the year that everybody
was looking at and saying he's gonna be I thought
he was gonna be the guy to vault Saint John's
the Final four, and he has the really bad elimination
game against Arkansas and he gets benched by Rick Patino
(02:27):
and he announced he's leaving the transfer portal, but he's
gonna stay in the draft. And he could have made
probably two million dollars someplace else, going someplace to play
another year nil wise. Instead he decides to stay in
the draft, and he goes undrafted. And it's I see
decisions like this made, and I go I want to
I want to sit here and say, all right, let
(02:49):
me just break stuff down for all of you, all
of you kids that are that are that are declaring
for the draft, because you're going in just because you
are a really big player in college doesn't mean the
NBA is gonna come calling. There are sixty spots. There
are sixty spots that are out there, and a good
third to more of them are gonna be from players
(03:11):
playing overseas. Right, So now think about that. Now think
about that coming in and you're gonna look at maybe
forty forty spots or so, are you one of the
top forty people that can project to the NBA. Understand
that when you make this decision, this is gonna hurt
you financially. I don't know when you're going to chance
to make two million dollars in a year. Again, like,
(03:31):
make that smart decision. I don't know if it's just
getting advice going oh yeah, yeah, this guy's a you know,
a second round pick or early second round pick. Yeah,
just because you get advised that way doesn't mean that
that's what that's what's gonna happen to you. And I
you know, see a bunch of guys, a bunch of
big players in college basketball last year, but rjie lewis
at the top of this because of his high profile.
That's wow. Man, the guy could have stayed somewhere else
(03:52):
and and made probably two million dollars next year and instead, now,
who knows, you know, undrafted free agent, you don't know
what you're basketball career is going to be from there.
Maybe you have to go play overseas at some point.
Like sometimes that decision in the blink of an eye
goes from hey, I'm confident in my abilities to Oh,
I really didn't read the room right.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, you're also got a lot of variables that your
agent and the people you're talking to are only going
to have so much information. On right, second round of
the draft, you had eight players drafted from overseas.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Guys have video. Maybe there's some comps and some teams
that take a swing because some of these guys can't
get out of their deals for a year or two, right,
So it's not a move for twenty five, twenty six,
but it's a long term all right. They're gonna keep.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Playing in Europe or wherever they are on the map,
and eventually maybe they come over, maybe they don't. But
you're a team that has depth, so you take a
shot in that regard as opposed to a guy finishing
his collegiate career. Now, it's there's just so much to it,
and we see the advice process of it all, and
(05:01):
the fact that you do have this marketplace whereby now
you can make a million or two million dollars, or
even if it's a couple of hundred thousand dollars, it's
you know, after you the first round is over, there's
no guaranteed money, right, you get some signing bonuses, but
you're right, you're unless you're Brownie James, you're not getting
a bunch of guaranteed money as a second round pick.
(05:21):
And certainly once we start getting into the two way
deals and everything else, it's a whole other level of business.
But you know, while things keep getting sorted out at
the collegiate level, you know, any guy that's not guaranteed
to be top thirty, and we saw even that, right,
guys still in the green room at the end of
yesterday's activity, you know, breaking down because you know they
(05:44):
were they were passed over, and now they know that
it's a much more difficult road. Not that it can't
be overcome, but you know, now it's you're not at
least saying, Okay, I've got my three years of guaranteed money.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That I'm getting right off the jump.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So yeah, the cautionary tails is really what you start
seeing now because a lot of decorated collegiate players, guys
we watched in the tournament, guys that we watched star
on the big stage the last couple of years, are
the first names to start rolling up on these two
way deals.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So again we'll have more on the NBA Draft coming up.
Throughout the show. We got a big story on Ace
Bailey coming up as well. But it's not often you
see guys turning down a maximum contract extension, but that's
what happened today. And we talked a little bit ago.
I would say a few weeks ago. Get ready for
this to be the final year for Lebron James with
(06:37):
the Lakers, especially now since the team was sold, they
seem to be distancing themselves. Lebron doesn't have the sway
over the organization he once did, so this is going
to be it. He's gonna announce his plan in the
next few days about whether he's gonna come back for
this year, what he's going to do. Of course he's
opting in. No one else has given him fifty one
million dollars. It's not gonna be any sort of drum
(06:58):
Lebron is going to play. But also get ready for
this to be the last year in LA for Austin
Reeves as well. Okay, Austin Reeves turns down eighty nine
million dollar max extension over four years, which is not
surprising because Austin Reeves, hey coming through, you know, coming
through look from undrafted to being one of the top
three the Lakers had. Like, Okay, he's seeing a payday
(07:21):
next year that could that could dwarf this. The Lakers
aren't given it to him. Okay, Austin Reeves is a
nice player, and he's a great story, and he's become
more than that. He's become a really good player. But
for someone who potentially could be the third player on
a team, you're not giving him the max. And he's
gonna want the max, right, Like, Like, Austin Reeves is
(07:42):
not a MAX player, right, you need some sort of Hey,
I need some sort of track record in the playoffs,
some sort of you know, some sort of inkling that
you're gonna be more than a twenty point a year guy.
And yes, he's young in his career and he's been
he's been just getting better and better and it's great
to see his ascension. But Austin Reeves is not a
max guy, right. It's it's a he could sign a
(08:04):
two hundred and fifty million dollars max deal next year,
it's not gonna happen. Right. The Lakers want to go
out and say, how do we maneuver this team around Luca?
What does Luca need, right, and we know that they're
gonna go out and get a big this offseason. That's
gonna be the thing. But with money to spend next
year after Lebron, this is his last year here barring
an NBA title, so it's probably gonna be his last
(08:26):
year with LA Lebron and Austin Reeves, Like, you're not
gonna give Austin Reeves that money like that, that's money
that's got to go to another NBA high level All
star to come in and play with Luca, which there
will be bigs that want to go do that. That's
where that money's gotta go. So yeah, like Austin Reeves
turning this down, I'm not surprised because someone's gonna give
him a ton of money, right, because the money is
(08:48):
the money is flowing out there in the NBA. But
the Lakers say, Okay, it's Luca and Austin Reeves and
Austin Reeves again, he scores twenty a game and that's great,
but he's not a MAX guy, so this is gonna
be a Hey, the Lakers are gonna make this last
run with kind of what they have with Lebron and
Austin Reeves, and we're gonna see if we can make
(09:09):
any sort of move during this whatever in the offseason
to get a big in, Like that's gonna be the
big thing, because whoever they bring in to be the
big that Luca wants, like that's gonna be there one
player that becomes a lynchpin for the next couple of years.
Like that's what they're gonna try to do. But the
rest of this year is gonna be Okay, what does
this team need to work? What do we need to
get to the era of Luca for the next five
(09:30):
or seven years where he's our best player, and what
do we get around him? And I clearly Lebron is
not gonna be that guy, and I don't see Austin
Reeves as being that guy because he's gonna want that money.
Laker's gonna have to say, Okay, that's great, but you know,
we can't give you that kind of money. I mean,
the Lakers giving Austin Reeves that money would be insane. Well,
(09:51):
I mean you can find guys to score twenty points.
Those guys are all over the place.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
That is not you know, that's not anything when we
talk about you know where he ranks defensively.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He rates us poor. So that's not helping you, right,
I mean because Luca doesn't play defense. This is like
your knicks, right, we just go to the other coast.
We got two guys. Yeah, they could, they could fill
it up in the scoring column and they can do
some good things there. But we know where they're not
getting any any commitment to playing defense. Why would you
do that? Why why would you commit massive money to it?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And look the new ownership group, you know as they
change things out, philosophy, uh, front office ownership whatever. Again,
it's it's the decision of all the secondary moneies that
get spent, right, and how often you want to go
hang out in that second apron because that has an
effect on what you can do in the draft and
(10:46):
all of those kind of things. Uh, it automatically puts
you to the back of the line, like you just
landed on the you know, go to jail, do not pass, go,
do not collect two hundred dollars, those kind of things.
In terms of your draft, draft prospects, you can only
do that in five years. But so you've got to
make some some educated and judicious decisions there. Giving Austin
(11:07):
Reeves two hundred and fifty million dollars is not that?
So I don't know that this necessarily becomes the next
and a guy we were talking about yesterday with Mark
Stein of you know, Dennis Shrewder, but remember him famously
passing off on an eighty four million dollar deal. Sure
he wishes he signed that one. Now he's got a
nice whole career and he's a he's a good contributor
(11:29):
in Austin.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Reed's gonna make money. He's gonna make money, but that's why.
But you have more value to the later makes more
money elsewhere. I don't know about that. You look at
a four year ninety million dollar extension, he's gonna get
more than that on the open market, right or would be.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Well, I mean you wait a year, sure, yeah, I
mean market hill a year from.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Now, he'll get more. But for the les, I mean, really,
you can't five years two hundred and forty six million
dollars like he's not he's not getting the max from them.
It's not. And I don't know you can give him
and say, Okay, here's a hundred and seventy five million, like,
I don't know that you can do that, Like I
don't think that's prudent to give that kind of money
to Austin Reeves just suddenly it's okay. Yeah, I get that,
all the the salaries keep going up and up and up.
(12:09):
But I mean, at some point you have to say, okay,
we need to make sure that our second highest paid guy.
And because you're gonna pay Luca, right, you're gonna have
to pay Luca. At some point, that extension is gonna
be coming. That'll probably be some kind of two three
year extension. Uh, you know for Lucas as they see
and he waits for as much as they can pay it. Hold. Yeah,
(12:29):
but uh, I mean you can't say, okay, you're gonna
give Austin Reeves one hundred and eighty million, one hundred
and seventy five million and then say, okay, now here's
our next guy. We're Bret. You're not gonna do that.
That's just not you just get that. That just doesn't
make sense. Well, you got to build out a full roster.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He's a nice, complimentary player if the other pieces are
in place, right. It's because, like I said, it's not
like he's giving you much beyond a little bit of
the spark offensively, and you can find guys to score
twenty points. The rosters in the NBA are littered with
him go down uh and and even guys on bad
teams and you say, wow, someone's got a score. Say no,
(13:07):
they can go into a good team and score as
many points if you're gonna make them the focal point of.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
A second unit. But but all of that to say,
it's just it's just not prudent. The math doesn't work,
especially if you're looking to truly build a winning rosters.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
One thing to just fill it out. Hey, it's funny money.
The fans like Austin Reeves and they do, but that
that's not getting you towards towards the title.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
If he's your two A guy, yeah, that that's a
He can be the third best guy on a team.
I get that. I get that he could be a
third best guy on a team. But third best guy
on the team, you can't have three guys. If he's
the third best, that means you have three guys making
over two hundred million dollars. But yeah, it's a four
(13:57):
two fifty. That's not you can't do it. You can't.
It's just it just doesn't make sense. I get it,
and he's gonna get paid. But for the Lakers to
do that, they have to say, Okay, we went and
got Luca and this turned out to be a great
move for us. How do we build around them and
how do we do it? And they'll find a different way.
They'll spend this year saying, Okay, what works, what doesn't.
Maybe they catch lightning in a bottle, maybe they don't,
(14:19):
but hey, we spend this year figuring it out, and
then in the next offseason, okay, these are the moves
we have to make where we now say okay, now
we're going for it under Luco with a new everything
going on, and that's after Lebron and probably after Austin
Reeves exit out about a Fresco exit Swollen Dome. Jason

(15:30):
It is the heart pounding adventure you want as we
start the summer, so big deal in Major League Baseball
tonight we watch Clayton Kershaw get three strikeouts away from
that magical, mystical number of three thousand. We may not
see it again for a while after this. Joining us
now on the hot line for more on this and
(15:52):
all the big news at Major League Baseball MLB Network
Insider extraordinaire John Paul Morosi, who I believe? Are you
in it right now? Are you with the Pope? John Paul?
What is happened?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
My goodness? Well, I will say this, Wana said, I
am back in the States now, So if I were literaly,
let's see, it would be a good morning call. From there,
it'd be five let's see five twenty am in Rome.
My Circadian rhythms are still sort of playing catch up
(16:25):
a little bit. But I am back in the States.
We got back actually almost twenty four hours ago, so
adjusting and loved it. Did not interview the Pope, unfortunately,
But however I did interview the president of the Italian
Baseball Softball Federation. How about that? So I had I
(16:48):
met him. He joined us for dinner. Moreco Marco Matzieri
Modica Mazieri, a dear friend of mine. We actually met
for dinner and I interviewed him. Part of the interview.
We're hoping is that it will air on MLB network
next week. And I also drove a car in Rome,
(17:13):
which was its own very challenging and beautiful experience. I
will tell this very quick story. I was trying to
leave Rome to go to the airport. I had parked
my rental car, which again is a leap of faith
in and of itself. I had parked the rental car
down a one way road, which is a generous way
(17:35):
of saying that I probably shouldn't even have parked it there.
And I was trying to get it out to go
to the airport. When I realized that I was stuck
behind a tomato truck that was unloading and was not
going to move in for a very very long time,
and I said, this isn't good. I got to go
to the airport with my family, and so I decided
(17:56):
to rather than wait and potentially miss my flight, decided
to put the car in reverse and drive backwards down
a one way in the opposite direction of what I
was supposed to be doing, much to the astonishment of
all the Romans who were watching this American crawl backwards
(18:16):
down this one way road. And as I looked to
my left, as I was about halfway down my journey,
when I was moving about a foot every minute approximately,
I looked at this, at this guy on a vespa,
because if my window was rolled down into course in Rome,
like you know, you can basically reach out, and you know,
I could have given him a high five, but he
(18:38):
was not in a mood to do that. So he
basically he saw me doing this, and he looked at
me and he said to say, molato, which means you
are incompetent.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It sounds so much more elegant the way they say it.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, it just sounds a little better to send most
of which I wanted to say, like da vero vero,
you know Sol, like I know that I am, But
what the hell am I supposed to do here? Guys?
I got to get the car out of the street.
So it was pretty funny. I made the flight. We
all made the flight, and we got a fun story
(19:18):
to tell.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
So did you like drive around the Vatican yelling pop
John ROSSI MLB Network, come on out. I'm I know
we had that.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Do Mandardavan Sola in Bullpen the Chicago wet Sox. That
was That was what I was trying to say. But somehow,
somehow that wasn't good enough. But but again, a wonderful
time in so many ways. Got to spend a little
bit of time in a small seaside village called Portoules.
(19:56):
So if you have ever a chance to look at
it in the map or go there, I would highly
recommend it.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I saw that from the I saw the guy from
the Chosen who plays Jesus in that he got a
picture with him yesterday at the Pope's big thing. I
was like, oh, maybe maybe you needed it more of
a religious opening.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
John, And again like My thought on it was this,
would I have wanted to sort of spend an entire
day of the of the vacation waiting in line, or
or did I want to see Rome with my and
and again when you got a family of five and
and the other four people who obviously are the most
(20:36):
important people in my in my world, love them all
so much, but they they like they liked none of
my ideas, None of them like any of my ideas
about what to do. So when you're in that situation,
I don't know that would have been that would have
been risky. I think if I would have said, Okay, hey, girls,
we're just gonna stand in line for a whole day. Uh,
(21:00):
I wanted to do it so much, but I felt
as though discretion was the better part of vlor on
this one.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well, I eventually you have to go home with your family,
and the Pope is still going to be in.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Vat That's right, that's right. I'm I'm saying a prayer
and at some point maybe I'll maybe I'll have a
chance to meet him, but I'll hopefully that's the next time.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now, Look, obviously, look back in the States here as
you are the big story. Hey, Clayton Kershaw now three
strikeouts away from three thousand, and you know, these are
fun conversations that that we have once in a while.
And I look at it and I go, Okay, Kershaw
is going to get there the next start. You may
get there in the first inning against the White Sox.
Chris Sale will probably get there in the next two years.
(21:46):
But after that, John Paul, we may not see anybody
get to three thousand strikeouts again in our lifetime.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Well, it's a great question. And do I think Paul
Stein's has a shot. I do. I think schemes could
do it. But the thing about these numbers that I
love about baseball is that you've got to be great,
and you've got to be great from a very young age.
(22:16):
And obviously the durability element with pitchers especially is real,
and the amount of injuries even for Kershaw. Let's think
about this way. Kershaw different from Skiens. Kershaw was a
high school pick. He started accumulating these strikeouts at the
age of twenty and was about as dominant as you
could possibly imagine for a decade and a half. And yeah,
(22:38):
of course there have been injuries that have intervened in
the time more recently, so I think Skeens has a shot.
He of course is a college pick and not a
high school pick, and so that makes it a little
harder for Paul, But he does have that kind of
ability and he's off to that kind of start. Look
(22:58):
at his numbers so far, but it is unbelievable what
he's been able to do. So Schemes is probably the
one guy that I think has has a shot to
do it who's active right now on the younger side.
But you know, you look at recent times. Felix Fernandez
a very interesting case because Felix was was great early,
(23:19):
but then we just saw the inability to stay durable.
And that's why I'm a big believer. Three thousand strikeouts,
these are these are special numbers. We should all be
very I think appreciative of watching an all time great
like Kershaw achieve a number like this.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, and it gets to go against my White Sox,
so that makes it all the better for me.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
And and by the way, I heard Jason's that was
a very interesting comment that Jason mays that he might
get in the first inning, and he's he's saying he
might strike out the side the first inning. To get it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
That would be a wizard.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
That so we all can do the math here, we
all know what three uh with three strikeouts the first
inning with me?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Well, the beauty of it, DOJP is he could try
to match Miserowski.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I mean you mentioned schemes, let's go to the other.
I mean we get fifty four thousand for a Pirates
and Brewers day game, A great life for baseball.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Unbelievable. And that's where Misserowski man. He he has been
in so many ways just as impressive. And listen, he again,
it's so early to start putting three thousand strikeouts on him.
We haven't. We haven't seen him quite for a full
season yet, but my goodness, electrifying, simply electrifying. And this
(24:38):
is where you're exactly right. A matchup between the Pirates
and the Brewers was the talk of the sport for
a day. I was even hearing about it over in Italy.
So that's that's what a big deal was. So I
think that for Misserowski, he's given the Brewers a real boost.
I think, you know, there's his arm and just the
(25:00):
way that he has gone about it and taken the
sport by storm. Hopefully we see him join schemes in
the World Baseball Classic in the spring. I would love
to see it. I just think he's he is special
and it gives me as as a Midwest, smaller market guy,
it does give me a lot of joy that I
(25:22):
realized that the Pirates are not really able to capitalize
on Skeens is brilliance right now. But it is pretty
cool to see two of the smaller markets in the
game having two of the very most talented pitchers we
have seen in a very very long time.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Fox Sports Radio, John Paul Morosi, our guest Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon, live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, so,
John Paul, here we are. We're getting set. We're about
a month away from the trade deadline. We're getting to
that point. We're getting close. We're getting close to to
July here, and we see some teams heating up, some
teams doing some things. If I had to say to
you right now, what's the name that we're going to
(26:02):
be talking about a lot over the course of the
next few weeks. Today, this is going to be the
guy available. This is going to be you teams, this
is the big fish.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Who would you tell me well, good framing of the question,
because I will say Sandy A of the Miami Marlins
a big fish. Good well played by you on the question.
But the other name in addition to Sandy de I'll
say that I actually discussed today on MLB Network is
(26:31):
Chris Boubach, who I think is not a big name
for a lot of people in baseball, but he is
to me an all star. He is I think on
his way to a career year, and with the current
issues that the Royals have scoring runs, I'm just not
sure they're going to be able to get into this
(26:54):
race in a meaningful way. They're below five hundred right now,
They're double digit games behind the Tiger right now in
the American League Central. So if I'm the Royals, I'm
listening intently on the potential of someone giving me two
bats to get a Chris Boubach. Does that end up
being a Chicago Cobbs, for example, just given where their
(27:15):
needs are for getting one more starting pitcher. I mean
that's that to me, is where I'm going with this,
that that Boubach should be at least as intriguing to
teams as al Conta is. I think al Conta is
probably a little more of an easy, easy name to
mention because the Marlins are such obvious sellers. But Boobach
(27:36):
is in the same service time class free agent after
twenty twenty six, and and for me, is at the
absolute peak of his powers. It's made some adjustments this year.
He's going to be an All Star. So I think
the number one is is al Conta, simply because he's
so obvious and the team is so so certainly going
(27:57):
to listen to offers for him. But I think a
close second for me is Boobach because if the Royals
can figure this thing out offensively, very very soon, they
need to listen. And I do wonder if, because Bubich
is so so affordable right now and also under contract
for next year, if there might be a team or
(28:17):
two that steps forward and makes a real strong offer
that creates the type of market that will force u
JJ Piccolo the Royal team to really consider moving him.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
He's on X at John Morosi, that is at John
Morossi MLB Network Insider and before because I always forget
John Paul, I need to, I forget who's that new
player on the Royals that came up. He's such a
highly touted prospect. What his name always escapes me? What's
his name?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Glean Jacka. Basically I was I was saying it that way.
I just I was walking down the street. And by
the way I was, I was re reading the very
fittingly Anthony Door's book, which is Four Seasons of Room.
(29:07):
Highly recommend it, and in it he said, he said
something that I think is very true that certain words
in Italian sound like a song when you say them.
Gallianone is one of them, but the other, the other
one is the actual the number five hundred and fifty five.
Chink wichento chi kuanta cinque. That's how you say it,
(29:27):
hinkwi cento chinkuanta cinque. It's just like there are just
certain words in the language that that sing. Gagleanone is
now one of them.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Why, I tell you, got my dad doing it? Now?
My dad will come over in the first thing You'll
say walking in and I'll go carle. He just comes
in and says that now you got to do it.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
They it nice and slow, and then maybe it's going
to catch on because they say said. The official pronunciation
the MV pronunciation guide is caglione guy guys No, absolutely
not the official pronunciation. We're gonna We're gonna go with
what does it say in the MLB official pronunciation, or
(30:11):
what does it say in the entire country. Okay, if
you ask anybody from the entire country, how do you
say this? They will all say it God.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
One is romanticized. The other sounds like he's ready to
take you out back and whack you.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Again. The romance. The romance wins like romance always wins.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
John Paul is always buddy, appreciate it. Uh, glad you're back.
We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Have fun, great to be back. Cheap enamo presto.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
All right, we'll look up and make sure you can
say that on the radio. All right. I'll make sure
I think you said I'll see you in hell, because
that would fit with John Paul Barossie. I just told
us we'll see us in hell. Like well, I mean
breaks character when he changes language.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I mean, I don't know, it's a different personality.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
To find out what's trending in the wide world, a
sportsful man who learned Italian thanks to Rosetta Stone. It
is Isaac Lowenkraft.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Well, I'm afraid what he said ims Ferrano saldatee tuto
amico mio, which translated to the Mets are gonna blow it,
my friend, Oh hi.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Lo man that Rosetta stone. It works well.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
However, the short term news for the Mets on the
field was good on Thursday night because they shut out
the Atlanta braves Ford and Nothing to take over first
place in the National League East by half a game
over the Phillies. Five Mets pitchers combined for a three
hit shutout with eleven strikeouts, but started Griffin Canning had
to leave the game due to a non contact left
achilles injury after two and two thirds innings. Today, the
(31:48):
NFL suspended former Baltimore Ravens placekicker and reputed a perv
Justin Tucker for ten weeks for violations of the NFL's
personal conduct policy. Tucker, who's presently a free agent, was
accused of sexual misconduct by sixteen massage therapists in the
Baltimore area. And the NBA Draft concluded on Thursday evening
(32:11):
with round two. The final pick for the record Tennessee
guard Jami Mayshak, who went fifty ninth overall to the
Memphis Grizzly. So he stays in the state of Tennessee. Guys,
back to you.

the answer?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Everybody who was first round pick in the NBA draft?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Oh yeah, number one picks from Duke, all the number
one picks of Duke. He went all the way back
to nineteen sixty three knowing the fact that he knew
that one.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Yeah, I will one of us is an actual Knicks fan.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
He spent. Okay, it wasn't the Knicks, it was Duke, but.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Right right? Okay? All right? So what do you got, Frostburg?
What's our deal tonight?
Speaker 9 (34:42):
Well, guys, as we know, come next week against the
White Sox, the great Clayton Kershaw will be getting to
three thousand strikeouts.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Yeah, possibly in the first inning.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Maybe, I think likely in the first inning. Hey, hey,
not likely.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I mean, Mike, with all respects, it is the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
We all due respect, My friend, what odds can I
get that Kirshaw does it in the first day. I'm
gonna look it up right now. I'm gonna text Furman.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome in Side Hour two, The Jason Smith Show
with My best friend Mike Harmon. Apple Original Films and
Warner Brothers Pictures. F one the movie, a heart pounding
underdog story from the director of Top Gun, Maverick. F
one the movie starring Brad Pitt. See it on the
biggest screen possible, only in theaters and Imax Tomorrow rated
(00:50):
PG thirteen. Mike and I got to see you in

You'll feel like you're riding right alongside, like you're riding
in one of those little cars would have the has
a sidecar right next to Bratt. Oh yeah, as he
goes and see it on a really really big screen.
It is a great, great big spectacle. Awesome, awesome film.
(01:11):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I mean, they're starting to run some of the dialogue
in the latest Hey in coming up tomorrow, including a
line you and I have used on the show many
many times, hope is not a strategy.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I wonder if the writer of the movie listen to
the show, because we've been saying that for a long time,
and all of a sudden they run that hope is
not a strategy line. I was like, hey, we looked
at it. What we saw. We looked at each other
and said, hey, wait a minute, that's our line, hope
it is not a strategy. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
we say that, hang on a second.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh, we should make it showed up in the commercial
that as I was watching a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
The Bear earlier today, just smiled. Yeah. Uh, Now, Night
two of the NBA draft is mercifully is in the
books and it's it's done, and uh, it's a final
all the two way contracts had begun. Yeah, and oh,
by the way, you know, it's somebody that you look
(02:04):
the big headline of the night because it's a really
difficult thing to see. Saint John Star R. J. Lewis
does not get drafted. And this is a guy who
was the big East player of the year that everybody
was looking at and saying he's gonna be I thought
he was gonna be the guy to vault Saint John's
the Final four, and he has the really bad elimination
game against Arkansas and he gets benched by Rick Patino
(02:27):
and he announced he's leaving the transfer portal, but he's
gonna stay in the draft. And he could have made
probably two million dollars someplace else, going someplace to play
another year nil wise. Instead he decides to stay in
the draft, and he goes undrafted. And it's I see
decisions like this made, and I go I want to
I want to sit here and say, all right, let
(02:49):
me just break stuff down for all of you, all
of you kids that are that are that are declaring
for the draft, because you're going in just because you
are a really big player in college doesn't mean the
NBA is gonna come calling. There are sixty spots. There
are sixty spots that are out there, and a good
third to more of them are gonna be from players
(03:11):
playing overseas. Right, So now think about that. Now think
about that coming in and you're gonna look at maybe
forty forty spots or so, are you one of the
top forty people that can project to the NBA. Understand
that when you make this decision, this is gonna hurt
you financially. I don't know when you're going to chance
to make two million dollars in a year. Again, like,
(03:31):
make that smart decision. I don't know if it's just
getting advice going oh yeah, yeah, this guy's a you know,
a second round pick or early second round pick. Yeah,
just because you get advised that way doesn't mean that
that's what that's what's gonna happen to you. And I
you know, see a bunch of guys, a bunch of
big players in college basketball last year, but rjie lewis
at the top of this because of his high profile.
That's wow. Man, the guy could have stayed somewhere else
(03:52):
and and made probably two million dollars next year and instead, now,
who knows, you know, undrafted free agent, you don't know
what you're basketball career is going to be from there.
Maybe you have to go play overseas at some point.
Like sometimes that decision in the blink of an eye
goes from hey, I'm confident in my abilities to Oh,
I really didn't read the room right.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, you're also got a lot of variables that your
agent and the people you're talking to are only going
to have so much information. On right, second round of
the draft, you had eight players drafted from overseas.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Guys have video. Maybe there's some comps and some teams
that take a swing because some of these guys can't
get out of their deals for a year or two, right,
So it's not a move for twenty five, twenty six,
but it's a long term all right. They're gonna keep.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Playing in Europe or wherever they are on the map,
and eventually maybe they come over, maybe they don't. But
you're a team that has depth, so you take a
shot in that regard as opposed to a guy finishing
his collegiate career. Now, it's there's just so much to it,
and we see the advice process of it all, and
(05:01):
the fact that you do have this marketplace whereby now
you can make a million or two million dollars, or
even if it's a couple of hundred thousand dollars, it's
you know, after you the first round is over, there's
no guaranteed money, right, you get some signing bonuses, but
you're right, you're unless you're Brownie James, you're not getting
a bunch of guaranteed money as a second round pick.
(05:21):
And certainly once we start getting into the two way
deals and everything else, it's a whole other level of business.
But you know, while things keep getting sorted out at
the collegiate level, you know, any guy that's not guaranteed
to be top thirty, and we saw even that, right,
guys still in the green room at the end of
yesterday's activity, you know, breaking down because you know they
(05:44):
were they were passed over, and now they know that
it's a much more difficult road. Not that it can't
be overcome, but you know, now it's you're not at
least saying, Okay, I've got my three years of guaranteed money.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That I'm getting right off the jump.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So yeah, the cautionary tails is really what you start
seeing now because a lot of decorated collegiate players, guys
we watched in the tournament, guys that we watched star
on the big stage the last couple of years, are
the first names to start rolling up on these two
way deals.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So again we'll have more on the NBA Draft coming up.
Throughout the show. We got a big story on Ace
Bailey coming up as well. But it's not often you
see guys turning down a maximum contract extension, but that's
what happened today. And we talked a little bit ago.
I would say a few weeks ago. Get ready for
this to be the final year for Lebron James with
(06:37):
the Lakers, especially now since the team was sold, they
seem to be distancing themselves. Lebron doesn't have the sway
over the organization he once did, so this is going
to be it. He's gonna announce his plan in the
next few days about whether he's gonna come back for
this year, what he's going to do. Of course he's
opting in. No one else has given him fifty one
million dollars. It's not gonna be any sort of drum
(06:58):
Lebron is going to play. But also get ready for
this to be the last year in LA for Austin
Reeves as well. Okay, Austin Reeves turns down eighty nine
million dollar max extension over four years, which is not
surprising because Austin Reeves, hey coming through, you know, coming
through look from undrafted to being one of the top
three the Lakers had. Like, Okay, he's seeing a payday
(07:21):
next year that could that could dwarf this. The Lakers
aren't given it to him. Okay, Austin Reeves is a
nice player, and he's a great story, and he's become
more than that. He's become a really good player. But
for someone who potentially could be the third player on
a team, you're not giving him the max. And he's
gonna want the max, right, Like, Like, Austin Reeves is
(07:42):
not a MAX player, right, you need some sort of Hey,
I need some sort of track record in the playoffs,
some sort of you know, some sort of inkling that
you're gonna be more than a twenty point a year guy.
And yes, he's young in his career and he's been
he's been just getting better and better and it's great
to see his ascension. But Austin Reeves is not a
max guy, right. It's it's a he could sign a
(08:04):
two hundred and fifty million dollars max deal next year,
it's not gonna happen. Right. The Lakers want to go
out and say, how do we maneuver this team around Luca?
What does Luca need, right, and we know that they're
gonna go out and get a big this offseason. That's
gonna be the thing. But with money to spend next
year after Lebron, this is his last year here barring
an NBA title, so it's probably gonna be his last
(08:26):
year with LA Lebron and Austin Reeves, Like, you're not
gonna give Austin Reeves that money like that, that's money
that's got to go to another NBA high level All
star to come in and play with Luca, which there
will be bigs that want to go do that. That's
where that money's gotta go. So yeah, like Austin Reeves
turning this down, I'm not surprised because someone's gonna give
him a ton of money, right, because the money is
(08:48):
the money is flowing out there in the NBA. But
the Lakers say, Okay, it's Luca and Austin Reeves and
Austin Reeves again, he scores twenty a game and that's great,
but he's not a MAX guy, so this is gonna
be a Hey, the Lakers are gonna make this last
run with kind of what they have with Lebron and
Austin Reeves, and we're gonna see if we can make
(09:09):
any sort of move during this whatever in the offseason
to get a big in, Like that's gonna be the
big thing, because whoever they bring in to be the
big that Luca wants, like that's gonna be there one
player that becomes a lynchpin for the next couple of years.
Like that's what they're gonna try to do. But the
rest of this year is gonna be Okay, what does
this team need to work? What do we need to
get to the era of Luca for the next five
(09:30):
or seven years where he's our best player, and what
do we get around him? And I clearly Lebron is
not gonna be that guy, and I don't see Austin
Reeves as being that guy because he's gonna want that money.
Laker's gonna have to say, Okay, that's great, but you know,
we can't give you that kind of money. I mean,
the Lakers giving Austin Reeves that money would be insane. Well,
(09:51):
I mean you can find guys to score twenty points.
Those guys are all over the place.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
That is not you know, that's not anything when we
talk about you know where he ranks defensively.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He rates us poor. So that's not helping you, right,
I mean because Luca doesn't play defense. This is like
your knicks, right, we just go to the other coast.
We got two guys. Yeah, they could, they could fill
it up in the scoring column and they can do
some good things there. But we know where they're not
getting any any commitment to playing defense. Why would you
do that? Why why would you commit massive money to it?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And look the new ownership group, you know as they
change things out, philosophy, uh, front office ownership whatever. Again,
it's it's the decision of all the secondary moneies that
get spent, right, and how often you want to go
hang out in that second apron because that has an
effect on what you can do in the draft and
(10:46):
all of those kind of things. Uh, it automatically puts
you to the back of the line, like you just
landed on the you know, go to jail, do not pass, go,
do not collect two hundred dollars, those kind of things.
In terms of your draft, draft prospects, you can only
do that in five years. But so you've got to
make some some educated and judicious decisions there. Giving Austin
(11:07):
Reeves two hundred and fifty million dollars is not that?
So I don't know that this necessarily becomes the next
and a guy we were talking about yesterday with Mark
Stein of you know, Dennis Shrewder, but remember him famously
passing off on an eighty four million dollar deal. Sure
he wishes he signed that one. Now he's got a
nice whole career and he's a he's a good contributor
(11:29):
in Austin.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Reed's gonna make money. He's gonna make money, but that's why.
But you have more value to the later makes more
money elsewhere. I don't know about that. You look at
a four year ninety million dollar extension, he's gonna get
more than that on the open market, right or would be.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Well, I mean you wait a year, sure, yeah, I
mean market hill a year from.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Now, he'll get more. But for the les, I mean, really,
you can't five years two hundred and forty six million
dollars like he's not he's not getting the max from them.
It's not. And I don't know you can give him
and say, Okay, here's a hundred and seventy five million, like,
I don't know that you can do that, Like I
don't think that's prudent to give that kind of money
to Austin Reeves just suddenly it's okay. Yeah, I get that,
all the the salaries keep going up and up and up.
(12:09):
But I mean, at some point you have to say, okay,
we need to make sure that our second highest paid guy.
And because you're gonna pay Luca, right, you're gonna have
to pay Luca. At some point, that extension is gonna
be coming. That'll probably be some kind of two three
year extension. Uh, you know for Lucas as they see
and he waits for as much as they can pay it. Hold. Yeah,
(12:29):
but uh, I mean you can't say, okay, you're gonna
give Austin Reeves one hundred and eighty million, one hundred
and seventy five million and then say, okay, now here's
our next guy. We're Bret. You're not gonna do that.
That's just not you just get that. That just doesn't
make sense. Well, you got to build out a full roster.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He's a nice, complimentary player if the other pieces are
in place, right. It's because, like I said, it's not
like he's giving you much beyond a little bit of
the spark offensively, and you can find guys to score
twenty points. The rosters in the NBA are littered with
him go down uh and and even guys on bad
teams and you say, wow, someone's got a score. Say no,
(13:07):
they can go into a good team and score as
many points if you're gonna make them the focal point of.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
A second unit. But but all of that to say,
it's just it's just not prudent. The math doesn't work,
especially if you're looking to truly build a winning rosters.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
One thing to just fill it out. Hey, it's funny money.
The fans like Austin Reeves and they do, but that
that's not getting you towards towards the title.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
If he's your two A guy, yeah, that that's a
He can be the third best guy on a team.
I get that. I get that he could be a
third best guy on a team. But third best guy
on the team, you can't have three guys. If he's
the third best, that means you have three guys making
over two hundred million dollars. But yeah, it's a four
(13:57):
two fifty. That's not you can't do it. You can't.
It's just it just doesn't make sense. I get it,
and he's gonna get paid. But for the Lakers to
do that, they have to say, Okay, we went and
got Luca and this turned out to be a great
move for us. How do we build around them and
how do we do it? And they'll find a different way.
They'll spend this year saying, Okay, what works, what doesn't.
Maybe they catch lightning in a bottle, maybe they don't,
(14:19):
but hey, we spend this year figuring it out, and
then in the next offseason, okay, these are the moves
we have to make where we now say okay, now
we're going for it under Luco with a new everything
going on, and that's after Lebron and probably after Austin
Reeves exit out about a Fresco exit Swollen Dome. Jason
Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.

(15:30):
It is the heart pounding adventure you want as we
start the summer, so big deal in Major League Baseball
tonight we watch Clayton Kershaw get three strikeouts away from
that magical, mystical number of three thousand. We may not
see it again for a while after this. Joining us
now on the hot line for more on this and
(15:52):
all the big news at Major League Baseball MLB Network
Insider extraordinaire John Paul Morosi, who I believe? Are you
in it right now? Are you with the Pope? John Paul?
What is happened?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
My goodness? Well, I will say this, Wana said, I
am back in the States now, So if I were literaly,
let's see, it would be a good morning call. From there,
it'd be five let's see five twenty am in Rome.
My Circadian rhythms are still sort of playing catch up
(16:25):
a little bit. But I am back in the States.
We got back actually almost twenty four hours ago, so
adjusting and loved it. Did not interview the Pope, unfortunately,
But however I did interview the president of the Italian
Baseball Softball Federation. How about that? So I had I
(16:48):
met him. He joined us for dinner. Moreco Marco Matzieri
Modica Mazieri, a dear friend of mine. We actually met
for dinner and I interviewed him. Part of the interview.
We're hoping is that it will air on MLB network
next week. And I also drove a car in Rome,
(17:13):
which was its own very challenging and beautiful experience. I
will tell this very quick story. I was trying to
leave Rome to go to the airport. I had parked
my rental car, which again is a leap of faith
in and of itself. I had parked the rental car
down a one way road, which is a generous way
(17:35):
of saying that I probably shouldn't even have parked it there.
And I was trying to get it out to go
to the airport. When I realized that I was stuck
behind a tomato truck that was unloading and was not
going to move in for a very very long time,
and I said, this isn't good. I got to go
to the airport with my family, and so I decided
(17:56):
to rather than wait and potentially miss my flight, decided
to put the car in reverse and drive backwards down
a one way in the opposite direction of what I
was supposed to be doing, much to the astonishment of
all the Romans who were watching this American crawl backwards
(18:16):
down this one way road. And as I looked to
my left, as I was about halfway down my journey,
when I was moving about a foot every minute approximately,
I looked at this, at this guy on a vespa,
because if my window was rolled down into course in Rome,
like you know, you can basically reach out, and you know,
I could have given him a high five, but he
(18:38):
was not in a mood to do that. So he
basically he saw me doing this, and he looked at
me and he said to say, molato, which means you
are incompetent.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It sounds so much more elegant the way they say it.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, it just sounds a little better to send most
of which I wanted to say, like da vero vero,
you know Sol, like I know that I am, But
what the hell am I supposed to do here? Guys?
I got to get the car out of the street.
So it was pretty funny. I made the flight. We
all made the flight, and we got a fun story
(19:18):
to tell.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
So did you like drive around the Vatican yelling pop
John ROSSI MLB Network, come on out. I'm I know
we had that.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Do Mandardavan Sola in Bullpen the Chicago wet Sox. That
was That was what I was trying to say. But somehow,
somehow that wasn't good enough. But but again, a wonderful
time in so many ways. Got to spend a little
bit of time in a small seaside village called Portoules.
(19:56):
So if you have ever a chance to look at
it in the map or go there, I would highly
recommend it.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I saw that from the I saw the guy from
the Chosen who plays Jesus in that he got a
picture with him yesterday at the Pope's big thing. I
was like, oh, maybe maybe you needed it more of
a religious opening.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
John, And again like My thought on it was this,
would I have wanted to sort of spend an entire
day of the of the vacation waiting in line, or
or did I want to see Rome with my and
and again when you got a family of five and
and the other four people who obviously are the most
(20:36):
important people in my in my world, love them all
so much, but they they like they liked none of
my ideas, None of them like any of my ideas
about what to do. So when you're in that situation,
I don't know that would have been that would have
been risky. I think if I would have said, Okay, hey, girls,
we're just gonna stand in line for a whole day. Uh,
(21:00):
I wanted to do it so much, but I felt
as though discretion was the better part of vlor on
this one.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well, I eventually you have to go home with your family,
and the Pope is still going to be in.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Vat That's right, that's right. I'm I'm saying a prayer
and at some point maybe I'll maybe I'll have a
chance to meet him, but I'll hopefully that's the next time.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now, Look, obviously, look back in the States here as
you are the big story. Hey, Clayton Kershaw now three
strikeouts away from three thousand, and you know, these are
fun conversations that that we have once in a while.
And I look at it and I go, Okay, Kershaw
is going to get there the next start. You may
get there in the first inning against the White Sox.
Chris Sale will probably get there in the next two years.
(21:46):
But after that, John Paul, we may not see anybody
get to three thousand strikeouts again in our lifetime.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Well, it's a great question. And do I think Paul
Stein's has a shot. I do. I think schemes could
do it. But the thing about these numbers that I
love about baseball is that you've got to be great,
and you've got to be great from a very young age.
(22:16):
And obviously the durability element with pitchers especially is real,
and the amount of injuries even for Kershaw. Let's think
about this way. Kershaw different from Skiens. Kershaw was a
high school pick. He started accumulating these strikeouts at the
age of twenty and was about as dominant as you
could possibly imagine for a decade and a half. And yeah,
(22:38):
of course there have been injuries that have intervened in
the time more recently, so I think Skeens has a shot.
He of course is a college pick and not a
high school pick, and so that makes it a little
harder for Paul, But he does have that kind of
ability and he's off to that kind of start. Look
(22:58):
at his numbers so far, but it is unbelievable what
he's been able to do. So Schemes is probably the
one guy that I think has has a shot to
do it who's active right now on the younger side.
But you know, you look at recent times. Felix Fernandez
a very interesting case because Felix was was great early,
(23:19):
but then we just saw the inability to stay durable.
And that's why I'm a big believer. Three thousand strikeouts,
these are these are special numbers. We should all be
very I think appreciative of watching an all time great
like Kershaw achieve a number like this.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, and it gets to go against my White Sox,
so that makes it all the better for me.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
And and by the way, I heard Jason's that was
a very interesting comment that Jason mays that he might
get in the first inning, and he's he's saying he
might strike out the side the first inning. To get it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
That would be a wizard.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
That so we all can do the math here, we
all know what three uh with three strikeouts the first
inning with me?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Well, the beauty of it, DOJP is he could try
to match Miserowski.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I mean you mentioned schemes, let's go to the other.
I mean we get fifty four thousand for a Pirates
and Brewers day game, A great life for baseball.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Unbelievable. And that's where Misserowski man. He he has been
in so many ways just as impressive. And listen, he again,
it's so early to start putting three thousand strikeouts on him.
We haven't. We haven't seen him quite for a full
season yet, but my goodness, electrifying, simply electrifying. And this
(24:38):
is where you're exactly right. A matchup between the Pirates
and the Brewers was the talk of the sport for
a day. I was even hearing about it over in Italy.
So that's that's what a big deal was. So I
think that for Misserowski, he's given the Brewers a real boost.
I think, you know, there's his arm and just the
(25:00):
way that he has gone about it and taken the
sport by storm. Hopefully we see him join schemes in
the World Baseball Classic in the spring. I would love
to see it. I just think he's he is special
and it gives me as as a Midwest, smaller market guy,
it does give me a lot of joy that I
(25:22):
realized that the Pirates are not really able to capitalize
on Skeens is brilliance right now. But it is pretty
cool to see two of the smaller markets in the
game having two of the very most talented pitchers we
have seen in a very very long time.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Fox Sports Radio, John Paul Morosi, our guest Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon, live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, so,
John Paul, here we are. We're getting set. We're about
a month away from the trade deadline. We're getting to
that point. We're getting close. We're getting close to to
July here, and we see some teams heating up, some
teams doing some things. If I had to say to
you right now, what's the name that we're going to
(26:02):
be talking about a lot over the course of the
next few weeks. Today, this is going to be the
guy available. This is going to be you teams, this
is the big fish.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Who would you tell me well, good framing of the question,
because I will say Sandy A of the Miami Marlins
a big fish. Good well played by you on the question.
But the other name in addition to Sandy de I'll
say that I actually discussed today on MLB Network is
(26:31):
Chris Boubach, who I think is not a big name
for a lot of people in baseball, but he is
to me an all star. He is I think on
his way to a career year, and with the current
issues that the Royals have scoring runs, I'm just not
sure they're going to be able to get into this
(26:54):
race in a meaningful way. They're below five hundred right now,
They're double digit games behind the Tiger right now in
the American League Central. So if I'm the Royals, I'm
listening intently on the potential of someone giving me two
bats to get a Chris Boubach. Does that end up
being a Chicago Cobbs, for example, just given where their
(27:15):
needs are for getting one more starting pitcher. I mean
that's that to me, is where I'm going with this,
that that Boubach should be at least as intriguing to
teams as al Conta is. I think al Conta is
probably a little more of an easy, easy name to
mention because the Marlins are such obvious sellers. But Boobach
(27:36):
is in the same service time class free agent after
twenty twenty six, and and for me, is at the
absolute peak of his powers. It's made some adjustments this year.
He's going to be an All Star. So I think
the number one is is al Conta, simply because he's
so obvious and the team is so so certainly going
(27:57):
to listen to offers for him. But I think a
close second for me is Boobach because if the Royals
can figure this thing out offensively, very very soon, they
need to listen. And I do wonder if, because Bubich
is so so affordable right now and also under contract
for next year, if there might be a team or
(28:17):
two that steps forward and makes a real strong offer
that creates the type of market that will force u
JJ Piccolo the Royal team to really consider moving him.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
He's on X at John Morosi, that is at John
Morossi MLB Network Insider and before because I always forget
John Paul, I need to, I forget who's that new
player on the Royals that came up. He's such a
highly touted prospect. What his name always escapes me? What's
his name?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Glean Jacka. Basically I was I was saying it that way.
I just I was walking down the street. And by
the way I was, I was re reading the very
fittingly Anthony Door's book, which is Four Seasons of Room.
(29:07):
Highly recommend it, and in it he said, he said
something that I think is very true that certain words
in Italian sound like a song when you say them.
Gallianone is one of them, but the other, the other
one is the actual the number five hundred and fifty five.
Chink wichento chi kuanta cinque. That's how you say it,
(29:27):
hinkwi cento chinkuanta cinque. It's just like there are just
certain words in the language that that sing. Gagleanone is
now one of them.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Why, I tell you, got my dad doing it? Now?
My dad will come over in the first thing You'll
say walking in and I'll go carle. He just comes
in and says that now you got to do it.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
They it nice and slow, and then maybe it's going
to catch on because they say said. The official pronunciation
the MV pronunciation guide is caglione guy guys No, absolutely
not the official pronunciation. We're gonna We're gonna go with
what does it say in the MLB official pronunciation, or
(30:11):
what does it say in the entire country. Okay, if
you ask anybody from the entire country, how do you
say this? They will all say it God.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
One is romanticized. The other sounds like he's ready to
take you out back and whack you.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Again. The romance. The romance wins like romance always wins.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
John Paul is always buddy, appreciate it. Uh, glad you're back.
We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Have fun, great to be back. Cheap enamo presto.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
All right, we'll look up and make sure you can
say that on the radio. All right. I'll make sure
I think you said I'll see you in hell, because
that would fit with John Paul Barossie. I just told
us we'll see us in hell. Like well, I mean
breaks character when he changes language.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I mean, I don't know, it's a different personality.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
To find out what's trending in the wide world, a
sportsful man who learned Italian thanks to Rosetta Stone. It
is Isaac Lowenkraft.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Well, I'm afraid what he said ims Ferrano saldatee tuto
amico mio, which translated to the Mets are gonna blow it,
my friend, Oh hi.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Lo man that Rosetta stone. It works well.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
However, the short term news for the Mets on the
field was good on Thursday night because they shut out
the Atlanta braves Ford and Nothing to take over first
place in the National League East by half a game
over the Phillies. Five Mets pitchers combined for a three
hit shutout with eleven strikeouts, but started Griffin Canning had
to leave the game due to a non contact left
achilles injury after two and two thirds innings. Today, the
(31:48):
NFL suspended former Baltimore Ravens placekicker and reputed a perv
Justin Tucker for ten weeks for violations of the NFL's
personal conduct policy. Tucker, who's presently a free agent, was
accused of sexual misconduct by sixteen massage therapists in the
Baltimore area. And the NBA Draft concluded on Thursday evening
(32:11):
with round two. The final pick for the record Tennessee
guard Jami Mayshak, who went fifty ninth overall to the
Memphis Grizzly. So he stays in the state of Tennessee. Guys,
back to you.

(34:06):
Isaac Lohenkron Frostburg, and of course, newly minted sports expert
Alex teyshert. He's a wizard. Yeah, I mean last night,

the answer?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Everybody who was first round pick in the NBA draft?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Oh yeah, number one picks from Duke, all the number
one picks of Duke. He went all the way back
to nineteen sixty three knowing the fact that he knew
that one.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Yeah, I will one of us is an actual Knicks fan.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
He spent. Okay, it wasn't the Knicks, it was Duke, but.
Speaker 8 (34:34):
That's fine, but that the player went to the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Right right? Okay? All right? So what do you got, Frostburg?
What's our deal tonight?
Speaker 9 (34:42):
Well, guys, as we know, come next week against the
White Sox, the great Clayton Kershaw will be getting to
three thousand strikeouts.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Yeah, possibly in the first inning.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Maybe, I think likely in the first inning. Hey, hey,
not likely.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I mean, Mike, with all respects, it is the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
We all due respect, My friend, what odds can I
get that Kirshaw does it in the first day. I'm
gonna look it up right now. I'm gonna text Furman.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Yeah, text ferm oh boy.
Speaker 9 (35:14):
So when doing that next week, he'll become the twentieth
player ever to three thousand strikeouts.
