um so exactly 7.5 minutes and
finally mentioning juan soto
john give us the latest on what
, you know.
Yeah, well they are seriously
talking with a group of teams.
It appears that the teams at the
forefront our the Padres, the
Dodgers, the cardinals and the
rangers, you know, we're reading
tea leaves to some degree.
I think nine teams have shown
interest doesn't seem like the
new york teams are really
involved right now.
Some of the other teams may not
have the pieces, but certainly
the Padres very aggressive, they
have a lot of good prospects.
The Cardinals have a lot of good
young players, Dodgers have more
resources than anybody and the
rangers have become one of the
bigger spending teams and
they've been in the mix.
I would think the rangers not
really being in the heart of the
race right now have a little bit
less chance than the other three
part Padres, Cardinals and
Dodgers.
Okay, so here's what I'm gonna
do, I'm going to throw this to
you, Padres.
Okay, um, were talking about the
Padres outfield right now, pro
far, Grisham Mazara and Mayers
right.
None of these guys are having
phenomenal years profile gets on
base, but you're not talking
about outfields with any of
these teams that are
overwhelming right now.
What do where do you like him
for an individual team in need.
Well, I like him in out west, in
san Diego, I, the texas rangers
are also a fun fit and I think
he can upset the balance and
really do some special things
for chris young and what he's
building there to get in the A.
L West, but the Nl west, the
Dodgers have been the class of
that division for some time now
, even back when I played in it
, we were all chasing the
greatness of what the Dodgers
have been able to build.
San Diego and AJ Preller has
tried and made moves and bold
move after bold move being in
san Diego and seeing the fan
base excited about baseball.
What manny Machado has done when
you have Fernando Tatis Jr.
on the field, you put those two
superstars and sandwich one soto
in the middle of that, that
disrupts the dynasty out west
that Ella has and gives us
something fun to watch About.
You are a long time padre.
Can you even believe what's
going on here?
They used to be a team.
Remember when they couldn't
afford chase headley, he was the
star.
Of course, I guess you do
remember it couldn't afford him.
And now they've signed
Eric Hosmer 1 144 for 3 300
certainly in play here.
I mean, I think they're talking
about Otani as well.
I mean, can you imagine they've
got more than 20,000 season
tickets alone and they're
basically for that fan base, you
know, so many years in 2004 to
56, we were right in the mix and
couldn't make a trade to make
our team better and as that's
deflating now, watching the
Padres and having an emotional
tie like I do, I would love to
see one soto and Sandy and let
me put a cap on this.
When you're talking about those
teams, right Padres.
Cardinals, rangers, L.A.I would
think that the cardinals may
have the best pieces to move.
A couple of guys are major
league ready, they've been here
before and they also have some
young guys but this is going to
be fluid, this is going to move
around as you well know, which
is why you will not be sleeping.
Yeah, I will say that the Padres
have some very high ceiling guys
a little more of a risk.
Maybe the cardinals are more
cer#####y, but you know your
training a superstar, you want
to be able to get a superstar
back so I'm not ruling out the
Padres and Dodgers obviously
have great young players as
well.
Okay, Shohei Ohtani I mean the
fact that we're even talking
about this is kind of confusing
to me
