Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: WVUAFM TUSCALOOSA hi and welcome back to Student Section MLB here on this Monday, November 4th. I'm your host, Luke Torrey, joined by Tyler Harrison, Luke Anderson, Davis, Cornell, and we are here post World Series.
The Dodgers win in five games.
Non competitive. I mean it was actually pretty competitive. But the Yankees forgot how to play baseball.
They handed them two games. I mean, there was a world where the Yankees should have been up three, two going into game six. Yeah, they handed them two games.
You know, it was just, it was a disgusting display at the top of the fifth inning will haunt me forever.
[00:00:52] Speaker B: It will.
[00:00:53] Speaker A: It will haunt me forever. The top of the fifth inning in game five will haunt me forever.
I'm very glad I didn't go to that game because that was the worst Yankee loss of my lifetime.
A 5 nothing lead with your ace absolutely shoving. No, no hitter going into that inning and you come out and it's a five, five.
[00:01:20] Speaker C: Game zero earned runs, by the way.
[00:01:23] Speaker A: Zero earned runs. Garrett Cole had about, I don't know if I didn't write this down. I think 12 and 2/3 innings in the postseason, 13 and a third, like one run, one earned run. And he got, he lost both of those games.
I mean, the Yankees out hit the Dodgers with runners in scoring position. They had more homers. They had better, like, yeah, like I said, better average with runners in scoring position. I mean, the Yankees and the pitching did a great job. They held that awesome, that outstanding deep Dodgers lineup to four runs pretty much a game. I mean, game one, you saw what happened. Game two, I mean game five was a little bit higher, higher scoring. But games two and three that we lost four to two both times.
If you're holding the Dodgers lineup to four runs and you're hitting better than the Dodgers, you would think you're going to win the game, especially if you're the one. See, right. That's what I would think. I was wrong. The Yankees, for they. The what's been killing them all year, came back to kill them in the World Series. They got exposed, they literally got exposed at the highest level. And Joe Kelly, Dodgers, Dodgers pitcher, who by the way hasn't just didn't throw a pitch the entire postseason, has been talking a lot, killing the Yankees.
I'm going to bring up his tweet, but I just want you guys can share your thoughts on the World Series like as a whole. Just, I mean, we can go in a circle. Tyler, if you want to go first. I'm just going to pull up these joke. Joe, Joe Kelly comments Because I want to talk.
[00:02:57] Speaker C: I enjoyed the World Series. I mean, for a casual baseball fan saying a series that ends 4:1, you would think that's a dominance. But like you said, the Yankees out hit the Dodgers and it was pretty sad how the Yankees fell apart. I mean, game one, you have the lead. Well, you have the lead going into the bottom of the eighth to what was it? Two? Nothing. And then the Dodgers tie the game and then they, the Yankees take the lead in the first, in the top of the 10th and then still lose a game two. Jose Trevine I mean, like I said.
[00:03:32] Speaker A: I said this after game one. It's a damn shame that I was a Yankee fan watching that because I lived and died through that entire game. It was the ups, it was the, that was a tremendous baseball game. And I wasn't able to just like take that and like be able to watch a tremendous baseball game because I'm living and dying through the ups and the downs of game one. Because that was ridiculous. I mean, we didn't show up for the first five innings. Stanton hits a towering home run, gives us the lead. We hold the lead until the very last second. And Boone makes the worst managerial decision in World Series, if not baseball history.
[00:04:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, and then Yamamoto dominates.
[00:04:10] Speaker A: Dominates in the second. The only guy that does something is the guy who's about to be a New York Met.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: I don't, I don't think, I don't think so.
[00:04:17] Speaker A: Has Luke smiling over there.
I mean, dude, I pulled up the Joe Kelly on the Yankees Dodgers World Series quote. It was a mismatch from the get go. If we had a playoff re ranking, they might be ranked 8th or 9th best playoff team. You're putting the Padres ahead of them. You're putting the Phillies ahead of them. You're putting the, the Mets ahead of them. You're putting the Braves ahead of them. The Guardians played like, I won't say that word, but the Guardians played better defense and better baseball around. It was a complete mismatch. All we knew is that we had to play regular Dodger baseball. We didn't have to do anything crazy. And we went, we were going to win the World Series. Look at them.
I mean, look at that team. Look at the talent. We go through numerous scouting reports. We pay attention to every single detail. We have a lot of big superstars in our clubhouse, but our superstars also care and aren't lazy and play hard. That's the difference. And the biggest spel. Spectator or separator.
That was the second time he came out and said something. Because he said something a couple days ago, like, right after. Yeah. This was right after Joe Kelly describing kicking the ball all over the field as Yankees baseball and is the pinnacle now.
And he's just. You know, I will say, I don't know how many of you guys are Drake's. Drake fans, but Drake said one time, bench players talking like starters. I hate it.
Yeah. Joe Kelly didn't throw a single pitch in the postseason.
[00:05:48] Speaker C: He's over here.
[00:05:50] Speaker A: Yeah. You threw as many pitches. I threw as many pitches as Joe Kelly threw. And he's talking all that rah rah about the Yankees.
[00:05:57] Speaker C: Meanwhile, you want to know how many rings we all have less than Joe Kelly.
[00:06:00] Speaker A: You know what? True. You know what happened back when Joe Kelly was a part of the Red Sox. He. He hit one of our players, and then he got choke slammed to the ground by Tyler Austin. Tyler Austin. That's who it was.
[00:06:13] Speaker C: I don't like Joe Kelly.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: Joe Kelly liked it.
[00:06:16] Speaker C: I think his crybaby celebration was kind of.
[00:06:17] Speaker A: That was funny. I liked it for that because, you know, I hate the Astros. That was the one thing I was like, you know what, Joe? I'll let that slide.
[00:06:23] Speaker C: That slide.
[00:06:23] Speaker A: But this, like, who do you think you are, bro? You didn't do anything. You didn't do anything. And you're over here trashing the organization like, get out of here.
[00:06:33] Speaker C: He had.
[00:06:33] Speaker A: You have no right.
[00:06:34] Speaker C: He had negative point four WAR this season. Yeah.
[00:06:36] Speaker A: You have no. Literally hurt the team. You did nothing to help the team. And you're over here talking like, you know what? I'm. Let's move on. We can. We can move on to this.
[00:06:48] Speaker B: Luke Yellow.
[00:06:49] Speaker C: Luke Davis.
[00:06:51] Speaker A: Are you on the same page as me, Davis, because you're a Yankee fan.
[00:06:55] Speaker C: That pivoting was the worst inning I've ever watched.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: It's gonna haunt me for life.
[00:06:58] Speaker C: 12 years I've been a Yankees fan. It was horrible.
[00:07:01] Speaker A: It's gonna haunt me for life.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: It was tough. I mean. Yeah, I haven't been here a couple weeks. It's good to be back. I don't want to, like, recap. I'm sure you guys talked a lot about the. Especially couple games last week, but that first game was awesome. I mean, the first walk off grand slam in World Series history is crazy work. I mean, you brought it up, Luke. I'm sure you talked for 10 minutes about it last show. But the decision to leave Nestor in easily cost them the game. I mean, that was a tough one for sure. That they easily should have won. Especially the fact that they were going into that bot the bottom half up. They needed three outs to win the game. It's not like they needed to hold on to the 11th inning. They should have won that game. Two outs. I mean that's a game you should win. So that was a tough one for sure.
[00:07:43] Speaker C: That's just it. They, they still even had one out. They had one out and then got the MVP out.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: I mean that's crazy.
[00:07:50] Speaker A: So you bring in Nestor, he throws a 95 mile an hour heater right down the middle of town, somehow misses it and then Verdugo makes an incredible play in left field.
[00:07:58] Speaker B: Yeah, the pen. Showtime. He was bad.
[00:08:00] Speaker A: Oh, I wonder what, what, what should we do next? Next walk, let's throw a 92 mile an hour fastball right in the sweet spot for Freddie Freeman.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: No, I want to elaborate on that. Yeah, you first game, Freddie Freeman, he's going to come in clutch. It's Freddie Freeman. Amazing walk off grand slam.
They then proceeded in the next three games, granted he hit a home run on a waste slider. You then proceeded to go, hmm, he hit a grand slam on an inside fastball. Ah, he won't do it again.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean they just kept, they kept throwing that same pitch to him. I mean we talked about like the matchup difference. I actually like this World Series a lot. It's a good refresher from last season. I know sometimes it's hard to watch like the same really, really good teams beat up their whole way through the play playoffs and the trip to the World Series was not very competitive for either team either, which was not as fun to watch. But I mean last season we saw Rangers Diamondbacks and that Rangers team was just so much better than Arizona. And I think that the Yankees and the Dodgers were a lot closer to each other. I mean the games themselves weren't super competitive, but I liked the matchup going in and I think that the Yankees did the best they could after going down 3, 0. They dominated that game four. They should have won that game five and they really could have taken it to LA. I was talking about it before. That was a crazy stat that they kept showing is that no 3, 0 start to a World Series has even made a game six. So even if the Yankees went back to la, this, this World Series could have been a success for them. Even if they lost that game six, like they could have defied odds even just making the trip back LA fight.
[00:09:30] Speaker A: I mean and what I really want to talk about, although, yeah, we were down 3, 030 after Judge had a. Judge had some good at bats. In Game 3. Game 4, he had better at bats. And you were like, okay. It's kind of seeming like he's going to get going now. Yeah. First inning, game five, it's a two run homer. You're like, okay, everyone's fired up. And then right after Jazz homer, it's amazing how the Yankees entire team is just Aaron Judge, how he is playing. It is contagious because then you see him drop the ball in the fifth inning and everything goes bad. But right away when he hits, it's like, oh, whoa, the guy's back on everybody, everybody's back up and we're all fired up again. He hits that two run homer in the first inning. Right away, Jazz, we keep adding, we keep adding. We keep adding. We're up five nothing. That John Judge had a three run pop. He was up for was first and second, two outs and he popped up to the wall. That ball leaves. That game is over. I mean, eight nothing.
The point is, the Yankees were living and dying by how Aaron Judge was playing. And I mean, it was literally like you could see it just by watching. I mean, like I said, he was struggling. The offense wasn't really getting going besides Stanton and Soto. Finally Judge starts to get like he's better with the chasing and he's having better at bats and he starts walking. It's like, okay, he's getting the hang of it. And then Game 5, he homers and everyone's like, oh, okay, he was on that. He crushed that oppo. Everybody's locked in now. Right away, Jazz homers. And we keep adding on, we keep adding on. Whatever.
[00:11:04] Speaker C: It's one the next.
[00:11:04] Speaker A: Yeah, it was the next inning, I think whatever it was, we're back on. And then that fifth inning comes and we fall. Judge drops that ball and the. Everybody falls apart. And that was it.
[00:11:15] Speaker C: Even with the fall apart, there were three errors. And even after three errors, it was 5:1.
And then Garrett Cole throws a middle in fastball. Full count to Freddie Freeman.
[00:11:26] Speaker A: Single up the middle. Yeah.
[00:11:28] Speaker C: And then Teoscar Hernandez, first of all, Freddie Freeman scored from first on a hit to the wall in Yankee Stadium.
[00:11:35] Speaker A: Insane.
[00:11:35] Speaker C: He was playing with what? Rib cartilage? Broken.
[00:11:38] Speaker A: Broken.
[00:11:38] Speaker C: Broken ankle. Maybe a concussion. Lord knows it's.
[00:11:43] Speaker A: He's a really hard guy to hate. I mean, his story, his son's. His son's story.
Even as a Yankee fan, after he just literally destroyed us, I worry about his father.
I can't hate. I Can't hate him.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: I mean, he just. A guy had one of, like, the best World Series ever.
[00:12:02] Speaker A: Like, everything.
Injuries.
[00:12:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:07] Speaker A: Like, doing all that with all that going on, it's not easy. So I do want to, you know, give him his props, but I know that hurt you. Not really. I mean, it's different. It's different than Altuve walking it off. It's different, honestly. That one's. That one hurt more.
[00:12:23] Speaker C: I hate that that was an AL game. I'm an NL fan, and I just hated that. I hated Altuve doing that.
[00:12:28] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, he knew what was coming.
[00:12:30] Speaker C: But no one talks about. Ohtani had a worst World Series.
[00:12:35] Speaker A: Aaron Judge, and nobody talks about it.
[00:12:37] Speaker C: Because he had less strikeouts.
[00:12:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: No, he didn't. There was a point, or there was a point where it was 21 for Ohtani and 24, judge. That was the last I checked. And I think that was after game three, and then Judge kind of got it together. Game four and game five. So I would assume Ohtani had more. I can pull that up right now. Let me.
[00:12:57] Speaker C: It may be. It may be switched by the end of the series.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: Either way, the two.
[00:13:03] Speaker C: I would say soon. Like, soon to be. It's obvious they're the MVPs, right.
I don't like that. I like the Series, but I want to see the best players perform well. I mean, like.
I mean, good for Tommy. Ed, man. Freddie Freeman, one of the best players, performed well. Mookie led the Dodgers and RBIs this postseason. He played really well for the Yankees. You have. Aaron Stanton showed up, like, if you get a full season, that was a.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: Historic, historic run by Stanton. I mean, he was unbelievable.
[00:13:32] Speaker C: If Stanton plays next season, all season, like he did this Postseason, we're getting 27, 2017, Stanton back.
[00:13:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that it's. It is nice to see, because last season, the Dodgers, I mean, they were so bad in that nlds. And part of it was because I think Moogie Betts, like, didn't record a hit, and Freddie Freeman had, like, one hit. They played so bad in that series, and just to see them play so well this whole postseason. And Freddie Freeman, like we said, had one of the best World Series ever on a broken ankle. And Mookie Betts, every game was playing well. I mean, those two guys really had a chip on their shoulder, and I mean, they definitely. The whole postseason, I mean, they were playing like they wanted to win it. So that was cool to see for sure.
[00:14:20] Speaker A: Yeah. So Ohtani did have more strikeouts than Judge did. Judge. Judge hit.184 with three home runs, nine RBIs, 11 walks, 20 strikeouts. Ohtani hit.230 with three home runs, 10 RBIs, 22 strikeouts.
[00:14:43] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: So he had two more strikeouts than Judge did.
[00:14:46] Speaker C: Okay, well, I just got bad news, Joe. Joe Jimenez, one of our better relief pitchers, is getting cartilage repaired in his knee. He could be out 8 to 12 months. So 2024, Braves striking it. Man, I need January to hurry up, dude. Goodness.
[00:15:02] Speaker A: Well, I mean, that the World Series took me. I mean, I'm not over it, obviously. It's gonna haunt me for a very long time, even next year. It's gonna haunt you, watching the Yankees and. Yeah, seriously. I mean, even. Even after we win another one, it'll still haunt me forever. I mean, that fifth inning, it's pretty much all I think about. That's all I've thought about. You know, how hard it is to, like, focus on a test that you have when that just happened last week.
[00:15:34] Speaker C: It's how. I mean, it's how I felt in game one of the double header against the Mets.
[00:15:38] Speaker A: No, it's different. It's different. It's not the same. It's. It's not the same. It is not the same. Game five of the World Series, you're at five nothing. The fifth inning with Garrett Cole on the mound.
That is not the same.
[00:15:50] Speaker C: It's how I felt when Freddie Freeman hit a grand slam in game three of the World Series for the Braves in 20. And we still lost that game after going up six nothing.
[00:16:01] Speaker A: I didn't like.
[00:16:01] Speaker C: We still won that world. I'm sorry. Yankees fans are going to be thinking about that game until opening day on March 27th.
[00:16:08] Speaker A: They'll be thinking far, far past that. Far past that. I will be thinking about that until the day that I leave.
[00:16:14] Speaker C: I thought you were going to say March 2027. I was like, that's about right.
[00:16:18] Speaker A: March of maybe 2087. It's more like it.
[00:16:21] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:16:21] Speaker B: The day I've won, like, five more rings.
[00:16:25] Speaker C: Yeah. This decade.
[00:16:27] Speaker A: And look at this. So this tweet that just. Just talking Yanks just tweeted, Right.
Dave Roberts was interviewed. He said, quote, I will tell you this now publicly. I was so afraid to come back to Los Angeles for a game six.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, why wouldn't he be? Especially if they lost game five.
[00:16:44] Speaker A: If game five continued the way that it was supposed to.
[00:16:47] Speaker B: They lose that game five nothing or.
[00:16:48] Speaker A: Five one or continue. I mean, they were rolled over. If we get out of that bases loaded Jam. If, if Rizzo goes over to first base and we are out of that base load, they are rolling over and dying. That is the end of the game right there. If they have bases loaded, down five, nothing, and they score zero after those errors, they are rolling over and dying. That is the end of the game right there. And then you. And then you're like, whoa, okay, a little weird now. You go back to la.
[00:17:13] Speaker C: Two dominant wins in a row.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: Now the pressure's on. And if we win that, it's like, whoa, Game seven, three zero comeback. They start panicking big time. Like, that could have been dangerous. But, you know, Aaron Judge dropped the ball.
But, but. All right. We talked a lot and I'm sure some more thoughts will come back about the World Series. But, you know, now it is the off season, so we, after this break, we're going to have to break. After this break, we're going to talk, you know, some qualifying offers, some free agency, some opportunity. What we think, what team's going to approach. Like, we'll get to it right after this. Small, messy.
WVUAFM Tuscaloosa all right, welcome back to Student Section MLB here on this Monday, November 4th, the week after the World Series has concluded. And today, couple signings. Eric Garrett Cole, who originally opted out. Excuse me.
Of his current deal with the Yankees.
It was originally said that the Yankees would have to add another year on the end of his contract for him to come back and remain a Yankee. But the Yankees surprisingly were like, you know what? Nah, like, we're not going to do that. You're 34 now, right? He's. Or, yeah, he's 30. He's going to be 34.
[00:18:58] Speaker C: He's 34.
[00:18:59] Speaker A: He's 34 now and it's already a four year, $144 million deal. You're basically useless at 39. We're not going to give you another year. So he was like, well, damn, like, I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave. So he was kind of at like a standstill. So he now has accepted original deal that he opted out of, which was four years, 144 million. So he does remain with the Yankees as we all cheer.
But moving on, there were 20 or there were 13 qualifying offers sent out to players. I doubt any of them.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: Yeah, none of them will get accepted at all.
[00:19:40] Speaker A: Soto got one.
Nobody's gonna.
[00:19:43] Speaker C: Willia Damez, Shawn Mania.
[00:19:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Christian Walker. Nobody's gonna accept it.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: But.
[00:19:48] Speaker A: So now let's move on. I do want to say it's gonna be hard if Juan Soto becomes a Met, because I did see somewhere that Cohen is not going to be outbid by anyone. So unless Soto takes a pay cut elsewhere or takes less money elsewhere, he's going to be a Met.
[00:20:10] Speaker C: I don't want to see it. For the love of God.
[00:20:12] Speaker A: You and me both.
[00:20:13] Speaker C: I had to deal with Juan Soto on the Nationals.
[00:20:16] Speaker A: Yeah. It's not for years.
[00:20:18] Speaker B: You're.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: You're gonna have the best year of your life, Luke, because I'll tell you.
[00:20:21] Speaker B: This was the best nine years.
[00:20:22] Speaker A: This was the. Yeah. The best. Whatever it is.
Fifteen years, Whatever it is. I. I'll tell you, this was the most fun Yankee team I watched in my entire life. There was no team that had the fight that they had. And it's a. It's a shame it ended the way that it did, but I would love for Juan Soto to remain in the Bronx for the rest of his career. And I think it's Yankees or Mets. I'm seeing the Dodgers could be a fit. He's not going to the Dodgers, I tell you that. He's not going to the Dodgers.
[00:20:51] Speaker C: Send him to the Marlins.
[00:20:53] Speaker A: But the ones I did say today, I did see today on Twitter or X. Sorry.
Soto's uncle said that he really, really liked the Bronx. Like, he really. He liked what he had going on, I think.
[00:21:06] Speaker C: I think the Yankees are the best.
[00:21:08] Speaker B: Fit for him, 100%.
[00:21:09] Speaker A: I mean, he said it right when he got there. He said, it feels like home. I mean, he's from the Dominican Republic. The population of Dominican people in the Bronx is very, very, very high.
[00:21:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: So, I mean, he said right when he got there, he's like, it feels like home here. It's like, I'm. He's not going to go to the Daughters. He already voiced that. He. He didn't like being on the west coast because it's so far from the Dominican Republic.
So. I mean, the queens are 20 minutes away.
[00:21:35] Speaker C: Yeah. Not like.
[00:21:36] Speaker A: Not like. But it's going to come down to the Yankees and the Mets.
[00:21:39] Speaker C: But, you know, if he comes to Atlanta, that's way closer.
[00:21:41] Speaker A: It's not happening. But, yeah, we have a right for one. The one thing I did, I want to just say off the bat, before we get into any. I just want to drop my wish list.
My wish list is to bring Juan Soto back.
[00:21:56] Speaker C: Yeah. And you're getting Pete Alonso to bring in Christian Walker.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: Oh, I'd rather Christian Walker.
[00:22:01] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: Than Pete Alonso. I love that. I don't love Peter Alonso. I Don't know why I was about to say that. I don't like Pete Alonso. No, no disrespect. He's a great player and he performed at the highest stage of the playoffs. For some reason, I have never liked him.
[00:22:13] Speaker C: Him.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Just no disrespect. I've just never liked Pete Alonzo. So I don't really want another thing. I've seen Vlad, who has voiced his opinion many times of his hatred towards the Yankees, and now that's saying, oh, we're gonna go trade for Vlad. Like, no, no, he would get. I want Christian Walker.
[00:22:30] Speaker C: His house in Toronto would get burnt if he went from Toronto to the Yankees.
[00:22:36] Speaker A: Yeah, you're not wrong.
[00:22:37] Speaker C: He's a great guy. He's a good kid. But. Oh, for the love of God.
[00:22:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:22:41] Speaker A: That's how to burn a legacy. But. But that's another thing I was saying. I was talking to my grandpa because he's a Mets fan. I was. Juan Soto, if he goes to Mets, would become the most hated and the most loved man in New York at the same time. I mean, seriously, Yankees would buy like.
[00:22:56] Speaker C: Mets home season tickets just to boo him.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: I don't know about that. I guarantee best believe come the Subway Series.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: Subway Series. No kidding.
[00:23:08] Speaker A: Oh, my God, the booze he would get in New York in the Bronx.
[00:23:12] Speaker C: You better hope there aren't any foul balls over near that right field wall, because they will rip his arm off. You think they did that to Mookie, by the way?
[00:23:21] Speaker A: That was the best thing I've ever seen, ever.
[00:23:23] Speaker C: That was so trash.
[00:23:24] Speaker A: I know all the baseball world would hate that. I love it, I love it. I love it. The second I saw that, I was like, this dude's gonna. That he just saved the season. And right after that's when we kind of turned up. Like, right after that's when we turned up.
[00:23:37] Speaker C: I think it was a curse.
[00:23:38] Speaker A: I was like, dude, wait, he just saved our season. And did you see. See Gronk. Rob Gronkowski was like, oh, that's my buddy. Like, yeah, he was on the club hockey. Yeah, that's. He was on the club hockey team in Arizona when I played football there. Like, that's my buddy. Like, Andrew Capalga or whatever his name was. I was. Or like, Austin. I was like, of course. It makes perfect sense that that Rob Gronkowski's buddy was the guy who tried to rip the ball out of Mookie Betts's hand. It makes perfect sense. But moving.
Yeah. So obviously the big names in free agency Juan Soto, Corbin Burns, Santander. Santander, who I would love to be in. He's a good power guy, but dude.
[00:24:19] Speaker C: He met like 211. He had 40 home runs, but he did not like it was either.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: It was home run, 40 homers.
[00:24:25] Speaker B: He was top five in AL and home runs.
[00:24:27] Speaker C: I thought he was top three.
[00:24:28] Speaker A: I can't wait for the day Brent Rucker's a Yankee.
[00:24:31] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm trying to get Gold Spring is a free agent, but that's old.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: He's not good anymore.
I really don't know who wants Paul Goldschmidt right now.
[00:24:41] Speaker A: I mean, so wait, are you guys going to move Vientos to first base.
[00:24:45] Speaker B: If they don't sign Alonso? Yeah, that's. That's like the. The two options they have right now is they're going to either of course, re sign Pete Alonso, or they were planning on moving Vientos to first and then have it changing up the infield because Luis could play the whole season next year. They have Ronnie Mauricio coming back from injury. They still have Jeff Mc Neil, who had a much better second half. So hopefully can be like.300 average control through.
[00:25:13] Speaker A: When do you know or.
[00:25:14] Speaker B: I know they have him through to this next season at least, but it's. It's winding down. It's like the next season and maybe one more age, so. And yeah, he's. Of course he's getting older. They're gonna move off of him at some point.
[00:25:25] Speaker A: Tune him with some of the young guys, right?
[00:25:27] Speaker B: Yeah, for sure. And then obviously there have been reports about if the Mets don't sign Alonzo, they could move Vientos to first and sign Bregman. They could also move Vientas to the designated hitter because there's no chance, at least I hope. And I don't think they have interest. I don't think they're going to resign J.D. martinez. I don't think they should. He's older and he fell off a cliff in September when they needed him most. So I would not recommend resigning him. So there's a lot of other spots Vientos can move to. But also Vientos played a really good third base as well towards like the second half of the season last year I was really worried about his defense. He was really bad. And this season, especially when also because they still have Brett Beatty too. They still want Brett Beatty to play in the majors. So Brett Beatty was getting decent defensively and Vientos was not very good. So when Vientos got called up, I was really Worried, but he played a really good defensive third, so I wouldn't even mind keeping him at third base. But obviously, as a Mets fan, especially after that October, I really want the Mets to resign Pete Alonzo and keep him at first. And then in terms of the designated hitter spot, I don't know who they would sign. Obviously the Mets are like the front runner right now to take Giancarlo off Soto. I don't think I want to trade for that 40 million.
[00:26:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I was going to ask you guys. I. Does Giancarlo Stanton. I think he had zero trade value prior to the postseason. He can't run. He's like literally a piece of glass. But I mean, a team, a contender. Who needs a dh?
[00:26:56] Speaker C: I mean, remember.
[00:26:57] Speaker A: Remember how he did that raise his value at all that. That postseason that he had?
[00:27:02] Speaker C: I mean, you remember the show we had during spring training where he hit three home runs and like, caught you off guard and man, it's one of them seasons and then he's crap for the first four months and then he performs a little in September and then shows out in October. I.
I don't know. I'm.
I've been trying to listen to the conversation. I'm trying to look at like sneaky pickups that people have. Like, I'm seeing Willie Adams, who's under 30, he's a free agent. Alex Bregman who had. Of course, Alex bregman who had 8.6 war.
[00:27:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:33] Speaker C: This season.
[00:27:33] Speaker A: Crazy because he. He was. Started off horrible.
[00:27:36] Speaker B: Yeah, his. He was so bad the first, like.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: Month and a half of the year. He was like, any of us could have been out there putting up the same stats that he was putting up. I mean, it was disgusting.
[00:27:46] Speaker C: I mean, I'm seeing Tyler O'Neal, who led the Red Sox in home runs.
[00:27:49] Speaker B: Did a really, really good contract season this year.
Bounce back from the past couple seasons. Like, he was so much better this year. He.
[00:27:58] Speaker C: He's only 30.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: I swear. He's like 58.
Seriously, you get like a really good four year deal. I think for sure.
[00:28:06] Speaker C: I'm trying to. Other ones I'm seeing. I didn't know.
[00:28:08] Speaker A: Tay.
[00:28:08] Speaker C: Oscar was a free agent.
[00:28:10] Speaker B: Harrison Bader.
[00:28:11] Speaker C: Harrison Bader is a free agent. Yeah, I see Nathan Evaldi, but he's a little old. Jack Flaherty is a free agent. Do we think nobody wants to sign him? No one wants him.
[00:28:19] Speaker A: He's horrible.
[00:28:21] Speaker C: So he was good on the title.
[00:28:23] Speaker B: The Dodgers will just re. No. Well, because the Dodgers have Ohtani pitching next year. They don't need.
[00:28:28] Speaker A: I have just been constantly thinking about this past week is like the Dodgers are so good. Ohtani hasn't even thrown a single pitch.
[00:28:38] Speaker C: For the Forgot he was a pitcher.
[00:28:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:40] Speaker C: Oh man.
[00:28:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:42] Speaker C: Doesn't he have like a crazy good splinker?
[00:28:44] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: I mean yeah.
[00:28:45] Speaker A: His splitter is like a 94 mile hour splitter, bro.
[00:28:49] Speaker B: So stupid.
Tyler, you're all of us.
[00:28:53] Speaker A: Tyler, you are all of us stupid man.
[00:28:55] Speaker C: Dad gum it.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: And they gotta hope Walter Bueller's not gonna suck. So they're gonna have four guys who are just like all star level. Yeah, exactly. Glass now Yamamoto is going to be better. Otani.
[00:29:04] Speaker A: They'll go sign rookie Sasaki too in the offseason.
[00:29:07] Speaker B: Does I mean there's just because they can. They got five guys who are number one or two starters on any team in MLB on the same rotation and they just won the World Series. And they have Otani and they have Mookie Betts and they have Freddie Freeman. Oh my goodness.
[00:29:20] Speaker C: We get to re sign Charlie Morton.
[00:29:23] Speaker B: Holy cow. How. Why is he not retiring though? He should.
[00:29:26] Speaker C: He's getting up. No, we'll probably sign Verlander who's 42 and then Scherzer who's 40 and Morton is 41.
[00:29:32] Speaker B: Yeah. The Mets could just bring both those guys back. It's like the Jackson Jets. Yeah.
[00:29:35] Speaker A: Just bring bring over all the the.
[00:29:38] Speaker C: Good old guys for their Achilles to explode.
[00:29:40] Speaker B: Power of friendship. I just bring the guys who all played with each other and here's what I think.
[00:29:45] Speaker A: The jets are actually where people just I know we're baseball show like it's just where guys go to die. Brett Favre, Danian Tomlinson, Aaron Rogers.
[00:29:54] Speaker B: I don't know why anyone wants to go there though.
[00:29:57] Speaker A: It's so funny. It's a big market.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:00] Speaker A: You when you have the opportunity to flip around a franchise no matter what sport it is and something looks promising, looks enticing. Looks like hey, we might actually be able to do this thing. It's intriguing. You want to be part of that team that flips an entire franchise from worst to first. That'd be awesome to be a part of. And Rogers is for example, has just. He's completed enough in his career to the point where he can take that risk. And maybe Devontae has too. I don't know. But power of friendship going on New.
[00:30:32] Speaker C: York back to baseball I'm seeing now hear me out. You remember. You remember in 20, what was it? 2019. Matt Carpenter made a stint with the Yankees or was it 2019.
[00:30:41] Speaker B: That was like, two years ago.
[00:30:43] Speaker A: He was Barry bomb.
[00:30:44] Speaker C: I know.
[00:30:44] Speaker B: He's really good.
[00:30:45] Speaker C: You know, he's a free agent.
[00:30:47] Speaker A: I don't want to bring.
[00:30:48] Speaker C: Okay, never mind.
[00:30:49] Speaker A: He will not perform. That was. That was a fluke. I don't know what happened. Who took over his body, but it was not Matt Garbage.
[00:30:58] Speaker C: What about. What about old man Santana or even Joey Gallo?
[00:31:01] Speaker A: Santana. If we could bring Santana in for first base for cheap, I wouldn't be mad at that. You get a Gold Glove.
[00:31:07] Speaker C: He literally just won the Gold Glove at first base.
[00:31:10] Speaker A: I wouldn't be mad at that. I know he's old. He can give us some power at the first base position. And if we bring Soto back and bring in, like, a guy like Santander for left field, that's a guy that we can afford to have at first base. And then I don't know who goes to set second. Maybe it's Roger. Roger Garaya's time. Bring him up from the. From the.
[00:31:32] Speaker C: You don't.
[00:31:33] Speaker A: No, no. If we bring back Soto, he's not. He's not going to be.
[00:31:37] Speaker B: Or that's when they move Jazz to second. And so they could.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: No.
[00:31:40] Speaker C: Did John Birdie.
[00:31:41] Speaker A: I will never root for Alex Bregman. I. I hated Marcus Strowman prior to this year. I got to root. Inform, because if you're in pinstripes, I'm going to root for you. If Alex Bregman is a Yankee, I will not root for him. I promise you.
[00:31:53] Speaker C: Get out to bay with that money.
[00:31:55] Speaker A: I won't watch the team.
I have watched every Yankee game since I can remember of my entire life. Like, since I got this passion for baseball and it was at a young age, I've watched every Yankee game that I physically could watch. If Altuve were to hypothetically be a Yankee, I would not watch.
I would not watch.
[00:32:16] Speaker C: I've tried to watch every Braves game, but Bali Sports shut off for all of this season.
[00:32:21] Speaker A: Yeah. What's going on with them?
[00:32:23] Speaker B: I mean, they're bankrupt.
[00:32:24] Speaker C: Oh, no. I have to buy another package. Package?
[00:32:25] Speaker B: Really? Yeah.
[00:32:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:32:27] Speaker A: We need two now. It's no longer yes Network. Everything's coming together. It's. It's Gotham City Sports.
[00:32:33] Speaker B: It's what?
[00:32:34] Speaker A: Gotham City Sports. So it's the actual name.
[00:32:36] Speaker B: It's literally.
[00:32:37] Speaker A: It's literally the Yankees, the Mets, the Giants, the Jets. Both hockey teams, like the soccer teams, but the Nets, the Knicks. It's every team. Even the Bills. I think every single team in New York State that's a professional team is all on the same network, and it's going to be Gotham City Sports and I'm going to try to get an internship with them summer.
[00:32:57] Speaker B: So that's like, better, though, because I'm.
[00:32:59] Speaker C: Trying to work with the Red Birds, but I'm not a Cardinals fan.
[00:33:04] Speaker A: I mean. All right, well, what do you, who do you guys think?
Assuming everybody denies the qualifying offer, where do you see everybody going in free agency? We got about 10, 10 minutes here, actually. Let's go to break first. We'll go to break first and then we'll come back and that's a loaded question.
Let you guys think on it. All right.
WVUAFM Tuscaloosa and welcome back to Student Section MLB here on this November Monday, November 4th. All right, let's jump into some free agency predictions.
Juan Soto.
[00:34:01] Speaker C: Yankee.
[00:34:02] Speaker A: Yankee.
[00:34:03] Speaker C: I think he just resigned.
[00:34:04] Speaker A: Honestly, as much as I hope for him to be Yankee, I'm predicting he's going to be a Met. I do. There's, Cohen's not going to lose a battle.
[00:34:14] Speaker C: So all four of us can agree he's going to just stay in New York somewhere.
[00:34:17] Speaker A: Staying in New York, 100%. He is staying in New York. As I, I think right now it's a, it's a coin flip if he stays with the Yankees or goes to the Mets.
[00:34:26] Speaker B: It's.
[00:34:27] Speaker A: I, I would literally say it's 50, 50.
[00:34:28] Speaker C: Keep him in the Al, please.
[00:34:30] Speaker A: I would love to. Tyler. I would love to.
[00:34:33] Speaker C: Please.
I, I don't even want to look, look at Luke right now.
[00:34:36] Speaker A: We know what you're.
[00:34:37] Speaker C: I don't even want to look at it.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: Well, the thing is, it's actually like, it's actually really interesting because I really would, I mean, obviously I would love to have one soda. I'm not going to go on, on air and say I don't want one soda on my baseball team. But I think that the Mets have a lot of other priorities, especially with pitching, and I don't know how much they're willing to spend. I would much rather have Corbin Burns than Juan Soto in this free agency and I don't know if they're willing to spend enough money to get both of them. Obviously, I would love Juan Soto, but I know that Juan Soto, I mean, well, he said that he just wants to go whoever's going to offer him the most money. And there's no doubt the Mets are going to offer him a blank check, whatever he wants. But, but if, if it means Juan Soto means sacrificing, resigning Pete Alonso and getting Corbin Burns and maybe getting Someone else like Blake Snell or another like middle high tier free agent, then I'm a little torn. So I think that because the Mets have a lot of other different ways they can go about free agency, I think that he actually will end up a Yankee because for the Yankees I think it's so clear cut. I think it's sign wants. But for the Mets, they have Pete Alonso, they need to resign and they have a lot of other guys that they can go out and target. So I. And that way I think Soto is going to be a Yankee. Obviously I would love for him to be a Met. He's one of the best players in baseball. I mean he's unreal. So I think that that would be awesome. But I think that he's going to go back to the Yankees.
[00:36:04] Speaker A: And just off that I want to read this tweet. This is. Yeah, this is what I saw yesterday. So developing sources have indicated that to us that the Mets currently have extremely high odds of signing Juan Soto as Steve Kennedy Cohen, quote, loves Soto and is willing to make, is willing to offer him whatever is necessary to make him a New York Met. That is per New York Mets news. I don't know if that's really reliable.
[00:36:30] Speaker B: But I mean it's, it's not like I wouldn't doubt that. Obviously come, obviously the past, ever since he took over as owner, he's been shelling out money and obviously signing Juan Soto would not backfire at all. I mean, I find it really hard to believe that that could ever backfire. I mean he hasn't been injured. He's performed every year. He's only what, 24 or something? 25.
[00:36:52] Speaker A: He just turned 26.
[00:36:53] Speaker B: Okay. So I mean there are no red flags assigning Soto.
[00:36:57] Speaker A: This says projections estimate that Soto's final contract will range from 12 to 14 years and 600 to 700 million. Again, Steve Cohen and the Mets front office are committed to giving Soto whatever he wants.
[00:37:10] Speaker B: And they need someone at right field too because Marte is old and he left, Bader left. I mean they need, they need outfield help too. So I mean signing one Soto does make a lot of sense.
[00:37:19] Speaker A: Sense.
All right, let's move on. Pete Alonzo or we didn't even get your. Yeah, I think he's going back to the room. Okay, that's what I thought.
Okay, Pete Alonzo, I'll let you start. Let's, let's assume he doesn't come back to the Mets. Where is Pete Alonso going? Because I have no idea.
[00:37:39] Speaker C: Where are we assuming are we assuming all the free agents go to a different team other than.
[00:37:43] Speaker A: Or Soto. I was just saying because that's kind of like a. I don't know. Maybe. I guess I got. Guess we'll. Let's. Let's just see.
[00:37:48] Speaker B: I mean, yeah, I think that what we talked about a little before too, honestly, like the Yankees could go out and sign Alonzo too, if we don't have.
[00:37:56] Speaker A: So if we don't get Soto, I don't think we would. If we get Soto, I don't think we'd bring in Alonzo too. I don't.
[00:38:01] Speaker B: Yeah, probably not.
[00:38:02] Speaker A: I don't think we can.
[00:38:02] Speaker B: I'm trying to think of teams that could use it for space and that are contending or like decent. Decent market. Maybe Detroit Tigers. I mean, they generally. I saw that. I saw that the Tigers, I mean, they had a really good year this year. Would they be willing to spend money? They still have the Javi Bias contract on the books. They could like defer that money or cut ties and save some money there and sign Pete Alonso. I was also going to say maybe the Chicago Cubs because we were talking about Cody Bellinger before. I mean, they can move Cody Bellinger to outfield. He's been playing first a little, right?
[00:38:37] Speaker A: Or.
[00:38:37] Speaker C: No, no, I think it was mainly outfield this season. I thought he played mainly center field this season.
[00:38:40] Speaker B: Okay. So they can. I mean, the Cubs are a decent team because they went all in this and kind of stunk it up. So maybe they can try again next year. I mean, a funny one that I was thinking of because the first division I thought of for some reason was the Central would be the Pirates. I don't think. I don't think the Pirates would be willing to spend money. But I mean, they have a. They have a young and promising team and Pete Alonso is not particularly old, but I mean, we saw what happened at the end of this year and how the Pirates like spending money and I don't think that's some something that they are willing to do at all. So that would be an interesting one, though.
[00:39:16] Speaker C: I was thinking for Pete Alonso, what if the Diamondbacks just lose Christian Walker and pick up Pete? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I just don't know how much money they spend. I just don't know how much money.
[00:39:27] Speaker A: But why isn't Christian Walker younger than Pete Alonzo? Like, why not bring him.
[00:39:30] Speaker B: Peter Lonzo's better offensive.
[00:39:32] Speaker C: I think Walker. I think Walker's 29. Alonzo's 30. Oh, yeah, no, you're. He's older.
[00:39:37] Speaker B: You're right.
[00:39:37] Speaker C: Christian Walker. Christian Walker is a much better defender. Alonzo is a better bat.
[00:39:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:39:42] Speaker C: Alonzo also is a better power bat. Walker is a better average bet.
[00:39:46] Speaker A: Right.
[00:39:46] Speaker B: The Diamondbacks need power hitters. That's where they almost made the playoffs because they started hitting home runs after the deadline. I mean, they got Josh Bell out of nowhere and that guy started hitting homer after homer for them.
[00:39:57] Speaker A: That dude might be the streakiest player in mlb.
[00:40:02] Speaker C: I want categorical, really funny season.
[00:40:04] Speaker B: It was awesome. It was really.
[00:40:05] Speaker A: He has that year every year.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: Yeah, that's true.
[00:40:07] Speaker A: It's like he's in the most random market. He gets traded, nobody knows. And then you're watching a random game on a Wednesday afternoon, you're like, where.
[00:40:14] Speaker B: Did he even get traded to that? He got cut up.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: He's been on, like, he was on the.
[00:40:20] Speaker B: He's on the Marlins.
[00:40:20] Speaker C: On the Guardians.
[00:40:21] Speaker A: He was on the Marlins. He was on the Guardians. He was on the Pirates. He was on the Garden Pirates too.
[00:40:25] Speaker B: Well, that was before. Not this season though. But yeah, he went to. He went to Cleveland too. And then he made his way to Arizona then.
[00:40:30] Speaker A: He's been around the map, bro.
[00:40:32] Speaker C: He was. He was on the Marlins, then went to Arizona because.
[00:40:34] Speaker B: Wasn't he a free agent or. Well, no, because he's.
[00:40:38] Speaker C: No, he got.
[00:40:38] Speaker B: He got traded to the Marlins last year. He started the season with them. Got traded at the deadline, got cut, moved to another team. I mean, I don't know. Same thing happen with like Tommy Fam.
[00:40:49] Speaker A: There's guys like, that's exactly like Tommy.
[00:40:51] Speaker B: Fam because he was on the Royals.
[00:40:53] Speaker C: Like Jock Peterson on Killing Us too. He's a free agent. Yeah.
[00:40:59] Speaker A: Yep.
He's a beast. I love Jock Peterson. Jocktober.
[00:41:04] Speaker C: He got rid of Solair. I think we could bring Jock back for a pinch hit bat because last time I checked in the NLDS, he had 2 pinch hit October big.
[00:41:15] Speaker B: My worst nightmare is if like, what do you. The Phillies move Harper back to the outfield and sign Alonso.
[00:41:22] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:41:23] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:41:24] Speaker A: They wouldn't do. Stop. Is that. Is that a possibility?
[00:41:27] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:41:27] Speaker A: Did you see that somewhere? You just come up.
[00:41:29] Speaker B: I just made that. I'm like, I'm going through teams in.
[00:41:32] Speaker A: My head and I'm like.
[00:41:33] Speaker B: I was like, no, no, no, no.
[00:41:35] Speaker C: Because if you say that and then it happens and then y'all get Soto dude.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: But they be looking for the trade market, like. Because I saw today that they're trying to get rid of the Phillies.
[00:41:46] Speaker B: Definitely want Vlad the Phillies definitely want Vlad.
[00:41:49] Speaker A: They're looking for.
They're shopping Castellanos and they're shopping Boom boom Stink. My. I've told you guys about my roommate who's a Phillies fan. He's trying to make me believe that the Phillies are going to go get Kyle Tucker from the Astros.
[00:42:05] Speaker C: No way.
[00:42:06] Speaker A: Huh? For including a package with Castellanos and a bunch of problems.
[00:42:10] Speaker B: But why wouldn't they just sign Bregman or something?
[00:42:13] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:42:13] Speaker C: I was think, yeah. If you're getting rid of bone, I.
[00:42:16] Speaker A: Don'T see a world where they give up Kyle Tucker.
[00:42:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:42:18] Speaker A: No, no, no.
[00:42:19] Speaker B: But yeah, also, yeah, because that too.
[00:42:21] Speaker C: The Astros are not in. The Astros are not in rebuild.
[00:42:24] Speaker A: Yeah. They still have Kyle Talkers.
[00:42:28] Speaker B: Like, one of the top teams to sign Pete, too.
[00:42:32] Speaker A: Like.
[00:42:32] Speaker B: Or they're. They're up there, right?
[00:42:34] Speaker C: Who's their first baseman? Is that Yandy Diaz?
[00:42:36] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh.
[00:42:37] Speaker B: No.
[00:42:38] Speaker A: It's Jose Abreu. Yeah.
[00:42:41] Speaker C: No, it's not. He was.
[00:42:42] Speaker B: He got. They don't have him for space.
[00:42:44] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:42:44] Speaker B: I remember that.
[00:42:46] Speaker A: Why you say. Why'd you say that?
Dude, No, I already hate him.
[00:42:53] Speaker C: I hate him.
[00:42:54] Speaker A: I already hate him. And now he's gonna be an ass.
[00:42:56] Speaker C: You hate him because Subway.
[00:42:57] Speaker A: Seriously?
[00:42:59] Speaker B: Back to the Mets. He's going back to the Mets.
[00:43:01] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:43:01] Speaker B: At least I hope.
[00:43:03] Speaker C: Dude, I can hear you in the headphones away from. It's hilarious. Just the far away.
[00:43:09] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Panic.
He cannot be an Astro.
[00:43:14] Speaker B: Please.
[00:43:15] Speaker C: No.
[00:43:17] Speaker A: All right, well, we talked about the two first basement. All right. What do you guys think of William Damis Brave?
[00:43:25] Speaker B: I. I don't know.
[00:43:26] Speaker A: I don't know. I need to look. Like I said, I've been in darkness.
[00:43:31] Speaker C: We're making.
[00:43:32] Speaker A: We're making darkness. Since we lost that game five, I haven't really looked ahead to free agency.
[00:43:37] Speaker C: We're making room to resign Freed. If we don't sign Freed, we sign Willie Adams.
[00:43:42] Speaker A: I could see that.
[00:43:43] Speaker B: I think that he's just gonna resign. I. Like, I. I think that he's their guy in Milwaukee, Right? I don't want to say yeah, because I remember as people were bringing it up a lot when the Mets played them in the wild card about his upcoming free agency. And he's young, so I think that the brewers, they had a really good year. He had a good year. He was good in those. In the playoffs. I just think. I don't think they would want to let him go. I think that they can work out some sort of, like, solid deal. I mean not super max level of money or contract, but like a six year, seven, six year deal. Like something like that. And I think that he would just resign there. There would be a fine place for him to go. I remember last year like the first signing was Aaron Nola resigning with Philly when everyone thought that he was gonna leave. And I said, I said, I said, aaron Noah's gonna stay in Philly. It just makes sense. And this is like kind of the sim a similar thing. I just think it makes sense for him to stay there on some sort of similar deal like that. Like a, a hometown discount like you're talking about with Soto. I think he would take that there and I think it just makes makes sense.
[00:44:46] Speaker C: I'm trying to see if Willie Adamas was, was needed for a. I was.
[00:44:51] Speaker A: Gonna say we can go into a lot more of the free agency, but you know, we have the entire off season.
[00:44:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:44:59] Speaker A: Like what are we going to talk about?
[00:45:00] Speaker B: Burns is a Med. Snell is a Met.
[00:45:03] Speaker A: We're running out of time here. So I.
Next week we'll dive deeper into the free agency.
[00:45:09] Speaker C: You know, moves will happen by our.
[00:45:11] Speaker A: I'm sure some, I don't know big. Any huge moves will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised either, honestly. So hopefully some, some stuff happens. Yeah. But we'll be back next week here on student section mlb. Enjoy your night and tune into Tide Hoops in about five minutes.
