00:00All right, so listen, let me say this, that what made yesterday so amazing, at least for

00:08me as a fan, is that you've got the Dodgers in first place and we all know about all their

00:14injuries and we all know that the expectations that they have.

00:18And then you've got the Padres who don't have anywhere near those expectations, okay?

00:23But they are in it and they're going to be buyers rather than sellers because of the

00:27way the second half of the season started.

00:29And you've got two teams that are both battling to make trades for arms.

00:34And there was one trade that was made yesterday where the Padres had gotten a pitcher from

00:38Miami and according to the reports, the Dodgers were also in on potentially trying to trade

00:45for this guy.

00:47And they just kept kind of raising the stakes.

00:49So the Padres had to put in more and more to get the guy that they wanted.

00:53Alex, let's go through everything that the Padres and the Dodgers did yesterday.

00:59How about we pay attention to the ones that matter for the Dodgers real quick?

01:05Cause you know, 10 minutes before the trade deadline, I was like, dude, they're really

01:08not going to do anything other than get a broken Tommy Edmond like in, in a, in an unreliable

01:13middle reliever.

01:14Like, are they really not going to add to this starting rotation?

01:17And then of course the Dodgers being the Dodgers, they get the big fish and they get clarity

01:22from the Tigers.

01:23Who's so far this season, seven and five to nine, five ERA, 133 strikeouts to 19 walks,

01:30five and one through June and July.

01:32So he's really stepped it up here.

01:34And now the Dodgers who we all assume needed starting pitching, got starting pitching.

01:38But that guy flarity.

01:39I mean, I'm not exactly sitting around watching Detroit Tigers baseball all the time.

01:44So I don't want to act like I'm equivalent of them getting Max Scherzer.

01:47No, it's not.

01:48A couple of years ago.

01:49Right.

01:50I think he got clarity a few years ago.

01:52I'm talking like five years ago.

01:54He's like a Cy Young Kennedy.

01:55I think he finished fourth in the Cy Young in 2019.

01:58You'd have to fact check me, but I'm like 99.9% sure.

02:02And then in the last, like last season, I think he was in St. Louis and in Baltimore

02:07and he did, he was a deadline day deal to Baltimore.

02:12And he was awful once he got to Baltimore for their final stretch, didn't even start

02:15a game in the playoffs for them.

02:16So there you go.

02:17So you get what I'm saying is that like five years ago, he was a Cy Young candidate.

02:22Then last year, he's not really doing that great.

02:26And he gets traded.

02:27And to your point, he doesn't really perform for Baltimore, but he's made a massive comeback

02:31in his career this year.

02:33And the Dodgers went out and said, we need an arm.

02:36He was the best guy available.

02:37They went out and got him because you don't know what's going to happen because like you

02:40look at tonight's game, Padres Dodgers for the Padres is Dylan cease coming off of a

02:44no hitter.

02:45So for the Padres, it's a, it's Clayton Kershaw who's coming off of his, what did I say?

02:52What did I say?

02:53Oh, you said Padres again.

02:54It's all good.

02:55Sorry for the Padres.

02:56It's Dylan cease coming off of a no hitter for the Dodgers.

02:58It's Clayton Kershaw coming off of his first start of the entire season where he only gave

03:01you four innings.

03:02So advantage San Diego tonight.

03:05Ooh, listen, this is a big matchup.

03:09I know Clayton Kershaw isn't what he used to be, but that name and that color that still

03:13resonates that still gets people to the television and the LNC is coming off a no hitter.

03:19This is a big pitching matchup and now you added to what happened last night.

03:23The atmosphere for this game, it's going to be in the air.

03:26And I would assume that I would assume that a lot of the guys they got yesterday or the

03:30day before or should be in town tonight and they're going to need it because the Padres

03:34went through a lot of bullpen yesterday.

03:36So which has been, you know, I know people disagree with, I didn't think it was their

03:39biggest need and I know they, they needed to help that bullpen.

03:44I mean, Robert Suarez has come in and I believe 13 non-save situations this season.

03:48That's not ideal.

03:49So now they really did bolster their, their bullpen.

03:52They got Jason Adam.

03:54They got Tanner Scott, who was the Marlins all-star and that's what I was talking about.

03:57Yeah.

03:58Yeah.

03:59So this is what it looked since the beginning of the baseball season, March, February, spring

04:03training.

04:04This is every player that's come in and every prospect slash player that's gone out so far

04:10for the Padres this season.

04:12Look at this list.

04:13It's not edited at all.

04:15I know it feels like years ago, but Dylan cease was acquired in March.

04:19Louisa dies was acquired in April and I didn't, you know, sync up the, the, the trades to

04:24who they got for who I'm just telling you, this is everybody that the projects have got

04:28Jason Adam, the relief pitcher, Tanner Scott, Brian Hoeing's a relief pitcher, Brandon Lockridge

04:32is like a triple a guy and Martin Perez, who's this year's Rich Hill.

04:36In my opinion, I don't think you're going to do much, but Hey, they got the guy.

04:38He can start some games if you need them, but, but look at the other side of the screen,

04:42the outgoing side, you see the number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

04:50Those prospects to 13 are gone.

04:53You have one and then you have 14 through 23 because after that, but bottom line is

05:00this.

05:01The Padres have traded away their entire minor league system to try and win.

05:06Now we thought they were aggressive when they went and got Juan Soto two years ago.

05:10They have nothing left as of today in their system.

05:14Oh, nothing.

05:15They're willing to trade.

05:16They're not going to trade.

05:17Correct.

05:18They're not going to trade debris.

05:19Other than that, they're got nothing.
