00:00thad uh we were throwing around ideas of how to get the offense better trading pitching uh
00:20take it from our strength so two-parter here which pitcher would have the most return value
00:26for the rangers at the trade deadline and i know they're not going to trade to grom but
00:30considering age and contract and injury history second dummy john what is his value on the trade
00:36market well i think i think so on on the surface i think he is still regarded qualitatively as
00:43if not the best pitcher in the game one of the best pitchers so qualitatively every one of us
00:51who is using you know advanced analytics scouting systems scouts eyes all of those things
00:58triangulate to suggest jacob de grom is one of if not the best qualitative pitcher in the game
01:05now he comes with a few other factors that have to be considered um you know certainly the age
01:11is is a factor certainly as his history recently of injuries is of concern and then so too is the
01:18salary you know that that is that is going to be a factor as teams view him moving forward but i
01:24would say that teams that can weather the contract have to look at him and say he's not only somebody
01:31who can help us get to the playoffs but when in the playoffs he has the ability to not only neutralize
01:36but dominate the best lineups in the game and he would do it pitching game one of a playoff series
01:41that is worth incredible value to teams they're going to have to weigh that against the contract they're
01:47going to have to weigh that against injury risk but they're probably teams out there that would view
01:51that as a very positive game because it will meaningfully enhance their championship odds not
01:59only their ability to get there but their their ability to win a championship and that's what we're
02:03all hunting
