00:00Do you have any thoughts as to why Jaron Duran is taking a big step backwards this year?
00:05And also, what is the likelihood he could be traded?
00:09I don't know why he's taking a step back.
00:12I think it's one of the biggest mysteries because he's healthy.
00:15He was a dynamic.
00:16We can't forget what a dynamic player he was last year.
00:19I think defensively and offensively he has taken a step back.
00:23So I don't have an answer for that.
00:25In terms of is he going to be traded, I think we're going to have to ride this out.
00:29And this is one of the things.
00:31We said this when it comes to the Devons trade, this whole dynamic with this team.
00:35You have about a month.
00:36You have about a month to define what this whole deal, where are you going to land?
00:41Because I don't think there's any question that if you do think that you're going to end up with more wins with this team after doing this deal,
00:50the whole plan was to have a good Jaron Duran at the top of the order.
00:54The whole plan was to have Jaron Duran be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
00:58But you have to figure this out.
01:01And if so, what I'm saying is if they are selling, yeah.
01:04I mean, I think that Jaron Duran could be on the table.
01:06And by the way, guys, I'm ranting and raving about what's here and what's now.
01:11But I do think that you can still salvage this.
01:15And I think the first step you do to salvaging it is you have to actually be as aggressive as you were when you came to the Devons trade.
01:22You have to do this again.
01:23Again, you have to be aggressive.
01:25Carlos Santana, two years ago, was traded.
01:29The Seattle Mariners were two games under .500.
01:32The Seattle Mariners trade for Carlos Santana and went on like this epic run where I think they went like 40-12 or something like that.
01:40And I'm not saying that's all because of one player.
01:42But if you're willing to be aggressive in mid-June with Rafael Devers, you have to acknowledge that you have to be also equally as aggressive in late June when it comes to fixing whatever ails you are.
