00:00now glaber torres hits the market again guarantee you he's not signing a one-year deal

00:05him going back to detroit makes a lot of sense the question is for how much money

00:09detroit is clearly not willing to splurge on a scuble but scuble is going to be astronomically

00:15higher than a glaber torres are they in the bregman sweepstakes if they're in the bregman

00:18sweepstakes does that take them out of the glaber sweepstakes it's a really interesting

00:22conversation where do you feel like glaber's total money sits it's not nine figures no but is it 80

00:29is it 50 that there's a lot of ground there it's well i think the glaber versus polanco conversation

00:36is interesting too because polanco is older but polanco i mean they both were about two and a

00:41half four players polanco at 26 homers and struck out literally cut his strikeout rate in half

00:47this past year glaber like proved that he could hit outside of yankee stadium right but like

00:52and i know it's hard to hit there in america but it was a 387 slug um he gave you a little bit more

00:58well-rounded profiling the underlying data points towards some some good things but

01:02and ages on his side but i don't know if i'm a team in win now mode i'm leaning towards

01:07less money shorter term with polanco and i'm wondering how that affects the market of glaber

01:15because glaber wants longer term deal which i understand he would he just signed a one year

01:19he proved it and he's it's the last time he's going to hit free agency on the right side of 30

01:23i'm going to try to maximize the years but if i'm a team that's looking to add at second base

01:29i don't need to play that game i'll go less years for a guy that i think was more offensively

01:35productive you're going to give up a little bit defensively sure but i and hit where apparently

01:40nobody can hit as well and and seattle so tangible mechanical adjustment cut your strikeout rate in half

01:4626 homers most that you've hit since 2021 and it's not like he's 34 he's going to be 32 for

01:52majority of the season polanco i lean towards like just polanco's market maybe materializing a little

01:59bit more and i think for that reason glaber may end up being another late signing here and i just

02:04wonder if the market's going to fully come together the way that he hoped because yes he did quote

02:09unquote prove it but did he prove it enough yeah what does the boba shed market look like

02:15that one is interesting because this is are you giving boba shed 100 million dollars

02:21i would yeah you're paying for the bat regardless i'm giving him that i think i and you have some

02:29estimates out there pushing him north of two bills right and then i think when you look at the age

02:34because that's what it's all about here he's going to be 28 years old in spring training um just

02:41turning 28 he's coming off of you know phenomenal year offensively he played hurt in the playoffs and

02:47was incredible through that for that reason i just think you can't let him walk but then it just becomes

02:52the game of how high can other bidders drive the price up i don't know if they're going to drive it up

02:57as high for the blue jays maybe as as we think because how many teams are just ready to give him the

03:03keys to go play shortstop because not many and now coming off of this knee issue i don't know what

03:09it's going to look like doesn't help him defensively how many teams that can afford boba shed are going

03:17to be sitting there and saying here's 180 million dollars to play shortstop for us right now the

03:24blue jays will have first rider refusal it it does feel like a restricted free agency for boba shed and

03:31that doesn't exist in major league baseball but it does feel like whatever offer sheet bachette gets

03:37the blue jays will have the opportunity to match because the blue jays can pay more than everybody

03:41else that is that's the unique circumstance for me where like atlanta could absolutely say hey we need

03:49a shortstop we're okay taking a step down defensively bo you're our guy make our lineup the best that the

03:55world has ever seen okay but like is atlanta gonna pay this guy 200 million dollars no it doesn't seem

04:01like it they value they value defense at shortstop more than almost any team they're rolling nick allen

04:07shows you what they like maybe nick allen pissed him off maybe the whole nick allen thing was like

04:14you know what we might need somebody that can hit i'm with you hasung kim makes more sense but

04:19you know i'm just using atlanta as an example of a possible suitor for bachette and it's like hey

04:24bo we love you we'll give you four for 110 i mean the blue jays are saying don't even entertain them

04:34come on come on back home baby i know

04:37you
