00:00They should be in on everything, but this is the Red Sox and John Henry we're talking about.
00:03They're just not, and we have to accept it.
00:05So, Mackenzie Gore, I'm intrigued by.
00:08Yes, good strikeout guy.
00:10I think the match makes a lot of sense that the GM there in Washington, Paul Toboni, came from here.
00:16He would know the farm system and maybe even covet some players in the farm system.
00:19He's like, give me the password. I need the password.
00:21I think that trade makes some sense.
00:23I just don't think he's been as good as some people talk about him.
00:25He was an all-star last year, ERA over four.
00:28Right.
00:28He is a strikeout guy.
00:29He is left-handed.
00:30You could have, like, two premium lefties at the front of the rotation who punch guys out.
00:34I like that.
00:35And then totally and early, you have only lefties.
00:37I mean, he's young enough, right?
00:39He's going to be 27 in February, so he'll be 27 all year.
00:42He's younger than a lot of the guys we're talking about.
00:43I like it.
00:44I just don't, I'm not convinced he's way better than Brian Baio or the way that Breslow talked about it the other day.
00:50We have a one.
00:51We're comfortable with our three through ten.
00:53We need a two.
00:53I'm not totally convinced he's a two.
00:55No, we're talking about a lot of BB minus guys, which obviously there's a spot for them.
00:59In the rotation, and they'd be an upgrade overall, but it doesn't seem like it's, like, a big step forward or it's this big splash.
01:05And that was part of the discussion around the trade deadline was, like, all right, guys, they didn't get Joe Ryan, but the asking price is too high.
01:11Just like Garrett Crochet the year before, the asking price is too high, but they were able to get him in the offseason.
01:15So stay tuned on Joe Ryan.
01:17But then if that pivots to Mackenzie Gore or Sandy Alcantara, I'll take him.
01:22I just think you're going a little bit lower.
01:23Like, you're not taking that huge swing like you would have with Crochet, like, a year ago, or even Ryan.
01:29Hunter Green's a good name.
01:30Hunter Green's been awesome in Cincinnati.
01:32He's younger than Gore.
01:34He is right-handed, but he's been better than Gore.
01:38Yeah.
01:38And he's younger, and he's a name that's available.
01:41That's an interesting one.
01:42That's not one that Brad Fow mentioned yesterday, but that's an interesting one.
