00:00Just give me that Minnesota Twins story again, please.
00:03According to The Athletic, the Twins are reportedly planning to keep their stars.
00:08No kidding.
00:08Yeah.
00:09Why do you think the Ovietta guy is here?
00:11Exactly.
00:12Not to mention Sonny Gray.
00:13And why do you think Sonny Gray and Ovietta and what's-his-face Karabas
00:19and his ilk started talking Super Pen two, three weeks ago?
00:24Obviously.
00:25I knew that the second, again, the second they trade for Sonny Gray
00:29and talk him up off the record as a number two
00:32while not having the guts to talk to him or talk about him on the record as the number two.
00:37But behind the scenes, you know, they'll feed all the guys
00:40the rationale behind Sonny Gray being a number two.
00:44Never mind the Ovietta.
00:45How do I pronounce the name?
00:46Ovietta.
00:47Ovietta.
00:48Trade.
00:48Of course, that's why he's here.
00:50Because Joe Ryan's off the table.
00:52I'm sorry.
00:52I'm not yelling at you, Mark, but go ahead.
00:54And according to John Heyman, Pete Alonzo is attending the winter meetings
00:58and we'll meet with the Red Sox.
01:00Okay, I'm not surprised by that.
01:01Yeah, and I think-
01:02I mean, I would hope so.
01:03Yeah.
01:03I think they have a chance to land him.
01:05I don't think you're going to get Bregman and him or Bregman and Schwarber
01:08or Alonzo and Schwarber.
01:10Not that the latter two would make sense, but you know what I mean.
01:13Yes.
01:14You're getting that poo-poo platter, you're getting one.
01:17One item.
01:17That's what I think, too.
01:19And you might get, like, you know, Polanco from the Mariners or something like that,
01:23but it'll be a lesser player and you're going to get, you know, what I would call B, B-plus
01:28free agents.
01:29Scraps.
01:30That's what you're going to get.
01:32I mean, it's, you know, the thing that I find amusing about this Joe Ryan story is that
01:37at the trade deadline, the Red Sox were claiming that they thought they were going to get Ryan.
01:42So now the Twins, and now recently, I don't know if you saw this, the Twins indicated
01:48they were never really close to moving Ryan at the trade deadline.
01:51Huh.
01:52So did the Red Sox just, I don't know, oh, spin a bunch of bull crap to try and feed
01:57their fans?
01:57Yes.
01:58And their gullible play-along media members that, oh, they were in on him.
02:03What do you think?
02:04Right.
02:04And make it sound like they were closer to getting him than they really were because
02:08they knew the price was outrageous?
02:09Please.
02:09And now they're unwilling to meet the price, so they went out and got Sonny Gray, who hates
02:14the Yankees, don't you know?
02:15Did you hear about that?
02:15I saw this story today, too.
02:17Good.
02:17So, look, I just think that-
02:19Oh, no, but Cashman, you see the whole thing with Cashman today?
02:21Yes.
02:21Yes.
02:21Yeah, that Cashman said that when he met with Gray the year after they traded for him,
02:26that Gray admitted to him he never wanted a goal there.
02:28This guy's a disaster in the making.
02:29He is, and he had-
02:30So the point being, if he said to the Yankees initially, trade me to New York, but he really
02:36hates it, what do you think he's saying to you?
02:39Exactly.
02:39So he knows how to say the game publicly or talk the game publicly for his market or
02:44whatever the case is.
02:45But behind the scenes, what is he?
02:47He complained to Cashman that I can't leave my apartment.
02:49I don't even like leaving my apartment in New York.
02:52Now, Boston ain't New York, but it ain't Topeka.
02:55Okay.
02:55Come on.
