00:00Our friend Tima, who emails all the time, I'll start this with this.
00:04Can you please pick apart this trade rumor, the Felgers Mike Trout rumor.
00:08Can you please pick apart this trade rumor since you have Dan and Baseball Wallach on today.
00:14It makes zero sense as to why the Red Sox would trade anyone for an old, very often injured player.
00:19I know they need a right-handed bat in the lineup, but this would be an awful, awful trade.
00:23Do you want the audio real quick, Fred?
00:25Sure.
00:26Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
00:27Let me play for you real quick.
00:29If my thing would play.
00:31Baseball sources inform me that this is coming.
00:34It's just my phone and a Fakakta Brown checkmark, and I use the term lightly.
00:38Appropriation.
00:39It's really not.
00:40It's just someone who heard something.
00:41Don't be surprised if we end up with Mike Trout, great source.
00:45He's 100 years old, but they think he's a better leader than Bregman,
00:49and will hit a bunch of home runs at Fenway Park, and L.A. likes Duran and Bayon.
00:53All right, so, Tim, I would hate to disagree with you, but I love this trade, and it's for a
01:00simple reason.
01:01You don't need Duran at all.
01:05He's someone that you have too many people in the outfield, as it is, that could be playing every day
01:11when Anthony gets healthy and whatever.
01:15You're not winning anything anyway.
01:18Bring a star in.
01:20I mean, if you were lucky enough that the Angels were playing the Red Sox early in the year and
01:26you could actually see Trout,
01:28I would go to every game of the series to see Trout and Otani.
01:32I went to three games.
01:34I'd go Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to see those guys.
01:37My opinion is, Duran's not a part of your future, I would imagine.
01:42He's not very good this year.
01:45Bayon is a decent, on a good team, what do you think?
01:49He's a fifth starter, a fourth starter on a good team?
01:51He's a fourth starter on this team.
01:53Yeah, yeah, right.
01:54Right.
01:54And he's not even starting at the moment.
01:57Right, and he needs an opener, and they're experimenting.
01:59But, so my point, yeah, that's right.
02:01He's a fourth starter on this team.
02:02He went off and got two pitchers to pitch ahead of him.
02:04So, if you can get rid of Bayon and Duran that you don't really need anyway,
02:10and you can bring in a star just for this season for something to look at,
02:15I'm dead serious.
02:17What about the four more after this one?
02:19Who cares?
02:21What does it have to do with anything?
02:22You're not getting rid of anything that you need.
02:24Maybe you're spending $150 million.
02:27I mean, is that going to?
02:28You could use that money elsewhere.
02:31Look, I have a hard time.
02:32I think it's a panic move.
02:33I have a hard time giving up a young pitcher who still has the opportunity to be good
02:38for a guy who's going to be 35 before the end of the season.
