00:00we're having some fun man and here's what's interesting i always tell you guys
00:04i'm ahead of the curve and the the irony for me today is uh we did our pre-show for
00:10those who
00:10were checking it out it's called behind the curtain you can check it out day day and turtle
00:13was in for mike today and we're talking and we started uh before we went on the air talking about
00:19the braves and potential deals and ironically chris said look i want him to make a couple of
00:25moves and he's laid that out and we'll get back into that coming up here in just a little bit
00:28but in the break you said something to me and then i want you to tell our listeners what i
00:32said to you
00:33in day day today because now people want to say it's official that we may be in the running what
00:39am i talking about well according to jeff passan espn mlb insider the braves are among the top
00:49contenders interested in the services of one tarik skuble how about that
00:58how about that and yes to carl's point he alluded to this i did on the pre-show call i
01:08did he's got
01:09some sources apparently in the mix giving him the skinny here's what's funny about this and and look
01:15i'm not telling you they're going to do it but this makes perfect sense now it's a rental but when
01:21i said
01:21this to turtle in day day today and turtle was like oh i'm not sure what are you doing and
01:26then
01:26we talk about adding significant pieces now here's the kicker for this and if you don't know who we're
01:31talking about we're talking about the two-time cy young award winner for the detroit tigers who aren't
01:35going anywhere you would basically pick him up through the end of the year if you could convince
01:42him and maybe a world series would be enough and you were willing to pay him to come back then
01:47you
01:47could have those discussions but he's recovering from elbow surgery and this happened ironically
01:52against us yep the tigers were playing us earlier this season and then remember he leaves the game
01:59and we're like oh that's weird and then we find out but the going into this week folks the tigers
02:04had
02:04lost like 21 of the last 26 they had been reeling now they just swept a series i think against
02:10tampa
02:11but the fact is like they're 11 or 12 games out and a lot of people around baseball are saying
02:16okay
02:17what can you get the most return on so let me ask you this chris before we get into some
02:21college
02:21football because we are going to let you hear what happened uh and talk about what happened at this
02:25hearing yesterday as more information is coming out um including from uh testimony from from the ad at
02:31notre dame people aqua and also nick saban but what are you willing to give up because this is going
02:37to
02:37be a trade so this is not going to be cash considerations this isn't going to be oh well
02:43you know and by the way salaries don't have to match up you just got to trade right what are
02:47you
02:47willing to give up if you were going to get to reek scuble who is considered by the way when
02:52healthy
02:53one of if not the best pitchers in the league i'm talking about cross major league baseball so do you
02:58trade a couple of your top top players to do this i would tell braves fans if we are serious
03:04and
03:04we're in the running and jeff passan is now reporting this if you want to win a world series
03:10you do it but it's all going to depend on the health and recovery of to reek scuble but the
03:16brains would not do this if they didn't feel like he was going to be healthy what are you willing
03:19to
03:19give up everything you do it it's like the line from avengers endgame what did it cost everything
03:29everything i'm willing to give up whatever it takes carl by the way he's expected back in
03:36as short as a week and i love it so which also gives you a sample right of what what
03:41you're going
03:41to potentially jr richie that's gone owen murphy gone okay cambin itty gone you're giving up all that
03:48to win a world series right now yes yes what you got did it but see this is what i'm
03:54talking about
03:55you questioned whether shwelly and waldrip would be able to come back and pitch the same
04:02we don't know that scuble can come back and pitch the same no this is exactly what i'm talking about
04:08no how could you not question it how could you not question it if you're questioning their return
04:16how could you not question is scuble's a two-time cy young award i get it but it's still an
04:23injury
04:24no schwellenbach has been in the major leagues for five minutes waldrip has been in the major
04:30leagues for two minutes i'm not my point is i would never give that much up for him not knowing
04:36how he's going to come back and pitch you know what you know what it's called day day you're crazy
04:41you know what it's called what risk verse reward yes it is that's what it's called no it is it
04:47is
04:47and and here's the thing guys uh as we're talking about the braves and in various reports out there
04:52and i'm not tooting my own horn this is just one of those situations you could do this is a
04:57pretty
04:57big you could toot carl no i'm just saying like the because when you bring this stuff up people
05:02always go no way they won't do it why not why not why not exactly so when you when you
05:11say these
05:12names like in the sentence to reek school when you go man a two-time cy young award there's no
05:16way
05:16they do that why not it's 17 million dollars well that's the other part about this it's a rental
05:22this is you're getting for the half of the season the remaining part of the season after the trade
05:27deadline or maybe if you pull the trigger before that but you're not paying him the entire salary
05:32he's old it's already been paid you would be paying him less than you're paying hassan kim you
05:37would be paying him less than you're paying right now for chris sale oh you know what's convenient
05:42you happen to have a 17 million dollar marker sitting there for jerks and profar wow funny
05:49how that works sometimes huh well and could you imagine we talk about flash forwarding to october
05:55right carl yes could you imagine well you have been doing that all day yes because i'm you're there in
06:00my you're there i'm accurate in my thinking is that's where they're going could you imagine starting
06:05the world series knowing you have chris sale and tariq scoobal yeah going one and two
06:11filling and six and seven if needed yeah now you feel a lot more secure now you are the
06:16overwhelming favorite yeah that's the move i'm talking about and then you can go get byron
06:20buxton on top of it now you're asking now you're really now you're really you know you're the kid
06:27at christmas that gets what he wants but they're not satisfied as you didn't get the other toys you
06:31needed i wanted the super nintendo but i also wanted the extra battery pack that goes with it with
06:35the vibrating controller and the duck just be happy that's what i wanted with the super nintendo
06:40okay start there 404-726-0929 uh brace fans uh what would you would you do this would you entertain
06:48it my answer simply simply yes you not only entertain it you see what the return on this
06:55potentially is as far as what you're willing to give up i think you blank check it whatever they
06:59want and you do this blank check it i'm with you i i look when i told you guys earlier
07:04today and i was
07:05like this is the this is the answer it sounds ridiculous because you look at his salary but
07:09chris is right it's half a year he's the best pitcher in baseball right now like period
07:16there's nobody else in baseball if if healthy day day don't want to upset you but if healthy yeah
07:23there's nobody else in baseball you want on the mound i don't i don't disagree with you all right
07:28man uh you guys can hit us up let us know what you think about that uh that is out
07:32there and again
07:32we may not even get resolution to this until the trade deadline right they may let him come back and
07:38they probably will to chris's point pitch in detroit a couple of more outings maybe two three
07:42appearances who knows but if he pitches well here's the problem with that price tag may go up
07:49so this is the timing of trying to figure out all right if we really want to do this i'm
07:55just going
07:56to go ahead and do it knowing what i'm getting versus allowing him to come back ball out have three
08:02great outings what if he comes back for three appearances before the trade deadline what are we
08:06july right three weeks and all of a sudden other teams who are in contention go we're gonna we're
08:12not gonna let the braves have that guy and now it's a bidding war so that becomes potentially the
08:17issue all right uh i know we don't have time we're going to talk college football when we come back
08:20but
08:21we will we'll get into that we got some falcons conversation for you as well grant's going to
08:25join us in the five o'clock hour but this is front and center man because for everybody who has
08:30said
08:30and mike has been on this as well you know mike is always wanting them to do more and i'm
08:34i'm all for it
08:36sometimes you feel like you're dreaming an impossibility this isn't this is very doable
08:44if you're willing to take the chance it falls within the parameters yes of what it seemed like
08:49the braves yes should be spending that's the bottom line if they don't do it and it's because of money
08:55that's a problem that's a problem that's a problem i i don't disagree all right 404-726-0929
09:00and uh we always talk about the rich getting richer right we get mad when the dodgers do something
09:04like this or you know the yankees or the mets have done this we can do this by the way
09:09you know
09:10who the other front-running team is for school who the dodgers of course they're just trying to add
09:15everybody and by the way it would almost they would do this out of spite they don't need him
09:19no they don't need they would almost do this just to go well we're gonna we're gonna do this because
09:24they got blake snell they got otani they got yamamoto they got tyler glass now i mean did you see
09:30what
09:30what shohay's era is it's like one zero point seven six it's silly
