00:00But there is clarity, at least on one team.
00:03I will say that the Angels are not going to win anything this year.
00:06I'll tell you of my signal that I see from this, Tom.
00:09You tell me if I'm wrong here.
00:10Now, Reid Detmers' deal is coming up with the Angels.
00:13Of course, he's been there a number of years.
00:15But for them to be interested in moving Jose Soriano tells me maybe this is a reset completely.
00:21Now, I know Soriano has overachieved, especially overachieved in the first couple of months of the season.
00:26And by the way, Tom, who's making these moves?
00:28Is it John Mozalek?
00:29He's the interim GM.
00:31You know, I mean, the Angels just keep on mystifying me, man.
00:35I mean, yes, could they make moves?
00:37Yes, could they keep players?
00:38I got no clue on them.
00:40Yeah, they should be trading them.
00:42You know, I wonder why Mike Trout's name is not on that list, that they should be making every player
00:47available.
00:47And what I'll continue to say is, you know, in half jest and push back and you're saying it's going
00:53to be a complete reset.
00:54Reset from what?
00:55But when you've already been one of the worst teams of the past five, six, seven, eight years, and you
00:59had Trout and Otani, you didn't do anything with them, you're not resetting for much.
01:03So make everyone available on the list.
01:05If Trout doesn't want to be traded, he needs to come out and say that.
01:08He needs to say that I want to spend my entire career with the Angels and credit to him for
01:11doing that.
01:12But he has a chance to win.
01:13Everyone's going to want to point to him going to the Phillies.
01:16Disappointing for me to see the Cincinnati Reds as sellers, but that's kind of where they are, Tom.
01:20I thought the Reds would be in this from beginning to end.
01:23I mean, they just extended Chase Burns.
01:25And, I mean, you look at the talent.
01:26They have talent on this team.
01:28And they have, to me, one of the elite managers in baseball, too, in Terry Francona.
01:32But it's been a disaster this season.
01:35Suarez expiring contract.
01:36Singer expiring contract.
01:39Stevenson, hard to trade a catcher at the end of the season.
01:42Nathaniel Lowe, he was a one-year deal and not much there, too.
01:44But Suarez will probably be on the move again and play for, what, his 10th team in five years, something
01:49like that?
01:50Yeah, I was hopeful for the Reds.
01:51You know, I spoke to you at the beginning of the season.
01:52I'm very hopeful on Sal Stewart.
01:55But I think all these players should move.
01:56And it's an easy answer.
01:57The Reds aren't that far away from being back to where they were last year.
02:00But a few moves and get them ready for next year.
