00:03three o'clock great to have you we're gonna get to the phones in a minute i just want to
00:07reset it
00:07you heard some of it uh in jeremy auto's update but there's a cornucopia of scoobal news today
00:14it may i don't know what question i'm supposed to ask you because i'm just i want this guy gone
00:19i need it like oxygen i don't want to look at him i don't want to hear him i don't
00:26even want
00:26just begun to dislike him because the the boris impact his comments and now you get this story
00:34today cody stavenhagen oh so you knew something was wrong your elbow in january but you didn't say
00:40anything because the team was taking you to arbitration court wow court yeah court because
00:45he wants to play the victim that nice court take me to court anytime you want to make 32 million
00:49bucks
00:50that's not court dude dude you're in a hotel conference room exactly thank you like judge
00:57ito was not there for the proceedings um nice thank you so look that that's one uh but basically if
01:06he
01:06knew something was wrong with his elbow and he didn't tell the team because the team had taken
01:10him to arbitration uh we've opened up a whole new can of worms then his comments and i want to
01:16make
01:16sure we don't put words in his mouth and i don't want to mislead anybody uh here's what he had
01:21to
01:21say about people who criticized his wbc decision i don't need to beg for forgiveness the people that
01:27write or said what they said about me i don't care what they say it doesn't matter oh it's fine
01:32i'm not
01:33offended by that one problem in the next breath there's fans who come to games and still say things
01:39and i go you wouldn't say it if you were on the other side of this fence you wouldn't look
01:44me in the
01:44face and say that okay well now we've reached the dumb phase of this or what tarik what are you
01:52gonna
01:52do hit them and by the way to people that you're you're interacting with probably have had about six
01:57beers they dream they go to bed with a boner hoping you punch them in the face because then they
02:04own
02:04you so why don't we just not do that with fans okay you want to yell at the white socks
02:09yell at the
02:09white socks you want to yell at a batter go ahead you two might actually fight no one's suing anybody
02:15you're not going to do anything to a fan so they probably would say something hoping you'd do
02:20something and then they then they sue you into oblivion so how about we avoid all of that
02:25you know what i'm saying it's just a silly angle to take but then you get to the ken rosenthal
02:30report
02:30today and and and it just seems like sounds like feels like eiserman scott harris wants to thread a
02:40needle that if he trades scoobal he wants to maintain being competitive this season uh that
02:46he wants a starting controllable pitcher plus prospects well here's your problem
02:55there's a very real scenario that a team that might be able to make you the best offer doesn't
03:00possess that so then you'd be issuing the best offer right because you have these weird red lines in the
03:08same way that steve eiserman had red lines with larkin wouldn't do a futures package but then you're
03:15making zany asks and it's really weird because you don't really need a pitcher that's not a high
03:22priority but you're willing to die on that hill if these reports are to be true yeah go get the
03:28best deal and and at this point just simply put it out there and let the other other teams cannibalize
03:34themselves trying to come up with the best package for you rather than just okay i need this and this
03:40and this but but not this it's like you're at burger king trying to order something rather than just
03:45getting the best there you go deal so you've got three different pathways you can go at scoobal not
03:50telling the team at least here i mean he knew about it in january but didn't say anything so when
03:56did
03:56it rise up in the middle of your season and by the way this is why when you don't negotiate
04:04and you
04:05don't get realistic these things can happen i hate to break it to you but jalen duran's working out this
04:10summer better hope you don't get hurt i mean these players who want to have their cake and eat it
04:17too
04:17the idea that scoobal thinks anyone's going to view him as a victim or have sympathy for him
04:23man you you are just not reading the tea leaves correctly and i he's quickly just become very
04:29unlikable and i hey look i took up for him i wasn't that hard on him about the seattle thing
04:33i i i
04:34understood people's anger i just said it wasn't going to undo the two years he's had right but man
04:40from that point on to the whole i want to be here i want to buy but i won't sign
04:46a deal my agents
04:47quoting dr seuss to now he's telling friends he desperately wants to stay what does it even mean
04:54i tell your friends what do you mean you're telling your friends to this or you just sign yeah or
05:01just
05:01be done with it i want him gone because it just i don't want to look at him i don't
05:07want to hear
05:07from him but i want i told you this is exactly how this would go but mike i don't think
05:12you're
05:12the only person who is at that point because it has gotten exhausting that's the word that i when
05:18i think of scoobal just it's exhausting because i've gone past the whole okay well you should trade
05:23him and do i i don't care anymore just whatever you want to do son if you want to be
05:28here fine if
05:29you don't keep talking but that that article i don't know what your end game was i don't know what
05:34you wanted people to think about well i don't know what people love you i i need to know what
05:38people think but here's the problem in all this i wonder if people are so checked out on this team
05:44and this guy that's how we end up here i think they're checked out on this guy the team i
05:50think
05:50is intriguing but scoobal because i think fans what's happened is now you use all the stuff that
05:59you liked about him and loved about against him where now it's oh well this guy only goes out and
06:04gives you six innings anyways and he did he was your guy but he doesn't look like he wants to
06:10be
06:10your guy he you know this goes back to the whole i'm gonna do the world tour at every game
06:15and look
06:16at me i'm front row i'm in courtside seats and i'm doing this and i'm doing that hey can we
06:21talk to
06:21you no please i need my privacy don't talk to me at all okay then why'd you show up here
06:27why didn't
06:27go up into a suite that's what this article sounds like he just needs the drama look at me listen
06:33to
06:33what i have to say i'm aggrieved and yeah and then i still want to be loved by detroiters phone
06:41lines
06:41are wide open you know i'm not i'm not going to sit here and harangue if you don't want to
06:45call about
06:45it you could take a text but i genuinely with this this is a three-pronged news dump about scoobal
06:52i know i'm most hopped up about the trade thing with rosenthal because i'm fascinated about scott
07:00harris on a pro player personnel level i think he's terrible and his trades i mean again let's go back
07:08to that deadline last year you don't that's a blemish you don't get rid of until you win a world
07:13series the idea that you might not get the best offer because you have this very specific thing
07:20i'm sorry that's not how this is done but i understand if you want to talk about scoobal
07:26saying he doesn't care what fans have to say except he challenges fans and says well you wouldn't say
07:31it to my face what does that even mean dude seriously you make 32 million dollars a year it's
07:36just kind of part of it and as long as a fan doesn't hurl like a slur at you or
07:41something just
07:42brush it off right because we both know they would say it to your face and you're gonna you're not
07:47going to hit them because if you did they'd own you so just stop right don't do you know my
07:53rule
07:53don't ever go with the fans right you will never win going at the fans don't do it doesn't care
07:59what
07:59the sport is just don't do it no you're right that that is universal that's why i said i didn't
08:05understand that point i read that i reread it i read it again i came in here and said you
08:10know what
08:10can somebody else read this because i don't think i read what i read yeah he did yeah you know
08:16you
08:16wouldn't say that if you came across this fence or what are you gonna do like you're not gonna
08:23hit that right this isn't the schoolyard now when you yell at the white socks that's one thing
08:27ain't nobody suing nobody right i i dare you to get in a fan's face and watch how bad your
08:32wallet
08:32lights on fire don't do that right stop that and then and look i'm all for i don't think that
08:37fans
08:38can say whatever they're not attacking your family they're not attacking all this they're just
08:42talking about you and look you don't want to be here and you stink and whatever that comes
08:50agreed right that just comes with the territory 248-539-9797 david paul i mean we can hear from
08:57you and david i know i'm i've been pitiful today about checking ticket texts we will do that in a
09:02moment paul go ahead i just think it's like he said he felt disrespected by the tigers in
09:06arbitration right that they some things like they low-balled him even though it was the highest
09:11arbitration contract ever offered whatever so you feel disrespected by the team so in turn
09:16you disrespect the team by hiding an injury and then you disrespect the arbitration process by
09:21keeping it quiet and you disrespect the team because you never really wanted to talk to him
09:25about an extension all while turning around and and and doing this this nonsense routine about how bad
09:31you want to be here yeah you you'd lose me with stuff like that i'm just fine saying you know
09:37what clear out your locker i've had enough but i don't own the team i would have gone full steinbrenner
09:421986 i would have traded his ass in 10 minutes i i just i don't want to deal with this
09:46anymore
09:47but that's all right he'll be here friday and i'm sure he'll dominate the royals without bobby
09:51and everything will be wonderful and you you guys do whatever you like keep him trade him do
09:55whatever i don't care i've had it yeah me too it is a two and a half year odyssey which
10:01by
10:01the way for all the people that slandered rico and did you'd slurs this is kind of why you don't
10:06get to a lame duck here this is why you trade a guy because you don't want to deal with
10:11the noise
10:11you don't want to deal with the nonsense so just just throwing that out there alpha phi alpha over
10:16there he wasn't crazy he wasn't crazy founders assemble news team
