00:00a couple texts on the asking price for scoobal the tigers reportedly wants a controllable starting
00:06pitcher plus prospects and they want to thread the needle if they're going to move on from scoobal
00:11they still want to have enough starting pitching to stay in it but i think they have enough starting
00:17pitching even if they deal scoobal to stay in it if you're concerned beyond this year you can use
00:22free agency you've got a bunch of young arms coming back i know there's always a need for
00:26more pitching but i wouldn't be insistent if i was the tigers uh texter says we're losing three
00:31veteran starters this offseason you can never have enough starting pitching people just get used to
00:35piling on harris i'll give him credit for how you lee we can highlight his wins along the way
00:41i don't feel like they're in a desperate need of major league starting pitchers you could argue the
00:47system could use a few arms but at the major league level they'll have valdez next year montero next
00:53year melton jove reese olsen yeah they'll have to replace some guys but i would hope they would
00:59invest in one legit free agent starter if they're losing mys flaherty and scoobal right i don't think
01:05it's this dire need they must get back a young pitcher who's major league ready they've got enough
01:11arms for this year i would take the best return right and maybe it's an arm that is a future
01:18starter
01:19cool and and again it's a prospect it's not a guy that has to come in right now yeah
01:25uh texter says they need a hitter not a pitcher look at those averages pitiful jim in a car
01:28well look across major league baseball yeah you gotta be careful with the batting average stuff right
01:32there's just they don't make 300 hitters like they used to it's like 250 is the new 300
01:37maybe you're going a little far uh guys you do have breaking news on the show today yes we do
01:46somebody's not coming back to the red wings patrick kane returning to the blackhawks on a
01:51two-year deal eight million per season that's a good move for me you ask the question you know
01:57should he sign with the blues hometown or or the sabers sabers yeah sorry um or go back to chicago
02:03where he spent the majority of his career and he couldn't go wrong with either one this is probably
02:11the most anyone was willing to pay him that's what jumps out i know the caps going up and i
02:17know
02:17chicago wanted to bring him home eight million dollars is more than he made base salary the last
02:22two years with the red wings so tip of the cap steve eiserman right got a great value okay
02:32yes john didn't see me turning that one on you did you i know eiserman had said when he was
02:38still
02:39the gm he wanted kane back in detroit yeah kane did not want to come back to detroit it's why
02:44it
02:44came down to two not detroit teams he saw the writing on the wall he sees what we're seeing i
02:52don't need
02:52to be part of this red wing whatever's about to happen yeah let's call it what it is yeah and
02:57it's
02:57not like chicago's a cup team but for eight million bucks a team where you have a history yeah
03:03kind of bedard in the power place kind of a fun player to play with yeah so there you have
03:09it
03:09yeah and i don't i don't know how realistic it was that even if eiserman was here yeah he wanted
03:14him
03:14back was he actually going to be a wing probably not i know there's people going good red and see
03:20that dumb penalty against the wild all right it was but it was a dumb penalty but good luck
03:26replacing the production although the goal might not be to replace the production and usher in a true
03:30rebuild of a rebuild of a rebuild 248-539-9797 dear john coming up at 935 i don't expect to
03:40do a
03:40deep dive into patrick kane's future no probably not um but now that we are we're just over a week
03:49from steve eiserman news yeah it was last wednesday how long do you how much longer do you think it
03:56takes when do they when do they go with a whoever it's going to be when do they finally fill
04:01that
04:02role you at all curious that there haven't been any leaks or like names reportedly set to interview
04:07any of the hockey insiders breaking some news here because it felt like the timing was curious and
04:12the fact that there's no leaks makes you concerned that they're doing this by the seat of their pants
04:17so that was it was that was gonna be my next question but i'm not i'm not necessarily
04:22concerned about no leaks because of the timing that it happened where
04:28all the gms that maybe would have been willing to make that jump right after the season but now
04:35are probably feeling a responsibility to their team and and that they've that a commitment that
04:42they've made yeah and to be fair there's also not an urgency to get a gm today in that a
04:49lot of the
04:50offseason has already happened there's not a lot that can be done you need to secure edvinson
04:53well other than that trade larkin yeah but there's clearly no sense of urgency no
05:03not from the wing side of things but maybe there's a team out there that is
05:08if i'm minnesota i'm like who am i supposed to call right now i don't want to call steve anymore
05:12right give me a new number to call if i'm minnesota i want a different number
05:15let me speak to the manager yeah well he's talking to chris i right now iserman is the
05:23interim acting whatever right but he's i don't i don't think there's a license to make that trade
05:27no you you have to let the next gm make that trade i don't know i mean when when does
05:33this need to get
05:33done by certainly before training camp so you can solve the larkin conundrum and so that you can
05:38get edvinson signed right but so i'm just gonna match a couple of weeks yeah i don't know they'll match
05:43an edvinson deal unless it's astronomical so i don't think they feel an urgency i just want to
05:48know the process is moving right yeah and and it would be it would at least be interesting to hear
05:54the path that they want to go down like if there were three or four names and they all had
05:59you know
05:59similar backgrounds okay at least we would understand the path that chris illich wants to
06:04take the organization yeah give us something to talk about that's not dylan larkin and that's not
06:09dylan larkin or gf skuble pending trades
06:12dylan larkin or gf skuble pending trades
