00:00All right, so the fun for the Washington Nationals, I think, officially comes to a close this week.
00:04They just got beat down by the Braves.
00:05The Braves seemingly put everybody out of their misery, it seems like, every year.
00:08You think you're really good, and then you play the Braves, and they take care of you.
00:13Yeah, look, Washington was playing opportunistic baseball.
00:18Paul Toboni, the general manager, came out and said that they may extend Foster Griffin.
00:23Why did they do that?
00:25That's why.
00:25So they can trade him tomorrow and get more for him.
00:28That's the way that it works.
00:29He's going to be traded tomorrow.
00:31Some team is going to cash in, I think, big time on him.
00:34I got nothing bad to say about the Nationals.
00:36They were ahead of pace, but now I think anything that's not tied down for the future, they got to
00:41move, I think, tomorrow.
00:42What do you think, Tom?
00:43Yeah, great, fun season for the Nationals.
00:46It's obviously not over.
00:48You go out and get a pitcher with early for Meade.
00:50I think that's fine.
00:52You say you want to extend Foster Griffin, which I saw the report earlier in the week.
00:55I was like, there's no way this is true.
00:57Like, we're talking about a pitcher, Foster Griffin, who has extremely limited MLB experience prior to this season.
01:04And he's been great this season, but he's also just not the type of player that you want to invest
01:09heavily in until he actually proves it for multiple seasons.
01:12So they should trade him, get some assets back.
01:15Again, I'm going to continue to say high-level pitching prospects, either starting pitching or relief pitching, which they desperately
01:21need bullpen help.
01:22And then you'll be in a good spot.
01:24Don't trade C.J. Abrams.
01:25And you'll work towards next year.
01:27You'll be ready to some of it in the offseason.
01:29And you go from there.
01:31Yeah, it's a good team.
01:32It's like Paul Tabone calls me.
01:34This is Craig Mishak and, you know, Foster Griffin, extension.
01:36Where do you think of extension?
01:38What do you think?
01:38Okay, fine.
01:39Sounds good.
01:39But Foster Griffin, extension.
01:40No chance.
01:42And not that he doesn't deserve it, but it's just like, come on, let's get real.
