00:00Mr. Rob Bradford from of course wei.com and baseball isn't boring if you haven't heard
00:04a deal that broke about I guess about an hour and a half ago Adley Rutchman is now coming to
00:09the Red Sox from the Orioles in return the Orioles receive Carlos Nervais Anthony Ionson
00:14Kyson Witherspoon and Andy Azokar and Harold Rivas it's a it's a it's a big haul but it's for
00:20a player who is a three-time all-star including an all-star this year we've talked about that but
00:24I want to get you Mr. Bradford your comment on reports that the Red Sox may not be done in
00:32the
00:32hour and 10 minutes that we've got left before this trade deadline do you believe that they will
00:37be Craig Bressel will be making another deal before the trade deadline
00:44they have the potential of being thin at a couple different areas the shortstop being number one
00:49if you think Andrew Monasterio can be able to be the solution okay I like Andrew Monasterio a lot
00:55but you know I don't know if you want to ride him through October as your shortstop and then you
01:00come to starting pitching you get rid of Conley early you have two two rookies who you're going
01:05to have to get to the finish line there in October you have you know Sonny Gray who's 36 years
01:10old you
01:10have Ranger Suarez who's had you know different ailments so I'm not you know it can still work out for
01:16all of them but I'm just saying like it probably would behoove them to cover themselves a little
01:20bit and I do want to think so I was thinking about this guys like the level of of like
01:26this trade and
01:27the satisfaction of this deadline so being in LA they had this very well publicized drone show
01:34right it's like fireworks but throw right so they're talking about this for days out there
01:39Dodgers were so proud of it then that night after the game which they have the drone show
01:44they have hundreds of people in the field they're waiting they're waiting and waiting
01:48and that they make the trade for Tarek Skubal and they said by the way the drone show has been
01:53canceled and everyone just walked out and I don't know so is this at the level where if you had
01:58a
01:58drone show at Fenway Park and you canceled it no one would care because you got Adley Rushman I know
02:03that's a very long win but I'm fascinated by them canceling the drone show I would say it's a little
02:10bit of a
02:11different level yeah they'll be pretty pissed they would be pissed there's no drone show let's be
02:16honest yeah hey Rob just side note just you brought it up the I thought Chavez Ravine was kind of
02:24empty
02:25man like I know they yeah they hold it's weird there just wasn't as many people as like for the
02:30team
02:30that's won the World Series last year did you find that peculiar well I think that you know I think
02:36that
02:36a you know it was full once Joe Kelly got there and then they all left and and that and
02:42then but
02:42also it's kind of in a it's a cliche but it's kind of true it's like any three through seven
02:48there's
02:48people there but when the game starts it's hardly anyone there and then everyone leaves so yeah I mean
02:55it's all of that we it is hey it is a great feather in the cap for the Red Sox
03:00to win those games
03:00but that Dodgers team that you saw is nowhere that in the fit in the crowd and everything else
03:06it's it's nowhere representative what you're going to see two months from now all right let me follow
03:10up that one with just this this uh this quick one it is where's where is where the Red Sox
03:14in the AL
03:15and the AL where how would you rank them are they the best team in the American League or is
03:19there a team
03:19better than them no I think so I mean I don't say that like lightly because I've been hesitant to
03:25say
03:25that but I think they're the best team because it's been not a small sample size they've they've
03:31done this they've not only done this but in the last 40 days they've beaten they've gone 14 and 0
03:36against first the uh first place team so that says something to me and they continue to do it there's
03:42no there's no step back so far do they need help like they got today yeah I do think so
03:47but I look at
03:48these standings Ted and I'm just like okay I have to like do a triple take like where are the
03:53good
03:54teams am I missing somebody and and so I I always land at hey you know what you know they
04:00probably
04:00right now are the best team hey Bradford you mentioned shortstop so Cotillo apparently has
04:05said that the Red Sox have clearly made Marcelo Meyer available in advance of the deadline potentially
04:11for pitching but would he be in a package for like a netto or if it is indeed pitching what
04:17are the names
04:18you're hearing that they're in on would Evaldi be in the mix well I reached out about Evaldi today
04:23because I heard his name being surfaced and obviously when he signed with Texas it came down
04:28to Red Sox in Texas and he has a no trade but the answer I got because they went they
04:34asked the
04:34Grom down there to wave his no trade and say no I think that's the same thing with Evaldi that
04:39they
04:39want to make a run with the Rangers so I don't I like that idea and that fit is that
04:44sort of guy
04:45you know like maybe like a Shane Bieber or someone like that to really help but you know and then
04:50you
04:50come back to Marcelo Meyer well yeah I don't think there's any question that he still has
04:55some value even the fourth overall pick he hasn't produced you know they probably are looking for
05:01other answers at the position that he plays going forward so yeah I would not be surprised if they
05:06are at least making himself making him available because again we come back to this year it's world
05:11series aspiration is Marcelo Meyer going to be an enormous part of that I don't know
05:17all right well Rob Bradford we know you got to run thank you for your precious time with us we
05:22appreciate the inside scoop the inside info and uh if something breaks before six o'clock just send us
