00:00And now here we are at the end of the line with 30 minutes to go.
00:04And you could honestly say that with the two minor moves,
00:10and I'm not saying they won the deadline,
00:12but with the two minor moves that Cleveland has made,
00:15getting Foster Griffin to now pitch in a postseason game,
00:19maybe game two, maybe game one,
00:21but let's just say game two for them,
00:23getting Joe Adele from the Angels to help the offense,
00:27all of a sudden you're looking at a team that decided we have a chance to win
00:32the division.
00:33And now we have a much better chance to win the division by making,
00:36and that's why Cleveland Joe is such a good organization.
00:39They're in it every year.
00:41They don't have to go out and get crazy.
00:43They still have Jose Ramirez and some other players teetering around 500.
00:48Yep.
00:49Move moves like this is why they're in it every year.
00:53They may not win it every year, but they're in it every season.
00:57So a pretty good move, a pretty shrewd move, I think, from Cleveland.
01:00I have to see what the return was, by the way, in that trade too, I should say,
01:03because, boy, Washington's stacked now.
01:05Washington's getting so many prospects.
01:07The Twins also, according to Jeff Passon of ESPN,
01:11acquired Jeff Hoffman from the Blue Jays,
01:14who just told the reporters in Toronto that he was not going anywhere.
01:17I just saw this about 10 minutes ago.
01:18He is.
01:19He's going to the Twins.
01:21The Twins.
01:21What is the Twins doing, Joe?
01:23The Twins.
01:24Oh, my gosh.
01:25I don't know what they gave up.
01:26Maybe nothing.
01:26Poor Jeff Hoffman.
01:28One really, really bad appearance for Jeff Hoffman.
01:31Seems like it's, like, derailed his career.
01:33I can't figure out what the Twins are doing,
01:34and I officially can't figure out what the Blue Jays are doing too, Joe.
01:37Maybe you can help me.
01:39Well, the Twins have been saying that they've been working on adding
01:43right-handed relief to the bullpen to bolster it there.
01:46You know, we had mentioned on Friday the left-hander, A.J. Minter.
01:51They got him from the Mets.
01:53They got Kremer from Baltimore on Friday.
01:57Now they've just added Hoffman here,
02:00and all of this leads me to believe that Ryan Jeffers is likely going nowhere now
02:04because they're buying a lot.
02:07So Minnesota, you know, trying to help that worst bullpen in the American League,
02:15try to bolster that a little bit.
02:17If they got a need, they're addressing it.
02:20Will it be enough?
02:20But, Joe, let me ask you something, Joe.
02:22Just knowing what you know right now,
02:24and you could only make one bet on winning the division,
02:27Cleveland or Minnesota, 10 times out of 10,
02:30you're taking Cleveland, right?
02:31You're not going to take Minnesota.
02:32Knowing what you know, right?
02:33Would you consider Minnesota?
02:35I am, I would, but I also don't have Minnesota season tickets.
02:40So, you know, perception is reality as well, Craig.
