00:00Trade rumors in the core roster, he emphasized that the core players are unlikely to be traded no matter what
00:04you're hearing rumors-wise.
00:06Hey, the only one that's untouchable is Pete Alonzo, noting that while the front office listens to calls across the
00:10league,
00:10they're not actively seeking to deal major pieces.
00:14He expressed confidence in the upper-level pitching depth at AA and AAA without outlining plans to pursue a front
00:19-end starter,
00:20power-hitting options, and defensive improvements.
00:22And one of the things that's tied into that, I don't like the comments about Trevor Rodgers.
00:26I think it's kind of like whether or not, hey, we'd love to have him back, whether it's a qualifying
00:32offer or signing him to an extension.
00:34That qualifying offer, somebody's going to pay him.
00:37So you're either going to have to pay more money or just take the draft pick that comes back with
00:40it.
00:41And we'll see if they're willing to do that.
00:43And the weirdest thing is I keep seeing everyone link Randy Orozarena to this team.
00:48No.
00:48Please no.
00:49No, yeah.
00:50He's not a good outfielder, first off.
00:54And everywhere he's been, he's been lazy.
00:56He strikes out way too much, which fits their profile.
00:59Yeah, there we go.
01:00Oh, but he hits left-handed pitching.
01:03No, there's way better options.
