00:00
All right, so listen, let me say this, that what made yesterday so amazing, at least for
00:08
me as a fan, is that you've got the Dodgers in first place and we all know about all their
00:14
injuries and we all know that the expectations that they have.
00:18
And then you've got the Padres who don't have anywhere near those expectations, okay?
00:23
But they are in it and they're going to be buyers rather than sellers because of the
00:27
way the second half of the season started.
00:29
And you've got two teams that are both battling to make trades for arms.
00:34
And there was one trade that was made yesterday where the Padres had gotten a pitcher from
00:38
Miami and according to the reports, the Dodgers were also in on potentially trying to trade
00:45
for this guy.
00:47
And they just kept kind of raising the stakes.
00:49
So the Padres had to put in more and more to get the guy that they wanted.
00:53
Alex, let's go through everything that the Padres and the Dodgers did yesterday.
00:59
How about we pay attention to the ones that matter for the Dodgers real quick?
01:05
Cause you know, 10 minutes before the trade deadline, I was like, dude, they're really
01:08
not going to do anything other than get a broken Tommy Edmond like in, in a, in an unreliable
01:13
middle reliever.
01:14
Like, are they really not going to add to this starting rotation?
01:17
And then of course the Dodgers being the Dodgers, they get the big fish and they get clarity
01:22
from the Tigers.
01:23
Who's so far this season, seven and five to nine, five ERA, 133 strikeouts to 19 walks,
01:30
five and one through June and July.
01:32
So he's really stepped it up here.
01:34
And now the Dodgers who we all assume needed starting pitching, got starting pitching.
01:38
But that guy flarity.
01:39
I mean, I'm not exactly sitting around watching Detroit Tigers baseball all the time.
01:44
So I don't want to act like I'm equivalent of them getting Max Scherzer.
01:47
No, it's not.
01:48
A couple of years ago.
01:49
Right.
01:50
I think he got clarity a few years ago.
01:52
I'm talking like five years ago.
01:54
He's like a Cy Young Kennedy.
01:55
I think he finished fourth in the Cy Young in 2019.
01:58
You'd have to fact check me, but I'm like 99.9% sure.
02:02
And then in the last, like last season, I think he was in St. Louis and in Baltimore
02:07
and he did, he was a deadline day deal to Baltimore.
02:12
And he was awful once he got to Baltimore for their final stretch, didn't even start
02:15
a game in the playoffs for them.
02:16
So there you go.
02:17
So you get what I'm saying is that like five years ago, he was a Cy Young candidate.
02:22
Then last year, he's not really doing that great.
02:26
And he gets traded.
02:27
And to your point, he doesn't really perform for Baltimore, but he's made a massive comeback
02:31
in his career this year.
02:33
And the Dodgers went out and said, we need an arm.
02:36
He was the best guy available.
02:37
They went out and got him because you don't know what's going to happen because like you
02:40
look at tonight's game, Padres Dodgers for the Padres is Dylan cease coming off of a
02:44
no hitter.
02:45
So for the Padres, it's a, it's Clayton Kershaw who's coming off of his, what did I say?
02:52
What did I say?
02:53
Oh, you said Padres again.
02:54
It's all good.
02:55
Sorry for the Padres.
02:56
It's Dylan cease coming off of a no hitter for the Dodgers.
02:58
It's Clayton Kershaw coming off of his first start of the entire season where he only gave
03:01
you four innings.
03:02
So advantage San Diego tonight.
03:05
Ooh, listen, this is a big matchup.
03:09
I know Clayton Kershaw isn't what he used to be, but that name and that color that still
03:13
resonates that still gets people to the television and the LNC is coming off a no hitter.
03:19
This is a big pitching matchup and now you added to what happened last night.
03:23
The atmosphere for this game, it's going to be in the air.
03:26
And I would assume that I would assume that a lot of the guys they got yesterday or the
03:30
day before or should be in town tonight and they're going to need it because the Padres
03:34
went through a lot of bullpen yesterday.
03:36
So which has been, you know, I know people disagree with, I didn't think it was their
03:39
biggest need and I know they, they needed to help that bullpen.
03:44
I mean, Robert Suarez has come in and I believe 13 non-save situations this season.
03:48
That's not ideal.
03:49
So now they really did bolster their, their bullpen.
03:52
They got Jason Adam.
03:54
They got Tanner Scott, who was the Marlins all-star and that's what I was talking about.
03:57
Yeah.
03:58
Yeah.
03:59
So this is what it looked since the beginning of the baseball season, March, February, spring
04:03
training.
04:04
This is every player that's come in and every prospect slash player that's gone out so far
04:10
for the Padres this season.
04:12
Look at this list.
04:13
It's not edited at all.
04:15
I know it feels like years ago, but Dylan cease was acquired in March.
04:19
Louisa dies was acquired in April and I didn't, you know, sync up the, the, the trades to
04:24
who they got for who I'm just telling you, this is everybody that the projects have got
04:28
Jason Adam, the relief pitcher, Tanner Scott, Brian Hoeing's a relief pitcher, Brandon Lockridge
04:32
is like a triple a guy and Martin Perez, who's this year's Rich Hill.
04:36
In my opinion, I don't think you're going to do much, but Hey, they got the guy.
04:38
He can start some games if you need them, but, but look at the other side of the screen,
04:42
the outgoing side, you see the number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
04:50
Those prospects to 13 are gone.
04:53
You have one and then you have 14 through 23 because after that, but bottom line is
05:00
this.
05:01
The Padres have traded away their entire minor league system to try and win.
05:06
Now we thought they were aggressive when they went and got Juan Soto two years ago.
05:10
They have nothing left as of today in their system.
05:14
Oh, nothing.
05:15
They're willing to trade.
05:16
They're not going to trade.
05:17
Correct.
05:18
They're not going to trade debris.
05:19
Other than that, they're got nothing.
