00:00
I'm not justifying the lack of a return because they saved some money.
00:03
I don't care about that.
00:03
And that part is just really hard to defend because as a fan,
00:06
you're like, all right,
00:07
we're already spending through the nose to go to these games.
00:09
It's the most expensive ticket,
00:10
the most expensive beer and hot dog.
00:12
Like it's,
00:13
it's the whole thing.
00:14
So I,
00:14
you want to spend money on the team and for years,
00:18
they kind of haven't.
00:20
Then they kind of did.
00:21
It's funny because Devers was one of the guys that they did.
00:22
It was like,
00:23
they'll never sign another $300 million deal.
00:24
They're not going to give it to Mookie Betts.
00:26
They're not going to give it to anybody.
00:27
They do sign Devers.
00:28
This is another thing Julie McWilliams had in the story.
00:30
Bloom didn't want to give Devers the contract.
00:32
Ownership was like,
00:34
we got to pay somebody.
00:35
We didn't pay Bogarts.
00:36
We didn't pay Betts.
00:38
They're freaking out.
00:38
So we're going to,
00:39
we have to pay Devers.
00:40
That was an ownership call.
00:41
Yeah.
00:41
They got kind of bullied into it.
00:43
But then I think they realized like,
00:44
oh man,
00:45
like we don't,
00:46
we don't want this guy anymore,
00:48
but where they can get a little bit off the hook,
00:51
it would be not in the next month or so.
00:53
I don't think,
00:54
but more so in the off season,
00:55
which is too bad because we have a season to play.
00:58
They just have won five in a row.
01:00
You're like,
01:00
all right,
01:00
maybe they can make a run at this thing.
01:02
You remove one of your best hitters.
01:03
You don't really add anything.
01:04
That's going to help this team.
01:05
Do you think they're done making moves?
01:08
No,
01:08
no,
01:08
no.
01:08
Do you think they're like done?
01:09
Like they had turned their season around.
01:11
It felt like,
01:11
do you think,
01:12
do you think they're going to go back into the toilet?
01:14
Or do you think they can keep the momentum going without Devers?
01:16
No,
01:16
I think they can definitely keep the momentum going without Devers.
01:18
Me too.
01:18
I think they could,
01:19
they could spark it.
01:20
I mean,
01:20
look at a guy,
01:20
they trade Garrett Crochet.
01:22
They trade him.
01:23
No,
01:23
he's still on the team every fifth day.
01:24
Like,
01:24
I think they're going to be,
01:26
I think they're going to be all right.
01:27
I think other guys are going to step up.
01:28
There's going to be some more opportunity for some other guys.
01:30
It could be a little bit of a rallying cry in there too.
01:33
Whether the teammates are like glad that he's gone or whether they're
01:36
pissed that he's gone.
01:37
There's that.
01:38
Yeah.
01:38
Like the players might,
01:39
he's a rain cloud hovering over the team.
01:43
And so there is that element.
01:45
You need Anthony and Meyer to start hitting.
01:46
Like,
01:47
no,
01:47
like no more.
01:48
Okay.
01:48
They just got here.
01:49
Yeah.
01:49
No more.
01:50
That was good contact.
01:51
No,
01:51
you guys need to get on base and you need Bregman back.
01:54
But yeah,
01:54
I think,
01:54
I think they can keep winning without Devers.
01:56
Uh,
01:57
he hasn't been hitting basically all month.
01:58
I know he had a home run the other,
01:59
uh,
01:59
yesterday.
02:00
He hasn't been hitting in June and they've been red hot.
02:02
So I think we're in,
02:04
I understand people being upset because they're like,
02:06
oh,
02:06
that seemed like a salary dump more than anything else.
02:09
But I think it's just the circumstances.
02:11
It wasn't going to,
02:12
they didn't go into the year thinking,
02:14
all right,
02:14
we'll find a way to dump his salary.
02:17
Like it came to a head when both your corner infielders get.
