00:00Devers spoke to the media before the game yesterday and said he's willing to
00:03play wherever the Giants need him to play.
00:06Imagine that after he refused to do anything for the Red Sox.
00:10He was ready to do anything for San Francisco.
00:14And I got to tell you, I think this guy, Bresla, whatever his name is,
00:20I think he's a fool for this deal.
00:24And I think, you know, I've said it over and over.
00:26I think it's going to pay off for the Giants.
00:28It already has.
00:29The guy played one game and he's driving in runs and hitting doubles to the wall.
00:34And the fans love him instantaneously.
00:37How do you think it's going to work out with him in terms of like long term?
00:42Like we talked about it earlier.
00:44You think it's going to help them?
00:45Like, I think they're a playoff team, a wildcard team, without a doubt.
00:49And I think they're going to get even better with him and Chapman in the lineup.
00:53But long term, this guy, Bresla said, he thinks that they're not going to regret trading him.
00:59Did they regret trading Mookie Betts?
01:03That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
01:04And by the way, Boston, you set up this situation.
01:07They're calling this guy a diva.
01:09Don't be a meatball and have guys playing same positions.
01:11The guy's a young guy.
01:12He didn't want to DH.
01:13And you know what?
01:14Now he's sticking it to Boston because these guys wouldn't go on.
01:16Like, that's the whole thing.
01:18Like, sure, Devers is a little bit of a diva.
01:20And I heard Ortiz come out and talk to him.
01:22But he already made it clear.
01:24And you kept on doing this.
01:25Like, the guy basically said, screw you guys.
01:27I'm done with the Red Sox.
01:29I'll go somewhere else.
01:30They get fleeced in a deal.
01:31The Giants are better.
01:32That's what the Red Sox do, right?
01:34Like, it's one of those situations where, you know, they got a problem with the guy.
01:37Get rid of him.
01:37Good luck.
01:38You think your team's going to get any better?
01:40Should have worked it out.
01:41Should have been smarter.
01:42Good on the Giants.
01:42Like, now they can compete with the Padres and Dodgers.
01:45One team's trash is another team's fortune and gold.
01:51And I'll tell you this much.
01:53Like, I totally, for the most part, respect Ortiz's career.
01:59I think he was a juicer, too.
02:01And I think he got away with it.
02:03He got away with murder.
02:04Like, no one believed it because everyone loves Poppy so much.
02:08They couldn't imagine that he was involved in it as well, which I think he was.
02:11Personally, that's my opinion.
02:13And secondly, I'll just say this.
02:15Like, I thought he was a great hitter.
02:17There's no getting around it.
02:19And a winner and a champion.
02:21I'll give him that.
02:23But no one cares what you think anymore about this.
02:26Like, he's trying to, like, talk about what they did wrong and what Devers did wrong.
02:31And he should have talked to him.
02:32And he could have told him how to handle it better.
02:35And that may be right.
02:37That may be right.
02:38But let's get real here for a second.
02:40No superstar player today making $325 million wants to listen to some old player give him any advice.
02:47You're right, Scott.
02:48And the other thing is, too, that he gave the Red Sox a warning.
02:51It's one of those situations.
02:53It's like, here's what I want.
02:54And it's like, no, no, no.
02:55Oh, he's a malcontent.
02:57Really?
02:58You guys knew about this situation.
02:59It's not just Devers' fault.
03:01He could have been more of a team player.
03:02He's your best player.
03:04Yes.
03:04And that's another thing.
03:05He doesn't want to do that.
03:06He doesn't want to DH.
03:07He's like, and now, because they treated him like that, he's going to go, I'll do anything for the San Francisco Giants just to spite you turkeys for getting rid of me.
03:16And you know what?
03:17That's fine.
03:19I think they're laughing all the way to the bank.
03:21Yes.
03:22You know what it reminds me of?
03:23And I said this yesterday.
03:24It's, and I think I mentioned to you, like, it's like one floor down from Barry Bonds.
03:30When they got Bonds, they were never the same.
03:33They went to the World Series.
03:34They didn't win, but they went to the World Series.
03:37And Bonds, what he did in San Francisco was, you know, in the stratosphere, okay?
03:43And whether you like it or not, everyone was juicing.
03:46So, Barry Bonds was one of many, like, hundreds of guys doing it.
03:52And you're going to blame Barry Bonds for all that?
03:53That's like blaming A-Rod or Ortiz or anyone else.
03:57Now they get this guy.
03:58I said this to Gabe.
04:00They blew it on Judge.
04:02They blew it on Ohtani, but they went for it.
04:05And now they get this guy for $230, $250 million.
04:09Bottom line is, the other guys, look at Soto, what he got.
04:13Look what Judge got.
04:14Look what Ohtani got.
04:17Like, this is like blue light special deal for Roth Devers.
