welcome back endgame fam endgame baseball fam we’re not quite halfway through the week but we’re here as always on this fine Wednesday to kind of go over what’s been taking place on the week what’s upcoming on the week and of course most importantly to help you with your questions about your fantasy baseball teams to help you take home that W or maybe just you know increase your points in your categories or whatever type of League you’re in I know one thing I’m learning about fantasy baseball all all kinds of leagues so whatever you need help with we got you covered and we’re going to start with I guess some good news which is always good to have good news players coming back from injury which is always nice because they’re not doing much for you when they’re injured we got Blake Snell Ryan pepio and Chris Bryant coming off of iel let’s start with Chris Bryant I remember Chris Bryant back in college with the first BB core bats demolishing home runs at a ridiculous rate and then I feel like he was good in the early days of his career but looking the last few years uh let’s see since 2021 has not had more than has not even reached 20 home runs in a season has never oh hit 300 one time I guess uh so what’s the expectations here for 32-year-old Chris Bryant who really hasn’t been all that good recently anyways um not much not much and like he’s a headliner he’s still got that name value of course Cubs fans will always remember him but uh ever since he’s left Chicago we’ve seen not much from him and ever since he’s been to Colorado which you thought would be a great hitting environment uh it hasn’t and I don’t think it has anything to do with that but look I I honestly feel like it’s been five years since I kind of said yeah I’m out on Chris Bryant I don’t expect a comeback I don’t expect a whole lot um but it feels like he’s one of those players that maybe less so this year just because again he’s missed so much time with injury and really hasn’t done much recently for people to remember um still feel like there’s people kind of hoping for a comeback or thinking yeah he can do it again if he stays healthy but to me it’s not even about just the health I mean that’s obviously a big thing right you miss so many games you always have something and for him especially when it’s something like the back um it’s not just that I mean honestly I think he’s one of those players who kind of peaked at an early age you know you typically think for a hitter like the prime age is like 26 to 28 so right in that range uh and he came out of the gate obviously rookie was great second season was his best I mean it was amazing that that was it that was his Peak his second season of his career career and that was we’re getting to be like eight years ago so I like I will just say this it’s always worth speculating on whether he does kind of have a little bounce back maybe you know at least can have a hot week or two but like right now I checked and I wonder how many people have stash how many people are interested not much it’s 10% he’s 10% rostered on Yahoo right now he’s off the iil he’s not technically injured right now he just came back his first game back went I think 0 for four all right that’s that’s whatever that’s one game we’ll see if he knocks the rust off but I’ll just say this I don’t want people to go in here and start getting excited about Chris Bryant again because I really don’t think it’s uh it’s a g to be very helpful in the long run even if he does stay healthy uh no I it’s it’s it’s been way too long way too long since we could actually find a reason to buy into Chris Bryant for Fantasy okay so maybe but probably not but let’s talk about a couple pictures coming back and let’s start with the reigning S Young winner Blake Snell who is now a San Francisco Giant is returning from injury he’s made four starts this year he’s yet to go over four and two-thirds innings in any start he’s given up three or more earned runs in every start five or more in two starts he currently Sports a 11.57 erra and a 1.97 whip and is barely averaging a strikeout per inning but he won the sa young last year and he was great so are you feeling better about Blake Snell’s return that he can return to form of what we saw from Blake Snell last year or for his career or is it going to be more of the same more uh more struggles well I don’t want to come off as a hater but uh this is another betet I’m going to warn against I’ll say look if you drafted nown obviously you know you’re expecting something close to what you got last year maybe not as dominant maybe not say young whatever but he went to what should be a better situation in terms of you know for pitching is San Francisco right just the best park you can have for a pitcher um you know not that Giants are a great team but look San Diego last year wasn’t good so it’s not like he’s getting a big downgrade here or anything like that so um I will just say this didn’t draft Blake Snell anywhere and you know I played in a lot of leagues and kind of warned against him uh in some of my preseason videos now it’s easy to say look zra is terrible well he only pitched three starts right it was three games uh and then he got hurt so maybe he was being bothered by something before that who knows right so let’s throw out this year’s stats so far because it’s just an insanely small sample from a long time ago but I still have my concerns because Snell is always a guy who lives on the edge right the razer’s edge his whip even for somebody who was you know a s winner last year his whip is not great because he still walks so many guys right he depends on the strikeouts um he’s one of those guys like when he’s good he’s good right he can just be flat out dominant but when he’s not good he’s really not good so he can look terrible as he has so far in his early Giants career so be very with Blake snow so far be very careful first putting your lineup right after injury I’d be a little cautious going forward and I said this uh even the beginning of this season if you get a chance to sell move off of him because somebody believes in the reigning sa young winner and you know becoming an ace for their staff let him go all right there you go don’t be afraid to move on from if you can it’s like about one more pitcher coming back I think you might be a little more interested in we’ll find out here Ryan pepio he’s actually been pretty good this year prior to going uh getting hurt he’s appeared in seven games sportting a 3.68 ER not bad but a very nice 0.93 Whip and he also has 41 strikeouts over 36 Innings only three wins which surprising the Rays have obviously not played up to xct ation as far as win loss goes but is this a guy who you think can keep it going and can be a solid contributor for your fantasy team now coming back from injury definitely and uh it’s not just here right might call me Aegis because I’m really against the veterans there um pepio right here right now is a good pitcher and uh again keeping the whip low that is nice uh you always have worry a little bit with Rays as far as how many innings are they going to let him go especially a young pitcher somebody who is now coming off an injury uh but he actually just pitched tonight not too far four Innings three runs not dominant right for walk so his his outing today actually wasn’t great but that again to me just says that this is a possible by L all right the dogs the dogs are dogs are going wild tonight all right so let’s move on from some some players and let’s go to some teams that are starting to heat up now we’ve seen this of course this is you know baseball is a marathon we see teams go go hot and cold Cardinals are actually heating up they’ve won seven in the last 10 they just beat the Orioles I I guess their guys are starting to hit I guess I guess when you’re not hitting at all hitting a little bit feels pretty good like Paul Goldman is not continuing continuing to give me offers every single night he actually gets a hit every now and then and maybe slaps a home run if I’m lucky so is this something we can like start paying attention to and say maybe we need to take a look at this Cardinals offense or even maybe some of the pitchers or is it like yeah we we’ve seen this before they’re still not very good uh I honestly really feel like this Cardinals offense is kind of similar to the Marlins from this past weekend remember like he they won four in a row and wow look they scored some runs against the Mets and then reality sinks back in it’s still not a good lineup I mean it really should be better obviously gmid and arado and a couple of those guys should really be doing better but look at the guys who are hitting now like um Alec burlson like a lot of people heard talking about I mean he’s got this great hit streak going he’s got his average over 300 look this is not a big offensive threat this is a guy I think who’s hot right now uh but they really have kept him in the lineup because their other outfielders were so bad they got demoted to the miners uh and because he’s a good Fielder so look props to him for for you know having a good week but I’m not rushing out to pick up burlson um and then like Lars notar right this is a guy who I know a lot of people like um right now he as you call looks like a stat cast hero like oh man look at all the red but uh then you have to look at the box score what is he really giving you like what is his actual production at some point yeah like okay these things even out but not always so like what what are his actual stats right now I mean they’re they’re okay but it’s not like I don’t think he’s gonna carry your team he’s more of a power over hit tool kind of guy and I’m kind of surprised because he’s hitting uh not really for average right now but he looks like he should be hitting for a lot uh you know high in average but five home runs so far kind of underwhelming I mean he’s really kind of underwhelming on the whole yeah I did just add Lars Newar stat cast hero I would it would be nice if we were in a stat cast League I’d probably be be crushing everybody but yeah it’s like how long can you can you wait around for the stack for the numbers to catch up to stat cast I mean he’s fine I guess is a bench stash but yeah I mean look not saying he’s not streamable like you can pick him up and and you know if he’s hitting well and this offens is hitting well but I’m not some I think some people are like you know all in like this is it he’s going to break out you know just waiting for it to happen I’m not really holding out much hope for that I think he’s streamable I think the one guy who I feel a little bit better about is Nolan Gorman he was completely cold to start the season he has legit power um and he actually hit him run off a lefty the other day which is notable because he usually doesn’t do well against lefties he he’s a guy that when he is hot he is really hot and he is worth playing but then again the Downs are very down so I’d be ready to jump off as soon as he isn’t but Gorman’s the guy I would say I’d be most interested in especially if you do need um a replacement right now you know know somebody asking about Zander Bogarts that might be a great replacement cuz if he was your second baseman and Gorman qualifies a second that seems like a a natural pivot right now all right there you go and now let’s talk about a team not trending in the right direction the Rangers have only won two games in their last 10 and it’s mostly because of pitching they’re currently 18th in team erra and they have the worst Bullpen ra at 5.15 now the young guys Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford have have also been Duds and I don’t think Cory seag has quite been what we’ve wanted him to be completely yet but this is a team I think we probably feel we write the ship at some point or do we I do think yes eventually look well as far as the pitching I we got a ways to go I mean obviously deg Gro who knows if it’s not a matter of when it’s a matter of if if he is ready to pitch I mean you would think but maybe August Scherzer I mean look don’t hold your breath for those guys anytime soon Cody Bradford just had a setback he’s not coming back anytime soon he was great early on um yeah just so many injuries not just the ones already we knew about with Sherer and deg Grom and then Bradford was an early season cut thing and then ivaldi gets hurt like just it’s brutal it’s really rough but look this happens when you have a veteran team that goes deep in the postseason sometimes there’s a bit of a not just a hangover in terms of motiv I don’t think that’s the issue uh just the physical toll it takes right being out there and playing so many extra games baseball’s a long season already and then when you play like basically a month more than some other teams yeah you get a shorter time for recovery so it’s the bullpen is the real issue though here is that’s why they’re losing games because they just do not have that guy not just in the ninth inning but mean nobody’s really been dependable even the guys who were Dependable last year haven’t been this year uh they haven’t got help from guys like Jack ligher I thought would be good and for some reason just is not taken well to the majors so yeah it’s uh it’s been rough on the pitching front I would just say as far as the hitters don’t worry about Seager he’ll be fine adise has been fine seian is fine those guys in the top lineup don’t worry they’ll they’ll turn out fine at the end of the year uh the bottom of the order has not done any favors and I think so far you know out of the maybe missed calls I had the biggest L I’m taking right now is Evan Carter he’s just man he’s droppable at this point know people are asking do I have to hold him no you really don’t all right there we go so I think that’s pretty much

surely so you you mentioned this briefly G did just lose Ander Bogarts some speculation it may be a long stint on the injury list we will see so other than Gorman uh who I don’t know if he’s available in most leagues who are some underrated Short Stops that might still be look Francisco Lindor might be on a lot of Waiver Wires out there actually he’s actually he’s not because Yahoo won’t let you cut him but just an idea any any Short Stops to take a look at all right you’re tempted right I know you’re tempted but uh oh very tempted keep keep the patience there uh I I I feel you here G because I have Bogarts in a couple of leagues and I’ve been searching for Replacements myself so I can tell you now interesting to know with Bogarts uh because even though all has been a short stop this year second qualify second and short I had him at second base in those leagues so I’ve been looking and hunting for Replacements at second base but you need a short stop underrated well I’ll say right now again this is just a I’m not expecting some sort of massive breakout or anything but I did pick up Otto Lopez Marlins uh in our endgame league and I’m playing him right now so we’ll see I mean look swinging a hot bat I I really have more interest in Vidal bruhan but uh again this is for second base because he has great speed but Marlin’s aren’t running nearly as much now without mning Lee and he hasn’t hit you know nearly as well but Otto Lopez is somebody you can take a look at Kevin Newman had been hot think he’s starting to slow down but again he’s somebody who had been swinging a hot bat his time will be a little bit limited too though because Pomo will probably be back uh kind of soon so those are probably the two that pop to mind right now Newman and Lopez um I will say that I noticed that Carlos kareah is still available in almost 40% of Yahoo leagues look I know he’s been disappointing but he’s starting to heat up a little bit you know he still got some power in there uh no speed but still it’s a veteran that rather than some sort of random streamer uh you could always you know take a chance on Korea getting some power back so if he’s a able I think I still would probably say he’s my My First Choice and then uh very risky but if you’re really deep SL desperate Nick Gonzalez remember was once a high-end Prospect for the Pirates has never really stuck giving him a shot again uh got a couple of hits so we’ll see we’ll see if he can keep it you know together for a sustained period of time but those are probably the ones that again at this point you’re desperate looking for somebody under rated um those are probably the top picks all right good luck with that always tough to replace guy like bogerts for sure especially this time of the year what about replacing a guy like Julio Rodriguez who continues to either do nothing or slap singles is this enough though for Julio Rodriguez Michael Harris and thosar Hernandez you you now have had a week or about two weeks I think or a week and a half of Julio Rodriguez you now feel the pain of Julio Rodriguez if this trade is offered to you are you taking it or not I think this is close I think this is actually Fair because look Michael Harris again me look you’re not that far off from Julio because this is a top 50 drafted player in the most part you you expect you know help in every category and he’s been disappointing right he hasn’t had a great start to the season T Oscar had an amazing first couple of weeks he’s settling down a little bit but he’s driving in a lot of runs I think you’re getting comparable value here I think you could make a case for either side um I think it kind of depends on you know your team needs and where you are in the standings you know if you’re if you’re a team that’s maybe got a little cushion or at least you’re just looking for some more upside to help you uh maybe you have have too many outfielders I mean I would hope if you’re trading two for one that you can put Julio in there and you’re still okay I think I don’t mind taking on Julio obviously I did it right uh I’m expecting that second half breakout it’s gonna happen uh so I think this could go either way to be honest I think it depends on team need but if you’re looking to trade away hulio to get these two I’m not going to stop you all right there you go fair trade so if you’re if you’re tired of uh the ofers and then the hey he went three for five and he got you no counting stats go ahead take them off I don’t have any uh Julio bitterness at all all right list what’s up uh he needs to pick up two McKenzie Gore who youve red dropped for me by the way thank you I got a nice start from Mackenzie Gore Chris Paddock Alec Marsh Zack little Christian Scott Ryan weathers Nick ldo it’s a 5 by five head to-head so he wants to pick up two of these guys only two okay yeah I might regret dropping Gore again I’m not sure you know I’m a big fan of McKenzie Gore um I think I was a little worried about the schedule this week maybe and I thought I could get him back but anyways um let’s see okay when ldo has been hurt I don’t know if he said to come back right right away but I’m going to kind of just put him at the end here cuz I wouldn’t take a chance on him over these guys even if Lelo does come back I’m not sure his status right now latel eh he’s he’s fine he’s just okay to me he’s a little becoming a little too he’s come you know he’s becoming like basically every other Rays pitcher this year just very me uh so I’m going to move push him down Alec Marsh has been solid but honestly doesn’t uh interest me as much as these other guys guys so those are my last three I’m going to stick weather’s kind of in the middle I don’t like him as much as the others as he he’s been good lately but he’s more risky so I would say my top two would probably be the first two you mentioned Gore and Paddock I think they just have the best stuff I like Scott um but I’m gonna put him third but I I think it’s Gore then Paddock then Scott and then weather would be my first four in order all right there you go good luck verles go get him now I’m a little confused like the Julio one I got this one I’m a little confused of should he Tim wants to know also should he try to trade Cronin Worth or is he worth playing the rest of the way I feel like he’s been mostly good all year like he’s this one guy I’ve just had in my lineup every ever since I picked him up honestly he’s just been in my lineup and I’ve never taken him out but is it time to trade him no I mean he’s solid continues to be solid in fact just these last uh this last week he has what six RBI I mean that’s what you’re getting from him right is he’s going to be a steady RBI contributor his average is good not great but it definitely doesn’t hurt you home runs okay not not going to be amazing but he’s still getting you some home runs but yeah he’s getting you those RBI um so you know I don’t think he’s kind of one of those guys who’s value is never going to fluctuate that much right nobody’s going to confuse him for like a superstar player but he’s also not waiver wire F like he should be owned pretty much everywhere so yeah worth playing the rest of the way all right yeah not one of the guys I was worried about that’s for sure uh by with bell what’s up his relievers in a 12 team save and holds League are Mason Miller Jordan Romano sorry sorry to hear that uh Tyler Scott I don’t know who Jax is Claus and Holderman so if you’re going to try to trade one of these guys which one would you be looking to trade who to trade okay uh saves and holds category League I would say the guy I’m not GNA trade is Mason Miller in fact I just talked about Mason Miller on the Milo video so that tells you what I think about Mason Miller and then um which is of course ironic this is funny way have to talk about it you guys are on here you probably already watched that video the Boo video uh made a big long point about how you panicked about Mason Miller because you didn’t have a single save in the month of May because I uh did that video about 30 minutes before the end of the Oakland A game late on the west coast where he of course picked up the sa so but it took him three weeks to get a save anyways masoner’s fine keep simar class is your solid you know no doubt safe goto closer don’t worry about him keep him I don’t know what Scott’s value is right now but I think you would want to try to trade him ja he’s not really the closer is he he’s like the semi sort of closer I’m not giving up on Duran I would say try to flip one of those guys Scott or Jack all right there you go flip Scott or ja and then unknown screwdriver what’s up uh he wants to know if he should try to trade Cole Reagan for a hitter so now if you so his his main guys are crochet Lardo Mitch Keller and pepio now if you remember way back I think it was week one or week two very early in the season he traded remember he traded for Kyle Tucker I if you remember that now then he traded T KY Tucker away for Reagan and Keller which he said he doesn’t think was that smart but he’s been winning so now maybe he should should he trade Reagans for Kyle Tucker well he wants to trade Reagan for a hitter what do you think I mean if you can get Cal Tucker back already which I doubt um no I’d rather have Reagan I mean look you you gave up the guy who right now happens to be leading the majors in home runs okay I mean Tucker’s a stud you knew that right it’s not like all of a sudden like hey who’s this KY Tucker you knew he was a a stud right you got two guys look I I love Reagan I don’t love Kell that’s no secret I’ve always said this right I’m in on Reagans I’m not on Keller so I would say no keep Reagan I think it’s so valuable having and honestly the rest of your pitchers your main guys I like brochet Lardo will like uh even better when he gets traded and I like pepio I still don’t like Mitch Keller so I would say trade Mitch Keller to get a hitter you’re not gonna get as good a hitter but I would still try to do it all right keep reagin try to trade Keller don’t worry we all we all make trades we regret all right steuart Jimenez what’s up wants to know should I trade Michael Harris is this Michael Harris for Austin Riley are we trading Braves here or is he saying should he trade Michael Harris Plus Austin Riley like one to one swapping Braves players Braves hitters uh uh well if you’re asking who I’d rather have I think I’d still rather have Riley this is interesting because you’re talking about guys who have slightly different uh skill sets and profiles I mean you’re looking for power you’re looking for Speed um but overall I and look both guys have really kind of underachieved in fact at this point is there a single Braves hitter other than maybe Aussie albz uh and I yes technically Travis darno that we can say hasn’t underachieved this year based on expectations so I would still say I’d rather have atin Riley he said he’s a little afraid because Riley hasn’t played in a while but this is exactly why um last week the Boo video just came out today last week in the boo Austin Riley why because of exactly this you’re worried about Riley you know he hasn’t played is something up it’s as far as I know unless something weird comes out and look I I don’t want to be I don’t want to be you know liable here like tomorrow they’re like oh we we discover that there’s some fracture and okay as far as I know there’s nothing majorly wrong with with Riley otherwise they would have said so by now right they would have put him on iil and said he’s out for a while so assuming it’s nothing major at last I heard it was just like some inflammation um then i’ say this presents a by low and you know I don’t even think Harris that’s really you’re not really buying that low I think it’s pretty fair I mean Riley was drafted before Harris you know for the most part but I think that’s fine I wouldn’t worry about albz Tim is saying he’s worried about albz he’s probably the one Brave I’d be least worried about all right there you go pull the trigger uh I know a screwdriver following up there he did just get an offer somebody just sent him an offer CJ Abrams and ronell Blanco for Reagan is that enough for you to pull the trigger now that’s an interesting trade because now we’re talking about a hitter who I mean again top 50 draft pick could should be fantasy stud now Abrams I think and I haven’t talked about him I think this might be getting to the time where you’re buying low looks like you are buying low now Blanco is interesting because you know we talked about him last week I mean he’s still waiting for that suspension to end right so once he comes back is he going to be the same guy or is he gonna look different without the sticky stuff you gotta Wonder or is he just going to keep doing it and wait till he gets caught again I mean that’s also very that’s probably what’s gonna happen right it’s not like he’s gonna stop doing it all together ah man I mean I I hate to give up Reagan but for Abrams I do think you need to do that because you are getting a pitcher I think it’s worth a shot here I think I would do that all right well there you go you got you got a good offer go ahead and take it all right we got kale Alman he’s got kersa yita Jung and Tyler baz all on the I and he only has four I slots and now Ander Bogarts of course just went on the 10day I so if this is your team are you dropping any of those four guys or are you just wasting a roster spot on a guy who’s on the I but can’t be put on the is on your fantasy team and first of all kale feel your pain I know there’s one League where I have so many injured players uh that my I spots already full and I have three guys that are just on my bench injured like on the I uh and I don’t want to drop them because they’re actually good players so I will say this unfortunately Josh he’s a player I do have in a couple leagues he is not coming back real soon in fact they just said he had some sort of a setback which is not what you want to hear but I think I’m holding on to him because you getting him in the second half still G to be valuable Yoshida shouldn’t be that long much longer in the I baz You’ been holding him you’ve been waiting for him honestly I’m dropping Kershaw because when he comes back look Clayton Kershaw great great career great pitcher Hall of Fame all that that was a long time ago right that that he was dominant and when if when he comes back he’s going to be how what three Innings four Innings we’re lucky we get to see him actually get a win because he pitches five innings uh it’s it’s not going to be worth it so I’m dropping Kershaw all right there you go drop Kershaw all right LSD just traded Jazz Chism ah man for Randy razaa Rosara and Paul gold Schmid do you think all right these guys will play like themselves soon so this interesting trade we’re buying the dip times two right these are two by lows in one I like it I like the deal look if we if we think preseason expectations let’s pretend that you know April and May didn’t exist from here on out what are we expecting from AA righta he should be more valuable at least equal if not more valuable than Jazz straight up if gold Schmid is even like half of what he was last year then he’s at least startable at first base so this could be a very big upgrade for you could be a great deal now what if Rosena just isn’t the same what if he does you know hit 230 the rest the way you’re still not taking that big a hit because he is stealing bases uh in fact off hand I want to say he probably has more steals than Jazz I don’t really remember but and then um he should hit for power so I think this is a a good deal for you and yes I do think for the most part they’ll play like themselves yes let’s hope let’s hope all right un unknown screwdriver again Paul goid Lars bootar I like that name better new bar Lars boot bar reminds people like like a country line dancing bar or something Tommy fam and Justin Turner are on the waiver wire he needs somebody for his utility spot which one of these guys you want well I mean uh I think any of them could be serviceable Turner was the only blue jay who was actually hitting well to start the season and now that’s kind of gone out the window too uh man for right now I can’t put Tommy fam over those guys it just can’t I think I’m gonna pick up Goldie and just hope that he winds up being you know mostly himself the rest of the year I think you got to still go with gold Schmid because it’s not like any of these other guys are lighted out fam was hot but let’s remember he’s on the white socks um unless you really really need speed but it’s not like he’s stealing that many bases so I’m going to go Goldie all right go get gold Schmid and now we haven’t had our our weekly cbor torus question yet but Al bringing our semi-weekly Corbin Carroll question he just wants to hear anything encouraging about Corbin Carroll just do any glimmer of hope and what could he even get is it even worth trying to trade this guy right now are you getting anything in return well uh you maybe you can get glaber Tores I don’t know uh yeah it’s it’s not good honestly I wish I could point to something uh because at least in the beginning of the Season you’re like well at least he got me a few Steals and then now he’s not even doing that in fact um kind of looking here in fact in the month of May which I believe we’re now three weeks into May uh he has not stolen a base so that’s not good uh and his batting average is exactly the same it’s exactly exactly the same um he was good last year what’s going on was last was last year just a fluke like what’s going like what’s going on here he’s so bad honestly it’s got to be something physical there was a shoulder injury last year threw him off power di a little bit but we didn’t hear anything preseason didn’t you know didn’t have any signs that there were something there’s got to be something else going on so honestly at this point it wouldn’t shock me if we hear pretty soon that you know something’s bothering him they’re going to put him on the iil uh this might just be a solo candidate I hate to go there right now but look you don’t want to also just drop a guy like this get nothing for him so what could you ask for him yeah maybe like a bag of baseballs like you know one of those you know when you get baseball cards they probably don’t do this anymore I guarantee they don’t but you know that that stick of gum that comes in the pack harder than a rock and not chewable maybe you can get a stick of gum for yeah who thought that he’s like he put a stick of gum in baseball card packs and he’ll just sit there for like months get all steal very much not airtight seal like the thing it’s like already loose and you just open it and it’s there yes yes all right Tim has another trade question uh Edwin Diaz is that doval for Camilo doval and and a slight Improvement to another position I don’t know what that is don’t know what that means but okay like I guess Deval plus something thing like a bench player or like a marginally better player um sure because I like Deval honestly Deval to me was one of those closers that I said preseason you know I did like a my guys video like guy I’m going to draft over and over again instead of pulling the trigger super early on haer and Edwin Diaz and those closers which I know easy to say right now it looks brilliant but uh I I just didn’t want to spend a very early pick on a closer but I still want to lock down closer I was like I’m just going to go with dval he feels safe to me good good situation he’s solid um even if Edwin Diaz comes back and is oh it’s Edwin Diaz you know that from two years ago it’s not that big an upgrade over Deval I I will take Deval plus one all right there you go Tim and Tim Tim was a fan of that gum said it was good Nostalgia can play tricks in our minds sir definitely definitely all right looks like we are all caught up on the chats tonight kind of a light night but you know we did get off to a later start today and it is a it is a Wednesday so we are kind of getting into the dog days of summer here right where the excitement of the of the
