Do the Phillies need a lockdown reliever or a bat?

The Phillies enjoyed a crazy comeback victory on Tuesday night in Washington, but we’re here to talk trades.

What trades should the Phillies make before the Aug. 3 trade deadline? A reliable bullpen arm would be huge for this team. But so would a bat. The problem is: can the Phillies do both? Can they possibly acquire an impact reliever and an impact bat with a farm system that ranks among the bottom 10 in Major League Baseball?

Aroldis Chapman, Byron Buxton, Seiya Suzuki, Tarik Skubal, Taylor Ward, Jo Addell, Jeremy Pena and more!

Speaker 1: Alright, this is Chase that least, this is the Phillies show. Hey, Now,

Speaker 1: Phillies big, big comeback win on Tuesday night at Nationals Park,

Speaker 1: eight runs with two outs. Jim Rubin, I had this

Speaker 1: whole show plan. We were going to talk trade possibilities

Speaker 1: for the Phillies, you know, they need to make some moves,

Speaker 1: but I feel like we have to talk about this

Speaker 1: crazy first pitch for a comeback when it is time

Speaker 1: for first pitch. First pitch is powered by Monster Energy.

Speaker 1: So the Phillies. In case you missed it, Casey turned

Speaker 1: off about me energy. Yeah, in Casey turned off the TV,

Speaker 1: and you might have because the Phillies took a eight

Speaker 1: six six' five. Lead in the top of the eighth.

Speaker 1: Inning Ryan kirkering comes. In he's been pitching great for.

Speaker 1: Weeks he's been pitching great for. Weeks he gives up.

Speaker 1: Three now they're down eight to. Six click click. CLICK

Speaker 1: a lot of people turn off the, game Right PHILLIES

Speaker 1: A Mundo sosa strikes out. Swinging Justin crawford strikes out.

Speaker 1: Looking Trey turners down to his last strike two to

Speaker 1: two pitch Singles brandon marsh two run homer and ties,

Speaker 1: It Bryce harper, Singles Derek hill pinch hits because They

Speaker 1: philly has lost THE dh he, singles and Then bryce

Speaker 1: And stott does His carlton fisk lean shot down the

Speaker 1: right field line as he hits a three run. Homer

Speaker 1: it makes it eleven. Eight it goes on from. THERE

Speaker 1: i Think tom McCarthy said after the game was the

Speaker 1: first time In phillies' history The phillies have scored scored

Speaker 1: eight runs with two outs in the ninth inning before an. Enfranchise.

Speaker 1: History just absolutely incredible.

Speaker 2: WIN i mean they go on WITH jt walks When

Speaker 2: conus gets a, knock so sud doubles up with the

Speaker 2: centerfield wall or.

Speaker 3: Whatever, yeah, yeah something like.

Speaker 2: That then another, walk then another, single and THEN i

Speaker 2: mean it's. Insane fourteen freaking runs and eight of them

Speaker 2: we're were two.

Speaker 3: Outs, yeah it never.

Speaker 1: Happens that never. Happens that Was that was.

Speaker 4: Wild Jem, oh it was a lot of fun to.

Speaker 4: Watch i'll tell you. What, MARSH i had a feeling

Speaker 4: when he came up because he's been so. Hot this

Speaker 4: seems Like Brandon marsh's, year AND i had a feeling

Speaker 4: he was going to do. Something and the way he

Speaker 4: used the bat head on that. Ball it jumped off

Speaker 4: his bat head like you, know a golf ball off a.

Speaker 4: Driver it just, boom it. Jumped and So so too

Speaker 4: hit two balls tonight where he really used the bath

Speaker 4: head like a. WEAPON i just love it when guys do.

Speaker 4: That and those were three just great swings And trey

Speaker 4: that was a heck of a heck of a, moment

Speaker 4: heck of. It that BAD jt had a big hit

Speaker 4: in there.

Speaker 2: Too and then stop the gas loaded bases, loaded two,

Speaker 2: outs two.

Speaker 4: Strikes, yeah me, too, DOWN i mean he was you,

Speaker 4: know he hits that ball in the. Seats just game

Speaker 4: of inchest you, know Just mitch just getting caught and

Speaker 4: Then woods just misses making that. Catch, so you, know

Speaker 4: a couple of, Guys trey AND jt come up, with you,

Speaker 4: know very big, hits you, know in a year when

Speaker 4: you know they've been criticized a lot for not getting

Speaker 4: enough big. Hits but this is two games now in

Speaker 4: a in a handful of days where they've had seventeen

Speaker 4: hits in each, game a lot of late, offense and you,

Speaker 4: know not to be, negative But lozardo gives up. Five

Speaker 4: he's such a different picture with men on, base they

Speaker 4: didn't make a couple of plays behind him all of a,

Speaker 4: sudden this's men on. Base all of a, sudden they're

Speaker 4: crossing home. Plate but the team showed real toughness coming

Speaker 4: back and getting that victory Without schwarber in the. Lineup

Speaker 4: very very good. Entertaining When i'm sure they are buoyant

Speaker 4: in that clubhosts.

Speaker 2: You, no that's pretty, happy and it did cover up

Speaker 2: some real flaws early in that. Game you kind of

Speaker 2: talked about a little, Bit. Jim the defensive effort By Trey.

Speaker 2: Turner not, great couple of plays that probably should have been,

Speaker 2: made not easy, plays but plays that should be made

Speaker 2: by a championship caliber.

Speaker 3: Shortstop and those are sort.

Speaker 2: Of the some of the issues that become of concern

Speaker 2: because that makes that inning snowball For.

Speaker 3: Lozardo lozardo needs people to make plays for.

Speaker 2: Him every pitcher needs to make plays for, him needs

Speaker 2: players to make plays for, him because he has struggled

Speaker 2: with men on base and pitching over some of those.

Speaker 3: Mistakes AND i think that that's something.

Speaker 2: That's going to have to come with a little bit more.

Speaker 2: Maturity he's going to have to work through. That BECAUSE i,

Speaker 2: remember like there was a time When Cole hamil's every

Speaker 2: once in a while there was like a cheap. Hit

Speaker 2: all of a, sudden he get a little he would

Speaker 2: get a little upset about, that and all of a,

Speaker 2: sudden boom a home, run and you're like, going oh,

Speaker 2: man but that with, maturity he got over that and

Speaker 2: started pitching over that.

Speaker 3: And went to the mantra of the Old Roy.

Speaker 2: Halliday, OKAY i got to execute my next pitch instead

Speaker 2: of worrying what just. Happened so hopefully That lozarda can

Speaker 2: get over, that and Hopefully Trey turner can start playing

Speaker 2: a little bit better.

Speaker 3: Defense you're.

Speaker 4: RIGHT i, mean it's not the errors that kill, you

Speaker 4: it's the plays that should be made that are. Scored

Speaker 4: base hits that sharp teams make they kill. You especially With,

Speaker 4: lolzardo he's like a different guy with men on. BASE

Speaker 4: i don't. Know his sweeper was magnificent. Tonight he had

Speaker 4: a what do you? Have a dozen? Strikeouts but he

Speaker 4: Don't he JUST i don't know if he pitches tight

Speaker 4: with men on. Base but there's something just a little bit,

Speaker 4: different no. Doubt BUT i feel like we're raining on

Speaker 4: this awesome win that was a, spectacular fun come back

Speaker 4: where you know a lot of guys with the game

Speaker 4: on the, line had their best at and most productive

Speaker 4: at bats of the.

Speaker 1: Night Brandon marsh really making a strong case for that

Speaker 1: starting spot in THE Nl Outfit All Star. Game that's

Speaker 1: the type of game that people noticed around the. Country

Speaker 1: carolina luss. Us you can go to The phillieshowshop dot

Speaker 1: com to get your gear as. Well, so, guys we

Speaker 1: went into the show planning to talk, trades but we

Speaker 1: had to talk about that comeback when that was absolutely.

Speaker 1: Insane but let's talk trades as of right. Now if

Speaker 1: you had to rank your order of what you would

Speaker 1: like to get done the, Most. Ruben you can only

Speaker 1: make one, Trade you can only fill one. Hole what's

Speaker 1: it gonna? Be is it gonna be a? Bat is

Speaker 1: it gonna be a? Starter is it gonna be another

Speaker 1: setup guy to help Out Juan duran in the late?

Speaker 2: Innings SO i have toiled with this in my mind

Speaker 2: so much IF i was sitting In Dave dombrowski.

Speaker 3: Seat so the goal here is to win A World, series, Right.

Speaker 2: So for you to win A World, series you gotta

Speaker 2: have at least two knockdown pitchers and probably. Three so

Speaker 2: they sort of have that In sanchez And wheeler and

Speaker 2: a half a one In lozardo as far as lockdown,

Speaker 2: right And lozardo's actually pitched well in the, playoffs so

Speaker 2: you gotta hope that he will.

Speaker 3: Step forward and do. That so you got to have three.

Speaker 2: Guys you also have to have a closer who can

Speaker 2: close out the, game and those are like a, must

Speaker 2: and you have that. Guy the bullpen piece is still

Speaker 2: a question, mark and this is WHERE i toil because

Speaker 2: you sort of have to have somebody other than the

Speaker 2: closer who can get really really important four.

Speaker 3: Or five outs in a game for.

Speaker 2: You and my toil is do they get the bat

Speaker 2: so that they can lengthen out their lineup or be more,

Speaker 2: fortified or do they get the bullpen piece that is

Speaker 2: going to hand the baseball To Juwan?

Speaker 3: Deron AND i have been up at night thinking about

Speaker 3: this on the.

Speaker 2: Daily what Would Dave dombrowski do IF i had one.

Speaker 3: Move to MAKE.

Speaker 2: Ww AND i, think AND i, think AND i THINK

Speaker 2: i would do the bullpen.

Speaker 1: Piece would you really?

Speaker 2: INTERESTING i THINK i would do the bullpen piece because

Speaker 2: at the end of the, day you hope you never

Speaker 2: know they've gone. Cold you hope that they get enough

Speaker 2: hot guys at the right time, offensively and then you

Speaker 2: got to shut down the.

Speaker 3: GAME i think about this a.

Speaker 2: Lot The phillies lost games in the last few years

Speaker 2: by not being able to get important outs late in the.

Speaker 2: Game and if they can get him and throw up

Speaker 2: zeros and they can get another lockdown.

Speaker 3: Guy maybe it's a rolled As, Chapman we've talked about him.

Speaker 3: Before maybe it's somebody like. That But i'm thinking about

Speaker 3: those big ass.

Speaker 2: Arms that can bring you and there they are the bullpen,

Speaker 2: Pieces so you are absolutely. Brilliant is Its? Chapman is

Speaker 2: It Pete fairbanks.

Speaker 3: Probably.

Speaker 2: Not he's probably not year you're not doing. Well but

Speaker 2: the Guy Rico garcia great, names these are. GREAT i,

Speaker 2: Mean Sansa, TELLA i just don't. KNOW i can't trust

Speaker 2: him because he's.

Speaker 3: Never really done it when it's really.

Speaker 2: Counted Eras chapman's my Guy's.

Speaker 4: YEAH i, MEAN i would love that. Idea and you've

Speaker 4: been talking about that for a couple of, months and

Speaker 4: that's a movie. Make to win The World, series they

Speaker 4: they they're gonna then they would have to score some

Speaker 4: runs and this offense would really have to continue to come.

Speaker 4: Around BUT i, mean you're. Right the last two, years

Speaker 4: the last three, years really they have blown games in that.

Speaker 4: Bullpen it's been it's been, understated under talked, about flaw

Speaker 4: in the last Three, octobers Twenty, kimberl.

Speaker 3: All those, guys they couldn't get it.

Speaker 4: Done and the numbers in the last Two october's six

Speaker 4: blown saves and a six over six era in the

Speaker 4: bullpen and both game ones the last two years and

Speaker 4: short series where game ones are, vital they lost leads

Speaker 4: in the. Bullpen you win those game ones and it

Speaker 4: might be. Different So i'm picking up and.

Speaker 2: Changed the whole makeup of the. Game even if they

Speaker 2: never scored, runs they still got to prevent.

Speaker 4: Them the series changed the series losing a uh for you,

Speaker 4: know blowing a lead, late Losing game one in a

Speaker 4: five game. Series and they have had bullpen issues a

Speaker 4: big time In OCTOBER'S i think people focus on the

Speaker 4: offense just, going you, know grinding to a, Halt but the.

Speaker 4: BULLPEN i, mean IF i could Get, CHAPMAN i mean

Speaker 4: that is really but you're gonna have to give up

Speaker 4: a haul to get that guy because that's a piece

Speaker 4: you get to win The World. Series and one THING

Speaker 4: i will, say you are right mentioning you need to

Speaker 4: get not just the final, three you need to get

Speaker 4: the final. Six And i've covered Two World series winners

Speaker 4: in my, career the ninety Six yankees and the Eight.

Speaker 4: Phillies every day there and ninety Six yankees had. It you,

Speaker 4: know that Was rivera's breakout, year getting the ball To.

Speaker 4: Wetland And Ryan, madson an, underrated humongous contributor on the Eight.

Speaker 4: Phillies he locked down that eighth, inning you, know start

Speaker 4: About august, first and got the ball To Brad. Lynch

Speaker 4: so these it's, very very valid for you to bring.

Speaker 2: Up, YEAH i, mean, look look how The houston beat

Speaker 2: them in The World. Series it was it twenty twenty.

Speaker 2: Two they beat them.

Speaker 3: By having nasty pitching bro especially in the.

Speaker 2: Bullpen those guys were coming out firing and they got

Speaker 2: beat because of. It and The phillies beat themselves because

Speaker 2: they COULDN'T i know that they couldn't get hits on

Speaker 2: breaking pitches out of the, zone but they also had

Speaker 2: chances to hold down leads that they didn't hold down

Speaker 2: and that hurt them, really really.

Speaker 3: Badly so, anyway what would you guys?

Speaker 1: Do, well, well, YEAH i see the value in getting

Speaker 1: that bullpen arm't because the one THING i question is

Speaker 1: are you going to be able to find a true

Speaker 1: impact bat or are you going to get An Austin

Speaker 1: hayes type of. Guy And Harrison bader was super impactful last.

Speaker 1: Year of course we know, this he eight year with The,

Speaker 1: phillies kind of a career with The. Phillies half a

Speaker 1: season with The. Phillies BUT i just don't know what

Speaker 1: impact bat is out there that they could get that

Speaker 1: you would, say, again if this was an either or,

Speaker 1: proposition is there an impact bat out there that you

Speaker 1: could get where you. Go all, right we're gonna punt

Speaker 1: on the bullpen or maybe get a lesser maybe more

Speaker 1: like a sixth, inning seventh inning. GUY i don't know

Speaker 1: who's who's the impact?

Speaker 4: Bat you like the guy In, minnesota but he doesn't

Speaker 4: want to, Leave.

Speaker 1: Yeah, Minnesota Bryan byron Bucks then we'll see what maybe

Speaker 1: he changes to be.

Speaker 3: Able to stay on the.

Speaker 1: Field, yeah, yeah maybe it's done a.

Speaker 3: Pretty good job of.

Speaker 4: It the last two. Years have another big, YEAR i don't,

Speaker 4: know but they're just enough kind of in the wild card.

Speaker 4: Picture and he keeps saying he doesn't want to. Leave

Speaker 4: and we've been talking about him now for two and

Speaker 4: a half.

Speaker 3: Years long.

Speaker 1: Time and you know the thing too, IS i know

Speaker 1: he signed for a few more, years he's under, control

Speaker 1: but it's only fifteen million dollars a. Year that's a

Speaker 1: RISK i would. Take it's not like he's making thirty five.

Speaker 1: Million it's not like It's Mike trout. Money where you're

Speaker 1: sitting there going he's you, know he's blowing his hand

Speaker 1: me out every three. Months If Byron buckston goes, down

Speaker 1: you can kind of stomach that a little, bit knowing you,

Speaker 1: KNOW i would roll the dice on A Byron. Buckston

Speaker 1: but you.

Speaker 3: Want This chapman Or Byron. Buxton that would take.

Speaker 4: Question what's it take to get Eraldis? Chapman because THAT

Speaker 4: gm up there is gonna be under.

Speaker 3: A ton of.

Speaker 4: Pressures jobs on the. Line he's gonna be under a

Speaker 4: ton of pressure to get A humongo.

Speaker 3: Score but it's just a. Rental the other guy's not a, rental.

Speaker 4: Correct but he's got that's. Hip he's he's got to do,

Speaker 4: something get something good for for.

Speaker 3: Gonna get something. Good but he's not gonna get four.

Speaker 3: Players he's gonna get like.

Speaker 4: Two, okay that's about what The phillies.

Speaker 3: Have, well then then you know.

Speaker 2: That then it depends on whether they really want to

Speaker 2: win it or. Not and they want to sell their

Speaker 2: soul to win A World series possible.

Speaker 1: And that and these are the things because they don't

Speaker 1: have a super deep farm, system there's not a LOT

Speaker 1: i think that a lot of teams are going to

Speaker 1: be clamoring for that you could put, together, RIGHT i,

Speaker 1: mean is there just.

Speaker 2: Gauge wood into the back end of that bullpen and

Speaker 2: give it a.

Speaker 4: Whirl, WELL i would certainly be open to, that because

Speaker 4: this is happened. Before, yeah it has happened. Before tigers

Speaker 4: did it with That jackson job and well The angels

Speaker 4: with uh with k years and years Of David.

Speaker 1: David. Price he was that type of, guy you. Know,

Speaker 1: so but you look at The jimmy Mentioned Byron, buxton

Speaker 1: you're some outfielders that could be available to any of these.

Speaker 1: Guys wet your, Whistle you wet your whistle with any

Speaker 1: of These, yeah any?

Speaker 4: FLOWING a lot of them give you So zuki gives me.

Speaker 4: Flow he's got a new. TRADE i don't know if

Speaker 4: he can make it in this. Market adele love it with,

Speaker 4: this you know what he's. DOING i wouldn't Touch Duran Taylor.

Speaker 4: Wards you, know he's not hitting for a ton of.

Speaker 4: Power his name's out there every. YEAR i don't. Know

Speaker 4: he's one of those guys you talked About todd like, eh.

Speaker 1: You, know, yeah right. Exactly AND i Threw Jorge silaire

Speaker 1: on there only because he's a name that could be.

Speaker 1: AVAILABLE i, guess.

Speaker 3: Well what's interesting about what he's gonna be? Available there's

Speaker 3: no doubt about.

Speaker 5: That, Solaire Jora solaire is a guy that can and

Speaker 5: has gotten stupid hot and been an impact.

Speaker 3: Player he's been there and done. It not the, worst

Speaker 3: not the worst guy.

Speaker 4: Five years ago he had That.

Speaker 3: October, Okay i'm just, saying but he's been there and done.

Speaker 2: It he can get into on a role where he's

Speaker 2: just popping home runs left and, right especially against.

Speaker 3: Lefties who knows. Right i'm not it doesn't give me.

Speaker 3: Superflow but if they can't do.

Speaker 1: Anything, else maybe take a, ship take a shot, prospect

Speaker 1: take on the, glue Get, chapman gets, rolls roll the

Speaker 1: dice On. Celaire, OH i take.

Speaker 4: Who's your fifth starter? Here because they're gonna need something back.

Speaker 2: There they just got to get In jim that fifth

Speaker 2: starter just it needs to be somebody who can just

Speaker 2: get him. In it's going to be On alan, wronghell

Speaker 2: and he's going to be bulking up and he's going

Speaker 2: to be that guy for.

Speaker 1: Them do you think do you think there's a do

Speaker 1: you think they have to go out and get a

Speaker 1: fifth starter or that's WHAT i. MEAN i, MEAN i

Speaker 1: guess my point is you Have you're not gonna need

Speaker 1: that fifth starter in the. Postseason so this is a

Speaker 1: team as is right. NOW i think they can get

Speaker 1: into the. Postseason SO i would focus on a BAD

Speaker 1: i would focus on a. BULLPEN i would hope That

Speaker 1: ron Hell painter fixes something In TRIPLE. A he comes

Speaker 1: back and you kind of muscle your way, through you use.

Speaker 4: Openers i'm really glad to hear you both have them

Speaker 4: in the postseason. ALREADY i agree they're trending in the right,

Speaker 4: direction made a lot of progress, Here but they don't

Speaker 4: make it half season, left then a.

Speaker 3: Lot of things are going to.

Speaker 2: Happen heads are going to be, rolling and this is

Speaker 2: going to be a disastrous finish to the.

Speaker 3: Season, YEAH i, THINK.

Speaker 2: I, Think and it'll give be a disaster for the

Speaker 2: franchise because they've got tons of money to deal, with

Speaker 2: and it may be they may be doing.

Speaker 3: Something fairly drastic after this season if they don't make the.

Speaker 1: PLAYOFFS i, mean didn't we just, right didn't we just

Speaker 1: say in the last show that unless they get like

Speaker 1: crippled by. INJURIES I i just got to think that

Speaker 1: they're going to get. THERE i. DO i, MEAN i

Speaker 1: just too much.

Speaker 2: Mediocrities team's got too much talent AND i think they got.

Speaker 3: Too many positive ingredients unless they.

Speaker 1: Breakdowns, Right so let's we're gonna talk maybe about a

Speaker 1: few more bats that might be available in a, second

Speaker 1: but we got an important.

Speaker 2: Message yes we, do because there are still other sports going,

Speaker 1: Himself you know he. Was he was Very, yeah he.

Speaker 1: Was he was. Fun but, yeah you, know those those

Speaker 1: are some names in the. Rotation what About? Ruby you said,

Speaker 1: creative you like to be. Creative could you get creative

Speaker 1: and find it a bat in the infield that would

Speaker 1: help this team?

Speaker 4: OUT i see, one BUT i see, two but they

Speaker 4: would require, uh, WELL i see three but they would

Speaker 4: require position, changes and the Feel i'm getting From, dombrowski

Speaker 4: he's against a position change for this two three hundred million. Dollars,

Speaker 4: MEN i would consider, it BUT i.

Speaker 3: Don't think, YEAH i, mean certainly is something.

Speaker 2: Considered but then you're talking about Moving Alec bohm to

Speaker 2: where what position does he go?

Speaker 3: To does he go to?

Speaker 2: First and then and then Put Bryce harper? In, RIGHT

Speaker 2: i don't Think Bryce harper's gonna.

Speaker 4: Move it doesn't sound that.

Speaker 3: Way you can't play a different.

Speaker 4: Position, well you can.

Speaker 3: Move you can only play third and first if.

Speaker 4: You got pay you you. KNOW i Think Trey turner's

Speaker 4: does a chance somewhere in the next six. Years he

Speaker 4: might have to play the outfield and if you got

Speaker 4: payn you or you could put him at, short if

Speaker 4: you got A, rise you could Put stott at short

Speaker 4: and A rise at. Second BUT i. DON'T i just

Speaker 4: think these have they're too big of moves to be

Speaker 4: pulled off mid. SEASON i don't see The phillies doing.

Speaker 4: Those but they're to talk, about, RIGHT.

Speaker 3: I, Mean i'd love to, see you, know in a

Speaker 3: certain Situation.

Speaker 2: Turner moved to the outfield Or Bryce harper moved to

Speaker 2: the outfield to fortify that outfield and give it some

Speaker 2: more thump.

Speaker 3: To add a. Bat that's being.

Speaker 7: CREATIVE i just, Said, NO i just don't know it's

Speaker 7: GONNA i just don't know that it'll happen BECAUSE i

Speaker 7: just don't know that the players, Themselves turner and Or

Speaker 7: harper would feel comfortable.

Speaker 4: Moving, YEAH i agree with. YOU i don't Think. TURNER

Speaker 4: i think he definitely doesn't want to. Move bryce made

Speaker 4: that comment that he, would but it doesn't sound Like

Speaker 4: dave wants to do. That he talked about it the other, Day,

Speaker 4: dombroski he, said definitely doesn't want to. Move back and,

Speaker 4: forth back and. Forth, well he's not gonna play the

Speaker 4: rest of his career in the. Outfield he's gonna have

Speaker 4: to come back to first place eventually this. Year back and.

Speaker 4: Forth so it's it's fun to talk about on the

Speaker 4: on the Old Todd, pod BUT i see it kind

Speaker 4: of being being a dead.

Speaker 8: End.

Speaker 4: THOUGH i do think they're gonna have to visit at

Speaker 4: some Point tray turning the outfield at some point during this,

Speaker 4: contract and it might help them. OFFENSIVELY i think it will.

Speaker 3: TOO i think it might, TOO i really.

Speaker 1: Do, yeah that seems like more of an offseason. Move

Speaker 1: it is fun to talk. About but for both of those,

Speaker 1: GUYS i, MEAN i mean by, GREAT i don't Think

Speaker 1: harper is moving off of first. BASE i think.

Speaker 2: It's very different to have a position player move position

Speaker 2: than have a, picture for, instance going to the rotation

Speaker 2: or be slid from the rotation to the.

Speaker 3: Bullback it's a totally different.

Speaker 1: Gig, yeah so they got to they got At they

Speaker 1: got a lot of interesting decisions to. MAKE i, mean

Speaker 1: what about the fact rubn that you're not dealing with

Speaker 1: a particularly farm strong farm. System how challenging is that

Speaker 1: for an organization to try to put something.

Speaker 2: Together, well the depth of it is pretty light that

Speaker 2: that that's been document. It they have some players probably

Speaker 2: more closer down, below and then you know that's not

Speaker 2: that appealing because you just don't know whether prospects will

Speaker 2: ever get. There they're, capital but there doesn't mean that

Speaker 2: they're going to be effective down the. ROAD i think

Speaker 2: their biggest asset is going to be money BECAUSE i

Speaker 2: think at the end of the, day even though they

Speaker 2: may be quote unquote losing, money the franchise value is

Speaker 2: pretty high, still so there is they still have the

Speaker 2: ABILITY i believe to be flexible dollars and cents, wise

Speaker 2: AND i think that that's going to be their, strength

Speaker 2: that they may be able to take on a full

Speaker 2: contract as opposed to giving up. Talent AND i think

Speaker 2: that that's the route there are going to end up

Speaker 2: having to take just because they don't have a lot,

Speaker 2: of you, know capital as far as talent is, concerned

Speaker 2: to give.

Speaker 4: Up speaking of franchise, value what are they worth? Now

Speaker 4: The padre is getting almost four, billion.

Speaker 2: Yeah and and The phillies were valued By FORBES i

Speaker 2: think close to three or four hundred million. More so

Speaker 2: you're looking at a franchise value of somewhere between four

Speaker 2: and four five for The fight And.

Speaker 4: Phils, yeah especially with The padres going for like, FOUR

Speaker 4: i think they're that's really going to help their franchise,

Speaker 4: value no.

Speaker 3: Doubt.

Speaker 4: Yeah so basically we got to figure Out Chapman buxton and,

Speaker 4: uh why don't we Go Michael walker depth piece and

Speaker 4: the rotation depth.

Speaker 1: Piece just throwing a little depth, piece a Little Michael waker for.

Speaker 4: You, YEAH i gotta have a depth piece out. There

Speaker 4: i'm not worried About i'm worried about the final half

Speaker 4: of the second half of the season and their depth

Speaker 4: in their starting.

Speaker 3: Rotation that's Where Andrew painter's resurgence becomes almost.

Speaker 4: Essential VITAL i agree for the long, end short, term

Speaker 4: short and long. Term you got.

Speaker 1: It that would solve a lot of. Problems you, know

Speaker 1: they would solve a lot of. Problems if you, Know

Speaker 1: keller would come back at some point and throw the, ball,

Speaker 1: well it would be. Great if Josel varado would figure out.

Speaker 3: Something it would be even better If turner starts to swing.

Speaker 2: It he got a couple of big hits today after struggling,

Speaker 2: early but got some big hits.

Speaker 3: Late maybe that gets him jump. Started who.

Speaker 1: Knows AND i know people hate to hear, that but

Speaker 1: we said this all last. Season they're going to go

Speaker 1: as far as the big boys. Go you, know If

Speaker 1: Trey turner is hitting two twenty with a six hundred

Speaker 1: ohps through the end of the season and he hits

Speaker 1: like that in the, postseason it's gonna be really tough

Speaker 1: for The phillies to win The World. Series they need

Speaker 1: to get him back to.

Speaker 8: Form so and by the same if he does in

Speaker 8: his last month of the season hit three point fifty

Speaker 8: and with a nine hundred ops then they.

Speaker 3: Can win The World. Series and he has done that in.

Speaker 4: Stretches, yes it only has to do that In, october In.

Speaker 4: September that's. Great everybody just has to play all world In.
