0:00 some spicy sound there for we're on the situation we welcome in Jared kavis host of the underdog fantasy and the baseball is dead podcast and of course not to Red Sox Super Fan uh first of all what's up my friend we appreciate you joining us and second of all we're just talking during the break it sounds like you're kind of at the epicenter of this whole thing yeah there there's a lot going down here LG uh it's it's drama but it's it's welcomed and you know I'm I'm going to take the Silver Lining here people are talking about the Red Sox again we were Irrelevant for three years no one wanted to talk about us and rightfully so you had two last play Seasons you had a 500 season last year we were lacking Stars we were lacking interesting story lines we've got it all now we have the Stars we have the story lines and you know what else we have a good baseball
0:46 team and that's because we added Alex bregman uh to the mix on top of garri crochet and Walker beer yeah hey it's a lot of fun to follow your team right now in your mind though we're talking about the epicenter of all the drama not just you but the Hot Corner where do the Red Sox stand with this third base situation in your mind yeah so here here's the thing and this is going to be a take that I get attacked for because I'm it's going to be oh you're just you're spewing what the team wants you to say this is how I actually feel I trust my manager I trust Alex K to put the best field on the team or the best team on the field in order to win I was picking up what you were laying down yeah and that that team has Alex bregman at third
1:32 base and that has Tristan kasus at first base Trevor story at shortstop and here's the big name in all this everyone wants to talk about Des everyone wants to talk about uh bregman but the big name that we should be talking about is highlighted right there it's Christian Campbell it's how do we make a path for this kid to make his big league debut on opening day and if if if all that comes to fruition you're going to have Raphael de at DH I understand that he's upset right now but this is Alex cor's job this is why he got paid top-of-the-line money to come in figure this out have the conversation with de uh and and ease into this transition because that is the best team that they can put on the field hey I read about the dinner at kora's house and it sounds like you know there might be some drama in the media but the
2:18 conversation it sounds like between bregman and de was amicable and they were pretty much on the same page and you know bregman was happy to defer your boys with bregman he was just on your podcast what did he say yeah I mean bregman's always going to give you the the political answer he's gonna say I'll do whatever is best for the team and he means that though like I there's there's certain guys that'll say that but they don't necessarily mean it bregman if if Alex cor said hey like you know the best the best chance for us to win is if you're catching he'd be like okay never caught before but I'll give it a shot if that's what you want me to do uh so I genuinely believe he'll play whatever position um that Alex cor sees fit for for him but ultimately I think it will be at third base because again The X Factor here is how do we get Christian Campbell in the
3:04 lineup on opening day and in order to do that you're going to have to move Des off their base okay so you just mentioned Christian Campbell we saw that mayor was also highlighted on that list now Tristan Kus had a couple of things to say about some of those young prospects breaking in for the opening day roster what are your thoughts on his comments yeah I mean I I I respect him backing his guy in Rafael De saying that's my third baseman and all that that's just being a good teammate no issue with that but to say you know that you don't want or need these the big three so to speak to be on the big league roster come opening day that's where I had a little bit of an issue with it because again if you're going to ask the question what is the best team on opening day I think if you were to
3:49 pull the entire fan base if you were to pull the executives the scouts they would have Christian Campbell in that lineup and he is one of those top prospects that needs to be on team come up any day listen there's a reason why you draft these guys and you invest so much in their development you want them wearing a big league uniform especially on opening day if they can help your team win listen Jared we appreciate all the insight and if you're stoking the flame for this drama I'm I'm so in that's what I do I stir the pot around here that's what we do you're the best where can people check you out before we say goodbye section 10 podcast and basball is dead podcast over on Underdog fantasy you're the best we'll talk to you soon thank you thanks LG I'll see you hey Dodgers Nation we've seen Blockbuster moves all offseason but
4:35 could La be preparing for yet another jaw-dropping trade a five player deal that could land a $313 million superstar in dodger blue that's right a shocking proposal has emerged and if it happens it could shake up the league stick around as we break down the details what this means for the Dodgers and why this move could make La even scarier in 2025 before we dive in make sure to subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications so you never miss the latest Dodgers updates also drop a comment below should the Dodgers make this trade or is it too risky let's talk about it set up how the Dodgers got here now the Dodgers have already made waves this off season
5:21 securing Elite Talent to bolster an already stacked roster but could they still be looking for another major addition some thought no arono might be the target but reports confirmed that wasn't the case that leaves one big question who else could they be after enter Raphael Des the Boston Red Sox Slugger who signed an 11-year $331 million contracted in 2023 suddenly finds himself in an awkward situation in Boston with the Red Sox bringing in Alex bregman De spot at third base is now in question and he's not happy about it and when Star players get frustrated trades start to become a real possibility the trade proposal what it looks like according to Bleacher Reports
6:07 Zachary D Rhymer a trade between the Dodgers and Red Sox could look something like this police car light the Dodgers would receive right arrow 3B Raphael Des police car like the Red Sox would get right arrow 3B s1b Max Mony right arrow INF SL of Chris Taylor right arrow RHP Bobby Miller right arrow SS Alex Freeland Dodgers number four Prospect whoa that's a serious deal but is it worth it let's break it down why this makes sense for the Dodgers first off DE is an offensive Powerhouse we're talking about a guy who consistently delivers 30 plus home runs
6:54 100 plus RBIs and an Ops over 850 pairing you with mie Betts show Otani and Freddy Freeman that's a nightmare for opposing pitchers plus let's talk about the long-term plan Max M's contract is set to expire after the 2025 season so even though he's a fan favorite bringing Endeavors locks down third base for years to come and let's be real adding a 27-year-old superstar in his prime fits perfectly with the Dodgers strategy of staying dominant for the next decade the downside is the price too high now here's the big question should the Dodgers give up Bobby Miller That's where things get tricky Miller is Young
7:40 electric and could be a Frontline starter for years losing him in a top prospect like Alex Freeland is no small price to pay and what about Chris Taylor while he may not be a superstar his versatility has been crucial for the Dodgers he's a leader in the clubhouse and comes up big in clutch moments so is trading away a future Ace a valuable veteran and two other key pieces worth getting devors what this means for Boston for the Red Sox this deal makes sense financially they' move de's massive contract free up space to make a splash in next year's free agency maybe even go after a player like Vladimir Guerrero Jr plus they get a young talented pitcher in Miller and a solid Prospect in
8:25 Freeland it's a move that could help them reset and rebuild with a new Core Final thoughts should the Dodgers pull the trigger so Dodgers fans this is where we turn to you should La go all in and trade for Raphael Des even if it means losing Bobby Miller or should they hold on to their young talent and stick with Max Muny for now drop your thoughts in the comments below and if you enjoyed this breakdown don't forget to like the video and subscribe to the channel for more Dodgers news and updates thanks for watching and we'll see see you in the next one gold Dodgers baseball blue heart
