 Come in get his first say with the Indians look good as you thought he would but talked about the Yankees Talked about the Red Sox done today. Are the Indians standing pat? They're not done and there's still some conversation going on between them and the Orioles about Adam Jones now Adam I think would fit with this team very very well in center field. They've had one of the worst collective Opses among their centerfielders of any team in baseball. I think Adam would bring a better bat in center field I think his positioning would improve with Cleveland so his metrics and his defensive play would get better And also the leadership for a team that's been to the World Series in Cleveland But not one it Adam is a leader among leaders. He was a leader on the WBC team for Team USA I think he's a perfect fit in that clubhouse. I think Terry Francona would love Adam Jones on his team I knew you'd get WBC and some They're 27 minutes into the show that was that's what I had the pool You know what though I'd say that the leadership quality and that that's why you know, not only Cleveland I think Philadelphia a spot too for for Jones recall But but again the Cleveland Indians if they went out and got him, I mean that that kind of complies everything they need The American League is just stacked. There's got to be a National League team in the World Series Right, which is why the NL team should be bold because I'm an opportunity there There's not a clear favorite. Oh, that's not the Western Conference in the NBA They just no matter Eastern Conference. All right, you see the numbers there Red Sox projected rotation right there quite a rotation Especially those top three guys pitching very well this season see Drew Pomerance and Nathan Ivali could go back and forth for number five Here is Dave Dombrowski general manager on the move We've had some starting pitch and injuries He gives us depth of net regard. He will step into the rotation for us at this time He also can be a guy that can slip into the bullpen as time goes on also. He's been part of The pennant race in the AL East. He's pitched in New York. He's been part of the experiences He's a guy that fit for us. We thought it was appropriate to move quickly Rather than to wait for uncertainties. So we figured let's just go ahead and try to get the deal done Let's come back time. John Sergei still pitching very hard throwing the ball very hard How did this all come about? Well, the key thing for the Red Sox was they knew they had to get some depth You're Dave Dombrowski talk about that only three pitchers right now on their active roster We talked about the big three there have actually made ten or more starts this season The bottom two spots that rotation have had to cycle through Eduardo Rodriguez. That's been the big injury for them now He is still in a walking boot. They don't know when he's gonna be ready to pitch Steven Wright on the DL as well So this is a guy that I believe can be part of their playoff rotation even Drew Pomerance We saw him on the graphic there Eric a lot of injuries in his history as well So I think to hedge their risk of all the health issues at the back end of that rotation And even David Price had some issues during the course of the season as well I think you had to find somebody that you could trust in the American League East You heard Dave talk about the New York Yankees experience AL East That's a big box to check when you Boston Red Sox make a trade of this magnitude Well, and one of the reasons you acquire him is not necessarily just for the playoffs But to make sure that you maintain that lead over the Yankees because you're running him out there every fifth day Especially on that ball club. I mean there are games where he has no hit stuff going into the fifth sixth inning He has that kind of arm. So getting him. Yes playoffs maybe but getting there. That's the most important thing You talk all right So they're five and a half over the Yankees because Yankees lost and we're gonna talk about that in just a second But now it's like a game of chess you talk about Yankees Red Sox talking about the Red Sox making this move to kind of keep the Yankees at bay here Right They went out and got Zack Britain But now if you the Yankees is it even more imperative? What gives it a highlight in just a second more imperative for the Yankees go out there and try and get more starting pitch Yes, and they've been talking to Erica about a number of different names. Cole Hamels has been on their list Jay Hap has been on their list I think that I'll be stunned if we're here after 4 p.m. Eastern Time on July 31st And the Yankees have not added a legitimate number three or better starting pitcher because they know Eric We talked about this before about the way that the standings look right now There's a good chance. They've got to play in that wild card game And if they win it they're gonna play the Red Sox again And they're gonna have to do that without Severino starting game one or two They've got to find somebody that can start game one or two of that series at Fenway Park who you feel Confident in and that's got to be somebody like a Jay Hap who's maybe had some good numbers there in the American League Or you don't go with a starter in that second game and you go with a an opener opener right an opener and then throw the whole Bullpen right? I mean that's you know, you never know. I mean obviously you probably don't do that Look at I'm gonna I'm gonna sit here until we pass the trade deadline to Grom. Oh, yeah, it's a great idea
