 What's up everybody, Jason here for jasperjayspace.com. 2023 Tops Finest Baseball, eight box case break, Pregnancy number 14, just sold out. So, here we go, all-card ship. I mean, he started off great, and honestly, he pitches well all the way up until like the fifth, and most of the times, they keep him in, and then kind of just gives up a lot of runs, but I mean, he's still a young player, Rex. I mean, obviously, you know, he's, it's not like, it's not like Dodgers would be like, just ship the guy out. I mean, obviously, dude, he's still pretty young. I mean, so it's not like the Dodgers and Dodgers fans obviously want him out, but just like yesterday, he pitched five innings against his Insanity Reds, only gave him the three runs, really. So, it's not like I said, he's a problem, but again, like I said, it's obviously somebody I don't think the Dodgers want to give up, but if they really want Granada, I guess they might have to give him up. Finest Baseball, glad we got this done. Oh, sorry, I didn't read. I just heard the, I thought he was fucking up a lot. I didn't even read our F-ing up a lot, sorry, part of my language, before I even read the before he left, oh, Joe Kelly, well, I mean, yeah, probably, but either way, obviously the fans still love him, but hopefully, like I said, I mean, I think, like you say, when sometimes to breath a fresh air to get traded, especially a place that, you know, he was loved a little bit here by the fans, and like I said, I mean, obviously, I haven't been paying attention, to be honest, but obviously the Dodgers, nobody's capable of, so that's why they traded for him and other players. So, like I said, hopefully he plays better with us. I mean, I think that's the hope, right? But yeah, I mean, hopefully coming back to LA will get him rolling, but honestly, since the Dodgers, since he hasn't been on the Dodgers, I haven't really kept up with him, to be honest. And I don't really keep up with too many other teams. Mine is the Dodgers and Angel, probably just what autonomy of living in LA. But speaking of baseball, I had said the last couple of nights, I kind of wanted to go see LA to La Cruz, but I decided I'm not gonna go because I did not realize that next weekend, the Dodgers are in San Diego, so I actually just got tickets to go see them at Peco Parks. Out of all these years living here in Solca, I've never been at Peco Park, so at least for a ball game, so definitely excited for that. Gonna go to the Sunday Night Baseball on Sunday at four o'clock, so that should be fun. So officially, none of them might be traded, not even Strowman, while they must be in the same situation, right? Going for it like the Angels. Sometimes you might, sometimes it's better to keep the players that you have, you know? Don't think too far ahead in the future on what you can get for them. Living the now, the present. Not saying the Cubs wouldn't make any trades still, but maybe they make trades to improve the roster. Because you would have to think, Rex, since you watch them all the time, you would have to think that if they traded somehow Bellinger and Strowman, that they wouldn't be better, would they? Would they be, they would probably be worse, right? And then you're kind of just looking into the next season more than you are looking to the season. I'm gonna correct me if I'm wrong. Luis Angelo, when he got traded to the Metz, he was the ranger, right? I was reading your reports today that maybe the Dodgers should try to inquire of getting Scherzer. And I think even on the trade blog, that's wild. That is crazy. Well, first of all, guys. So again, some of these refractors, like this one here, Andres Yeminis, is a extended base short print. So anything over a hundred, basically, starting at one oh, one oh one. And then Byron Buxton, finest of moments to the Minnesota Twins, autograph. Minnesota Twins is Alan Murdoch, last spot mojo in the pack filler. Yoshida, colored at 300 to 250. And look at that, Nick Prato, for the Royals Red. Or wait, no, that's the Kinsukori, right? The red one, looks like it. Very nice right there for the Royals. Who has the Royals? Oh, John, nice. Senga, powered moments. Yeah, no, Justin Murdoch might make a home reunion back there in Houston, huh? Yeah, that's wild. Just how crazy they, how crazy quickly the MLB season landscape can change in a matter of some disappointing teams this year. All right, next box. They got Bo Nailer to 99, and then Ethan Small to 150. Milwaukee Brewers, Brian Kay, even said 50. Nationals, Chris Butler. It feels like it's just a kind of reunion type of year, right? How about the Cubs will trade for Chris Bryant? Anthony Rizzo, bring back the old crew. Drew Waters for Kansas City, Vinny. Well, I think Chris Bryant's injured right now, so I don't think it would work. All right, Rafael Devers for the Red Sox, and then we got E-Guy Rosario for the Padres. Michael Comforto to 175, Brett Beatty, trade turner debuts, Oscar Gonzalez. I'm not sure what the contract-specifics are, but I mean, if Shers or Justin Rareland are willing to be traded, I mean, did they sign monster deals too? I'd assume that you can always restructure it, or I don't know, I mean, eventually some of those guys may get cut, and then get paid a veteran minimum somewhere else, and still get paid by the original team, Wood Richardson. I mean, obviously, I think those pitches are a little bit older, right? So they might have gotten a shorter contract, but they got paid a lot, though. Tristan Casas, gold for the Red Sox. It's like, I don't know if that's a print line, or just a line going right through the card right there. I don't know if you guys can see it just at FYI. I don't know if that could be wiped off, or that's just a big print line right there on the card. So just let FYI for the Red Sox and Gary. Wilson Contreras, Shane Beeps to 300, and then E. Guy Rosario for Padres. Lola Pagrero to 250, Shailin Wears for the A's, and Adley Rochman at 300, nice one there for the orders of Gary, 700, 300, then Matthew Batten for the San Diego Padres. Kenbaugh, yeah, that guy got paid. Yeah, that's still a lot of money. I mean, yeah, 182 million is still a lot. So 182, yeah, that's still 26 million a year. It's just wild to me, then, going and looking, like how much of shirts are gonna get paid? Obviously, he's a pitcher, and obviously a really good one, but I mean, I guess if anything, if you just think about it, Bryant eventually will get most of that money, either playing through the contract or just when he gets cut, if he does get cut or traded. You know, the team will pay him probably yearly, annually. Three plus million a year, what is that, 43? 43, 44 million? Good lord. Yeah, 43.3, that's a wild year deal. Imagine like, you know, I mean, Altoni's gonna get paid more than that probably, but you know, Altoni's just gonna look massive, right? It's gonna look like eight to 10 years, $500 million or something crazy like that, maybe even more, I don't know. I mean, this guy could ask for whatever he wants and he'll get it probably. But yeah, it's gonna be wild. I mean, just to say, hypothetically, Altoni does sign a massive contract like that. And you know, he does have an amazing career and definitely everybody says it's worth the money. I wonder if it's gonna change the landscape for others because obviously there's gonna come around another guy that's gonna eventually break his record of money, right? They're always with somebody here, right? Just like in the NFL, you know. Lamar was the first and Hertz and then now it's Herbert, then it's gonna be Burl, right? So think about it, right? Just think of this, like, what if the next guy is just not even as good as Altoni but he just gets paid just as much? It's just gonna feel like it's not even worth it, you know? So that's why if I'm Altoni, I'm just more thinking like I'm worth more than half a billion dollars, right? Hello again. I mean, if Messi really wanted to or Mbappe really wanted to go to Saudi League, they would have got, Mbappe got offered basically one year of billion dollars. So I don't know if anyone's ever gonna beat that. So unless Saudi League comes up with a baseball league and they sign Altoni, then no. Altoni's not gonna get a billion dollar contract for a year. I mean, it is real sports, Logan. It's just the Saudi soccer league and it's professional. Loving his contract right now, he's made a shit ton of money through his career, for sure. I don't care where they got the money, Logan. Someone offered me that much money to play for their league. I don't care, I'm doing it. That deal was so sweet for Mbappe that he could just play for them for one year. After the taxes, which is only like one tax, which is the Saudi tax, he still gets like $770 something million dollars. And then he's free to go. He's free to go to Real Madrid. Obviously Mbappe doesn't care for money because he already has a lot of money, but I mean, man, that was a sweet deal. But in the sense of Altoni, yes, he probably might sign the biggest contract in sports, American sports history, probably. I mean, I think Mahomes was the most just out of the time, but Altoni, I think, will beat that. And Mahomes' contract now is looking so, so nice right now the way other quarterbacks are getting paid. People want the longer contracts because obviously it's just more assurance that you're gonna basically get it all, especially in baseball. So obviously that's why sometimes some players aren't willing to sign a shorter deal and want that long-term money. See, not only thinking about their future now, you know? But someone like Scherz, obviously, at his age can't really sign like a long-term deal, but still works, you know, what he got paid probably for teams at least. Who would have to pay him that much? Yeah, it seems like in most sports, I think now realistically most players, I think the highest paid players are getting around $45 to $50 million a year. So I know it's like that for basketball pretty much. Baseball is basically that much or at least will soon be that much. I just think when it comes to like guaranteed money and like the longevity of the contract, I guess what's gonna be the most amazing part of Altoni's probably. All right guys, last fove. Goldy, Castillo, and we got Bubba Thompson to $99. Ultubated to $250. Gable Moreno to $175. Tony there. Jose Ramirez to $150 for the Guardian and then John then around them for Fracker Auto. The Stewie Ruiz for the Athletics. We got Ezekiel Durand to $100 for the Rangers. Javi Baez for Detroit. Prato. Orange to $25 for the Rookie Autograph for the Royals. Nice break for the Royals. Trey Turner for the Phillies to $250. Charlie Marte to $150 for the Mets. O'Neill Crue to $299. Hidalanda to $250. Insert and then Corey Seager to $75. Corey Seager made a lot of money too. Did any of the Rangers? We got a massive contract. Oscar Gonzalez for the Guardians. Trey Turner, I felt we had a lot of Trey Turner colors for the Phillies. Chris Butler to collect the rainbow. All right, last box here guys. Joey Manessi to $299 for the Washington Nationals, Chris Butler. Man that's Marcus Simeon, extended base. All right, one more auto hiding in here somewhere guys. Good luck. Hidalando to $250 and another Nick Prato, Jesus. I think we got like three versions of Nick Prato. We got that, where is it at? We got that like Kid Sequoia red one early on, right? Where's that one at? It's over here. There we go. So we got that red one and then that orange and then that base one right now, dang, it's gone. Oh wow, that doesn't even look that crazy anymore but 10 years obviously so. There's still a lot of money dished out I guess. That's more like 32 million a year so. Alrighty folks and there you go guys. So again, obviously we'll do a quick recap there. Manessi's, Gonzalez, Marti, Rhys, Aranda, Thompson, Baton, Rosario. Casa's gold was really nice. Gonzalez, Rosario, Waters, Small and then of course Ryan Howard, Buxton, Prato, Simeon, extended base and then Prato to $25. So there you go guys. Thank you guys so much for the finest baseball case break. Again, we have Top Scrum in store that we can do next guys. Thank you.
