 Hi everyone, Joe for Jazzpeacecasebreaks.com coming at you with a two-case break of 2022-23 Bowman University Best Basketball. It's a random letter break. We're going to go by the first letter of their first name. 16 a box is total. All card and ship. Pretty easy if you get randomized a letter V. You're going to get any and all of Victor, Wenbenyam is that we have to pull in these next two cases. There are the rest of the letters right there. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. Thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up. Congrats again to the people who won their spots in the fillers. There's all the letters and let's roll it. Let's randomize names and letters. Snake eyes. Two times. Easy. One and two. Snake eyes. Two times for the letters. One and two. Got the LN combo down to T. Alright, Nathan with LN. John with R. Nathan with V. Bartholomew with B. Travis, EG and you have J. Nathan you have WZ plus all other letters. That's not on the list. John with M. Adam with K. John with D. S. H. and C. Air with P. F. John with A. And Simon with T. Let's alphabetize by a letter. And we are going to pause the video just for a little bit. When we come back we might have some trades and letters. I'm going to go run and grab the cases as well. So stick around. We'll see you on the other side. Alright, welcome back everybody. No deals were done. Although John did try to offer all of his letters for the letter V. Nathan was not in the chat. Not entirely sure if Nathan would have done that anyway but we'll never know unless he pops into the chat. Let's just see. Alright, it's a dual case break. So 16 boxes total. Eight in each case. So kick back, relax, settle in. That's this break done. And we'll do an autograph recap at the end of the break as well. Ladies and gentlemen and the caps. Cleveland Cavaliers won the summer league for whatever that's worth. Isaiah Mobley winning player of the game there, MVP. Evan's brother. Isaiah Mobley. He'll be an interesting team next year. I guess the kind of the big player movement storylines remaining James Harden. Where does he go? Or does he go anywhere? And I guess Damian Lillard. Where does he end up? Anyone have any thoughts on that? Sixers GM Darryl Mori was saying the other day. The Harden trade has to keep the Sixers in the title mix. There's not going to trade him for a basket of basketballs. Nets in the calves apparently are to play a regular season game in Paris. It's pretty cool. Why not this first? Alright, first autograph is Hansel Emanuel for the letter H. That's going to be for John. 19 out of 99. Derek Lively die cut. And a Jordan Hawkins. Aqua Lava to 199 for the letter J. That'll be for Travis. Let's speak of these die cuts too. We've got a leaky black. So this is the speckle parallel. Which are not numbered. The mini diamonds which look pretty similar are numbered. Here is PJ Hall. Going to Eric and the letter P. Jerry Swacher. Victor Wimbanyama. First base card there. Julian Phillips for the letter J. That'll be for Travis. That's to 150. First of potentially many victors for Nathan who got randomized a letter of V with a spot he won in the filler. And of course all cards will ship. That's box one. What does everyone think about the the in tournament, the in season tournament? What are they what are they calling it? The corner NBA.com they're calling it the in season tournament. So there's an in season tournament 101 page here on NBA.com. Summary. The inaugural in season tournament will tip off. I'm sure there'll be a sponsor for at some point will be like the the Kia the NBA the Kia in season tournament will tip off on Friday November 3rd and culminate with the championship on Saturday December 9th. So it's about a month. The semifinals will be December 7th 30 December 7th championship game will take place at Timo Arena in Vegas. The in season tournament will consist of two stages group play and knockout rounds. It's very similar to like a champions league in soccer kind of format or World Cup format. All 30 teams have been randomly drawn into groups of five within their conference based on win-loss records from the 2022-23 season and beginning November 3rd counting through Thursday Tuesday November 28th. Each team will play four designated group play games on quote tournament nights. One game against each opponent in its group with two games at home and two on the road. So they're still regular season games. They're not additional games but certain games will just be designated as these tournament games. Then eight teams will advance to the knockout round. The team with the best standing in group play games. Each of the six groups and two wild cards teams from each group. And I guess those are rescheduled then. Those are new games that I don't know. I guess we'll find out. The team with the best standing in the group play games and each of the six and two wild cards and the best record in group play games that finish second to its group. Knockouts will be single elimination games of the quarterfinals played in NBA team markets on Monday and Tuesday. Semifinals and championships qualifying teams will compete for a prize pool and the new in-season tournament trophy the NBA Cup. All 67 games across both stages of the in-season term will count towards the regular season standings except the championship. Each team will continue to play 82 regular season games including those are part of the group player knockout blah blah blah blah. TV schedule announced in August. Duran Holmes going to John in the letter D. I think it's interesting. I feel like November. This is interesting. Does that look like a super there? There's Anthony Black. And we've got a Bowman master pieces insert. Super one of one. And that is Nick Smith Jr. Nathan with the LN combo. Nice. Nathan. All aboard the Big Hit Express. Strong. And the other autograph is Trace Jackson Davis. Scott's winning with this ultimately makes schedules more difficult for good teams. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe if you're a good team you'll be in a group that plays not so good teams. Not sure how exactly the the draw works. Somehow it's based on win-loss records though. Another victor for Nathan. That's the mini diamond right there. That's a $2.99. Otega Oa will go to letter O. Not on the list. That'll go to the all other letters for Nathan. Katelyn Clark Refractor goes to John and the letters C. There's Malik Renault for the letter M. That'll be for John. To 150. Now the the NBA Cup itself for now to some may just seem kind of pointless or like so it's just a random tournament. I think it's good it keeps interested in sort of the November-December sort of a weird time for NBA right? People aren't really people are really that's deep into the NFL season. And so I feel like people really aren't paying too close attention to the NBA but maybe this this gives people an excuse to tune into some of these games that might have a little extra juice to it. There's some cash prizes for the for the players that win the NBA Cup. And I think in the future this is all TBD but in the future there's been some discussions that I've read. There's been just discussions that maybe years down the road especially if this tournament looks like it's being successful. Could that have draft implications draft pick implications? Could that have could there be a playoff spot reserved for a team that wins the NBA Cup? Even larger cash? I don't know. So there are some some interesting I don't know maybe when the NBA Cup you get to get more ping pong balls in the you know maybe you get some extra spots on ram.org when they do when they figure out the draft lottery. Obviously they're trying to do what soccer has been doing those in-season cup tournaments. There is Jalen Bridges. That'll be for Travis in the letter J that's to 150. If I were to radically change the NBA I would make it like a English Premier League schedule. There's Arthur Columa out of 99 green mini diamonds. I would have every team play each other home and away which would ultimately make it a I know someone do the math on that but I would make it a 50 no 30 20 someone can do the math on that right if each team played each other home and away. Slices the number of regular season games down but considerably if you feel like you would avoid any any sort of sort of load management because there's so far fewer games and then you know maybe you increase playoff games or something like that people want to NBA playoffs anyway and then that might be leave more room open for things like an expanded in-season cup competition or something like that. Marcus Sasser to Semifinal. You know there could be a comp competition that includes all 30 teams in the NBA and then you play for something and then maybe bottom 10 teams will have another cup competition that'll be a fight for draft picks or something like that. Winner of that tournament will we'll get the number one pick and maybe a playoff but play in spot or something like that. Chance of the playoffs. It could be kind of interesting. But with the TV money involved they'll never do. In the in-game the game day revenue owners they're not going to give up games. It would never happen. Tournament detail section in this in-season tournament. Section two subsection a group play draw to determine each opponent's team's points in the group play. The 15 teams in each conference are divided into three groups of five teams via a random drawing. Maybe they use ram.org. The groups are below. West group A. Grizzly, Suns, Lakers, Jazz, Portland etc. Skip through that. So I guess before the drawing each team was placed into a pot based on its record from the prior regular season. In each conference one team from each pot was randomly selected into each of the three groups in that conference. Pot one the team of the three best prior season records in a conference. Pot two the team of the four through six best prior season records so on and so forth to pot five the teams of the 13th through 15th best records and prior seasons. So group play. Oh interesting. So they're kind of branding it interestingly. Like championsly group play. Tournament nights will take place every Tuesday and Friday. That's some decent branding. So like Tuesday and Friday those are probably TNT games and ESPN games. They'll be like hey this is a tournament night. It's not too random. Well I guess with the exception of election day on Tuesday November 7th. So that's interesting. There's Brandon Murray for Bart. Letter B. Some mini diamond right there. Duane Harris Jr. for John in the letter D. That's a 299. And the Caitlyn Clark for John in the letter C. So you can find some color. Some parallels. And we got a Kiki Rice. UCLA's Kiki Rice going to letter K. Adam K. With the letter K. First letter, first name. We have another UCLA player right here. Die cut. Amari Bailey for the letter A. John. We got Chris Murray. And we're halfway through the first case. The team will play each of the four other teams in this group in one group play game. Teams run records, run interconference games, blah blah blah. And there's tie breakers and head to head. This and that. And then teams will advance into the knockout rounds. And even knockout games will be considered. I guess they're leaving space open for these games early on. And then they reschedule from there. It'll be interesting to see how they handle all that. But the knockout stages consist of single elimination games that count as regular season games for the eight teams that advance from group play. Only the championship game does not count as a regular season game. Regular season stats won't apply either. Subject to travel constraints. No team will play more than one of its two games cross conference, blah blah blah. The other 20 games will be scheduled within conference featuring teams that are otherwise scheduled to play each other over three times over the course of the season whenever possible. And the four teams that lose in the quarterfinals will each play a regular season game on Friday December 8th against the opponent in their same conference. They're trying to make up for all those games. I don't know. Hopefully someone at the NBA office has a good spreadsheet to keep track of all those scheduling stuff. Prize and League honors for the 2023-24 season. The in-season tournament prize pool will be allocated to the players on the teams that participate in the knockout rounds. The allocation is increasing depending on how the team progresses. And then there'll be an MVP for the competition and an all tournament team. There you go. The deets of the in-season tournament. And we've got a Khalif battle. Going to Adam and the letter K. We've got Oscar die cut. Got mini diamonds right here to race Walker to 299 for Travis. We've got a Brandon Miller refractor for Bartholomew letter B. And we've got a Kishon Bartholomew for Adam and the letter K. You guys can try to trade, couldn't trade mojo there. 98 out of 99. Got some red coming up. Here's a victor. And that's going to be Tire Campbell. 4 out of 10. Red parallel for Simon in the letter T. Slow news day for NBA.com. They're already talking about 12 potential free agents target in 2024. Which actually will be quite interesting. Both Anthony Davis and LeBron James for my could be free agents. LeBron has a player option. And Anthony Davis also has an early termination option. And Brani will be draft eligible next year. He's playing here staying here in LA playing at USC. We'll see how he does. Jalen Brown. Also a free agent Pascal Siakam, Ojeanu Obi, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, Nick Claxton, DeMar DeRose, and Clay Thompson, Buddy Heald, Miles Bridges, Caleb Martin, or some of your top 2024 free agents. I don't know how bad he is. I think he does want to. LeBron definitely wants to play with his son at some point. He'll probably opt out. I guess we'll see how his son does throughout the course of the season, right? There's Mattis Bezelis. He's supposed to be one of the higher end picks in next year's NBA draft that's going to go to John and the letter M. Marcus Sasser for the letter M. We've got DeMar Langford, Mini Diamonds, two ninety-nine. And we've got an RJ Davis autograph for John and the letter R, last bottom ojo. And we've got a Judah Mintz for the letter J. Speaking of opt out, Dallas Kike wasn't opt out for Friday if the twins don't give him a roster spot. Talk about irrelevant news. We're talking about relevant players, Rex. And Dallas Kike did have a run for a number of seasons there. Still irrelevant. He was going to be one of the next big pitchers and it's just that he didn't work out. Yeah, it happens. Some players work out some players don't, Rex. I don't know. Who cares about Dallas Kike? Has he even thrown a has he thrown a pitch for the twins this year? Can't believe we're going to waste time on Dallas Kike right now. Oh, he's he's minor league deal, maybe? Has he thrown a pitch for the twins? He hasn't. Why would he why would he opt out? If the twins don't give him a roster spot, they're not. Why would he opt out though? Is it is people or people uh you know blowing up Dallas Kikel's phone saying, hey, opt out because you got a spot with us. If the twins aren't giving him a roster spot, I suppose it's irrelevant. Yeah. Well, nothing's really happening in the chat right now, Rex. So, it looks like uh looks like you got your your JV news in. It piqued my interest enough, Rex. Or are you talking about there's Bryce Thornton, Bart, the letter B, or did it pique my interest with maybe a Q? There's Mackay Ash and Langford's 250. That's for the letter or piqued my interest like a mountain peak. I mean he must be getting paid right now, right? At least on a minor league deal. I don't think he's opting out of that. I guess unless someone is knocking down the door. It's Caleb Love. John with the letter C. That's for John. Box of the first case and we've got another case coming up. Dodger's already played today ladies and gentlemen. They lost to they lost the aura. So, I guess I got Chelsea and Rex him on in the background. That's that's Rex's favorite club. Rex is your favorite club. Rex him. Let's see what's going on in the baseball world here. There you go. That does sound like Cub's thing to do. Sign, sign Dallas Kichl. Call him up and say, hey, we'll we'll we'll sign into a major league deal. We got Cody Thomas hit a two-run homer for the A's. They beat the Red Sox six to five. Chas McCormick's two-run shot. Pads the Astros lead. They beat the Rockies four to one in Colorado. Nolan Nolan Gorman hit a homer today. Cardinals beat the Marlon six to four. Jonah Himes 14th homer pads the Ragers' lead five to one. They used pads the same. Lee has been used pads the same time. They fired a lot of people, right? I guess maybe the A.I. is running the headlines there. Gunnar Henderson gets his first career home run off a lefty. Dodgers beat or Orioles beat my Dodgers eight to five. Pirate score five runs in the seventh to take the lead. They beat the Guardian seven to five. And then all the games are in the rest of the games are in Congress. Bottom of the fourth, Tigers leading the Royals one nothing. Nationals and Cubs are tied at one at the bottom of the third. Bottom of the seventh, Diamondbacks leading the Braves. We'll go through some more scores after the game. I'll see you tomorrow. Wow, that's that's depressing. Rex. Rex is watching a compilation of pictures arms getting blown out during games. Translation, I want to watch an athlete's worst moments and give me a compilation of that. They're probably the lowest moments of their lives and their professional careers and that's what I want to watch a compilation of. Travis with the letter J. I'll also get the Jarray Walker to 150. Hannah Cavinder going to H. John, Julian Phillips will go to J. That's for Travis and the Jarray Walker. Oh and a Victor Wimbanyama refractor. That's the sort of stuff we want to see here. Nathan, maybe some ink in the next case and there's a Malik Renault for John in the letter M. It was suggested you through the YouTube algorithm so that so what else are you watching Rex? Car crashes where people die. Motorcycle accidents. Train Rex. The algorithm is based on your search results and what you're watching anyway Rex. Watch something happy. Go look up like pug puppies or something like that. Look up a grumble of pugs you know. Watch stuff like that. Now why not watch uh why not watch uh that otter in California that ceiling surfboards and there's Kishon Barthelamy that's going to go to Adam in the letter K. You watch baseball stuff but the algorithm is you watch like baseball injury stuff. Buster Posey getting his ankle destroyed. You know like watch enough of that stuff Rex and it's going to be like hey we suggest pictures in the darkest moments of their careers. Oh hey oh Scott's got you. Rex is the Cubs fan that's why he suggested uh that's why he was uh told by the algorithm look at train Rex. Now Scoot is uh Scott E. Scott Eckert. Alright so where did I leave off? I don't know where I left off. Diamondbacks are leading the Braves four to two in the bottom of the seventh. Reds are leading the Giants in the bottom of the eighth in Cincinnati three to two. Met to bring the White Sox five one in the middle of the eighth going to the bottom of the eighth. Padres at Blue Jays Padres currently shutting out the Blue Jays two nothing. Angels I guess I could watch the Yankees. Angels that's on local television here. Angels are leading the Yankees six to two in the bottom of the sixth and the Brew Crew are in Philadelphia. They're leading by a run four to three. It's interesting as this Chelsea Wrexham game is I may have to flip over to that Angels Yankees game. That's true Rex. You just get to see World Series win as a Cubs fan. Or I guess what's the number of uh World Series appearances that the Cubs will make in the next ten seasons. Number of World Series appearances by the Cubs in the next ten seasons. Excuse me. I didn't set a line I'm just just want people's guess. Absolute says zero. Nick Smith Junior Diet Cut. So this is a fresh case ladies and gentlemen. So all things are possible here. Timmy Allen. Aqua Lava to 199. And the autograph is Chris Murray. Uh Keegan's twin brother. That's going to go to Adam in the letter K. That's a nice one. Here's Race Thompson. That's going to be out of ten. Six out of ten for John in the letter R. Katie Johnson also going to Adam in the letter K. Ron Sando never played in a postseason game. How many how many and here's Kiki Rice also going to Adam. How many Hall of Fame players do you think has gone through the Cubs organization and not played a playoff game. I feel like there's a lot or maybe just played not played in very many. How many of there's okay we'll revise the question how many how many post seasons will the Cubs reach in the next ten seasons. That number's got to be more than zero. There's with the increased opportunities to get into like I guess the the the play in games or whatever calling them nowadays. The next ten seasons two or three. I think this this also comes from a number of my Cubs fans and friends. I don't think there's you know that kind of success will not happen until there's a change in ownership. You were looking at players because I saw someone saying Tra was overrated because he has only played in one postseason game. It's unfortunate but I think baseball's not not exactly like basketball or even like quarterbacks for football where there's where like just stacks won't do it like you have to have championships like big part of your resume. Baseball's a little more looser on this. It's hard to win a World Series. It's not easy. It's Cam Whitmore die cut for the letter C. That will be for John. Yeah I think I'm with you Scott on that. Scott what are speaking of your Mets. What are the Mets going to do? Are they going to be buyers? Are they sellers? Here's the autograph of Marty Bailey. John with letter A. That's uh mini diamonds DeWon Harris to 199 and the Katelyn Clark. Katelyn will go to John and DeWon will also go to John. We've got Leaky Black for the letter L. That's for Nathan and the L and Combo. Rex thinks predictably as a Cubs fan Rex thinks that they have a chance to make maybe one more World Series appearance in the next decade. They've got a farm system that rivals that old 2014 farm system to keep those players and bring them up in the next couple years. Could be like 15, 16 over again and then it would be a shame because then they and the ownership won't want to pay those guys or nickel and diamond and then Scott thinks doesn't think Steve Cohen allows a full on sale. More likely he's going to be some retooling and shedding some older players to actual contenders. Have a great evening. All right see you Evan. Have a good one. See you tomorrow. Um yeah I mean let's I guess let me take a look at the take a glance at the Mets depth chart here. I feel like you can't really do much with the the offense is at least on paper is pretty solid. Maybe there can be some upgrades here and there but I don't know what would I do. I don't know I don't know who the Mets have pitching wise. Yeah it's pitching issues and a bad bullpen. I don't know who the Mets have in the pipeline though. I would almost be inclined to trade everybody not named Kodai Asanga. Trade Max Scherger, trade Justin Burlander, trade Carlos Carrasco, trade Jose Quintana. You know get whatever you can for for those starters but there's no pitchers hype in the pipeline. I was going to say start calling up the Mets edition of like Bobby Miller or something like that but dump all those guys. I'm sure contending teams listen Dodgers could use two of those Dodgers would love to add Carrasco and Quintana to their rotation just to eat up innings you know and with with not a huge I mean with Chain Bieber going on the IL and with you know Geolito probably commanding a high price and Strowman hasn't opt out so I mean they're they're not gonna you know they're essentially rentals but I would just get whatever you could for that and then just completely retool the completely retool that rotation next year. Offense has got to be fine you know but if they can retool that rotation next year and then replenish the farm system Max and Coler 299. I'm not saying get rid of those guys and just get a bucket of baseballs like make real trades for Scherzer and or Verlander and or Carrasco and or Quintana and go from there but not that they have to but if they're getting good offers why not we've got Kishon Barthelamy letter K Adam that's top prospect another catcher will likely just be trade bait later yeah I mean Francisco Alvarez has that spot for hopefully up to the next 10-15 years right ideally it's tricky though with the uh with the sort of expanded wildcard situation here a lot more teams think they're they're in it a little bit longer I suppose this weekend I mean would have to be sort of the last you know actually deadlines August 1st so next weekend so the next week and a half or so I think are going to be crucial for teams to see if they're buyers or sellers I think by the 28th or the 29th you know or maybe that would late that week 27 28 29th around there if teams aren't looking if the teams aren't looking good they're gonna be buyers they're gonna be making deals over the weekend and they're playing well you know maybe suddenly you're on the cusp and you're suddenly a seller or a buyer that is I don't know Mets are currently seven and a half back I mean what happens if they just have what today's Wednesday the 19th I mean it's that team's good on paper that team's good enough to go like seven and three in the next 10 days you know coupled with some losses here and there from some wildcard teams ahead of them all of a sudden what if you're two games out of a wildcard spot going into the trade the weekend before the trade deadline be interesting is that filled through the Dodgers I mean I feel like they have to right there's no way they stand pass I'd be shocked if they stand pass I'm not saying a blockbuster deal is going to happen but they've got to make some moves especially on the pitching side of things I know the Dodgers also want um a right-handed bat but I think that's a luxury at this point especially with all the pitching issues Julio Urius with a not a very good start today oh nice Brandon Miller autograph Bartholomew with letter b nice I think he's gonna be pretty good and a Kalen Clark refractor it's also nice John with letter c but Kershaw's on the il the longer than than than we thought that would be you know Bobby Miller's day-to-day Emmett Sheehan Bobby Miller Emmett Sheehan just young you know you just got to think about I mean Dodgers aren't thinking about playoffs they're getting to the playoffs they're thinking about the playoffs are you roll who are we rolling out there who are the Dodgers rolling out there in a playoff series against like the Braves I mean Kershaw's on the older side so he could have a tricky back issue or an arm issue or something weird like that in the playoffs are you counting on Bobby Miller Emmett Sheehan to go against you know the the top bats in the Braves organization Julio Urius I don't know what which Julio Urius you're gonna get oh nice another nice one Cam Whitmore a letter c John Tony Gonslin just not 2022 Tony Gonslin I mean he's about where we thought he would generally be kind of the middle of the rotation kind of guy but the top guys this Cam Whitmore die cut who would the what would the Dodgers have to give up for Scherzer I don't think they're going to go after Mack Scherzer again oh wow we had a super in the first case and another super in the second case now Dodgers don't have Kimbrough anymore Rex so even if they wanted to roll him out as a starter that would be impossible Hunter Couture letter H John Jackson and actually this superfracture is actually cut a little bit thicker than it's other than the other cards there you go John Jackson letter H another super is he is he drafted or is he a pick for next year no looks like he's going to play another year at Virginia Tech so hopefully he'll be he'll have a great season and we'll uh we'll be a high draft pick next year so there you go John all aboard the Big Head Express I think Bueller has the potential to return playoffs he wants to but I don't think that's going to happen you first off the Dodgers probably have no interest in rushing Walker Bueller back no matter what he says and even I mean I think at at the earliest he would be ready to throw in late August or I mean they would have he would essentially have to build up arm strength in September I don't know if he looks good enough might be he won't be a starter though I don't think his arm won't be stretched out enough for starters innings but if he's looking good they may do they may do a couple you know you can be like a reliever here and there back into the rotation guy but I still I don't think they'll risk it though I think they'll just be like listen spend the off seat get go into the offseason healthy and get ready for spring do the Dodgers have any other pitchers higher up in their pipeline that's also a good question I don't think so I think the the the pitchers that were I mean they're already kind of digging deep already because looking at mlb.com's prospect rankings they already had Gavin Stone make starts you know mixed results number six is Emmett Sheehan they already have him called out happy oh as mixed results he might still be working his way back from some sort of oblique injury um I guess River Ryan a right-handed pitcher who's in double A 24 years old I mean I guess he could get worked in there Maddox runs is only in high A I don't think they're going to call him I land a knack I suppose they haven't called him up yet I think I mean he might be the next person that gets a shot I think Bobby Miller and and Emmett Sheehan have been galling up enough innings and Michael Grosz had a decent start the other day Michael Grosz is throwing a cutter now he just picked up a cutter and that last couple starts have been really effective so if if that turns his season around that would be kind of awesome I do feel the Dodgers will get Strowman Rex is saying who you've seen him trading for Strowman's difficult I mean whether it's the Dodgers or not Rex I don't know if you could expect much back from Strowman if he gets traded because he's got an opt out I think teams are worried about that you're not going to give up too much for a two-month rental there's Ryan Nemhardt for the letter R that's going to be for John and Victor Wembanyama yeah Dustin May I think is done I think they were trying to if I put if I'm Joe Jaspie MD remember I'm not a real doctor it's not medical advice I think they're putting some sort of platelet rich plasma blood essentially in their in his arm trying to see if that could stimulate some some recovery in that elbow and so they want they did that and kind of want to try to let it heal on its own want to give that a month or two but they did and I don't think it took and so I think it might be another surgery in store for him it's Marcus Sasser to 75 for John in the letter M yeah I think it's the PRP right there's Caleb Love we love it goes to John Jackson it's Caitlin Clark nice he's fired up could go after Jillian or Jordan Montgomery maybe some Jack Flaherty rumblings as well there's Zach Eadie he's supposed to be another kind of top of the first round kind of pick it's going to go to Z Nathan that's a 250 another Brandon Miller yeah what is it I think the Dodgers front office is okay with the rentals but you know what they offer will be commensurate with what a rental will get three boxes to go so like for example if we take the Marcus Strowman example for the Cubs I mean you know I'm looking at the Dodgers top whatever 30 prospect list I don't think they're going to get anyone on this list not for a rental I wouldn't mind Jack's rotation either or Gillette both bring those uh I think they both played to be played with each other in high school right here in LA Harvard Westlake I think Jan Wallace what's up Joe if Otani wants to wanted to be traded to the Dodgers can the owner of the age will stop that from happening yes the owner says no and that's it just to any player under contract because they want to trade doesn't doesn't mean they're getting it it's not up to them you got Tyrese Proctor for the letter T Ashlyn Watkins to 250 for John in the letter A Simon has a letter T and our autograph is Hensel Emanuel six out of 25 I speckle autograph letter H that will be for John yeah the worst thing that happened to the Angels in the off season was Moreno's already Moreno saying that uh he was not going to sell the team we have a couple Angels fans here and they were definitely disappointed I mean already Mario did did elevate the Angels from their previous ownership you know and he's done a lot of great things for the organization but I think he's kind of reached his his I guess potential his cap is his ceiling as as an owner you know to the point where in the last five to ten years it's almost he's almost been a detriment to the team here's Mattis of Bozellis not really investing in scouts or front office or analytics infrastructure you know paying the wrong players and I think guys like I think guys like Albert Pujols and Anthony Rendone and Josh Hamilton were like ownership calls it wasn't like GM calls so he's undermining GM's messing up their budgets by assigning these guys and it hasn't really been best for the fans either I mean I think his insistence that he wants to compete against the Los Angeles market instead of really leaning into like Orange County is a different world you think people from Orange County want to be associated with LA no you can really lean into that Orange County market but he hasn't I want to say that this might have been resolved but I want to say that you know he doesn't have a Spanish language radio broadcast for any of the states which is crazy considering Southern California and the demographics of Southern California even in Orange County you know so there's a lot of missteps now that's an interesting take Grizzlebees Moreno will trade Otani to any team that will take Anthony Rendone right you want Otani this bad guess what we'll give you a deal on Otani but you're gonna have to take Anthony Rendone right imagine all the imagine yeah imagine the money that they're saving you know I don't know how much you know you're not going to get a big prospect haul for but you'll get something back for Otani you get Anthony Rendone off the books free up a lot of payroll and you rebuild that team in the off season there's Makaya Ash and Langford to 50 or you try to re-sign Otani somehow Artie Moreno got Mike Trout to stay in Anaheim which now now back then I thought oh yeah what a brilliant move but as the years have gone on I'm wondering what's the what's the commitment level to winning that Mike does Mike Trout have the same commitment to winning that say Otani has? Otani has made it clear in the press I want to win I don't think I've heard similar comments from Mike Trout maybe he's just happy with here's another Kiki Rice for Adam and the letter K I mean that question has to be asked at some point of Mike Trout especially if Otani leaves the angels in the off season is free agent how much do you care about winning Mike so we've got a refractor Victor Wembenyama Nathan and we got another base Victor Wembenyama and here's Gigi Jackson to 250 for letter G Travis was that a Yankees rumor that they would take on Anthony Rendon? yeah the problem is not yet not too many people can do that Mets Dodgers Yankees still a risk though right what if Otani still walks in free agency um and you're stuck with Anthony Rendon there's Hans ELEMANUEL for letter H John Jackson yeah Giants could be in on the Otani mix I mean I feel like in the off season when I don't know I these Otani getting I guess that's the big question everyone's talking about right is he gonna actually get traded I'm leaning no I feel like that deal probably doesn't happen and even if he does get traded he's still hitting unrestricted free agency I feel like every single team is putting a phone call into Otani's agent who is anyone know I'm looking it up right now who is represented by CAA I'm not quite as scary as Scott Boris but I mean everyone's putting in a call to Nez Bilello of CAA sports which is uh not too far away from us here Scott Boris's office not too far away from us I think Scott Boris's office is probably 45 minutes south at gorge county and then CAA's in Sentry City I think where LACC is it's probably about another 30 40 minutes north of us here yeah I feel like all 30 teams have to be putting in a phone call to Otani you got to kick the tires and who knows if Otani's added to his change towards towards non west coast team I think initially when he came out here I think that was a that was more of a factor has that has that changed except the maybe the A's do it Scott what if the A's shock the world and get Otani A's are like listen we'll give you a 15 year deal you're going to open up this brand new stadium we're actually going to pump some money into this team now that we're out of Oakland it's from the owner's perspective right you know owners new owners of new teams like the Vegas Golden Knights like to like to deliver championships within the first X amount of years of their existence you know to start building the groundwork of of a fan base yeah that owner talking to the right John John Fisher I think he's not doing it but if you're the A's GM let's say I was the A's GM I would still put in the call I'd be like hey here's Joe Jaspy general manager of the Oakland athletics here's here's my pitch there's Malik Renault for the letter M we can't pay you that much but we're not going to pay you that much but we've got a new stadium and a scrappy team here you know we'd love for you to be an A just until the stadium opens and then you can leave after that the contract would just be through the first year of the stadium opening here's a Hailey Cavender to 250 that's going to go to H John Jackson another victory on Minyama did they get did they release that Japanese pitches today the A's Japanese pitcher they're like listen sorry current Japanese pitcher we're looking for a better Japanese pitcher all right look look at that believe it or not we are done boys and girls the last auto is Duran Holmes from Dayton that'll go to D John Jackson with that one and there you have it ladies and gentlemen that's our two case break of Bowman University best basketball random letter break number three thanks everybody for getting in here is a quick little recap it's a victor one Minyama refractors and a lot of base cards but no ink we did have some one-of-ones though some supers are always cool to see some Kaylin Clark refractors die cuts another refractor when Minyama got red tiger Campbell to 10 some nice color on some of these autos too and there is the other Nick Smith jr the other super factor from the first case and there you go ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe for jazzy's case breaks calm thanks for watching thanks for break with me thanks for keeping company through this long break I'll see you next time for the next one bye
