Most of the teams picked up straight up but we did do a quick little giveaway break that capstone pack number 35 gave away the remaining teams got this break across the finish line Ed with the Phillies. Last ball mojo star next to his name 70% of the time last ball mojo hits 100% of time allegedly so they say according to rumor this finest has been pretty nice. Chris Jaspy earlier today discovered a I think what they call a golden treasure box right I'm pretty sure every single card in the box is numbered to 50 and the autos are numbered to 10 or something like that so people have done I've not corroborated this but people who have done more research than I have claimed that falls about 100 boxes or so and these are eight box cases so I suppose you can do the math there every one every not common but not impossible we got another case in the store ladies and gentlemen so get your teams before someone else does no summer league action on in the background Minnesota versus Utah Utah is up by three saw the homerun derby Vlad grower Jr. your 2023 homerun derby winner fending off Randy Arzoranius let's just find some gold for Phil excuse me allergies a little bit this week bothered me here but not bothered by this break on Walker having a real solid season for the Cardinals that'll be for guy and there's our autograph Ryan servant and it'll be for the rocks that's going to go to Eric Eric M with the Rockies we'll do an autograph recap at the end is along with any lowered number of stuff that we might stumble into we got say a Suzuki 128 out of 175 Aqua shimmer for Darren and the cubbies that Anthony Volpe heating back up again that's good Corbin Carroll I think he had some injury apparently that's not as bad as originally thought that's a good sign here's Gabriel Moreno to 250 for Tristan in the Diamondbacks he'll get all those Corbin Carroll's we got Austin Riley to 99 it'll be for the Braves Jeremy and we got Bubba Thompson autograph rookie autograph for the Rangers that's going to be for Russell there's your home run derby winner right there all-card ship at the rush man had some nice nice hits to but did not get out of that first round there's Shane Bieber to 150 it'll be for Chris and Cleveland right next we got the all-star game tomorrow anyone have any have any early thoughts or opinion on the all-star game not terribly exciting is it Marlins reinstate righty Quito from the 60-day IL oh yeah Sean Casey's new hitting coach for the Yankees I think most people saw that this is something that I just saw as I was on my dinner break it's a report from Reuters some Otani quotes through his interpreter if the season ended a Los Angeles angels would miss the playoffs for the ninth eighth season that includes all six seasons since signing all-star showy Otani the two-way Superstar will become a free at the end of the season and although he shed little light on what he thought of his long-term a future Otani did say ahead of the all-star game in Seattle that his desire to play on a winning club quote get stronger with each passing year Otani 29 was asked Monday whether reaching the playoffs become a higher priority as he sorts out his future quote those feelings get stronger year-by-year Otani said through his interpreter Mizohara it sucks to lose he wants to win so it gets stronger every year what is it what does that mean who knows I don't think I'm looking Phil I don't know if they oh they did announce starting pitchers Zach Gallin for the NL and Garrett Cole for the AL there's Carlos Perez for the White Sox gonna go to Phil that's for you Phil won that team in the filler the Phil filler and there's say a Suzuki 15 out of 25 now Otani looks like sounds like he wants out unless the Angels become major buyers at the trade deadline in an effort to keep him to allow to convince him to stay that's a possibility I guess but the article states that in the six seasons that he's been in in on the Major League team that they've never been to a playoff here's Anthony Volpe Aqua 138 out of 199 for Daniel and the Yankees and nice look at that old-school Oriole Jim Palmer five out of 25 nice little color match there as well Daniel Smith Orioles nice it is a shame Phil it would have been cool to see him and Mike trout you know hitting game-winning home runs in the playoffs here's a Jonathan Oranda to 250 that will be for the rays that's gonna go to Tristan but you know that the art as long as Artio Moreno owns that team there's trout right there and there's Bobby with Juniors 75 I don't know if it's ever gonna get better unless they just luck into drafting some superstars and they win within that window the Bobby with Juniors 75 going to the Royals I'll be for Daniel as a Dodger fan I would prefer Freeman and Betts win some meaningful games in October and then maybe Freeman Betts and Otani in 2024 I have not Chad not yet anyway chances mostly it's been injuries and anything for the halos yeah injuries also putting money into getting expensive long-term contracts to Albert Pools Josh Hamilton you know Anthony Rendon poor drafting for the better part of his tenure there for poor fraud office poor deals getting done the inability to construct a good roster yeah that an injury but mostly the other stuff every team has injuries the inability to inability to build a proper decent starting rotation their bullpen has been terrible for years they haven't been able to construct anything there how you know I think they ever should have fired Mike so short did he retire you know but our management has been a bit of a mess since Mike Sotia ownership is terrible that front office is among the smallest front offices in Major League Baseball the Dodgers front office is at least twice the size of the Angels front office that means better front of a stronger front office more people working on things that's been an issue not entirely sure that how good that minor league system is there's Alex call going to Mike the Nationals but yeah the Jan the halos issues are definitely long-term organizational issues not Matthew Libertura 300 not necessarily the unfortunate injury here in there a lot of teams have injuries that doesn't tank their season there's Nolan Gorman to 125 is Vaughan Grissom to 199 Nolan Gorman will go to the guy in the Cardinals Vaughan Grissom will go to the Braves Jeremy Port and there's Riley Greene the the Tigers is top prospects that's gonna go to Stephen Carney in Detroit Ron Lacuna Jr. 175 Rex is saying the Strowman opted out of the All-Star game says he wants to stay fresh stay fresh for what when he gets traded to another team and gets traded to the Dodgers and helps lead them to to post season glory I like that I like this thinking yeah I do remember that day a couple years ago Angels did pay did draft on pretty much all pitchers if not all pitchers and all the all the rounds she ends thinking the sense see since he has a small front office but they focus on the farm system more than big trades yeah I mean so I agree I mean if the angels aren't gonna have a large farm system or a large front office you know maybe they should be focusing on the farm system which they haven't done big front office isn't just about making trades though Jen big front office means includes the scouting departments you know and analysts data analysts all that sort of stuff that are able to identify talent across all levels yeah after the All-Star game what until doesn't start up until best deal day July 14th which is a leads to a very boring part of the week I guess they're summer league basketball is Otani speaking of Otani where does he end up I mean the Angels should trade them do they trade him what do you do if you're the Angels I feel like it's a no-win situation there's Garrett cold 300 for the Yankees Daniel Smith if you trade Otani then you're the team that traded Otani you're really not gonna get for a two-month rental you're really not gonna get full value in return here's Jacob DeGraw to 199 and a chip off the old block chipper Jones going Jeremy and the Braves but then you just can't let him walk in free agency and get nothing for him that's a tough pill to swallow as well and there's Kodai Senga for the Metropolitan that's gonna go to Joe Ivers and his Mets and Aaron Judge 250 of a new hitting coach Sean Casey alright next box listen to Otani see if he wants to go to free agency or trade him in December at the winter meeting you can't trade him in December at the winter meeting because after the last game of the season Jan he's a free agent no longer an angel employee they can't trade him in December that's the rub they probably should have traded him last year if they trade him last December in the winter meetings that's probably the biggest haul they can get in terms of assets going back that's right Rex it's what do you do something or nothing doesn't want he doesn't want to stay now I don't think he believes the angels as a playoff team so Yanks got the the mayor John mayor oh Sean Casey the mayor is that what they call him yeah they hired him as a hitting coach they fired their hitting coach that kept all his assistants and they hired Sean Casey I guess he was called the mayor nicknamed the mayor right someone had to take the fall I guess there's a Brett Beatty lava 37 out of 100 going to the Mets that's gonna go to Joe and there's Nick Prado rookies rookie auto 87 out of 99 for Kansas City that'll be for Daniel I mean with Otani I have I don't know what what I would do if I was in the angels front office there's Ken Waldachuk 34 out of 50 as Julio Rodriguez and Caleb Killian first of all there's Julio right here 48 out of 125 for Seattle that's for Daniel and the autograph is for the Cubs Caleb Killian rookie auto for Darren Mackenzie Rex is our big Cubs fan here Rex tell us about Caleb Killian what do we know about him you have a good Caleb Killian story for us Vaughn Grissom it's to 300 that'll be for Jeremy and the Braves there's an independent team near or you can't say who took the Negro League team name of the Monarchs as their own with the blessing from Negro League Museum there in Casey nice it's a spot I want to want to check out I think they only just recently opened that museum I'm a museum guy enjoyed the museum do you agree that even though Otani is Otani and doing well can we say the angels failed him I think I mean I think they did Rex doesn't know much about Caleb Killian but your stepbrothers ex is married to Caleb Killian's cousin nice your stepbrothers ex married to Caleb Killian's cousin I think I can I can wrap my head around that yeah Phil agrees and yeah I think they might have failed trout too although trout knows what that organization is about and he took the money what does that say about Mike what does it say about my trout he doesn't care about winning he just cares about money you don't think in the open market he could have gotten the same contract but probably from a contender there's Max Castillo Kansas City that will be for Daniel Logan a hot speaking of the angels 87 out of 99 that'll be for Phil and there's Corbin Carroll rookies I think that might just be like a black gold sort of peril or something like that looks pretty sharp though Tristan with that one just add the rushman the O's Daniel with the Orioles Jordan Walker rookie card Josh Young's having a nice season to Cal Mitchell to 250 oh is that considered a case it that all right I like that diamondbacks that's going to be Tristan all these Josh Young's will go to Russell and the Rangers some Jordan Walker's for guy in the Cardinals G&C saying Kinso Corey or something like that there's Michael Conforto to 250 and Oscar Colas autograph Conforto for guy and the San Francisco baseball Giants and the Oscar Colas Green 57 out of 99 black gold is a case hit red gold is a 1 in 15 case hit wow and with one of the top rookies it's pretty nice huge hit says you know what is that what do you think that goes for what is this Corbin Carroll go for on the secondary market that Jacob the Grom to 300 Mookie gave it his bet shot in the home run derby he's got that in game power in game power has the NL really won the last five all-star games I'm just looking at this gamecast page on ESPN looks like it wow someone's already CAD saying someone's already asking 500 for that Corbin Carroll that's not bad Tristan when time to go out all three games tomorrow at five o'clock LA time eight o'clock East Coast the line is even basically even money right second the last box good luck everybody got a Mani Machado purple for the Padres for Daniel with a spot that he won the team that he won there's Gunnar Henderson rookie silver rookie refractor going to Daniel and the Orioles at the Rushman and Ezekiel Durant 18 out of 99 rookies green shimmer autograph Chad did some math and there are about six copies of each red gold in the product that means there's about 90 total on the black golds give or take that's pretty awesome looks really sharp too good-looking design doing Chad do I remember you telling me many moons ago that finest is like your absolute favorite product baseball product if not just outright everything there is Matthew Batten 48 out of 150 for the Padres that's gonna go to Daniel it's how your bias 150 and another Matthew Batten this time just a refractor autograph there you go finest and finest flashbacks are probably your favorite baseball product and mosaics your favorite football product this hobby for Detroit that's gonna go to Steven how do you like this year's finest yeah I think tops chrome black is also it's really nice also underrated we had that not too long maybe a couple months ago we did have a run where where we were doing like two or three tops chrome black cases a day we were just there was like a week or two stretch where we were doing that and yeah people were buying them out straight up to like straight up no fillers pretty underrated I think drew Rasmussen to undergo seasoning surgery I was kind of hoping he'd come back off the IL my fantasy baseball team needs and you've rocked about 15 KCM seen a single Jordan Walker autograph and none on eBay even though he's on the checklist so you're disappointed on that but you love the parallels and the overall checklist yeah it's it is a it's a classic product definitely a flagship product for tops they don't want to think they do their best on this maybe a little extra attention gets a little extra attention gets put on it all right good luck everybody there's Byron bucks into 300 final box that's for Phil and the twins we've got Yordon Alvarez to 175 Aqua shimmer for the Astros that's for Ed the autograph is gonna be Grayson Rodriguez nice 95 out of 99 rookie auto for the Orioles Daniel Smith bought the O's straight up look at look
