 JP we are detainee you in LA. We're not letting you leave. Yes. Alright, so we're gonna give you some names And I want you to tell me where they're going if they're going anywhere at all Let's start with Madison bum garner Giants have gotten back in the race. I'll make this quick brevity also is my strength Madison Bum Garner stays put in San Francisco. They're not trading him anywhere. The Giants have played well enough They're in the race Bruce Bochi's last year Don Trell mad bum stays put maybe they move a reliever like a will smith or 20 Watson But right now the Giants keep their ace the team played too well at the right time and they put a lot of pressure on far Haun you cannot give away Madison bum Garner. I don't care what you give back That's a lot of garlic fries being sold out there on the days. He pitches man. He's a big dog That's gonna be really interesting if they do it. All right. How about Noah Cindergarde? I'm honestly surprised the Mets are I don't know why they would want to trade Noah Cindergarde But please tell me about that the Mets desperate for some good news after the cano Diaz trade did not go especially well I think Kevin for me gone well breaking news sources say hasn't gone well so far for the for the Mets Cindergarde to the Astros to me is the is the best one. I believe you look at where he goes I think they've done a good job of remaking guys in the past on trial like we're Lander Cindergarde to Texas Meaning Houston they get him to Texas that orange juice money. They don't have another ring I'll tell you what that those three guys. He's gonna be the three He'll win any matchup. He'll go up against any three in the league and win that matchup Especially the way they score they get him down in H town man watch out We had stromen on the list, but you just kind of pretty much told us where he's gonna go So I'm gonna flip and what's what's go to how about Felipe Vasquez? Pirates closer he I believe is gonna go to the Atlanta Braves if he goes at all now I think Pittsburgh has said the price is too high But for me Dantrell the Braves have a prospect rich farm system Vasquez is so dominant and we know Dantrell in the National League playoffs You got to go through the Dodgers and that dynamic left arm that you see right there You think about imagine up against Bellinger and Muncie and Peterson and Seager for years to come I love Vasquez going to the Braves. Let me ask you something. You don't think he can come here to LA I mean, that's a big arm to bolster that bullpen and they need a little help Joe Kelly has not really panned out like they need him to especially in those late innings You think he has a chance to come here? I think that's it. I think the Dodgers would as well But their their tradition Dantrell has not been to give up the very a-level best prospects They have to get somebody that's what the price is gonna be for Vasquez. I believe the Braves, Alex Anthopoulos He was a very aggressive GM in Toronto more to come from him in Atlanta. He is the king of brevity J.P. The best that they wanted will Smith actually they were very close to getting him from the Giants back in the off-season Didn't happen. They were talking to the Giants as well now as San Francisco looks like they're probably gonna be buyers Probably can't get Smith, but Jake Deekman very much on the Cardinals. That would make sense. What would make sense for the Cubs J.P. A bat especially you know Chris Bryan had a bit of a knee issue yesterday that they've needed some offense in general And it's not necessarily the biggest names. Yes, they like Nicholas Castellanos in Detroit, but Eric Sogarde I mentioned earlier the Dandy Santana type of a player can move around the diamond for you Sogarde is a guy and you talked yesterday in the show Dantro with Eric Karros about the Cubs struggles and leadoff spot Absolutely Eric Sogarde better than 800 OPS as a leadoff guy. He'd be perfect for them and Castellanos as well I we talked before about all the lefties in general they've talked about Felipe Vazquez in that context of the trade market Well Castellanos if you're a club like the Cubs or the Braves They may have to deal with the Dodgers and the playoffs to deal with all those lefties You want a big righty bet Castellanos better than a thousand OPS against lefties this year Well, they're missing Deceptive Flower and Zobros the guys at the table setters the guys that can work the count the Cubs They hit a lot of home runs, but they swing through a lot of balls as well They swing to a lot of strikeouts. So that's kind of tough. They need a table setter I like house for her, but I don't like that experience. I want to put him down in the lineup That's tough to be a leadoff guy That's why I don't think we appreciate the one Pierre's the Luis Castillo's the guys that can hit with two strikes You know, it's it's a tough gig to follow with that. So I think they're good Not that good though. I think they're in the middle of a meal. I think their rotations middle of a meal I think they're all fences. So that's why it's gonna be a race in this century It's gonna be a dog fight. Do they have talent? But yeah, I think so but I think it's gonna be middle of the mill with you said they swing and missed a lot They actually have the highest swing and miss rate in the month of July I mean they are swinging and missing a lot and it's amazing right? No Fowler has not been what the Cardinals had hoped he's been better this year. They have not replaced him No, they have not replaced him since he left him. They have not I know they've had spurts right Rizzo leading off They've done a lot of different things, but they have not had the guy and some of the moves the best moves are no moves at all Speaking of that Ian have just called up today for the first time all year still unsure about what his role is gonna be But he gets another chance to redeem himself after being in the minor leagues. Why not? I mean, it's worth a shot So let's start with Matthew Boyd. Give us a destination Matthew Boyd I believe to the Philadelphia Phillies had a really good look at him the other day in Detroit He actually struck out eight Phillies in a start here this week heavily scouted And of course the Phillies were able to scout him in person just by batting against him And I think Boyd for them They've struggled to get consistent left-handed pitching there for a long time Don Trell having that left the arm there in the NLE It's a great fit for them I think Boyd they're a longer-term play because they don't have to really worry about winning the division this year more of a Longer-term play because three more years of control after this. I love Boyd Especially he's deceptive the fastball has life and he has a big whooper-duber breaking ball to keep guys off balance I think he would be a nice little fit because they're left every righty dominant in that rotation There are not a ton of relievers and everybody needs relievers Shane Green is their closer. Where will he go? I've got him right now going to the Los Angeles Dodgers We know for the Dodgers the way that Kenley has pitched deep in the playoffs the last couple years The World Series has been Kenley Jansen's roughest round. He's been very good actually in general But you could tell the signs of the fatigue maybe the high contact rates I think Green going to the Dodgers He would go there probably as a set-up guy down trail and then to show deference to Kenley as the main guy in the ninth inning But he can close if needed down the stretch You said earlier in the show Nicholas Castellanos as a cubs as a possibility need a bat it cubs it or is there another team for you? I think cubs they're the hottest team on them right now I do think actually the Phillies would be a fit depending how they play the next several days or the Braves Given their offensive struggles of late Austin While he's really struggled last month or so after a very hot start either the Braves or the cubs for Castellanos But I give the edge of the Chicago cubs. What do you feel about this? How did JP do? Do you agree spot? I don't go against the guru, but I think for me for Boyd I like to see him in Anaheim uniform I think he's the one that they want they can control and then they give a more length in that rotation Maybe Minnesota, but that ball flies and he's already familiar in that division But I love to see him in Anaheim and then this building and really get some guys that can stay healthy That they can trust and can get through the lineup twice. Yeah that that's an interesting call We will see who where these tigers end up going but likely they are on out of Detroit
