And away we go with a happy hour. 501 is the time, Chris Ello. Tony going junior, idle today. Matt Scrabie alongside here. Odyssey Palace. Studios. San Diego. California. Home of the Padres who check in at 49 and 45. A cozy four games over 500 becoming off back-to-back losses to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yeah. Off today, Seattle Mariners coming in tomorrow. We'll talk more about that game tomorrow. Beginning at two o'clock. I want to go over an article on CBS Sports with the trade deadline coming up. I'm going to give you the top names that are being rumored out there to be traded and keep it all with a grain of salt. But names that have been mentioned and players that play for teams that are going to be likely to be making some trades. Can I guess a few? Sorry? Can I guess a few? Yeah, but not yet. Okay. Before we get to that though, and I'm doing that because I mean, the Padres are going to certainly be interested in something in it. You know, with the thing happening with Darvish, I got to believe that a pitcher is on its way. Yeah. Before we get to that though, I just, this is a quick thing. Paul George was quote, I say quote because he said this. Paul George was felt, I'm sorry, he felt disrespected. Disrespected because the Clippers wouldn't offer him a three year, $150 million extension like they gave Kawhi Leonard. They wouldn't offer him a four year, $212 million contract. If there wasn't a no trade, clause attached. So he said on a podcast today, I never wanted to leave LA, but I just thought it was all kinds of disrespectful. It's a business. So I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you reading me? Can you start over so I can get a clean clip? So I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Said George, that's crazy. Nah, I'm not signing that. And we work with Tony. So we've all, both of us have become much more conditioned to the fact that athletes should make as much money as they possibly can. Hundreds of millions of dollars if they can. The owners have the money to pay them or they wouldn't offer it. But having said that, just go out and make as much as you can without using the words like, I felt disrespected. That was disrespectful. Because frankly, when you're saying $180 million offer is disrespectful, you're being disrespectful to all the rest of us. That's all I'm saying. I want Paul George to get as much as he can get. Just don't complain that an offer of $180 million is not enough. That I don't like, right? No, I'm, you see what I mean? Like I wanted to get the money, but just don't, let's leave that stuff out. I guess in the context, you got to make and move on and take it and, you know, off you go. In the context of him talking about it, like he's made it. So to him, that's a real thing. Like, I could get the super max contract offer. So I guess I don't, I understand what you're saying, but did he, I, I, was it like contact? Do you, did you see what he actually said? Like, did you see him say it? I just video quotes. No. He said, so I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, you shouldn't say whoa, whoa, whoa, because I'm not sign of that. The problem is I don't even think Paul George, like to me, Paul George is just a guy. I know he's not. I know he's not a guy. He's so good. He's, he's good enough for a super max. So he's good. I don't know, but he's not super max good. He's not Jason Tatum. Good. Jason Tatum. I have one word for him. It's overrated. It's easy to say that after I got his own championship. I also saw somebody with a listing of the best players right now in the NBA. Who would you put at the top of that list best player in the NBA right now? I'm going to say a guy and I think you're leading me in a direction that's not him, but Ant-Man? Oh, Ant-Man. All right. I don't think he's quite there yet. I think Yoakich is probably the best, but I just didn't want to say him. The answer this was given was Luca Dong pitch. And I can't stand it. When people tell me that somebody is the best NBA player and that player can't cover my grandmother on defense. I just can't deal with it. I love Donkeys. Don't get me wrong. What he does. I'm amazed. I love it. But you cannot refer to him as the best player in the league when he can't guard anyone. The Boston Celtics won the National Basketball Association championship because they targeted Donkeys on defense. That was the difference in the series. You can't be the best player if you can't guard anybody. You just can't. It's too big of a part of the game. You have to be an overall player to be considered the best player. There you go. Like Steph Curry, best player. Okay. He's the most remarkable shooter. There are no arguing that. The Paul George thing. Like we're seeing on the chat. Diesel said Paul George chokes in his injury prone. Yeah. All right. Everybody chokes in his injury prone unless you win the National Basketball Association title and don't get hurt. Here's some of the names that are going to be traded or likely to be traded. Well, yeah, I don't. Okay. You want to try to guess all 30? No, I mean, no. I mean, I got 30 names here. I'm going to start with crochet. Crochet. Garrett crochet. He's on the list. He's on the list. Potential shooters, Orioles, Dodgers, Padres. Go ahead. Peter Lonzo. I see the list is too lengthy for me to go through and I'll find these guys. Give me a couple more. And then I'll let you know. Now I'm going blank. Just tell me. Yeah, it's not going to work. The way it would have worked. But now my mind isn't working. It's not going to work this way on this particular guest game. Garrett crochets on here, Terry, scuba. Oh, yes. Detroit had a huge day yesterday. This guy's in, you know, saw young potential. I again, I don't understand why the Tigers would trade him because if and when the Tigers ever get good again, he would be a part of that. I don't think is that they're never good. Well, all right, Luis Robert. See, school ball is going to cost you everything. Yes. I'm sorry. I don't think the Padres are in for him. Luis Robert will cost you everything. He'll cost me too much. And is he better than what I have? I have three all star outfielders already. One of them's hurt though. Boba shit. Where's he going to go? And I'm not saying these are pad, Padre being all rumored to go to the Padres. I'm just saying names that are could be traded. But shed is not even a possibility for the Padres. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Same thing. No, no space. Zach Evelyn, Tampa Bay Rays. Right hander is okay. Yeah, not going to move the needle, but he might pitch you a couple of ball games and help you win them. I hope you win. Yeah. In the leads, um, Mason Miller athletics. I don't know. His market is cooled a bit. He's cooled a little. Are we better with him or just keeping a straw in the eighth inning? No, the Azar, I give up something. They already said they want like basically Jackson Merrill for Mason Miller. Okay. Not going to happen. Nathan of Aldi. Okay. I don't think Texas is trading him. They're not giving up yet. Randy Eros Arena. Again, I'll go back to my outfield comment. Cody Bellinger. Uh, we didn't want him in the first pass. Did anything about him this year? Isaac Perriti's Rays. I say his name. I think so. Oh my gosh. I've been saying it. So we're all going forever. Paradis. Maybe you haven't been saying it wrong forever. Maybe I'm saying we'll look it up later. Right now. I have time to look it up now. Isaac Perriti's. I think it's Perriti's. Oh really? Uh, Perriti's. Perriti's. Yeah. Perriti's. So actually I wasn't right either. Perriti's. You're right. Anyway, I don't want him. We got a third baseman. Ryan McMahon. Same. Got a third baseman. Jazz Chisholm. Marlon's. Yeah. He seems like he would draw. I mean, he's a pretty good player, but he would draw away from the, you know, the attention of this team, the chemistry that I like. He has low V.A.R. vibes above replacement. Is that right? Yes. He has low V.A.R. Not fan. Jack Flaherty. Finally. That's the other one. Yeah. Finally bounced back to having a nice year, but he's had too many bad years and he's still injury. He's, he's still. No. Eric Fettie. White Sox. We got guys better than him already. Jose Soriano. Angels. Throws 99 miles an hour. So. So can Robert Suarez. Carlos Estevis. Angels reliever. He's no better than a seventh inning guy. I'm not giving up anything for him, but can't you get relievers for cheaper? Like maybe the relievers are the way the Padres go here. They need a starter. They're going to need a starter. Tyler Anderson Wesley is saying on the chat. Are you going? Are you, are you going with, uh, had a major the rest of the way? No, no, I told you I'm, I am concerned every time you need a starter. Yeah. Elias Diaz Rockies. When the all-star game MVP last year, if that's what you're after. I am. So he should be on the Padres. Michael Copec. White Sox. He can't get anybody out. I mean, this guy stinks. Okay, I got, I got a name from the chat. Kirby Yates. Okay, I might get to him. Oh, Taylor Ward, outfield, angels, uh, Brett Rooker. Where already tried him? Tommy fam. Oh man, that name will never go away. Here's another guy we already tried, but he's pretty good. He's been good this year. I'm telling you Cal Quantral. Oh, I like Cal Quantral. And you could probably get him for not much. The Rockies are pretty stupid. They don't know what, they don't know what's, you know, what's value. Like this is a rock. Hey, call it, call Dick Monfer and tell him, you know, you got a coupon to, uh, you know, one month worth of free food at Roberto's King Supers is their super marketing. I'm going to go make. I love that. I love that name. Austin Gomber Rock. He's not as good as Cal Quantral. Tyler Anderson there. Somebody brought him up. Wesley, potential shooters, Giants, Astros, Padres. There you go out there. Anderson's been good. And he's picked in this division and been good before for the Dodgers and the Colorado within the Padres to see him and he did a pretty good job against him and lights out all year. Done a nice job, Anderson. Lucas Erseg. I just said, I've honestly never heard of that. He's the set up guy for Mesa Miller and Oakland. Tanner Scott, reliever, Marlins. I don't know. We need a reliever. Kirby Yates. There you go. Reliever Rangers. Here's another one that we tried already. Josh Bell. It's so funny. These names just come around every year, you know, like these guys, these guys just keep getting traded. Just keep on getting traded. They can't put down any roots anywhere. But you wonder why some of these guys actually say, Hey, I really want to know trade clause because I'm just tired of this. I'm tired of it. Paul DeYoung is the last guy in the list. He's having a nice break back season with the White Sox. But here's my thing about getting guys from the White Sox. And that includes crochet who I know people are kind of into. What about Stephen Wilson? I didn't, he didn't make this particular list. All right, Blair crochet. Here's my thing about getting guys from the White Sox. Doesn't mean it'll happen. But all year long, Gary crochet has been pitching with nothing at stake. Nothing. The White Sox suck. They're in last place. They can lose every game. No one cares. Yeah, you pitch great. That's great. And if you pitch great terrific, you get, you know, a little extra a one sauce on your steak. But then you trade him to the Padres. And now every game he's pitching means the world. It changes his season outlook changes. That worries me. And I never thought about it. I understand that almost everybody you would acquire at the trade line comes from a team that's not in contention. But a lot of the guys that aren't in contention have at least been in contention before. Gary crochet is really a concern to me. If he comes here, I'll root for him, of course. But the innings worries me. And the fact that he's been pitching with no stress at all worries me. That's a good point. I didn't think about it like that. But you're right. I mean, that's go from just who cares what you guys do. Yeah. Now all of a sudden the game matters. You better win or else. Yeah. We're going to build Christmas. He's in the minor league system. You want to you want to be interviewed by Sammy love it after the game. You better win this one. Yeah. That's a big interview. Everybody just gets to do Sammy. Did you see Sammy creeping on the field before the main image shadow interview? He was trying to stay out of the he was. What about the kid who? Okay. So on Twitter, I put the kid who ran up to Manny with his phone after what was that the Yankee Jersey guy who got tackled by Jim the security guard? Well, the security guard did a pretty good tackle. I don't know if it was Jim, but it was one of those security guards. Yeah, it was an excellent tackle. I said I said jokingly, but people took it serious that they should make these people go to a jail for for one full year to make sure that they don't do something like this. Oh, you got more. I get that this kid was excited, but you stop running on the field people. We're they're going to ruin it for us. We're going to be put way up by away from the field so that no one can even access the field. Boom. All right. I got a funny story when we come back. I don't know. It's about one of our all time baseball players who many years ago we weren't really fond of. What do you hear what's happened to this guy? And what happened to him today? It's a former all star baseball player. I'll tell you that much. And we used to root against him. You're going to laugh heartily when you hear this next story after traffic. Worried about letting someone else pick out the perfect avocado for your perfect and press them on the third date guacamole? Well, good thing. Instacart shoppers are as picky as you are. They find ripe avocados like it's their guacamole. They are milk expiration date detectives. They bag eggs like the 12 precious pieces of cargo they are.

We need a reliever. Kirby eights. There you go. Reliever Rangers. Here's another one that we tried already, Josh Bell. It's so funny. These names just come around every year, you know? Portrait. Like, do you guys, these guys just keep getting traded? Just keep on getting traded. They can't put down any roots anywhere. But you wonder why some of these guys actually say, Hey, I really want to no trade clause because I'm just tired of this. I'm tired of it. Paul DeYoung is the last guy in the list. He's having a nice break back season with the white socks. But here's my thing about getting guys from the white socks. And that includes crochet who I know people are kind of into. Well, that's Stephen Wilson. I didn't. He didn't make this particular list. All right, glare crochet. Here's my thing about getting guys from the white socks. Doesn't mean it'll happen. But all year long, gear crochet has been pitching with nothing at stake. Nothing. The white socks suck. They're in last place. They can lose every game. No one cares. Yeah, you pitch great.

But the innings worries me and the fact that he's been pitching with no stress at all worries me. That's a good point. I didn't think about it like that. But you're right. I mean, you go from just who cares what you guys do. Yeah. Now all of a sudden, the game. You better win or else. Yeah. We're going to build Christmas. He's in the minor league system. You want it.

We're going to be put way up high away from the field so that no one can even access the field. I got a funny story when we come back. I don't know. It's about one of our all time baseball players who many years ago we weren't really fond of. What do you hear what's happened to this guy? And what happened to him today? It's a former all star baseball player. I'll tell you that much. And we used to root against him. You're going to laugh heartily when you hear this next story after traffic. Games might be a little heavy for Anthony Rendon. Well, this was his way of playing, you know, a shorter season was hitting the aisle. He did have an actual injury. So seems to do it every year. He actually partially tore his hamstring, which sounds awful to me. All right. Let's get to our interview earlier today. This is informative actually sports oriented interview. Yes. Stay with us. Matt Snyder, CBS Sports. I have a recommendation for everybody. Welcome back to Gwen and Chris Chrycello Tony Gwen Jr. Idol. Today back tomorrow to a clock. Scrabies here as well. He's coming up on the Scrabie Chronicles at six o'clock. Get ready for a Paul Skeens media rant. And you just heard why. Are you going on for the whole hour or are you going to bring anything else to the table? I'll bring other stuff to the table. But here's a, here's a, a suggestion, a recommendation. Okay. MLB network here for the last what 45 minutes to an hour Scrab? I think more. Longer has been carrying the Willie Mays ceremony up at what's an oracle part. It's, it looks amazing. We have the sound down. So I don't know what everybody's saying. But, you know, in the passing of Willie, I mean, you know, President Clinton's been up there. I'm trying to put these all in the same category. I got to know why Clinton was there. Well, Willie Mays is a national treasure. I think, but I don't really think he's going to play while he was president. Well, all right. With all due respect, I don't know that we can resurrect any of the presidents who were there when he was playing. Good point. Supposed to get Woodrow Wilson out here. What do you want that you pulled with Woodrow? What do you want me to do? Clinton was, was pretty much your only option. What about Taft? Yeah, Taft would have been a tough get as well. Anyway, I'm just recommending if you get a chance to watch some of the clips of it, it looks like it's really been an amazing ceremony and a who's who of obviously the baseball world and beyond to to recognize the great Willie Mays. All right, 537 is the time. We're going to check some traffic. When we come back from that, we'll have an interview that Scrabie and I did just a little bit ago with the outstanding and excellent Matt Snyder, CBS Sports, talking everything baseball. One of our favorite interviews on this program talking baseball is Matt Snyder from CBS Sports. And I say that because he just so happens to be on the air right now. I don't say that only because he's on the air. I also say because I really do like chatting with him about the national pastime. Matt, thanks so much for taking some time. How are you? Everything good? Yeah, I'm great. About a week and a half ahead to the All-Star game. So good times. Always fun. The All-Star game, I think that's the part we don't get. It's just how much fun it is for everybody to go be there the event. I know teams, front office people don't get a chance to see each other all year, get together at the All-Star game. Is the All-Star game the unofficial place where some of the trade talking begins? I don't know about that. I've never heard anything like that. It's special for that or anything. And I mean, in this day and age, that's why I always think that the winter meetings have got to the point where they're kind of worthless because people talk with technology all the time these days. I guess it is better to meet face-to-face. So I suppose it's possible. We've seen deals come together shortly after the All-Star game. Remember, maining Machado to the Dodgers? That was pretty quick. Like from the Orioles, the Dodgers, that was pretty quick. Like right after the All-Star game. So yeah, I suppose it's possible. I'd never even really thought about that before. Yeah, I think we always think about this time of year once the All-Star selections are now and started some of the snubs. And you wrote about that today in cbsports.com. One thing you didn't have to mention in your article was any Padres getting snubbed. We got everybody and then some to the All-Star game. We're a little surprised that the Padres ended up with five. I mean, we're kind of in the same neck of the woods as the Phillies and Dodgers with that. Yeah, not really because if you look at the individuals who all made it, they're all worthy. So it's not like anybody is kind of out of whack and they don't deserve to make it. It just so happens that they're a pretty top heavy team this year. And you know, even if you lumped in players that are generally All-Star caliber, like maining Machado, Zander Bogart, there's a lot of star power on that team. It's just kind of thin. But yeah, I mean, I didn't think, like I said, I thought they all deserved to make it. So, you know, I didn't have a problem with it at all. Even a rise because I've seen some, maybe it's the analytic people who want to pick on a rise because it doesn't put the power type numbers. Yeah, I love to watch this guy hit. So I'm happy he's in the All-Star game. But do you think that people who have a gripe, do they have a real gripe or no? Yeah, he would be the one where possibly you could argue against that. I'm trying to think of who like, if Chris and Walker should probably be on the team, but I would have Chris and Walker before Peter Lonzo, for example, I think it makes the team more well rounded. I'm sure that it's completely driven by batting average. And there are a lot of people who don't like bothering with batting average to just say an age. I still maintain that. Well, it's the third most important race that because it's not as important as I'm based percentage. It's not as important as a sluggish percentage. It's still important. And when the league averages down in the 240s and you've got a guy hitting over 300, he's valuable. So I think you can justify it. Talking to Matt Snyder, CBS Sports.com here on 97 through the fan. Now Jackson Merrill, it was a nice surprise for us all here in San Diego to see him make it to the All-Star team. And it's not like he's just being thrown in because he's a rookie and they need his name out there. What have you, do you think he was a deserving of an All-Star spot? And B, what have you thought of his season so far? Oh, yeah, he was definitely deserving. I mean, I think maybe you could make an argument for like brain and memo over him or something, but that's unexciting there. And I don't think that you should change your criteria or anything to make room for something like this. But I think you've got to give him credit when he'd never played center field before this season. And he learned it on the fly in the spring and then to be in double digits and home runs and stolen bases. That's a well-rounded player right there. So I am perfectly good with him being on the team. Even if he was one of the last guys taken, I like him. I'm there. I think it's a good selection. Matt, I don't know if you heard. He's the first Padre rookie ever to make the All-Star team. Ever. No, I did not hear that. That is crazy. I thought for sure. I just thought off the top of my head the Benito Saniaga, who was a rookie of the year back in the day, had made an All-Star, but apparently not. Well, did he have a long hitting for maybe a hitting for the All-Star? Must have been after the All-Star break. Absolutely, yeah. That's one thing that fixed out of my mind as a kid was the long hitting streak and he was rookie of the year. So yeah, I would have thought that too. Yeah. Yeah, Jackson Merrill is the first. There are 32 guys that are first-time All-Stars overall and probably a few more will be added, you know, in the days to come. Does that tell us anything? What it tells me is that guys are better sooner than they ever were before. Yeah, I think so. It probably started back in 2011 with Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, and Maney Machado all coming up together and kind of taking the league by force and then it continued with Ronald Acuna Jr. and Juan Soto at such a young age. And now it continues up through this generation. Guys, like you said, they're better than ever at a younger age. But also there's veterans in there that are first-timers like Seth Lugo and like age 34 putting it all together. So there are good stories sprinkled throughout in terms of like a broad takeaway. Other than the players are better than ever at a younger age. No, not really. It's kind of a coincidence, I think. Like I said, because you mix in guys like Lugo who are first-timers as veterans or jerks and pro-far, for example, just putting it all together finally after all these years. We just had a lot of stuff coincidentally happen this season. It is true. There has been a lot of stuff that's happened. And you just mentioned jerks and pro-far talking to Matt Snyder of CBS Sports.com. And I was saying this on Friday, it seems like jerks and pro-far is annoying to everyone except for Padres fans because it seems like everyone has an issue with something that he does, whether he runs around the bases too slow or he celebrates a walk-off hit too much. What are your thoughts on pro-far? Do you think he's kind of annoying? No, not at all. And I'm not a Padres fan, so there you go. I have not heard of this annoyance. So it's, well, I mean, he's, when he's not running the bases as fast as he's protecting, he's protecting from injury, from injury, right? Thank you. Yeah. And when the celebration thing is absolutely nonsense because everybody, not everybody, but a lot of guys celebrate. That's weird. No, I think what sums up pro-far to me, the way he's put everything together this year, and they've needed him because Machado started slow, Bogart's went down, Tatis is down right now. He had to step up and he's stepped up and then some, but a perfect illustration for me is that game last week. Wednesday or Thursday, no, I think it was Friday when they brought in Robert Suarez. Yeah. And he gave up the grand flame and then he gave up that to run bomb the wrinkle, Grichik, and then pro-far led off the bottom of the ninth with that home run. It's like, that's what, that was a perfect illustration of what he's meant to this team. It's when everything else goes wrong, there's pro-far right there to pick everybody up. Yeah, I said the same thing about pro-far. He's, I don't think he's the MVP of the league, but he's done MVP type things. You know, those are kinds of things that happen. Let's go right real quick back to Jackson Merrill. Paul Skeens is a revelation. The fans in San Diego are already mad because they think Jackson Merrill is going to lose the rookie of the year to Paul Skeens. I don't know if they'll be right to be mad, but what do you, how do you see that or is it too early to tell? Because Skeens seems like he's almost like, give me. Yeah, it's probably too early to tell because Skeens has only had 10 starts. By the end of the year, you don't know are the pirates going to shut them down or they can limit his workload. They were handling him with kid blows at the start of the year. So it's hard to tell him how much of a workload he's going to have, but let's say if he ends up around 100 innings, gosh, it's awfully tough for me to give it to a pitcher with only 100 innings, you know, but if he gets up to like 135 to 140, he's probably going to have so much value there that you'd have to give it to him over Merrill. It's it'll be interesting to see how both play in the second half. And again, how much of workload the pirates allow Skeens to take on. But games obviously would be the sexy pick. It seems like that's all anybody wants to talk about. And he might start the all-star game, which would be amazing. He's the first ever guy to be drafted number one overall and then make the all-star team the very next year. So that's a that's a heck of a story. It's just it's only 10 starts. It's not even 60 innings. So what kind of workload is he going to end up with? This is why I love Matt. He has everything in perspective because we have a chance for Jackson Merrill to still win because there's people like that out there. Exactly. And I saw this. I got like a newsletter every day from baseball from a baseball site. And it said Paul Skeens, he was going through all the big things he's done so far this year. And it said, struck out of Tony on three pitchers over 100 miles an hour. No one talks about the next that bat when a Tony took him deep for a two run shot. I don't understand. I mean, I do understand the pulse. I don't know whether to something. He already, you know, okay for the scraping show, I'm going to go over his run support because he's getting help from the run support as well, Chris. Okay. All right. I was curious to see obviously anybody who says that people think war is the only set that matters. That's nonsense. It's just a tool. It's a catch all. They're essentially dead heat in war right now at baseball reference.com's version. Jackson Merrill 2.5 war Paul Skeens is 2.6. So if somebody was looking at that, they're in a dead heat. All right. Real quick, Matt, what do you trade deadline? If you're the Padres, you just had a nice run. You won 12 out of 15 games, but you also just heard that you Darvish is on personal leave and may not be back at all. We don't even know, you know, and some of these teams in the wild card are two, three games behind. You know, a couple of them are going to make a run. So the Padres probably have to do something, don't they? And if so, you know, would it be a tinker thing or do you think that they can pull off something big? I mean, A.J. Prellery, I guess we never know. You're the mad scientist. So if you look at the construction of the roster, you have to be all in, right? You have to pretty much do whatever you can to make the playoffs and hope that they make a deep playoff run. Otherwise, what are we even doing with all these huge contracts? And, you know, I know they traded one Soto one year away from free agency, but still the rest of the makeup of the roster says win now. So and look, we just saw the Diamondbacks make the World Series from 84 wins last year. The Padres team two years ago was maddeningly inconsistent and they never got tough teeth back and they're waiting all year for that and they ended up in the NLCS. But they know all too well that all you've got to do is make it there and then anything can happen. So I think they've got to be all in. It's just, it's so hard to find the sellers right now. Like, I think that the Blue Jays and Tigers have probably fallen enough down that you can say they're sellers, but, you know, and we see a report about the Rangers. Maybe they'll be sellers now, but above them in the American League, the Rays are too close, even though they just traded to Volley, that was to make room for Shane Bogg. But there's, you know, nine, ten teams in contention on the National League side. The Cubs have the third worst record after the Marlins and Rockies who are obvious sellers, but the Cubs are five and a half out. It's kind of hard to sell when you're five and a half out. I think the Nationals seem like they would be a seller, but they're only five out. So it's just, it's going to be tough because there are teams, let's say the Orioles, for example, if they decide to flex their muscles, they have so much more prospect depth than the Padres do, and they desperately need starting pitching and Bolton help. So, you know, it's going to be tough out there. I think that's kind of what baseball had in mind, you know, by extending the wild card to keep more people in it and keep there from being a bunch of sell-offs in the month of July. Matt, always great talking to you. Enjoy the, enjoy the All-Star game and the festivities next week. And I can never thank you enough for, you know, consistently coming on our show and making time for us. We really do appreciate it. Thanks again. And look forward to talking to you soon. All right. Sounds good. Have a good one. Matt Snyder getting it done, getting there done, getting her done. All right. We got a couple of minutes left here, Scrab. What's coming up on the Chronicles, other than you're ripping on Paul Skeens for no apparent fault of his own. I'm not ripping on him. I'm ripping on the media. I'm also going to, I just found this article about LeBron James talking about his son, Bronnie, and I find it very interesting. Really? Because they asked him, how is Bronnie handling the nepotism, you know, trash dog? Yes. And he said, Bronnie doesn't care, which I think is a good thing for Bronnie that he doesn't care. But it's very interesting because LeBron said that in the early part of his career, like his first couple of years in the NBA, he had a hard time with trying to make everyone like him. And so he said that his son's much different than he is because he's able to block it out. And LeBron wasn't able to block it out. And I think Bronnie does have tools like that that can help him, like watching his dad go through an entire career and be in front of the media all the time. You know what? I think what? I think Bronnie James ever going to play. Like other than the fact like 60 point blowout, he's going to be the 14th guy or 15th guy in the roster, no matter how much LeBron wants that to be different. He's not better than I don't think the other 12 or 13 guys are going to be on that team. If LeBron is mad that his son is not getting playing time and he doesn't deserve playing time, that's a weird thing to go down. That's a weird route to go down. Well, that's a, that's a, I don't think it'll happen, but that's a position LeBron James has put himself in. He asked for this. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. He beat the Lakers did not scout Bronnie James and go, Hey, think we've got ourselves a jewel here that no one else will pick. I mean, he's the most famous 55th pick ever. The Lakers told other teams not to select him. He wouldn't sign or the day agent did on draft day. Yeah, because he would, yeah, he's not going to sign. He might even go to Australia. Right. He would move. He would go to the moon if you drafted him. Stupid Bulls got Chris Duarte and two second round picks. I have no idea who those guys are. For DeMar DeRozan. You were just saying to me a couple of weeks ago that DeMar DeRozan, you didn't think was like a franchise changer. It's worth a lot, a lot more than what I just said. That's true. He's been an all star like 16 times. I one of our favorite interviews on this program talking baseball is Matt Snyder from CBS Sports. And I say that because he just so happens to be on the air right now. I don't say that only because he's on the air. I also say because I really do like chatting with him about the national past time. Matt, thanks so much for taking some time. How are you? Everything good? Yeah, I'm great. About a week and tall to head to the All-Star game. So good times. Always fun. The All-Star game, I think that's the part we don't get. It's just how much fun it is for everybody to go be there the event. I know teams, front office people don't get a chance to see each other all year. Get together at the All-Star game. Is the All-Star game the unofficial place where some of the trade talking begins? I don't know about that. I've never heard anything like that. It's special for that or anything. And I mean, in this day and age, that's why I always think that the winter meetings have gotten to the point where they're kind of worthless because people talk with technology all the time these days. But I guess it is better to meet face-to-face. So I suppose it's possible. We've seen deals come together shortly after the All-Star game. Remember me and my childhood of the Dodgers, that was pretty quick. Like from the Orioles, the Dodgers, that was pretty quick. Like right after the All-Star game. So yeah, I suppose it's possible. I'd never even really thought about that before. Yeah. I think we always think about this time of year once the All-Star selections are announced are some of the snubs. And you wrote about that today in cbsports.com. One thing you didn't have to mention in your article was any Padres getting snubbed. We got everybody and then some to the All-Star game. Were you a little surprised that the Padres ended up with five? I mean, we're kind of in the same neck of the woods as the Phillies and Dodgers with that. Yeah. Not really because if you look at the individuals who all made it, they're all worthy. So it's not like anybody is kind of out of whack and they don't deserve to make it. It just so happens that they're a pretty top heavy team this year. And you know, even if you lumped in players that are generally All-Star caliber like Maney Machado, Zander Bogart, there's a lot of star power on that team. It's just kind of thin. But yeah, I mean, I didn't think like I said, I thought they all deserve to make it. So you know, I didn't have a problem with it at all. Even a rise because I've seen some maybe it's the analytic people who want to pick on a rise because it doesn't put up the power type numbers. Yeah. I love to watch this guy hit. So I'm happy he's in the All-Star game. But do you think that people who have a gripe, do they have a real gripe or no? Yeah, he would be the one where possibly you could argue against that. I'm trying to take who like if person Walker should probably be on the team, but I would have Christian Walker before Pete Alonso, for example, I think it makes the team more well rounded. I'm sure that it's completely driven by batting average. And there are a lot of people who don't like bothering with batting average to just stay an age. I still maintain that while it's the third most important raised that, because it's not as important as I'm based percentage. It's not as important as plugging percentage. It's still important. And when the league averages down in the two 40s and you've got a guy hitting over 300, he's valuable. So I think you can justify it. Talking to Matt Snyder, CBS Sports.com here on 97 through the fan. Now Jackson Merrill, it was a nice surprise for us all here in San Diego to see him make it to the All-Star team.

I was just making sure I had the right guy. Am I correct that the NFL's preseason schedule starts a month from today? Maybe the Hall of Fame game. Hall of Fame games before that really a month from today. Hall of Fame game is August 1st. That's way less than a month. Wow. Time is flying. Give me a little football. Get me some gravy chronicles.
