00:00Some athletes just need a change of scenery.
00:01It seems like with Cruz, they can spin it any way they want.
00:08When they sent him to the minors to open the year last year is a message.
00:12And I can't imagine the Cruz family is thrilled with how last year went
00:18and really how it's gone in Washington.
00:21And that just seems like it's going to go.
00:24It does.
00:25Who do you want back?
00:26I mean, right now I'm looking at the Mariners.
00:28The Mariners have like six starting pitchers.
00:31And it's been reported that they're trying to look to move off one of them
00:34to get a bat.
00:35And so I think right now.
00:37Is he considered a bat?
00:39Well, I mean, like.
00:41I'm not trying to be flippant.
00:42No, no, you're right.
00:44But I think their GM, Jerry DiPoto, I think he is so arrogant.
00:48I'm getting really deep in the weeds here.
00:49He's very arrogant.
00:50He thinks he could fix someone.
00:52He is going to do that.
00:54That is his mindset.
00:55And I think he's going to look at someone like Dylan Cruz.
00:57It's a big name.
00:59He's going to sell some jerseys.
01:00And he might look at them and say, hey, we could use this bat.
01:04And if they're willing to give up like a Bryce Miller type,
01:07you look at the season he had this past year, the past two years,
01:10hasn't been as great as he was in 2024.
01:12But he's still someone with a lot of upside,
01:14has three years of control left.
01:16If I'm Paul Taboni,
01:17I'm calling the Mariners trying to get Bryce Miller.
01:20That is my guy.
