What innovative packing rule did Taylor Rogers create for road trips?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring.
You don't get bored by baseball.
One thing the game needs is more people like you. You. You. You. You. You. You.
You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
You.
All right, there's no human being on the planet I'd rather be talking to. So thank you for joining once again. And we were just talking, you had, when we caught up for a podcast at Fenway Park, you said something which I actually have passed on to multiple people. which I thought was one of the wisest things ever, which is always pack every pair of underwear that you ever have because you never know where you're going to go. I'm paraphrasing. I apologize. I don't know. I don't know if that's a paraphrase. I think that's dead on. Dead on. Yeah. And at the time, people might say, well, that seems extreme. Yet, as we just pointed out, if not extreme, science would suggest it was absolutely the right move, right?
yeah yeah it was i don't know remember exactly when we met but it was like kind of approaching the deadline yeah time and uh anyway yeah at the deadline i ended up getting traded once uh the day before the deadline and then the next day got traded again uh on the deadline so i don't know if we manifested anything or anything but uh that's why you always just prepare and i think we talked at that time too you're not You're not like suggesting or wanting a trade to happen or nothing necessarily, just being prepared. Kind of like car insurance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's what happened. So take me through, if you can, that day, the series of events, like what if the three days basically, right?
Yeah, basically it was three days.
How did Taylor Rogers' underwear rule help him during trades?
We were home in Cincinnati. It was about one o'clock in the afternoon when I got traded to Pittsburgh. So I didn't dress with the team that day and ended up leaving. Pittsburgh had an off day. So they just said, hey, sit tight and we'll let you know where to go tomorrow because we have an off day today anyway. Said, all right, that sounds good. And then ended up getting flipped to the Cubs the next day.
Okay. All right. What was that day like? I mean...
Well, and then, you know, I guess to add more fuel to it, my brother got traded that day as well.
Oh, that's right.
So we had something, a hell of a day in the family. And the funny part about that story was... My grandpa had gone and done a minor surgery. So when he came out of surgery, he was told that both his grandsons were on different teams. And he was all from the anesthesia. He was like, wait a minute, what happened? How long was I out for?
Oh my goodness. Yeah, it was a good day.
Was it?
I mean, it was an interesting day. I can't imagine what the text chains were, you know? All right, so congratulations on not only your baseball excellence, but also your wisdom. So as we sit here right now, how do you feel different? Like you're sitting here with another team. Yeah, so how do you, what's your vibe right now? Oh, I'm just excited to be back here.
Yeah. I think this offseason, I told my agent that if Minnesota was available for a reunion, I'd like to do that. And then when Shelty got the job and brought Latrell Hawkins in and Mark Hallberg, I was really kind of eyeballing it. I kind of realized that with kind of the middle reliever market, you're going to wait until January. Yeah. And so that's kind of what happened. But yeah, I'm just excited to be back.
But that's the thing is that like, listen, there's still relievers as we sit here out there. So I mean, I would imagine like to find a place that you want to go. and to not have to do it in March or whatever, it's good. It is.
It's kind of like the underwear philosophy. You've got to have the mindset of, I might have to wait into February. And that's just part of the game nowadays. So it's just how it works.
If I don't do a t-shirt to say the underwear philosophy, I'm not trying.
Well, everybody does the underwear philosophy, right? Yeah. If you're going to do a three-day trip, you bring five or six pairs in case you have an accident.
