What trade did the Red Sox make with the White Sox?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring.
Oh, that guy.
This is the Baseballs and Boring Show. My favorite person on the planet right now is Zach Coe, even despite the poorly named podcast we have, Entering Kenmore. Because I said this. I don't know if you guys were on with me when we were talking about songs. I said, like, I had this on a loop. This was, like, one of my loop songs. I'm running a marathon. I'm training. This is my loop song. What does that mean? It's a good loop song. What's that mean? You just keep playing it, man. Over and over and over. Just keep playing it. Is this a runner's thing, or is this in general people do this?
You know, every summer you have a loop song. Mine recently has been Little Red Corvette by Prince.
Yeah. Yeah.
Like stick season for me. It changes. It's a song you just have on repeat for like months at a time.
That you cannot get enough of.
I think I've only had one of those in my life. Okay. What was it? It's Down Under by Matt Ward. Oh my God, dude.
It's Gordo's karaoke song. Do you sing it? Sing it for me? I don't want to sing it. Come on, come on.
Volkanovski fought last night.
I'm not singing Down Under right now.
I need music. What about Paul Bunyan? Can we get background music with no lyrics? Is that a thing we do?
Can we do that? Actually, I don't know if I know. That could do that. I don't know if I know the lyrics. Why is that queues up the Man Under? What is it? Down Under? Down Under. Men at work?
Men at work? It is men at work.
Why we do that, we should note that the Red Sox have made a trade. The trade is Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin for a gentleman named Gage Zeal. Where was he drafted? Where was the young Gage drafted? Fourth round in 2024 by the Yankees. Okay. By the Yankees, he was traded, and he touched double A with the Yankees, but then he went back down with the White Sox last year, and he was in high A. So the big thing here was, what is it? Let me do the math. $16 million they get. They traded David Sandlin and Jordan Hicks to get $60 million off of Jordan Hicks' contract. That's what it is. Jordan Hicks was 0-24, correct? Yep, and Sotts was chipping in 8. 8, chipping in 8. If math be mathing, then that's what it would be.
So you got rid of Jordan Hicks. You got rid of David Sandlin for a guy who is a little ways away. Was he a college kid or a high school kid? College kid. I think he went to Miami. Okay. Okay, so who knows? Maybe he's the next Travius Savage. That's my thing this week.
Who's the next Travius Savage? Kyson.
Kyson Witherspoon. Go check him out. I bet you guys are on the podcast. Baseball is an important podcast. Kyson Witherspoon, last year's first-round pick. He is going to be a hero in October for the Red Sox. But, so, we have the trade. Real quick, before we go back to the phone lines, and you can weigh in, 617-779-7937. And the other thing we were talking about, which I do like, which brain trust do you trust the most of all these brain trusts? By the way, how's that poll coming on your own?
Last I looked, the Sox had 11%.
You ready?
Yeah, tell us what the poll is on Boss Sports Gordo. Okay, we've got 1,731 votes. Wow! No, you've got to say what it is. What's the question? The question is, of the four major Boston teams, which one is the closest to a championship right now?
Now, with this in mind, it's almost a goof because you only have one game to win and you've got a championship with the Patriots.
There's a lot of people in the comments clowning me right now. That's good.
Thanks for taking it out of the team.
We've got 1% for the Bruins. That's me. That was my vote. That was Sammy's vote. We've got the Celtics and the Red Sox tied at 5%. Really?
And the New England Patriots are the surprising leaders. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Celtics and the Red Sox are tied. We talk about those teams completely differently. Like the Celtics, great moves all the time.
Sammy, everyone's voting for the Patriots.
No, no, but I'm just, I can't believe.
Who are the players involved in the Red Sox/White Sox trade?
It's 5% higher than you thought for a second place in this poll. No, because there's goofs.
