What insights did Bradfo gain from the MLB Awards red carpet?
App BB isn't boring. App BB isn't boring. It's been a wild week. It's been a fun week. It's been a good week at the GM meetings. Boots on the ground. Baseball's in boring. Boots on the ground, of course. Go check out all the interviews. I feel like some of the good stuff even gets lost, but we're going to keep surfacing and talking about it. It is just the t-shirt gun launching into the... offseason obviously and this was sort of the culmination of it it was a little bit different this time around at the gm meetings usually just ends with a thud on wednesday but major league baseball wanted to make it a little bit different with the mlb awards happening on thursday night which i obviously stuck around for and i'm glad i did because they had a red carpet event
And, you know, why wouldn't you stick around for a red carpet event? I did my best E! Entertainment impersonation sitting outside the velvet rope as these guys came back. But it was a really, really useful exercise. And this is sort of how I want to introduce the podcast today. Obviously, you probably know about the MLB Awards. You probably know about all the awards, including, by the way, the MVP was actually announced. Cal Raleigh did not win. He just walked by me in the airport, but he did not win. He came up just short with Aaron Judge, let the debate rage on. I did not have a vote for the American League MVP. I did have a vote for the American League Cy Young, which I haven't talked about on the podcast, or maybe I'll break it down, break down all the awards.
I voted for Tarek Skubal. Slightly over Garrett Crochet. Let the discussion begin. Let the debate begin. So be it. I'm all for it because that's what makes these awards great. That's what makes the Hall of Fame discussion great. That's what makes baseball great. Really, you have these sort of discussions. You have these debates. It's not just cut and dry. And this was another case of that with the MVP obvious award. But, you know, speaking of Scooble, he is one of the guys that I did talk to. Right. And so, and you can hear in the background, yes, we are at the airport. Final boarding call for Porter Airlines in case anyone's listening. But I wanted to make sure that I got this podcast to you because I had a lot of great interviews today.
Like I said, in school, we'll be in one of them. So I'm going to play these for you. And we have first off, we have a couple of the Mets. And obviously, the Mets guys are always in the news. We always try and stay on top of all the Mets news. In this case, we talked to both Edwin Diaz, who obviously is now a free agent. and Juan Soto, who reflected on being a free agent this time last year, was a be-all, end-all in that conversation. So that's where I want to start off. I'm going to give you Edwin Diaz and then Juan Soto. Then we're going to get into some other guys. PCA, Pete Crow Armstrong, one of my favorite players, one of my favorite guys to talk to, Tarek Skubal. Like I said, he came around. We talked to him.
I don't think anyone's talked to him really since all these rumors had started. So that's exactly what we did. And then we also talked to a guy who had a rough time of it last year after being traded, Dustin May. He was playing in the... MLB golf tournament newly formed MLB golf tournament so I thought it was kind of interesting what he had to say in terms of switching teams leaving the Dodgers he still gets a ring congratulations to him obviously and then of course we have Pedro Martinez to finish it off one quick question with Pedro about his Red Sox about what they're doing and also his tuxedo and by the way speaking of clothing I guess and I really don't know if this had anything to do with clothing but I just want to tell everyone as I walked out of the
The red carpet for the MLB Awards, after I walked out of the room, we were talking to these players, who do I walk into? Boom, Flavor Flav. And I said to Justin Turner, who was walking by, I said, listen, if I don't give this guy a sticker right now, I'm not trying.
