Greg Foot 0:07

When I think of the future, I think of important people and what I want to offer them. At Nordea Private Banking, my own investment manager helps me make decisions that take time. This way my family stays ahead of the steps.

Vinny Rotino 0:25

Nordea.fi or Private Banking. Thanks to Ray Diaz, our sound and executive producer today pulling double duty. Thanks to David Dykstra for helping us out. Thank you to Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Cody Westerlin. Thanks to Bob Nightingale for letting us in on some major news when it came to the Brewers and Peralta and the White Sox and Clay Holmes. And thanks to Mike Florio. It's time to turn it over to our men, Spiegel and Holmes. Hey, guys.

Laurence Holmes 0:57

What's happening, y'all? It's good to see everyone. I see that Grody is handing out bears. Like, that's really exciting. The pixelated shirt on one, Marshall Harris.

How do the hosts introduce the episode and set the conversational tone with banter?

Laurence Holmes 1:08

I wore it for speech to remind him of his victory.

Matt Spiegel 1:11

Oh, that's kind of you right there. Can you see the picture? It illustrates.

Marshall Harris 1:15

Oh, well, the buff helps on the bottom. Lay low. It cracked her up because she's like, well, it's the same thing as on the screen, but it's so much bigger. Like, little it makes sense.

Vinny Rotino 1:26

Very funny. Little it makes sense, but when you expand the tech, I'm like, oh.

Matt Spiegel 1:30

That's what happens. Those are all the pixels we got, huh? Yeah, we need more bits. Yeah. It's not enough bits.

Vinny Rotino 1:37

Well, Super NES was 16-bit, and that's when all hell broke loose.

Marshall Harris 1:40

More bits, more bears. NBA Live 95, NHL 94, what's up?

Matt Spiegel 1:45

Yes, what's up? I love me some Clay Holmes. We did a long segment on it yesterday as we're debuting a thing we're doing now called Targets, about trade targets. Wait a second.

Vinny Rotino 1:54

I have heard of this. Does it mirror our stalking segment?

Matt Spiegel 1:58

Pretty much.

Vinny Rotino 1:59

Targets, that's a nicer way to put it. It's the same thing.

Matt Spiegel 2:01

Trade targets.

Vinny Rotino 2:02

Trade targets. We're out here just online creeping.

Matt Spiegel 2:06

Go get it. Clay Holmes is going to be the front of somebody's rotation in the playoffs.

Vinny Rotino 2:10

Front. But how about Nightingale saying Clay Holmes and the White Sox?

Matt Spiegel 2:14

Sure.

Vinny Rotino 2:15

And you know if Bob Nightingale says it. If you know what Bob Nightingale says about the White Sox.

Matt Spiegel 2:19

Lawrence, would you sign up for that for the White Sox? It's been a little weird with Bob and the White Sox over the last few years.

Vinny Rotino 2:23

I don't know, man.

What discussion begins around Clay Holmes and the idea of trade targets?

Vinny Rotino 2:24

I still know that he's kind of more plugged in than others are.

Mark Grote 2:27

They're interested, but are they more interested than other teams are interested?

Matt Spiegel 2:31

But I'm just saying Bob is plugged into factions of the White Sox which have varying levels of power. You know what I mean?

Vinny Rotino 2:37

Isn't that kind of how it always is when you're reporting, though? Maybe.

Matt Spiegel 2:40

Maybe so. Yeah, I agree with that.

Vinny Rotino 2:42

But, yeah, I see what you're saying. Like, sometimes when you've got the guys here.

Matt Spiegel 2:45

When you've got guys and then they stop being the guys in charge but they're still your guys, then what do you end up actually reporting? It gets messy out there. Sorry, Marshall, you were asking Lawrence if he'd be signed up for Clay Holmes?

Marshall Harris 2:56

Yeah, because of what you'd have to give up to get now that's a rental. That's not really my first choice.

Laurence Holmes 3:01

It's like a $5 million rental. I can see it not being as expensive as you may think it would be. My concern is, What version of you is coming back, and how much time do I have to make that determination if I'm the White Sox or the Cubs or whoever else might be trading for them?

Marshall Harris 3:20

Let's start with this question. If they got a starter tomorrow, what are you doing in your rotation? Who's out? Is it Fedde out? Is it Schultz out?

Laurence Holmes 3:28

Oh, Schultz is.

Marshall Harris 3:30

That's what I think, but I'm just throwing this at both of you.

Laurence Holmes 3:33

We were talking about this a couple weeks ago. I think that if you're going to keep him on the major league roster, then you're going to make him a reliever. If you would like to keep developing him, I don't know that this team should be the team that's developing him.

Marshall Harris 3:50

I thought he should go back to AAA and get it all together. But if you want to keep him, he can be opposite of Sean Newcomb in that long reliever role when you're down as opposed to up. Problem is, doesn't get lefties out.
