Vinny Rotino 0:00

Thanks to our guests. Thanks to Katie Wu of The Athletic. Thanks to James Spiegel of Sox Machine, Megan Montemuro of The Tribune, and Mark Rohde of us. Thanks to everybody who helped be a part of this show. Grant Leder, Ray Diaz, David Dykstra also helping us out today. Cody Westerlin, Connor O'Donnell, Max Curtis, and Jacob Stutz. And this report coming in from Jesse Rogers. conflicting with the Michael Cerami of Bleacher Nation report. Per source, the Cubs have not acquired Reed Detmers in a trade with the Angels. Well, they can't acquire Reed Detmers if it's not with the Angels, so we know that for sure.

Laurence Holmes 0:38

It's true, and it's okay. Like, this is what happens, right? It's the trade deadline, so you have to be careful with what you go with. No, you don't. Whoever's first wins.

Vinny Rotino 0:49

The Cubs have acquired Reed Detmers in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys.

Laurence Holmes 0:52

Right. And Michael's had some hits in his career as a newsbreaker, so we'll see what ends up happening.

Matt Spiegel 1:00

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, Lawrence, but it's fascinating that Michael Cerami's really good at what he does, and he's also transitioning over from blogger to newsbreaker. And so many of these people that we see have made that transition in the past or are in progress. I suspect he's right and just willing to go earlier than others are willing to go.

Laurence Holmes 1:23

Yeah, and I'm not here to judge him. I'm just saying this is one of those things where I think that in our business, especially in the idea of the breaking news cycle, I think we have reached a point where it's okay. You don't have to be first.

Is the report that the Cubs acquired Reid Detmers accurate?

Laurence Holmes 1:39

Everything's cool. The breaking news bubble has burst.

Marshall Harris 1:43

Is that what you're saying? Look, I think baseball does a better job of that than other sports in the way that they do.

Why are different outlets reporting conflicting trade news about Detmers?

Matt Spiegel 1:50

they'll they'll accredit you know whoever had it quote-unquote first yeah and they'll add whatever they want to add to it there's been a wild west thing to it for a long time and then everybody's kind of got called on it through the years but now you have these folks breaking in from different levels they're not they're not about that life they're not they're not necessarily respectful and i'm not saying michael i think michael does a terrific job but there are plenty out there who are just kind of shooting from the hip and hoping i

Laurence Holmes 2:14

I don't know that it's shooting from the hip. I would say it's probably one source reporting. And I think that when you're talking about some of the other orgs, they're going to wait until you have more than one source. And I kind of think that's where we're at right now. I don't think it's just, hey... This might happen, so I'm going to say that it's a news thing. It might be you're talking to someone in an organization and they're saying, yeah, we're going to get this done. And you run out with it because you do want to be first. I would just say, you know, it's all good.

Vinny Rotino 2:47

Or you've got it and there's a hierarchy at times.

Matt Spiegel 2:50

The deadline's going to come during our show. Later on today. So we will sift through everything as best we can. There's a lot that's official that is enormous. Adley Rutschman just went to the Red Sox from the Orioles. Joe Adele went to Cleveland from the Angels. The Luis Arise trade to the Phillies. And what they're going to do is they shuffle players on defense. is fascinating on a lot of levels. Liam Hicks has been a terrific catcher for the Marlins. He just went to the Rays within the last hour. People are out here going crazy.

Vinny Rotino 3:24

Peralta went to the Rays. Freddie Peralta yesterday. We thought that was going to be the centerpiece of all of this prior to Scooble.

Marshall Harris 3:31

I think the shifting thing that you just mentioned with the Phillies, I got that same question when I saw the Luis Garcia to the Yankees.

Matt Spiegel 3:37

I was like, okay, so who's going to play where again? Yeah, and I don't know exactly how the Yankees are going to sort it out, but the word out of Philly is they're pushing Bryce Harper back to the outfield after years of being at first base now.

Marshall Harris 3:47

They need production in the outfield, so that makes some sense.

Laurence Holmes 3:50

So he goes to the outfield, Boehm goes to first base, and Arise plays second.
