Hello and welcome to Talkin' Baseball. It's time, the episode of the year. It is the trade draft. The Four Horsemen are here. Let's talk ball. It's gonna get fiscal. Would you say fiscal?
Fiscal. Bobby Bonilla. Stop.
Steven Matt's first pick? You wouldn't do that if I wasn't here. By me. In Philly. Hello and welcome to Talkin' Baseball presented to you by Fanatics Markets where fans trade on sports. My name is Jake Storielli. An absolute honor. To my right, it's the Chris Rose. Stop. To his right, it's the Jolly Olive. And technically to his right, if you kept going circular, it's Trevor Plouffe, former Philadelphia Philly, making his homecoming. Just chugged a Celsius. No free ads, but watch out, people. Rob Sirocco producing. Dalton Feeley put the sheet together. For our fifth annual trade draft, let's get some hey, how are you's before we let Chris Rose cook. Trev, you can have the honors back in your hometown.
I appreciate that. Yeah, I stayed not too far from here when I was actually a Philly. That's great. Chris Rose and I had a great flight this morning. Sure did. We sat across from each other, so I didn't really have to pay attention to him, but he was within reach if I needed something. What does that mean? Just like I like my dad. It's good for you. Thanks.
You were a little terrified on the way down. We were the last plane to get in before a huge thunderstorm struck. They told us that as we landed. They said, we were the last plane to get in. We just beat the weather. And then literally 15 seconds later, it just started pouring.
This entire city is in ruins, by the way. There's trees down everywhere, which is crazy.
But we are working.
Yeah. And Jake slept through the whole storm. Yeah, I did. I don't know if you mentioned that.
It was actually delightful. 7 a.m. train up this morning. We went to the fan village, which was crazy. We thought we were going to beat the rush. But it turns out it's Saturday, which I've just completely forgotten. So it was fully packed. It was intense. Again, we get... There's a lot of love, a lot of good people there. But yeah, I had one of those like had chicken and mac and cheese for lunch, was exhausted, like took one step in bed and then the storm started. I was like, you know what? I'm going to set a 45 minute alarm and I'll see you fuckers in hell. Let's do. Is it the sixth annual trade test?
I think it's sixth. Wow. Our first one was in Denver, so wasn't that 2021?
Jeez. 2021.
Wow, okay.
Crazy.
First, before we lay out the rules once again, we will go over last year's results. Tied for third place was the man who will see us in hell, Jake Storiale. With 10 points.
Thank you.
Tied with him in the basement was none other than the man who just shook his hand awkwardly, Jolly Olive. Crazy.
The two ball knowers did the worst. I looked back at the board and I was like, I don't know what I was thinking. Sometimes it gets exciting during the draft. And then you forget there's a graphic and you're like, oh.
The runner-up last year was yours truly with 30 points, which means that the Philadelphia Phillies legend.
Crazy.
None other than Trevor Plouffe walked away with a title with a whopping 45 points. To me, that proves, if nothing else, these should be baseball today and not talking baseball. Wow.
Kind of agree. It's coming back to me now. I had Harrison Bader went to the Phillies. So that was a big one for me.
You had Masturbator going there, yep.
Yeah, and then another one, I had like the team right as well. So that's good.
No, you had two. Eugenio Suarez, who was also an all-star last year.
