11-18 Jon Heyman

" Nothing has happened yet -- little buoyed by it's those analyses of him and he give me interested in something right now at least a couple of good -- when he got blown out and academia yeah nothing's happened yet let's get so let's get the first salvo fired idiot let's now."

" Sucking salvos but -- if you would Mike Rosenberg. I'm not a Michigan man myself but my mother would -- really and I yes and I I got to meet bone chip -- going briefly the president of the Tigers many many years ago. And I try to suck up to him by telling him I went to northwestern Big Ten school and he he resolve remained might northwestern minority with look it up -- like. Nobody was played by -- northwest of the subject you consider that he owned them. So that's -- it was -- northwestern."

" Yeah well he was on he was on Harris stance as a matter of math that northwest the matter was the head coach okay maybe forty minute he would Alex Agassi ago."

" Guys famous guys on Northwestern's there was George Steinbrenner with the northwestern. Coach for a little while I don't."

" I mean actually won games that's there was nobody was he actually had one million simulate that in Oakland weapons if you Garland had a -- and a couple of games in. A couple of pretty good -- you happy with that. Anyway I don't think I was thought Percival looks accurate and what's going on with sabathia who who has made an offer. That at least has him somewhat even thinking what authorised one way lying against the Yankee loss why."

" Gotta be pick him -- be thinking about the Yankee offer although Greg Ganske -- agent took the public understand is that politely think you'll take it under advisement. Presented to -- feel I think spent part of the weekend in law's statement said that poker in golf tournament for a lot of big stars. You know I think the Yankees go away in -- at this point but you know needed Dodgers Angels in the Giants moments threats and I you know I understand Doug Melvin Brewers GM was all upset that the Yankees did forty million over what they've been."

" Did his dance it was silly though why they did forty over -- a business -- did this ordeal than it did because they haven't that's why -- to overlook."

" And they want the player and they don't feel that the -- amid their pockets and it felt but I can say that they don't feel the Brewers -- the competition may happen. Beat -- California he wants to play in California all things being equal that's been said many times. He -- label California the Angels and -- a big market teams with the wherewithal to make a decent size bid. I mean you -- Milwaukee honest any like Milwaukee love the players there but you bid thirty mile 37 million under what -- kind of making why would you expect to get him I mean if the -- Underwood Santana he gets from the Mets they they -- opening."

" I guess the question I would have for sabathia is agent how does the is no one else gets close to 140 how does he get the Yankees upped the offer."

" Well you know it publicly someone's at 120 apparently -- until the Yankees with the other operas -- somebody that want audience about it is telling him you know I like being California I can I can't stand the one point is that -- duplicate of the 140. Being on the agent might want to Gordon. You might they not going to come easy these different -- part is going to take. And you know -- see him get that 150 -- close to 150 I won't go out there at this point but. You know the Yankees are going to be I'd been -- going to be decided by quite a bit kinda."

" Let's get the Burnett lol. Who -- Yankees bidding against those that."

" Well maybe Lola the Mets for Juan the -- for another potentially the Tigers are much are they going to go there I think it low would like to go there. Burnett a lot of teams. Got both teams in the Washington area with the Orioles is well. You've got the Braves on Burnett you've got the Red Sox potentially on Burnett's. You know there's a lot of heavy burden had a great year but you know -- dusty did not work against the Yankees so there are obviously. Impressed. You know that they haven't as far as I know to this minute. Quite made the offer yet aren't low and Burnett but they will very shortly I believe and I think the other problem of favorites for Burnett as well."

" Let's get an immense K rod. I have a ceiling here and I heard you say it I've heard the same thing the Mets -- zeroing in on K rod now they think they can get them. And I think they'll go the fourth year to get them. Will that get the job done for the Mets I think the Mets -- zero and in -- I think they're going to go I think they're going to give on the fourth here."

" Yeah I think so I think that's the way it's going to momentum seems to be going that way originally were. Kind of turned off by the five and 75. Idea that was coming out of the can -- camp. But I think war and is pretty reasonably easily 26 years old addictive for for Wagner it's going to be argument may -- case. That a -- 26 should only get -- so I cannot see them again and debris. They they they do have been to instill in that there are a lot of good closers on this marked with an idiot abate in the playing the game anymore so they've lost hopman he's going elsewhere. You've got Kerry Wood out there -- got one data there and as for trade possibilities you've got a few guys that. Decent streak that was in the team that was it was an entry in the -- he's he's got Jenks. And you've got put so there's seven possibility that would only -- the Mets but. I think in mind there's one main possibility I think that is came right at this point I think for the Dayton did probably the second choice."

" I TV what's going to happen to him now."

" You know everybody and make something of -- fact the Braves -- pulling out a few days I think he's eventually going to go over the Braves the Braves to look at something creative but they're not going to -- when it's going to take. I've been -- about the prospects to do the deal people thought maybe -- should've done that deal I don't know whether it was Kevin towers. Or a permanent miracle or whoever decided not to do would put again Yunel Escobar and and potentially Charlie Morton pitching prospects. Or Jo-Jo Reyes and and Blaine Boyer reliever. I mean hit a lot of good players and had been -- mixed in. -- towers wanted -- the ball on he felt the -- the prospects to get it done and you know he definitely want the middle infielder I think he wants to trade the -- greens so everything would work out not quite sure. Why is still room but it do it and right now -- Kevin towers says that all parties back to square one that because he really did not like the Cubs prospects they do not have a deep organization and they trade nosy I think the one guy that you didn't like. He went to Kevin Gregg -- so -- I don't think they can make a deal with the Cubs straight up. Talented suggestion -- Olympic sports teams did it would be over the continent. A polite way of saying you got nothing Cubs -- doing so you know I don't -- quality -- what about -- but I have seen no evidence -- any -- contact. Between judgment towers and we're best friends I just don't see that happening I've talked about the actual number of times the agent for peavy peavy got a no trade. He really wants to stay in the National League does not want to go the American League Gabi -- the American League. The Yankees in the -- the two teams that haven't really been ripping maybe you know may be will consider but. And it's been suggested to me that you want to redo the deal so in other words you're gonna -- that sending away prospects and paying. You know free agent money for the guy anyway and so I think the Yankees are basically -- particular about peavy at this point."

" I'm Mike de France us on offense done payment -- and -- with us all hot stove time whenever he's got something he's -- the pop in anytime. And I'm sure there's some guys smile and John because although he can say here and doing things. And he says he'll be vindicated. Cubans baseball thing is over now that he has been accused of insider trading."

" Yeah I think -- people -- know and it's now coming out in I've learned. He just didn't have a bit that was -- have been and they looked into it now the money or is that just wasn't that. It's one or the other but he basically would not in the 45 names that I heard. We're in the running so he was already done and the Cubs. Participant. And now instead public you know this is only civil charge. Not a criminal charge but so it is not look good. And gives baseball you know more reason to put -- completely and I. You know they probably would never that comfortable with the idea Mark Cuban anyway he's been on the side of David stern befriended Bud Selig. You know if you didn't have this problem any bid the most I think is not much you can say and these economic times. It's Sam -- wants to sell the team -- ago bid the most and has really. No blemishes on the criticizing rivalries which could probably deserve and in many cases anyway I think baseball that -- note too but now he's got these he charged. He got doesn't have the high bid and frankly you now."

" It on the Red Sox seriously interested in Teixeira."

" Well -- people I talk to them kind of downplayed but I admire what I'm hearing is that they are they feel Youkilis can play anywhere they can move from anywhere on the -- selected from a number -- little -- does open looks like the four but you know -- can play anywhere it's you know maybe they'll look to make a deal what their -- players. Maybe they think Duke was completely left field and and become clear yet. I don't see how you do -- Youkilis to third and as equals contract I mean. I haven't been getting hit it any injury surgery and he's not going to be able to be traded but to just put them on the sideline and I think that's doubles. On at this point. But a big field you -- you know and moved to a corner outfield spot to I think so you know I think it's a very real possibility -- Angels still have secured the number one -- And you know he's still may want -- they're from driver. Is that you know the -- and that would be considered west coast. Except that he went -- social lobby experience and now he will considerate but that I'm not expecting to make a blow everybody out of the water offer so this is going to get very interest --"

" Now than anyone in America was a Sauna was -- that -- he can tell about Dustin Pedroia now because now this little run Tuesday. TT and if you wanted about a guy who can just get it done with true grit. Without any size if you want to tell a story about stats it doesn't matter how about Pedroia -- that it -- it has already did an amazing."

" that he swing for the fences I mean he's got a long -- if you could have -- instilled -- little guys to give -- to right field and it's grounded to keep the ball on the ground I mean he's got a big swing developed Rodriguez and he didn't make contact and you know you really can't argue too strenuously against that call that he."

" The wrong guy and he got a big he's got a -- knowledge of the as the accident and unfortunately they run deficit god but you know what you know ideas and amazingly tough player this kid I mean he's got a big dog the most pleasant. It would you have that."

" Size he can't do what you can't go to like John Franco he K you'd never make it you can't do it it's not freckles probably five foot eight or something like that a pitcher any. He did it and yeah I mean Scott Kazmir and a six you'll succeed and it."

" What does this -- I listen I would what they probably -- 59 or something ridiculous CE. He's got to be 55 -- 56."

" It's amazing to be in a Major League via MVP at that size it's unbelievable it really."

" Russell I mean the guy is you know I mean you know Eckstein got a big --"

" Yeah I and you gotta have a big -- play enemies of that size you gotta be special you have a special inside the play in the majors at their assignments."

" Intimate -- could be an MVP. I mean I have with Nellie fox and because I'd -- before -- and although he was reason real good player though -- really good with a 599. Might have been my that he might have been the million do you have Hollywood but don't let things up fairly and diminutive guy he was he was -- was only with the."

" No it was not use a big bat he choked up he was not -- on his great -- As a great -- great fielder but you're right he was a little guy but this guy is a peanut eats drinks and offenses he really does yes it is an amazing."

" I earned it and I think people would stick to I mean you can look lesson learned let's have a great seasons and they both did they really emotional played great third and even better first. You know the guy the guy's turn himself into an incredible -- Players while also -- do you think this first -- and the service now Lowell go and -- the other let me ask you this thing timer a year I don't -- I just want a Dempster was signed today."

" I need I need the first free agent the fall but there he has won his I would think though logically. They -- association really and they can't dictate this -- they'd -- orchestrated they want sabathia to be first because he raises all boats and they would like his -- to be far strike."

" You know I'm I think we're giving our people less credit than maybe even they deserve to think that since some apparent sabathia 150 million that means you have to pick somebody else a hundred million or eighty."

" But you know it doesn't hurt though it raises are both a little bit."

" Yeah I think what -- the players he wants possible that you become a Yankee and best of anything of that one -- and they want you know -- the timing isn't as important image that he becomes the early post I'd better which will be the which is that going to be the Yankees don't going to outbid them. So I mean that's what they want and very few guys that left -- having Greg Maddux with a rarity that turned down the Yankees for six million more but you know it's very."

" This is going to be allowed more than six million Mozilla with thank you and."

" but you know relatives twenty million tickets you know people are California that much you know I'm not going to rule out that he might -- he might go to somewhere there and I think the Yankees -- wise not to either and they understand."

" Now we still haven't got no word on the -- with China today you know I don't."

" You know what they're saying you know the Yankees are feeling a little more hopeful I think at this point since they can. A little longer than expected he told everybody on the way out that he's going to retire but there. That would be a big help with the if he came back because. You know they do."

" Get a guy that might still there -- still pretty early -- MI CLA and he made -- deal Independence Stadium and I'll be back --"

" I would say probably so because I do believe -- assigned to three between sabathia Burnett low so I would say that that might feel better it's -- I was going to have to pick cut anyway based on. The second half that he had last year and you know he would have a great spring training -- and -- was very good good job in the press conference that the Yankees would've liked to avoid this press conference to. So there wasn't a great year for -- to peddle all around but you know as a consolation prize used to but again I've been million."

" Well I would pose an interest in question and it's one would. -- and insisting on. If the Yankees closed the door on pennant would be signed with the --"

" You know I think -- go to Texas I think he you know he lives in Houston. Maybe Houston again but I think Texas efforts of rumblings that they might be interested you know I don't think the Rangers are going to be the old. Break the bank mold with inside the rod and -- 65 million dollar forced to pull plus the money down the toilet for general parker everyone put it. But I think they can get any better for ten or twelve million dollar that they don't -- jump on that. I don't know that. I don't know that and it's going to be met but yeah no doubt that would consider it yeah. Definitely have openings on the in the rotation with Oliver Perez being a free agent. You know right now we're kind of focused on the closer job -- need --"

" And Pedro wants to come back and Omar told me that they would talk to Pedro that they would have they would have interest at a certain level in Syria level was on the with a level is but it sounds like page -- would like to return to the Mets."

" Well it was -- coming back for somebody it -- yesterday and that's what he told me and he would like to come back to the Mets you know I'm not sure that there it's going to work with the Mets you know way. I think -- is very close would turn coups so that kind of say publicly that the -- done anything along those lines but. If I'm not saying that to get it almost lie either I am sure that some -- he would consider I think. More likely might be Florida something like that he's not going to get big bucks and multi year that he had to understand or. A lot of excuses a lot of turmoil in his life. There's sadness of this father passing away and obviously hamstring injury took a lot out of them and I I think. Pedro will be good signs for somebody but I think it's pretty for the back -- for the match."
