| 0:00.0 | Hour number two of the sports junkies, |
| 0:06.1 | Toby Altizer, Ben Strober sitting in for the guys today, |
| 0:09.8 | 800636-106-7 if you'd like to hop in with us. |
| 0:13.7 | I've been talking about the Washington Nationals, |
| 0:16.0 | took two of three over the weekend from the Atlanta Braves. |
| 0:19.9 | Now they head to Cleveland for a three-game series on Parade Watch for Grant and Danny. |
| 0:25.2 | They're at 500. |
| 0:26.2 | They win today. |
| 0:26.9 | We'll have a parade tomorrow. |
| 0:28.0 | So keep an eye on the Nats tonight. |
| 0:31.3 | So before we went to break, we were talking about C.J. Abrams and potentially a trade for him, |
| 1:12.4 | is that the right move if the nationals were to go that direction, 800, 636, 1067? Real quick strobes, I want to throw out three teams that I came up with. Just look, and I think he'd be the bell of the ball if that were to be the case and he were to be available at the trade deadline. I think the biggest name that would be available potentially would be Terek Scoobel. The Tigers are 12 games under 500. If he can come back and pitch at least a couple of times before the trade deadline, he'd be the number one guy. But in terms of hitters, I think it probably would be CJ just because of the way that he's hitting and the years of control that he has left. So the three teams I came up with and there would be others in the sweepstakes, I'm 100% sure of that. But Cleveland would be |
| 1:17.9 | interesting because that's a team that's right now at the top of their division and their |
| 1:21.7 | lights at the shortstop position, although they have one of their top prospects at the shortstop |
| 1:26.9 | position. But Brian Rokio's been playing shortstop for them, and he's not really been all that great for them. Milwaukee is a team that isn't getting a lot from their shortstop position either, and that's a team that understanding you could get a guy for three post seasons, two full seasons. Maybe you make a move, Joey Ortiz, not getting it done at the plate, |
| 1:44.8 | and they're good defensively, so maybe they can overcome some of CJ's defensive shortcomings, |
| 1:49.5 | and then a big market team that could be interested that needs a shortstop, New York Yankees, |
| 1:55.8 | because Anthony Volpe is not cutting it. Jose Caballero's been playing. He's fine, nothing special. |
| 2:02.5 | You add him into that lineup, especially with a short porch and right. |
| 2:05.6 | I think that's something that they can consider. |
| 2:07.8 | So I think there will be plenty of people interested in getting CJ if that does become a possibility they would trade him. |
| 2:14.4 | Milwaukee is interesting to me that you bring him up because they have the number one ranked shortstop in prospect term in all of baseball right now. Is it Jesus, is it made or |
