| 0:00.0 | Mr. John Heyman, hello, sir. |
| 0:01.8 | Hello, how are you guys doing? |
| 0:03.5 | Well, we've, listen, everything's broken here. I apologize for... That's okay. Same here, too. That's all right. So you've written, and it's all about it done, it's all pretty much done. Todd Frazier, you believe, is coming to the Red So. Well, not quite. No, I didn't say that. They are scouting Frazier. they are looking at several guys as well. |
| 0:24.2 | I do think Well, not quite. No, I didn't say that. They are scouting Frazier. |
| 0:21.8 | They are looking at several guys as well. |
| 0:24.1 | I do think they like Jed Lowry, the former Red Sox player, |
| 0:28.9 | and you've got a few others on the horizon as well. |
| 0:32.0 | Solarte is another guy they looked at. |
| 0:34.2 | I think Prado is further down the list. |
| 0:35.9 | I think that the most likely one, I would say that, would be Frazier for the Red Sox. |
| 0:42.0 | All right. And Frazier, not a great average, but hits for a lot of power. |
| 0:46.6 | What would make him more appealing to the Red Sox than other options? |
| 0:51.2 | Well, I think he would fit the ballpark. The Green Monster would be very good. |
| 0:56.4 | Certainly a power hitter, a pull hitter. He's kept that power going with the White Sox, |
| 1:01.7 | but the batting average has dipped the last couple years. I do think he would like to come. |
| 1:07.6 | He is from New Jersey, would like to play in the Northeast. He hasn't done that yet. |
| 1:11.2 | He's been in the Midwest this whole career. So my understanding is he would really love to be a Red Sock, and you never know that can't hurt, I guess. All right. What would it take to get him? Because I believe he has one year left on his deal. Yeah. No, this is it. Yes, you're right. This is the last year. so he's got around $5.5 million to go. |
| 1:29.2 | I don't think it would Yes, you're right. This is the last year, so he's got around $5.5 million to go. |
| 1:29.2 | I don't think it would take much at this point. Either got to pay the money or give a middling-type prospect. |
| 1:37.1 | He's not having a big year overall. As I said, the average is dipped. So I think it's kind of a bargain thing at this point. |
| 1:45.9 | It would take a lot more to get, let's say, a salarte from the Padres, |
