All right, so we're talking to Evan Petzel.

0:01.7

He was on with the morning show talking about the Tigers and what they're going to do next.

0:07.1

And it looks like nothing.

0:09.8

Looks like it's going to be the same as last year.

0:12.9

And if that's the case, how are you feeling about that?

0:16.2

2, 4, 8, 539, 9, 797.

0:18.8

Because to me, you're not taking advantage of having a once inifetime pitcher here. I thought you were going to build around him and then let him walk. I get it. Oops. You push your chips all in. It doesn't work. You try for a World Series, but you're not going to pay him $400 million. but now you're just not going to pay him $400 million nor are you going to pay anybody else

0:39.5

anything else except for peanuts and ham sandwich. but you're not going to pay him $400 million. But now you're just not going to pay him $400 million,

0:38.3

nor are you going to pay anybody else, anything else, except for peanuts and ham sandwiches. So it's really about your response to it. And Danny and Utica's batting off today. Dee, what's going on, buddy? Fellas, how we doing? Good, Danny. Good to talk to you again. What's going on? man why why is it that every single GM in the city is just purely scared of their own shadow?

0:58.1

That's the way I look at it.

0:59.0

And especially at the bottom of the podium poll, in my opinion, is Scott Harris.

1:02.8

He reminds me of the GM character of the Jaguars and draft day.

1:08.2

Can't even fumble around to make a decision on who he wants to draft and he's just scared and in shambles and needs another GM to push him in the right direction. I mean, last year or whatever was two years, the trade deadline, he fumbled that. He doesn't know, he seems indecisive, doesn't know what he wants and just comes from, you know, the franchises that just want to see, hey, let's, let's watch the kids grow, and that's what's going to be the promise land, and sells the fans on false hopes and dreams, when at the end of the day, you don't have a pennant, you didn't win the division, we make the playoffs, and then we go out in dramatic fashion. At the end of the day, what are we left with? Absolutely nothing. and now someone who's best picture on the planet back-to-back side young award winners and you don't know how to handle

1:47.6

the situation, then why are you employed? And it's because, in my opinion, and I don't know why,

1:52.9

it's, you got outside of Eiserman, you got three guys in this, in this, uh, in this city that are

1:58.7

basically so risk-averse, first time at being a general manager and they

2:04.3

want to be safe and they want to keep their jobs and they want to do the conservative thinking and

2:08.7

the conservative deals to be done so that they look like they're trying but at the end of the day

2:13.5

what it won't the last time we had a title in the city right what i mean I mean? But see, Danny, let me say this, though, too. When you start to talk about it in those terms, you're right with everything you're saying, you also have to blame ownership. Ownership has to be willing to die for a championship. Because at some point, the owner has to go to the GM and go put the gas pedal down let's go

2:34.8

a thousand percent and I'll give trade in Langdon the uh the longest uh runway because

2:40.8

he's still the newest and this will be his biggest year and I was asking Kenny on a scale

2:45.4

of one to 10 one being the most less riskiest GM of law or of risk averse and 10 being, you know,
