Lorenzo Cain

I think it has next to zero impact on what's about to happen.

In the same way how he handled Lorenzo Cain had no bearing on Juan Soto.

And finally...

David probably has his own ideas on how wise it is to sign a pitcher for that amount of money at that age.

Okay.

Lorenzo Cain, pitch hit for him, and Mike Moustakas came in later.

I was going to guess Moustakas.

Remember when they played Moustakas at second? I remember very well.

This was a so, like, before they changed the rules of baseball to speed up games kind of game.

Travis Shaw starts at third.

Lorenzo Cain pinch hits for him.

Moustakas goes into play third, and then they pinch hit Perez for him.

This is a very specific set of circumstances to where how he handled Corbin Burns and Brandon Woodruff back in the day.

I think it has next to zero impact on what's about to happen in the same way that How he handled Lorenzo Cain had no bearing on Juan Soto.

These are just completely different worlds.

So I think that.

On the 11th, he's man about town because every day he's going to have at least one new signing.

Because on October the 11th, he's going to have former Kansas City Royal and Milwaukee Brewer Lorenzo Cain starting at $25 per item.

The next day on the 12th, he is going to have former Dodger, Met...

Those are the two that I really remember.

Brett Tomko will round out this list at $15 per item as well.

So that is Casimir and Arojo on the 8th.

That is Alex Avila on the 9th, Matt Joyce the 10th, Lorenzo Cain on the 11th, Paul LaDuca and Drew Butera on the 12th, Kevin Ploiecki on the 13th, Steve Sischick on the 17th, and Brett Tomko on the 19th.

So our good friend Michael is definitely getting these frequent flyer miles in.

He was a very valued member of the front office.

He was a big reason, if you go back to 2015, when Lorenzo Cain scored from first to home, like he was one of the masterminds in doing the advanced scouting that Jose Bautista was going to throw to second base.

which the Royals knew that in any spot like that, they were going to try to gamble with a fast runner if there was a ball down the line.

And that's what won the Royals the game and the series back in 2015.

You also have to be smart about these moves.

Do you see Carter Jensen being a big time piece of your team five years from now? And that's why in the past, when we've seen the Royals not give out extensions, we say, well, I can't believe they didn't do that.

I can't believe they didn't give Lorenzo Cain a true extension.

They let the Brewers pay for him.

it's not sports or leisure correct that's right uh nine one three three eight ten eight ten is the phone number um you guys are so young

Is it like Wade Davis and Lorenzo Cain? It's got to be Cole Reagans and Bobby Witt.

Did Reagans not get Pitch of the Month?

That's not a bad one, though.

It should come from the guys who were in their third, fourth, fifth season who haven't put it all together that eventually figure it out.

kind of like what happened with Lorenzo Cain, for example.

We were around during those days.

I know it's a cross-sport comparison, but Lorenzo Cain always had the ability but just couldn't really stay healthy.

And you know what happened over a three-year stretch? Lorenzo Cain magically figured it out, and the power got there, and he stayed consistent.

He showed you what he could be as a defensive player.

Same thing with Eric Hosmer.

Yeah.

Kinda like, kinda like 2015 Lorenzo Cain to some degree.

Like- Yeah.

Yeah.

Look,

I'm Lorenzo Cain.

Who's that? You've got to do that.

That would be the coolest thing ever to put an ice skating rink out there and do it for the holidays.
