Tad PowersHOST
That was one of the nastiest left-handers to ever come out of the bullpen.

This young Carter Jensen, he grew up watching you play.

You were his hero.

I talk a lot about him.
Salvador PerezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I wish him the best and I know he's going to be the best in this game.
Tad PowersHOST
From mentor to prodigy, Salvador Perez to Carter Jensen.
Tad PowersHOST
Absolutely.
Jack JohnsonHOST
But I would say the new bat hits fourth, Garcia hits fifth, and then you're looking at maybe Vinny Pasquantino hitting sixth.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Salvador Perez is just not going to be an everyday player, in my opinion.
Jack JohnsonHOST
So no, I would say it's not likely those guys are going to be hitting fourth and fifth.
Jack JohnsonHOST
I believe there's a better chance that Mikel Garcia would hit fourth over Vinny Pasquantino or Salvador Perez.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Next one's coming from Bob.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Will Bobby and Gomez ever play together? It's still so early to say on Anibal Gomez.
18 MINS LATER
Jack JohnsonHOST
So, yeah, I think there's been some...
Jack JohnsonHOST
Injury frustrations between both the Royals and Chiefs over the last 365 days.
Jesse FriedmanHOST
Admittedly, I haven't studied the Royals extensively, but it feels like they're a type of team that really values continuity for better or worse.
Jesse FriedmanHOST
I mean, Salvador Perez is still a Kansas City Royal.
Jesse FriedmanHOST
And, you know, Michael Waka and Seth Lugo, like there's been a lot of trade rumors with those guys the past few years, but they're both still with Kansas City as well.
Jesse FriedmanHOST
Bobby Wood Jr., of course.

Soren PetroHOST
Not if they're going to win.
Soren PetroHOST
Salvador Perez is the next George Brett.
Soren PetroHOST
Look what you went through.
Jeff PassanGUEST
But, Saran, that also, I mean, if you look at Churrio, like, he was the best prospect in baseball when he debuted, and he signed a long-term contract.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
They manufactured runs.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
They had players who they kept on the team and they built up through good trades like bringing in, uh, Lorenzo Cain and also developing the likes of Eric Hosmer and be able to-- And, you know, with Salvador Perez coming over, you know, you're able to put together a team and have them play good defense, play smart baseball and, and use a speed game and play baseball intelligently.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Maybe that's the stargate.
Paul Francis SullivanHOST
Maybe that's the Rubik's cube.
Jack JohnsonHOST
If you wanted to say, well, they can DH Vinny more, sure, sure, that's possible.
Jack JohnsonHOST
They all seem to figure out what they want to do with Salvador Perez.
Jack JohnsonHOST
They also need to add a couple of bats, and we've seen with Matt Quattrero since taking over, he doesn't pigeonhole guys into one spot, and that's how it's going to be.
Jack JohnsonHOST
So even if you did want to move Jack Caglione and he wanted to play first base all the time, well, they're not just going to make Vinny a DH only.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
That's 10 years, 140.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST

CJ BaumgartnerHOST
Victor Caratini made $7 million as the team's backup catcher.
Joel PenfieldHOST
He's had a bunch of just wear and tear on his body.
Joel PenfieldHOST
If you want to maximize the last year of Salvador Perez as a guy in your lineup, I don't think he should catch.
Joel PenfieldHOST
Let him DH.
Joel PenfieldHOST
Let him first bait.
Coach TooGUEST
doesn't even make my top 20, but that's okay.
Coach TooGUEST
