Scott BentleyHOST
Not certain, but in my eyes, I think it's very unlikely.
Scott BentleyHOST
The maybe list: Gilbert Diaz, Bo Brisky, Kyle Finnigan, Sawyer Gibson-Long, Bailey Horn, Burke Smith, Jacob Waguespack, Javy Báez, Brett Callahan, Corey Jolques, Zach McKinstry, one of Parker Meadows and Wencel Pérez, Brennan Hanafy, and then even super long shot Kerry Carpenter.
Scott BentleyHOST
That's 14 people.
Scott BentleyHOST
Now, before you freak out, f- like, again, these are all maybes.
Scott BentleyHOST
Kerry Carpenter, I think is gonna be back.
Scott BentleyHOST
I'm not saying he's not.
Scott BentleyHOST
Um, Zach McKinstry, the organization loves.
Scott BentleyHOST
Like, i- it wouldn't shock me if he was back, right? Like, this is, again, th- this is the toss-up list.
Kieran SteckleyHOST
yeah i i would i would say that he has definitely earned the 10 million i mean he's a 1.4 war guy uh what are you what yeah what are you getting what are you getting production and versatility wise on the market that doesn't that that costs you 10 million
Cody StavenhagenHOST
that's another one of these conversations and there are a lot of them out there right with Spencer Torkelson and Zach McKinstry and others.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
Like if you get rid of that guy, all you were trying to do is bring in another version of that
Robert SmigelADVERTISER
guy.
Alex UrbanHOST
All of these gentlemen have one Tiger King crown on the week.
Alex UrbanHOST
Kenley Jansen, Chef Reactions, Zach McKinstry, Scott Harris, Casey Mize, Ben Malgeri, Jack Flaherty, listener Travis.
Alex UrbanHOST
Uh, sorry Travis, I had my money on you this season.
Alex UrbanHOST
Uh, Connor Seabold, Colt Keith-
Greg PetersonHOST
Love the fact that Green has been able to give you 20 plus home runs, but the offense has been very inconsistent.
Greg PetersonHOST
Some of these guys like Zach McKinstry, Matt Vierling, Callahan at the bottom of the fold.
Greg PetersonHOST
They just haven't been able to give you a whole heck of a lot.
Greg PetersonHOST
Javi Baez just had a waste of a season this year.
Aaron GleemanHOST
It was the first one off an actual pitcher.
Aaron GleemanHOST
And since the one he hit off Zach McKinstry, who's a position player at Target Field a couple weeks ago.
Aaron GleemanHOST
he was in a one for 33 slump with 15 strikeouts.
Aaron GleemanHOST
Then he has three hits last night.
Scott BentleyHOST
What a parting gift from Al Avila.
Scott BentleyHOST
Zach McKinstry, um, kind of another guy that I just really don't think should have a prominent role on the team next year.
Scott BentleyHOST
If they are gonna bring him back again, I, I can somewhat stomach it because, like, lefty bat that runs the bases well and can play a lot of different positions a- and whatnot.
Scott BentleyHOST
But I am, again, I am so tired of Zach McKinstry being in the lineup every single day.
Scott BentleyHOST
It, it's just...
Scott BentleyHOST
It, it, it...
Cody StavenhagenHOST
Whereas Maljari, it's a little more unclear exactly what that's going to look like.
Kieran SteckleyHOST
Alright, what about Javi Baez and Zach McKinstry? Now, Baez, last year of his contract, the contract, McKinstry has had a classic McKinstry season where you feel good about it, you don't feel good about it, and then you turn around and And it's like, you know, you have to almost go by splits here with him because it's been so up and down.
Kieran SteckleyHOST
But the bottom line is not that great.
Kieran SteckleyHOST
But he's 31.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
Yeah, I think the answer is obviously McKinstry because Javi Baez is under contract and going to make a lot of money next year no matter what.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
McKinstry...
Cody StavenhagenHOST
Classic Zach McKinstry.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
Where does he fit? Does he still have a role? Hasn't really been very good for the totality of this season, but man, he still does some things you like.
Anthony BellinoHOST
So I like that.
Anthony BellinoHOST
Zach McKinstry.
Anthony BellinoHOST
0 for 2, 0s across the board.
Anthony BellinoHOST
That was rough.
Zack PierceHOST
And on Wednesday, Thursday in Anaheim Walker Jenkins promptly said worry about this with a three for four day two singles and most notably a two run homer in the top of the ninth off an actual pitcher this time to tie the game twins obviously lost in extra innings late Thursday night but that's sort of.
Zack PierceHOST
secondary at this point with the season all but officially over a huge moment for Jenkins obviously he had struggled mightily we were we were laughing weeks ago when he hit that homer off Zach McKinstry the position player for the Tigers about and so is he so is the team like oh you know like a weird way to get your first one but it's the first of many there's going to be a ton more and in the time since it was looking like well I don't know maybe maybe not so much Dan but maybe no more Yeah, but to not only hit one off of actual pitcher in a game, but to do it in that spot with the game on the line to give his team a chance to win, you couldn't ask for a better breakout than that.
Dan HayesHOST
His confidence, I know I went on about it the other day, really stood out.
Dan HayesHOST
Just the fact that he thought he was going to solve it, that he knew he was going to solve it, that it was just a blip on the radar.
Mike WilnerHOST
In fact, he's throwing a perfect game.
Mike WilnerHOST
But he walks Zach McKinstry with one out in the sixth to snap the perfect game bid and then gives up a fly out to Howie Lee, the first ball hit out of the infield.
Mike WilnerHOST
But he gets through the sixth with the no-hitter intact and the Blue Jays leading two to nothing.
Mike WilnerHOST
But the Jays went one for nine with runners in scoring position over the first three innings.
