Home Run Derby // Duke vs. Arizona // All-Star Game Preview

This is that the Adam goals you have financial advisory through capital financial USA.com. This is the Adam Gold show guy GRA HAM not a) over the last so you're sitting in for Dennis.

Dennis is on his way to Charlotte to get everybody set up for ACC football media days which starts tomorrow we will be there tomorrow and I think everything will stay the same. You can even watch is on TV I believe is the plan right so will be on a WR ale sports plus you can watch us right now at your local to the Raleigh market. You can watch as an spectrum channel 1257 over the year 34.1 android Apple Roku and fire today. I think all of those I think you get dentists on all those platforms. Also WR ale sports for duck up a lot of stuff going on today will talk a little baseball talk a little August homerun derby last night was amazing again as it was amazing for a lot of reasons. Coming great. The one soda wins but it was amazing for other reasons. Did you watch Homer derby last longer to get. I was at work last night so I was, going back and forth between TVs. I just know that 1.1 set it hit the home run and it landed in the hammock and the apartment building on the other side of the stadium and all the fans were looking because nobody came out there initially and then all of a sudden this little kid just runs out there and the crowd goes crazy. I guess he was watching on TV and realize I hey, that's my apartment on. That's my hammock, so he ran out there grabbed the baseball good feel-good moment.

Very good. Getting were watching bachelorettes or whatever is a bachelor bachelor none. And I was not watching the bachelorette. I was watching the other scripted format a little bit of money, not role member Dennis, saying you guys had a discussion on that yesterday.

I don't remember. I don't look it's wrestling is not my thing.

When I was a child. Wrestling was my thing I noticed I don't.

Dennis is not here. You try to steer clear of Dataview conversations that's that's all they want to get into today about that okay some wrestlers that was not my thing that's fun like I think we all could we should occasionally watch cartoons and rest just again Star Wars Star Wars you know cinematic epic will do that. So we got a lot of things to do that we are headed will do a lot of football as well because SEC media days is also kind of triggered some news some comments from Nick Sabin, Greg Sankey and others. Let's start this week from Juan Soto of the Washington nationals only Tuesday really has been incredible. One of the best players in major league baseball. He is 23 years old. His organization is publicly meristem with a contract offer that he has to turn down.

I don't know why teams do this met mentioned this yesterday all you're doing by offering them a lowball contract which is what they did.

All you're doing is getting the general public to think man this greedy SOP is turning down $440 million, I'd play for free which you wouldn't but I get it. This is the way people process.

It turned out board and 40 million because it's anywhere from $60-$100 million below market value. That's why that's what anyway and the nationals do this they know what the market is now they know what the markets going to be in five years. Juan Soto was a great player. Glad that he got a chance to win. And now the nationals also let it known that they're going to trade him. I don't think they'll be able to trade him.

I bought they could.

They wanted to traded before the trade deadline which is coming up in August but very like this. First or second of August but I did make it. Give it a go and then he goes out last night and he wins.

Home run Derby that I care nationals will bring a backflip is backflips ago that the battery came down very good luck.

He's not the first Dominican player to win the derby and I think there was a great Dominican influence last night. There have been several Dominicans to win one of them including David Ortiz, but it is a big deal to a baseball mad country that will be for three guys I know old people are really proud of living. Thank you to all these and they been prior for all these since we all three wearing a plague in the finals. Three Dominicans he just showed you. It was a win for the DR so we feel pretty proud about that. No question. Albert Holtz was in the semifinals and this is where I get to the point with which we never do I never do because there are so few reasons to do it. Major league baseball doesn't do a lot of things correctly. I don't but starting the tradition. Hopefully it continues of bringing legends to the All-Star game for one last hurrah is a great way to connect the past to the present to the future and we sort that in the home run Derby last night the future will just say Julio Rodriguez from Seattle is a show. Seattle has another rookie Rodriguez, who is off the charts. Remember Alex Rodriguez broke into the big leagues with Seattle. Steve got that the present could be our champion, Juan Soto or Ronald or can you Junior or Queen Pete Alonso right and in the past. Albert pools who actually won around.

I mean he didn't kill it, but he won the round and that gave everybody another chance to see Albert pools and here is the essentially the winning homerun can have 13 homeruns in basically four minutes of hitting, not a lot. It wouldn't of one. Any other route Cory Sigrid 24 home runs and lost because I believe in that ran the first round. Julio Rodriguez hit like 36 is just insane. Julio Rodriguez is a show like I don't want Soto one and in many cases, you know the guy who wins. Home run Derby isn't the show. I got Julio Rodriguez was the show last night Juan Soto, one home run Derby gets a million bucks.

It's a million bucks. Pete Alonso, one home run Derby two-year zero and $1 million each time and each time it represented essentially a doubling of his salary when you're in your first year in the big leagues you making like $560,000.

Again, we don't we don't accept that play baseball people, not really, but pretty good chunk object that is doubling doubling your salary but it was cool to see all the players just paying their respects to a guy like pools and I don't want to leave at Miguel Cabrera who is the American leagues honorary all stories also go into the Hall of Fame, but pools is as great as Mickey was pools is in a different category of superstar just to me is a separate entity, but Mickey is also go to the Hall of Fame. One of the greats. Maybe the greatest Venezuelan player of all time. But here's the thing with with pools that I liked and I don't know that this was the plan all along, but because he's with the Cardinals. The wears a Cardinals jersey. It would've been a lot different if pools was still with the Angels or the deep played with the Dodgers last sure what that is with the card so you get a chance to see one of the greatest ever birds on bats uniform, which is still like everybody understands you listen to this program before I hate the Cardinals the only team I hate other than the Yankees, but they have one of the best jerseys in the sport birds on bats just awesome. It's good to see pools in that uniform in All-Star game because he's done after this year without Cabrera's got to be done to, but Eddie didn't participate in home run Derby last night was cool to see pools, just get through to the next round. Gabe Everett like in the six there was such a Dominican flare. Such a Latin flair to what was the home run Derby just it was awesome. Was fun to watch. It's the most intriguing skills competition even though it's one skip just matching the ball one skip so good for them and good for Albert pools are, let's let's get back to college football, the king has spoken Greg Sankey grand Pool bar of the SEC gave his State of the SEC address state of their kingdom is strong. According to Greg Sankey so he was asked by CBSSports has the SEC and Big Ten separated themselves and he responded that there are others that will comment on that. I don't want to talk about ourselves. I will talk about us. Let's let you talk about us, that's very funny on.

First of all, those two leagues have separated themselves financially significantly so. Over the last 5 to 10 years. The gap is already been wide financial, the SEC has been the best football league by a substantial margin for 15 years for 15 years. The SEC win win the BCS had two teams.

The last time the SEC didn't have a team in the BCS and the in the championship games but BCS just we just got it down to was the year Auburn went undefeated but Oklahoma and USC were also undefeated. We had an unbeaten SEC team not in the book, not of the championship game is last on the SEC was not included in the play in the playoffs. Central so like this is not new. This is been the dominant league for since 2004 and probably before that is not even but it's cool that everybody's just you know turning out their pockets and you see all the dollars that's really what this with this is Sankey went on to say this, the reality is, there will be two conferences at the FBS level with 16 teams that have competed consistently at the highest level that's a new dynamic that's half true. After because I like you said about the SEC they compete at a higher level than the rest of college football. They have more more teams who have recently been either national champions or legitimately kicked at that door so me just in recent memory of that have Alabama LSU and Georgia right but you don't have to go back that far. Where Florida was national champion. You know, year in and year out.

You know national championship contender year in and year out, you know, back in the early days of the BCS Tennessee. Tennessee won the first BCS championship so nobody is disputing 10 on the other hand, different than any other league except not the bottom line when you get to the bottom of the ledger accounts receivable by the Big Ten is actually better than the SEC, but they're not necessarily better on the field, which is intellectually dishonest. Here's Peter.

Birds of the SEC network thinking kind of thinking ahead about the potential for the SEC to get big.

I thought a little while but especially early in the morning. We came on and they look the last couple weeks we received a lot of phone calls but he was very quick to point out that there are no go right there in the Claiborne police rate national championship to three different team on 12 out of last 16 title in and in.

It's almost as if he old and I think rightly so all that that everyone is making moves to try to get to the point where the while they are a leader in ways on the field. They don't like to get out of their comfort zone to make a change. Capital financial advisory group.

We are talking retirement coach.

Let's say you have more than $1 million balance in my 401(k) revelation special permit connect actually come back and bite me because this is something that we did we get the Mirage received the Rogers of the desert before you see what's what. Her head was not there when your financial garage is thinking that that total balance in your 401(k) or IRA is yours.

We have two people to want to get a hold of the two uncles uncle North Carolina and Uncle Sam both of you to do some damage to the balance depending on what kind of other income you have lose 40% of your value. So if you're looking at a million-dollar IRA Vegas we were 6000 you. So how do we get around is what you'll get around it could end up in jail to try to do what you can do tax planning to minimize the effect of taxation into the future. The text train is coming out and we need to make sure to minimize the effect of the derailment of a financial accountant for the next 10 people will do the no-cost relegation put together your very own tax and retirement plan 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000 for coach beetroot and are not going to because it's only about money, and there are so few schools they can add that add to the money mean Notre Dame is not going to join the SEC any time if Notre Dame joins the league and I mean they might not, for a significant period of time. If Notre Dame joins a living. I know what the contract says contractually obligated for that lead to be the ACC so possible. Everybody just ignores that part of the contract with Notre Dame, which I guess you can since we have decided that we were knocking to pay attention any contracts, what would that we were discussing these things, but most people think that if Notre Dame is interested in joining the league down the road that it will be the Big Ten for proximity. Okay, that's fine. I don't really care but there's nobody for the SEC to add unless there's those schools are coming from the ACC and there's that grant of rights thing that gets in the way that I read.

There's a I thought a pretty good piece by Pete family on ESPN.com today that quotes a an administrator in the ACC that says not a lot of wiggle room with the grant rights.

So if that holds up legally and again so I'm sure somebody will challenge what if it holds up legally and nobody going anywhere until 2036 or at least until we get closer to 2036 when you can't go eight years without media revenue because remember, that's what grant of rights, says grant of rights doesn't give what the ACC would pan out. Leave to the ACC it. It takes what you earn in your new home and grants that to the ACC wax cost prohibitive.

If you're moving to the Big Ten of the SEC and you can make $100 million a year. Nobody wants to give that up. Nobody wants to get nothing.

So the grant of rights if if it stands up if it holds up, does appear that that's it is a good chance of holding up then that will keep the ACC together for my guess is at least another five, six, seven years at least. Then maybe schools will try to challenge it or buy their way out of it.

Who knows the exit fee is also cost prohibitive at hundred and 20. That's a big that's a big exit thing that that's the number I said I read from Pete them.

I think it might be a little lower but if you just use that.

That's that's a pretty big, that's a pretty big number so there's there's just no way the that there's nobody to add for the SEC, Oregon and Washington don't move the needle enough and so why had anybody at that point, the SEC should just stay where they are, they'll have to get stronger there already. The strongest Sanskrit sink with the greatest football conference in Eno met man is ever created and I are you as it is this so many good teams in there.

Also this was pointed out on twitter.

We could talk about somebody's gonna lose. So I am interested in the dynamic. When Texas plays a handful years in the SEC and I mean form for three and 553 and those people lose their minds lose their minds fun. Really fun to watch how all of that plays out by way Notre Dame is trying to hammer out a new contract with NBC that will guarantee at $75 million annually and the plan is to rake in that kind of cash so there is not an economic reason to join a conference. Now I would. This is where I would point out that Notre Dame has been leaving money on the table for years.

They could always have made more money they would make more money today if they called Jim Phillips and said we wanted Notre Dame would make more money significantly so. But they have consistently left that money on the table for their culture, which I respect the but if they if they get a $75 million annual hip from NBC then they'll probably end up being very close to whatever the Big Ten and the SEC money ultimately ends up at and there we zero reason financially for them to jointly then and this is what I've always said competitively speaking. I think the league is in their future competitively speaking out one finger executive talk about was the expanding to 12 playoff teams and he talked about it from a from the standpoint of having no automatic qualifiers that interesting and can I just say I think that's the best way to do it. I do II don't believe there should be automatic qualifiers in a college football player. No matter how many teams are it does. I think 12 is probably the max, even if it is 16 I just want the best teams. If that's the case, I said this when the window playoff expanded the four I don't care if all four teams are from the SEC don't care do not Carol just if we having a playoff and we have this few teams in it and it is for as few purple for playoff purposes, then we should do everything we can have the four best teams we should have before.

Best teams we should have blank automatic qualifiers because that I get knows the best teams. If the ACC let's see if you expand eight and we we still have five conferences when we expand eight.

We won't let you say we do if you had if you guarantee five teams in one of the 12 or ACC or big 12 champions have three losses for a playoff arts fair once college football what is college sports been fair. Kaman gets get over it.

Best teams I don't care how many teams make the playoff.

We don't need automatic qualifiers.

We all know who's good and we all knows that I will liken this to Little League baseball. The biggest misconception for Little League baseball is that the players will feel bad if they are not selected for let's say an all-star team. Guess what the players know better than the parents. The players don't have a problem with they want they think the best player should go if they think they're one of the best players will probably get selected. The kids know they know they all know if they're good or not we are to stop protecting the art will one final thing and we are going to probably speak about this a little bit later on Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported yesterday to David Verdi is leaving NBC and going to work for live golf. This is actually a bigger deal then 85% of the players who are playing the lives years. I think it's a way bigger deal than most of the players were playing on that because if we could play a game of spot the live tour player. I think most of you would get it wrong if I gave you two players if I gave you a player and then tennis tennis player or a ping-pong player or a cricketer you would like. I don't even know. I don't know.

I don't know either of those players are most of the live tour players are anonymous. If they're not aged like Graham McDowell, but fairly gives them a name, a legit name to sell to potential TV execs remember there still not on television you're still watching it on on your computer on your phone on YouTube is still doing that which some people did they have averaged about 80,000 streams per round. They've had six rounds 80,000 streams, they've averaged I guess that's good for something that really has no TV recognition but even the bad PGA Tour events get a million viewers a day. June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became the 25th anniversary of the move presented by the Company of North Carolina. Listen now my thought so that's not a lot but is not insignificant, but fairly gives them credibility in that regard. So like to me that was a significant thing to be way more significant than if Henrik Stenson eventually joins little talk about this later in the program and I would just ask. This is Charles Barkley next, wait, wait, what yes is Charles Barkley. Next, I will make you back. Stephen Wiseman of the news and Observer. He covers Duke we might talk a little football does will see them tomorrow in Charlotte but Duke basketball is agreeing to do something they have not done in a long time and grandma the new guy sitting in got a late start. I wonder if he will be in place by 145 Lazar Betz.

You might be asked to place bets for for Dennis Graham that your cable event on the book enough content of excellent excellent work yet.

Yesterday I got the email that was yesterday that Duke is going to do something that they have not done in a long time think it's as long as people think. But I know how the narrative.

You know, sounds from certain segments of the will just say fan base. Stephen Wiseman covers Duke for the news and Observer talk football at some point. Maybe today.

Certainly this weekend or this week. He joins us on the atom gold show. I teased it is much as I could. Stephen tell tell the people what Duke is going to do under John Shire that they are popularly accused of never doing their play nonconference game on opponents home court and and I gonna bring that team to Cameron to beef up the home schedule which is usually filled with lesser clustering of Division I home fantasy so it's a change in in two ways is the coach K, got away from particularly playing on opponents home court emissions will have on its business.

I did this let me latest regularly and even 90s yet.

Remember, no Christian later lookouts go to play shack on a Sunday in Baton Rouge in February, but you left, not only did it was with a plate. Let's exclude obviously the ACC peaked in Charlotte right and the St. John series rightly play St. John's in the garden so duplex point guard. That's a home game played at Georgetown rightly eyes the second camera so they play Georgetown in 2010, up in DC. They lost a game to remember and I was a championship team here, but that's the last time I found that they play like another no name brand power level your Big East team became whatever on the road and in that situation.

So John Shire is one of the first infusion John Jackson that the S-4 administrator new talked about was this something is interested in doing and how they got there deal with Arizona this week. Very cool home and all the course doesn't start. It doesn't take place this year and the home or the road game is in the second year of the two-year deal so we have to wait on November 2024.

Before that happens I guess were not counting the game at UNLV in November 2016 visits because UNLV was invented UNLV so that's just even the why they played that game it was.

It is the first college event plated T-Mobile arena.

I was there. You yeah Duke one handling.

So yeah, it was that was not obviously not a very good unit of eating all rail that was employed at Thomas and Mack. It was played at T-Mobile arena. Is it just me, Stephen Wiseman covers Duke is it just me or has that been more for the fact that Duke hasn't played true road nonconference games that are not Big Ten ACC challenge and affiliated has really been to me is not really a thing is completely immaterial and I think it probably means more to your home schedule to have a team like that come in so you will have basically one of those every year the ACC Big Ten challenge game and or you'll have that they should do that for your home schedule, but I don't think it really matters, playing road games within the league or outside the league because when you get to the NCAA tournament.

None of them are road games corrector.

All neutral reports from time to have a lot of fanfare, but yet it is on a neutral court.

So that's always been the point of that. I've always thought of you.

That makes sense to me why. Why put yourself in that situation. If you want to particularly you know the way, Duke has built his teams over the last 10 years or so.

Rector always freshman dominated so you want take that group maybe somewhat fragile or talented but there always right so you want take them into an overkill center in November chart if he wants to.

So it's good for him status was enough to do that anymore.

But yeah III think that's why missed it when I took the early we talked about this was this also helps the home for there was some complaints from home fans get to write a me to pay money for the season-ticket diversity in no all due respect to know Appalachia and the Gardner Webb people like that covenant right Stefan, but you'd rather pay that money and see Arizona command so that others can better take care of the problem to yet like it there.

Their home schedule has left a lot to be desired. They look they play a lot of exempt tournaments and the player looks a very good nonconference schedule, but most of those games are on neutral courts and I get if I was buying season tickets and there's not enough in a high caliber games even within your league because the leagues are so big and pretty much half the league is okay to worse and so mean to pit draw isn't such a great draw even though we all love to see Jeff Capel picked up it doesn't really move the needle arts the wise and let me ask you this question. I don't know if you saw the video of the like to hug highlight cut up of recent scrimmage that they had. They look pretty talented. Even though I recognize one player on the court in Jeremy roach. They look like they might have some talent here was the only guy we will recognize this writer time where scorecard Adam that's the way goes right but you know that they are tall, dark, lively 71 counsel Kathy is 611 right knee on the came from Northwestern.

The transfer is six and so I can when you got you got a big group there. You got to experience the other of your tall team. Again, me? They had Mark Williamson and Carol somewhat wanted to extend their so and then you got, you know Whitehead freshman Dirk Whitehead on the perimeter be having dinner.

Jeremy roach is the guy that has the experience of me still be the captain right because he's only got back, but yeah they think they'll be no cheap looking fever.

All I really want to compete for a college basketball again.

We sensitively are yet we knew coach entirely new teams. I was watching that I was, so I swore that somebody called the charge and I couldn't. I was appalled. I was appalled that somebody might call the charge, but my my sources, my source told me that a charge was not called.

But man I'm almost certain that I saw one Stephen Watts like I didn't see one fists there is no such thing as a charge in my book the Wiseman from the news and Observer joins us real quick about about football. What what are your expectations about what's good at what's going to be discussed and come out of the next couple of days. Well, you know, nobody some football talk again but the majority of all this is your work is conference going and what you what You can ignore the elephant in order to write their and meal tomorrow morning. Jim Phillips talks about 930 again so that will be the first thing we'll see what he have to say that without take it from there. Elaborate coach of the Dallas County asked about it might normally force a on Thursday cursed of all the new diet at the Miami to the schools that are, that would be approached by other legs right and know what to what her thoughts on how they deal with it when they're hurting you know since this move happened. So the calendar and UCLA.

These coaches are being asked about the stuff we keep you careful syndicates play football because unlike basketball there to stay for three or four years right things to be changing the future so that will be.

That's good. We talked about I would say you know 7080% of the conversation I have about that love is a little bit of you who might win the league this year late for school in the Atlantic again is it's itching for if your NC state and there's a lot of expectations.

This is like the perfect ACC kickoff. So don't be like 5% of the conversation will be can NC state do the thing because everybody's going to be discussing other things I final thing you know you've heard me say it arrived, I think I've ate actually sent you. There are essentially four St. Louis Cardinals fans that I like and you're on the Mount Rushmore of Saint Ct., St. Louis Cardinals fans that I like and I know you I think you liked the tweet I had last night about how cool it was to see Albert pools in that game wearing a Cardinals uniform and we could have been an Angels uniform Dodgers uniform hat could a beta of African Minnesota Twins uniform but based on what where he played out his final season that was just cool and I think to see the players pay homage to him because he means so much to them as a Dominican and there is such such a Dominican influence, especially home run Derby last night that I would be cool for everybody was really cool automated member who was in there. Wonderful. Here's where I'm at. The fact that you listed at all time great player you lose certain RBIs and tucked in and hit salmon and fixed it home runs.

Let me know the guy numerically play for you.

Yes, appreciate that that moment his last All-Star game week and then like your effort. You know, they'll gather at home plate.

There were women how to cool them off you went to the next run after the short short forwarder that was fantastic was a great sports moment and even if you like baseball means just as all time great at it at a sport you know and it's easy to be a Hall of Fame five years here and that's that's what they should do form so it was nice to see. It was really nice and make me forget why I thought the Mets were pond scum when I was in the 80s when I was growing up, so I returned up to you.

This is your event that I appreciate that I appreciate to be on that list.

Even Wiseman you the man I appreciate time. I'll see you tomorrow okay very good thing you got a still wisely coming back will check in at the All-Star game with our friend Ryan Fagan from supporting his next time last night was a pressure home run Derby creates pressure it was. It was a show as it always is. Home run Derby is an absolute blast and it is the best of the other events surrounding it.

All-Star game baseballs also the one that most resembles an actual game. Baseballs All-Star game is always been just doesn't mean as much to mom to people today because the game is is been dominated by pitching and I get it when you have that level of pitching talent on the field.

There is no way that it will be dominated by pitching.

I think see Clayton Kershaw start the game for the Dodgers tonight, but it was it was called a lot, but I also watch the Derek Jeter documentary the first episode of the Derek Jeter documentary I will watch it is actually much better than I anticipated. Ryan Fagan sporting his baseball writer extraordinaire, my friend. I bothering you like crazy last few days. I apologize. I don't know why they did the draft the same right but it up against the All-Star game but it made for Rachel weekend for you.

I hope you're doing well you are doing all right outlive a tribe private like capture the MLB use time right been doing everything at the same time I'm not sure if famously forever, but trying it so you are trying to make the draft a bigger deal and have been for a long time which is good and they're trying to put everything together to showcase week which is good but we'll see how it out eventually played out.

But at least they're trying to amplify things that they have now not in the last five years with 1520 years, but they are pretty much made it as a secondary event by the attention they gave to itself. I know you're based in St. Louis, you know you're in Los Angeles right now the All-Star game and I want to get want to close with something about Albert pools in seconds, but I'm sure that the conversation has been almost entirely about Juan Soto out there. My view is that the nationals really don't want to keep in that they always want to trade him and that's why they offered in that contract which is not only below value but for 15 years on and why anybody would sign that. But what what's what's your view on where the nationals are with Juan Soto why look the reality of it.

If they can trade one photo and get back a package that anything close to what most people expect you almost have to do it right. The guy who's going to know if you can trade him bring back one young major leaker in 1 cup prospecting for five also-rans right is the guy if you train him with 2 1/2 years left under club control you're going to get for the six impact guys right and what again not talk about low-level guys not drafted this year. Talk about AA, AAA superstars are young major leaguers intoxicating for the franchisor. Quite frankly needs that level of talent in flux right I get it. You know you love one photo you love what you can do.

But if you can. If you can be the guy that you'll the type of franchise reinvigoration that quite frankly they need right now you look on my fingers.

There's nothing there's nothing about an offer of 4400 $40 million cheap right below market. Sure, but not cheap. So I think they made their Nick did their due diligence think that their effort. They can say that they did. Yet if they can trade him get a packet anywhere close to what some of these place like baseball America is talking about. I mean that they would almost be crazy not to do it.

I mean, I like to follow the Mets and the Mets fan, I would say here's a list of our top prospects choose three and then will throw another plate, that's what I would do. But that's just doesn't cancel you and your mimetic director to different they can they can give him the contract need to keep it long-term right, you know, I don't think every franchise and that's what because you're that's not nothing that's not a year of club control unit worksite teams are hesitant to give up top guys so you but you're still you not give way you do me hesitant to give way for impact guys for two years. But if you feel like you can sign him to a long-term deal and you: Oxley has the money at W's and the desire to do that but yeah that's different conversation will be the first thing that hits $350 million in payroll on certain of that and I think that is coming quickly. Ryan Fagan of the sporting news we will have two minutes left. Want to get to things in your quickly, we saw past, present and future at the home run Derby last night the future is Julio Rodriguez, holy cow, this is a kid already a star that home under last night. He stuck it in the American League's obeisance kid got 21 so they said 50 home run is 21 years old that he absolutely future start is no doubt about my mind in the past was Albert pools last night in a Cardinals uniform with the adulation of basically everybody who was anticipating and watching that event yet and it's not.
