Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – July 19th, 2023

Transcript is now available!

1:02

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!!

1:03

Drew: Thanks for your time, hope you’re doing well

1:03

Paul Sporer: I am. The All-Star break was nice to get a little breather and gear up for the 2nd half

1:04

Paul Sporer: BTW, apologies for no SP chart today. Wasn’t able to get it done last night and it would’ve been too late this morning by the time I could finish it. Thursday’s will be up later tonight.

1:04

Guest: With Ozzie Albies doing so well, is there any scenario where he can improve his contract in the off-season?  Could he threaten to go to Japan or sit out like an NFL running back?

1:06

Paul Sporer: No, I don’t see anything like that. Obviously, it’s an amazing under market deal, but if he’s content with it and happy to be one of the best contracts in the game, then I’m not too worried about it. His value certainly helps w/signing all these deals, too, so if it ends up putting him on 2-3 WS winners, there’s some value in that, too.

1:04

Paul Sporer: Shoulders can be really tough on power and he already wasn’t a premiere power guy… I’m nervous for Vinnie P

1:04
