He’s right though. Seth Lugo for example should absolutely be an Allstar this year but he has no business being the Allstar starter I don’t care how good he’s been.
Absolutely wrong. If you’re the best pitcher in the league, and Lugo is by far, you deserve to be an All Star and in his case a starter. Putting people on a team because of their name is why so many players become so vastly overrated during their careers and in retrospect aren’t thought of as much of a star. It’s also why so many players are overlooked for how good they are or were. 50 years of watching baseball proves that.
Fan of Ken’s, but I couldn’t disagree more and I’m a 66 year fan of the game. I want to see the most deserving players based on performance. Fill the roster with the older guys, but priority to those having the best season.
You never actually explained why you have Machado over Ortiz... You just said "let me explain" and then talked about other positions. It's an indefensible position. Admit your mistake and move on.
@@mikeplumer7687 Even if he had McMahon over Ortiz on there it'd make sense (and would also satisfy the need for a COL player). Machado is only on there because of his name.
This Lugo slander is ridiculous. He is absolutely deserving and I’m tired of these nation media types overlooking all the players that don’t play in NY, LA, Chicago or Philly. Ken would have Jackson Holliday in the all star game if he could stay on the Orioles’ roster.
To deny a guy like Seth Lugo the start because he isn't as well known despite the fact that he is having a Cy Young worthy first half is crass and I expect better of you Ken.
@@jackiemoon5906 I want to see the best players play, IDGAF where they play. Now I might be a little biased since I am a Royals fan but I have the numbers to back my argument up. Lugo is tied for 1st in wins, 1st in ERA, and 2nd in Innings Pitched.
If I were the Blue Jays GM the moves would already be happening! But wait… they moved up the season ticket deadline sales to before the deadline lol . “Shady” let’s make people buy before we show what we’re doing with this team . Would not be happy as a fan base . I would trade all expiring contracts , Vlad,BASSITT,sell HIGH . Gausman and Bo possibly ,depending on the return . Restock the farm ! Free up payroll ! Build around new Bison core ,start over .
No, just no. This isn't NBA, it isn't a sport where you can be an All-Star just because you promote youself well, you should be an All-Star cuz you do well April through July, not because you can tweet the most interesting thing or more of an influencer, a no name can become a star with the oppotunity to be an All-Star and shine on this big platform, just like Elias Diaz who did turned some heads last year, that's the spirit.
To me, an Allstar not only performs well but also has good character. Manny Machado definitely does not check all of the boxes. I do not want my child looking up to a player like that!
question for Ken, If this Yankees failed to win WS this year, do you think Cashman will retired or transition his himself to President operations and hire GM in placed?
@@1TightMinute - Because it keeps more deserving players from being selected. Organizations that assemble crappy teams don't need to be represented. Maybe the shame of that would motivate them to take their team's performance more seriously, which would be better for their fans.
@@Curly_Maple more deserving? If you didn’t play well enough that you left yourself exposed to getting snubbed then you don’t actually deserve it now do you? Like who’s really going to get snubbed, Alex verdugo? They want the entire nation tuning in so they are going to have someone that is from everyone’s team so that they want to watch. It’s an exhibition game, after all.
Jays have a lot of valuable assets. They could get really good 2-3 years from now with top-line prospects by moving these players that other teams will pay a premium to receive.
Try largely OVER-valued assets. Hence their nickname "Paper-Tiger," as they flounder in last place in the AL East, 7 games below .500. "Pay a premium..." ??😄 Seriously, MGA must've snoozed off into dream-land😴

@@luisjalvareztorres8481 why does he have no business starting? Because people don't recognize his name? Weak argument. Not his fault.

Great comment
If Lugo was still with the Mets and having this kind of season, Ken wouldn't be talking out his ass like he is.
What a shitty take from Ken. He practically represents fan voting, which is a popularity contest.
To deny a guy like Seth Lugo the start because he isn't as well known despite the fact that he is having a Cy Young worthy first half is crass and I expect better of you Ken.
His only retort being “I am biased, I work for fox” like bro they don’t pay you more for more viewers on the broadcast.

I don't think I'll be watching this channel again. Rosenthal all but admits that he's little more than a corporate shill.
Cardinals fan here and we would definitely take Kevin Guasman off the Blue Jays hands. We need a solid starter like yesterday lol

Restock the farm !

John Henry hates this pod.
Red Sox should definitely buy because the Yankees are pretty screwed right now.
Give me the Stars for the All-Star Game! And yes, PAUL SKENES MUST BE THERE!
Blue Jays have to trade them all but they probably won't.And their fans are idiots.
It’s so nice to hear Ken without AJ and the meatheads that have never read a book.
So glad the all star game is almost here so we stop hearing kens takes on it
Sign Adamas!

DFA Eugenio Suarez. He is well past his prime and can't really hit in the Bigs. Look at his abysmal BA
Casas joining the Red Sox, and if Tyler O’Neil can stay healthy🍀🍀🍀, this is a strong team. Still thinking the Cardinals can run the Brewers down.

Get rid of the rule requiring every team to be represented.
What why?
@@1TightMinute - Because it keeps more deserving players from being selected. Organizations that assemble crappy teams don't need to be represented. Maybe the shame of that would motivate them to take their team's performance more seriously, which would be better for their fans.

Agreed. Lame rule designed for the little leagues
Its not even a real game. Its all fake
it’s an _all-star_ game, Ken’s right:
it should be _all stars_

@@WonkNRoll it’s literally an exhibition for fun. If some guy who is doing well one year happens to miss out, who honestly cares?
