[16:09] ..." were trying to get into Jones and they were trying to get Miguel Tejada and -- after the break ice but obviously those guys didn't -- moved to know what that many good players -- that"...

[0:00]" On. The line right now as the general manager of the yet Toronto blue jeans and an old friend of mark JP returning eight jpleo --"

[0:10]" He -- never have you ever have a favorite trading partner we -- from up the hill making a trade with San Diego he ever. Pick a team that you like doing business with taping."

[0:19]" I. Think a lot of -- comes out of familiarity with maybe the players over there aren't a lot of that comes out you know all a lot of getting distributed -- that understand what you want to do and -- you want to do it -- It's probably going to be -- good relationship -- Kevin and it's probably just -- go to -- yet think that was real quick so i could see where that happened that a lot of cases."

[0:41]" You made a deal with the Red Sox and Eric Hinske is here. Is her hesitation at least generally speaking to trade with a team in your own division."

[0:50]" Well i think you have to consider appropriate talking about it and i -- in this situation you know this plant was not going to play for us so it was an opportunity for us to move there Robin poke the ball maybe over here in Detroit free up some money but i -- if you talk about how -- i think we take place virtually didn't -- division."

[1:09]" Arnett Terry jbs that it's been an adventurous year for the Toronto Blue Jays on the field and off. Let's start with Europe on the field performance how would you assess what your team has done so far."

[1:22]" Well you are delighted with -- was -- we came into the year with expectations of -- already in the high 80s obviously it has been a lot of things that contribute that is committed that is it's probably injuries to our pitching staff but. You. Don't have not played well on the road that's been disappointing in Augusta played about that they've worked real hard just -- the results that we thought -- get so delighted i would say it wasn't -- from our awareness that -- important."

[1:50]" Have you been concerned about some of the issues -- managers had with some of your players."

[1:55]" Not because i don't close to a situation i know what that's what's happening with the situation pick -- number of cases was -- that. Nobody in Boston knows -- problems here and you know he was not happy units are with us animated character makes 6001000 it happened with the role playing every day so I guess that wasn't good enough Armand you know he he had been a lot of bad things that work. You. Know behind the scenes. Trying. To undermine the manager a lot of ways in the manager had brought him into the darkest -- before five times prior to this incident. And that really familiar reasonably -- he had to commode and basically challenge and Clarence thought of the other players because you know he was gone by in -- to back there's only to manage it really. Stand up to this guy in front of everybody else -- that he didn't -- in that situation and only situation or -- unfortunate sickest of the rugged site that we you know can't really broke because the rule on the mountains are essentially all of the manager and i can be big big mistake of falling down the tunnel after the incident so. At a table glad that what happened but to totally separate incidents -- very good manager we're going to demand and it's just unfortunate these things happen because national public thinks it's got used subsidies are really not immediately great guys expect anybody at a game --"

[3:15]" Why -- the Boston John Gibbons. What. Do. You say to him in both issues especially but the hillenbrand they where he is forced you challenge a player to a fight even though. Hillenbrand probably led into that position used to have a manager challenge in the player to a buy which is never a good thing for friendship."

[3:34]" Well our problem that is more than people think doesn't end -- like dissidents say that they we get the right thing to do did you give Regis really get pushed the end of his limits with the player and probably can't let a little bit. Most. Of us -- handle it so i talked about that incident. And albeit still a little like parliament about the mistakes he made was all in the plant doubt about. But an -- because at that point you know you're never -- sadly that were brought people hot and you -- contributed at least you know we Robin in these situations where your emotions take over more that you thought process it -- is -- marches took over parliament -- it wasn't the right decision to make so. He adolescent summit he was embarrassed Barrett as was -- and -- i think it's a difference in these two guys did they actually are remorseful when they accidentally took care enough will let you know willing to JK has been. And bury the -- to move on so if you try to guide -- not. You. Know you. No one that he is trying to pick the right ray Leonard a tough situation it's easy when you know the situation so it's i was aggressive executive at that point."

[4:43]" Jp what's the situation with AJ Burnett physically."

[4:47]" Tonight and he signed it not just he's come back east it's great for -- statistics -- is those who have followed the commander in the -- were little i was about six disseminating -- everyone respects. That really needed for the question of you know will do we have been at this guy i was healthy originally at least 500 you've probably look at that a guy -- probably at least ten at ten at this point. West a lot of innings -- that takes the pressure -- bullpen and that that's probably been the biggest thing that we missed this year along which -- but together on every rotation that. To go to another good guy who just wrote deduct all of present powers who want thirteen to India before it was really just stop for a so called."

[5:31]" Jb i want to ask your immediate question we know how the media operate. In. The northeast Boston New York Philadelphia. Not sure how they operate in Toronto what has been the response to this team a lot of people had great expectations as you said the little it's mildly disappointed with the blue jays have people call for your job with the taken cheap shots that you at the manager -- then."

[5:53]" Like extended that the -- cartilage capsules you know that he -- deliberately i immediately Toronto resist a lot different an -- and -- the New York and Philadelphia i think -- some cases. Maybe you know they basically from a different perspective but i think it definitely disappointed but the other one so it has some people would be disappointed -- so i think we -- we understand that but. You. Know it -- is -- disappointed you know we weeks we said there are some gross -- accomplished this year it or not getting Eric. Curiosity -- myrtle you know what we think about achieving our goals and you know an outlet getting really want to get it and you know outperform from just took our competitive standpoint that this would."

[6:40]" But college minute the Red Sox haven't had a lot of breaks lately but they sure got one last night. The Alex Rios play in right field as one of the strangest quote home runs on quote I've ever seen."

[6:53]" Well unfortunately were Rios will probably be at every blooper reel the first hit. So glad to return the result it was a crazy time -- the detestable play catch a ball that about political haven't you know he's starting in the. Ahmedabad and -- to look into the stands in its outlook Ross brought stability is dedicated to -- little experiment that much better for -- we can kind of relate to what's going on investment."

[7:20]" is going to ask you about that you cultural problems to worry about but the Red Sox began August the first place and it ended August with an amazing 21 losses have you ever seen a team a good team go see themselves out so quickly."

[7:39]" I. Think a lot of it you know just from an outside looking in the five game series the Yankees really -- of the wind out of this else and then -- to lose -- to have that many injuries pilot project are wants to traditionally -- ethnic ballpark -- You. Know it's funny because we've we've kind of lived in the world are delivered and now it's no it doesn't matter how much money you have people -- and the Iraqi people -- can't put on the field in this division. It's just it's an on figuring division in American troops are reported it to keep probably when they can."

[8:15]" I saw you one one of the national telecasts around the time of the trade deadline. And. You admitted that the money that ownership had given you to spend -- really kind of spent in the offseason and -- little hamstrung in terms of making moves that the deadline would you have money to spend this offseason as well."

[8:32]" Good question six good the biggest misnomer out there is that -- respect 25 million dollars in the hot seat while nato which we spent about 22 and you know we took out there -- 50 million dollars it's 69 and a half million dollars right now basically we spent MIT unpleasant we felt going to be here for the next three Vietnam but it treated for grossed two people were -- So i think right -- can't side in the lead up to only one year ago that we we try to spend money you know guys that we thought we could build a nucleus around. We -- not going to have that money again end. In Toronto and i think it's probably that the mission all of everybody's -- we -- weeks they wrote about a lot of money and we keep on every -- you know we're we're apparently seventeenth but all of baseball. So we can spend a lot of money to make got to have a little better but only at 69 and no doubt that mr. Clark doesn't compete in front of us so that's the reality of -- world."

[9:31]" I know you want to answer this question to be the Toronto Blue Jays. But in your opinion who has the best team in the American league right."

[9:39]" All i mean that's immediately a -- that's really wanted to get I think that the Yankees supply and very very well when you look at the fact that they might have the only a couple of games behind tiger to have the best record in baseball. But. It the title you can -- this kind of run into that you know situation late season win it Scotland I. Think the hottest team in baseball and the team i would not want to play right now to open its i think they -- a lot of bureau totally late 60s early 70s great pitching great defects and they get tightly hitting I'm addicted to open purposes then a playoff run because of that pathetic little last month the twins are good clear he sort of got into my editor of the best in the American league right now --"

[10:26]" And I think just imagine aides I've gotten into arguments with a lot of people tell included we've argued about Billy -- how he's put together some great teams -- is a great -- JP five times in the last 66 years. His -- to -- when he -- August but that knocked on Billy -- is that is teams they'll perform in the playoffs do you think that's a legitimate criticism."

[10:49]" I. Think it's pretty it's it's unclear how lot of cases because -- think what happened to the one 162 games are really the test is getting net like a dog teams have built -- in the long run to an end in the short run it -- i noticed it takes a lot of what we're in the playoffs i mean -- about local one in 89 won the World Series it was in the close requested giant -- did not immediately we will be glad that it seemed that anybody would tell it was probably. You. Know that -- the most -- team to win the World Series but for a change -- we totally gets -- so basically you know intricate series anything can happen or not. Sometimes and just operate -- capabilities and treachery but if you look at the based. Here's on the role of close to at least seven -- 95 wins every yet so peppered you run out death."

[11:36]" Jpm curious how you look at a guy like halladay who was such a warrior. And so good at what he dies and you know you look at the complete games in the innings pitched as a general manager do you worry about how many bullets -- and that gun."

[11:51]" I. Think what -- is very competitive himself he'd like -- in the alliance he's so great work he he takes particular result physically he knows himself if you look at -- the most biggest account. He usually at a hundred pitches into the said the big city very similar to build that 11015 pitch Kelly had to -- completely clear he's been pushing a little dose. Aren't that he has yet to strike everybody out Hitler product -- contact at least I'm glad i don't really get down night i was -- that was not predict which -- said he really really grind it out try to get a chance to win the game you know he's not even pretty evidently -- rather -- we kept it for free agency to get -- two different times so we know we're going to have a -- we don't have a nation next four years."

[12:39]" He kept them from free agency that he expressed the desire to spend the rest of his career Toronto -- that's those types of conversations."

[12:46]" Automobile which Britain decided to -- to rest of his career because they think that when he's done this contract to be tend I. Think he's just going to be eaten like 30 to a particular we -- that point we're ago that he can pick Kabila could typically fruity because of the way particular respect and how we understand -- keep Peter would you like to hear that you actually do what he led to a broad and that you want to be part of you know the luckiest that i can i could go to Boston on the yacht club and so many other places where. You. Know to go to those places -- here a situation where we will try to win in the US be part of that."

[13:25]" Oh. Yesterday Theo had to make a decision on trading a veteran and very good player off his baseball team for something for the future did you have any of those possibilities are options for your team at the at the -- September 1 deadline as well."

[13:42]" Wouldn't have a question in the category -- they -- also you know we we were trying to just keep i got here and internal audit committee is we can't. Elected legislators resolutely but we'd like to recite -- about it -- let the recites you know derogatory -- graduation that is that the whole process over going to bring them back."

[14:02]" Did. You understand what the did yesterday."

[14:05]" I. Think -- it is you know field got a lot of criticism abroad but i would demonstrate that we have done that there was not much out there in the way of traded at the deadline he's trying to get -- play different guys it's not going to be -- next year -- i don't -- totally -- which -- know -- just -- did -- to -- That's something you don't look for the future and i think balloting with the -- but he did a good job courtesy call progress young pleasant young players going to be q public -- afford."

[14:37]" You talk about trade especially this time a year or yesterday. That means clearing waivers just give us an idea of what that waiver processes like as a general manager sometimes -- an interest in the player what you want to block them from someone else how does that work."

[14:53]" I -- that we don't really didn't all the PR the cloak and dagger kind of an -- because a lot of BS and public. In. The sense that if we want to play locally in the place I. Don't want to escalate planned for the sake of blocking Eminem gets stuck with the -- Because we just can't afford to financially support this campaign that the American red special has already played that that the waiver again that much in the sense that we -- a -- out there and we think someone -- and we think we get political again it will help us. Then yelled that's why we put -- put out -- but. You. Know -- they -- went out when addiction trade -- would act and a couple of Arbil the seat we also look at acclaim but we know an eccentric so little get well that they became. And I think a lot of teams -- like that is q how many guys declined to keep anything from never. This budget deals may wind tunnels where the click done because it seems like it's it's. The survey as well as a seller's market that is about it."

[15:49]" Final question from me talked about via the on not getting anything done at the July 31 trading deadline you were involved in it you were probably looking at deals to maker not make. What kind of market was it like in what was available out there."

[16:03]" It. Was terrible and i and i think you know i don't really know what the -- center trying to do just that they had heard. But there were trying to get into Jones and they were trying to get Miguel Tejada and -- after the break ice but obviously those guys didn't -- moved to know what that many good players -- that it probably got move which had taken and 21 million dollars. And i love the Red Sox could handle that they prepare not i don't i don't i don't know that the financial situation. But this really want -- take those kind of put on at least -- and they become but I. Don't think the market was really good night i think it would have been the right thing because is that trade young -- best regarded -- before work maybe the market i don't know i don't know if you want. What. You try to get Peugeot include general they wanted their future up."

[16:48]" Jp it's always fun to talk baseball with your best to block the rest of the -- I can't secure at JP rich Cardenas general manager at the Toronto Blue Jays and as he says it has been an area a trying year in Toronto"
