1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Welcome dude, got neil Ya sick. Just when they brought away. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: Out, he pulled me back, kid, how's it going everybody? 3 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 2: Welcome back, Welcome back. So this took longer than expected. 4 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 2: Apparently there was a little hiccup. But Garrett Cole is 5 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: coming back. And if you've been following the Yankees closely, 6 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: you knew that they were going to extend Garrett Cole's contract. 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 2: They were going to bring him back. Just to catch 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: you up on the situation in case you're not following 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: that closely. Garrett Cole, when he signed with the Yankees 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: before the twenty twenty season, got a nine year, three 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty four million dollar contract. It was one 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: of the founding moments of this channel. It made the Yankees' 13 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: instant favorites. But this was the first time that he 14 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: got the Yankees to the World Series or helped get 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 2: the Yankees to the World Series. That contract contained an 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: opt out clause, which meant that Herrick Cole could cancel 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: the rest of the contract and become a free agent 18 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: after this year, and the Yankees would have the option 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: to tack on a year of that contract a tenth 20 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: year at three at a thirty six million, Okay, So 21 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: that would escalate the total value of the contract to 22 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: ten years, three hundred and sixty million dollars. That would 23 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: have tied Aaron Judge for the biggest overall contract in Yankees' history, 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: although Aaron Judge has a little bit of a higher 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: aav because he got nine years at three sixty so 26 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: forty million per year. But apparently there was a snack 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: the Yankees didn't want to just sleep walk into five 28 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 2: years and one hundred and eighty million dollars for Garrett Cole, 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: a guy who is showing definite signs of wear and tear. 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: He missed half the season with an elbow injury. He 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: just had one of the worst gaffes in Yankees World 32 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: Series history. So when he exercised his opt out, what 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: should have been kind of again an automatic that you know, 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: the Yankees would just tackle on the tenth year and 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: that would be that it extended into today. And that 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: created a lot of speculation. Could the Yankees actually not 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: extend this guy, could he actually become a free agent? Well, 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: what happened was he agreed to a four year, one 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: hundred and forty four million dollar extension. So basically there 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: is no fifth year. He now has four years at 41 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: thirty six million dollars remaining on his contract. I think 42 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: that's interesting. I think the Yankees basically said, we're not 43 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: going to pick up the fifth year. Okay, so if 44 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: you want to come back for four years and just 45 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: finish out your contract, we can do that, but we're 46 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: not going to tack on the fifth year. And he 47 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: decided rather than go out and seek free agency and 48 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: see if he can get better than thirty six million 49 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: dollars a year for these you know, four or five years, 50 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: he said, you know what, I'll just stay with the Yankees. 51 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: Finish out my career with the Yankees four years, thirty six. 52 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: So that's the extension. It basically is as if the 53 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: opt out never happened, and he chose not to do 54 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 2: it because the Yankees basically said, we're not going to 55 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: give you that extra year. Let's go ahead and take 56 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: a little bit of a look. Here at his numbers 57 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: for the year, and this might explain something. So he 58 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: did go eight and five with a three point four 59 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: to one era. He made seventeen starts. You know, he 60 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: began the season with that swelling in his elbow. The 61 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: edema and the nerve was kind of an issue. A 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: lot of people thought he was gonna end up having 63 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: Tommy John surgery. 64 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: He did not. 65 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: He pitched ninety five innings. He had ninety nine strikeouts, 66 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: so he's still missing batts. His fastball has lost some 67 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: average zip. You know, in the postseason he showed that 68 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: he could still get it up to ninety eight ninety 69 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: nine miles an hour whenever he wanted, but he was 70 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: ninety five point nine, so just below ninety six on 71 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: average this year, which is in the seventy ninth percentile. 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: It's still very good, but he used to be in 73 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: the ninety ninth percentile. 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: If you look at these rankings, you know he's fallen 75 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: below average in a number of areas, average exit velocity, 76 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: chase percentage, with percentage, ground ball percentage. He's never had 77 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: great extension hard hit percentage and that's that's a forty 78 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: two percent and then he's slightly above average in walks 79 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: and barrels. So you know, he's obviously a pitcher who's 80 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: showing a little bit of wear and tearr he's thirty 81 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: four years old. He will be I guess thirty eight 82 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: when this contract is up. But I just think it's 83 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: interesting that the Yankees decided not to pick up this option. 84 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: Joser b says, this gives me concern about his health. 85 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: I can't blame you for being concerned. William Grimma says, 86 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: it's like nothing happened. You're absolutely correct. If he hadn't 87 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: opted out and just said, you know, I'm gonna play 88 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: through my nine years, then that's what the contract would 89 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: have been. So the Yankees basically said, hey, we'll keep 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: you in the contract, we're not giving you the fifth year. 91 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: So Brian Cashman actually played this pretty well. I think 92 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: he would have been able to get four years one 93 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 2: hundred and forty four or better on the open market. 94 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Theoharas says, when does Soto re sign? 95 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: So free agency has officially begun, as actually it begins 96 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: in one minute, boom, five o'clock. It officially begun a 97 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,119 Speaker 2: second ago. So Wan Soto's phone is ringing right now 98 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: and it's Steve Cohen on the line. I remember back 99 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight, Brian Cashman called C. C. 100 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: Sabathia one second after midnight, and actually I think they 101 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: sent over a fax too with a contract at twelve 102 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: oh one one minute, they had the contract ready to go, 103 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: and they basically upped their contract, you know, bidding against 104 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: themselves about a week later. Because that's how bad they 105 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: wanted him. They pursued him aggressively. I hope they do 106 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: the same thing with Juan Soto. I was doing some 107 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: math today, just kind of trying to play with the numbers. 108 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: And if he signs for fifteen years at fifty million dollars, 109 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: which I think is reasonable, that's already seven hundred and 110 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: fifty million. So I mean when you tack on the 111 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: extra years and basically he plays until he's forty four 112 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: forty one, at just fifty million dollars year, he's already 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: over seven hundred million. So the question is, will somebody 114 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: give him fifty five fifty six million for that duration? 115 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: I mean, if you get up to fifty nine million 116 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 2: times fifteen years, that's eight hundred and eighty five million dollars. 117 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? 118 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: Boris is one of those guys who likes to overperform 119 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: with the numbers. He likes to get you know, the 120 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: the A Rod contract for example, he got twice as 121 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: large as the next biggest sports contract at that time, 122 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: it was two hundred and fifty two million dollars. I 123 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: think it was maybe Kevin Garnett, or maybe it was 124 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: Tracy mcgrae. 125 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: It was one of those. 126 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: It was a really good basketball player who had signed 127 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: for one hundred and twenty six million. 128 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: Uh. 129 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 2: And it's been a long time now, you know, twenty 130 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: five years and a Rod got double that. So Boris 131 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: definitely wants to beat Otani. So you know, he's gonna 132 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 2: set this at fifteen years. That'll take Soto into his forties. 133 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 2: And then if the contract begins with a five or 134 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: even like a four to six or a four to seven, 135 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: what is fifteen times forty seven. 136 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: Let's do the math. Fifteen times forty seven is seven 137 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: hundred and five. 138 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: That's a new record my quantitative, my math specialist. So 139 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: we'll see if he's coming back. A lot of people 140 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: think he's going to the Mets. A lot of people 141 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: think he could be going any number of places. But 142 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: Garrett Cole back in Pinstripes, Max Cohen says, I like Soto, 143 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: if he'll come back. 144 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: The money is right, seven hundred million is a lot. 145 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: It is a lot. 146 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: But we're still getting comments about the Dodgers.
