1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to. 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: Easing Well, Cody Bellinger is back in the fold. What 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 2: else will the Yankees do? Also, they face a major 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: decision with regards to Jason Domingez and Spencer Jones. There's 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 2: only so many outfield spots and both of these guys 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: could be ready to take major league jobs. Also, they 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: missed out on Freddy Peralta. Could there be another move 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: out there waiting somewhere, Nico Horner, anyone, Jarique Schooble, anyone. 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: Probably won't happen, but we'll talk about it with Frankie 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: Baseball coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 3: Wanted to talk that told all right, let's go, let's 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 3: get it going. 13 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back and welcome back to 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: my buddy, Frankie Baseball. Frankie, I want you to tell 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: us how you're feeling. I just realized that I got 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: some sound going on in the other room, So I'm 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: gonna let you open things up for us tonight. Hot 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 2: tell us on a little Frankie rant, how you're feeling 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: about this winter so far? 20 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 4: Oh boy, dark, it's even me the whole channel. This 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 4: might be dangerous for him, but I was feeling. I 22 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 4: was feeling terrible pretty much all winter long because we 23 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 4: were doing absolutely nothing. It's crazy to think that the 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 4: Trent Grisham qualifying offer just kind of destroyed our winter. 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 4: We did that and then did essentially nothing. That we 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 4: got Ryan weathers okay, cool, But then we get Bellinger yesterday, 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 4: and I mean we kind of knew that was going 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: to happen once Luis Robert signed with the Mets. I 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 4: think we all figured that this was the only way 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 4: it was going to go. And then we're thinking, all right, something, 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 4: but now let's maybe we can get a picture Freddy 32 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 4: parompt It. He's out there and the Mets get him. 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: You know, I was pretty disappointed, Frankie when Peralta went 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: to the Mets. I had just gotten off of foul 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: Territory and I was making my pitch for Freddy Peralta 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: and then he goes to the Mets. I mean, that 37 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: was pretty deflating, Frankie. 38 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: Can the Mets stop stealing either players we have or 39 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: players we want? Can we take some of these people please? 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 4: Although you know, I guess we didn't want them in 41 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 4: Willams anymore, so you can have him. But I mean 42 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 4: It's just it's frustrating that we're in this position here, 43 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 4: it's January twenty second and this offseason. Yeah, we'll get 44 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 4: to the Mets here in just a second, but the 45 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 4: Mets are the ones who are acting like, you know, 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 4: the Mets are urgent right now, and the Yankees have 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 4: no urgency at all. The Mets still think it's the 48 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 4: Mets kind of have a feeling. They're acting like there's 49 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 4: not gonna be any baseball in twenty twenty seven, and 50 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: they're having that urgency. I wish the Yankees had that 51 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: same level of urgency. 52 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: We'll see. So in this episode, we're going to talk 53 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: about the Yankees predicament with Jason Dimingez and Spencer Jones. 54 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about the Mets being aggressive and you 55 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: know how they've kind of turned their winter around. We'll 56 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: talk about the final moves that the Yankees could make, 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: whether it's Austin Hayes, whether it's Nico Horner. They still 58 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 2: need a right handed bat for sure, and we'll rank 59 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: the Al East. You know, are the Blue Jays still 60 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: the team de beat? Plus we got four or five 61 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: voicemails Frankie, thanks for step stepping in for me there. 62 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: You know what happened is I was I had the 63 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: channel open on my other computer and I forgot to 64 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: turn off the sound, and so like the podcast started 65 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: and I was hearing it in the background, and I 66 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: just couldn't stand that. It drives me nuts. So thanks 67 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: for stepping in for pinch hit, and let's get to it. 68 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: So I believe that Jason Dimingez is an everyday player, 69 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: and I know a lot of you believe out there 70 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: that Spencer Jones deserves an everyday shot after getting thirty 71 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 2: five home runs and the miners last year making it 72 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 2: all the way to Triple A. He had a good 73 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 2: spring training with the Yankees, but it doesn't sound like 74 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: there's a spot for either one of these guys to 75 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: start full time this year. With Bellinger back in the 76 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: fold and left field, that's gonna force Jason Dimingez into 77 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: the fourth outfielder role, which I don't think is great. 78 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: But eventually John Carl Stanton's gonna get hurt and he'll 79 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: get more at bets. But Spencer Jones probably blocked, probably 80 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: not gonna be on the roster, will probably begin at 81 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: Triple A, although the Yankees could surprise us and trade 82 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: one or both of those guys and try and show 83 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: up the roster in other ways. So let's assume that 84 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: they're gonna keep one and trade the other. Frankie, where 85 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: do you stand? I think we all know that I'm 86 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: a Martian fan, So where do you stand? 87 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 4: Really, you're a Martian fan. You've never given that any 88 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: indication of that. I've had no idea. If I have 89 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: to pick, Yeah, I'm taking Domingos as well. I just 90 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 4: think he has a higher upside. Spencer Jones. I like him, 91 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 4: but you know, somebody's got to go here, and I 92 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 4: just think that what we've seen out of Dominga is 93 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 4: the small sampling that I still hold on to what 94 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: he did at the end of twenty twenty three. I believe, 95 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: I still believe in the Martian and being able to 96 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 4: come through. Spencer Jones. I don't know what his trade 97 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: value is. But you know, again, if I would have 98 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 4: to see what's out there for a fan, and I 99 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: will say, I know we had to pick one, but 100 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be against keeping both of these guys. Because 101 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 4: you mentioned Stanton's gonna get hurt. Judge is getting older. 102 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: He might need to be a dh a little bit 103 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 4: more of this season, Grisham, he might just fall apart again. 104 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 4: You have to keep that in mind that maybe last 105 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 4: season was just a fairy tale and he's going to 106 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: turn back into a pumpkin here. So you might need 107 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 4: to keep both of these guys on here if things 108 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 4: go Hey, why what do you say? 109 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: You know, I'm keeping Dimingez, But I think keeping Jones 110 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: makes sense too. I mean, what if Dimingez doesn't hit 111 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: versus lefties, right, I mean, what if he doesn't improve 112 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: on defense? It would be nice to have another prospect 113 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: to go to, and I don't think they have a 114 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: lot of other outfielders that are, you know, quite at 115 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: the same level as Spencer Jones in terms of potential. 116 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: I do believe that he's gonna end up being kind 117 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: of a Joey Gallo player. But let's not forget that 118 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: early on in Joey Gallo's career he was very, very good, 119 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: and he always struck out a lot. But it wasn't 120 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: until you know, it got to be, you know, too exposed, 121 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 2: that he really fell off and decided to hang it 122 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: up and become a pitcher. So I'm right now, I 123 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: would be inclined to keep both of them unless you 124 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: got a chance to go out and get somebody like 125 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: a Nico Horner. We'll talk about him in a minute. 126 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: You know, Threek School will probably not getting traded, but 127 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: you know, you would think you would have to include 128 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: one of those guys at least. I was surprised that 129 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: they didn't get Freddy Peralta. I thought it was gonna happen. 130 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 2: Met stepped in there. I guess they liked what the 131 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: Mets offered better. I mean, if if you try and 132 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: compare what the Mets traded to what the Yankees would 133 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: have had to give up, it would have probably been 134 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: somebody like a Lombard and a Carlos LaGrande, or like 135 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: an Elma Rodriguez Cruz, like a top arm and a 136 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: top bat prospect. And I just don't see Cashman going 137 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: to that level. He doesn't like to do that. I 138 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: think I would probably hang on to both Dominguez and 139 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 2: Spencer Jones. Let Spencer Jones hit in triple A. If 140 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: he's really raking, maybe you can move somebody and get 141 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: him some at bats, or you can use him, you know, 142 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: as leverage to get something at the trade deadline. But 143 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 2: as of right now, I think Dominguez is fine for 144 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: a fourth outfielder until John Carlo gets hurt in early 145 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: May and misses two months, and then you let Dominguez 146 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: step in there and we'll see how it shakes out. 147 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Mets. It's not something 148 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 2: we do a lot on this channel, but you know, 149 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, we were kind of laughing because, 150 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: you know, they lost Alonso, they lost Diez, looked like 151 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: nobody wanted to play there, Soto's Sweet's gonna be empty, YadA, YadA, YadA. 152 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 2: And then in the span of a week or so, 153 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 2: Boba Schet, Luis, Robert Junior and now Freddy Peralta. Holy cow, 154 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: that is a that's a pretty good trio reinforcements for 155 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: that squad. Frankie, what are your thoughts on what the 156 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: Mets have done and do you think that they are 157 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: now the team of New York Do you think they'll 158 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: finish with a better record than the Yankees? 159 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 4: First of all, that's all pump the brakes here on 160 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: the team of New York thing. I mean, because Mets 161 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 4: fans so desperately want to be the New York's team 162 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 4: and then been New York's team for a few They 163 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 4: were in New York team on the late eighties, you know, 164 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 4: in two thousand and six, twenty fifteen. But they so 165 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 4: badly want it that it sometimes caused division, and like 166 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: they want to, they try to spike the football before 167 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: you know, there's even a touchdowns score, before the game's 168 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: even over. But in this case, I will give Cohen credit. 169 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 4: Not everything he did was right. I mean, I think 170 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 4: letting Alonso go I think was it was a mistake. 171 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: I think the fact that you let and when Diez go, 172 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 4: I mean, that wasn't all his fault. But the you know, 173 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 4: having Edwin Diaz go to the Dodgers not good. But 174 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 4: this is a team. Cohen and Stearns saw what happened 175 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: last year and they said this is unacceptable. Something needs 176 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 4: to change, and they went out and made maybe too 177 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 4: many changes, but they made changes. They decided to get 178 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 4: more rotation depth, they decided to get more contact, and 179 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 4: they're making these changes and they feel like, all right, 180 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 4: that was unacceptable. We have to we have to try 181 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: something different. As opposed to the Yankees, who I mean 182 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: had a better year than the Mets and pretty much 183 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 4: just decided we're good, you know, you know, well we'll 184 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 4: run it back next year and we'll be back, which 185 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: has not worked for I just don't understand why the 186 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 4: Yankees feel like that they should be trusted here when 187 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 4: you know, we're going on sixteen years of no title 188 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 4: and we're going on all of these dumb moves here 189 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 4: and you know, free agent decisions and Cashman just not 190 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 4: knowing what he's doing it. It's just frustrated. So I think, 191 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 4: and I will give Cashman credit on the whole you know, 192 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 4: Bellinger thing that he didn't let boris volume, so they have, 193 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: you know, the Bellinger thing was a good move. But 194 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: for the Mets here to turn around, the vibes that 195 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 4: they have who are over the last week has been 196 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 4: very impressive. But again, they have the urgency right now. 197 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 4: They realize we have to change things, and the Yankees 198 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: don't have that, and that's what's frustrating. 199 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm one hundred percent with you. I like the 200 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 2: aggression from the Mets. I like the sense of urgency. 201 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: That's a great way to put it. I wish Cashman 202 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 2: had that sense of urgency. Cashman likes to just be patient. 203 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 2: He's like that, you know that snake lying in the 204 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 2: weeds for you to walk by, so you can, you know, 205 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: get your ankle or whatever. But the problem is not 206 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: biting a lot of ankles right lately. I mean, the 207 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: Blue Jays beat us out for the division last year, 208 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: and I think they've gotten stronger now. They lost Boba 209 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: Sheet that's a big loss for them, but they added 210 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: Dylan Cease right and and and I think there's gonna 211 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: be a natural hunger getting that close to the World 212 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 2: Series and not winning it. I think that type of 213 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: thing can carry over. 214 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 5: You know. 215 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: I saw people say, oh, well you lost Max Schurz 216 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: or you lost yeah. Yeah, they didn't lose anybody other 217 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: than Bobaschet. That I think is really going to be 218 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: a huge difference maker. I think that I think that 219 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: the the Blue Jays are still going to be very, 220 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: very tough. And we'll talk about who the team to 221 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: beat is in a minute. But I wish the Yankees 222 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: had the urgency to go out and take the division 223 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: again at least right. I mean, you might now win 224 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: the World Series of blue. The Dodgers are stacked, but 225 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: there's no reason you can't go out and win this 226 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: division if you put in a little bit of extra 227 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: elbow grease this winner. But so far the Yankees have 228 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: been playing the waiting game, and I don't love it. 229 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: But I do want to talk about their next move. 230 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 2: So I feel like there's still a little bit too 231 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: left handed. I was trying to, like put out their 232 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: lineup potentially on Twitter today and it looks a lot 233 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: like last year's lineup. I moved Grisham down towards the bottom. 234 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: I want Belly hitting the leadoff spot, Judge hitting second, 235 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: Rice behind him, so you go lefty right lefty, and 236 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: then maybe Stanton Forth Like I like that lineup to 237 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: begin the game. I want Grisham out of leadoff spot. 238 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 2: But I still think they're too left handed. I think 239 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: that there's some bats out there that the Yankees could 240 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: look at. And I wanted to throw this name at you, Frankie, 241 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: and see what you think. Nico Horner, this is a 242 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: switch hitter from the Cubs. Nextly, sorry he hits right handed. 243 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: Sorry he's a right handed bat. He hit two ninety 244 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: seven last year with seven home runs, so not a 245 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: power guy. He had twenty nine stolen bases a three 246 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: forty five on base percentage, pretty consistent all year long. 247 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: I mean you see, you know, to eighty one to night, 248 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: he was pretty much in the two eighty to two 249 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: ninety range all summer. He hit three sixty nine against lefty, 250 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: so he mashes against lefties with a nine to thirty 251 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: five ops. He hit three zero one on the road 252 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 2: and two ninety four at home, So he's one of 253 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: these platoon guys or splits guys. That's that's pretty good 254 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: either way. Career two eighty two hitter. What are your 255 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: thoughts on Nico Horner second baseman? Maybe allows you to 256 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: move Jazz back to third base where I know he 257 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: wasn't great defensively, but I didn't think he was all 258 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: that terrible. But Horner's a Gold Glove winning infielder. What 259 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: are your thoughts on this? 260 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 4: I like this move as well. He checks a lot 261 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 4: of boxes with the Yankees. You know he can he 262 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 4: can steal bases, he can be a good leadoff guy, 263 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 4: he can make contact. I think you'd be a really 264 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 4: good addition. Again, you move them there, you move Jazz 265 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: over to third, that'd be I think it'd be a 266 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: good move. But I don't see you know you pointed 267 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: out before we got here or you meant, I did 268 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 4: the same thing you did, which is looking at the 269 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: Yankee lineup and I'm like, wow, it is essentially this 270 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 4: caval Era instead of Alpi. I mean, Grishiam's still lead off. 271 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 4: It's just it doesn't excite. And yes, that line up 272 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 4: still did a lot last year. I mean in terms 273 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 4: of I think it was like top five in home 274 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: runs or whatever. It may have bled baseball and home runs, yeah, home. 275 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: Runs, lad run ops, all sorts of stuff. 276 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 4: Exactly, but did it win games like, did win games 277 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 4: in the postseason? Not really? So adding a batle like 278 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 4: corner I think would help solve a lot of those 279 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: issues there. You know, Austin Hayes is an option that 280 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 4: would be nice. I also think that they need serious 281 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: help with the pitching in terms of the rotation. They 282 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 4: need some more depth there and the bullpen, which I 283 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 4: think is kind of a mess I've heard from. But 284 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 4: unfortunately there aren't a lot of the problems. They've went 285 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 4: too long. There aren't many options out there for pitching. 286 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: I mean, you could get I mean, I guess from 287 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 4: Erveldez is out there. I mean, Zach Allen. There's a 288 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 4: couple options, but I'm not sure the Yankees are I've 289 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 4: heard anything about them being interested in those What do 290 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 4: you think about I've heard some people talk about Trek 291 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 4: Scouble coming to the Yankees, and I think that is 292 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 4: a long shot. Do you feel the same way. 293 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: I think that the Tigers are still good enough where 294 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: they could potentially win the American League if they have 295 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: them on their roster, so I think their incentive is 296 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: to hang on to him. I don't think it'll hurt 297 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: them to trade him at the deadline, because, like, if 298 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 2: they're out of it or they're not really a contender 299 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: at least and they don't think they can resign him, 300 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: then I mean, you can get a haul at the 301 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: trade deadline for somebody who maybe needs that pitcher for 302 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: the stretch run. I mean, what would any contender who 303 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: needs one more pitcher be willing to give up from 304 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: their farm system to add Tarik freakin' Schooble, who I 305 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: heard I heard Joel Sherman describe him this way. If 306 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 2: you needed to win one game against the Aliens to 307 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: save humanity, you're starting to reek Schooble on the mouth. 308 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: I mean, personally, I'd probably start Paul Skeens, you know, 309 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 2: get some chim music in there LB. Yeah, one A, 310 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: one B, you know, maybe go to maybe to go 311 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: to Skians out of the pen. But either way doesn't 312 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: look good for the Aliens there. But yeah, I don't. 313 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,599 Speaker 2: I don't think that school was getting traded this offseason. 314 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: But I mean, if I'm rooting very very much against 315 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: the Tigers, uh during the season. But you know what's 316 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: gonna happen, I'll tell you. I'll tell you exactly what's 317 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: gonna happen. 318 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 4: Frank, He's going to the Dodgers. 319 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 2: He's going to fucking Dodgers. He was gonna happen. You're 320 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: going to the Dodges. 321 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 4: Oh, it really is. I was also thinking about this, Derek. 322 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 4: You I wasn't around in two thousand and two, but 323 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: I've heard about the stories. I can I bet you 324 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 4: can remember how pissed off fans were Baseball fans were 325 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 4: when the Yankees got Jason Jombie and it was just like, 326 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 4: oh my gosh, the Yankees added another huge piece. It's like, 327 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 4: this is ridiculous. They need to rules.

And so two episodes 342 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: now in a row, I have dragged it right in 343 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: front of the area though I wanted to drag it. 344 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: So all right, you got to fix now.

Yes, and it was like just this baseball 350 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 4: fans were just like, why this is ridiculous. There needs 351 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 4: to be Ruth and the Dodgers. I feel like I've 352 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 4: now become even more hated than the yank Yeah in 353 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: two thousand, in their in their heyday. 354 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think people were pissed at the Dodgers. 355 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: I think they really are. When the Yankees were winning 356 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: those three titles in a row, I mean, they added 357 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: Roger Clemens one year, you know, they but they they 358 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: also kind of kept the core together, right. It wasn't 359 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: going out and supplementing. It's more of it's more of 360 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: like when it reminds me more of when the Heat 361 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: added Lebron, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, Like they built 362 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: that super squad and they're like, oh, we're gonna win 363 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: five sax. They only won I think two, but still yeah, 364 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: it has that same kind of feel for it. All Right, 365 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: So American League East, you know, yesterday I caught some 366 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: shrapnel from the fans because I said that the the 367 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: Blue Jays are still the favorites. What do you think? 368 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: Where do you rank it right now? Where do you 369 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: rank the Yankees? 370 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 4: Why are fans mad at you for that? Do you 371 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 4: want to fans out there? Do you want us to 372 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 4: sit there and go the Yankees are gonna go one 373 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 4: hundred and sixty to and oh and They're going to 374 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: destroy the rest of the big We're realist here, We're honest. 375 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 4: And the Blue Jays beat the Yankees. I mean it 376 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 4: was a tie, but they beat the Yankees. Nail East, 377 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 4: they destroyed us in the divisional series. Yeah, the Blue 378 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 4: Days are the favorite, and yeah, I know they lost 379 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 4: but Chet, but they still have They added Seas, they 380 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 4: still have their nucleus there. They still are a great team. 381 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 4: And the Yankees didn't really add anybody, you know, Ryan 382 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 4: Brothers excluded. I think it's back and forth between me 383 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 4: and Boston. I'm gonna say the Yankees are the second 384 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 4: best team. I think Boston needs another bat now, we 385 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 4: need pitching, so you know, I said even the but 386 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 4: I think Boston needs another that before I can sit 387 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 4: there and put them over the over the Yankees, but 388 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: I think the Yankees. I go back and forth on it. 389 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 4: I think the Yankees are second best right now, but 390 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 4: it's still to me Toronto Yankees, Red Sox. 391 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: I could see the Red Sox taking a huge step 392 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 2: forward if Roman Anthony has the kind of year that 393 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have. But losing Bragman hurts them, 394 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: you know, it hurts them, all right, so I gotta 395 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: give a little shout out to the mothership. Here Foul 396 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 2: Territory presenting the one hundred and first annual Baseball Gala, 397 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 2: the New York Baseball Writers Gala, live on YouTube Saturday. 398 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: Watch this year's award recipients accept their hardware MVP showy Otani, 399 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, Cy Young Winners, Treak Schooble, Future Yankee, Paul 400 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: Skens also Future Yankee, and many more.

All right, Frankie, let's take a 405 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: couple of voicemails here. What do you say? Is John 406 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: from Florida? 407 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, this is John from Florida. This off season 408 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 6: has turned out to be one of the worst off 409 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 6: seasons I've ever seen since I've been watching Washington Yankees. 410 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 6: And I'm not gonna lie. I'm not one of those 411 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 6: guys that have been seeing I've been watching forty five years. No, 412 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 6: I've been a Yankees man's in two thousand, probably one 413 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 6: of the worst off seasons. Hey sold us like they 414 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 6: were going to do something big for them to bring 415 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 6: back Koey Belacher. They're running the same exact team, Like, 416 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 6: I don't understand. Why do they have such a big ego. 417 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 6: They think they're smart, and they're not smarter than everybody. 418 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 6: Everybody that we said that we were interested in has 419 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 6: all all gone to different places. We have nowhere else 420 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 6: to turn. This is going to be another year of 421 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 6: Aaron Judge wasted crime. How much longer is he going 422 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 6: to be Superman for us? This is this is crazy man. 423 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 6: Sorry man, thanks to take care of me. 424 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 2: I mean he's thirty four years old. Frankie, I feel 425 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 2: like it's so point you have to take care of 426 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 2: this man's prime. You have to take care of him. 427 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: But I mean the spending three enter in twenty million, 428 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: I mean, what else can we really do? Spend three fifty? 429 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 2: I mean, who else are we gonna get? 430 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, that's the probably when you're going up 431 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 4: against a super team like the Dodgers, you know it's hard. 432 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 4: But I think fans just again, they saw last year, 433 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 4: they saw us disappoint last season, they saw the summer swoon, 434 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 4: and they just want something different. They also don't want 435 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 4: to see the guy who's on the right of my 436 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 4: screen here. They don't want to see him as the 437 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 4: starting shirt stuff. They they have all these other issues 438 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 4: with the team. They don't like the manager. They just 439 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 4: want something to change. And again, you have to you 440 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 4: have to assume there's not gonna be baseball next year. 441 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 4: And the Mets are treating it like that. The Dodgers 442 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: are even treating it like that, and the Yankees are not, 443 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 4: and that is what's that's what's throwing them right now. 444 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 4: And so I think there's a lot of anger from 445 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 4: Yankee fans, not just for last season, but also that 446 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 4: they think this is it and they don't feel like 447 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 4: they've made the necessary changes to compete for this season 448 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 4: and the next time. And happy Baseball will be twenty 449 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 4: twenty eight, and at that point, Judge will be thirty six, 450 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 4: and who knows what he's gonna be. 451 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: Action VJ says Cashman's a genius. Just to ask him. 452 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: It's like that line from a Little Big League Great 453 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: Baseball movie. Here's Milton. 454 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 7: Derek. 455 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: There's multipan texts to call yesterday. Not the message there, 456 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: but you need to tell me that the Yankees couldn't 457 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: do something with Paralta, I mean, other mess It sounded 458 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: like a metal sticking to the Yankees, you know, you know, Bishett, 459 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: I know that sounds like conspiratorial type of stuff. But 460 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: they got Bashett, they got Paralta and you we wanted both, 461 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: and probably pretty badly. 462 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 8: They gave up two of five top prospects. The Yankees 463 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 8: couldn't do something and at least close to that, not 464 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 8: if not, you know, at least equal to that. 465 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: I don't think that Cashman wants to give up. Cashman 466 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: is a prospect hugger. He doesn't give up big prospects 467 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: in trades, Frankie, I mean, is that to his detriment 468 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 2: or to his advantage? I mean there was times that 469 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: you know, Aaron Judge was rumored in trades and the 470 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: Yankees didn't move him. But you know, they've also held 471 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: on the guys that they probably could have moved. I mean, 472 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 2: I remember at one point the talk was trading Anthony 473 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: Volpi and signing Corey Seger. Maybe that's something that in retrospect, 474 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 2: we should have done. 475 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think t K brought it to me a 476 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 4: couple of months ago, how they had a chance at 477 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 4: getting Carrot Cole back in twenty nineteen, but they had 478 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 4: to give up. I believe it was Chance Adams, So. 479 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the difference making it was it was 480 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 2: Chance Adams, Miguel and Duhar and Clint Frasier. I think 481 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 2: the and the Yankees blocked at Chance Adams said that's 482 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 2: a bridge too far for prime Garrett Cole. 483 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 4: Ridiculous, I will say, and I was. We talked about 484 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 4: urgency again, the fact that Cashman. You know what why 485 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 4: Cashman Yankees and cashmanicular don't have any urgency because Cashman 486 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 4: knows he's got that job for life. He doesn't have 487 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 4: to worry, he doesn't have to to think about, oh, 488 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 4: you know, if I do bad the season. No, he 489 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 4: knows he's good for life. And when you become complacent, 490 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 4: these kind of issues arise. 491 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. Here's Brian, and Brian it 492 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 2: takes a little bit of time for him to get 493 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: to his de nu ma here, So we'll just we'll 494 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: let Brian go for a second here. 495 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 7: What's going on. 496 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 5: Derek wanted to show this possible acquisition out there and 497 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 5: wanted to preface it with thinking this is highly unlikely 498 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to happen. Cashman doesn't really 499 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 5: seem too fond of going out into the free agent market. 500 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 5: If anything happens from here on out, I would assume 501 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 5: it's probably a trade. But having said all that, would 502 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 5: you be interested in bringing a player on like a 503 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 5: one year deal, like a Framber Valdez. 504 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 7: To try to shore up the rotation? 505 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 5: I know the guy is pretty much a nutcase, a 506 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 5: hot head, but do you think maybe the possibility of 507 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 5: signing him on a higher aav one year deal would 508 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 5: entice him to try to get his shit together. 509 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 7: And focus for a year, maybe to get that actual heyday. 510 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 7: Because the guy has. 511 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 5: All the talent in the world, and obviously teams are 512 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 5: kind of hesitant. 513 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 7: I'm pulling the trigger on him. But a guy like 514 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 7: that has proven he's a dog in the playoffs and 515 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 7: just wanted to hear your thoughts, would anybody? 516 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think that he is a bit of 517 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: a head case. He's obviously got the talent, but he 518 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: tried to decapitate his catcher because he gave up a 519 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 2: Grand Slam Frankie, I think that would be a problem 520 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 2: in the clubhouse. 521 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think killing your catcher is a good 522 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 4: way to build team morale. 523 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 2: I want your catchers aera Kratz. 524 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, then then I think it's justified. I I don't know, man, 525 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: I mean what I mean, we've we've we've put questionable 526 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 4: people on the in the lineup before, on the rotation before. 527 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 4: So I guess, I mean, does Val any other bad 528 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 4: incident except for that? I mean, it was a bad moment, 529 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 4: But does he have any other like moment of like, oh, 530 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 4: this guy's not as well guy? 531 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: I would imagine that if he does. The Yankees know 532 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: about it. I don't think that they're gonna sign him. 533 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 2: I think somebody will sign him soon. My guess Los 534 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers, because why not. Here's called about David Sampson. 535 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 3: Good Afternoons, Derek. I have a question. I was watching 536 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 3: David Samson's podcast and he says the Yankees are paying 537 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 3: Koley Dellinger forty two million dollars a year for the 538 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 3: first two years before he can opt out. Is that true? 539 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: Yes, it's true. Next call, this is William from Florida. 540 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 9: Wow, I mean the Mets. I have to say they 541 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 9: are doing what they supposed to be doing. They're doing 542 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 9: the right thing they're making moves. As a Yankee fan, 543 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 9: I feel like we are not doing enough. I believe 544 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 9: that we still need more right handed batters in the lineup. 545 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 9: So I want to propose two names to you. Please 546 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 9: tell me how crazy it's this idea. What if the 547 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 9: Yankees go and sign Elhenniel Suarez. He could play some 548 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 9: third base, probably backup Ben right on first base, even 549 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 9: play some dhs. Give him a two three year contract 550 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 9: twenty to twenty five million a year, and then we 551 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 9: also need a right handed backup catcher. What about bringing 552 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 9: back Gary Sanchez just to be a backup. 553 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop you right there. No on Gary Sanchez. 554 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: I'm hard no on that. Uh you, Hennio Suarez. Look, 555 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: I could be talked into you, hen you. Hennio Suarez 556 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: did it forty nine home runs last year. He's not 557 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: a high on base percentage guy, but he drives in runs. 558 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: He does it for power. So like you're just leaning 559 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 2: more into like the power approach you know at the plate, 560 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: can't play defense. If you're gonna play him every day 561 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: at third base, you're gonna get worse defensively. But maybe 562 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 2: a hang on to McCann as like a mcka. I 563 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: did it again, man, Ryan McMahon, I thought I was 564 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: done with that. I would deserve me for that. 565 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 7: No, I. 566 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 2: McK man, if you're going, I hope they trade him, 567 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 2: just so I can stop saying McCann that's the only 568 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: reason I. 569 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 4: Want to try to a guy named McMahon. 570 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 2: Oh God, Frankie, And uh yeah, I would not be 571 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: opposed to keeping McMahon as a defensive specialist, bring him 572 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: in late in the games. But he makes a lot 573 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: of money for that, and I don't think the Yankees 574 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: want to budget that way to get your Johanno Suarez. 575 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 7: Uh. 576 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna have to pay out the you 577 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 2: know you're gonna have to pay out the wazoo. I 578 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 2: know it's probably a short term deal, but you're talking 579 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 2: probably at least twenty plus million, and that would put 580 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: the Yankees over three forty or up close to three forty. 581 00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 2: I don't see him doing it. 582 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 4: No, I don't either. I mean I would, I would 583 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 4: love to have him, but yeah, you wonder his fit 584 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 4: with defensively, But yeah, a bat like that would be 585 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 4: great in pinstripes. But I just don't see them being 586 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 4: able to make it. I mean, Gary Sanchez, dude, come on, like, 587 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 4: was that a troll? 588 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 5: Like? 589 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, remind you reminder that Gary Sanchez is one of 590 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 4: the two or three top reasons why Jojurardi was fired 591 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 4: yees want and why Aaron Boom has brought. 592 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: In because don't smoke crack.
