1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're better, but I think Plan

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: B is going to be a fun team to watch.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: They're going to win, hopefully in a different way.

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 3: Hey, we know this guy, Derek LEWANDASKI joining us right now,

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 3: the host and big man of Pinstripe Territory. So Derek,

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: good to see you. And obviously before we get into

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 3: the Yankees team storylines, which we felt like was the

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: natural fit of team for you to cover on this one,

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: I just want to shout out the work you do

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 3: behind the scenes, specifically even with these team storylines. So

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: if you want to lay out how we're going to

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: end up having one for every team and that people

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: can just kind of roll through one by one if

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: they missed any of them.

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: Well, you know, as somebody who covers one team, I

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: just find it useful when there's recaps of all the

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: other stuff that goes on in the league. And who

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: better to provide that than us. So we've got this

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: playlist set up that you can go find right there

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: on our Foul Territory homepage that's got team previews for

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: everybody we've done so far. Rangers, Diamondback, White Sox, Reds, Et, cetera,

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: and Yankees will be obviously added to that today, and

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna roll all of these thirty teams out over

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: the course of the next month, so that headed into

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: the season, everybody can be up to date on all

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: the major storylines that we're gonna be covering here on

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Foul Territory this summer.

28
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are people that'snooze in the offseason, although less

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: and less these days because it's so easy to follow

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 3: with a number of different platforms insiders working every day

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: for you. But still, if you feel like you need

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: a refresher course on who's on what team and what

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: the pressing storylines are, that's what we're here for. So

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: let's hit the Yankee storylines. Police. The four big ones

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: we're going over today is rebuilding post one year of

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: Juan Soto with additions like Bellinger and gold Schmidt in

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: the lineup, Aaron Judges response after not getting the job

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: done in the postseason, and the big drop in the

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: World Series. We've got the emergence of Jason Dominguez to

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: cover and Max Freed year one in that starting rotation.

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: So Derek, let's start with the big storyline. It was

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: Mets versus Yankees for Juan Soto and our free eight

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: or our storylines front ends, our animation that goes into

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: this always starts with a very painful image of Soto

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: in a Mets uniform. So what did you think of

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: all of that? And do you really believe that the

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: New York Yankees are a better club without Juan Soto?

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: First off, what a beautiful introduction.

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: We should give the guy who made that a raise,

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: that Sodo graphic and all that stuff. But you know,

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I was, as I mentioned last time, I was not

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: on the side of giving him seven hundred and sixty

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: million dollars. I just thought it would handcuff the Yankees. We'

54
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: We're already hearing Steinbrenner complain about other teams spending, so

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: we know if he gives out a huge contract like

56
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: that to Juan Soto, he's not doing anything else. I

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: don't know if we're better, but I think Plan B

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: is going to be a fun team to watch. They're

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna win, hopefully in a different way than they won

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: last year. A more complete team that doesn't necessarily rely

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: on the explosive tandem at the top of the order,

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: but maybe mixes in a few more veteran bats. You know,

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Bellinger and Goldschmidt are going to shake things up for sure,

64
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: but they also need some of the younger guys to

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: take a step forward. Austin Wells had a two month

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: period last year where he was outstanding ops around nine hundred.

67
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: Can he maintain that a little bit more this year?

68
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi was hitting around three hundred. In June, he

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: had a thirty four game on base streak. He seized

70
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: that leadoff spot, but then he relented it as the

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: season went on. You know, the training wheels are off.

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: This is year three for Anthony Volpi. Will he be

73
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: able to step up and recapture that leadoff spot and

74
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: be the guy that we've all hoped he would become,

75
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: which is that spark plug at the top of the order.

76
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Another guy I know we're going to talk about later,

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: which is Jason Dominguez. He's replacing Alex Verdugo in left field,

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: and he's been one of these guys who's been hyped

79
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: for years, partially because of me, but I really believe

80
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: in him, and I think that, you know, the conglomerate

81
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: of all of these guys could put the Yankees in

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: a position where they're very close to what they were

83
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: last year, if not better.

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that kind of goes in my next our

85
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: next topic. What we're talking about the Martian Dominguez. Everybody

86
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: has expectations going into every year. What are your expectations

87
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 4: of him? And is he gonna live up to those expectations.

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I've been following Domingez for a long time.

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Yankees gave him almost their entire international bonus pool budget

90
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: right around the time I was starting a podcast, So

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: he was somebody that I kind of fixated on, like,

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna follow this guy. I had this

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: whole thing called the Martian Tracker. He was getting comps

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: to Mickey Manno and Mike Trout, which is not unusual

95
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: for prospects.

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: But you know, he.

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Comes up to the major leagues and in his first

98
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: week he does things that only Mickey Manno did in

99
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: his first week in the major league. So the hype

100
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: seemed real for a minute. Then he gets Tommy John surgery.

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: He missed almost all of last year, but if you

102
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: look at his minor league numbers, they got better and

103
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: better and better. And from what we hear scouts talk

104
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: about this guy. He's one of these people who learns

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: very fast and adapts very quickly. Now, he had some

106
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: issues defensively last year. I'm more worried about that than

107
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: I am his offense. The right side of the bat,

108
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: could you know, right side of the plate could use

109
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: some work. He's a switch hitter, but he's much better

110
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: from the left side. But look, you know, we're setting

111
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: high expectations for him, and the Yankees are putting a

112
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: lot of eggs in that basket. There's no safety in

113
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: that here. He's got to go out and get it done.

114
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that he will get it done.

115
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: You know.

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: To borrow a phrase from the UFO poster. You know,

117
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: since we're talking about the Martian, I want to believe.

118
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 5: Well. I want him to do well so that your

119
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 5: show does well. Since you have brought the Martian to

120
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 5: the people. I appreciate hearing that, all right, he Aron Judge.

121
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge wins a third MVP this year and struggles

122
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: in the playoffs again. Will there be a breaking point

123
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: for Yankees fans or will it not matter?

124
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: As someone who interacts with Yankees fans on a daily basis,

125
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: I could tell you that last year seemed like it

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: was pretty close to the breaking point, if not over

127
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: the breaking point. I'm interested to see the reception he's

128
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna get this year, especially if he gets off to

129
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: another slow start like he had in April of last year.

130
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: Look, Judge is statistically elite. He's a physical anomaly. He's

131
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: an amazing representative of the Yankees franchise. He's probably gonna

132
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: hit five hundred or more home runs, but he's in

133
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: danger of being one of those great regular season players

134
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: who never wins a title. Griffy Bonds another Yankees captain,

135
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: don Maddingly, but Donnie Baseball had one shot at the

136
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: postseason and really performed well. Judge got off to.

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: A couple of decent starts in the postseason early on

138
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: in his career, but as his statistics have gotten better

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: in the regular season, he has faded a little bit

140
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and they've, you know, basically the Yankees

141
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: fans have grown frustrated with that. One of the things

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in in watching as a fan and

143
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: covering as a podcaster is if there's a tangible shift.

144
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: In how Aaron Judge goes about his business.

145
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: He's always very stoic, you know, I want to see

146
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: that Tiger Woods on Sunday with the red shirt attitude.

147
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: I want to see Jordan against the Pistons in ninety one.

148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: I want to see that side of Aaron Judge. I

149
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: want him to prove that he's one of the all

150
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: time greats by having that nine a rod postseason this

151
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: year and putting the Yankees on his back, because I

152
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: keep saying, one of the things that really hurts Judge

153
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: and really affected him last year is that the Yankees

154
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: lost Game three of the ALCS. You remember, he had

155
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: that big home run against Emmanuel Classe to tie the game.

156
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Stanton puts him ahead with a go ahead homer, but

157
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: they blew the game. If they had won that game,

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: I feel like the entire universe could have shifted in

159
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: a different way for the Yankees last year. I feel

160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: like he could have gotten hot. He would have been

161
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: emotional and riding that high and the pressure would have

162
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: been off. But the next day the pressure was back

163
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: and he struggled, and so the pressure continued until the

164
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: final game of the World Series. And look, I just

165
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: want to see how he approaches it this year with

166
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: all of this. I guess negative response over how he

167
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: performed in the postseason.

168
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 5: Thanks for the perfect lead into my next question. We

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 5: got new guys on this roster. They can look right

170
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 5: to Aaron Judge and say, Wow, this dude crushes New York.

171
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: He handles everything so well, the good, the bad. How

172
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 5: are Max Freed, Cody Bellinger, and Paul Goldschmidt going to

173
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 5: fare in the I got it here the Bronx Zoo

174
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 5: shirt on. How are they going to handle that pressure

175
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 5: that some people fade under? And there's there one guy

176
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 5: of those three that you're like, I'm a little worried

177
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 5: about the pressure.

178
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't really worry about the pressure of those guys.

179
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: It seems like, you know, Max Freed is built for

180
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: New York. He seems like a very confident guy. Paul

181
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: Goldschmidt's the consummate professional, he's been a steady rock. And

182
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger's playing for a contract. Devin Williams also a

183
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: new guy. I think he's probably facing the most pressure

184
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: because there's such little room for error as a closer.

185
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: You blow a couple of games early and that New

186
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: York crowd can turn on you, and not everybody comes

187
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: back from that. But I think he'll do fine. I mean,

188
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: you know how nasty he is. I like the addition

189
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: of Max Freed. Everything I hear about him from the

190
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: guys over at Hammer Territory is that he was a

191
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: fan favorite, that he'll handle New York just fine. There's

192
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: some concerns about his health, but I don't concern myself

193
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: with that because we can't control it, and every pitcher

194
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: faces health issues. Anybody could snap an elbow at any

195
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: given point. But I think that the pendulum has swung

196
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: for how the Yankees are trying to win, from an

197
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: offensive minded team to a team that's more focused on

198
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: pitching and defense. And while they not, they might not

199
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: be as exciting to watch. I think they might I

200
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: do a lot more winning of like close games and

201
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, making big plays in the big spot. And

202
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to see this team get back to

203
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: playing baseball again and not necessarily focused on being a

204
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: home run juggernaut.

205
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be a more aesthetically pleasing brand

206
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: of baseball for the Yanks.

207
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 5: Now.

208
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean they're a better team than last year.

209
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: I don't know.

210
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: They're at least in that same range. But also, I mean,

211
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: the American League should be at least a little bit better.

212
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: The division should be a little bit better. Let me

213
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: finish with a bonus question here, because I would take

214
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 3: consensus from the crowd wanting to know your answer. And

215
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: I know you did an episode on this on Pinstripe Territory,

216
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: but let's get your quick thoughts here. What did you

217
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: think of al Steinberner's comments about, you know, the Dodgers

218
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: being the essentially big bad Dodgers. Now, it's funny, just

219
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: an ironic for me growing up in the New York

220
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: City area in Jersey right nearby, and all these Yankee

221
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: fans saying, oh, we're the evil Empire. They're not the

222
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: evil Empire anymore. The Dodgers are.

223
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: Well.

224
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: He said that a lot of us owners can't do

225
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: what the Dodgers are doing. And I think it's interesting

226
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: that he puts himself in there with other owners when he's,

227
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, the owner of the most valuable franchise in

228
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: the sport that I just say, prove it. I say

229
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: prove it. If you want to prove that you can't

230
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: compete with the Dodgers, open up your books, show us

231
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: that you're not making money. I know the Yankees have

232
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: a large payment that they're still paying down the stadium.

233
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: It's like thirty million dollars a year.

234
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: They're still paying some old contracts, you know, Aaron Hicks,

235
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: and some bad investments and things like that, but they

236
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: also have an enormous amount of worldwide revenue. What I

237
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: think he meant to say, what a more precise thing

238
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: to say would have been, is that we can't do

239
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: exactly what the Dodgers are doing and make exactly the

240
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: same profit that we've gotten used to. I think that

241
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: would have been a much more accurate and honest answer.

242
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, more of a business acumen answer. So it

243
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: certainly was not construed correctly to like, bunch yourself in

244
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: a group with some of the other ball clubs that

245
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: definitely do nice swing like that they can do the

246
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: same swinging that the Dodgers can do. All right, so

247
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. Obviously, everyone go check out Pinstripe

248
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: Territory from our crowd for more on the Yanks and

249
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: more even on that storyline that many of you were

250
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: asking about. There it is. There's Derek with the big

251
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: hat and a lot of I know, a lot of

252
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: work in the off season, a lot of hustle to

253
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: put together some special some special treats, some special additions

254
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 3: to PT coming up this season. He's on after every post,

255
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 3: post game, after every game, Thanks Derek talks to him.

256
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: Bud appreciate it, guys,
