1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Tonight we are talking trades, and not just trades, blockbuster trades. 2 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: Paul Schemes and Fernando Tattoos, two guys who are superstars 3 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: who could find their way to the Bronx. I am 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: joined by Ryan Garcia of Fireside Yankees, and we're going 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: to try and construct the perfect deal to land both 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: of these guys. Coming up next, this is Pinstrike Territory 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 1: wanted to pook Achol. Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back, and 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: welcome back by popular demand. Mister Ryan Garcia, a Fireside Yankees. 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: How you doing my man? 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: I'm doing good. It's a Friday night. 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: The weather's cooling down, but I actually do like sweater weather, 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 3: so I'm pretty happy. 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: I am too, man. I want to start with a 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: little bit of a funny story here. So back in 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: two thousand and three, I was playing a baseball video 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: game called MVP Baseball. You ever heard of it? Yes, 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: so one of the best baseball games ever. But I 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: was playing MVPO three. It hadn't reached its pinnacle yet, 19 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: and I had constructed a team that had a Rod 20 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: at third base and it had Jeter at shortstop. And 21 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: I distinctly remember my brother Chris walking into the room 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: and he saw me, you know, feel the ball with 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: a Rod at third, and he saw Jeter in the 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: same play, and he said that would never happen. He scoffed, 25 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: he laughed, and he walked out of the room. The 26 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: next February, a Rod was in New York Yankee. So 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: to people who say the things that we talk about 28 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: tonight are crazy, I just want to mention that crazier 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: things have happened. Is there anything that stands out in 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: your mind as being just a crazy deal you never 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: expected to happen. 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: So for the Yankees, I think John Carlos Staton is 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 3: a perfect example. I don't think I ever envisioned John 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: Carlos Stateon ending up a Yankee Unsully ended up a 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: Yankee until that trade occurred. I was under the impression 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: he wasn't gonna ever like, I didn't even think of 37 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: the Yankees in that. And I would also like to 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: throw in here Devers going to the Giants. Did anyone 39 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: ever see that happening? I know that there were some 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: rumors of Devas not being happy with Boston, but in 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: the middle of June, not even at the trade deadline, 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: Devers is gone, just saying. 43 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: And you know, I never thought we'd see Juan Soto 44 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: at twenty five years old, you know, when he was 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: tearing it up with the Nationals. I was never thinking 46 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: that we would see him with the Yankees, you know, 47 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: a couple of years before his contract was up, and 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, he ended up there the trade from the Padres, 49 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: but he got moved to the Padres first. And there's 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: all sorts of echoes of weird trades and weird moves 51 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: throughout history that will probably think of tonight. But I 52 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: want to begin with somebody who's said he wants to 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: be a Yankee. Reportedly pl Skeins. Apparently he wants to 54 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: be a Yankee. Word round the campfires. He was telling 55 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: his teammates he wants to be a Yankee. He said 56 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: that he wants to win a ring with Pittsburgh. But 57 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: to me it was like one of those you know 58 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: you watch a movie and the hostage reads the note 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: like I want ten million dollars. Maybe there was not 60 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: a lot of enthusiasm behind his eyes there. So I'll 61 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: present the case and then I want you to kind 62 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: of break down your thoughts on this. I think MLB 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: wants him out of Pittsburgh. I think everybody makes more 64 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: money if he's pitching in a big market. I will 65 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: borrow a phrase that I saw tonight from Michael Kay 66 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: of a Mona Lisa hanging in a garage. He's a 67 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa hanging in a garage. Basically, Pittsburgh isn't close 68 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: to winning. He's not going to resign there soon. He's 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: going to be making more money. He's won a Rookie 70 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: of the Year and Cy Young in his first two seasons. 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: He's arguably the best all round pitcher in baseball. And 72 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: there are whispers now, but those whispers might get louder 73 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: and the pressure might build for the Pirates to do 74 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: something that's good for baseball here. 75 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: So what is your. 76 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: Take on Paul Schimes? Is this even even something you're 77 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: allowing to creep into your mental space? Well, I think 78 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: a Paul Skiens trade is when, not if, Paul Skiens 79 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: will not be a Pittsburgh Pirate after his contract is 80 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: rookie contract is up. Whether that's because he was traded 81 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: before the end of it, or he stayed somehow through 82 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: six years and will then leave right after that. There 83 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: is no world where Paul Skins retires a Pirate unless 84 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: he retires again after the end of his rookie contract 85 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: for the Pirates, I think on their ends, yes, you 86 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: keep schemes while he's cheap and he's the primary and 87 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: let's be honest, the only draw towards the Pirates right 88 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: now and the only source of revenue for that stadium 89 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: at this moment. 90 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 3: The only reason you would watch the Pirates is to 91 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: watch Paul Skins. We could sit here and talk about 92 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: how they should just invest around him, but they're not 93 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: capable of doing that because they don't want to. We 94 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 3: say it every off season now, every deadline. Why don't 95 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: they invest? Why don't they invest? Why don't they invest 96 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: until the Pirates invest? I'm gonna assume that schemes is 97 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: an matter of when, not if, on the trade front 98 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 3: and for the sport of baseball. If Paul Skins ever 99 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: got to pitch in a playoff game, we talked about this. 100 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: I remember talking about this showhy when he was an 101 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 3: angel man. Could you imagine if he played in the postseason. 102 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 3: Could you imagine if he was pitching in the postseason 103 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: and it was awesome in that same game, Yeah, it 104 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: was like I mean Look, I know that Yankee fans 105 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: may not universally like Shoheo Tani. Watching him hit two 106 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: home runs against the Reds in that Wildcard Series was hilarious. 107 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: That was incredible. Watching him pitch in the NLCS in 108 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: the World Series wasn't a great World Series on the mound. 109 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: But the fact that a guy is pitching and also 110 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: hitting at the same time in the World Series, what 111 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: excuse me? 112 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, when he came out to pitch, he had dirt 113 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: on his uniform, Like how often do you see that? 114 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: You never see that anymore these days, right, I mean, 115 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: he's because he's slid into third base. And I agree 116 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: with you that it's better for the sport when the 117 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: big stars are playing in the postseason. So I want 118 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: to kind of just talk about, like what does a 119 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: trade even look like. Let's just let's just assume for 120 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: a second that the Pirates are gonna yield to the 121 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: pressure and they're gonna admit that they're not in the 122 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: baseball business and that they can't afford this guy when 123 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: he starts to get paid a little bit more. I mean, 124 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: I can't imagine any scenario where the first two names, 125 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: as we said in the green room that come out 126 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: of you know, Charrington's mouth, are not Ben Rice and 127 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: Cam Shutler, because I mean, those are the Yankees' two 128 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: best young pieces that you know, couldn't you can build around. 129 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: But obviously the Yankees would go, oh, let's let's let's 130 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: let's don't negotiate a little bit first, because they're important 131 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: to the Yankees too. So what what is your offering? 132 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: Do you include those guys? 133 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: If I'm the Yankees and I know I'm operating for 134 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 3: both good for the team but also as an owner, 135 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: what's gonna make you the most money? I'm offering Rice 136 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 3: in Schlitler because Paul Skans in the New York Yankees 137 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 3: uniform is perhaps the most marketable thing the Yankees could 138 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 3: possibly have. I mean, think of the amount of revenue 139 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: you're bringing in everything that comes with Paul Skins. 140 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 2: You can increase your payroll. 141 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: Actually, in this trade, your payroll is going down because 142 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: Skeens isn't even arbitration eligible. So I have Ben Rice, 143 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 3: Cam Schlitzler, Will Warren, George Lebarr Junior, and Ben hess 144 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: as my crazy mock trade for the Pirates. You get 145 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: two controllable starting pitchers, one with the upside to be 146 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: a frontline guy in Schlitzler, the other more of a 147 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: back end's gonna give you thirty three starts? What gonna 148 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: keep you from having to pay for pictures on the market. 149 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: That's pretty important. You're saving about ten to twelve million 150 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: dollars instead of going out and trying to sign a 151 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: Zach Gfughlin. You've got a cheap Will Warren for Ben Rice. 152 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: He's immediately your team's best hitter. I mean that's pretty valuable. 153 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: You get five years of him. George Lebarr Junior could 154 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: come up in twenty twenty seven. Ben has similar timeline 155 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: and can be impact guys for you at a cheap cost. 156 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: If you're the Pirates and you're saying, all right, let's 157 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: blow it up like we're not doing anything with Paul Skeens, 158 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: I think it's a pretty competitive offer. I think you 159 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: actually get some semblance of value out of this. You 160 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,119 Speaker 3: could then turn around and say, hey, let's go spend 161 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: the quote unquote thirty million we're gonna spend on our roster, and. 162 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: Let's spend it all on offense. Let's see if he 163 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: could be interesting. 164 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: I still think they would be around I'm gonna be honest, 165 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: I just don't believe thirty million dollars is changing the Pirates. 166 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: They should spend way more. But for the Yankees, sure, 167 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: you lost your. 168 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: Entire farm system basically, but how again, how much money 169 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: is Paul Skin's gonna make the Yankees? 170 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: That's got to be part of this. 171 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: Right, right, I mean you could spend that money elsewhere. 172 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: It would really hurt to lose Cam Shuldly, really hurt 173 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: to lose Ben Rice. But I mean, if Paul Skeen's 174 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: is coming back, it's like it's kind of like you'll 175 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: get over it, you know what I mean, like you 176 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: get over to me get I would? 177 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: I would? 178 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: It would sting. Here's the trade that I wrote down, 179 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: and I want you to just I want to practice 180 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: this by saying I suck at predicting trades, right and 181 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: people some people say I overpay, some people say I underpay. 182 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm almost never directly on, but I agree with you 183 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: in trading some controllable starters. Going back, I'm going for quantity. 184 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm going Louise Heel, I'm going Will Warren, and I'm 185 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: going Carlos Lagroney. Who's you know a prospect on the 186 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: come up. Also, one hundred plus mile a hour fastball 187 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: could convert to a bullpen piece, right, And then I'm 188 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: also giving them George Lombard Junior as a future piece, 189 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: and I'm giving them Spencer Jones as a lottery ticket. 190 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: And my caveat is I'm giving them my entire bonus 191 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: pool whatever the Yankees have left, so that it's kind 192 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: of like a gift card. Right when you don't know 193 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: what to give somebody, he'say, go buy yourself something with 194 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: this nice little Visa gift card. So that's I mean, 195 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: is that outrageous? 196 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: And do you think they would even? 197 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: Do you think they would hang up laughing at that? 198 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: You could argue they'd hang up at both of our 199 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 3: offers laughing. But I would also say, like from an objective, 200 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: just if you were to load this up in a 201 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: like a trade simulator, I'm sure it would at least 202 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: be considered a competitive offer. I think that people don't like. 203 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: The thing with trades is years of control and cheapness matter. Unfortunately, 204 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: we're as Yankee fans, we kind of don't really understand 205 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: the difference between hey, it's ten million dollars, like they 206 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 3: should just pay it. For the Pirates, that's ten percent 207 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: of their payroll at minimum, So in their heads, it's 208 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: okay paying ten million for a starting pitch on the 209 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: market or just having war. And that's significantly more valuable 210 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: for us because that's a lot of cheap cost control. 211 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, if you're the Yankees, 212 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: I just don't think there's a I don't think there's 213 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: a player outside of Aaron Judge that I would would go, oh, 214 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: we can't even talk about this because money for the 215 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 3: Yankees are gonna make a crap ton of money off this. 216 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: And he's a craftsman while also throwing as hard as 217 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: he does. Derek, I don't look at Paul Skeins and go, 218 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: oh yeah, he's all stuff. He doesn't really know where 219 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 3: the ball's going. He's just young and he'll figure it 220 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: out down the road. It's no, he's he's got you know, 221 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: eighty grade stuff, but everything is located perfectly. Look at 222 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: the pitch mix, seven different pitches used at least five 223 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: percent of the time. 224 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: He's Mike Mossina. If Mike Mossina threw one hundred and one, 225 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: that's who he is. 226 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 3: He's like, if you took Max Fried's command in pitchability 227 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: and you combined it with I don't know, think of 228 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: the best stuff, guys, you can think of. 229 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: This guy's unbelievable. Unbelievable. 230 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this does a rotation of Paul 231 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: Skins and a returning you know to health, Garrett Cole 232 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: along with Max Freed and whoever you want to throw 233 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: in there as the number four, whether it's Rodin or 234 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: whatever is I mean, first of all, best rotation in 235 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: the American League. Does that win you're the World Series? 236 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a world Series. I mean 237 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: you almost can construct the line up with extra pieces 238 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: that you find on the market. You've got Aaron Judge, 239 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: You've got You've got Jazz Chislm. I mean, you could 240 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: find pieces to surround those guys and get on base, 241 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: and that pitching will win you the World Series. 242 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: If Max Freed is my Game two starter and Garrett 243 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 3: Coles my Game three starter, Derek, they can put you 244 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 3: at shortstop. 245 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: We're winning the World Series. We're winning the World Series. 246 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: I mean, like, what's a better number two starter out 247 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 3: there than Max Freed and or Garrett Cole? And I 248 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: know for a fact the number three starter. Any other 249 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 3: rotation is it better than those two guys? Paul Skins, 250 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 3: pound for pound, I think on a per start basis 251 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: is the best starter in baseball. I think Schooble's volume 252 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 3: is where I would I would consider taking school, but 253 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: in a World series that doesn't matter. It's per start basis. 254 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 3: I'm taking right like I'm winning game one, Skeens is 255 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: I'm winning game one. Uh, in game two, I've got 256 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: freed Er Cole. I'm confident on winning at least one 257 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: of game two or three. You go up to one 258 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 3: in a World series and you've got Skeens, get another 259 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 3: game in there. I'm winning the World series, man like. 260 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: It's it's that simple. I'm winning the World Series that 261 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: I have that. So that's why there isn't a price 262 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 3: I wouldn't pay. 263 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: Well, well, we'll dreams Yankees fans. And again, I want 264 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: to say to everybody who's watching, who's tuning in, who's saying, 265 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: what are these two guys talking about? Paul Skin is 266 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: not gonna be traded. Crazier things have happened. Roger Clemons 267 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: won two cy Young Awards in a row for a 268 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: division rival and got traded for the number two SI 269 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: Young Award finisher and David Wells the next year after 270 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: the Yankees had already won one hundred and twenty five games, 271 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: and we're returning pretty much the exact same team. That's 272 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: a scenario. It makes no sense whatsoever if you really 273 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: think about it. But hey, worked out won a couple 274 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: more World Series in a row.

Now, 301 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: I remember Fernando Tattoos senior, and that guy could really hit. 302 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: And his son is just as good in terms of power. Now, 303 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: he had some times early on in his career motorcycle accidents, 304 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, steroid usage. He was not mature. I was 305 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: talking to you in the green room and I mentioned 306 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: that over the last couple of years, it feels to 307 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: me like he's matured a little bit, like he's learning 308 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: how to cope if that's the wrong word with being 309 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: rich and famous as an athlete. You know, but these 310 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: guys are always dangerous to bring into New York if 311 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: you've had some kind of sketchy stuff. So I just 312 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: kind of want to get your thoughts on this. The 313 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: Padres are considering a sale, the Seidler family considering a sale. 314 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: And when you are buying a team, you don't want 315 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: to take on an extra three hundred million dollars in 316 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: debt that you owe somebody, right in addition to buying 317 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: this team, you want his little debt to come along 318 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: with that as possible. You want to make it your own. 319 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: It would not shock me if the Padres went to 320 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: Tattoos and said, hey, look we got to move you. 321 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: Where would you be willing to go and for tattoos 322 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: a superstar? 323 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: I think it would be. 324 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: We know he doesn't like la I think it would 325 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: be tough not to say, in New York, I want 326 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: to go play alongside Aaron Judge. Yankees have an opening 327 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: in left field. Does it make any sense to you? 328 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: Are we dreaming big here? 329 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 3: I think again. I would bet on the Padres keeping Tatis. 330 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: That would be my bet. But I think in the 331 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: case of Tatis, there's just always going to be that 332 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 3: question because he does actually make money, and as you 333 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 3: alluded to, the Padres have had financial trouble. Or three 334 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: years now, the Yankees got Juan Soto because the Podjs 335 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: are bleeding money, and we've seen that AJ Preller is 336 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: a crazy GM. He went from all right, I wonder 337 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 3: we're gonna do it to deadline too. I'm trading my 338 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: number three overall prospect in the entire sport for a 339 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 3: closer in Mason Miller, and he's not even gonna close 340 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 3: for us. AJ Preller is crazy. I love AJ Preller 341 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: from an entertainment standpoint. He's crazy. So when you got 342 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 3: a jam like AJ Preller, you gotta assume that anything 343 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 3: is at least a conversation. And so that's why I think, Hey, 344 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: I mean, whether it's this year, next year, the year after, 345 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: I don't think Tatis will get moved, But is it 346 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: a zero percent chance. 347 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's zero percent chance. There's nothing off 348 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: the table. 349 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: One thing that would be interesting though, if that did happen. 350 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't think the price in players going the other 351 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: way would be as high as somebody like a Paul Skeins. 352 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: You could get him just by I mean, how many 353 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: teams can take on a nine year, two hundred and 354 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: ninety million dollar contract that he also would be willing 355 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: to waive his no tid clause to go to. Right, 356 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: I don't see Tatis wanting to go to play in Toronto, 357 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: even though they just made the World Series. He just 358 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a Toronto kind of guy. He seems 359 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: like he wants to be bright lights, big city. 360 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: Right. 361 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: The Yankees Mets probably the only two places I think 362 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: he would consider. Maybe, I mean maybe the Cubs, but 363 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: they're probably a little bit too far away. I mean, 364 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: I think that he would probably want to go play 365 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: for the Yankees or the Mets, and that would limit 366 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: the leverage that the Padres have to ask for a deal. 367 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: Take on all this money. I think the Yankees would 368 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: probably do something kind of like a token good player 369 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: like they gave for a Rod Just you know, trade 370 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: Alfonso Soriano, guy who's coming off of a nearly forty 371 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: forty season, but you know, not great defense and two 372 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: years older than reported at the time. You know, maybe uh, 373 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: maybe you give him Jason Domingez you know, maybe maybe 374 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: you send he's not gonna be playing anyway, if you're 375 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: if you're putting tattoos in left, I would make that deal. 376 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: And I'm a big Dominguez fan, But how how does 377 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: this even? This would this would send ripple effects through 378 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: the lineup in ways that we can't even fathom having 379 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: that another you know, big right handed bat to go 380 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: along with Judge and Stan. 381 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 382 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 3: So the first thing I would do is if I'm 383 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: the Yankees and I'm if I'm Brian Cashman in and 384 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 3: I talked to AJ Preller and he goes, I don't 385 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 3: want to trade tatis, but you know what, what would 386 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 3: you offer? Or I would say to if I'm cash 387 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 3: might go, what what do you want? I'm sure Preler 388 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 3: is gonna say Ben Rice, and I would go, okay, 389 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 3: And if you got Ben Rice, you would one hundred 390 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: percent trade tatis. Like if you got Rice to headline 391 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 3: a package, you would be you would do this. If 392 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 3: Preler says, yes, I'm keeping Rice on the table. I 393 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 3: love Ben Rice. Ben Rice is probably one of my 394 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 3: favorite guys to have watched the prospect then and take 395 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 3: to the big leagues, because if you put him on 396 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: the table. Let's say the Mets, who are they putting 397 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 3: on the table that keeps the Padres offense afloat the 398 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: way that Ben Rice does. 399 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: That's a good point. I mean, we've heard some rumers 400 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: that they could deal Vientos, but he's you know, he 401 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: doesn't change it the way that Rice does, you know, 402 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: and he's too much. 403 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 3: Swing and Miss Rice is a lot of contact, good power. 404 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 3: We've got to think too, from the Padres perspective. When 405 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 3: you look at across the league, you're not going to 406 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 3: get a better header on that kind of contract than 407 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,479 Speaker 3: Ben Rice. And if you're opening up twenty five million dollars, 408 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 3: you don't want to open that. 409 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: You don't want to bring in. 410 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: Arbitration guys either, because that eats into that twenty five 411 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 3: million dollars that you've opened up. You need to spend 412 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 3: all of that on your roster. Rice is I think 413 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand dollars towards the luxury attack, So that's 414 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 3: part of it for me. I'd offer I'd offer Warren 415 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 3: in this because controllable, cheap starting pitcher. 416 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: They need rotation help. 417 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: I would offer Domingas if if that was needed, But 418 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 3: the guy would thrown as the ace in the hole. 419 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: And this feels like a weird one, but I think 420 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 3: you get them to bite on this. Clark Schmidt, He's 421 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: gonna be back at some point this year. The Padres 422 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: could look at themselves and say, we're gonna probably make 423 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 3: the postseason. Schmidt can help our rotation down the stretch, 424 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 3: and we have them for the year after, and to 425 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 3: give them some more or financial flexibility, I would ask 426 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: them for Wantie per Alta back. I think he's a 427 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 3: good enough reliever, that he's an upgrader over what we 428 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 3: already have. And every time he oppos in it tells 429 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 3: me that that he thinks he can't do better on 430 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 3: the market, And for the Padres that might mean they 431 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 3: view him as a negative contract. You get a bullpen edition, 432 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 3: You get, as you mentioned, a legitimate superstar in Tatis. 433 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,719 Speaker 3: I can't even imagine what this team would look like 434 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 3: with Tatis and judging the same lineup. 435 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: And you know what, I would love to have Preller 436 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: as a part of the Yankee organization. Maybe not the GM, 437 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: maybe not the guy making the final calls, because like 438 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: you said, he is kind of a gun slinger. He's 439 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: a little bit he's a little bit too crazy for me, 440 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: but I love his creativity. And if the Padres decide to, 441 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, change everything they say, sell the organization, that 442 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: person's gonna want to bring in their own people, right, 443 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: and so Preller will become available. I would love to 444 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: see him, maybe, you know, find his way into the 445 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: Yankees organization. Thoughts on that. 446 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 3: I would love him to be the devil on Cashman 447 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: Shoulder just kind of haunts over him and go all right, man, 448 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: I know you're saying that's too much, but let's think 449 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 3: about this, all right. 450 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: You know you want that guy, you know you want 451 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: him on your team. Just let him. 452 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: How good at Clint Frazier and Miguel and harr really 453 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: gonna be? Brian? How good are they really gonna be? 454 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: He wouldn't Garrett coleb be nice? Wouldn't Justin Verlander? If 455 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: you have a great deadline edition. 456 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: Oh man, that's the kind. 457 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: Of guy to like sit in a meeting and while 458 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 3: everyone's going, all right, this guy's obviously back, that guy's 459 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 3: obviously back, will go. So guys, if we were to 460 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 3: trade like calls were gone, what are we getting back 461 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: for him and spend that money? 462 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 4: Like? 463 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 3: What could we do with that, and everyone's gonna look 464 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: at him with like he's got like four eyes, or 465 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: like what are you talking about? 466 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 2: But that's the kind of gym he is. 467 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 3: And to his to his credit, man, he knew he 468 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 3: wasn't keeping soda and he built a playoff team that 469 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 3: I thought could have won the World Series in twenty 470 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 3: four and they were still competitive in twenty five. That 471 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 3: is impressive. That guy is impressive to me. He's he 472 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 3: good at scouting. I don't think he's the best gym 473 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 3: in baseball, but I think he's one of the best 474 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 3: to have four winning World Series championship, or at least 475 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 3: for trying to always be in it. He finds prospects 476 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: out of nowhere, Like was it three or four years 477 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 3: ago he dumped his entire farm system. It's for Snell 478 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 3: and for Muskove and all these guys. And yeah, and 479 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: five years later he finds Jackson Merrill. That guy's a 480 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year winner or a Rookie of the 481 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: Year finalist. Last year he has LDV who goes to 482 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: the athletics and gets some Mason Miller. They might try 483 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 3: and start Mason Miller. I mean that organization hats off. 484 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: They are I don't know what they are sometimes, man, 485 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 3: they're crazy. 486 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: They're fun, they're fun, and they're interesting, you know what. 487 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: I think a lot of times in sports just having 488 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: your team be interesting and relevant is a good thing. 489 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: But for the Yankees, we're always going to be that. 490 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: So we want we want to win, we want that 491 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: next level super because no matter what the Yankees do, 492 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: they're all always a story.
