1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Wanted to cook. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 2: It's all. 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 3: How's it going? Everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. This has 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 3: officially been the slowest hot stove in recent memory. Baseball 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 3: continuing to shoot itself in the foot by allowing very 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 3: little to happen, not only at the winter meetings, but 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 3: pretty much nothing has happened since. And a lot of 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 3: the talk around my holiday gatherings, and I'm sure you 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 3: guys experienced similar things, which was what are the Yankees 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 3: are gonna What are the Yankees gonna do? Are they 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 3: gonna do anything? Why haven't they done anything? And I 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: didn't have an answer. The only positive is that at 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: least January and February should be a bit more exciting 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 3: than usual. Usually nothing happens in January, very little anyway, 15 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: But there's still a lot of good free agents available. 16 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 3: I'll talk about all of that. Plus Tatsuya Emi is 17 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: running up against the deadline. He's apparently meeting with teams 18 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 3: out there in Los Angeles. And we've got a great 19 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 3: comment here from the Safe Situation says, can't wait for 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 3: the official Ahmed Rosario introduction conference at Yankee Stadium. Getta 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: do a live show, Sorry, no live show for Ahmed Rosario. 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: But I do think the Yankees are gonna make some moves. 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: I think they're much more likely to make a trade 24 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: than to sign a big free agent at this point. 25 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: Just from watching Cashman all these years and how he 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: likes to operate, I just think that he's much more 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: likely to try and make a trade because you can 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 3: somehow offset a little bit of salary. And it seems 29 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: like the Yankees are very very concerned with the finances 30 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: right now. They are very concerned, probably because of the lockout. 31 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: We're gonna talk that, we're gonna talk about the impending lockout, 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: We're gonna take some voicemails, all that good stuff. But 33 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 3: it feels like hal Steinbrenner just does not want to 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: open up the wallet this winter for whatever reason. And 35 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: it's a shame because there's a lot of good free 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: agents still out there. Let's talk about him now. Brian 37 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: Cashman entered this winter by saying he wanted to add 38 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 3: a right handed bat. He wanted to add some thump 39 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 3: and give kat and give Aaron Boone some options. And 40 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: to be fair, he did bring back Amed Rosario. So 41 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: there's your right handed bat. But technically the Yankees are 42 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: a worse team than they were at the end of 43 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: the season. They have done very very little. They haven't 44 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: brought in anybody outside the organization, aside from the rule 45 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: five pick. Caid winquest is I he he say his name? 46 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: I don't say his name. Rosario officially on the forty 47 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 3: man roster now, though not could get anybody too excited. 48 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: Jose Cabaero probably your starting shortstop as Waldo Cabrera coming back. 49 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: Ryan McMahon two fourteen hitter. I mean, there's just not 50 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: a lot to be excited about with this offense right now, 51 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 3: other than maybe judge, you know, maybe Spencer Jones becomes 52 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 3: the next judge who knows. Dominguez could take a big 53 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 3: step forward. Grisham could have another big year. You know, 54 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: we do have some young pitching that's looking pretty good. 55 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: Cam Schlittler could be already made ace. Chase Hampton's coming 56 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: back from Tommy John surgery. Of course, Clark Schmidt out 57 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: for the season, pretty much might come back in September. 58 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: So the forty man roster at this point could use 59 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: a little bit of a tune up. Jake Bird, by 60 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: the way, best beard on the team. Luiso, who knows 61 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: what you're gonna get out of him. But right now 62 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: the roster does not look too promising, and there are 63 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: lots of good free agents still available, And if you 64 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: believe John Hayman, Cody Bellinger remains the Yankees' top target. 65 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: I mean, take everything you hear from Hayman with a 66 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: grain of salt. But Bellinger two seventy two to twenty 67 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: nine home runs last year. When you look at the splits, 68 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: you notice that he hit much better against left e 69 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: three fifty three average with a one point zero one 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: six ops against lefties twenty one of his twenty nine 71 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: home runs against ridies. Though he hit great at Yankee Stadium, 72 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: hit over three hundred at Yankee Stadium with an OPS 73 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: over nine hundred, not quite as good on the road. 74 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 3: That could hurt him in free agency with teams other 75 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: than the Yankees. And this is a guy who is 76 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: still just thirty years old, so he's got, you know, theoretically, 77 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: plenty of life left in him. Former MVP, multi time 78 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: All Star, Home Run Derby winner, Rookie of the Year 79 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: Gold Glove winner. I mean, this is stuff, but he 80 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 3: will block him. I guess Bobashett is still out there. 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: Three to eleven hitter this year. Would much rather have 82 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: him playing third base than Ryan McMahon. He's told teams 83 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: he's willing to play second base, but the Yankees have 84 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: a second basement in Jazz Chisholm. If the Yankees swing 85 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: a trade and they deal Jazz Chislm, Bobashett for second 86 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: base makes a lot of sense if he's willing to 87 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 3: do it. This is the guy who hit three hundred 88 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: on the road, hit three twenty two at home with 89 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: the friendly turf. Be interesting to see what happens where 90 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: he lands. I'm surprised that Blue Jays haven't brought him 91 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 3: back yet. Then you got Alex Bragman still out there. 92 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 3: Had a decent year with the Boston Red Sox two 93 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: seventy three with eighteen home runs eight twenty two ops. 94 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: I expected bigger numbers in Boston. Maybe that's why his 95 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: contract has not happened yet. This guy did not hit 96 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: as well against righty's two fifty six, but still at 97 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 3: eight o nine ops hit three nineteen against lefties. I mean, 98 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 3: there's your your thump against lefties. And I know he's 99 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: had his issues with the Yankees with the whole cheating scandal. 100 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 3: And some people will never forgive him for that, and 101 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: I don't blame you, but I'm just saying there are 102 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: guys out there, and if you want to add like 103 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 3: another platoon bat, would you rather have J or J. 104 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: C Ascara or would you rather have J. T real 105 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: Muto two fifty seven to twelve, home run six ninety 106 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 3: nine ops, but still commands the running game behind the dish, 107 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: still a good catcher. And then you got Miguel and 108 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: Duhar still out there. I've been advocating to bring Miggy 109 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: back into the fold. He could platoon in left field, 110 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 3: help you with Domingos, and then you don't need to 111 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: spend big in the outfield. Then you can maybe spend 112 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 3: on pitching. Framber Valdez is still out there, thirteen and 113 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: eleven with a three point six this year. Now, he 114 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: did peg his catcher in the face intentionally, no doubt 115 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 3: about it. He says it's a mistake. I call bullshit. 116 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: But he's out there. There's a lot of guys out there. 117 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: I still think the guy to go after is Tatsuya 118 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: am I, who has a deadline coming up here. We 119 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: have reports that he's meeting with teams in La He's 120 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: also said he wants to beat the Dodgers. So I 121 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: think it's just because of where his agent's office is. 122 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: I don't think it's any correlation with all I'm hanging 123 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: around with LA teams. I think it's just where his 124 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: agents are. But he's meeting with teams. Early on in 125 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: free agency, the Yankees and the Cubs were rumored to 126 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: be the top two. Is hurt. We got a report 127 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: here that am I to the Phillies four years eighty million. 128 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: I haven't seen that yet. I think that might be 129 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: fake news. He just somebody hopeful, wishful thinking. I don't 130 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: see it. I'm looking at the uh, I'm looking at 131 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: the stats or the feed here, and I think that's 132 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: fake news. So I gonna go ahead and call that 133 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: fake news anyway. Jack Curry said recently that the Yankees 134 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: probably not in on am I, and I believe if 135 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: anybody has the pulse of the Yankees and what they're 136 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: really up to, Jack Curry is the guy. I've had 137 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: Jack Curry on the show two times. I've chatted with 138 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 3: him a number of times on Twitter. He's just a really, 139 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 3: really nice guy. I guarantee he's texting with Cashman and 140 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: other people in the front office and saying things like, 141 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: you know, what's your favorite band? How about this Bob 142 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: Dylan song I love the Clash? And by the way, 143 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: are the Yankees gonna sign Tatsuya Emi? This is this 144 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: a guy who loves to chat. He's a good, friendly guy, 145 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: gets along with everybody. I believe that he's a great 146 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 3: reporter for that reason. He's able to heasel information out 147 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: of guys. So if Curry says the Yankees are not 148 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 3: in on m I I believe him. But I think 149 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: he's being slept on a lot of these Japanese pictures. 150 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 3: I know that they've had some health issues, but they 151 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 3: have come over and done well. I want to talk 152 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: about show to Imanaga, somebody we talked about. I was 153 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: dead wrong on him. I wanted the Yankees to stay 154 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: away from him. And he has actually succeeded quite well 155 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 3: with the Cubs. Now this year a little bit of 156 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 3: a step back three point seven to three era, but 157 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 3: he started off his career with the Cubs in America 158 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 3: quite well. He was really really good. This year, not 159 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 3: quite as good, but he still had health Hitters to 160 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: to eighteen patting average struggled a little bit at Wrigly, 161 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: A lot of pictures struggle at Wrigglely doesn't strike out 162 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: quite a hitter per inning, but I think he's a 163 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 3: solid picture. If you know, he got extended the qualifying 164 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: offer and he took it much like Trent Grisham did, 165 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: and if he had passed on it, I would have 166 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 3: been all in favor for the Yankees to get him. 167 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: Code Ki Sango is another guy who was kind of 168 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 3: slept on, and we know he's put up some good 169 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 3: numbers with the Mets. Now his problem has been health. 170 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 3: His problem has been staying on the field. But this 171 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 3: year when he was on the field, he was good 172 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: seven and six three point zero two Era Righty's hitches 173 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 3: two nine against him with a six sixty two ops 174 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: left these a little bit better seven to fifty five ops, 175 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: but still very reasonable. And I'm a fan of watching 176 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: Japanese pitchers. I just think the entertainment value is there. 177 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 3: So hopefully the Yankees are in on m I I 178 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 3: guess we'll find out in the next couple days because 179 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: I think his deadline is coming up here on the second. 180 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: I do think that just knowing that the Yankees have 181 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 3: expressed money concerns. The more likely scenario is that they 182 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: make a trade. I don't know if they're going to 183 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 3: sign a big guy, big you know, two hundred million 184 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 3: dollar deal. They might take on a two hundred million 185 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 3: dollar contract because then another team eat part of it, right. 186 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: That's why I think somebody like Corey Seeger or Fernando 187 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 3: Tattos could ultimately be a possibility. 188 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: You know. 189 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: Tattoos twenty five homers, eight fourteen ops, he's still young, 190 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 3: thirty stolen basis, thirty two stolen bases last year, good 191 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: on base percentage, elite outfielder, got a couple of platinum gloves. 192 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 3: The guy's a stud, and he would change the organization 193 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: the way a Rod changed the organization, maybe in a 194 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: better way, maybe in the same kind of way where 195 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 3: he's kind of an interesting cat. But I think he 196 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 3: would be awesome for the lineup. You know, he'd be 197 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 3: one of those rare guys that'd be okay with trading 198 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: Dominguez for because Domingez, we would only hope that he 199 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: could become the player that Tattoos has been. And he's 200 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: still young. He doesn't turn twenty seven until tomorrow, So 201 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: happy early birthday for tattoos, maybe you're coming to New York. 202 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: And there's also Cory Sieger, who we've seen the Yankees 203 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 3: linked to a little bit this winter. You know, he 204 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 3: had some down the stretch here, but another solid year 205 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 3: two seventy one to twenty one home runs, eight sixty ops. 206 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: He's lost a little bit of mobility, a little bit 207 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: of speed, but still a very good player. Doesn't hit 208 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 3: lefties quite as well as right He's hit two ninety 209 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: eight versus right He's hit two twenty two versus lefties. 210 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: So I think that there's opportunity out there if Cashman 211 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: wants to make a deal to go out and get somebody. 212 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: But I'm sure that he's gonna try and get another 213 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: contract off the books in that kind of deal. I 214 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: wish there was a team that was willing to take 215 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 3: John Carlos Stanton. I love big G. Big G is 216 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 3: one of my favorite players, but I think time is 217 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: catching up with big G and big numbers this year 218 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 3: two seventy three to twenty four home runs, but he's 219 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 3: gonna get hurt every year. He's unreliable, and this year 220 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 3: he didn't do anything in the playoffs, which has been 221 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: his biggest I guess his biggest positive is that he's 222 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 3: been super clutch for the Yankees, and this was his 223 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 3: best offensive ear with the Yankees maybe since twenty eighteen 224 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 3: when they first got me at thirty eight home runs, 225 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: didn't do much on the road, hits better at Yankee Stadium, 226 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 3: no trade clause and a big contract, and he runs 227 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 3: slower than a piano slow, So that's a little for 228 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: Adian slip there. So I don't see a team taking him. 229 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 3: I mean, Jazz is maybe a move you can make, 230 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: but he doesn't make that much money. So really it's 231 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: come down to Cashman putting this team in a position 232 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 3: where it's difficult to improve the roster without signing and 233 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: cashing a big check. And I think how and some 234 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: other teams might be hesitant to spend because of this 235 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: looming lockout and the end of the collective bargaining agreement. 236 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: We got a voicemail about that. 237 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, Jason and Allentown loving your winter content. 238 00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 5: Man. 239 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 4: Shame that Yankees aren't given us much more, But I'm 240 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 4: glad that I get to tune into your podcasts whenever 241 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 4: you upload, and them watching your podcast tonight, I feel 242 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 4: like something that's not being mentioned with all of this 243 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 4: in action, not just by the Yankees, but in general. 244 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 4: You know the fact that a lot of these top 245 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 4: tier free agents didn't get signed at the winter meetings, 246 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 4: and you know, I think it's a large unwillingness to 247 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 4: go all in on players because of the current climate, 248 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 4: you know, with the impending lockout that everybody's you know, 249 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 4: anticipating for next season, with the you know, negotiations between 250 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: the players and all that stuff. I feel like that's 251 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: probably a lot to do with it, because we don't 252 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 4: know what salary caps and what's going to happen and 253 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 4: next year's negotiations. You know, everybody's saying that there's going 254 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 4: to be a lockout. So I think that's why there's 255 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 4: kind of a standoff right now. 256 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think that the uncertainty surrounding 257 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: basically the collective bargaining agreement, potential salary cap, potential salary floor, 258 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: all of that stuff is holding back the Yankees from 259 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: making any big moves and holding back up two reactions. 260 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: We've got some other calls here. Let me go ahead 261 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: and play this one on Brian Byron Buxton. 262 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, So we all know that the Yankees want 263 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: to keep going trying to get more right handed and 264 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: more athletic. And we all know that top Tias is 265 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: the pipe dream. But another player that I was thinking 266 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: is kind of underrated. I don't know if they might 267 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: be able to come up, is do you think that 268 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: they'd be interested in picking up a Byron Buston in 269 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: a trade, maybe formed some sort of package. A guy 270 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: that's making fifteen million can play center field. That way 271 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: you can slide Risham into left field and see what 272 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: sort of platoon you can work with the Martians for 273 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: fifteen million a year. Or would you consider making a 274 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: trade for Byron Buxton and getting yourself owned? 275 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 3: I would consider. I mean, here's the problem with Byron Buxton. 276 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: It's that he has had difficulties staying healthy in his career. 277 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: And that's that's putting it lightly. But this year he 278 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 3: still compiled thirty five home runs. He was mostly healthy. 279 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 3: But every year he runs into some kind of physical ailment. Now, 280 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: maybe this year he applied some of that logic that 281 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: you know Jazz Chisholm did, where it was you know, 282 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna play at seventy percent. You know, sometimes these 283 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: super athletes, you know, they push the limits of the 284 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: human body beyond where it's supposed to go, and then 285 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: it starts to break right. I mean, that's that's kind 286 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: of what Byron Buckston does. He's a freak athlete, a 287 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: freak athlete. But I mean, if you look at his 288 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 3: his numbers this year, he was just he was terrific, 289 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 3: thirty five home runs. I worry about him getting hurt. 290 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: That would be a risky, risky move, risky move. I 291 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 3: take another voice from Florida. 292 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, this is Stay from Florida, the guy who 293 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: you called insane because I wanted to get cal Raleigh 294 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: and you said it's impossible, and you laughed and said 295 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 2: it was the dumbest trade you could even think of. Well, 296 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: Cashman was listening to me, and Cashcott inspired, and he's 297 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: going to make the deal. That's why you haven't heard 298 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 2: anything from the Yankees. They're working on Raleigh for Austin Wells, 299 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 2: Stephen Jones, Louis Heel and the fourth player that they're 300 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: arguing about his clerk Schmidt. Tell me what you think 301 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: about that back. 302 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 3: I think the crack is whack and I think you 303 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 3: shouldn't smoke it. So this is a true story. Frankie 304 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: Baseball is my assistant here at Pinstrike territory, has been 305 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: since we were yy recaps, and he helps out a lot, 306 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 3: and I couldn't do any of this without him. And 307 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 3: he and I after that call, had a little brainstorming 308 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: session and we decided that we were going to invent 309 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 3: the Don't Smoke Crack Hall of Fame for the worst 310 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 3: calls of all time, and this was gonna be the 311 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: first inductee. And I was. You caught me by surprise 312 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 3: by calling back so soon. I didn't expect you to 313 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 3: call in again so soon because I'm not ready with it. 314 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 3: I wanted to induct you with a proper ceremony, but 315 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 3: we have to go ahead and induct you. 316 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: Now. 317 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: Appreciate the call, but do not smoke with the drag fight. 318 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: It's just to relax, all right. Let's take it on 319 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 3: the one. Here's Brian. 320 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 5: What's going on, Derek. I'm sitting here anxiously wait in for. 321 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: I'm not hearing it on my end, so I'm gonna 322 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 3: restart it. 323 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 5: What's going on, Derek? I'm sitting here waiting for any 324 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 5: my news, hoping that he's gonna come to the Yankees. 325 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 5: But the further it goes and all the information that 326 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 5: comes out, I'm beginning to think they're not gonna grab him. 327 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: It's just too much of a high risk play for 328 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 5: these guys, I think. And this is the take I 329 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 5: was really calm about. And you can tear me up 330 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 5: if you want, because I'm sure no one's gonna want 331 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: to hear this. But it seems like this is just 332 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 5: my opinion that the Yankees are kind of nervous about 333 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 5: any longer term contracts with possibly the looming players decision 334 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 5: here coming up I think next season honestly, so they're 335 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 5: not doing any long term deals. I would be interested 336 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 5: to see if they try to offer somebody like and 337 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 5: this is what we like here, Lucas Gilda, who grossly 338 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 5: underperformed for Boston due to injury and other things. But 339 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 5: maybe a by low scenario approve it deal on a 340 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 5: one year type of type of deal to try to 341 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 5: fill the gap. Maybe be that fourth fifth starter. Wanted 342 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 5: to hear what you thought of that? 343 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 3: All right? Man, you sound like a guy who understands 344 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 3: Brian Cashman, maybe because you got the same name. Uh, 345 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 3: that's the exact type of move that Brian Cashman will 346 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: make there's another call. 347 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 5: Hey Derek, what about Joey Gallo for our bullpen? 348 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 3: You know what, we now have two inductees. Smoke crack. 349 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: All right, let's go ahead and wrap it up. I 350 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 3: want to get some predictions here from you guys. A 351 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: lot of people in the chat saying that the Yankees 352 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: are gonna do nothing, but drop your prediction in the chat, 353 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go ahead and say that the Yankees 354 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 3: are gonna make a trade. I think it's gonna be 355 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 3: someone unexpected, but a mega deal, like a big blockbuster trade, 356 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: because they're gonna need to unload some salary there. That's 357 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 3: they don't want to sign any big deals. So my 358 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: prediction is that over the next thirty days or so, 359 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 3: mega blockbuster trade by the Yankees. Uh and Jad Dovas's 360 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 3: bargain bin right on brand. Jack Wagner says Yankees worried 361 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: about salary issues caused by their own GM So yeah, 362 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 3: get those get those predictions in the chat, in the comments, 363 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 3: and I want to show you guys a few more 364 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 3: updates here that we're working on for the Postgame show 365 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 3: coming up next year.

I've been working 369 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 3: on making all of the textures a little bit better, 370 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 3: all of the text the appropriate side, all of that 371 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 3: good stuff. And again this is all placeholder type of stuff. Uh, 372 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: but this is what I've been working on while the 373 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 3: Yankees aren't having me produce content right now. Also, pitcher Spotlight. 374 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 3: We're gonna have all sorts of stuff we're gonna keep 375 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: track of, you know, top v low number of widths. 376 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: We're gonna have leader boards for most widths in a 377 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 3: game by the Yankee starting pitchers.

Lauri c says we 404 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 3: need the crack Pipe Update of the Week award. Yeah, 405 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 3: and then Lewis Hernandez says the Yankees owner is not 406 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: like his father you know, that's something I see a 407 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 3: lot is that, you know, George would have done this, 408 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: George would have done that. But a lot of people 409 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: forget the Yankees actually got better and rebuilt after George 410 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 3: had to step away because he got suspended. It really was, 411 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 3: you know, it was the Gene Michaels and his staff 412 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 3: and the Buck Show Walters. They rebuilt the Yankees. They 413 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: rebuilt the Yankees and the Miners. They kept their homegrown guys. 414 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 3: So maybe that's kind of, you know, what we should 415 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 3: hope happens. You know, maybe that's maybe that's the route 416 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 3: that Hal's trying to go. But you know, we're coming 417 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 3: up on now. It's gonna be seventeen years if the 418 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: Yankees don't win this year without a World Series, or 419 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 3: sixteen something, twenty nine to twenty twenty six. Anyway, I'm 420 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 3: bad at numbers, and you know, by the way, I 421 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: have been working unlike the Yankees. So I'm quite tired. 422 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 3: But this is the final show of the twenty twenty 423 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 3: five calendar year, unless the Yankees make a move tomorrow, 424 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 3: which I'm not expecting, but am I could be a 425 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 3: possibility because he's got that deadline coming up, so I 426 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 3: want to thank everybody who was a part of the 427 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 3: show this year, everybody who called in, even the people 428 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 3: smoking crack.
