1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Him to pull ketch old. How's it going? How's it going? 2 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: So we have some late breaking news that just happened 3 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. One of the Yankees' plans B 4 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: plans plural was Willia Damas signing him to, you know, 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: possibly fill one of the infield spots, whether it was 6 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: third base, whether it was shortstop and MOVEOPI to the second, 7 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: whether it was second base. Willia Damas was somebody that 8 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: the Yankees were linked to. He has now signed with 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants. Now, the Giants have been aggressive 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: in free agency the last few years, but they haven't 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: signed a lot of big names. He gets seven years, 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: one hundred eighty two million dollars, the largest deal in 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: franchise history, according to Jeff Passon. So plan B off 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: the board. Now, I'm also seeing rumors. I've seen it 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: from more than one person. It is not out of 16 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: the realm of possibility that Juan Soto has an offer 17 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: of seven hundred and thirty million dollars from the Mets. 18 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: Now we don't know exactly how long that contract would be. 19 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: You have to assume that it would be twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 20 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: fifteen years. I mean in that range more likely than not. 21 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: Fourteen years would be my guess. But he was seen 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: meeting with some dudes in suits. There was somebody snapped 23 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: his photo and it was all over social media this afternoon, 24 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: and at that point I started getting the studio ready. 25 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: I saw that come through, and I'm like, all right, 26 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: time to get the studio lights on, you know, time 27 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: to clean up my desk area, get ready for some 28 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: breaking news. But then we got some more news that 29 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: he is not expected to make his final decision until tomorrow, 30 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: so we should be able to expect to see Juan 31 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: Soto make his much anticipated decision on Sunday. That would 32 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: be December eighth, a year and two days after he 33 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: was traded to the Yankees. I still don't know how 34 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: I feel about this whole thing. Part of me just 35 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: loves watching Juan Soto and Aaron Judge hit back to back. 36 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: It's the best tandem that I've seen, maybe in my life, 37 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: with the possible exception of some of the years that 38 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: Manny and David Ortiz hit together. They were unbelievable. Obviously, 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Jeter and a Rod two three for a lot of 40 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: years was great, But Jeff Kent Barry bonds come to mind. 41 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: It was just an unbelievable tandem and it'll be a 42 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: shame if we only get to see it for one year. 43 00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: But on the flip side of that, you know, committing 44 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: seven hundred million dollars to show hey Otani is one 45 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: thing because he's probably gonna be a cy young candidate 46 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: next year as well as hit thirty to forty home runs. 47 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: Right wan, Soto is gonna have a four hundred on 48 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: base percentage, a two ninety average, forty home runs, and 49 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: play an adequate right field. He's gonna throw a lot 50 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: of guys out, and he's gonna walk in front of 51 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: Judge a lot. Now that is you know, part of 52 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: the reason you give him money is just because of 53 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: who you got hitting behind him. No team can maximize 54 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: Juan Soto's on base percentage the way that the Yankees 55 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: can with Aaron Judge hitting behind him. That does two things, Okay, One, 56 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: it gets Soto better pitches to hit because you don't 57 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: want to walk him in front of Aaron Judge. I 58 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: don't care if Judge is struggling or not. He's still 59 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: always dangerous. Even in a postseason which he's stunk, He's 60 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: still hit what four home runs, so he's always dangerous. 61 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: And the other thing it does is when Sodo does walk, 62 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: it causes Judge to drive into an unbelievable amount of runs. 63 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: What are you driving over one hundred and forty runs 64 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: this year? I mean, he doesn't do that without Sodo 65 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: on the team. So it's gonna be interesting to see 66 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: what happens as I go for some agua here four 67 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: train Express, says who reported Sodo has seven hundred and 68 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: thirty million offer from the METS. I saw a couple 69 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: of rumors, but I also am on some text chains 70 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: with you know, a couple of people who would be 71 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: in the know, and I'm looking out for I'm looking 72 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: out for confirmation here. So I take it with a 73 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: grain of salt. But it's really not that much of 74 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: a stretch. If you consider, let's say it's fifteen years, right, 75 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: seven hundred and thirty divided by fifteen is forty eight 76 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: point six million. That's really not that much of a stretch. 77 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: It's just a little bit beyond beyond the record for 78 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: average annual value. It doesn't even break the fifty million 79 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: dollar mark. If it's fifty times fifteen, I think that's 80 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: what seven fifty, That's what I'm expecting it to be. 81 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm expecting somebody to I find fifteen years, seven to fifty. 82 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: Just just make your decision already, that's what I'm expecting 83 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: we'll see. But winter meetings officially begin tomorrow, and already 84 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: a damis off the board. So let's take some comments 85 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: things like that. Also, feel free to you know, drop 86 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: in your you know, theories on where he's gonna go, 87 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: your predictions, things like that. Brooke Books says, let him go, 88 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 1: that's way too much. Christopher la Silla says seven hundred 89 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: and thirty million. I don't even know what to do 90 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: with that type of money. He makes more than an 91 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: ending than I will in my whole career. You're uh, 92 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: you're telling the truth there, buddy. Ricky Camillo says breaking 93 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: Sodo fifteen seven forty. That is not confirmed. That is 94 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: not true as far as I can tell. As far 95 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: as I can tell, the only breaking news is Willia 96 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: Domus seven two, and that's a hell of a deal 97 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: for him. So, you know, let's try to avoid posting 98 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: fake news if we can. That's totally uncool to get 99 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: everybody's hopes up or down like that. So let's try 100 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: and be uh, let's try and be cool, be like 101 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: all little Fonsi's here, what's Fonsie like? He's cool? Alex 102 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Amante says, who signs next? I think we're gonna see 103 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: some relievers go. We just had Clay Holmes come off 104 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: the board and he actually might be starting for the Mets. 105 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: And you know what, I don't hate it because he 106 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: does throw a lot of ground balls. You know, if 107 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: he gives you five innings and two runs three runs 108 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: these days, that's a pretty solid start, you know. I mean, 109 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: especially for the salary he's making. I mean that's like 110 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: what that's like a four era. If he becomes a 111 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: four era starter, I think you have to consider that 112 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: a win for the Mets. So Janice Hops says, I 113 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: think the only way he goes to the Mets is 114 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: if he wants to be the only star on a 115 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: big team. I mean, he might want to be the man. 116 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: He as long as he's in Judges shadow, He's not 117 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: gonna be the man with the Yankees. I mean he's 118 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Judge hit fifty eight home runs. He hit 119 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: seventeen more home runs than Sodo did, and for his 120 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: great as Sodo, a great hitter as Soto is. We 121 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: can pull up the stats and just compare these guys. 122 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: Because Judge's numbers during the season, I think people are 123 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: just forgetting because of how bad his his postseason was, 124 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: the kind of numbers this guy had. I'm gonna go 125 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: ahead and share my my screen here. Hang on just 126 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: a second, we'll take a look at the numbers. So 127 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge this year fifty eight home runs, one hundred 128 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: and forty four RBIs one hundred and thirty three walks. 129 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: He had more walks than Sodo, more home runs, more 130 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: RBIs higher on base percentage, higher slugging two twenty three opie. 131 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean he's better across the board. Sodo scored more 132 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: runs because he had Judge hitting behind him, driving the 133 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: ball out of the ballpark. So you know, statistically, Sodo's 134 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: always going to feel like he's in Judge's shadow until 135 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: Judge begins to fade. But you know, it is what 136 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: it is. Stay tuned. We're gonna have information rolling in 137 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: all nine all night. We might do a little bit 138 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: of a watch here as we look for news to 139 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: filter in. Max Dubbs Senior says, I would have loved 140 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: Adamis and pinstripes, but we're playing chicken with the Mets, 141 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: and then BHD says Lowisaga is a closing type believer. 142 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: LOWISAA also a free agent. He had a elbow injury 143 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery, although I think he got the brace 144 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: procedures so should be back early next year. C W 145 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: says Judge is not better than Soda. Let's just flat 146 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: out not what the numbers say. Judge had a higher 147 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: wins above replacement over the course of a larger sample size. 148 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: Now you can say what you want about the playoffs. 149 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: Judge had a slump at the worst time, but Judge 150 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: was the worth almost three wins more than Juan Soda. 151 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: And Judge plays a good defense. Judge plays center field. 152 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: Soto's a corner outfield and a bad one. And Judge 153 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: is a better base runner. So I mean Judge probably 154 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: has a better arm. I mean, so I know so 155 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: Dona had a lot of Outfiel assists, but I'd like 156 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: to see the mile per hours on each throw. I 157 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: think Judge has a stronger arm when he really cuts 158 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: it loose and cwe Elsa says Judge is a bump 159 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Look until he changes it, that's gonna 160 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: be the narrative. I'm not gonna eat your lunch for 161 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: saying it, because people are gonna be if I eat 162 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: everybody's lunch who said that, I'd be fat because I'd 163 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: be eating a lot of Yankees fans lunch and a 164 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: lot of non Yankees fans lunch. He is a guy 165 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: who dominates during the regular season, but he has yet 166 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: to really show up in the playoffs. The home run 167 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: against Class A, it's a damn shame that we lost 168 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: that game because if we win that game, that's an 169 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: enormous home run. Now it's a footnote, right, it's the 170 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: game we lost in that ALCS. And then I felt 171 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: like the way the Yankees blew that game, and partially 172 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: due to Judge drop that ball in center in Game five, 173 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: the way they blew that game really prevented Judge from 174 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: have finishing strong in the World Series. I think he 175 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: would have had a good Game six and probably a 176 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: good Game seven if it went there, because if you remember, 177 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: he went deep and he doubled in Game five, but 178 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: we'll never know because the Yankees pissed it away. And 179 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: the fact that the Yankees pissed it away is no 180 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: small thing, right, It's a big part of what the 181 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: Yankees have to look at this offseason, what we have 182 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: to look at, you know, in terms of team construction. 183 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: If we signed Soto for fifty million dollars, yes, we're 184 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: still you know, a deadly regular season tandem. We're still 185 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: gonna drive in a ton of runs, have a big year, 186 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, you add in and improving Austin Wells and 187 00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: improving Anthony Vopie hopefully and improving Jason Dominguez. The offense 188 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: could be better, should be good enough. The Yankees are 189 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: gonna have some pitching. I'd like them and go get more. 190 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: But if you commit fifty million to Sodo, you still 191 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: have to fix other areas. You still need a first basement. 192 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: You still need a third basement unless you move, unless 193 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: you keep Jazz there, then you need a second basement. 194 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: Because Labor Torres is gone Yankees already said he's not 195 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: coming back, and Anthony Rizzo's gone. So you could run 196 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: Ben Rice and Caleb Durban out there. But I don't 197 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: think that's moving the needle in Soto's mind. If Soto says, hey, 198 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: how are you gonna compliment me, how are you gonna 199 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: make this team better? And he says, well, don't worry, 200 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: we got Caleb Durbin coming up. You mean that five 201 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: to six guy I met in spring training, That's what 202 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna say. So the Yankees have got to do 203 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: more than just Sodo. I contend that it would be 204 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: a great thing to have Sodo back, but if if 205 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: he decides to go elsewhere, you're not gonna see me 206 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: here crying, because I think that there is a way 207 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: to improve this team and win a World Series, or 208 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: at least get back to a World Series with others. Right, 209 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: go get a Corbyn Burns or a Max Freed for 210 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: the rotation. Instantly, you've got the best rotation in baseball. 211 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: Trade the deal that I wanted to do yesterday, which 212 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: was Jordan Montgomery for Marcus Stroman. I think you could 213 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: pull that deal off. Now you've got a legitimate one 214 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: through five, okay, and then you go out and you 215 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: get I don't know if if it's Bragman, they probably 216 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: won't bring back Bragman. They won't bring in Bragman, but 217 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: you go get somebody for the infield. I don't know 218 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: if Christian Walker is the guy I'd rather see Bellinger. 219 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: Go get Bellinger for first base, replace that left handed 220 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: battle Rizzo and a good defender. Now, all of a sudden, 221 00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: you got some dangerous lefties in that lineup. Wells Sotollinger, 222 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: Dominguez looking pretty good. So stay tuned. We're gonna see 223 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: over the next twenty four hours what happens. Take a 224 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: few more comments here. Matt Zimmerman says, we all know 225 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: the Yankees are not going over seven fifty BHD Clap says, 226 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: trade for Bellinger and Nico Horner. Let's take a look 227 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: at Nico. He's somebody that I've had interest in. I 228 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: looked at him earlier this winter. He is young guy. 229 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: He's a second basement and shortstop. He is twenty two 230 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: years old, two seventy three hitter, three point seven war 231 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: would not be easy to get him. Or he's twenty seven. 232 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, excuse me. I was looking at the when 233 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: he made his debut. He's twenty seven, so in his prime. 234 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: Not a power guy, but you know, a solid average 235 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: major league hitter one hundred and one ops, two seventy 236 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: three hitter, three thirty five on base percentage, can field 237 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. See the d war was above average, 238 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: you won a Gold Glove in twenty twenty three. I 239 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: think that would be a nice addition. The Cubs are 240 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: trying to unload some folks. They're also trying to get 241 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: rid of Saya Azuki, which you know, he could be 242 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: a fallback option for the Yankees two eighty hitter, three 243 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: point five war but he's not a good defender, and 244 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: the Yankees really do need to get better on defense. 245 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: So I'm not counting on on Saya Suzuki being part 246 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: of any packages. But anyway, rumors are that Juan Soto 247 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: has been offered seven hundred and thirty million dollars by 248 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: the Mets. I've seen it in multiple places. I am 249 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: waiting for confirmation. Uh, but hey, we'll see what happens. 250 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. It's up to him. It's up 251 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: to him to decide where he wants to play. Right, 252 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: every team is going to offer seven hundred plus million, 253 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: And when you're talking seven thirty or seven fifty or 254 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: seven twenty, it really doesn't make a difference. I know, 255 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, twenty thirty million dollars goes a long way 256 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: in your family, you know, Uh, legacy, your your kid's 257 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: inheritance or whatever. But I mean he's gonna make just bonkers, 258 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: bonkers money and not to mention all the sponsorships and 259 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: things like that. So we got thirteen hundred in the 260 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: chat watching live seven hundred and thirty four on YouTube 261 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: the rest on X be sure to like and subscribe. 262 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: Also call into the voicemail seven one, eight eight, nine, nine, 263 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: ten sixty eight.

Denise says, one hundred and eighty two 273 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: million for a Domis that's more than I thought he 274 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: would get. I you know, I can't picture the Yankees 275 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: handing out one hundred and eighty two million for him. 276 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: Ricky says, go ahead and leave, I don't care and 277 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: join never winning shit and playing a shitty left field. Yikes, man, 278 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: let's know how you really feel. People are bitter. I mean, 279 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: this is something I said yesterday on my podcast, which is, 280 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: if you are making a decision as to where you're 281 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: gonna work for the next fourteen or fifteen years, right, 282 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: Let's say you, you know, have offers from companies in 283 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: New York, La, Toronto, Boston, and they're all offering top 284 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: dollar for your position, right, and and you have the 285 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to basically pick where you want to live, right, 286 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: You'll probably consider more than just the highest dollar. You know, 287 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: if there's a company in Boston and a company in 288 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: Toronto and they're both offering you know, five thousand more 289 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: or ten thousand more a year, but you really want 290 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: to work in New York, you'll probably find a way 291 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: to work in New York for a little bit less. 292 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: You know, there are other factors at play. How comfortable 293 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: are you in the community, right, where do you want 294 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: your kids to be raised? You know, what are the schools, like, 295 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: what's your commute like? Things like that. There's there's all 296 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: sorts of factors and I believe there are gonna be 297 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: factors beyond the highest dollar that leads so to I 298 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: believe Soto already knows where he wants to go, and 299 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: right now they're just trying to work out the final 300 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: kinks in the deal. But he's gonna make that decision now. 301 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: I firmly believe he's gonna stay in New York. I 302 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: don't think he wants to move to Canada. I don't one. 303 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: So it was not gonna play for the Blue Jays. 304 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. I could see him going to 305 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: the Red Sox because of the Big Poppy and the 306 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez connections. But if you're talking, you know, convenience 307 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: of staying in New York. It's the Yankees and the Mets. 308 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: They're both offering seven hundred million. Do you want to 309 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: be the man on the Mets for a little bit more? 310 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: Or do you want to be Robin to Judges Batman 311 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: during the regular season and then Batman to Judges Robin 312 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: during the postseason and possibly, you know, get a parade 313 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: down the Canyon of Heroes as a Yankee. Back in 314 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Soto said, everybody wants to play for the Yankees. 315 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: All the Dominican kids, they want to play for the Yankees. Well, 316 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: he got to play for the Yankees, right. He sat 317 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: there after the final out of the World Series longer 318 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: than anybody, just watching the the things unfold on the 319 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: field and feeling sad and just looking to straut. He 320 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: was doing one of two things. He was either thinking 321 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: this could be my last game as a Yankee, the 322 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: last thing I'll see, you know, as a Yankee in 323 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: these pinstripes, or he was sitting there ruminating, saying, I 324 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: can't wait to beat these sons of bitches next year. 325 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: That's what I hope.
