1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Want to talk at all. 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back, and welcome 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: back to my buddy, the much requested and much appreciated 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 2: Ryan Garcia of Fireside Yankees. How you doing, my man? 5 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 2: How is your holiday? 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 3: It was good. 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: Got a lot of good time with family, with my 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: girlfriend's family, my girlfriend as well as a really really 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: nice holiday week. 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 3: I can't complain at all. 11 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what. 12 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: We didn't get many presents under the tree as Yankees fans, 13 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: unless you're a humongous Paul Blackburn fan, which I know 14 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: some of us are. But I thought by now by Christmas, 15 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: most of the major moves would be done. It feels 16 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: like in the past, you know, guys signed at the 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: winter meetings or maybe shortly after. A lot of the trades, 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: a lot of the heavy lifting, as Brian Cashman likes 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: to call it, happens by now. Are you surprised that 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: we have heard very in terms of rumors lately, and 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: are you surprised that Kyle Tucker, who a lot of 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: people thought was gonna be getting the Juan Soto treatment 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: this year? If you had said last year, like who's 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: gonna be the big free agent? Kyle Tucker. Are you 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: surprised we haven't heard, like we even heard a peep 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: about him recently? 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean in both categories, I'm absolutely stunned. When 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: it comes to the Yankees. I mean, they tend to 29 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: do a lot of their heavy lifting in December. I 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: think one of the most significant late off season I 31 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: say late with quotation marks is Marcus Stroman when they 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: signed him in the middle of January. But that's really it. 33 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they usually do a lot of their work 34 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: in December, get it out early, and then the rest 35 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: of the off. 36 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: Season usually tends to be pretty boring. 37 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: And then for Tucker, I mean, it is stunning that 38 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: there are so many big market teams who are not 39 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: willing to jump at that. I was about a hunt. 40 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: If you had told me at the start of October 41 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: Alonzo and Diaz leaves the Mets and they're not in 42 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: on Tucker still, I got a significant degree, I'd be stunned. 43 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: Like it's it's crazy, No one's really that in. 44 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: You know, Mets have had a bad off season, man, 45 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: I mean, look, Yankees, we haven't done much to be 46 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: excited about. But the Mets are actively hemorrhaging players and 47 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: signing Yankees' cast offs. That's that's not gonna feel great 48 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: if you're a if you're a Mets fan. 49 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, It's one of those things where 50 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: I will say, for the met fan perspective, if I 51 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: had witnessed that core do what it did, I too 52 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: would be like, you know what, I don't know if 53 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: I love this, but at least of blowing it up 54 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: like I would. There would be a level of stink 55 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: with that core that I would feel if I'd watched 56 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: that scene Group twenty two of the collapse in Atlanta 57 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: twenty three, the awful year twenty five, missing the playoffs 58 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: with Juan Soto. 59 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: On your team like that. 60 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: I can see both sides of like I'm a cell 61 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: Alonzo's gone, but I'm also glad to see the core 62 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: blown up. 63 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 3: I could see both aisles there. 64 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 4: Well. 65 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: I want to talk about something tonight to get the 66 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: Yankees fans a little bit excited. And this may be unrealistic, 67 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: but Kyle Tucker's still sitting out there, and I know 68 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: you've been a big advocate of Kyle Tucker. And the 69 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: longer this offseason goes along, the more I think that 70 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: maybe Cashman's kind of lying in the weeds for Tucker 71 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: because he was looked at as kind of like the 72 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: number one free agent headed into this season. 73 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 4: And then you know. 74 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: We have all these weird rumors about his commitment to 75 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: baseball maybe not being so great, which I hadn't heard 76 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: a peep about until he became eligible to get a 77 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: multi hundred million dollar check. Funny how that happens. This 78 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: is a guy who would absolutely destroy and Yankee Stadium, 79 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: much like Bellinger. He's got reverse splits, he hits better 80 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: against lefties. You love that he draws walks. I love 81 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: that he draws walks. I'm sure the Yankees love that 82 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: he draws walks. 83 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 4: He's got some. 84 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: Pros and cons. You know, didn't finish the season all 85 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: that strong, had some ups and downs with the Cubs. 86 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: But there's a lot to like about Tucker. So let's 87 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: kind of go through. You know, what you like about him, 88 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: what you don't like about him, and what do you 89 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: think the Yankees' opinion of him is. 90 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: Right now, well, let's start with the life. 91 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: And you know, as you mentioned, he walks a lot, Well, 92 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: he walks a lot, doesn't strike out a lot. When 93 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: you look at his skill set if you want to 94 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: measure players contact, contact quantity and contact quality, swing decisions, 95 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: plate discipline, all these things. I mean, he lights up 96 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: the stat sheet. He is above average in contact rate 97 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: above above average, and walk rate above average. In slull percentage, 98 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: he hits for good average, He hits left these and righties. 99 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: There is just nothing to sit here and go, Wow, 100 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: this guy. He's so bad at this one individual thing. Offensively, defensively, 101 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: we've seen the decline sprint speed. We've seen a decline 102 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: there too, but he still remained a really good base runner. 103 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: For the thing I'm concerned about. It plays a little 104 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: bit into theyanky opinion here too. Why are so many 105 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: teams not in Why are the Dodgers. 106 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: Not jumping at this? 107 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: Why are the Mets not jumping at this? Why did 108 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: the Phillies not consider going to this over Schwarber. The 109 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: fact that teams aren't all over this is something that 110 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: is concerning. 111 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: I guess it's a little bit weird. 112 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: It's something where I don't think I have a direct 113 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: worry with Tucker on the stat sheet or what she 114 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: can play over the last few years. It's more so 115 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: the market knows something we don't, or the market just 116 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: does not want to commit whatever he's asking for, and 117 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: R they're going to be stubborn about it because with 118 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: like Juan Soto, Garrett Cole, and Aaron Judge, these guys 119 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: are signed in December for a reason because everyone's bitting 120 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: hot for their services. 121 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: So I'm going to pull up this chat on the 122 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: screen that questioned whether or not he was committed to 123 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: baseball when he played half the season hurt. You would 124 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: think that somebody who's hurt and is looked at as 125 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: kind of a major free agent would just sit out 126 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 2: and just be like, you know what, I've got a 127 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: track record. But this is a guy who played through 128 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 2: pain to try and get to the postseason that I 129 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: have to respect. That's one of the reasons actually when 130 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: we talk about Trent Grisham that I'm a little bit 131 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: bullish on him as a center fielder because he was 132 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: playing hurt right. His metrics were down, but he was 133 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: playing with a pulled hamstring. So if he stays healthy, 134 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: I think he's going to actually get a lot better 135 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: in centerfield and remain smooth af as the kids say. 136 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: But uh, in terms of Tucker, I don't know about 137 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: this commitment to baseball thing. I mean, obviously you don't 138 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: want another Anthony Rendon situation or Carl Pavano or Jacoby 139 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 2: Elsberry or or or something like that. But I mean, 140 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: how can you say that he's not committed when the 141 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: guy is out there playing hurt for three months. 142 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's on a team that didn't that does 143 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: not want to pay him. That I frank he might 144 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: have known did not want to pay him when he 145 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: got hurt inking back in September. Now, again, there are 146 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: a couple of there's the idea, there's a stance of 147 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: teams know something we don't, organizations have information on him 148 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: that we don't have. But I also think part of 149 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: this is, as you alluded to, like the team who 150 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: is his incumbent squad did not want to pay him. 151 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: The team before that was that was his incumbent squad 152 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: or the Astros, he did not want to pay him. 153 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: And I don't think that was because he never had 154 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: intentions of playing paying a good player. From the stand 155 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: point of if the player's worth, they'll pay him. I 156 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: never thought the Ashroser Cubs would hand out that type 157 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: of money. In general, I think that might be a 158 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: little bit of damage control, so we'll see I mean 159 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 1: time is obviously we're gonna get to see him play, 160 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: whether it's in New York or not, and we'll get 161 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: to understand whether this stuff is real or not. But 162 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: I think it's a real possibility Derek, that it's two 163 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: teams that are like, hey, we just want to do 164 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: damage control for why we didn't pay a guy who 165 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: fans won't back. 166 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'll tell you what. The longer this winter 167 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: goes on without a big move, it reminds me of 168 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: how Cashman likes to jump in at the last second 169 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: and make that deal, like when a price gets just loaded, 170 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: like for instance, Mark to Share a back in the 171 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: eight offseason. Nobody expected the Yankees to sign to Share 172 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: after they got c C and Burnett. You're thinking, Okay, 173 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: they solidified the rotation. You know, they they're probably not 174 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: gonna go go out and spend another one hundred and 175 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: eighty million or whatever it was. And then they surprised 176 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: us and did it. When you mentioned John Carlos Stanton 177 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: last time that we had a show, how big a 178 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: surprise that it was just kind of fell in their lap. 179 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: This could be a situation where if his price does 180 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: come down low enough. I mean, I could see Cashman 181 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: just going cold hard facts, Hey, he's worth this X 182 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: amount and he's willing to take this X amount. 183 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 4: Let's just go ahead and side Tucker. 184 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 185 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: And you know, we can even look at this pass 186 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: trade deadline where it was day of and they had 187 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: no answers to their bullpen issues. I remember every single 188 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: day that went by the week of the deadline and 189 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: they didn't add a reliever. I was like, you've got 190 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: to be kidding me. You've got to go do something 191 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: right now, like this bullpen needs a support right now. 192 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: And deadline day swings around, and I think they added 193 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: they added all through the relievers of major note they 194 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: added Cabierro and I think they added Slater either the 195 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: day of or the day before. So yeah, Cashman can 196 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: do a lot of work in one day or in 197 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: a short period of time. I would not be stunned 198 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: to find out that, hey, Tucker's price is dropping. The 199 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: Yankees are suddenly more active in that conversation, even if 200 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: you look at some of the more recent February late 201 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: January three years with opt outs kind of signings, the 202 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: Giants with Snell and Chapman, I remember was heavily rumored 203 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: that they were not going to spend more money after 204 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: getting Snell. When it comes to even the contracts, some 205 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: of the conference yankes and signed. I mean Stroman came 206 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: around in a week. One week it was hey, Yanks 207 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: are checking in on Stroman, and we all kind of go, 208 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: there's no shame, there's no chants, right, And forty eight 209 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: hours later he's in New York, Yankee. So I do 210 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: think these things can just kind of happen on a dime. 211 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: And we'll see with Tucker if that ends up happening here. 212 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 213 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 2: I like the point that Rich Dubbs made. He says, 214 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: if the market from Mega Tucker deal isn't there, maybe 215 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: he does a prove it deal. And I could see 216 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: them doing that. I could see them doing like a 217 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: you know, a three year deal with an opt out 218 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: after one too. You know, we've seen Boris make that 219 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: kind of deal with with Bellinger, right. It gives the 220 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: player some leverage, also gives them a little bit of security, 221 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: gives the team you know, some options like and doesn't 222 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: lock them into a long term deal. 223 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: So I kind of like that. 224 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on blocking the Martian I mean, 225 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 2: if we do sign Tuck or Bellinger, who will talk 226 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: about in a second, Dimingez is effectively a fourth outfielder. 227 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: Would you rather see him play as a fourth outfielder 228 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: and maybe have his development stunted a little bit, go 229 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: to the minor leagues, or maybe trade him at its 230 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: lowest value. 231 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: I think there's a good argument for the keeping him 232 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: as a fourth outfielder and the trading him. So the 233 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: fourth outfield argument is John Carlstan's gonna get hurt. John 234 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: Carlostan is going to miss time in twenty twenty. There's 235 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: no reported injury, but we just know that, so there's 236 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: gonna be playing time there. The Yankees had a surplus 237 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: and position players at times, and I thought it was 238 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: for the better of the roster. The Blue Jays had 239 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: a surplus and position players at times. I thought it 240 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: was for the betterment of their roster. With that being said, though, 241 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: if Dominguez, if his development is stunted, or if there's 242 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: a trade off on the table that makes your team better, 243 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: whether it's improving the rotation or improving another area roster, 244 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: you've got to take it. So in regard to trading him, 245 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: I would field offers and see what you can get 246 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: pitching wise. If you can get an impact starter or 247 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: a guy who takes the ball for in the postseason, 248 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: I'd go do it. If not, I'm comfortable keeping him 249 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: on the roster or just having him as when somebody 250 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: not if when somebody gets hurt of significance, he's there 251 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: to play because at the end of the day, I 252 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: don't know, there's just he's too good in my opinion 253 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: to just dump him, But he's not good enough to 254 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: not sign Ballinger for him, If that makes sense. 255 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: That's kind of where I'm at. 256 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna pull up the Yankees forty man roster 257 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 2: while we talk so we can just kind of look 258 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: and see how things are shaken out right now. You know, 259 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: I love the Martian. I still think he's gonna be 260 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: a great player. I still think he's got that kind 261 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: of slow heart beat. But you know, the the splits 262 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: bother me. 263 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 4: I mean, he really really struggle against lefties. 264 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: He's not doing much better as he works on things 265 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: in the in the Winter League. Right now, I don't 266 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: want to trade him. I would much rather see him develop, 267 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: you know, because Grisham's probably not coming back like assuming 268 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: that there's a season at twenty seven. I wouldn't expect 269 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: Grisham to be back, but especially if the twenty seventh 270 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: season gets skipped altogether or whatever, there's no way. So 271 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: I like having as much youth as possible with some talent, 272 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: and I think that he's still got a long way 273 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: to go, you know, in terms of development. But I'm 274 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: still a fan of the Martian. I want to talk 275 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: a little bit about Cody Bellinger. What do you make 276 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: of this whole Scott Boris asking for four hundred million. 277 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: There was a story that he's asking four hundred million 278 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: for Bellinger. We got Jack Curry also saying that no 279 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: one's coming close to Bellinger's price at this point, which 280 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: would lead leads you to believe his price is pretty high, 281 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: because you would think teams would be lined up to 282 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 2: pay this guy one hundred plus million. Then the guy 283 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: who writes the story after Boris complains online or whatever, 284 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 2: retracts the story out of respect for Boris and their relationship. 285 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 2: I don't know what to believe here, but I think 286 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: there's just as good a chance at you or I 287 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: getting a four hundred million dollar as Cody Bellinger this 288 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 2: year how about that. 289 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: I will I will say this first and foremost, I agree. 290 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: I think our odds are the same. The trio of 291 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: people discussed you have the same ods. 292 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: Of getting forged. 293 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: And I also say this, I think I would. I 294 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: would not be shocked to know that the reality is 295 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: that Boris walked into at least one meeting and said, 296 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: I want four million dollars if you want to get 297 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: this done right now. 298 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 4: I agree. 299 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 3: So, I mean. 300 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: Scott Boris, look, he's he's a player's agent. He's gonna 301 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: do any what he can for his player to get 302 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: them as much money as possible. Do I think sometimes 303 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: it's to the player's detriment. I mean, yeah, if they're 304 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: not a great player. I don't know if it's the 305 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: greatest strategy. But that's neither here nor there. Bellinger, I 306 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: just don't think the market is there with Bellinger yet. 307 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: I just I don't think the market is gonna ever 308 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: wrap their arms around a thirty year old position player 309 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: who is good not great really ever, Like, I'm not 310 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: sure if that's gonna happen again. I think we just 311 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: have too many bad examples. I don't think it helps 312 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: that Brandon Nibbo is traded a month ago for Marcus Simmy. 313 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: Like right, it doesn't help, It just doesn't. 314 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: I like Bellinger as a player, but I don't like 315 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: him anywhere near eight years. I don't like him anywhere 316 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: near four hundred million dollars. If he wants five years 317 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: at twenty six, twenty seven a year, I think I'd 318 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: be okay with that. I still wouldn't be enthusiastic about 319 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: blocking the Martian, but you know, at least, if you 320 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: know Rerice gets hurt or something, you shift more, or 321 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: if you want to, you know, if Stanton gets hurt, 322 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: you move Judge to DH that allows Domingus to play 323 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: some you put Bellinger in right. There's a lot more 324 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: configurations when you have Bellinger on the team because of 325 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: his defensive prowess. That's why I'm okay. But anywhere near 326 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: eight years is just a big I'll just pass adena. 327 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 4: Let's see what else we can find. 328 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: And one of those guys that we're hearing about is 329 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: Austin Hayes, who I actually like. Played with the Reds. 330 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: He hits lefties two sixty six. Last year fifteen Homers 331 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: struck out a lot walk very much, only a three 332 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: fifteen on base percentage. 333 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on Austin Hayes. 334 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: Is maybe one of those like pieces that fit in 335 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: kind of like how the Blue Jays had all these 336 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: different pieces that they would mix and match that they 337 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: tried to, you know, put together each individual game with. 338 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: I really like the idea of platuting him with Jason 339 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: Now that is depending on what they do with the 340 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: money they don't spend on Bellinger, as with I think 341 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: any movie, you just kind of judge it alongside some 342 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: other moves as well for the totality of your offseason. 343 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: But Hayes is a really good hitter against lefties. I 344 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: also like the profile of hitter for kind of what 345 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: you're bringing in here, because he's a little more of 346 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: a free swinger, and I think that's. 347 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: A good thing. 348 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing to have like lineup 349 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: line up diversity in a sense. His bat path, like, 350 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: he's a different kind of hitter to what the Yankees have, 351 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: and he's got enough power against lefties where you can't 352 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: just throw him meatballs over the middle and he's gonna 353 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: just you know, pop out or hit it weekly. And 354 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: you also could expect him to hit for decent average 355 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be someone who you know, hits around 356 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: two sixty two seventy against lefties, He's gonna hit closer 357 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: to three hundred. 358 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 3: I mean I like the profile. I do. 359 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: There's a there's a really good blend of skills that 360 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: don't already exist in the Yankee roster. I know that 361 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: the bat and ball data isn't great on paper, but 362 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: he pulls a lot of his fly balls, and against 363 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: lefties he makes more contact, his quality of contacts better. 364 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: And it's a one year contract probably. I mean Rob 365 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: Rustler got one year, six million dollars. I don't anticipate 366 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: Hayes getting more than that. So depending on how you 367 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: invest around your roster, I think this could end up 368 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: being a really strong offensive platoon. 369 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: Now you mentioned he pulls a lot of fly balls. 370 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: Is that necessarily a good thing for the Yankees? 371 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 4: Right? I mean Death Valley has a nickname for a reason. 372 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's there's some concern there. The way 373 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: I would look at it with Hayes is that he's 374 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: played in a lot of ballparks where he's had to 375 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: really like aim it down the line. So it's it's 376 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: something where I don't think he's gonna be hurt by 377 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium that badly. And also the average kind of 378 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: indicat that he's not too reliant on his fly balls 379 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: or basis, because if you look at batted balls and 380 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: short of my batting average, it goes line drives, ground balls, 381 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: and then fly balls. So he can clearly get his 382 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: hits in other ways too, So I think there might 383 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: be a little bit of a power strop. You don't 384 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: have to play him every day the way that the 385 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: Reds kind of had to at times because the Reds 386 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: don't have any good hitters. But if you put Hayes 387 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: against lefties, I don't think it's that big of an issue, 388 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't expect in a thousand oh ps against lefties. Maybe, 389 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: but can you get me a eight fifty. I don't 390 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: think that that's a one hundred point drop from last year. 391 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty attainable. 392 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's just talk off season a little bit. 393 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 2: Around the winter meetings time, I'm always staying up till, 394 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: like I don't know, midnight, twelve thirty, checking my phone constantly, 395 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 2: like refreshing the feed. I feel like over the last 396 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 2: week or two I've been playing a lot of Call 397 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: of Duty and not really even paying attention to like 398 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: the feed, because I feel like nothing's happening, Like I'm 399 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: just being lulled to sleep, you know what I mean, 400 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: what do you think is going on? 401 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: Well, first, my older brother has been locked in on 402 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: like he loves the new game that just drops, So 403 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: I think I'm sure you'd be happy to I gotta 404 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: get the game. I gotta get the game. But it's boring. 405 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: I said this to you before the stream. There's nothing 406 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: to be excited about so far, and there's nothing to 407 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: There's been no there hasn't been a lot of players 408 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: who have gone off the board, or you're like, damn, 409 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: that guy should have been Yankee. I'm not like Cody 410 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: down Tre hasn't sign, Kyle Sucker hasn't signed. There are 411 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: so many pieces that I think a lot of people 412 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: at the start of the offseason would have been like, Hey, 413 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: I think the Yankees can go after this guy, might 414 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: get this guy. 415 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: And those guys are still out there. 416 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: So I can't even be mad, right Like, I'm not 417 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: even mad about things that haven't happened, because they it 418 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: could happen. I don't like that I want to give 419 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: me something. Let me be happy or mad. It is 420 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: almost the new year and have no idea how I 421 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: feel about this offseason. 422 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's weird. 423 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 2: And it's not just the Yankees that are being quiet. 424 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: A lot of the big teams are being being quiet. 425 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: You wonder if the uncertainty about the twenty twenty seventh 426 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 2: season is holding people back. People don't want to you know, 427 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: I don't I don't even know how to phrase it. 428 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: Do they not want to commit to, you know, a 429 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 2: player that you know for a season that might not happen, 430 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 2: do they? 431 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 4: I don't know. 432 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 2: Are guys asking too much because they want to make 433 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 2: up for a potentially a missed season? I mean, look 434 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: at the money that relief picked. Look, Weaver got eleven 435 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 2: goddamn million dollars. I mean, I just like the prices 436 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: are astronomical. 437 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the reliever market to you're seeing a 438 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: lot of I think teams are kind of jumping back 439 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: on the hey, let's build these expensive bullpens badwagon. I'm 440 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: not sure I'm there with how I want to build 441 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: my roster, but I'm not against it either. And then 442 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: when you look at kind of some previous examples of this. 443 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: You have the lockout winner, the one where twenty one 444 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: to twenty two, because you have the effects of not 445 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: having fans in the stands for the twenty twenty season, 446 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: not having one hundred percent capacity of twenty one that 447 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: off season from twenty twenty to twenty twenty one. I mean, 448 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: that is what this off season is mirroring in terms 449 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: of big market teams not really being involved. And the 450 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: thing that kind of scares me is the Yankees were 451 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: one of those teams who kind of sat by the sideline, 452 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,239 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers weren't really that involved, sure, but they 453 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: had just come off for World Series in twenty at 454 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yeah, they made some noise after the twenty 455 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: twenty season financially, but you see some good contracts signed 456 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: for teams, like very friendly contracts, the Korea contracts, the 457 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: one I always think back on a twenty two and 458 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: go man. If the Yankees had given him that opt 459 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: out laden deal and they had gotten this incredibly like 460 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: this two ninety one hitter with twenty two home runs 461 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: in twenty two instead of IKF Like, what would that 462 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: have season been. 463 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 3: It's a little different. 464 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: Korea comes with some other conversations about that relationship with 465 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees. But I don't know, man, like when it 466 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: tying it back to Kyle Tucker, if he signs one 467 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: of these deals and we end up like I don't 468 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: hate Austin Hayes or anything like that, Like I actually 469 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: liked the idea of the platoon, but if he signs 470 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: a three year deal a week after we signed Austin Hayes, 471 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: I'll flip. 472 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 3: It out upset. Oh so bad. Yeah, it's gonna be 473 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 3: like picking IKF for CA yeah, or all the other 474 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 3: short stops again. 475 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 4: Yeah. 476 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just ready for some action, man, And 477 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: it's like the Elvis Presley song. A little less conversation, 478 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 2: a little more action. 479 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 4: I need. 480 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 2: I need some baseball news to uh, to. 481 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 4: Brighten the day. 482 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 2: Ryan, Thanks so much.
