1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Just wanted to cook. 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 2: That's all, all right, what's up everybody. I hope your 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 2: evening is going well. I hope everybody's had some time 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 2: to watch some Max Freed highlights. We'll talk about the 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: rotation in just a minute, but first I want to 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: talk about this news we got today about Kyle Tucker, outfielder, 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: right fielder for the Astros, and might not make a 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: lot of sense to trade for a right fielder when 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: you've got Judge already, I mean, unless you want to 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: play him in left field. But there's no question that 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker is an elite and an underrated player. I 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: am actually kind of stunned that they're considering putting him 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 2: on the block, or at least listening to offers for him. 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: And I still highly doubt that they would trade him 15 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: to the Yankees. I really highly doubt that there's a 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: chance that they could match up against the Yankees in 17 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: the playoffs. There's still kind of rivals. The Cubs are 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: also interested, and it makes more sense if you can 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: to just get him out of the American League. But 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: if something can be worked out, Kyle Tucker would be 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: a really nice addition to left field, and I still 22 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: think they're gonna go with Bellinger, and we'll talk more 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: about that in the plan B taking shape. But we 24 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: pretty much know what pieces are available now and it's 25 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: only a matter of which ones the Yankees are able 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: to maneuver onto their chessboard. So let's take a look 27 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: at Kyle Tucker again. Word round the campfire is that 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 2: they are fielding offers for him. He missed a lot 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: of the season with a fractured shin. But you know 30 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: before that the previous two years thirty home runs and 31 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: twenty nine home runs, twenty five stolen bases and thirty 32 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: stolen bases. This year too, eighty nine four oh eight 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: on base percentage. So if you're looking for that guy 34 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: who gets on base in front of judge at almost 35 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: the clip that Juan Soto did, Kyle Tucker might be 36 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: your guy. He's got elite, elite strike zone command. Now, 37 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 2: you see, he's not qualified as far as the MLB 38 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: percentile rankings go. There's a lot that's like grade out 39 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: or whatever, but that's just because he didn't have enough 40 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: at bats to qualify. If he had, the metrics would 41 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: be through the roof. Strikeout percentage is excellent, bat speed 42 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: is above average, a little bit hard hit percentage his 43 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: way up there, he barrels it up and look at 44 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: his spray chart. A lot of power to right field, 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: and boy that plays in Yankee Stadium. Now some of 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: these shots to left field also impressive opposite field power. 47 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 2: He hits line to line. You see basically a arc 48 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: across the entire field of hits, and you wouldn't see 49 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: any right here because usually those are get caught. But 50 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: this is a guy who is an elite hitter. Elite hitter. 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: He's also got you know, a little bit of an 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: above average arm fifty second percentile in arm strength. His 53 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 2: arm value slightly above average. The sprint speed is not great, 54 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: and the base running value is not great, but again 55 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: that could be because of the shin. If we go 56 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: back and look at previous years, which you can do 57 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: by hitting this play button, you can see that his 58 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: base running value in the past has been higher at 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: least league average in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen, and 60 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: then it goes up way up in twenty twenty to 61 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: one hundredth percentile, seventy ninth percentile in twenty twenty one, 62 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, it drops back down a little bit, 63 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: and then twenty twenty three back up to seventy nine percentile. 64 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: Then this year, of course, the shin injury. So I 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't expect that he's gonna be permanently impaired as a 66 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: base runner or anything like that. He's still twenty seven 67 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: years old, so he should heal up. But it's not 68 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: gonna be cheap. If the Yankees want to get him, 69 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: it's gonna cost some top prospects. I saw some people 70 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: say that Jason Dominguez could be somebody we trade for him. 71 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: I reject that. They wouldn't even trade Jason Dominguez for 72 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: one year of Juan Soto and Soto was healthy. You're 73 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: not gonna trade Dominguez for one year of Kyle Tucker. 74 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: I could see them trading somebody like a Spencer Jones 75 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: or even one of their now excess starting pitchers. And 76 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: we'll talk about the rotation here in just a second. 77 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: But if Kyle Tucker's really available, the Yankees should absolutely be. 78 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: I'd say as close to all in as you can 79 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: get without without dealing you know Dominguez, or or you know, 80 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: really Dominguez is pretty much it. I'd probably even give 81 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: them Roderick Arius, who's a top prospect. I would definitely 82 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: deal Spencer Jones because I'm not as high in Spencer 83 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: Jones as other folks are. I probably flinch a little 84 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 2: bit when it comes to like Henry Lalaane. He's somebody 85 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: I think could shoot up the system. But the Astros 86 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 2: are definitely gonna be wanting to a heist from the Yankees. 87 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 2: So if this happens, watch out. It could get it 88 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: could sting a little bit. But if they make that deal, 89 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 2: I expect the Yankees to extend him long term. Now, 90 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: there had been some talks about the Astros extending him 91 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: long term. Those talks have faded, and you wonder if 92 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: it's because of the contract that just got handed out. 93 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: You know, that Soto contract is gonna break baseball. But 94 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: he's not a seven hundred million dollar player, you know, obviously. 95 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: But everybody who's in that position thinks, well, I'm gonna 96 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: get my bag now too. But I bet the Yankees 97 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: would give him a nice deal if they were able 98 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: to pick him up. All right, let's talk a little 99 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: bit about the rotation. When we were talking through the 100 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: Max Fried sign signing just a little while ago, I 101 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: neglected to mention Louis Heo on my first run through 102 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: live show. Mistakes happened. So let's go ahead and take 103 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: a look at the rotations at the rotation singular options 104 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: as of right now. So Garrett Cole still at the 105 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: top three point four to one era two point zero War, 106 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: but that was in seventeen starts, so you figure he's 107 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 2: like a three to three and a half win pitcher 108 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: at this point in his career, which is basically what 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: Max freedz. So you basically got two guys who are 110 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: really really good at the top of that rotation. Freed's 111 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: era was actually lower than Garrett Cole three point five War, 112 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: and then you got Carlos Rodin one point nine War, 113 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: three point nine to six era. What Carlos Rodin did 114 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: this year was have elite stretches and then he would 115 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: bunch together bad starts, right, so his numbers would shoot up. 116 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: But he had a couple of good starts in the playoffs, 117 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: he also had some bad ones. Still got an electric arm. 118 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: I still like him as a rotation piece. Don't think 119 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: he's going anywhere. He's got no trade clause, But if 120 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: somebody's interested and he's willing to accept a deal. That 121 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 2: could be one way that the Yankees could offset some 122 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: of the cost of signing Max Fied. Now Carlos Rodin 123 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: makes well over twenty million dollars himself. They Yanks might 124 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: have to eat some of that because you know, you're 125 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: basically paying, you know, up front for a healthy pitcher, 126 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: and now he's you know, he's had some back injuries 127 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: and you know, chronic back issue and whatever. That's definitely 128 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: going to lower his value. The numbers have gone down. 129 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: He'll since so there's a non zero chance that they 130 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: trade him. But I don't think they will. I think 131 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: they'll keep him. I think they like him. Louise Heel 132 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: three point five zero ERA, three point one War. He 133 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: won fifteen games, he won the Rookie of the Year. 134 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: You could argue he's got the best stuff in the rotation. 135 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: I don't know how I admitted him when I was 136 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: running through I was just in a rush and just 137 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: ran right through him. But yeah, he's a staple for 138 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: the rotation unless the Yankees move him to the back 139 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: end of the bullpen. Louise Heel. I love the guy. 140 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: I've been saying forever. He's the real deal. And I 141 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: believe he belongs in the rotation. Clark Schmidt two point 142 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: eight five ERA two point zero WAR. Now you gotta 143 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: notice that that's in sixteen starts, which is one less 144 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: start than Garrett Cole. So he basically had a better 145 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: half season than Garrett Cole had, but he missed some 146 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: time with the oblique injury. He still struggles to get 147 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: through the fifth sixth inning like he seems to run 148 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: out of gas, but the first couple time trips through 149 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: the order, he's fantastic. I think he's got to be 150 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: in the rotation too, and that leaves Marcus Stroman and 151 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: Nestor Cortez. I could see somebody being interested in Stroman. 152 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: He's a veteran guy. He's played a lot of places, 153 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: throws ground balls. He's somewhat durable, like he wears down 154 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: in the second half, but you know he took the ball. Yeah, 155 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: I think twenty nine times this year. Let me just 156 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: double check his stats real quick, because he yeah, twenty 157 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: nine starts thirty games. I'll share his stuff. He had 158 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: twenty five starts the previous two seasons and a sub 159 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: four ERA, so he's definitely trending in the wrong direction. 160 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: With his era from three point five to zero to 161 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: three point nine to five and up to four point 162 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 2: three to one, but thirty four years old this season, 163 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 2: I think somebody might take a chance on him. I 164 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: could see the Yankees moving him, and then you also 165 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: got nest Cortez, who is going to miss out on 166 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: the rotation because of that elbow injury. Somebody might be 167 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 2: willing to take a flyer on him. I could see 168 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: the Yankees moving him for a relief pitcher, just to 169 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: kind of fill in some of that bullpen. So you know, 170 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 2: that's where we're at in terms of the rotation. I 171 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: think it looks pretty good. I think that's a division 172 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: winning rotation. And I have no qualms about not signing 173 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: Corbin Burns or not doing anything else to the rotation 174 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: at this point. In fact, I would subtract one of 175 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: Stroman or Nestor Cortez and put the other one in 176 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: the bullpen. Let's talk a little bit about Christian Walker. 177 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: The Yankees are apparently serious about him. They have resumed talks, 178 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: which you don't do unless there's a deal to be made. 179 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: The Yankees reached out initially and they were just kind 180 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: of testing the waters while they we're hunting for Juan Soto. 181 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: The price tag is over twenty million dollars for Christian Walker, 182 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 2: but word is that they can get him for two 183 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: to three years. He does have a market to are 184 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: team's looking for right handed bats. One of them is 185 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 2: the Red Sox, but I don't know. I don't think 186 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 2: there's a fit. They got Tristan cossis coming up. They've 187 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: also talked about trading Tristan Cassis to the White Sox 188 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: for Garrett Crochet. That would open up first base for 189 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: Christian Walker. There's a number of teams that could use 190 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: a really good defensive and offensive first baseman, even though 191 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: he is aging a little bit. But since the Yankees 192 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: are serious about him, it's kind of it's kind of 193 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: letting us get a look at what the Yankees are 194 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: trying to do here, right. I don't think they're confident 195 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: in Ben Rice. Ben Rice hit in the one seventies. 196 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: He had seven home runs, but he had a big 197 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: hole in his swing. He's still kind of a novice 198 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: at first base. The Yankees are trying to really tighten 199 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 2: up their defense, lose an offense in the way that 200 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,599 Speaker 2: you're losing with Juan Soto. You've got to get to 201 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: run prevention right, and that means tighter d and one 202 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: great place to do that is at first base. Now 203 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: signing Max Freed, he's a ground ball pitcher. He gets 204 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff in the infield. There's gonna be 205 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: throws that are gonna need to be picked, and you know, 206 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: shots at first base from lefties. You gotta have a 207 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 2: good first basement over there. I think they're going with 208 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: Christian Walker. I think the Yankees are gonna spend on 209 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 2: him and pull the trigger and just hope he doesn't 210 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: decline in the next couple of years. They'll probably give 211 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: him a three year deal. That would be my prediction, 212 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna happen before the end of 213 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: the Winter meetings. Wouldn't shock me if it happens even tomorrow, 214 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: because the chatter around him is starting to pick up 215 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: a little bit, so that kind of tells us what 216 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: Plan B is looking like. I think they're gonna go 217 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: with Bellinger. Probably gonna check in on Kyle Tucker. We 218 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: talked about him, but I think they're ultimately gonna go 219 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: to Bellinger for left field because he's easier to acquire. 220 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: He's not going to cost as much in prospects now 221 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: he is making twenty seven million dollars. He's also got 222 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: experience playing in the World Series. He's been an MVP. 223 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: He's he had a bounce back year two years ago. 224 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: We hit three to ZHO seven. I mean, this is 225 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: a guy who has a track record in the big leagues. 226 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pull up his stats now. He hurt himself 227 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: celebrating in the World Series in twenty twenty, but he's 228 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: had some just brilliant, brilliant seasons forty seven home runs 229 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: back in the juiced ball season. He's not that guy. 230 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: You got to pretty much throw twenty nineteen out for everybody, 231 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: and then you look at what he's done. You know, 232 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: after the shoulder injury, won sixty five and twenty twenty 233 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: one really really hurt too. Ten the following year, gets 234 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: basically free agency from the Dodgers because they didn't want 235 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: to bring him back. He signs a proven deal with 236 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: the Cubs. He hits three oh seven. He proves it. 237 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: Twenty six home runs, ninety seven RBIs, twenty stolen bases, 238 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: eight eighty one ops showcases that he is a productive 239 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 2: clutch hitter. He also had twelve sack flies, productive outs. 240 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: That's what we like. Top ten MVP Silver Slugger four 241 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: point four War at age twenty seven. Now, last year 242 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: he was hampered by some more injuries, but they were 243 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: like contact injuries. He got hit by a pitch, He 244 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: had some collisions with walls and things like that. But 245 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 2: still two sixty six, eighteen home runs, seventy eight RBIs 246 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: still basically an above average league player. Two point two War. 247 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: The league average for War is two point zero, which 248 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: is weird. You know, you would think it would be zero, 249 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: you know, like like ops is nice round number, it's 250 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: one hundred. You would think that War, like for the 251 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: standard player, would be zero. But a standard average major 252 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: league starter is about a two War. So two point 253 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: two me slightly above average, and he won't cost much 254 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: to get because the Cubs are shopping him around. So 255 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: when we talk about plan B right the post Juan 256 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: Soto world, it obviously involved getting some starting pitching, all right, 257 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: So Max Freed is out of the way, Cross him 258 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: off the list. Christian Walker, I think is next, or 259 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger. One of the two is next, right, So 260 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: that's we can say Kyle Tucker. But again that's gonna 261 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: be a sweep stake. It's gonna take forever. It's gonna 262 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: cost a lot. I don't think it's happening. We'll just 263 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: we'll put him on the back burner, but it's it's 264 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: a non zero. But I think it's gonna be Christian 265 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: Walker for first bellinger for the outfield, whether it's left 266 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: field or center field, with dominga Is taking the other spot, 267 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: and Judge going back to right and then Max Freed, 268 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: who we already saw. But the Yankees still are gonna 269 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: have to fix the bullpen. We'll talk about that in 270 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: a minute. But I think if you go with that, 271 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: if you go with that formula, okay, you're improving at 272 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: defense in a number of areas. You're improving in right 273 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: field with Judge, you're improving in center field with Dimingez. 274 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 2: I think he's I think he's gonna be a really 275 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: good center fielder. He's definitely faster than Judge. You know, 276 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: he might not, it might take a while because he 277 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: had kind of a rough start, but he was playing 278 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: out a position in left field. Everything we've heard about 279 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: him was that he was a good center fielder in 280 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 2: the minor league. So and then you'd be improving in 281 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: left field with Bellinger. Bellinger is a very good outfielder, 282 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: basically a center fielder playing left that's what you want. 283 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: You'd be improving at defense at first base with Christian Walker, 284 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: and offensively, and then probably Caleb Durbin is the leading 285 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: candidate to take over at second base, so you go 286 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: with a cheap option at second, and there it is. 287 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: You know, that's your starting lineup. Austin Wells behind the plate, 288 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: Christian Walker at first, Caleb durban at second, Anthony Volpi 289 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: at short, Jazz Chisholm at third, left field, Bellinger centerfield, Dominguez. 290 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: Those two can be flip flopped. And then right field 291 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: judge with your DH being John Carlos stan That's a 292 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: good lineup. That's a good team. That's good enough to 293 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: get back to the World Series considering the pitching improvements. 294 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: But the Yankees still got to get some bullpen help. 295 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: We're hearing that Jeff Hoffman is getting some attention. Obviously, 296 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: Tanner Scott is the big name out there, but there's 297 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: a lot of teams in on him. The Yankees are 298 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: also known for picking up guys out of nowhere and 299 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: just kind of you know, tweaking them a little bit 300 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: and then they become studs like Luke Weaver. It'll be 301 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: interesting to see if Luke Weaver remains as the Yankees' closer. 302 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: I think he will, unless the Yankees opt to put 303 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: Louis Heel in the bullpen. But Aaron Boone kind of 304 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: left it open yesterday when he was talking on the 305 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: Hot Stove Show. He said that, you know, we're not 306 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: exactly one hundred percent sure where Weaver is gonna be, 307 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: but back into the bullpen probably Jeff Hoffman, Tanner Scott, 308 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: any one of those guys would be good. Tommy Kinley 309 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: said that he wants to sign around the holidays, which 310 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: is still a couple of weeks away. I would expect 311 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: him to get some attention after the Winter meetings. There's 312 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 2: a few teams that are in on him. But he 313 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: basically made it sound like if he could get a 314 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: two year deal, he would take it from anybody. So 315 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: I think the Yankees will give him a two year 316 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 2: deal at like lower AAV and I think I don't 317 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 2: remember what he made this year, but basically give him 318 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: the same amount, give him an extra year, or give 319 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 2: him like a mutual option with a buyout that's roughly, 320 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: you know, eighty percent of his salary or something like that, 321 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 2: and I think he would take it right, which it 322 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: would affect my video five Yankees who won't be back 323 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 2: because I had him on the list of not coming back. 324 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 2: But I also had Juan Soto as coming back, so 325 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: we'll see. But I think the Yankees are going to 326 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: bring back Tim Hill and that'll be that, and we 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 2: could have this thing. We could have this team complete 328 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 2: by early January. So we'll take a couple of voicemails 329 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 2: in a minute. But seventeen hundred and fifty one watching 330 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: between YouTube and x thirteen hundred watching on YouTube. Reminder, 331 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: go ahead and hit that like and subscribe. We are 332 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: the official Yankees podcast of the Foul Territory Network. There's 333 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: obviously there's Hammer Territory, and we'll be talking to somebody 334 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: from there about Max Freed. I'm sure in the near 335 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 2: future I'm gonna try and make that happen. Just get 336 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: a little scouting report and then you know they have 337 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 2: North Side territory for the Cubs Dodgers territory. All that. 338 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: We're unveiling some more in the next few days, So 339 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: stay tuned for all that, and let's get to your voicemails. 340 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: We got a couple of voicemails here. First one, Oh, hi, Derek, 341 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: this is Hugh from bay Ridge and Brooklyn. 342 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: And if Yankee fans get egged on by the Mets fans, 343 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: just say one sentence, Yankees twenty seven Mets two. Nice. 344 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 345 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I'll admit, like, that's a stereotype that Yankees 346 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: fans always go to. You know, they say, oh, yeah, 347 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: you guys talk about your twenty seven championships, but you 348 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: know how many of them in you know, the last 349 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: twenty five years. Well, I'll say this, I've seen the 350 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 2: Yankees win five championships in my lifetime, and most fans 351 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 2: don't get to say that about their team in any sport. 352 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: So even if the Yankees only win one or two, 353 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be here on this planet for hopefully another 354 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: thirty thirty five years. We'll say, you know, let's say 355 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: seventy seven. You know, I'll sign up for that right now. 356 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 3: Uh. 357 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 2: If the Yankees can win two or three more, I'll 358 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: die a happy man. But I don't want to wait 359 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 2: the rest of my life. Let's get one soon and 360 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: then let's uh, you know, maybe let's maybe throw in 361 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 2: one more three pete that would be nice. 362 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 3: Huh. 363 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: All right, this next callus about our minor league system. 364 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: Hi, this is Bob from South Carolina. Thanks for your show. 365 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 3: I'm a regular watcher. I had a question for you. 366 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,719 Speaker 3: Looked at the Major League Baseball farm rankings and I 367 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 3: think Bleacher Report and wanted to get your opinion on this. 368 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 3: But you know, these are a lot of kids that 369 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: you know, we have not heard of other than Domingas 370 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 3: and Spencer's are Spencer Spencer Jones. But they ranked them 371 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 3: twenty ninth the Yankees. I wanted to get your field. 372 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 4: Maybe you you keep on top of the minor league system, 373 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 4: but how do they stack up the Yankees with the 374 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 4: other Major League Baseball teams in their farm system? 375 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: Thank you buy them? 376 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: So the Yankees do have some pretty decent prospects. They're 377 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 2: not at the top, but they're not at the bottom either. 378 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: They've got some good young talent. You know, Domingas I 379 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 2: think is going to be a star. They obviously had 380 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 2: two of the top three Rookie of the Year can 381 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: this year in Luis Heil who won and Austin Wells, 382 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: who came in third, so that's, you know, a showcase 383 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: of their farm. Another farm product was Aaron Judge, who 384 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 2: won the MVP. He also had Anthony Volpi, who was 385 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: the starting shortstop for the American League Champions and won 386 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 2: a Gold Glove last year. So the farm is I 387 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: think a little bit underrated. A lot of people crap 388 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: on the Yankees farm, say we over hype our prospects, 389 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 2: but I think it's pretty good, and it's gotten better 390 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 2: in recent years. I'm not as high on Spencer Jones 391 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 2: as I once was. When the Yankees first drafted him, 392 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 2: there was a lot of talk about him being the 393 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: next Aaron Judge, which was an unfair thing to say 394 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: about this guy just because he's tall. You know, he's 395 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: he's fast, he's a good defender, but he's got a 396 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: big hole in a swing. I would get him with 397 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 2: teacher Man, Aaron Judges hitting coach and see if you 398 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: can work it out. He's also Carry Carpenter's hitting coach. 399 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: You know, I don't like him. He's a jerk, he's 400 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: mean on Twitter, but he's a good hitting coach. He 401 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: knows what he's doing, so I'm not above hiring him 402 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: to work with Spencer Jones. You know, they got some 403 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 2: other guys who are pretty promising. You know, George Lombard 404 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 2: is pretty young. He was eighteen this year, but he's 405 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: a really promising infielder playing shortstop right now. You could 406 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 2: see him moving to second at some point or getting 407 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 2: to the major leagues right around the time Volpe he's 408 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 2: ready to move to second. Roderick Arius was another guy 409 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 2: that was a number one prospect in the international market. 410 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 2: Yankees signed him a couple of years ago. He's had 411 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: some injuries and has underperformed a little bit. He hasn't 412 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 2: filled out physically like I hoped he would. He's still 413 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 2: rail thin, but he's wiry strong, and he's an excellent defender, 414 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: and he's very fast, got a great eye. He's got 415 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: a Wan Soto level command of the strike zone, which 416 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: is I mean, it's one of the reasons they got him. 417 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 2: Domingez you know, could end up being similar to that 418 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 2: as well. Probably not on the same level, but a 419 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: four hundred on base percentage guy. You know, their farm 420 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 2: is good, it could be better. They're lacking in like 421 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: major league ready arms. I mean, you got Clayton Beater, 422 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: who he's got like he looks like Roger Clemens to me, 423 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: like physically, but he's had some shoulder issues he missed 424 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: some time this year. You've got Henry Lelane, who I 425 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: talked about, big lanky lefty, could move up the system fast. 426 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: But again, prospects are prospects until they make the midjor 427 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: leagues and do something. But I really really like Henry Lane. 428 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 2: I think he's somebody to keep an eye on. To me, 429 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: I mean, he's like Garrett Crochet type stuff, right, one 430 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: hundred mile an hour fastball with some nasty breaking stuff. 431 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: And he's tall and lanky, just just funky. And he's 432 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: supposedly like a really really smart guy. So you know, 433 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: that's kind of where we are in the farm. But 434 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: once again, Yankees rumored to be serious about the following players. 435 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, Christian Walker, Cody Bellinger and i've heard Jeff Hoffman, 436 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: the reliever. Those are four guys. I think the Yankees 437 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 2: will get three of them. So we'll see, we'll see. 438 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: We got Turbo Duran saying f New York, that's okay, 439 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 2: that's okay, don't smoke crack, bye bye, Turbo. We are 440 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 2: gonna call it a day again. Tune in live if 441 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: there's any breaking news. I will be back if anything 442 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: should happen, and also keep an eye on Roki Sazaki, 443 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: kind of my dark horse to end up with the Yankees, 444 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: and if that happens, all hell breaks lose because then 445 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: you've got to trade a starting pitcher. So you know, 446 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'll 447 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 2: see you next.
