1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: He's going to talk at all. 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. I'll tell you what, TK. 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: We need to check Brian Cashman for a pulse. This 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 2: winter has been watching has been like watching paint dry, 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: or more appropriately watching snow melt. But TK, how you 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: doing out. 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 3: There in the in LA and doing pretty well? If 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 3: I don't see you guys again. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 3: Happy holidays. Everybody's kind of getting to that time of 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: the year. I haven't really had a Merry Christmas from 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 3: the Yankee so far. I keep going back to that 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 3: meme Derek of It's a great cause when Cashman does 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 3: the like the homeless awareness sleeping thing on the street 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 3: or whatever, great cause. But I keep going back to 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: that meme where he's like in sleeping bag and he's 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: asleep on the street. I'm just that's all I see 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: right now. He hasn't done anything. 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it's it's it's definitely meme worthy, right, 19 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: I Mean people post that all the time when it's 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: a slow winter. But I think that they're lying in 21 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: the weeds. I think that they're gonna make some moves. 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: It might take longer than usual, but Michael King just 23 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: came off the board. We're gonna talk about that tonight. 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about EMI and whether or not the 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: Yankees are actually finalists, because we found out that, you know, 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: the Yankees were finalists for Michael King, along with the 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: Orioles and Red Sox, and then he ends up going 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: back to San Diego. So that tells you how much 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: we can believe the rumors. We'll debate whether or not 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: it makes sense to spend the remaining dollars on upgrading 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: the offense or upgrading the pitching, or kind of like 32 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: a half measure where we do a little bit in 33 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: each direction. But honestly, if you're getting one big piece, 34 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: you know, one big present under the tree, it's probably 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: gonna be either a pitcher or a hitter. So we'll 36 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: talk about that. Bellinger's contract demands appear to be too high, 37 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: and we'll take your voicemails. But first we got to 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: talk about whether or not the Yankees dodged a bullet 39 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: here Michael King back to San Diego on a three 40 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: year deal, and every baseball writer had this down to Yankees, 41 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: Red Sox, Orioles. I did a show earlier this week, 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 2: and I made it clear that I preferred im I 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: over Michael King. My buddy Brett shout out to Brett 44 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: told me that King had like a mysterious injury this year. 45 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: He had slept on his arm wrong and it was 46 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: a mysterious kind of like nerve issue, and when he 47 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: came back he had lost a tick, and then they 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: weren't really comfortable giving him the ball in the playoffs. 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: And he apparently had a knee injury too. So given 50 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: the injury issues, I would have much rather the Yankees 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: went after am I. But if you believe the reports, 52 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: there's also reports that the Yankees have kind of soured 53 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: on the Japanese market onm I and Okamoto. So number one, 54 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: do you think the Yankees dodged a bullet on Michael King? 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: Like how do you feel about this? And in general, 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 2: how do you feel about like the next steps, like 57 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: where do they pivot? 58 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: Well, I think the biggest bullet they dodged is him 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: potentially going to the Red Sox, I mean, or even 60 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: the Orioles. But I mean, I think if King had 61 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: gone to the Red Sox, that would have been an 62 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: absolute disaster. 63 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 4: They would have really kind of started to. 64 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: Put together a really solid club and they got a 65 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: lot of young players. And You've said it before, and 66 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: I kind of agree with you that if Roman Anthony 67 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 3: was playing in the Wildcard Series, Yankee's a good chance 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: they lose that series for the Yankees. Though specifically I 69 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: liked him when he was a Yankee. He had good stuff, 70 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: But yeah, the injury stuff does concern me. I think 71 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: he's just about thirty, Is that right, Derek. I think 72 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: he's either twenty nine or thirty. So he signed year deal. 73 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: But yeah, while you chay a three year deal, it's 74 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: not an enormous commitment. But I think that the Yankees 75 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: do have a lot of good young arms in the 76 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: system right now, where I'm okay with passing on that. Again, 77 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: I think the bigger problem would have been if he 78 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: had signed with a division right or if like Toronto 79 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: came sniffing around. 80 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 4: I mean, that definitely would have been a problem. 81 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: But I'm kind of okay with it just because of 82 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: the injury concerns, and I am kind of more interested 83 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: in Tatsuya am I. The guy's got great stuff, throws 84 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 3: a hundred, and I think he has that sort of 85 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: dog mentality about They asked him about being Japanese and 86 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 3: going to the Dodgers, and he was like, no, I 87 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: want to beat the Dodgers, so exactly, I love that already. 88 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 3: But the Japanese markets really weird this year, man, because 89 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 3: Murakami hasn't even signed and I think he has like 90 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 3: five more days until the window closes, So the Japanese 91 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: market has been very bizarre this winter. 92 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: Ami is the most interesting free agent to me because 93 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 2: arguably he could be at top of the rotation pitcher. 94 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: But there's always a little bit of risk with these 95 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: guys coming from Japan. And like you said, I love 96 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: the attitude of like, I want to beat the Dodgers, 97 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: not I want to go join Like I've never been 98 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: a fan of guys who just want to like join 99 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: the easiest team to win with, right. John F. Kennedy said, 100 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: you know, we go to the moon and we do 101 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: the other things now because they are easy, but because 102 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: they ah And you know, I don't like climbing a 103 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: grassy hill. I want to climb a mountain, right, And 104 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: I feel like that type of competitive nature if I 105 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: want to beat the Dodgers, is the exact type of 106 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: guy that I want on the team. But the Yankees 107 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: been rumored as the finalist or along with the Cubs, 108 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: one of the finalists. I just want to throw a 109 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: little bit of cold water on that. They were also 110 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: the finalists supposedly for Michael King. So at the end 111 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: of the day, the chatter doesn't really matter. There's very 112 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: few leaks out of the Yankees camp. Have you noticed that, 113 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: Like they have gotten so good at just like clamping 114 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: down on information. 115 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: Well another thing too, the rumor Luke Weaver goes to 116 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: the Mets that you know, there was a rumor that 117 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: it was between the Mets and the Yankees, and then 118 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: I think Joel Sherman was like, the Yankees didn't even 119 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: offer Luke Weaver. So no one really knows anything, to 120 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: be honest. And yes, this has been a very quiet winter, 121 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: and I almost that this is a strategy from the 122 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: Yankees are like, you know, last season they last top season, 123 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: they lose so too, and that was all the chatter 124 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: and the rumors, and it's a big free agent. You're 125 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: trying to retain him, but they've almost kind of changed 126 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 3: tax here. We're trying to keep it as quiet as 127 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 3: possible and really really just mysterious, Like I honestly, I can't. 128 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: I don't have my finger on the pulse of the 129 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: team at all this this this winter. I feel like 130 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 3: last winter you had a little bit of an idea 131 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: of what they were gonna do. 132 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: You have the Plan A, the Plan B. 133 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 3: I have absolutely no idea, And I feel like this 134 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: is gonna be one of those winters too, where if 135 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: a move does happen, a move of significance, either some 136 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: either nothing of significance happens, Derek, or something does happen 137 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: and it's one of those things that. 138 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 4: You totally didn't see coming. 139 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 3: You're like, WHOA, Like you wake up and you had 140 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: no idea that that was even being discussed. I guess 141 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: in the NBA, it's like the Luca deal to the Lakers, 142 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: like no one even thought that was even possibility until 143 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 3: it happened. 144 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Bellinger, because word round the campfire is 145 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: that nobody's close to what you know Bellinger's asking for. 146 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: I've heard some people say that he's asking for like 147 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: thirty forty million dollars a year for like seven eight years. 148 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: And again, take all of these reports with the grain 149 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: of salt, like nobody knows for sure what he wants 150 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: to do. You know, where he wants to go, how 151 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: much he wants other than him, his agent and the 152 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: teams that he's talking to. But I mean, I don't 153 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: know if I'd be comfortable with seven or eight years 154 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: for Bellinger. I mean it, if you look back at 155 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: the DJ Lemayhew situation, this was a guy who looked 156 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 2: like he was going to age well. He looked like 157 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: an athlete. But guys just don't age as well a 158 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: lot of the time anymore. I mean, it's a younger 159 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: man's game. I worry about, especially a guy who's had injuries, 160 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: who's had surgeries. Seven eight years. I think you got 161 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: to draw the line at like five, dude. 162 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: I was about to say, I don't think I'd go 163 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: more than five. He's thirty years old, he's gonna be 164 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: thirty one. Plays the outfield, plays first and stuff like that. 165 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 3: But you know, you're thinking about Ben Rice is playing first, 166 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: and the way Judge is going to agent his contract, 167 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: and you know you got some younger outfield prospects that 168 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: that you want to maybe give a chance because Chrisham's 169 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: coming back. 170 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: Like I really I love Bellinger. 171 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: I really do think he's a good fit and just 172 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: as a person in the clubhouse, and I like that 173 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: he plays hard all the time, but just from like 174 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: a business perspective, I don't There's. 175 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 4: No way I'd go more than five years. No chance. 176 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: I've heard some crazy numbers get thrown out there. And 177 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: again you take the reports with the grant of sal 178 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: you don't know, but they're talking about like three hundred million, 179 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: three fifty. 180 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 4: No chance would I do that? No chance? 181 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: Sure, that is absolutely and I just want to I 182 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: just want to throw this out there. You know, his 183 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: agent is one of these guys who will hold him 184 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: out until spring training. So I think there's a solid 185 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: chance that Bellinger doesn't even sign with anybody before February. 186 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: I think that the Yankees are probably going to at 187 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 2: some point say we're we're out on this. And if 188 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: you're my dog barking, it's because somebody just rang the doorbell, 189 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: so that's why. And I think my pizza is here. 190 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: I made the mistake of ordering pizza before the show. 191 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: I thought it would arrive after the show, so it'll 192 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: be cold anyway. That's why my dog's barking. So let's go. 193 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: Let's move on to the fourth topic before we take voicemails. 194 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: If you believe that the Yankees are going to stay 195 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: around three hundred and ten million, you know, last year 196 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: they finished at three nineteen, But you want to leave 197 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: some room for like in season trades, pickups, things like that. 198 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: If you believe they're going to enter the season at 199 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: about three ten, which some people don't, By the way, 200 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: you arguably have like twenty five to thirty million to spend. 201 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: That's if you're creative and are able to make a 202 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: trade in there somewhere and dump a few million. Possibly, 203 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: are you spending more on the offense or the pitching? 204 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: Like where are you allocating that money right now? 205 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 3: I really feel like it's got to be offensively. I 206 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: feel like pitching. The pitching bullpen struggled. They had a 207 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 3: lot of injuries, and that's all true. But I'm almost 208 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 3: fine with sort of rolling the dice in April and 209 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 3: May and waiting for the guys to come back for 210 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 3: full health. And like if ideally that's not the case, Like, 211 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, Ideally you signed Tatsuo am I 212 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: and you kind of sure up the rotation and you 213 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: got some pieces and stuff. But if I had to 214 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: pick between the two, I think they really need a 215 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: right handed bat that's gonna that's gonna produce for them, 216 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: especially if Bellinger walks out the door. Right I don't 217 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: know if Chrishiam's gonna be what he was last season, Mike, 218 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: if you ask me right now got into my head, 219 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: I say, probably not. I don't know what Spencer Jones 220 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 3: is gonna be. I don't know what Jason Deming is 221 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: is gonna be. I'm pretty sure I know what Volpi 222 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 3: is so offensively. Other than Judge, there's like two guys 223 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: that I'm pretty confident in, which is probably Ben Rice 224 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: and Jazz. That's it on you know, I don't think 225 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 3: think that's good enough. 226 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 4: That's not gonna cut it. You gotta hit man. 227 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: I think I'm going with pitching. I think I'm getting Emma, 228 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: and I'm trying to upgrade at the weak spots of 229 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: the offense during the season, if possible. There's a couple 230 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: of things that worry me about the offense. One what 231 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 2: if what if Trent Grisham goes back to being the 232 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: guy who hits one eighty with no power or just 233 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: a little bit of power, you know, I mean that's 234 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 2: what's Derek and the other thing that worries me is well, 235 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: there's two things. There's two more things that worry me. Shortstop, 236 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: we don't have anybody who can hit. You know, Volpie's 237 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: proven he can't hit. And if he comes back from surgery, Uh, 238 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: there's no guarantee he's gonna return any better than he was. 239 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: In fact, there's a good chance he's gonna return worse. 240 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: Cabal Aro is a guy who with a six eighty 241 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: six or something ops. So we get no offense out 242 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: of shortstop. We got no offense out of third base 243 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: from McMahon. I do think we're gonna get better years 244 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: out of Austin Wells behind the dish. I think he 245 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: he's frustrating. He's frustrating. 246 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: He did say that he expects more out of him. 247 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 3: I think that's like the harshest i've heard Boone talk 248 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: about a player. 249 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. So we'll see if he turns 250 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: it around. I do think we were talking about this 251 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: before the show, Ben Rice, whether or not he hits 252 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: forty home runs, I think he's got a good shot 253 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: at it. I think he's like that type of hitter 254 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: if you put him in there, and I think he'll 255 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: get better against lefties as well. So I think I 256 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 2: would spend on pitching and try and improve the offense 257 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: in other ways. Let's take some voicemail. It's just a reaction. 258 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,599 Speaker 2: Here is Booker. 259 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 5: Is Booker. 260 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: Derek Cashman has got to go. There's Wandy Oxygen, who 261 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: was supposed to sign with the Yankee He said, no, 262 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm not signing with the Yankees. I'm signing with the 263 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: Mets instead. The international prop Catserman's just he's poisoned this organization. 264 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: Norm want to sign with him. I feel, and I 265 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: always have since the Mets are a better organization, you know, 266 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: better put together a better future. 267 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, So I think the Mets have 268 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 2: been kind of falling apart, but they've also been like 269 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 2: taking our leftovers, you know. Yeah, I mean some like 270 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: ten x Yankees in the last couple of years. But 271 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: appreciate the call. Booker. I am a little bit pissed 272 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: off about the number two international prospect deciding to go 273 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 2: to the Mets after the Yankees got rid of their 274 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: you know, head international scout. What are your thoughts on 275 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: that situation. 276 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think the Mets are necessarily a better organization. 277 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: I don't think the Mets will ever be the Yankees. 278 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: They're always going to be a little bro, a little bro. 279 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers are a better run organization. I mean, 280 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: clearly they're being successful, and they have an exquisite scouting department, 281 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: and they manipulate payroll well and they build a team 282 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 3: that works well together. But the international prospect thing, to 283 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 3: me is like that's sort of just bigger than it is. 284 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: You never know what these process. I'll say a quick 285 00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 4: little story. 286 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: I went to the Dominican Republic when I was sixteen 287 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 3: in high school to play against those kids. Santo Domingo, 288 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: middle of nowhere. Actually that's that's a major city, but 289 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 3: my point being middle of the city, like bustling whatever. 290 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: We're playing against these kids. I'll always remember we played 291 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: against this kid. His name was Jason. 292 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 4: Guzman j E. 293 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: I s O N. 294 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 4: Jason Guzman. 295 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: He signed with the Kansas City Royals as a sixteen 296 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: year old switch hitting shortstop for two and a half 297 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: million dollars and liquid hands. The guy was one of 298 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: the best players I've ever seen play that I've ever 299 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: shared the field with, and he never made it past 300 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: I think high A. 301 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 4: You never know with these kids they're kids. They're kids. 302 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: You don't know, you don't know what they're going to 303 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: turn into. And the same thing. Jason Diminge is the 304 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 3: marsh in this big international prospect and he made it 305 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: all the way to the majors, which is already successful 306 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 3: for those international guys. That's already a huge success. But 307 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 3: you don't know if he's going to be a superstar. 308 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: So to me, that's like a bigger story than it 309 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: really is. It's just it's just an optics thing. 310 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: That's fair. You know, Roder Harry has never really became anything, 311 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: and he's I mean, he's still getting the prospect. But yeah, 312 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: then they don't always work out. Here's another call. 313 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Heny, Derek. 314 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 5: Can we play dream Weaver one left Time for all 315 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 5: time's sake? 316 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: Thank you doing that? 317 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 2: Oh man?

I mean, I know he didn't, 331 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 6: you know, come through the second half of last year 332 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 6: after the injury, but for me, he was still our 333 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 6: closer and lost his job unfairly. And I like bid Nor, 334 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 6: but I don't know. I don't think I felt dispad 335 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 6: about losing a release picture since Sparky Oile got traded. 336 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 7: And I know your generation doesn't know Sparky Oile, but 337 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 7: he deserves to do in the fantheon even more than 338 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 7: some of the guys from the Dynasty because he brought 339 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 7: our whole franchise back from the dead almost thandily back 340 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 7: in the early seventies. 341 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 6: But yeah, any of my favorite Yankee relievers of all 342 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 6: time were Sparky Oile ver Near Mendoza, and Luke Weaver, 343 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 6: I think, And so I still said that's all anyway, 344 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 6: be interested in your thoughts whenever you have your next program. 345 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: But sorry to hear that you lost one of your 346 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: favorite players there, Steve. Apparently the Yankees didn't make an offer, 347 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: and Luke Weaver didn't even give them a chance to 348 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: make the final bid. He just went to the Mets. 349 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: I'm not that worried about it, Like I like Luke 350 00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: Weaver as a pitcher, but I I felt like he 351 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: just couldn't. He just wasn't coachable. Last year they were 352 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 2: trying to fix him and he wasn't able to adapt 353 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 2: to the changes, and after that hamstring injury, he just 354 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: never came back the same. And for eleven million dollars 355 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: a year, I think the Yankees can find somebody who's effective. 356 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: They can find the next Luke Weaver, like they find 357 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 2: the next Chad Green, the next whoever. They seem to 358 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: be pretty good at that type of thing. 359 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean personally, again, I did like him a 360 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: lot the little clips they were doing. He was a 361 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: fun person out. He was my girlfriend's favorite player. She 362 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: had a shirt and everything. She's really sad about it. 363 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 3: But for eleven million dollars, I just don't think that 364 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 3: you're spending eleven million dollars on Luke Weaver. It's kind 365 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 3: of crazy, like the pitcher market where it's gone with 366 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz got Like I remember Zach Britten signing him. 367 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 3: So I think like eleven million dollars and that being 368 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 3: like ridiculous, and now that's kind of like, yeah, it's 369 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 3: a pretty good reliever. It's nothing special, But I think 370 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 3: the Yankees can do more with the eleven million dollars 371 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 3: than giving it to Luke Weaver. 372 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 5: Here's Brian, all right, what's going on, Derek? This is 373 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 5: my take here. Not sure what you'll think about it, 374 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 5: but I'd love to get your opinion. So I think, 375 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 5: first off, I think the Yankees a bit off more 376 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 5: than they could chew offering Trent Grisham the qualifying offer. 377 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 5: I think they were banking on him actually declining the 378 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 5: offer and then hopefully picking up a draft pick somewhere. 379 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 5: Since he grabbed that, that put us behind the eight ball. 380 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 5: I think, long story shorts, that's cyinar for Bellinger. I 381 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 5: don't think he's coming back. I don't think thirty million 382 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 5: for him is going to be sitting in the budget. 383 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 5: Having said that, I'd like to see what they could 384 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 5: do with a guy like Emi. I'd love to get 385 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 5: that guy on this team. I think he would just 386 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 5: be a nasty addition to the starting rotation. To be 387 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 5: honest with you and Finally, since the team is pretty 388 00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 5: much drained of right handed batting, this is probably to 389 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 5: take a lot of people will dislike. But I think 390 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 5: they should go after a guy like Rice Hoskins, a 391 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 5: guy who's played in the big market, a guy who's 392 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 5: coming off a down year, an opportunity to buy low 393 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 5: maybe like you know, two years, twenty five millions, something 394 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 5: like that, possibly and get the upside of a twenty 395 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 5: five home run seventy five RBI type of guy that 396 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 5: he can throw in the middle to the bottom half 397 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 5: of the lineup that's going to give you pop, and 398 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 5: he can give Rice some time off and see what happens, 399 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 5: all right, man sip. 400 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, looking at the roster, doesn't look too good, 401 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 2: and we don't have i'm Ed Rosario on here yet 402 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: because he hasn't been added by you know, MLB to 403 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: the forty man yet. But I think that there's there's 404 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 2: a lot of room for improvement here. 405 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:56,479 Speaker 7: TK. 406 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that call? 407 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 4: Hoskins? What's he gonna play? He plays first? 408 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Well, I think he's looking at a platoon. 409 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: I'd rather just let Ben Rice get better. 410 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 3: So don't want to have any time off. I want 411 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 3: him to get the reps. Yeah, I mean, play one 412 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty games. 413 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 2: The only way that you get better at doing something 414 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: is by doing it more. And I think the only 415 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: way that some of these guys are gonna get better 416 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: at hitting left handed pitching is by facing left handed pitching. 417 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: I mean, is that crazy? Is that crazy? 418 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: Okay? 419 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: Honestly, and you know, I know that this isn't really 420 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 3: a popular take, but I'm just trying to be realistic here. 421 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like the Yankees are gonna do much 422 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 3: like just reading the tea leaves. And like I said before, 423 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: maybe there's something that surprises us that I had no 424 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: idea that was coming. But it's this is kind of 425 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 3: the year to sort of quote unquote let the kids 426 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 3: play and you don't really know what you're gonna have, 427 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 3: but one of these years you're gonna have to do it. 428 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 3: So Ben Rice being one of them, all right, Grisham's back, yay, 429 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: But if he, you know, if he doesn't play well, 430 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: then then it's time to give Spencer Jones the shots. 431 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 3: See what he looks like. And Jason Dimingez every day 432 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 3: playing time. Like I know that Dimingez did not play 433 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 3: well and winter ball. But these kids, if you will, 434 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 3: they need the reps. They need the reps. They need 435 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 3: the experience of being in the major leagues and playing 436 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 3: every single day. A Rod talks about that at nauseum, 437 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 3: about consistency. You get a consistent routine. You know, baseball 438 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 3: players are creatures of habit. It's a very consistent sort 439 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 3: of based routine based sport. The way the season has 440 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: drawn out as well, so you know, I I Ben 441 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 3: Rice is to play and get as many at bats 442 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 3: as possible if he's healthy the entire season. I'm not kidding. 443 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: He should play at least one hundred and fifty games 444 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 3: at least. 445 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 7: Yep. 446 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 2: Well, let's go ahead and wrap it up and take 447 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: a few more. That is, we got a call here 448 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 2: about Cody Bellinger versus Tucker. We're not hearing much about 449 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 2: Tucker around the league. 450 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 7: Hey, it stands from Hauling USA calling you, Hey, Derek, 451 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 7: check this out when it comes to Bella during Tucker. 452 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 7: The other day, it dawned on me when you said 453 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 7: that the Yankee Dome value Spenser Jones that much. That's 454 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 7: what it hit me, like, Eureka, I want Spencer Jones. 455 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 7: You know why? 456 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: Because the Yankees always misjudged that prospects always missed that. Yeah, 457 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 2: he goes on for a little bit about that, but 458 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: I I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. I mean, I 459 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 2: I do know that they tend to misjudge their prospects. 460 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 2: But I'm just not super high on Spencer Jones. Man, 461 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 2: where are you at with him? 462 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: The strikeouts are concerning. I'm very high on him defensively 463 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 3: because I think he's very athletic, and he's very fast, 464 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 3: and I do think he'd be a really good center fielder. 465 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 3: But offensively, obviously he's got pop. He kind of had 466 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 3: that insane stretch in the minor leagues. But the strikeouts 467 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 3: are concerning. The strikeouts are definitely a problem. He would 468 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: have to make a lot of tweaks to his swing 469 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: in that way. But it's He's what he's gonna be 470 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 3: twenty five years old. Let's go trade him or play 471 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 3: him like you know that, do something with him, don't 472 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 3: just lose him for nothing. It drives me crazy when 473 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 3: the Yankees do that. They did the same thing to 474 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 3: Clint Frasier, you know he did never really They did 475 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: the same thing to Miguel and do hard like It's 476 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: just like, let let this dude show you something. At 477 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 3: least give him a chance in spring training to make 478 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: to make the opening geor like give him that opportun 479 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: comunity to at least fight for a job on the 480 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 3: opening Gaate roster. 481 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: I hear you action. VJ says, Damn, I miss baseball 482 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: and I miss it when things would happen during the offseason. TK, 483 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 2: thanks for joining again. We'll be back whenever there is 484 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: fresh news. I hope everybody has a great weekend. If 485 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: there is not any news, we will have some content 486 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: next week, even though it's a holiday week. I'm planning 487 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: to do a show on Monday and then maybe Friday, 488 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: day after Christmas. But we'll see what happens.
