WEBVTT - It's Trade Deadline Day! 0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:02.160 One to cook. 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:02.640 That's all. 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.840 Good morning, everybody, and happy trade deadline day to those 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.840 of you who celebrate. The Yankees made their first move, 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:16.599 now their first two moves this weekend, if you count 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.880 Camello Doval getting traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and it 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.319 is the day that everybody looks forward to all year long. 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.000 We are less than ten hours now away from finding 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:33.519 out what roster the Yankees will try and use to 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.600 win the American League East, to try and win the 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.920 American League, to try and get home field advantage. And 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.440 yesterday they obviously tried to address the offense a little 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.360 bit by adding Luis Garcia Junior. I'll talk more about 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.400 his role here in a few minutes, but I want 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.760 to begin with the trade speculation. It seems like every 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.080 year there's a ton of different rumors and most of 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.800 them never happen. Okay, but this year we've already seen 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.160 a couple of big names moved. Trek Schouble got moved already. 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.720 He went to the Dodgers. Freddie Peralto went to the Rays. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.319 He's obviously not having a great year, but I have 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.280 full confidence that the Rays will be able to unlock 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.160 something that the Mets could not, especially with a guy 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.120 who's got a track record. I mean, this is not 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.080 a guy who's just learning how to pitch, and he's 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.240 gonna be pitching for something. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:24.960 Now. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.640 The Red Sox will continue to be aggressive. They had 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.080 gotten Connor Mead, he got injured. We'll see what else 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.800 they have in mind. There are some names out there 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.880 for the Yankees to pick from, and I expect that 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.680 Brian Cashman has already been on the phone this morning. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.960 If he ever went to bed, he has hopefully gotten 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.160 up early and made a few calls. Everybody's been talking 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.320 about Luis a rise for the last I don't know, 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:55.160 several years, because this team quite frankly, has struggled to 0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:01.920 put together hits for the last decade plus. And you know, 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.960 with the addition of a left handed bat yesterday in Garcia, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.000 I think it's less likely that they go out and 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.120 get another left handed bat. But this is a guy 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.880 who hits over three hundred versus lefties and versus righty, 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.200 so I don't think it's a huge deal. I think 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.520 the big kind of roadblock here is if you can 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.720 find someone to take Jazz Chisholm, because if you can't 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.639 do that then you can't go out and get Luisa 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.520 Rise because you have nowhere to play him. And I'm 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.680 not sure the Yankees want to do that. Quite frankly, 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.000 I think they believe Jazz is a better all round 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.280 player than a Rise. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:36.680 I disagree. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:42.320 I think that Jazz is more athletic, for sure, but 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.600 I think a Rise would fit better into how the 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.120 Yankees are currently constructed. It's not like he's thirty five 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.040 years old either. This guy's twenty nine. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:49.520 He's still good. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.720 He's got an eight hundred ops, he's hitting three twenty four, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.200 and it's really not that complicated. But one of the 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.120 biggest problems for the Yankees the last few years is 0:02:59.160 --> 0:02:59.560 that they just. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:00.640 Don't get enough hits. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:06.480 They have overvalued home runs and they have undervalued timely 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.320 contact hitting, and that is one reason why the Yankees 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.760 are hitting two thirty two as a team and they're 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.320 eleventh in Major League Baseball in run scored. Of course, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.359 they are missing Judge, they are missing Bellinger, they are 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.280 missing Stanton, They're missing three guys that they counted on. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.640 But they need some offense, and I think a Rise 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.040 would be a nice fit. We got a super chat 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:36.040 here from smash or pass who says after losing three relievers, 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.880 wouldn't you think we have one coming back? Brazovan looks 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.800 to be dealt, but no reports yet on where. I 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.800 do think that the Yankees are going to try and 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.840 get a relief pitcher. We will talk more about that 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.200 in just a minute. I think they have a big 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:49.840 one in mind. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:50.600 I really do. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:57.680 And when you look at the return that the Tigers 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:03.560 got for Trek Scoobel, it was really underwhelming. So you know, 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.480 for some of these moves, don't be shocked if the 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.960 Yankees are actually able to pull something off and get 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.480 a guy for less than has been talked about, because 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.360 we don't know what the conversations are really like behind 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.919 the scenes. But anyway, we always get comments that Luis 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.400 Arise can't play defense. That is not true anymore. He's 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.920 been working with Ron Washington out there in San Francisco 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.680 and he's turned himself in pretty good defensive second baseman. 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.120 This year goes to show you that coaching is a 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.440 big deal. But I think that Luis Arise as somebody 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.800 the Yankees should take a look at today and that 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.000 moving jazzism would be a move that I would make 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.320 if I were the GM, if I ever become the Yankees, 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:47.040 GM not gonna happen, but you can rest assured that 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:48.919 I'm gonna. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.840 I would put a focus. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.240 Where this team is not, and that is on contact 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.200 hitting ability. You know, I think it's super important. Another 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.400 guy who could be moved today is ad Lee Hushman. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.039 The Yankees and Orioles are apparently talking it over. This 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.599 is a guy that was a super prospect at one point, 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.839 just a massive prospect. He has obviously never lived up 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.640 to the hype. He's been okay, He's had a lot 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.960 of injuries. He's been on the injured list three times 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.520 this year. He's on the injured list right now with 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:25.920 left wrist inflammation, and he had left ankle inflammation earlier 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.320 this year. He also suffered a concussion after taking an 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.240 errant throw to the noggin. But the Baltimore Orioles are 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.280 apparently asking for a package that includes some young pitching, 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.000 controllable pitching, so they're looking at maybe Will Warren, maybe 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.560 Ryan Weathers. The framework of the deal, as they say, 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.080 seems to be kind of coming together, and it's just 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.760 a matter of like who else is involved? What are 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.200 those other fringe prospects that get added to the deal. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:54.839 But I think Rushman is going to be a Yankee 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.680 before the end of the day. The guy who just 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.880 turned twenty eight on February sixth. And we've seen that 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.920 Cashman loves to go out and get super prospects who 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.919 didn't quite make it, to try and turn them around. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.719 You know, you look at you know, Cliff Fraser was 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.279 a big time prospect with the Indians when they traded 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.600 for him. Now he hadn't failed yet. But you know, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.279 rugnet o'dor is a guy that was a big time 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.640 prospect at one point. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:20.760 There's others. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.440 It's too early in the morning and I'm on too 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.880 little sleep to think of them all. But that's something 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.680 that Cashman likes to do. Go get an ex prospect 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.680 who has become an average Major leaguer and try and 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.640 unlock that talent that made them a prospect in the 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.119 first place. So look for Adlie Rushman to get moved today. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.159 The question is whether or not he will go to 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:39.880 the Yankees. 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:41.680 But if you can keep. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.039 Him healthy, he's a pretty good ballplayer, good defensive player 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:50.800 and nearing a return. So I do expect that the 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.080 Yankees will try and upgrade the catching position. If they 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.680 can't get Rushman, look for them to go in another direction. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.800 It's also not out of the question that Ben Rice 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.480 is going to catch. Bowden said yesterday that Rice was 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.640 probably gonna catch more, and then Jack Curry refuted that, 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.120 I think Ben Rice could be an option at catcher 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.760 because Austin Wells has been so bad and Ali Sanchez, 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:19.040 I mean, Jesus, you gotta go. I mean you instantly. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.080 You strengthen the lineup by putting a good hitter at catcher. 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.920 So we'll see. Another guy who is on everybody's mind 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:31.000 is Mason Miller of the San Diego Padres. But the 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.400 cost for him is gonna be much higher than the 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.320 Yankees are trying to pay right now. Apparently they are 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:41.200 asking for multiple top prospects, including George Lombard Junior. But 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.560 zero point seven to six ERA this season for Mason Miller, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.840 and he is on pace for one hundred and twenty 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.360 seven strikeouts out of the bullpen. 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.960 That is astronomical. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.920 You guys might remember in nineteen ninety six where Mariano 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.120 Rivera had one hundred and thirty strikeouts. 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:00.200 Out of the pen. 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.200 You know that's and he was throwing like two innings though, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:08.240 but hey, this guy makes you miss and that is 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.360 a huge, huge, huge deal. In the playoffs, I think 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.080 that there's a good chance that he gets moved and 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.680 the Yankees are going to be first in line, and 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.440 he is somebody I could see them giving up some 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.240 prospects for though. I think they will keep on or 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.600 hold on to George Lombard Junior, who went four for 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.760 five in the win yesterday and now is hitting two 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.760 sixty eight with six home runs and twenty one RBIs 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.719 and eight forty five ops four h five on base percentage, 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.760 and he has been turning it around since coming back 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.040 from the injury list nolver's last five games, hitting three 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:46.160 forty eight. I'd expect him to be a Yankee at shortstop, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.920 maybe even this week, so we have that to look 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.000 forward to. But Mason Miller, I think could be a massive, 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:53.720 massive deal. 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:54.280 CJ. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.040 Abrams is still out there. The Yankees are, you know, 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.360 thinking about shortstop. But I would think that if he 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.000 was going to be part of a trade, it probably 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.840 would have happened with the Luis Garcia trade. You know, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.760 if you're dealing with the Nationals, why not just do 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.360 a massive trade all at once. But this is guy 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.400 who's on pace for forty home runs a shortstop. Not 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.240 a lot of shortstops have done that. So not a 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.640 great defender, but that's no stranger to the Yankees. I mean, 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.480 they kept running Volte out there when they knew he stunk. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.680 Last year, they ran ikf out there in the playoffs, 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.120 and he's not a good defender. I mean, if you 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.920 can get a hitter, get some offense, it'll make up 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.480 for a little bit of the defense. I think there's 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.520 an option, but like I said, I think Lombard Junior 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.040 is the guy, although I would not be opposed to 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:45.080 getting CJ. Abrams and playing him at third base if 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:45.520 he was. 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:46.280 Willing to do it. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.400 There have been times in the past that the Yankees 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.400 have acquired a shortstop, a good hitting shortstop who has 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:52.520 moved to third base. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.559 We'll see, but there's. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:59.240 Gonna be a lot of trade talk today, So Brian 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.319 Cashman is on the clock. We'll see what deals he makes. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.800 Let me know in the comments what deals you want 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.600 him to make. The Safe Situation says pass on Abrams. 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:15.880 I think the Yankees will pass on Abrams. Seven Tribes 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:21.880 says we want Jeffy. I think he means Jeffers Ryan Jeffers. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.760 But here's the deal is that the Twins have been 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:26.160 playing better and they might hold. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.240 On to him because they think they can win with him. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.400 He went one for four yesterday in the loss of 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.560 the Mariners, hitting two ninety one with ten home runs 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.839 any nine to nineteen ops. I think he would be 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.079 a nice pickup, but I do expect the Yankees to 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.840 add a catcher today. Let's talk a little bit about 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.160 Luis Garcia Junior, who the Yankees got yesterday. One thing 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.079 is for sure, he will not be wearing number two. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.880 He is still listed as number two, and I can 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.240 guarantee you that when he takes the field tonight, hopefully 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.720 when he arrives at Yankee Stadium, he will not be 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.439 wearing number two. That number is retired for Derek Jeter. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.640 This is a guy with mass of power, and this 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.560 is a spot where the Yankees certainly didn't need to 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.520 add a first baseman slash DH. Right when everybody was 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:12.160 doing their trade prediction videos and podcasts, nobody had the 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.880 Yankees thinking, Okay, you know what we need. Let's go 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.600 ahead and get a first basement slash DH, although with 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.360 the way the Cashman operates, maybe we should start thinking 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.520 that way. What don't the Yankees need? Maybe that's what 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.280 they'll go get. But anyway, they did need some offense, 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.200 so I think it's a good call to add a 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.440 bat and then just try and figure out a spot 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.160 where he fits. They already have Ben Rice, they already 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.640 have Paul Goldschmidt. They have a half a dozen players 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.240 who could rotate through the DH spot. Obviously, a left 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.080 handed first baseman was not the top priority. But this 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.000 is a guy who's just entering his prime. He just 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.880 turned twenty six years old in May, and he is 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.840 on pacer over thirty home runs. He has kind of 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.160 what's the word, he's flipped the switch right. I was 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.960 watching Chelsea James, who's covered the teams in that area 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.800 for a while, and she basically said that he's a 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.719 good guy. He makes improvements and that he's finally just 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.880 kind of like coming into his own he's figuring it out. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.079 And she said that he's improving against lefties too. So 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.439 we'll see. Maybe the Yankees are finally trading for somebody 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.400 who's like on the upswing. But we'll see how they 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.760 screw him up, but clearly not trying to fill a 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.160 hole at first base, but more like trying to add 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:27.000 to the offense. I think that the first priority today 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.880 should be adding a right handed bat, even with Judge 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.679 coming back, even with John Carlos Stanton potentially coming back, 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.360 Cody Bellinger coming back, eventually he hits lefties. I think 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.200 the Yankees need a right handed bat, and in addition 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.080 to Garcia, they need one more hitter. So maybe it's Jeffers, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.600 Maybe it's Rushman, who's a switch hitter, you know, maybe 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.640 it is Odo Lopez or you know, Xavier Edwards. Maybe 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.560 it's Louis or Eyes who's a lefty but hits lefties. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:56.439 They need. I think they need a. 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.520 Right handed, traditional right handed bat, and not necessarily a 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:04.160 power back a line drive hitter. Okay, so let's just 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.880 go ahead and get through the series recap. I was 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:10.200 gonna do this yesterday, but we got interrupted by the trade. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.800 So the Yankees took two out of three from the Cubs. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.079 Good series for Spencer Jones. Talk more about him in 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.959 just a minute. Jose Cabaliro had four hits in the series, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.560 including a big home run yesterday. Ahmed Rosario with a 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.640 four hundred and fifty foot home run. Ali Sanchez had 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:35.439 three hits. Will Warren possibly future Oriole had a good game. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.880 Max Free through the ball well. Bullpen was solid. Bednar 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.240 and Blackburn both threw the ball well. As we take 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.200 a look at the starting pitching game scores. Highest game 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:51.120 score was Will Warren at sixty nine, very nice. Max 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:55.360 Freed had a sixty three game score. He's got a 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.439 three point one two ELRA this season. He did get 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.480 a no decision, and Garrett Cole threw the ball well 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.280 yesterday five and five now on the season with a 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.760 three point four to two ERA. Take a look at 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:10.440 the bullpen. David Bednar through two and a third innings 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.800 in the series. Paul Blackburn continued to throw the ball well. 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.680 On hel Cheve has been solid. He's got a zero 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.040 point five to seven ERA since coming to the Yankees. 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.160 And Giovanni Cruz traded but through a scoreless or through 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.160 a solid and he didn't give up a run, but 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.680 he got traded. It's so weird how they treated him. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.600 They kept him in the minor leagues. I don't know 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.560 if they were trying not to expose him. And you know, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.920 the Nats just didn't fall for it, but they wanted 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:38.720 a relief pitcher. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:39.360 They got him. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.200 Brent Hedrick had a good series and he got the 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:48.080 belt yesterday. And Fernando Cruz through two thirds inn and 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.960 gave up two runs, so not very good. It is 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:56.160 Cam Schlitdler day, and oops, that's the wrong thing. Hang on, 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.640 let me pull up Cam Schlitzler. That's the second second 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.800 coffee break in a row that we have not pulled 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.560 up Cam Schlittler. I'm just gonna fix this right now 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.960 while we're talking, and we will have Cam Schlitler on 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:12.280 the screen and we'll talk all about him. Yeah, he 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.640 is going for win number eleven, and I feel like, uh, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.040 this is a guy who has a lot of pressure 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.120 on him to carry the team right now because he's 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:25.760 been so great. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:26.640 But he's got a point. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.760 He's approaching that point in the season where he's getting 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.680 to her innings limit where the Yankies are gonna have 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.440 to be careful with him. Hang on just a second, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.400 I pull up camp Schlitler's numbers. Last time it was 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.320 Ben right, it was Max Freed, and this time it 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:47.240 is showing the wrong dude. I see how the sausage 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.000 is made. Okay, there you go, Cam Schlittler. Take a 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.400 look at his numbers here, two point zero four e 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.440 RA ten and six on the season, one hundred and 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.360 sixty five strikeout, one hundred and thirty six and two 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.560 thirds doing so. What I was saying before I got 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.640 distracted by my own technical glitch is that we gotta 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.680 be careful with his innings. He's on pace for one 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.600 hundred and ninety seven innings this year. The Yankees might 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.520 try and kind of maybe not go as deep in 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.920 games with him, Especially with a guy who's just pumping 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.720 fastbaf to fastba off to fastball. You don't want him 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.000 to wear out before the postseason and then be dead 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.360 in the division series. So they've been riding him pretty 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.000 hard and putting him up wet. I think now that 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.960 you've got Garrett Cole rounding into form, and now that 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.640 you've got Max fried back in the rotation, Carls Roddan 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.960 coming back soon, I think maybe you can afford to, 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.320 you know, maybe give Cam Schlitzler a couple of innings 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.720 off here in there if you get a lead, go 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.040 to the bullpen, maybe an inning earlier, just to keep 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.080 him fresh. And I know it's not ideal, but I 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.120 would look for that to start happening right around now, 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.040 because we're entering the dog days of August when guys 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:57.000 have hard inning limits and so forth. A lot of 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:58.480 times what the Yankees will do is give them a 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.240 phantom il trip too. So you remember Nesta Cortez a 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.040 few years ago the Yankees did that. Don't be shocked 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.600 if they put Schlitzler on the eel at some point 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:12.000 with like, you know, some bullshit injury and like headaches. Right, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.840 it was Austin Wells had headaches and they put him 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.359 on the eyelink. I think you might see something like 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.320 that over the next six weeks as they as they 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.400 try and rest him. But it all, I think come 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.800 down to what the Yankees do today and how the roster. 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.000 Is shaping up. 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:35.119 Okay, let's take a few voicemails here. Let's begin with actually, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.320 you know what. Before we get to that, let's go 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.479 to the Nostra Derek pic. That is because we are 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.760 taking Schlittler for eight strikeouts and we're taking Spencer Jones 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.080 for another home run. He's been swinging the bat. Well, 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.280 let me know in the comments who you think is 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.439 going deep. I mean, maybe Garcia goes deep. In his 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.359 first game at Yankee Stadium, he hits the ball in 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.159 the air to right field a lot as we take 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.840 a look at what to watch final day of trade frenzy. 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.520 Will there be moves or will there be just a 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.040 lot more hot air? How are our rivals going to 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.679 approach the deadline? Rays picked up Freddy Peralta. Will the 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.040 Red Sox do anything? And then will the Yankees be 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:16.200 able to put some runs together? 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:16.600 Tonight? 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.840 Two and a half runs for the Yankees over under tonight? 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:26.200 All right, now, it's voicemail time. Let's start with Ray. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.560 Hey, Derek a crub, you buddy, Ray? Just colin, lets 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.520 you guys know that I personally feel that what I've 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.840 been seeing last like week or so is that Spencer 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.600 Jones is starting to adjust to being a major league 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.719 ball player and it's only starting to scratch the surface. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:40.800 And he looks scary good. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:42.080 He looks scary good. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:43.800 He looks like exactly the kind of player we need, 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.719 the kind of player we'd be hoping to get unfined, 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.920 and not the one we should be trading right now. 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:50.760 And I honestly think that when I look around the 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:55.240 trade market. All I'm seeing is rentals that would see 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.199 with the squeeze, don't care how good the guy is, 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.640 or guys that it's a next move, like oh he'll 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:02.680 fit in good here or that. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.960 Fuck that shit. Keep Spencer Jones, keep. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.800 George Lombard, trade away some of the pitching that we 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.760 have in the miners and try to get an Aola 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.760 Lopez or Leisa Rise and let's just rock with what 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.439 we have, because i feel like, especially with the trade 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.240 of the strike looming, that you don't want to go 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.960 out and get rid of cheap, affordable talent while you 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.720 have them and a time where we're about to possibly 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.960 be very into a salary Cathera, it would seem highly counterintuitive. 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.280 So I'm looking at it like, honestly, out the yeh, 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:33.840 you could. 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.639 Have got Schooble and some other guys and still probably 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.760 not beat the Dodgers. So let's just rock with the 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.800 team we have, and maybe they're gonna surprise us and 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.560 at the very least keep them together this year will 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.360 make them that much more dangerous together as a team 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:45.800 next year. 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.760 Appreciate the call, right, Appreciate the call. 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.840 I'm loving what we're seeing from Spencer Jones, and I 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:58.240 just showed that his WRC plus is about fifteen percent 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:02.159 over league average. It is one third thirteen, so thirteen 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.720 percent over league average. And he's got some real He's 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.359 got some real pop that is real, real power. The 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.760 question is will he be able to make enough contact. 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.400 Thirty seven point six percent strikeout rate, You need to 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.040 drop that down to about thirty maybe even like thirty 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.280 one or thirty two. If he can get into that 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.760 range and just make like five percent more contact, he's 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.919
