1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: The World Series is over, which means the Major League

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: Baseball off season or Hot Stove League has officially begun,

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: and so has the Yankees mission for Championship number twenty eight.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: In this episode, I am joined by Terrence Cam we

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: call him TK, and we are going to talk about

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: the Yankees off season targets and our personal wish list.

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Will the Yankees get Kyle Tucker, Will they bring back

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger or Trent Grisham, Will they go after pitching?

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Could Paul Skeens be an opportunity. We'll talk about all

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: of that next coming up right here on Pinstripe Territory

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: lim to cook at Bool. Just wanted to talk, that's

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: all talking to my good friend, co host, part time

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: mister Terrence Kim TK. We got some work to do

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: because the Dodgers have just repeated as World champions and

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: a team from our division dethroned us as American League champions.

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: So in this episode we're gonna run it all down

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: how the Yankees can get back on top. How you doing,

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: my friend doing?

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: Good man, It's been a little bit, a little break.

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: It's funny. Everyone was asking me if I was watching

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I literally didn't watch a second. As soon

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: as the Yankees got eliminated, I didn't watch anything. I

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: just went in full fibernation. When the Dodgers won the

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: World Series, there were fireworks going off around my apartment building.

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: I was salty about it. Downtown La looked like Gotham City.

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I was salty, so didn't watch a second.

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: I watched most of the World Series. I tapped out

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: during that eighteen inning game after about the eleventh thning,

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: but I watched every pitch of Game seven and it

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: was an incredible, incredible World Series. But in this episode,

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna kind of run down the hot stove timeline,

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: what's next as the Yankees try and rebuild a champion,

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: the free agents that you can expect. We're gonna count

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: down the top trade candidates that are being thrown out there.

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about bo Bashett, who had that big

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: home run in the World Series, but Alte is a

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: free agent and you know, might not come back to

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays. We'll see. We're gonna talk about

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker versus Cody Bellinger. I want to get your

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. We're gonna talk about Skeens versus Scooball

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: and our guy Brian Bashman says, give it up on Skeens. Well,

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: here's the thing about Skeens. He is a humongous difference maker,

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: and there is a non zero chance that he gets

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: moved because Major League Baseball does not like him pitching

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, and you know he wants to win. He's

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: in his prime. He had a seven point six war

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: last year, I mean as a pitcher up sub too Era.

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: So don't count the Yankees out. We know that they

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: are interested. Cashman said as much, which he never says.

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: There was a rumor today actually a proposal from an

51
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: s n Y writer who proposed Spencer Jones for Stephen Kwan.

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: So we'll cover that, and then Terrence and I put

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: together our twenty twenty six rosters, which are they're just bonkers, TK,

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: They're they're they're like best case scenario for both of us,

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: So stick around for that. That'll be what we wrap

56
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: up with. But first let's kind of go over the

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: offseason dates that we got to look at. So the

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: qualifying offer deadline and free agency is November sixth, and

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: then we got awards weeks. Awards week November ten through thirteenth, TK.

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Do you think you know that Judge is gonna win

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: the MVP or do you think they're gonna give it

62
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: to cal Rawley. We know that Jose Ramirez is the

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: number three candidate now, but I don't think he's really

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: got a chance to beat either Judge or cal Raley.

65
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: No, there's no way that Ramirez is gonna win. I unfortunately,

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: I think cal Rally is going to win it. I

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: don't think he should win. I think that Aaron Judge

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: deserves to win the MVPs had the better overall season. Look,

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: it's not to take anything away from what cal Rally

70
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: did this season. Had sixty home runs as a switch

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: hitting catcher is unbelievable. You know, I'm you heard it

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: here first unbelievable season.

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: But this.

74
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, first place you heard it right. But to me,

75
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: this is almost like a similar situation. But the other

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: way around is twenty seventeen where al Tuve who cheated,

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: but Altuve who won the MVP that year, who hit

78
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: like three forty that season, and Judge hit two eighty

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: four with the fifty two home runs. Like if you

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: look at that season, Judge, Judge kind of got robbed too,

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: cheating or not cheating, just stats alone, and I feel

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: like it's almost like keep that same energy. You know

83
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: that Raley had more home runs, but it's gonna go

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: the other way. I think there's a little bit of

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: a judge fatigue, a little bit of a Yankee bias,

86
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: and I think just the sheer, just impressiveness of a

87
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: guy hitting sixty home runs as a catcher will win

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: him the award.

89
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: We got the qualifying offer decisions due on November eighteenth.

90
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Do you think the Yankees are going to offer Trent

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Grisham a qualifying offer? It's about twenty two million bucks.

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: It would be a big raise for him and it

93
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: would put him back in center field. Do you think

94
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: that they'll offer him and do you think that he'll

95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: take it.

96
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: I think they'll offer to him, and I think that

97
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: he will not take it, just because I've seen Baseball

98
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: America is like projecting on the contracts that they think

99
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: guys are gonna get, and I think I saw Trent

100
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: grish from five years for one thirty And if you're

101
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: Trent grish you know this is your chance to really

102
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: break the bank and really cash in. And it's not

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: that twenty two million is not a lot of money.

104
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: It is a lot of money, but I think he's

105
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: looking for a little bit of more security in the contract,

106
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: multiple years. I think multiple years is really what he's

107
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: looking for. So just the one year aspect I think

108
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: is not that attractive to him. And I'm sure his

109
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: agent's telling him you could definitely get a four to

110
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: six year deal at over one hundred million. So yes,

111
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: the Yankees I think are definitely going to offer it,

112
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: but I don't think he'll accept it.

113
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: And that would mean a draft pick for the Yankees,

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: but I believe it's after the fourth round, so it's

115
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: not like it used to be where you would get

116
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick, you know, So that'll be

117
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens there. We've got the Winter

118
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Meetings on December seventh through the tenth. I might try

119
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: and go to that. We'll see, but that's usually where

120
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: most of the action happens. A couple of years ago,

121
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: there was nothing. I remember MLB was disappointed about that,

122
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: but we'll see. We'll see how that shakes out. And

123
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: the Rule five draft, which is always interesting. January fifteenth,

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: the international signing period begins and then, of course, this

125
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: year we got the I should say, next year we

126
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: got the World Baseball Classic. And I'm gonna say this

127
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: right now, if Aaron Judge gets hurt playing in the

128
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, I am going to go absolutely ballistic.

129
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: So that's all we gotta say about that. But let's

130
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: go ahead and dive into the free agency because there's

131
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot of big names out there. We know the

132
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: Yankees aren't gonna sit completely still, So for the people listening,

133
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run this down some of the big names.

134
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: We got Bregman, we got Bobaschett. Both of those guys

135
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: would fit with the Yankees on the left side of

136
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: the infield. Chris Saale, Cody Bellinger, Devin Williams, a couple

137
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: of guys we're familiar with. Dylan Ceaze is a free agent.

138
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz makes a lot of sense. Johanneo Suarez who

139
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: had a big postseason. He is a free agent. Ranbur

140
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: Valdez who hit his catcher intentionally with a pitch. Remember that.

141
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: We'll see how that hurts him. I think he's probably

142
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: gonna end up somewhere other than the Astros. I think

143
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: he might have worn out as welcome there. Galabor Torre,

144
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: free agent, Hassan Kim he opted out today. He is

145
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: somebody that we can take a look at. But he

146
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: is one of these guys that plays good defense, but

147
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: not much of a hitter, just a two thirty four

148
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: average this year two thirty three. The year before thirty

149
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: years old, we got Isaiah kinder Pileffo, who came that

150
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: short in the World Series to scoring a big run.

151
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Blamed his coaching for holding him tight.

152
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: JT.

153
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Real Muto is a guy that we've seen a lot

154
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: of Yankees fans talk about. Right handed catcher, nearing the

155
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: end of his career, but still a useful player. He

156
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: had a positive war He's a you know, obviously a

157
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: threat from the right side of the plate. I could

158
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: see him pairing up nicely with Austin Wells or Ben

159
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Rice as kind of a platoon. And I know you've

160
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: got some thoughts on him, so we'll talk about him later.

161
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor is a free agent. Kyle Schwarber of fifty

162
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: plus home runs. Free agent Kyle Tucker, the biggest free agent,

163
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: probably gonna get over three hundred, maybe even four hundred

164
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: million dollars. Lordus Gorriel Junior, Luis Ariaz somebody that the

165
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: Yankees fans have wanted for a long time, But I

166
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's the same hitter he was a few

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: years back. Michael King opted out today, declined it declined

168
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: his option. He is going to be a free agent.

169
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: Miguel and Duhar maybe do makeey two bags, Minnetaka, Murrikami,

170
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt won't be back, Pete Alonzo from Across Town,

171
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Rossiel and Galazias, Ranger Suarez, Rob Refsneider, Robert Suarez, Ryan Helsley,

172
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: Trent Grisham, Victor Carrattini, Willie Castro, and Zach Gallen. So

173
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: just going through this list, is there anybody that you

174
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: can think of right now that makes the most sense

175
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: for you?

176
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of good names. Boba Schett's interesting,

177
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: a couple guys that obviously were on the team, Cody

178
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: Bellinger if they want to retain him. Edwin Diaz is

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: interesting as a closer. But I feel like the Yankees

180
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: at this point, I think, ever since giving Britten and

181
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: chab In the the the contracts, I don't think they

182
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: like paying relievers that much, especially for long term deals.

183
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber. He's a DH but the guy did just

184
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: hit over fifty home runs and he's you know that.

185
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: I heard that he had the Red Sox might be involved,

186
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: and that's almost one of those like we got to

187
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: get him so they can't get him, you know, Michael King,

188
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: there were obviously they were saying that they would be

189
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: interested in a reunion. I think that makes a lot

190
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: of sense as well, if you want to go that road.

191
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: But for me, it's kind of JT. Real Muto is

192
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: kind of the obvious one. This guy who's, like you said,

193
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: kind of on the back nine of his career at

194
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: this point. But a right handed catcher. They had three

195
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: lefty catchers. That doesn't really make any sense. You got

196
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: to have one of them that's right handed. He's a

197
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: veteran guy who's been around the game a long time.

198
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: He was in a big market with the Phillies just now.

199
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he would cost too much money. I

200
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 2: think it's like a two year deal, Max, And I

201
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: think that if you grabbed him, they would be a

202
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: nice little piece. Like you said that tandem with Wells

203
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: to have you know Wells, and I guess real Mudio

204
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: would be the star and Welles would be the backup,

205
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: or you would just kind of star Wells kind of

206
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: against some rieties or something like that. But that would

207
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: probably be the name I think in free agency that

208
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: I would be most interested in. I don't really feel

209
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: like there's a slam dunk Huan Soto guy out there,

210
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: you know where it's like everybody's gonna want him, right,

211
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: So Boba Schet, maybe Dylan Cees. You know, there's some

212
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: names out there, but nothing that I'm like blown away by.

213
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: There's it's heavy in pitching this year. I think there's

214
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that that teams will want. The

215
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: pitchers usually get the most attention anyway, because every team

216
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: needs pitching. And somebody pointed out that we don't have

217
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: Okamoto on here. There's a lot of free agents that

218
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: we don't have. I mean, we can only fit so

219
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: many guys, but this is kind of the big board

220
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: of folks. Okamoto is a first basement slash third basement

221
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: from Japan. You posted by the Yomiuri Giants, So we'll

222
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: see how that shakes out. But I don't know if

223
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: the Yankees will be interested. It's possible, but I think

224
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: that there's a few guys on here that I'm very,

225
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: very already interested in for the Yankees. I really like

226
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: the idea of Edwin Diaz. I think both Bragman and

227
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: Bashett would make sense for the Yankees. I know that

228
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: they have Ryan McMahon at third base. I'm not in

229
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: love with Ryan McMahon. I know he made some nice

230
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: defensive plays. Dude can't hit. We need a right handed

231
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: bat who can make contact. I think that, you know,

232
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: both Bragman and Bashett fit the bill. I think Bishett

233
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: probably will want to go back to Toronto, especially given

234
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: the way it ended. He wants to take another stab

235
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: at it. You know, I'm not completely out on pitching.

236
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always Michael King makes a lot of

237
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: sense if you want to bring him in. We got

238
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: some guys injured. I mean, Carlos Rodon is having surgery.

239
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: We's gonna miss spring training. Do we really count on

240
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: him to be in shape? I mean, remember what happened

241
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when he missed spring training.

242
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: He was awful. You know, when is Garrett Cole gonna

243
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: be back? I mean, we got a lot of decisions here.

244
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: I don't see them being all that interested in and

245
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: like Chris Saal or any of the older kind of pitchers.

246
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, I could see him having some interest in JT.

247
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: Real Muto as kind of that, you know, supplemental catcher,

248
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: but he'll probably get a starting job somewhere. I would

249
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: imagine Miguel Ian Duhar makes a little bit of sense

250
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: for me as a contact bat who could fill in

251
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: the outfield, maybe a platoonum with Jason Dominguez, right, I

252
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: mean Jason Dominguez against righty's and Duhar against lefties. Even

253
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Rob Refsnyder. He's played, you know, a lot of outfield

254
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: in Boston, and he's killed the Yankees and again hits

255
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: lefties very very well. I've seen some people mention Kyle Schwarber.

256
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it makes any sense, not while John

257
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton is on the team. And when we reveal

258
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: our crazy predictions for how we're gonna shake out our rosters,

259
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: you will see that I did not include John Carlos Stanton.

260
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: I got rid of a couple of guys. I got

261
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: rid of a couple of big names in my fantasy

262
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: world here. But overall, I think it's gonna be a

263
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: very interesting winter for the Yankees. I could see them

264
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: being extremely active free agency and trades, and I can

265
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: also see them mostly sitting still and saying, hey, we

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: want to go with the young guys. So that's kind

267
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: of the lay of the landscape. I want to talk

268
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: a little bit about Bobashett. Let's start with him. Three

269
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: to eleven average, is a power and an RBI threat,

270
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: three point four war just twenty seven years old. The

271
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: only cost money. You don't have to trade anybody to

272
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: get him. He can play shortstop next year while Lombard

273
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: comes up through the system. You can also put him

274
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: at third base, you know, and move McMahon out of there.

275
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: He can play second, but he proved that in the

276
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: World Series, and you can put him there and move

277
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Jazz back to third and still get a short stop.

278
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: I think he makes a lot of sense from an

279
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: offensive standpoint, and that's, in my opinion, something the Yankees need.

280
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: They need hits. They need guys who drive in runs,

281
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: who make contact, who hit good pitching. So what are

282
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Bobashet just as a player and kind

283
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: of what do you think he'll go back to Toronto?

284
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, offensively, I think makes a ton of sense. I

285
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: think it's a bit of a clunky fit defensively, but

286
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna leave Toronto. I feel like Toronto,

287
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: obviously they came so close two outs away, and he's

288
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: obviously been there his whole career. I also think that

289
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: Toronto is like one of those franchises where they can't

290
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: get anybody to take their money. You know, Guerrero was

291
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: the first big contract they've given out in a while,

292
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: and that guy was already on the team. I feel

293
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: like they'll probably end up retaining him just because they

294
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: have to, right they just came so close to the

295
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: World Series. I feel like they have to do the

296
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: best they can to kind of keep this team together

297
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: as much as possible. And you know, he was a

298
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: major piece to that run for them. So I don't

299
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: see the blue Jays sort of letting him walk away,

300
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: at least if it gets to that sort of If

301
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: he wants to for other reasons, fine, there's nothing to

302
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: do about that. But I don't think the Yankees. I

303
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: don't think the Blue Jays are really going to allow

304
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: themselves to be I guess outbit. I mean, the Blue

305
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: Jays owners are very very rich owned. Yes, it's a

306
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: rich franchise, So I just don't think that he's gonna leave.

307
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: Here's here's the point that I'm making though, sometimes as

308
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan, it just feels good to steal somebody

309
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: from your op, you know, one of the opposing teams.

310
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Like when we signed Johnny Damon away from the Red Sox.

311
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: That hurt the Red Sox and it helped the Yankees.

312
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: And I think this would have the same effect. And

313
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: we've got some people saying like, so, you know, we're

314
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: talking about Oh, I think Bo will be staying, you know,

315
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: exactly where he is and off the market quickly, not

316
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: so fast. I mean, this guy is gonna get paid, right,

317
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and when was the last time you saw

318
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: somebody come off the market quickly? Who was gonna who

319
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: had a big contract. That's just not the way baseball's

320
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: done anymore. I think he's gonna test free agency. He's

321
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: waited this long. You know, if it was a sure

322
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: thing that he was gonna resign, why not resign before now?

323
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: Why not resign after they signed Vladimir Guerrero. You know,

324
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: so I think that they're there's a non zero chance

325
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: that he comes back. He gets on base. I think

326
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: he would be a good leadoff man should the Yankees

327
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: choose to go that direction. He's got power. We saw

328
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: him have some clutch moments in the postseason despite being hurt.

329
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: He had that big home run in the World Series.

330
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a hell of a player. He's not

331
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: a great defender, but I think that he's He's shown

332
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: some promise, So that's something we should look at. Let's

333
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: talk about Tucker versus Bellinger and maybe even both. Right, So,

334
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: I've done this slide a couple of times. We did

335
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: it with Frankie, who did it with Ryan Garcia. So

336
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: go watch those episodes, but I'll just run through it

337
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: for everybody who's kind of new, who's maybe tuned out

338
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: like you did during the y'uring the playoffs. Bellinger five

339
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: War two seventy two average, twenty nine home runs, ninety

340
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: eight RBIs, thirteen stolen bases, eight thirteen ops, thirty years old,

341
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: probably gonna get one hundred and fifty to one hundred

342
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: and sixty million if you believe the projections. Kyle Tucker,

343
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: he's two years younger four and a half war, but

344
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: he did have some injuries this year. To sixty six

345
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: average one forty three ops. It was ops is higher

346
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: sorry ops plusks excuse me? Twenty two home runs, seventy

347
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: three RBIs, twenty five stolen bases, he's got speed eight

348
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: forty one ops. And he's a guy who walks more

349
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: than he strikes out the last couple of years. Like,

350
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: this is a really, really good and valuable offensive player,

351
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: not so much a defender. Probably going to be a

352
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: DH in the next several years. And the Yankees, look

353
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: they have enough DH is. I kind of want to

354
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: hold that DH spot open for Judge eventually in a

355
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: few years, and I'm not sure I want Tucker filling

356
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: that out. But let me get your thought on because

357
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about this Bellinger versus Tucker, who are

358
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: you leaning into? Like, if you had to pick one

359
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: for the Yankees to go all in on, who would

360
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: you go for.

361
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: I'm so fifty to fifty on it. I know that's

362
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: like a cop out answer, but I really am. Look

363
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger, look at the stats. He had the better

364
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: season than Kyle Tucker did. But I don't think Kyle

365
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Tucker's really a fit in Chicago. I don't think Wrigley

366
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: Field really is built for his swing. I think it's

367
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 2: like three forty six down the right field line. It's

368
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 2: windy all the time, it's cold, the ball doesn't really fly.

369
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: I think for Kyle Tucker, it's like he'd be really

370
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: really good as a Texas Ranger because they play in

371
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: a dome.

372
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: Right.

373
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the Rangers are gonna get him, but

374
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: just as an example, Cody Bellinger is more versatile. He

375
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: obviously just played in New York, so you know that

376
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: he's going to perform as a Yankee. He is two

377
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: years older and Kyle Tucker was a little bit injured

378
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: as well. So the only I'll say, like I really

379
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: in my lineup, I should have put Bellinger slash Tucker

380
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: because like I would be fine with either one, and

381
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: I think that Bellinger is a little bit more versatile.

382
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: The only thing that gives me pause and kind of

383
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: makes me lean on the Kyle Tucker side is just

384
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: because of this. A few years back, Anthony Rizzo and

385
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman were well. Freddy Freeman hit free agency and

386
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: Anthony rosso that was you know, they made a trade

387
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: and then they signed him in free agency, and obviously,

388
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: looking back, the right move was to sign the better player,

389
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: which was Freddy Freeman. And if you watch baseball, you

390
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: know that Kyle Tucker is a better and two years

391
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: younger better player than Cody Bellinger. So if you're going

392
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: to kind of go back and look at that argument,

393
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: you kind to kind of have to learn from your

394
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: mistakes and get the better player, right Like, that's I get.

395
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: That's kind of more how I look at it.

396
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be interesting to see how all this shakes out.

397
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about trade targets, because MLB trade rumors put

398
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: out a list of guys who could be traded, and

399
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: I want to run through this for the people who

400
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: are listening and can't see it on the screen. So

401
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: we've got Mackenzie Gore, left handed pitcher for the Nationals,

402
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan of the Twins, right handed pitcher, Brendan Donovan

403
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: finally possibly on the trade block, and he's somebody who

404
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: could make a lot of sense for the Yankees. He's

405
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: a utility guy, but good player. Mitch Keller of the Pirates.

406
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: Yankees make a lot of deals with the Pirates. You

407
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: notice that Skeens is not on here, but we will

408
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: talk about Skeens in just a minute. Sonny Gray, I

409
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: don't see the Yankees being interested in him again, although

410
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: I know that you're a Gray fan, so I want

411
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: to put him on here. Pablo Lopez is somebody that

412
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 1: I personally have liked for a long time. He's a

413
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: really smart guy. He was going to be a doctor

414
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: if he didn't become a bab baseball player. So Pablo

415
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: Lopez is somebody the Yankees really should consider if they

416
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: decide to add pitching. And I think the Yankees are

417
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: always looking to add pitching, but if they're able to

418
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: move some of their other pitching in a deal for

419
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: let's say, you know, I don't know a star hitter,

420
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: then maybe you're gonna need to replace that arm, and

421
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: he could be somebody to look at. Pete Fairbanks relief

422
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: pitcher for the Rays. I've always liked him. This is

423
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: a guy who is a great personality too. I think

424
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: he would do well in New York. Freddy Peralta is

425
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: somebody we talked about at the beginning of the year

426
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: as being a potential trade deadline asset. He did not

427
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: get moved, but he is gonna be a free agent.

428
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Jeffers catcher, Sandy Alkantara pitcher. I thought his stuff

429
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: looked great down the stretch. I mean, I know these

430
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: numbers were not great. I was hoping the Yankees would

431
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: pick him up the deadline. You got Brandon Lau for

432
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: the Ray's second baseman, Stephen Kwan, And this is gonna

433
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: be our next topic before we get the Skeens and

434
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: Scooble is that he's been subject of trade rumors today.

435
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: So he's somebody who could get moved. This Garcia, who

436
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: had some you know, big years, some big moments, but

437
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: has kind of taken a step back. Jonah Heim also

438
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: could be moved. Randy A Rose Arena uh for Seattle.

439
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: He's somebody who I've always liked his aura. Actually, you

440
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: know what, I hate his ara as an opponent. I

441
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: would love it with the Yankees. I would love I

442
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: would be like the number one Randy A. Rose Arena

443
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: fan if he came to the Yankees. But unfortunately he

444
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: would probably take Domingus his spot. So if Randy roses

445
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: with the Yankees, Jason Domingez probably is not. Cj abras

446
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: Abrams is somebody who I thought was interesting that they

447
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: brought up. And I'm gonna pull up his stat cast

448
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: numbers because he was part of the other Juan Soto

449
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: trade from the Nationals to the Padres. Let me go

450
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: ahead and share the screen here. This is a guy who,

451
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's kind of what we want Volpi to be,

452
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: two sixty with a little bit of pop. You know,

453
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: he's not a great defender, doesn't have a lot of range.

454
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you just got a decent but he's basically Volpi,

455
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: but a better base runner maybe, But you know, I

456
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: don't think he'll cost that much. Also, he's had some

457
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: discipline things. He ended up getting I want to say,

458
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: either suspended or benched at one point. He had some

459
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: He's some discipline and injury. I should have done more

460
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: research on that, but I remember it being a story.

461
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: Josh Young is somebody that can play third base. I mean,

462
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: if the Yankees decide to move Ryan McMahon, I could

463
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: see Josh Young being somebody that they pick up. Nolan Gorman,

464
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: another infielder, Mark Vientos. There's been talked that he could

465
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: be traded from the Mets. I don't know that I'm

466
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: all that interested there. Nolan Ernato, I mean, if they

467
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: were gonna get him, the time was last year. And

468
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: then of course.

469
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: Louie Uey Louie lou.

470
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: How about Louis Severino for the bullpen? How about that?

471
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: Because he doesn't make a lot of money.

472
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: I thought then he signed like a forty million dollars contract.

473
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: That's not that much for the Yankees have paid forty

474
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: million dollars for relievers in the past. If he came

475
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: in and and and set up, that could be nasty.

476
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know's that to me seems like a

477
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: deadline move of like making a trade for Severino for

478
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: the bullpen. I don't know if i'd want. I'm at

479
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: the start of the season. To be honest, I feel

480
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 2: like you could. I feel like they got a nice

481
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: a lot of nice young arms that are flamethrowers that

482
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: are kind of like just about ready to come up

483
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: and contribute in the bullpen. So I think Severino and

484
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: Pat love Him had some great moments. I think I passed.

485
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the landscape. Let us know in

486
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: the comments who you're looking at. But Stephen Kuan is

487
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: somebody that we got to talk about. There was a

488
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: prediction here from Anthony McCarron of SNY. He says Yankees

489
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: will trade Spencer Jones straight up for Steven Kwan. And

490
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Stephen Kuan only struck out sixty times this year.

491
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he is exactly what the Yankees need for

492
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: this offense. Speed, stolen base threat, excellent defender and not

493
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: a free agent until twenty twenty eight. Let me get

494
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: your thought on Stephen Kuwan for Spencer Jones? Did you

495
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on that deal? If it was offered

496
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: right now?

497
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: I would drive Spencer Jones to Cleveland myself too, I

498
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: I I to me, Stephen Kwan. You know, the more

499
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: I the more I tuned out, and the more I

500
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: just sat in my misery of the Yankees losing in

501
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: the playoffs yet again, and thinking of that picture of

502
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 2: me when I was nine years old, the last time

503
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: with the with the trophy, the last time they won.

504
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 3: IM.

505
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about what the Blue Jays are, and the

506
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: blue Jays are the quintessential pain in the ass. They

507
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: don't they don't get out easily. They're tough at bats

508
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: every time, they grind out at bats. They play good defense.

509
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: They you know, I know I ca' have had them

510
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: as the misshaf there. They run the basis decently well,

511
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: but they play good defense. They make the plays, and

512
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: they have tough at bats, and they don't get they

513
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: don't strike out a lot, and the Yankees are the

514
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: exact opposite of that. And to me, the Blue Jays

515
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: just kind of proved well, October baseball is a totally

516
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 2: different game than regular season baseball. We don't know this.

517
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: I know that the home run and the analytics do

518
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: work over the one sixty two, but you don't get

519
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: into large enough sample size for the stats to really

520
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: be advantageous in October. And to me, Stephen Kwan is

521
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: the exact player that this team needs. He might be

522
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: my number one priority this offseason if you can get him. Wow,

523
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: he's that good defense, doesn't strike out a lot. He

524
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: would be the perfect leadoff hitter. You could even hit

525
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: him like five if you wanted to, if he wanted

526
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: to put him in the middle of the lineup, just

527
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 2: to drive in runs when guys are on. But to me,

528
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: he I know, I know, I got a couple of

529
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: people going like, no, no, no, I'm sorry. This is

530
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: the perfect piece that the Yankees need, and he might

531
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: get a couple extra homers just with the short porch.

532
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: But to me, this is this is this is the

533
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: guy you gotta get him.

534
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a Spencer Jones believer. I mean,

535
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: I know he's got power, he just strikes out too

536
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: damn much. He's like you talk about two players that

537
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: are completely opposite. I mean, you got Kwan who never

538
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: strikes out, struck out sixty times, and you got Spencer Jones,

539
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: who would strike out probably two hundred and twenty two

540
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty times in the major leagues at minimum.

541
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: And we got Brian Bashman saying that we're vastly underestimating

542
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: Spencer Jones. I disagree. I don't think you can read

543
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: too much into his triple A home run numbers. There's

544
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: not a lot of great pitchers in the minor leagues.

545
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: It's very thin like if you can if you can pitch,

546
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: they get you in the major leagues. I'm just not

547
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: a huge believer. But hey, maybe he proves me wrong.

548
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I would I would be okay with calling Spencer

549
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Jones up to be the fourth outfielder, and if he

550
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: hits his way into the lineup every day, sure, because

551
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: we know he's got a good arm and he's a

552
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: good defender. But I definitely I'm not into giving him

553
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: a starting job at this point, and he's too old

554
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: to be in the minor leagues, I think. But uh,

555
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: let's let's sorry, go ahead.

556
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: I'll just I'll just say this will last. First of all,

557
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: my trade package was different than that what they had.

558
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: I had the Yankees trading Domingas for Kwan just because

559
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: I don't over Yeah, which may be an over, but

560
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think the Cleveland's really reluctant

561
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: to give him up. The thing about it's like Jones,

562
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: like you said, he's gonna be what is he twenty

563
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: five in the minor leagues. It's like, okay, you know

564
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: the Yankees, it's kind of like you're gonna trade him

565
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: or you're gonna play him. Pick one. I you know,

566
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: the Yankees already have like six players that have the

567
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: Spencer Jones sort of you know mindset. It's just home runs,

568
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 2: the three true outcome player. I don't think they need

569
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 2: another one. That's you need something different, something different in

570
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: the mix.

571
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Let me stop you right there, because we did get

572
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: a call from Steve in Maine.

573
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, hy Derek, Steve called him from Maine. I got

574
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 4: a bone to pick with you. Another bone last year

575
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year, I recommended that we

576
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 4: have to start playing for today and not for tomorrow.

577
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: And if that's if it's necessary to trade Bloombard for

578
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 4: a big shot pitcher or a big hitter, we should

579
00:27:54,200 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 4: do it. And you responded with stop smoking, cra and yeah,

580
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: I recently saw your episode about who will be the

581
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 4: legal Now you want to trade Lombard for Nico Horner?

582
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: Com I all right, So, so first of all, I

583
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: will apologize to you because I would trade Lombard but

584
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: he had kind of a shitty year, But I would

585
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: trade him for Nico Horner because Nico Horner to me,

586
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: is like kind of like a perfect missing piece. I mean,

587
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: he's a six win player, he's a contactitor, a good,

588
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: hard nosed guy. He's he's basically what the Yankees did

589
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: to get Chuck Knoblock in ninety eight, and he Knoblock

590
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: was such an important piece that year. I know he

591
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: went on to have throwing problems later on, but I

592
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: mean that would be basically a reducts of that deal.

593
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: All right, So guys, I'm gonna I'm gonna preface this

594
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: next one by saying it is it is nuts, But

595
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: as a podcaster. As a professional podcaster, I would be

596
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: doing a dereliction of duty if I didn't mention this.

597
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna get nuts. We're gonna talk about.

598
00:28:59,080 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Let's get.

599
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: Threek Scooba and Paul Skeens. Now, there is a non

600
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: zero chance that both of these guys get traded. I

601
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: want to say that, but it is very close to

602
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: zero that they get traded. One. The Tigers are still

603
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: in it. They're gonna try and win a World Series

604
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: next year with Scooble. If I were them, that's what

605
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: I would do, but they might not be able to

606
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: resign him. If you were to ask me if he'll

607
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: resign with the Tigers, I'd probably say no. I think

608
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: he could end up with the Dodgers. Paul Skeens, I

609
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: think his star is at a level that MLB sees

610
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: that it is bad for baseball for him to be

611
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Right, this is this guy is the best

612
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: pitcher in the game, and he's pitching in a place

613
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: where he went ten to ten because they can't score runs,

614
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: they can't play winning baseball, and he's a star. He's

615
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: not just a great pitcher. He's got that star factor.

616
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: You see him on the red carpet. He's like going

617
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: viral on Instagram for his like Halloween costumes and stuff

618
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: like that. He's dating a star in Livy Dunn, who

619
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: lives in New York. By the way, one point nine

620
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: to seven E seven point six war, twenty three years

621
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: old and he's a horse thirty two games started. He

622
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of mileage because he didn't start

623
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: pitching until late in his life. He wasn't the guy

624
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: who pitched, you know, he was chasing velocity in high school.

625
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 4: Right.

626
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: And then Scooble uh just one year under contract, right,

627
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: So it might not be quite as expensive to get him,

628
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: but it's still gonna be pricey. I'll tell you one

629
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: thing that can absolutely not happen, TK, This can absolutely

630
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: not happen. We cannot allow Paul Skins or Tiak Scooble

631
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: to end up with the Blue Jays or with the

632
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. And I'm afraid that if we don't

633
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: make the move, right, this is the Astros getting Verlander

634
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: all over again. They're gonna you know, I could see

635
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: the Dodgers getting Scooble and winning a third World Series, right,

636
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: I could see the Red Sox pairing Paul Skeens up

637
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: with Garrett Crochet and winning five division titles in a row.

638
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: Tell me that doesn't make you absolutely sick TK.

639
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I Uh. For me, I think out of

640
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: the two of them, I think School is much more

641
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: likely to get moved just because of the contract situation.

642
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: There's been reports that they are very far apart in

643
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: negotiations on extension. I think what Detroit's reportedly offered is

644
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: borderline insulting. We're talking about one of the best pitchers

645
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: in the game. You know, if he's not two, he's one,

646
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: it's it's skins in Schooble like period. Those are the

647
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: first two guys. Then I probably throw Crochet in there,

648
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: like right at three. But you know the fact that, yeah,

649
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: so that's our little trade mock up there that we have.

650
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: Take me through year Schooble trade and I'll take it

651
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: through the Skiens trade.

652
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: So for schoobl I had I had Spencer Jones in

653
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: this deal, But for me, like Spencer Jones, Jason Dominguez,

654
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: those are like interchangeable names between the Quand deal and

655
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: this deal. But yeah, I got Jones, Heel, Cunningham, and

656
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: Hampton all going to the Tigers in exchange for Trek Spooble,

657
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: just giving up Louis Heel. He has some value. Obviously,

658
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: he won Rookie of the Year. He's still a good pitcher,

659
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: he's still young, he's got great stuff. He's been hurt

660
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: a little bit. But you know, you're obviously gonna have

661
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: to give something up to get something right, and you've

662
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: got to give up prospects as well. They're gonna want young,

663
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: controllable prospects that are cheap. And then Spencer Jones. You

664
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: know we've mentioned it. I had just said, because he's

665
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: supposed to be MLB ready, so they could get a

666
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: potential impact player right away. And Detroit is an enormous outfield,

667
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: they have huge gaps. Spencer Jones is athletic, he runs well,

668
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: so I think he could cover those gaps for them

669
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: as well. But I think that that is the most

670
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: likely scenario. I'd love Paul Skeans, absolutely, but I've already

671
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: looked down the road with Paul Skeans where Garrett Cole

672
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: and Carlos Rodin's contracts both and the year he becomes

673
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: a free agent, and at that point, if you're the Yankees,

674
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: there is absolutely zero excuse, zero excuse to not get

675
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: Paul Skens if you have almost what sixty million dollars

676
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: coming off your payroll, which at that point that's probably

677
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: what he's gonna cost. Honestly, is like a sixty million

678
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: dollars pitcher. But no, I don't want to just dump

679
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: them in, guys. I'm just I'm trying to win right now.

680
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,239
Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to do. Because the baseball might

681
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: not be played. We'll get into it, but I'm just

682
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: gonna say this is about twenty twenty six period. That's it.

683
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, going back to what we said in the beginning,

684
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: we've got a two time defending champion now that we're

685
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: trying to stop from being a three peat. We've got

686
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: a division rival that just went to the World Series

687
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: and took that two time defending champion too, basically the limit, right,

688
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: So they're on the rise, they're looking real good. So

689
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: here's my imaginary deal for Paul Skins. And you might

690
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: say it's an overpay, but I'm emptying out the tank here.

691
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, so Yankees get Paul Skeins, Pirates get Luis

692
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: Heal and will warn two starters for their rotation to

693
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: match up with Mitch Keller, so that would be, you know,

694
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: basically solid rotation. Still, they get our number one prospect,

695
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: George Lombard Junior. They get another top pitching prospect who

696
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: throws hard. If there's one hundred, who could be in

697
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: the major leagues next year, Carlos legran Hey. They get

698
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: Spencer Jones, a potential impact bat who you know, my

699
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: prize everybody hit thirty forty home runs and if he

700
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: learns how to make contact, could be a good player.

701
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of a lottery ticket with a you know,

702
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: a decent chance of winning. And Chase Hampton, who's coming

703
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: back off of Tommy john surgery but is seen as

704
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: a major league ready pitcher. And they might even be

705
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: able to spin some of these guys and improve their

706
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: rosters in other ways. But basically, you're giving the Pirates

707
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: exactly what they want, a bunch of cheap young players. Yes,

708
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: you're emptying out the farm, but you're getting prime Randy Johnson,

709
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: that's what you're getting. You're getting five Cy Youngs, right.

710
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: You put Paul Skeens in New York, He's a five

711
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: time Cy Young Award winner at least minimum and you're

712
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: getting at least a couple of championships. I guarantee if

713
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: you if you make the rotation Skeens, Freed, Cole, Schlittler, Rodin,

714
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: you're winning the frickin' world Series. That's just how it

715
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: wrot how it is. So those are crazy, crazy talk

716
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: trades for Skians and Scoo Ball. Let us know in

717

745
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: So we've got four voicemails. But first I want to

746
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: talk through our wish list, because we went today through

747
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: some chatting back and forth, and this is what we

748
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: came up with. If everything goes according to our plans,

749
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: we're going to get nuts again. So take me through

750
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: your lineup and your rotation of your twenty twenty six

751
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: World Champion New York Yankees.

752
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: All right, so I got Schoolble at the top of

753
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: the rotation. No, I don't think that the Yankees would

754
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: need to offer more because it is a rental. It's

755
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: a one year contract. You to hit free agency right

756
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 2: after that, so that is the reason for that. Then

757
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 2: you have this is all healthy as well. We're assuming health.

758
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: But Scooball, Cole Freed, Schlittler, Rodin, I went left, he

759
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 2: righty left, he ready in that way. I mean you

760
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: could order these however, but that's just the way that

761
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 2: I went with it.

762
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: Hill.

763
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: I would pick up the option on that. Dovall I

764
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: think would probably come into his own. I'd re sign

765
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 2: Luke Weaver. I know he struggled. I would I attribute

766
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 2: that mostly to the hamstring. He was never the same

767
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: after that. I think it threw him off mechanically and

768
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 2: he was tipping pitches. I think he could, you know,

769
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: come back now. You're not going to sign him to

770
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 2: a huge deal, but I would like to bring him back.

771
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: But I don't know if he's going to because he

772
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 2: may get starter opportunities elsewhere. But for me, that's what

773
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: I would do. I like your Fairbanks thing, though Derek

774
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 2: Lighter Junior Cruz Bednar is the closer. I think he's

775
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: won that job. My bench, well's Volpi, Cabrera, Slater, Rosario.

776
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: That's just the depth there. I think that's pretty good utility.

777
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: He got some nice step there. But for me, the

778
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: lineup starts with Stephen Kwan with great defense. I probably

779
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: put him in center because I don't think Tucker or

780
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: Judge should be playing center, because I have Tucker in

781
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: my lineup there and Rice is the everyday first baseman

782
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: Stanton d h And I'm signing real newtwo to be

783
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 2: the catcher, and I'm good with McMahon playing third as

784
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 2: to start the season. I mean, look, he's not a

785
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: great bat, but you might catch a little lightning in

786
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 2: a bottle. But he plays great defense. And for me, Cabayyiro,

787
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm good with him being kind of the quote unquote

788
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: stopcatch shortstop. I'm pretty much off the voltpe train at

789
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: this point. I don't think he's gonna end up being

790
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: a quote unquote good player, if you want to say

791
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 2: that way. And Kabairo I think has that right edge

792
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: that the team needs. He's annoying, steals bags. I think

793
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: he'd be perfect to flip the lineup, plays pretty solid.

794
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 2: D So I'm good with him being stopgap and that's

795
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: what I got.

796
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're getting crazy, so you know, guys,

797
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: before you tear us a new one, this is all again.

798
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: We're having fun. It's the first day or second day,

799
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: I guess, of the offseason. We're having fun. We're you know,

800
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: MLB the showtime. Basically, I got Bashett and I'm signing

801
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: him to play third I'm sending McMahon out, I don't

802
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: care where. I'm tired of mixing up McCann and McMahon.

803
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: So that's the main reason he can't hit. You know,

804
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: I would deal him. I would get Bashett at third base,

805
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: Bellinger resigning and putting him in center field. Judge obviously

806
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: right field. I'm signing Tucker, I'm putting him in left field.

807
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: Ben Rice at first base. Every single day, Jason di

808
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Mingez becomes a DH Where is John's Carlos Stanton don't know,

809
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: don't care. Maybe he accepts the trade, maybe you cut him,

810
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. Gotta get rid of him. You got

811
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: to free up that spot. Jazz Chisholm at second base.

812
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: Wells he's behind the dish for now, but splitting time

813
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: with real Muto who I would sign to be kind

814
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: of a platoon situation. And then CJ. Abrams, I think

815
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: you can get him. I think they want to get

816
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: rid of him. I think you can get him for

817
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: a decent price. I know he's not a great defender,

818
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: but Abrams becomes my shortstop bench real Muto, Volpie Cabrera,

819
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: Spencer Jones. I'm calling him up as the fourth outfielder

820
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: who will run into some home runs in the games

821
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: that he plays and just won't kill you with the

822
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: strikeouts because he's not going to play every single day.

823
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: And then bringing back Rosario again utility my rotation, absolutely

824
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: the best rotation in baseball Skiens, Freed, Cole, Schlitzler, Rodin.

825
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: And then I'm also bringing back Hill Dove, all I

826
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: thought threw the ball better down the stretch. I'm signing

827
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: Pete Fairbanks, who I think is great, lighter, Junior Cruz,

828
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,959
Speaker 1: and bed Nar. So those are your twenty twenty six

829
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: World champion New York Yankees. All right, So let's play

830
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: a couple of voicemails here, TK.

831
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 7: Hey, Derek, this is awesome. That was an incredible World series.

832
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 7: Everything about it was fun to watch, other than the

833
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 7: fact that the Yankees weren't in it. I just want

834
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 7: to say the Dodgers, you know, congrats to them. You know,

835
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 7: they proved that they're the team to be again. And

836
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 7: all I was thinking about was, Wow, these guys got

837
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 7: outplayed in almost every single statistical category and they still

838
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 7: managed to win. And that speaks to their you know,

839
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 7: championship predigree and that comments in the moment, you know

840
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 7: that the Yankees just didn't have when they played them

841
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 7: in the World Series. So, you know, again, congrats for

842
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 7: the Dodgers, and yeah, I'm glad they won, not just

843
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 7: because Toronto, you know, gave us such a hard time

844
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 7: after they beat us, but you know, they're shooting to

845
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 7: you know. I think it was an interview with I'm

846
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 7: not sure who it was. It might have been. I'm

847
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 7: not sure if it was Freeman. I think it was

848
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 7: Freeman to mention the Yankees dynastic run, and all I

849
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 7: kept thinking was, we cannot let these guys match our

850
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 7: ninety two thousand.

851
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: Run one hundred percent. You got to stop the three

852
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: peat and its tracks, and that's why you got to

853
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: go above and beyond. Like we said, here's Mac from Pa.

854
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: Hi, Derek, it's Mac from Pennsylvania World Series is over

855
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: five days until we can start signing some free agents.

856
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 3: But contact hitters, we've been hearing a lot about. You know,

857
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays have a lot of contact hitters. And

858
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: I'm not saying we don't need some contact I'm not

859
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 3: saying we don't need fewer strikeouts in our lineup. What

860
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: I do want to point out is is that the

861
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 3: team who hit the most home runs won the Game

862
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: seven of the World Series. So hitting home runs is

863
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: not a bad thing, all right, looking forward to the offseas,

864
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 3: appreciate the call man.

865
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: Just interject on the team that hit the most home

866
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: runs won the World Series. Yes, but that team comes

867
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: through in big moments. That's an enormous difference right there.

868
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what's in the water at Dodger Stadium

869
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: with the pedigree of the player, but they had two

870
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: guys hit walk off home runs, and they had a

871
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: guy hit a game tying walk a home run in

872
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: the ninth inning in Game seven. So they got guys

873
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: that come through in the big moment, which is not

874
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 2: even a tangible, measurable thing, but that's an enormous difference.

875
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: I just want to see.

876
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: I gotta say this for the crowd. This made me

877
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: have Frankie Baseball says God hates Don Maddingly. The shot

878
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: of Don Maddingley sitting there staring at the field, it

879
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: made me. It made me hurt. Man as my idol,

880
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: as my idol. I think the Yankee should bring him

881
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: back on the coaching staff. No reason he shouldn't be

882
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: part of the organization forever. But hey, it is what

883
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: it is. Brian Cashman has ruined relationships with a lot

884
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: of former Yankees, Derek Jeter, Reggie Jackson, a lot of

885
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: these guys. And we had a call about that that

886
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: I think about all the time. But any final thoughts

887
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: as we prepare to kick off the winter.

888
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny that didn't I heard like Cashman called

889
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: up Jeter after the Fox Sports panel because he like

890
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: said this was the worst roster constructed and called him

891
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 2: up and I was like, what, he doesn't surprise, Yeah, dude.

892
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 2: I look when I was with the Yankees, I remember

893
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 2: seeing cash walk around. He's a very very small, physical

894
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: physical person, Like he's very short. I remember I just

895
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 2: he walked in the tunnel like sub Cash He's like

896
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 2: hey dude, and like he's just like he just kind

897
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: of comes off as a little bit of like a

898
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: sort of Connor McGregor's strut a little bit in Yankee Stadium.

899
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how to describe it, but if you

900
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 2: ever meet the man in person, you understand what I'm saying.

901
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: Wow, Frankie says. Cashman did say that he called Jeter

902
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: as soon as he heard the comments to clarify whether

903
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer truly believed what he said on TV. Interesting.

904
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: I think Jeter should be involved in the organization. You know,

905
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of business being on Fox. I think he's

906
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: a winner, and I want as many winners as possible

907
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: in the organization. All Right, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for watching. Obviously,

908
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: not to finish we wanted for the year, but the

909
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: off season is always fun, so tune in all year long,

910
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: all winter long. I'm many back later this week. I'm

911
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: trying to get Trevor May on. He agreed to come on,

912
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: but we haven't settled a time yet. If I'm unable

913
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: to get Trevor may then I'll probably just do a

914
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: so episode maybe some voicemails later this week, So call in.

915
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,160
