1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to pull a catch all. 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 2: Good morning, bright and early. It's actually not bright. It's 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: dark out here, and it is eight two am, Monday, 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: December ninth, and a lot of you probably went to 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: bed before the news broke about Juan Soto. And if 6 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: you're just joining us and you missed last night's live stream, well, 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: obviously tough morning to be a Yankees fan. Just a 8 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: heads up. We still have Juan Soto as part of 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: the b roll that's rotating on your screen, but it's 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 2: on my agenda for the day to remove all traces 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: of him from the podcast, so stay tuned. It's like 12 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: when they pulled the bronze billboard down in Cleveland after 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 2: he signed with the Heat. But honestly, I think the 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: Yankees will be fine. You can't replace Juan Soto with 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: one player, because there's not one player out there that's 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 2: available that is as talented a hitter as Juan Soto. 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: But if the Yankees are smart, they can improve the 18 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: roster in a number of different ways, and we'll talk 19 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: all about that. And we got a gazillion voicemails from 20 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: you guys. A lot of people watching the last night 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: were kind of ticked off. I see a lot of 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: people kind of ticked off in the chat, and it 23 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: is what it is, you know, So goodbye to Juan Soto. 24 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 2: Hopefully this pisses off hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman to 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: the point where they will be aggressive in improving this roster. 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit more about that in a 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 2: few minutes. I think it's interesting how much the Yankees offered, 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: and now I'm not blaming how. I saw a lot of 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: people saying, oh, how is trash? How is this? 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: And that? 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: How offered Juan Soto four hundred million dollars more than 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge's total contract, more than doubled Judge's contract. And 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: if you think Sodo is a better player than Judge, 34 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: I got a bridge to sell you. He's younger, allegedly, 35 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: he's left handed. But if you think he deserves four 36 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: hundred million more than Judge, I mean absolutely not. There's 37 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 2: really three great things about Sodo that we are going 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: to miss. He's extremely clutch. He had a number of 39 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: clutch hits this year. You know, I think about the 40 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: games in San Francisco, obviously, the big home run in 41 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: the ALCS. He is left handed and in a stadium 42 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: that is built for left handed hitters. It hurts to 43 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: lose a left handed bat that that's that talented, and 44 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: he walks in front of Judge a lot, right, And 45 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: that's a big reason why Judge drove in one hundred 46 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: and forty runs. But I told you guys last night, 47 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: and I'll say it again, And I know some of 48 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: the Mets fans that are desperately wanting to rub it 49 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: in don't believe me. I'm not heartbroken about this at 50 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: all at all. Seven hundred and sixty five million dollars 51 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: is too much for one baseball player. It's too much, 52 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: it really is. The Yankees would be better served allocating 53 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: those funds across the roster in different ways. Improve the 54 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: pitching staff, improve the bullpen. You still got to build 55 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: a bullpen. Think about this. If you had signed Juan 56 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: Soto for fifty one million dollars a year, how much 57 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: funds would the Yankees have had left over to build 58 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: a new bullpen? Right, we still need an infielder, we 59 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: still need a first basement. And I'm confident the Yankees 60 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: can make up for the forty one home runs that 61 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: Soto would have hit. You know, they can get somebody 62 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: like Santanderer. I'm sure they'll get more production out of 63 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: Domingas and Wells power wise than they had last year. 64 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: You know, Verdugo didn't hit for much power. Dimingoz is 65 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: gonna do better than that. Wells really turned it on 66 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: after you about a month had a hot summer. I 67 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: think he'll hit maybe ten more home runs next year, 68 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: but it's gonna be tough to find someone who is 69 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: as clutch as Juan Soto is, or who gets on 70 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: base in front of our fifty eight home run guy 71 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: nearly as much. Nathaniel Cranshaw says, I hope we get 72 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo. I don't I want to pass on Pie Alonzo. 73 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: I don't think he's a good fit for the Yankees. 74 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: I don't think he's what the Yankees need. The Yankees 75 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: need more athleticism, more baseball players, not just power guys. 76 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: I do think there is one benefit to this. Judge 77 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: can move back to right field now, where he is 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: one a much better defender, and two it will extend 79 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: his playing career. I mean, his longevity, his effectiveness will 80 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: not wear down as much in right field. Now, say 81 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: what you want about him running into walls and stuff. 82 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: Just tell me to be more careful out there. But 83 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: in center field. I was talking to Cameron Mabin probably 84 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: a month or so ago, and he was saying, Judge 85 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: doesn't belong in center field, all of the wear and 86 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: tear covering, you know, you know, backing up and things 87 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: like that. I just I agree with that totally. I 88 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: don't think he's built to play center field into his 89 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: mid and late thirties, which is what would have possibly 90 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: happened if you brought back Juan Soto. So this allows 91 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: the Yankees to improve defensively at two positions in the outfield. 92 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: Judge is a big improvement in right field over Soto, 93 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: and now you can get a center fielder, and I 94 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be Cody Bellinger, who's an elite center fielder. 95 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: He's a left handed hitter, and the Cubs are gonna 96 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: be willing to move some of his contract. I love 97 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 2: my wife, Oh seven seven says, in your honest opinion, 98 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: who do they get right now? To ease this feeling? Listen, 99 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 2: you just got to sit with these feelings for a while. 100 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it hurts to lose a great player, but 101 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's sports, right, it's 102 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: it's it's a baseball game. You know, this isn't the 103 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: end of the world. They'll they'll find somebody else. The 104 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: Yankees are going to be in it every year, every year, 105 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 2: and they have the resources to improve this team, and 106 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: now they have the motivation to improve this team. But 107 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: let's be clear about one thing. This is a new 108 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: era in New York in terms of ownership. Steve Cohen 109 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: is the new Steinbrenner. He's going to outspend everybody. And 110 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: if you think that he would have stopped if the 111 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 2: Yankees have had offered seven hundred and seventy million, right, 112 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: you think Cohen wouldn't have said all right, seven seventy five, 113 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: seven eighty seven, ninety eight hundred. He would have kept going. 114 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: He would have kept going. We got a comment here 115 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 2: says Yankees are done. Judge is not that guy. You 116 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: sound a lot like the people incept in April who 117 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: were saying, let's tread Judge, dude. Fifty eight home runs, 118 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: drove in one hundred and forty four runs. He hit 119 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 2: forty points higher than Juan Soto. He's a better player, 120 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: he's a better hitter, he's a better defender, and he's cheaper. 121 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: He's cheaper. It's looking like a bargain. Now, imagine if 122 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: Judge had been a free agent this year, how much 123 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: would he get. I know that he didn't show up 124 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: in the postseason. I know that, and that's gonna live 125 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: with him his entire career until he does it. But 126 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: if you're just looking at regular season numbers getting to 127 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: the playoffs, Judge is vastly superior to Juan Soto. He 128 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: was worth like three or four more wins, and he's 129 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: worth like three or four more wins every year. And honestly, 130 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: I think Soto had a career year because he was 131 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: hitting in front of Aaron Judge and getting a lot 132 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: more pitches to hit, and hitting in Yankee Stadium would 133 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: not shock me in the least. If he goes to 134 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: City Field, where he does have pretty good numbers, I'll 135 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: tell you that. But if his walk numbers go up, 136 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: his power numbers go down, I bet he becomes another 137 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,559 Speaker 2: you know, two eighty hitter, thirty thirty five home runs, 138 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: four to twenty on base percentage and average defense, that's 139 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: what we're looking at from Juan Soto. He'll be able 140 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: to dh more. There for sure, But the Mets are 141 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: serious and Cohen is not screwing around, and you know, 142 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: we'll see how it shakes out. So what's next for 143 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: the Yankees? And well, we got a lot of voicemails 144 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: to get to in just a second. But I believe 145 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: that the Yankees should pivot and be aggressive right now 146 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: before Soto even has his press conference. I want the 147 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: Yankees in an agreement with Max Freed, improve the rotation, 148 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: get a dynamic left handed pitcher. Go ahead and get 149 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: Tanner Scott for the bullpen. Okay, get that closer you 150 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 2: need because the Mets already took Clay Holmes, who, by 151 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: the way, is going to erase the seven wins above 152 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: replacement that Juan Soto is bringing to them because he's 153 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: gonna blow seven eight games. You know that. You know that, 154 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: so you know every silver lining has a touch of gray. 155 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: And then I think the Yankees should be aggressive for Bellinger, 156 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: and I think they should be aggressive on the infield market. 157 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: I don't believe that Bregman will be a Yankee. I 158 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 2: know a lot of fans have said, well, let's bring 159 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: him in, and there's others who have said, well, you 160 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 2: don't know part of him because of the whole Astros thing, 161 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: and I think ultimately Cashman feels the same way as 162 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: those folks. So I don't see that the Yankees would 163 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: make a big offer to Bregmant, but they might be 164 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: able to make some other deals, and we got a 165 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: full year of Jazz Chisholm. Now. Hell, I could even 166 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 2: see the Yankees pivoting and bringing back Labor torres On 167 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: like a one year prove it deal if there's no 168 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: better options out there, and sticking him back at second base. 169 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: At least the offense should improve if you'll put him 170 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: back in the lead off spot. So you know, we'll 171 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: see what happens. I think Nico Horner is a possibility. 172 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 2: I mean, he's obviously not a stud like Soto or 173 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: something like that, but he's a a good baseball player, 174 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 2: and that's what this team needs. More fundamental baseball. What 175 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: beat us. It wasn't the lack of home run power. 176 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: We got plenty of guys who can hit home runs. 177 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: It was the lack of fundamentals. It was errors, it 178 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: was bad base running, it was all that nonsense. So 179 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: if the Yankees can spend appropriately and smartly, they can 180 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: definitely improve this team enough to at least win the division. 181 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: And don't forget Orioles are gonna lose Anthony Santander and 182 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns. They're losing a forty home run guy and 183 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: a cy young candidate. The AL East is weaker. I 184 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 2: do believe the Red Sox will take some strides this winter, 185 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 2: but it's gonna take more than one winter for them 186 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: to get back into the position where they can win 187 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 2: the East. So the East is there for the Yankees 188 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: taking again, right, and you know, the American League is winnable. 189 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: They might match up with the you know, the Tigers, 190 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 2: or the Royals again or the Guardians. They can beat 191 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: those teams. Astro is still gonna be tough, even though 192 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: they went out in the first round. They seem to 193 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: have the Yankees' number, but they're aging. You know, Josh 194 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: Hater had a bad year. So you know, there's a 195 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: lot of reasons to be optimistic if you're a Yankees fan. 196 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna try and look at this with a 197 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: half full glass perspective.

I honestly have 224 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: not listened to these. We had so many that I 225 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: just went ahead and pulled me in. I didn't have 226 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: time to listen to them. Also, I might not play 227 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: all of them if somebody starts swearing, or if the 228 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: connection is bad, or if if I saw a few 229 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: of these go on for like three four minutes. So 230 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna try and get the essence of these, 231 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: and if someone can't land the plane, I'll move on 232 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: to the. 233 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 6: Next Derek, this is Teddy move from the upper east side. 234 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 7: I was over this trade after ten minutes. 235 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: And there's one of the shorter voicemails we got. He 236 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: was over the trade after ten minutes. I mean, look, 237 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: let's let's let's not have sour grapes here. Let's let's 238 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: admit that Soto had a great year. He was a 239 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: top three MVP finalist. He put us in the World 240 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: Series with one of the greatest at bats I've ever seen, 241 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: big home run. He was insanely clutch. He led the 242 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: team in our Belt Award, which is the award we 243 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: give out to the Player of the Game. And by 244 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: the way, he's also the twenty twenty five leader in 245 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: our new Bum Award, just in case you missed it, 246 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: Bum of the Day is Juan Soto. And look, I 247 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: don't want to have sour grapes and say, oh oh yeah, 248 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 2: he stn't get Let's be honest. He was really good. 249 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: But he was really good offensively. He's not a great defender, 250 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: not a great base runner, and irving figure ois is 251 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker needs to be a Yankee After this year, 252 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: I think that the Astros will try and resign him, 253 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: even though his swing is perfect for Yankee Stadium. I mean, 254 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: he's an unbelievable hitter. Uh. There are very few hitters 255 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: that I think are are built perfectly for Yankee Stadium. 256 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: He's one of them. What the Yankees should do really 257 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: is invest in, you know, developing players like you know, 258 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker and Jordan Alvarez, guys who are playing for 259 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: the opposition that are built for Yankee Stadium. You know, 260 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: do a better job in the international market. I'm really 261 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: excited to see what Jason Domingez will do next year 262 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: as the Yankees likely opening day, centerfielder or left fielder, 263 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: switch hitter. Young. He had a great year in the miners, 264 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 2: didn't play great f we got called up. I think 265 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: he had a little bit of the yips because he 266 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: messed up some balls early on. I have a couple 267 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: of friends who are involved in the Yankees' development aspect, 268 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: and they're telling me that this kid's putting in an 269 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: enormous amount of work this winter in the outfield. So 270 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: I'm optimistic about it. 271 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, this is week from Delaware. I think I 272 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: speak for a lot of fans that are not disappointed 273 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: that wants that who went to the Mets. I think 274 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: when we all saw we were just like, oh, he 275 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: left us, But then when we saw the price tag, 276 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, good he left us. 277 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: We had too many. 278 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: Other holes that need to be fixed. Let's go get burns. 279 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: Let's go get a first basement, a third base, let's 280 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: do something. I'm excited to see what Cashman and the 281 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: brain crust in New York actually does. 282 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 7: To fix this roster. Because they had other. 283 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: Holes that needed to be fixed, they got the money 284 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: to do it. Let's go do them all, right, man, 285 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: keep up the good work. 286 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: Truer words have never been spoken. You a smart mother, 287 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: That's right, one hundred percent. Got to spread it around. 288 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: We have got to go out and fill the holes 289 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: that we have. This is not one of those times 290 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: where Cashman needs to basically try and wait out the market. 291 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: He does that a lot, where he tries to wait 292 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 2: out the market and he settles on some guys who 293 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: are really not a great fit. Go out and get 294 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: the best guys you can right now. You got the 295 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: money to spend. You just showed you you you're willing 296 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: to invest over seven hundred million into this team. Look, 297 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: there's not a lot of times that a pitcher like 298 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns or Max Freed becomes available. And supposedly Max 299 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: Freed has had multiple meetings with the Yankees, and uh, 300 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: it seems to be a good fit. And I've heard 301 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: him compare I mentioned this before to Jimmy Key. If 302 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: you guys remember the nineties, how important Jimmy Key was 303 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 2: to this organization lefties at Yankee Stadium. If you're a 304 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: good pitcher and not a home run guy, and he 305 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 2: keeps the ball on the ground, you can be very 306 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: very effective, you know. So, I mean, let's just say that, 307 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 2: let's just look at this from a war perspective, and 308 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: I'm when I say warp prospective, I mean wins above replacement. 309 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: Soto had a seven point nine war, right, the league 310 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: average war is about two two point zero. So really 311 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 2: all you need to do is get a few players 312 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 2: who can make up that difference five point nine war. 313 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: I think Freed gives you three. I think Bellinger gives 314 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: you two or three, and I think already Dominguez and 315 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: Wells are gonna give you, you know, two or three more. 316 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 2: So right there, the Yankee should be fine. And I 317 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: wouldn't mind it if they went out and got Tanner Scott. 318 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: That'll save the Yankees seven blown saves or eight blown 319 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 2: saves next year. I'm sure he'll blow a few, but 320 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 2: he's not gonna blow as many. As as sorry as 321 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: Clay Holmes Blue this one. This voicemails four minutes long, 322 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 2: so to play a fraction. 323 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 6: Of it, Hey, Derek, this is w l b WF 324 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 6: calling him from Florida. The love watching your show. In 325 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 6: reference to the Juan Soto signing, I was actually played 326 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 6: a clip on mine where I was I was pretending 327 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 6: to be him, where he was saying, oh, don't Lisit 328 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 6: the Touch and I'm the New Guy. Well, yeah, that 329 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 6: was my album, but it actually ended up playing the 330 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 6: way I think the Yankees and needed it to play out, 331 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 6: because this is gonna be a terrible contract. That was 332 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 6: probably the would have been the worst contract, like you 333 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 6: said yourself, was gonna end up being just him being 334 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 6: a DH in the future. 335 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm gonna stop you right there. I agree. 336 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: I don't think the contract is going to age well. 337 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 2: I don't think on Soto is going to age well. 338 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 2: This guy who's played every day. You know, look, it's 339 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: biology bro to quote zero dark thirty once he gets 340 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: into his mid thirties, and you got seven years left 341 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: on that contract and two hundred and fifty million, and 342 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 2: he's starting to wear down, and his legs are starting 343 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 2: to wear down. Maybe he's losing a little bit of 344 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: bat speed, maybe his eyes aren't quite as good. Maybe 345 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: he's not actually twenty six. Does he look twenty six 346 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 2: to you? You know? So there's a lot of reasons 347 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: that I'm glad the Yankees didn't pay seven hundred and 348 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: sixty five. That's just too much for a baseball player. 349 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Hey, Derek, this is Harrison I have a 350 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 8: law school final exam tomorrow morning, so I'm gonna keep 351 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 8: this brief. 352 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: Good luck. 353 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 8: I probably won't do with sleep very much anyway, but 354 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 8: I can't help but be reminded of when the New 355 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 8: York Nets signed Kevin Durant Kyrie Irving and then traded 356 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 8: for James Harden a few years ago, and all the 357 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 8: Nets fans were saying that they're they're the new Kings 358 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 8: in New York and the Knicks, the Knicks aren't ship, 359 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 8: the Nets are on top, and then look how that 360 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 8: turned out for them. All I'm saying is once a 361 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 8: little brother, always a little brother. Yes, one, I hope 362 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 8: you enjoy your your Cancoon beach house or you know, 363 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 8: hanging out and flushing whatever you're gonna do in October 364 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 8: when you're not playing baseball. 365 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 9: Thanks. 366 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna be very tough for Juan Soto 367 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: at about half the places he goes in New York City. Uh, 368 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 2: he's gonna run into some Yankees fans at restaurants. He's 369 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: gonna find himself waiting at uh, at tables for for meals. 370 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 4: Uh. 371 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: And the cook is a die hard Yankees fan, and 372 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 2: maybe he finds you know, a little bit of h 373 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: from under cheese in his Caesar salad. 374 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 6: This is where Kwan call. 375 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 10: It's time for cash Man and how to go to 376 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 10: Plan B. After seeing Solo sign with the Mets for 377 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 10: a record breaking dude, I say, make that trade for 378 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 10: Bellinger and put Bellinger at centerfield and move Judge back. 379 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 10: So right, I say, try to go out there, sign 380 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 10: a Corbyn Burns or Knight Street and also spend the money. Spend, 381 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 10: spend money smartly, and spread the money smartly in the 382 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 10: fast find pieces youth. To think that will help fit 383 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 10: this team and help us win. 384 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: That seems to be the consensus spread around. I really 385 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: hope that the Yankees don't decide to just pocket the 386 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: money they were gonna spend. You know, I really think 387 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: they have to be aggressive. You know, one thing's interesting 388 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: if they do sign a big starting pitcher like Max Freed. 389 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 2: I mean, they still got a bunch of pitchers in 390 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: the stable, right, They've got Cole, They've got Rodin, they've 391 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: got Clark Schmidt, they've got Master Cortes, they've got Marcus Stroman. 392 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm forgetting somebody, so like they they're 393 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 2: gonna have to move and make some room to add 394 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: a starting pitcher, So it wouldn't shock me if they 395 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 2: dealt somebody like a Stroman or an Estra Cortez. And 396 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 2: also they don't have a lot of depth in the 397 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 2: starting pitching arena. They've traded a lot of their starting 398 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: pitching depth over the last few years, you know, the 399 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 2: Frankie Montas deal, the won Soto deal, so you know, 400 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 2: they need to replenish the farm a little bit. They 401 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: did draft a couple of college pitchers that I think 402 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: could move quickly through the organization. They got Henry Lalane, 403 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: who is young, hasn't pitched very deep into the minor 404 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 2: leagues yet, hasn't thrown a lot of innings, but he's 405 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: a guy who could move quickly, and he's got you know, 406 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: unbelievable stuff, you know, Chris Sale level stuff too, just 407 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: like Garrett Crochet, who's another guy that they're interested in. 408 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 2: So see how it shakes. 409 00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 11: Out from New Jersey and my feeling on the one 410 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 11: Soto situation as exactly as it has been all year. 411 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 11: This guy is a diva that is looking for nothing 412 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 11: more than. 413 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 9: The highest payday, highest aev. This is why he's been 414 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 9: traded from Washington to San Diego, from San Diego to 415 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 9: the New York Yankees and the Mets as usual are 416 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 9: a sucker in terms of overpaying for a guy because 417 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 9: the analytics say, go ahead and do it. Let the 418 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 9: Mets deal with this headache. It's gonna rear itself in 419 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 9: the next couple of years if they don't win with Soto, 420 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 9: with Boris. The Yankees should look at this as a 421 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 9: blessing in disguise, and GM Cashman, John the clock. 422 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 10: You're willing to. 423 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 9: Give up seven hundred million dollars for this, gentleman, go 424 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 9: on out here and stop trying to build a team 425 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 9: that is top heavy with big names on hull TI 426 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 9: contracts and a bunch of scrubs and underachievers. Reclamation project. 427 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, check that into my veins. Yeah, this is 428 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: this is a wake up call to Brian Cashman to 429 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: stop dumpster diving. They just showed us their hand. They 430 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 2: just showed us how much money they have to spend. 431 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: Go out and spend it. Get some real players in here. 432 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: That's a great call. That is a great call. You 433 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 2: got Brian here. 434 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 3: What's up, Derek, it's Brian. 435 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 7: Yep. 436 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: Well it happened, so it's gone. It is what it is. 437 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: Can't really even be that upset about it, honestly, I 438 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 3: just felt like at that back, with that many years 439 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 3: and that much money, at some point you're going to 440 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 3: have close to a fifty plus million dollar DH and 441 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 3: and he's going to be aging. So it's it's one 442 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 3: of those things. Maybe he's the greatest whole career, and 443 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: I hope he is because I liked him as a player, 444 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 3: But so that's one injury away from an absolute disaster. 445 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 3: Either way, I think this might be a blessing in disguise. 446 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: You can't really be upset too much as a Yankees fan. 447 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 3: I think they have a lot of potential moving forward. 448 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 3: I think there's some nice, tricky little players that would 449 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: be possibilities out there. 450 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 7: I know. 451 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 3: Some guys like Rookie Sosaki probably already locked up for 452 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, but they have I think he's a second basement, 453 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 3: possibly a short stop, but another I think his name's 454 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: almost Hosting Kim as well, coming out of the KBO, 455 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 3: the Korean League, and he was a Rake in the 456 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 3: past couple of years, over three hundred gold gloves three 457 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 3: seasons in a row with defense obviously translate it's anywhere 458 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 3: three hundred average, probably not, that'll probably be more like 459 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 3: two seventy to eighty. 460 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 7: But that plays. 461 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: Man, that plays, we'll see. I'm not big on signing 462 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: hitters out of the South Korea League. The pitching over 463 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 2: there isn't as good, right. I can see him struggling now. 464 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: The guy the Padres have also the same name, basically 465 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 2: ended up being pretty good player, but it took him 466 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: a couple of years. So we'll see. 467 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 12: As a Yankees fan, I'm so disappointed. This kid is 468 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 12: an amazing, amazing player, and the Yankees failed to sign 469 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 12: Wong Solo. 470 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 10: And you know what he as a Yankee fan, he 471 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 10: went to dull match. 472 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 7: Ah. 473 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 12: This is gonna hurt the sime Brenner family for a 474 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 12: long time. 475 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 2: I think they'll be okay. I think they will hang 476 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: in their brother. 477 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 7: What's up, guy, This is Louis Penfield calling. I got 478 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 7: a couple of questions. 479 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 13: So now that Soto's gone, he's out of the way, 480 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 13: what can we do or what should be done or 481 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 13: would be done to get let's just say, the. 482 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 9: Best off season. 483 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 13: Trades and signing for the New York Yankees, for example, 484 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 13: what is needed to get Vladimir Guerrero, Cody Bellinger. Obviously, 485 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 13: Corbyn Burns you need to sign, and Max Scree you 486 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 13: need to sign, but we need to trade Guerrero and 487 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 13: and for Bellinger. How does all that play out? 488 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: How do you see absolutely no chance they get both 489 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 2: Freed and Burns. They don't have two open rotation spots. 490 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 2: First of all, and Vladdy Junior is not getting I've 491 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: seen so many people say go out and get Laddie Jr. 492 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 2: First of all, Vladdie has already said he doesn't want 493 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 2: to play with the Yankees, so that won't happen. He's 494 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 2: not coming to the Yankees. If the Blue Jays traded him, 495 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: they wouldn't trade him in the division to their arrival. 496 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: They would trade him elsewhere. I don't see Vladdie Junior 497 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 2: coming to the Yankees. I don't think there's any chance now. 498 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 2: To answer your question, it's gonna take creativity. It's gonna 499 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: take some balls from Brian Cashman. It's gonna take Cashman 500 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: thinking outside of the box. And it's gonna take hal 501 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: Steinbrenner to ante up and agree to take some other risks. 502 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see how it shakes out. I've said 503 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: that a few times today. But we just gotta wait 504 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: and see. We just gotta wait and see. 505 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 14: How's it going, Yankees fan out. 506 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 15: Here in Oregon, just taking in the news, watching your 507 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 15: live stream. I gotta say, I gotta say, Father Steinbrenner 508 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 15: would be. 509 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 16: Rolling over in his grave if he knew Brian. 510 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 15: Cashman was still the jet manager of this organization. I honestly, 511 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 15: I'm not so surprised Soto left. 512 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 14: You know, you look at how this played out. You 513 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 14: think if he wanted to be a Yankee, he would 514 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 14: have stayed a first of first and foremost. But be 515 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 14: that this deal would have likely been signed weeks ago 516 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 14: if he wanted to stay Yankee, And you know, give 517 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 14: it to Scott Boris. He gets his guys' money most 518 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 14: of the time. Last year's died, but you know, seeing 519 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 14: your show and seeing the Yankees offered more money overall 520 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 14: with one more year. It's just clear that Soto did 521 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 14: not want to be a Yankee. 522 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 7: And all the fluff of. 523 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 14: Him going to the Red Sox and whatnot. 524 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: We all knew that was never true. 525 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 15: But the fact that he is not a Yankee, Father 526 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 15: Steinbrenner is probably rolling rolling in his grave. 527 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 2: Well, I believe that Cohen is basically the new Steinbrenner. 528 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: So I don't think that stein Brenner. Yeah, you know, 529 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 2: George Steinbrenner would have even been able to outbid uh Cohen. 530 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 2: You know, Cohen's just so super rich. When he wants somebody, 531 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 2: he's gonna go get him. Right, if it's all about money, 532 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: and it was only five million dollars difference, right, three 533 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: or four million dollars a year is like the Yankees 534 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 2: final offer was like forty seven point five per year 535 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: and he got fifty one. He didn't want to be 536 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 2: a Yankee, You're one hundred percent right? Got a voicemail 537 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: just came in a second ago. 538 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 16: Yo. 539 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 17: I look, you think that that Wan too was lying 540 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 17: about his decision. You know, he said that he would 541 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 17: he wanted to focus on money or that wouldn't be 542 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 17: his main factor. But what ended up happening. 543 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 16: Was, you know, he kicked he picked the myself for 544 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 16: something that was different. So I think he's a little 545 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 16: bit by language, kind of a little bitchy for that. Yeah, 546 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 16: if he enjoyed the Yankee you know, and I just 547 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 16: don't the loyalty that he made that claim with so 548 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 16: Aaron judgement. Five sorry, fourteen four hundred fifteen million offers 549 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 16: from the Padres. I know it's not as much as 550 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 16: one Sodo was offered, but that's a help out of money. 551 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: Then, yeah, you have to give Judge credit for at 552 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: least turning down. 553 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 3: To the worst of. 554 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: This is gonna be all right, let's not. I'm going 555 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: to pass that. 556 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 18: It's a real damn shame Soto the World Series. Him 557 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 18: and Judge could have made something really, really great. But 558 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 18: you know what, I don't want him. Now we can 559 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 18: get five players on the New York Yankees and watch 560 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 18: Soto watch the season. I want you to hear. 561 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: This goodbye exactly. The best revenge is immense success. Frank 562 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 2: Sinatra said that we got two more calls and then 563 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get on with my day. We got a 564 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: ten o'clock fair Territory with Ken Rosenthal, and I got 565 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: to get to a meeting for it. So I gotta 566 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: play two quick voicemails, this worst one. First one from Milton, 567 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 2: and then we got Booker. 568 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 7: All right, this is Milton from Texas. You know I'm 569 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 7: not disappointed. I can't say I don't care because I 570 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 7: want to Soto. But let's face it, that's too much. 571 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 7: There's no way you're going to bankrupt the team. And 572 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 7: when I say bankrupt, but I mean a literal sense, 573 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 7: I mean they're not gonna have enough money to get 574 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 7: the players. They really need to put it together. That 575 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 7: the nineties team when they won all those World. 576 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: Series, the day have the back to back no, they 577 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: had a couple of call of. 578 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 7: Famers Jeter and Mariano. Everybody else were situational hitters. They 579 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 7: hit when they had to hit. 580 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 19: The Pasadas, the Williams, even Jim Lewis hit a tremendous 581 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 19: home run a one time during that period. I mean, 582 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 19: I know, I'm going back a while, but they need 583 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 19: a player to score from second base when a singles 584 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 19: hit instead of trying to hit that home run and 585 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 19: then looking at. 586 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 7: The home But. 587 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 2: You got to you got to fill the roster with 588 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: baseball players. It's still baseball after all. 589 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 7: Hey, good evening, Derek, this is Booker. Just heard through 590 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 7: you on your program that on the Mets signed them 591 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 7: seven sixty five for fifteen years. I don't know if 592 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 7: I would have signed soo for that, but I mean, 593 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 7: we're between a rock and a hard place, you know, 594 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 7: signed Sodo for all the money, and then we get 595 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 7: a definite product. Now that he's gone, we have to 596 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 7: depend on Cashman, and Cashman does not have a good 597 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 7: record of building World Series teams. So we're hey, that's 598 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 7: the way life is. 599 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: Yeah uh. And then izz Dvo says he said, couple 600 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 2: of so flippantly. Yeah, Jeter and Rivera, who between them 601 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: had one person to vote against them for getting to 602 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame.
