1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: All right, the typy. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 2: It is Friday, May twenty third, and the Yankees were 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 2: in Colorado to take on the eight and forty two 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 2: Colorado Rockies. Aaron Judge playing in corps Field for the 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: first time in his career, and Clark Schmidt on the mountain. Plus, 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: we're gonna talk Yankees trades with TK tonight. My recap, 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: your reactions coming up next. This is pinstriped territory. 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: Wanted to pull. 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 4: That's all. 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: TK. How in the world does that happen? How does 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: that happen? How do you lose to the Colorado Rockies. 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 5: I'm gonna lost for words. You better win the next two. 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 5: Better win the next two. 14 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: My god, that is embarrassing. And the Knicks lost tonight. 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: So it's a very tough night for New York sports fans. 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: I'm just kind of I mean, I'm kind of numb. 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: I mean, there is no way that this Rockies team 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: should ever be able to beat the Yankees with their 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: current roster. They came in with eight wins in their 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: first fifty games this year, and they just basically stopped 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: the Yankees. Five hits for the Yankees tonight. They dropped 22 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: the first game of this road trip three to two. 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: We had a Judge home run. We had a not 24 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: so great start from Clark Schmidt, not much else. We 25 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: had a triple from Goldschmidt TK not a fun night. 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: Let's get to the recap, all right, let's go, let's 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: get it going, game fifty. Let me just go ahead 28 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: and update that that was first time this year. I 29 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: forgot to update the game number anyway. All right, So 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: single for Judge, RBI, triple for Goldie Knocks in the 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: first inning. I predicted the exact scenario with a triple, 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: but I thought it would be Vulpi. Wells ran into 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: some tough luck tonight. He smoked one at the second baseman. 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: Could have easily been a double play. I mean, a 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: double ended up being a double play. Fantastic job by 36 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: the second basement Amador who can't hit. He's got a 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: one to fifty two average and a four eighty eight ops, 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: but he can obviously pick it. Rockies tied it up 39 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: in the fourth, and I started sweating. But then Judge 40 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: went deep and I started, Okay, Well, they're the Rockies 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: for a reason, right, home run number seventeen for Judge. 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: But Schmidt was done in the fifth inning. We'll talk 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: more about him. Will spotlight him in a second, because 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: I got a lot to say about this outing. You 45 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: really want to see him get deeper into the game. 46 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 2: Rockies took the lead in the fifth inning. Tim Hill 47 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: came in with runners on and serve it up a 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: shot off the centerfield wall. TK. Tim Hill has just 49 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: not looked as good to me recently. Do you notice 50 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 2: the same thing? 51 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, I feel like with him sometimes relievers that 52 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 5: it's like that you kind of capture lightning in a bottle, 53 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 5: like capture some magic, which they did last postseason. He 54 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 5: pitched really well and towards the end of last year, 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: but he's been kind of spotted this year kind of 56 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 5: good sometime I'm not really good, Like I don't really 57 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: think there's a lot of consistency there. And I think 58 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 5: having it's important to have a left in the bullpen. 59 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 5: It's important to. 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Have that. 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 5: I think the arm slot is a little bit different, 62 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 5: in a little bit of a different look. But they 63 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 5: did throw Hedrick tonight, who I thought looked really good. 64 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 5: And if you're going to kind of replace a Tim 65 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 5: Hill with a Hedrick to have a left in the bullpen, 66 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 5: like I'm okay with exploring that option. That's not an 67 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 5: immediate decision for right now, but I'm okay with perhaps 68 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 5: kind of looking into that. 69 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, whatever the solution is, you know, they've 70 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: just got to get more outs out of the pen. 71 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: I mean, we're giving up too many leads, we're serving 72 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: up too many long balls, we're walking too many guys. 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: But Yankees did have a chance in the eighth. Grisham 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: walked to lead off the inning, but Judge got jammed 75 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: and bounced into a six to sixty three double play, 76 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: double kill. I've seen a few comments already about how 77 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: he's not clutch and YadA, YadA, YadA. Reminder that he 78 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: did hit a game winning home run on about a 79 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: week and a half ago. He had a clutch single 80 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: to tie the game, you know, a night or two ago. Yeah, TK, 81 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: is Judge clutch enough for you? 82 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? The regular season? 83 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the remains to be seen in October, 84 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 5: we can make an argument. But I think that people 85 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 5: I hear a lot of lately, like the Jeter versus 86 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 5: Judge conversation, Well, he's not Derek Jeter, because you know, 87 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 5: Derek Jeter performed all the time in the postseason, and okay, 88 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 5: pound for pound as a baseball player, Aaron Judge is 89 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 5: much much better baseball player than Derek Jeter. That doesn't 90 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 5: mean that Derek Jeter is less great than Aaron Judge. 91 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 5: To me, that's two different conversations. But I think what 92 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 5: people don't understand is that Derek Jeter played like an 93 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 5: entire season. 94 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: In the postseason. 95 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 5: I don't feel like, if you're really breaking down, he's 96 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 5: been in the league a while, but his sample size 97 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 5: in the postseason is like a quarter of what Derek 98 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 5: Jeter had, So I think it's just kind of like 99 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 5: he needs more time, even though he's older, if that 100 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 5: makes sense. So he he's clutch enough for me in 101 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 5: the regular season, and he's such a great player that, like, 102 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 5: even if he was clutched sometimes, I'm still cool with 103 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 5: that because he still hit a home run to take 104 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 5: the lead in the game when they needed it. He 105 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: hit the solo shot and then they coughed it up. 106 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: So there you go. That's baseball season. 107 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: Yep, it is what it is. But Yankees dropped this 108 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 2: one three to two. All right, so we're gonna quickly 109 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: talk about Clark Schmidt. I could sum up his performance 110 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: in basically three words tonight, too many pitches. Somebody just 111 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: commented it, this is an abysmal offense. But I felt 112 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: like he was trying to strike everybody out. It's like 113 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: he went in there thinking, all right, I want to 114 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: fan fifteen guys. He did have nineteen whiffs tonight, so 115 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: he obviously had swinging this stuff. But I thought there's 116 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: room for a more efficient outing here if you just 117 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: run the fastball or the two seamer inside on some hands, 118 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: maybe get some soft ground balls early in the count 119 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: instead of having all these deep counts where you're trying 120 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: to throw strikeouts. You're trying to throw curble after curble 121 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: after curveball. Four and two thirds innings against this offense 122 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: is not impressive at all. Three runs, two walks, eight strikeouts. 123 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: Top velosity was ninety five point three Who cares season 124 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: era four point five eight TK. What are your thoughts 125 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 2: on Clark Schmidt tonight? 126 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 5: When he had forty pitches in the second inning, I 127 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 5: was like, this isn't going to be good now. I 128 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 5: think the Rockies are a terrible team, so they weren't 129 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 5: really able to exploit that. But let's say he's playing 130 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,559 Speaker 5: against the Dodgers. He probably gives up seven runs tonight 131 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 5: or working accounts like that, you know, like you know 132 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 5: you're playing a competitive team, Clark Schmid. It's weird, right 133 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 5: because sometimes he has a really good start and I 134 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 5: really like what I see from him. But Derek, you 135 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 5: and I were not high on Will Warren like at all. 136 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 5: But he's strung together a nice little run of starts 137 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 5: here and he's looked really good. And my thing is, like, 138 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 5: is Will Warren going to kind of replace Clark Schmid 139 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 5: in the rotation? And maybe Clerkshman is a guy that 140 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 5: they end up trading to be honest, he's still got 141 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 5: what two more years of control after this year as 142 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 5: a free agent in twenty twenty eight makes three point 143 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 5: six million, So he's definitely movable. But I don't know 144 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 5: if they'll go in that direction. They definitely have to 145 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 5: be very confident that Will Warren can become that fifth starter. 146 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 5: But if they think that, and if Will Warren is 147 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 5: the guy that we've seen the last few starts, which 148 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 5: I don't know if that's the case, but let's just 149 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 5: assume in this world that it is. I feel like 150 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 5: he's a younger, better pitcher than Clarksman, and I would 151 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 5: probably look into moving Clarksman. 152 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting that you say that, because we've seen 153 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: this exact scenario play out before with Jordan Montgomery, where 154 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: the Yankees were in contention in twenty twenty two, they 155 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: were trying to get better, and they still traded Jordan 156 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: Montgomery for Harrison Bader at the deadline, and Montgomery, to 157 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: his credit, ended up pitching great for the Cardinals and 158 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: then for the Rangers. If the Yankees are trying to 159 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: kind of maneuver pieces around and just kind of reshape 160 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: the roster and they don't think that he's gonna fit 161 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: into their postseason plans, I can totally see that happening. 162 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: We got a couple of more super chats here. Infamous 163 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: Entertainment says Yankees playing down to their competition. Unfortunately, that's 164 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: very true. Franklin Lopez says, if I'm judge, I would 165 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: raise Hell in that locker room right now. I don't 166 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: think he's the type of guy that raises hell, right, 167 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: you know. And and and Mick mclee schuler says brother 168 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: peek bad Juju, saying they must win all three. Earlier today, 169 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: I said at the the the day before. I guess 170 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: that's called yesterday the day before today. So you know 171 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: the reason I said it is because it's it's true. 172 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 2: It should be unacceptable to lose to this team. I 173 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: don't believe in juju. I don't. I don't think that 174 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 2: what a podcaster says, especially a fan podcaster who wants 175 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 2: this team to win every game, has any effect on 176 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: the play on the field. I just don't believe that 177 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: for a second. Okay, so we're gonna talk Treedes tonight. 178 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: So we're gonna have kind of an extended talk about 179 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: some for players that we've been looking into all day. 180 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: But first I want to get the Arena Club ad 181 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: out of the way. Now this is a different type 182 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: of I'm reading it. So I'll be back in sixty seconds. 183 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: Actually it's a little bit longer. It's about a minute 184 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 2: a half. And then i'll be back with Terrence and 185 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 2: we'll talk trades. All right, it is time for the 186 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: Arena Club player spotlight. 187 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 4: Now. 188 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: I know that this guy didn't pitch tonight, but I 189 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: wanted to give a shout out to Carlos Rodon, who 190 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: really is feeling the power of the beard. I think 191 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 2: he's feeling more confident. I think he's feeling more like 192 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: the guy he was before he got to the Yankees. 193 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: And one thing that not a lot of people are 194 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: talking about. Look at the shape this guy is in. 195 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: Look at what he looked like back in twenty twenty three, 196 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 2: and look at him now. The man looks like he 197 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: has spent a lot of time in the gym, a 198 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: lot of time working, and that's what we want from guys. 199 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: We want guys who are going to put in the 200 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: effort even after they got one hundred and sixty million 201 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,479 Speaker 2: dollars pay day. And so far it has been fantastic. 202 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: He's posted a two point eight eight ERA so far 203 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: this season. That's exactly what it was before he got 204 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 2: to the Yankees, and then his first season with the Yankees, 205 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: his ERA was almost seven. So I think it's fair 206 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: to say that he's really turned it around. You look 207 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: at the metrics, they are phenomenal. He's throwing like an 208 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: elite pitcher right now. His pitch mix has gotten much better. 209 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 2: He's throwing the sinker more, he's throwing the change up more. 210 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: He's working in that curve ball early in the count 211 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: to establish strike one, which is something I love all right, 212 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: the folks at Arena Club did send me a slab 213 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 2: pack to open, and we're gonna find out which player 214 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: I got. We're gonna open it together so you guys 215 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: will get my live reaction. Here we go. All right, 216 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: I'll see who we got and it is Ken Griffy 217 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: Junior Mint Beautiful. You know, Ken Griffy Junior, I think 218 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: should have been a unanimous Hall of Famer. I saw 219 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 2: him play in person a number of times. I saw 220 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: him hit two home runs in Game one of the 221 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: ninety five American League Division Series Arena Club. Wow, thank you, 222 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: Ken Griffy Junior. The Mother Load Mint number three, nineteen 223 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: ninety eight Metal Universe. This is a banging card stream. 224 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: Ah what all right? TK, So we are going to 225 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: talk some Yankees trade talk. We are at the time 226 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: of the year where you start to see deals go 227 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: down sort of, you know, incrementally. You'll see one or 228 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: two probably in the next few weeks, and then they'll 229 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: really start to pick up. In July. The rumors are 230 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: gonna be coming. You're gonna see all sorts of stuff 231 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: on you know, MLB Network about trades and all the 232 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: podcasts and were talking about trades and right around Memorial 233 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: Day we're fifty games in or so general managers will 234 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 2: take a look at their team and they'll decide, all right, 235 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: do we have a chance at the playoffs? If not, 236 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 2: we should sell. We should save some money. We should 237 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: try and get some prospects for our valuable assets, save 238 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: a little money on budget. So today we put together 239 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: some names. We've got five names that we can talk about, 240 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: and we're open to some suggestions from the audience. Five 241 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: players that we think could help the Yankees. So let's 242 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: talk first about the needs. I think it's obvious we 243 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: need bullpen help. We saw that again tonight. Wouldn't mind 244 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: having a right handed bat and be better if they 245 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: played third base. And you'd like to get some salary 246 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 2: relief if you could move somebody like a Stroman, or 247 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: move somebody that makes a little bit of money that 248 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 2: allows you to add a better player at the deadline. 249 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: And so the typical sellers are the teams that are 250 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: pretty much out of it, don't really have much of 251 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: a chance. I've got the Marlins who are nineteen and 252 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: twenty nine, the Nationals who are twenty three and twenty seven. 253 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 2: Let's be real, they're not going to make the playoffs 254 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: in the NL East or in the NL period the 255 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,599 Speaker 2: Pirates seventeen and thirty f for the Orioles sixteen and 256 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: thirty three, the White Sox fifteen and thirty five, and 257 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 2: the Athletics twenty two and twenty nine. So do you 258 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: want to start us off TK with somebody? 259 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, an interesting name that I had brought up to Derek. 260 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 5: I actually he had already put it on a little 261 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 5: sheet here, a little pre show sheet. 262 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: But it was just a name that I was thinking of. 263 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 5: But Felix Bautista with Baltimore, the guy is absolutely electric stuff. 264 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 5: And Baltimore has had a massively disappointing season this year 265 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 5: so far. So he doesn't make a lot of money 266 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 5: at all. I think it's like a million dollars or so, 267 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 5: and I think he may be having two years of control. 268 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 5: You have to correct me that on Derek. But look 269 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 5: at all that red. Look at all that red right there. 270 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 5: So he was hurt, he had surgery. He hasn't been 271 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 5: as dominant this year as he's been in the past. 272 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 5: You see as a four to three to oho er, 273 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 5: But to me, that kind of like undercuts his value 274 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 5: a little bit. Maybe they're selling on the low. But 275 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 5: that is definitely a guy that I would love to have. 276 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: He's got great stuff. I think Matt Blake could really 277 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 5: kind of hone in on the sinker split combo there, 278 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 5: and the Yankees have shown that they really like that 279 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 5: kind of make up with a pitcher for Nando Cruz 280 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 5: kind of has that the sinker splitter. So that is 281 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 5: definitely a guy that I would love. I don't know 282 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 5: how much it would cost asset wise to get him, 283 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 5: especially when it's in division like that. I don't know 284 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 5: if they would rather trade him to like a West 285 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 5: Coast team or something like that, but that always kind 286 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 5: of comes into play. But yeah, Felix Bautista definitely a 287 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 5: guy I would be very interested in. 288 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: I like it. This is one that we were kind 289 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: of we both independently came to man, this guy would 290 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: be a nice fit. It shocks me what has happened 291 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: to the Orioles. I thought going into last year that 292 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: they were going to be the primary contenders, the favorites 293 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: probably to win the division. They didn't win it, and 294 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: this year it looks like they're going to be in 295 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: dead last, which I did not expect. Their young offense 296 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: has not clicked. They don't have a lot of pitching. 297 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: Losing Batista last year really hurt them. You saw what 298 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: he did in twenty twenty three at a one point 299 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: four to eight era. He was eight and two out 300 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 2: of the pen. Look at that sixty one innings, one 301 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: hundred and ten strikeouts, elite strikeout stuff. He did have 302 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: Tommy John surgery and he's kind of recovering, but he's 303 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: twenty nine years old. Not everybody comes back super strong, 304 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: but most pitchers eventually coming back from Tommy John get there. 305 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: So I think even if you have to pay a 306 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: little bit of a premium in division, I think he's 307 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: somebody you have to go out and get. And to 308 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: say that trades can't be made in division or whatever, 309 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: I see a few people saying things like that, just 310 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: a reminder the Yankees have done this before. Who was 311 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: the lefty, the sinker baller that they got? Oh? Shoot, 312 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: he was their closer for uh oh, I forgot his name. Britton, 313 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: Zach Britton, Zach Britton, Thank you so much TK for. 314 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: Okipedia. 315 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, mind like a steel trap. It's uh, it's been 316 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: a while, but I loved him When the Yankees first 317 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: got him. He was great, he was reliable, and it 318 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: came from the Orioles. And you know, the Yankees have 319 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: made trades with the Red Sox in division after the 320 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: Red Sox have fallen out of it, so I can 321 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: see this trade happening. Look, if you're in dead last, 322 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: you're not super close to winning the division, right, You've 323 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: got some work to do, and I just I think 324 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: this would it'd be one that I think would be 325 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: a good fit. Let me throw one else another one 326 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: at you. We need a third baseman. There is a 327 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: guy who has played a lot of left field recently, 328 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 2: but has also been playing third base recently and perhaps 329 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: kind of a showcase. He plays out west, but Yankees 330 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: fans will be familiar with him. He is hitting four 331 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: seventeen versus lefties. He's hitting three twelve on the season, 332 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: one of a three forty on base percentage and eight 333 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: four sorry a one to fifteen ops. And if you 334 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: pick him up, it allows you to dfa Reyes, which 335 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: is something we've been wanting to do for a while. 336 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: TKA present to you, mister miguel, and do hard for 337 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: your consideration. What are your thoughts on Mickey two bags 338 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: coming back? 339 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 5: That is that that would be funny. It would be 340 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 5: like a full circle moment. I actually think that. So 341 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 5: he came in second place for Rookie of the Year 342 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 5: behind Shoeyotani in twenty eighteen. Yeah, funny enough. Obviously, the 343 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 5: way things worked out, like it's better for the league 344 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 5: that Otani won the Rookie of the Year, but I 345 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 5: feel like he probably should have won. He hit like 346 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 5: two ninety seven on the year there. He had a 347 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 5: fantastic rookie. 348 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: Year, twenty seven homers. 349 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 5: I think twenty seven homers. He had a great rookie season. 350 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 5: It's just unfortunate that Shoeo Toni was also rookie that 351 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 5: year and he was pitching. So I feel like the 352 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 5: league was gonna give it to him no matter what 353 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 5: because it was such a unicorn thing. But if Shoeo 354 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 5: Tani is not in the league or in a second year, 355 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 5: he definitely wins Rookie of the Year. 356 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: So and then he kind of. 357 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 5: Bounced around struggled a little bit, but I feel like 358 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 5: the Yankees kind of didn't really give him a fair 359 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 5: shaite because gioe Orschella kind of burst onto the scene 360 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 5: and sort of just took his job because he was 361 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 5: playing well, but you never really got to see Miguel 362 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 5: and duharr. I feel like, get a fair shot, so 363 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 5: I would be open to it. The guy's a hitting machine. 364 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 5: He sucks at defense, he's terrible at it, but. 365 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean, boy can he hit. 366 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 2: So this comment for word life, for those of you 367 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: who are listening, it says, oh, for f's sake, Hey, 368 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: we're just spit bowing ideas here. There's nothing written in stone. 369 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: We're not advocating for these or or deadvocating. We're still 370 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: a long way from the trade deadline. What's it about 371 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 2: two months till the trade deadline? Over two months? So 372 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: this is kind of like you know when you're when 373 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: you're you go house shopping or whatever, the first thing 374 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: you do is you kind of just look at the area, right, 375 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 2: You kind of look at zillow right, what's available? You know, 376 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 2: what are the what are the schools like in this? 377 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 2: You know that type of stuff. All right. The next 378 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 2: guy I want to bring up is a right handed pitcher. 379 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: He is thirty three years old. He pitches for the 380 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 2: Washington Nationals, who are again not going to make the playoffs. 381 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: He is a solid guy. He's got fifteen saves, mister 382 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 2: Kyle Finnigan for your consideration, TK. 383 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 5: Kyle Finnegan is the name that I feel like this 384 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 5: has been thrown around the last couple of seasons, that 385 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 5: every deadline, are they gonna trade him? Are they not 386 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 5: very solid? Nice savant numbers. They're two four, one e 387 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 5: R so certainly interesting. He's had a good year so far. 388 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 5: I would definitely be okay with that. He throws about 389 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 5: like ninety six, so definitely not like a flamethrower, but 390 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 5: he throws hard. I say, I love how like ninety 391 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 5: six isn't a flamethrower anymore, But in today's game, I 392 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 5: feel like throwing a hundred is a flamethrower at this point. 393 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: But thirty three years old to fifteen saves. I like it. 394 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 5: Decent setup piece. I think Luke Weaver has locked down 395 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 5: the closer role. So we mentioned Bautista, we mentioned Finnegan. 396 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 5: Like to me, those would be like eighth in and 397 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 5: Guys seventeen. 398 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and Devin Williams in the seventh is miney 399 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: like I no pressure his stuff plays in the same 400 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: yeah yeah. 401 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 5: So I think I, if possible, I would rather get 402 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 5: Felix Boatista. But this would be like a nice consolation 403 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 5: prize if you're not able to grab him. 404 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 2: Dude, I can't believe we lost to the frickin' Rockies. 405 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 2: I'm still sitting in here like, oh my god. He 406 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: feels like a bad dream, right, it feels like a 407 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: awful dream, all right. So got a couple more here. 408 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 2: Looking at third baseman, Let's go to a guy we 409 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: just saw with the Rangers. Twenty seven years old. But 410 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: the Rangers do have a lot of infield depth. This 411 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: guy is an elite defender. He's got some upside with 412 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: the bat. Couple of years ago he had twenty three 413 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 2: home runs. He's still twenty seven years old. Eight twelve ops, 414 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: two eighty eight average. His name is Josh Jung, Texas 415 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: Tech product. You see the fielding run value there in 416 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 2: the eighty seventh percentile. I like this guy defensively. He 417 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 2: reminds me of like a young Matt Chapman. He's that 418 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 2: kind of fielder, and I think there's room to grow 419 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 2: offensively there. The average exit of velocity is not great. 420 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: He's about middle of the pack when it comes to 421 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 2: fifth percentage, strikeout percentage, doesn't walk enough. What are your 422 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: thoughts on whether the Rangers would make this deal, if 423 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 2: they would even move him. 424 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: I like him a lot. 425 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 5: The Rangers right now are twenty five and twenty seven, 426 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 5: so they are five games back behind the Seattle Mariners 427 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 5: to win the division. If they do that, and in 428 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 5: the wild card they're where are they? They're not even 429 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 5: shown up on I think anyway it doesn't matter. Oh yeah, 430 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 5: three games back to wild cards, so they're definitely like 431 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 5: right there. I don't know if they're necessarily going to 432 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 5: be sellers. They've they're kind of a middle of the 433 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 5: pack team, five hundred team. But if they do become sellers, 434 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 5: if they decide to be sellers, I think he's the 435 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 5: most realistic name that would be the best player in 436 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 5: terms of you can actually acquire him. I don't think 437 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 5: it's that outlandish, and I would be very interested. Yeah, 438 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: you mentioned the defense right handed bat, and to me, 439 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 5: my thing is like put him in the Yankee lineup. 440 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 5: I think that elevates his offense. You know, with the 441 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 5: guy like Judge Ballinger and gold Schmid, Like, if you 442 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 5: got those guys in the lineup, you're going to have 443 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 5: a little bit of protection there. It's not that Texas 444 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 5: doesn't have a good lineup. It's just that the guys 445 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 5: have really struggled. Marcus Simmons had a terrible season so far. 446 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 5: Corey Seger I think has hurt. Joshja Smith has been 447 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 5: really good for them. A Doulas Garcia is always dangerous, 448 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 5: but like it's definitely for them. They've had a lot 449 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 5: of injuries. Guys haven't played to the back of their 450 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 5: baseball cards. So if they do decide to trade him, 451 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 5: I would love them. 452 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: Let's look at one more guy that we're seeing throwing 453 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: around a little bit. This is Eugenio Suarez who tke 454 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: hit four home runs in the game earlier this year. 455 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you saw that. That was insane. 456 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: He is not a good fielder, he is not a 457 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: good base runner. But what the man can do is 458 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 2: destroy baseballs. He's got fourteen home runs this year, hitting 459 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: two twenty one. Last year he hit two fifty six 460 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: with thirty homers. You see the hard hit percentage in 461 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: the barrel percentage all fantastic. He does strikeout, walks are 462 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: about league average. Fielding just he's not a fielder, but 463 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 2: he plays third base. Word round the campfire is that 464 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks are willing to listen on him. They have 465 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: some prospects that can fill in and they are certainly 466 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 2: willing to listen, and they want to get better on 467 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: defense as well. What are your thoughts. I mean, it 468 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: would hurt our defense. But man, that's a bat. That's 469 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: a bat that would have looked good in Colorado tonight. 470 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, great back, great veteran bat who's been in 471 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 5: the league quite some time. And yeah, you look at 472 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 5: the red there's he hits the ball hard, strikes out 473 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 5: a little, a kind of a lot, I guess with 474 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 5: with percentages in the lower percent ale Chase percentage of 475 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 5: the lower percent anel. I guess the one thing I 476 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 5: would kind of worry about for him is if you 477 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 5: look at his spray chart, a lot of it is 478 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 5: to left center field, and I don't know if that's 479 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 5: going to play that well in Yankee Stadium because of 480 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 5: Death Valley out there. But I mean, he is a 481 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 5: really good player and I think he would be really 482 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 5: good as a Yankees, just whether or not the swing 483 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 5: would translate, almost a little bit like an Alex Bregman 484 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 5: situation where they didn't end up signing him because I 485 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 5: don't think they thought his Swing would play Yankee Stadium, 486 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 5: So just just a thought there, but I do think 487 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 5: that he would be a nice fit too. 488 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we got a couple of voicemails here. 489 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: This one is not about Royce Lewis. 490 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 4: What's from there? 491 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 3: And Cason from Alabama And I've been a life on 492 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 3: Yankee fan, but I was gonna talk about the trades 493 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 3: and one guy that stands out to me is Royce 494 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 3: Lewis from Minnesota. And while I'm not I know he's 495 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: not off to the best start of the season. He's 496 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 3: sinning one ninety one, but he only has forty seven 497 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 3: at bats and the Twins are in third place, and 498 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 3: obviously at third place, central team's probably not making the 499 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: playoffs of the wild card, so I think he could 500 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 3: be an option and another option probably not as likely, 501 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: and this was probably not likely either, but Josh Young 502 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 3: from the Rangers, he's off. 503 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I love the call. Royce Lewis is interesting 504 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: because he's a former one to one first round first pick. Yeah, 505 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 2: and he put insane numbers in short spurts, but then 506 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: he always gets hurt. Like a couple years ago twenty 507 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 2: twenty three, he had two hundred and seventeen at bats, 508 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: he hit three ZHO nine with fifteen home runs in 509 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: a nine to twenty OPS. The next year he had 510 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty five at bats, he hit sixteen 511 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 2: homers ops and average weren't as high this year, just 512 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: fifty one at bats. I don't know what his injury 513 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: was this year, but obviously he's continuing a miss time. 514 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: I've always thought that health is a skill, Like there's 515 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 2: certain guys that just can't stay healthy despite like supreme 516 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 2: athletic ability, like Jacoby Elsberry was one of those guys. 517 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: Mike Trout, Yeah, I mean to be fair, he came 518 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 2: up early, and he's kind of had like a lot 519 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: of mileage and he plays a tough position and runs 520 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: a lot. But you know, I'm trying to think. You know, 521 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: Slade Heath got some Yankee fans will remember him. He 522 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: was their top prospect for a while. He was at 523 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: number one draft pick, our first round draft pick for 524 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: the Yankees, but he could never stay healthy. Nick Johnson 525 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 2: was another one, amazing bat, great I at the plate 526 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: always hurt. Some guys just get hurt. They have great 527 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: athletic ability and can't stay healthy. Brian Buxton is another 528 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 2: example for the Twins, And I think Royce Lewis is 529 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 2: probably one of those guys, and I think I would 530 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 2: steer clear unless you got him on the cheap. 531 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, you got him on the cheap. But the one 532 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 5: thing I will say about Royce list he plays a 533 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 5: lot of positions. You can kind of put him anywhere 534 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 5: on the field, and that's really valuable, and that's really 535 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 5: nice and a number one overall pick. But yeah, when 536 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 5: I think of him, I think immediately typical Minnesota twin, 537 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 5: like Byron Bucksman, Byron Buxton gets hurt all the time. 538 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: I feel like he's never on the field. He's really 539 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: struggled with. 540 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 5: Health, and I think that's like kind of the last 541 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 5: thing this team needs, especially the last few years the 542 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 5: Yankees have really struggled with injuries. I feel like maybe 543 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 5: a little obviously Cole got Tommy John surgery, but like 544 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 5: a little bit less this season, like other than Cole, 545 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 5: Heal and Stanton. I mean, who's really been hurt for 546 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 5: the knock on wood? So but I don't know, I 547 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 5: don't think i'd be interested just because of the injuries. 548 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to comment, how's Geo Orchelle doing. He's watched. 549 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: He's just he's watched. He's it in two twenty four 550 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 2: or no power, all his mobility is gone. He is 551 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: he's he's going to be retiring in the next year 552 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: or two. I pretty much guarantee it. So we got 553 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: another comment here. I don't want to get your thoughts 554 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 2: on this. 555 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 4: Hi, Derek, This is Ray from upstate New York, Northern 556 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 4: New York, and I just want to wish a happy birthday. 557 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 2: Appreciate that. 558 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 4: I think this would be a good series to try 559 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 4: out Ben Rice at third base. When I call it 560 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 4: one other time, you know, some people thought, well, I 561 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 4: don't think so, or he wouldn't make it or whatever. 562 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 4: I think that that would be a good trial for him, 563 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 4: and also to get it to get more batting in 564 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 4: the order, I would suggest maybe even trying somebody different 565 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 4: at second base besides DJ, try maybe Trent Grissom. He's 566 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 4: pretty athletic. 567 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 2: Now, that's it. That's it. First of all, the right thing, 568 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: not the worst idea. And I saw that idea a 569 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 2: few places where people were like, well, let's just see 570 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: if he can play. I mean, you can't lose to 571 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: the Rockies, right, There's no way that can happen. Well, 572 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 2: they did, and Trent Christian is a lefty. He can't 573 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: play second base, so that's that's a no go there. 574 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 2: Lefties have to be able to turn the double play. 575 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 2: They have to be right hand or sorry, second basement, 576 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: have to be able to turn that double play at second. 577 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: You can't do it if you're left because you've got 578 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 2: to spin or throw against your body. It's just it 579 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: doesn't work. So what are your thoughts on the rice thing. 580 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to see it. I just 581 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: don't think we're gonna see it till spring training, if 582 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 2: at all. 583 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: Yep, definitely not this season. 584 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: That's a spring training project for him to like learn 585 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 5: an entirely new position. I'll put him there in MLB 586 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 5: the show and I'll see what he looks like. But 587 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 5: I just kinda think that that's like he needs the 588 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 5: full spring to get reps there and see what he 589 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 5: looks like. I thought he was taking grounders at third, 590 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 5: and they asked Boon about it and he's like, well, 591 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 5: Goldschmit was taking grounders at short. So it's really not 592 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 5: that big of a deal. But I feel like you 593 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 5: kind of know what you're doing there. Put him at third, 594 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 5: and there's been some chatter about it, but yeah, that's 595 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 5: the spring training thing. If I think it's an interesting idea, 596 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 5: and I would be definitely be down for that. I 597 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 5: would probably just in the off season be like, hey, 598 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 5: start learning third and see what he looks like there. 599 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: That's what I was saying in spring training. 600 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 5: When he was spring training, I was like, why don't 601 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 5: they at least put him in the outfield, Like see 602 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 5: what he looks like, just like how he moves and 603 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 5: how he you know, gets redes the ball off the bat. 604 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: And they didn't. So he's a DH first base catcher. 605 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: That's it. 606 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: Yep, yep. Samantha new Member says Cash will never admit 607 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: he was wrong on Volpi. I mean, I don't look 608 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: Volpi had another tough night, but everybody had a tough night. 609 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 2: I feel like he's he's kind of the default target, 610 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: like he's the new Clinte Frasier, Aaron Hicks. But I 611 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 2: like the kid. He plays hard, he hustles, he plays 612 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: every day. Is he a superstar? 613 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 3: No? 614 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: But I think he's a more than average second or 615 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 2: a shortstop. And uh, I mean he's to me, he 616 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: doesn't kill you. I mean when today isn't on Vulpi. Yeah, 617 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 2: we would have loved him for him to come through 618 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: in a big spot there, but really it's on well, 619 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: it's on the offense collectively. Just you got to score 620 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: more than two runs in cores against the Rockies. Any 621 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 2: final thoughts, TK. 622 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: That sucked. You better not lose two. You better know? 623 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: Watch you watch the game. I mean, didn't it suck? 624 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: Is sucked? 625 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 2: Suck all right, ladies and gentlemen, And sorry about the 626 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 2: Knicks two.
