1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Better up. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 2: Chris Kershner is joining us writes for The Athletic and 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: put out a good little article yesterday that we're about 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 2: to dive into. Chris. Great to have you on here, 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: and we called you as soon as we could when 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: we saw the article you put out with Ken Rosenthal 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 2: about the Yankees' interest in Edward Cabrera. But they're not 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: the only ones. What else can you tell us? 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Yankees do have interest in Edward Cabrera 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 3: with the Marlins, as Ken and I reported yesterday. A 11 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: couple of other teams are also in the mix, the 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: Mets and the Cubs. But last month at the Winter meetings, 13 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 3: Brian Cashman told reporters that he would quote love to 14 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: add another starting pitcher. As you guys probably know and 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 3: everybody watching, the Yankees are going to be without Garret Cole, 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 3: Carlos Rodin, and Clark Schmidt to begin the season as 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 3: they recover from their respective elbow surgery. So the Yankees' 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: rotation right now is pretty thin, and that's not even mentioned. 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 3: You know, the guys that they currently have on their 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 3: rotation who are coming off of career highs and workloads. 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: Max Freed Rodin is one of those guys too, Will 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: Warren and Cam Schlitler. So the Yankees are definitely in 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 3: the hunt for a starring pitcher. Cabrera is one of them, 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: and Ken and I also reported in that same article 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: that they are still talking to the Milwaukee Brewers about 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: Freddie Peralta. 27 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: Have they come off any of their previous statements from 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: previous offseasons or even trade deadlines of like, can't have 29 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Spencer Jones, can't have Jason Dominguz because each year that 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: these players don't have the All Star season, does it 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: make them less valuable to other teams or less valuable 32 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: to the Yankees where they could trade them. Have there 33 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: been any words on those types of players and their 34 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: other prospects. 35 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: Well, they've had previous discussions about both of those guys 36 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: at trade deadlines and offseasons, Domingiez and Jones. You know, 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: they also remain in the mix to re sign Cody Bellinger, 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: and if they resign Bellinger to a long term contract, 39 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 3: one of those guys is likely going to be out 40 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: of the picture. It wouldn't be a surprise at all 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: to see either Domingez or Jones get traded. I probably 42 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 3: would not think that either of those guys would be 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: included in a possible Cabrera deal. But you know, with 44 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 3: Peralta being a frontline starter, it would not be a 45 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 3: surprise at all to see either Domingez or Jones in 46 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: a package to land Peralta. I'm not saying that's going 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: to happen, but I would not be stunned at all 48 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: if if one of those guys is not in the 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: Yankees organization by the start of spring training. 50 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: Wow, that's a big that's a big thing. But what 51 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 4: about a free agent the Yankees haven't one of the 52 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: Yankees is going to make a splash in free agency? 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 4: We keep hal Steinbrener said, they have no money, and 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 4: they haven't gone out and gotten a Tucker or a 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 4: Bellinger or anybody. I know they've resigned some of their guys, 56 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 4: but when are they gonna make that Yankee splash because 57 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 4: they're one of the teams that hasn't really made a 58 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 4: splash that we expect to. 59 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the the Athletic paid for me to 60 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 3: go to Orlando and I had nothing to really write 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: about it. 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 4: Say Hi, you didn't even say hi. You didn't say 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 4: hi to us. 64 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Next time next time. But yeah, I mean, 65 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: the the Yankees are the only American League East team 66 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 3: to not make a notable external addition this offseason. You know, 67 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: they've seen the Blue Jays get much better. You know, 68 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: they they just signed Okamoto over the weekend. You know, 69 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: they remain in the mix to sign Kyle Tucker. But yeah, 70 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: I mean the Yankees are you know, their main priority, 71 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: which is what they've been saying publicly, is to re 72 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: sign Cody Bellinger. They've not made that a secret. You know, 73 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: if they add one of these starters in Cabrera or Peralta, 74 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: I think that would be a really nice move for 75 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: the Yankees, but it's probably not satisfactory to you know, 76 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: the Yankee faithful. They are hoping that they get much 77 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: better from what they were this past season. And you know, 78 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: they got eliminated in the Alds by the Blue Jays. 79 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: The blue Jays had their number all season. You would 80 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 3: think that the Yankees would try to make bigger moves. 81 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 3: But you know one thing that they've been very clear 82 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: about basically since the season ended, both Brian Cashman and 83 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: Aaron Boone, is they think this roster is good. You know, 84 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: they have the same record as the Blue Jays do 85 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: I think that they're as good as the Blue Jays. 86 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: I don't, but you know, I'm not getting paid to 87 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: make those kinds of decisions. They feel like they have 88 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 3: a good roster and we'll see if they're correct in 89 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. 90 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: Does the missing not even missing? Didn't even really like 91 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: push hard on Emai? Is it more indicative of who 92 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: they're actually going after for starting pitching or more about 93 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: what Imai was going to bring to the table. And 94 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: because the price really was, isn't that high and I 95 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: thought he was Probably if they thought he was the 96 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: big fish for them, as Cashman has said before, are 97 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: white whale, then they would have gone after him and 98 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: gotten him based on how much pitching they're going to 99 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: need for the first three months of the season. 100 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: Well, I think the industry said what they thought of 101 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: em with that contract that he signed. I certainly thought 102 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: that he was going to get more money than what 103 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: he ended up signing with with the Astros three year, 104 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 3: sixty three million dollars. You know, I did have multiple 105 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: people with the Yankees early in the offseason expressed their 106 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: interest in Emi. Obviously they didn't. They ended up not 107 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: feeling similarly at the end when it came time to 108 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 3: sign him before his posting window expired. But I definitely 109 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: thought that it was a worthy person for them to 110 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: go after, especially considering the price. You know, if he 111 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: can realize his potential, that's a steal for Houston. And 112 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: you know, it's definitely you know that organization has done 113 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: a really good job of developing developing pitching over the 114 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: past several years in that but I was certainly surprised 115 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: that they didn't go after Emi. But if they end 116 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: up getting a Cabrera or Peralta, both of those guys 117 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: have shown that they can do well on the major 118 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 3: league level. We have no idea what Emi is going 119 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 3: to look like. Obviously we have some idea just with 120 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: how advanced the data is now over in Japan. But 121 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 3: I was definitely, very very surprised that they ended up 122 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: passing on him, especially at the number that he signed at. 123 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 4: Okay, you brought up Jason Dimingez and the other big 124 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 4: name is Spencer Jones with the Yankees. Which one of 125 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: these do you think they find more valuable. Jason Dimingez 126 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 4: has put up has gotten some at bats in the 127 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 4: big league. Spencer Jones hasn't really gotten that opportunity. So 128 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: which one of these do you think the Yankees find 129 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 4: more valuable and would be more reluctant to trade for 130 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: a player that they they might desperately need, like you said, 131 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 4: because their rotation is thin at the moment. 132 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: I've heard mixed reviews from their own organization regarding Spencer Jones, 133 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: So just that alone, I would imagine that they feel 134 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: that Dominguez has more value long term. Also, you have 135 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: to take into account that Dimingez is only twenty two 136 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: years old and he already has major league experience. You know, 137 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: he didn't have the season that I think many people 138 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: expected him to have. You know, he went into the 139 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: year with you know, a starting role basically guaranteed in 140 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: left field. You know, we did not know that Trent 141 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: Grisham was going to end up having the season that 142 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: he had, and he ended up taking uh Diminguz's playing 143 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: time essentially with him and center and then moving Bellinger 144 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: to left field. So we didn't expect that. But he 145 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: was still a slightly above league average hitter this past season. Domingez, 146 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: so I think he certainly has potential. He obviously has 147 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: to get better defensively, he was a disaster in left field, 148 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: one of the worst overall outfielders defensively this past year. 149 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: If he doesn't get better, then you wonder just where 150 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: he's going to fit long term. But with him being 151 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: twenty two, Spencer Jones being twenty five, striking out nearly 152 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 3: thirty three percent of the time in the minor leagues 153 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: this past season, I think it's pretty obvious that Domingez 154 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 3: has more value long. 155 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: Term bobas sheet. The Yankees have said that they were 156 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: or talking to him or have reached out. Is that 157 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: more of a make sure the next team, the Blue Jays, 158 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: or if the Red Sox have to pivot to him 159 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: pay the most, or is it something that there could 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: be a fit with other things moving around. If Boba 161 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: Schett were to sign with the Yankees. 162 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: Well, if Bellinger is their number one priority, I do 163 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: not think that they would be getting both Bellinger and Bushett. 164 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: It would be likely that Bishett would be a backup 165 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: option if Bellinger goes elsewhere, which I am not expecting. 166 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: I do think that eventually the Yankees and Bellinger will 167 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: agree to a new deal, But I've heard that the 168 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: Yankees interest in Boshett is really not even that solidified. Yes, 169 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: they've checked in. The one thing I will say about 170 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: checking in on free agents is it is the job 171 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 3: of the general manager to check in on everybody that's 172 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 3: out there. You know, they It doesn't mean that they're 173 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: necessarily one hundred percent interested in that player or going 174 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: to sign them. But you know, Brian Cashman is not 175 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: doing his due diligence if he doesn't check in to 176 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: see where Bischett's market is, which teams might be interested. 177 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: But you know, as of today, I don't think that 178 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 3: the Yankees and Bashett is a realistic possibility. 179 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 4: Okay, we got to ask about the scouting director or 180 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: the international Edgar Edgar Matteo getting dismissed so close to 181 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 4: the international signing? What do they call it deadline or 182 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 4: opening or whatever? The window whatever it's called right now? 183 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 4: Right the period? 184 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, good points, gott period. 185 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 4: But is this a big deal for the Yankees? Are 186 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 4: they looking to go in a different direction? Why do 187 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 4: you make this move? You had a whole year basically 188 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: to do this. Why are they making this move so 189 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: close to the period. 190 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so Edgar was the assistant to Donnie Roland. They 191 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 3: got rid of Donnie Roland a few weeks ago. Now, 192 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: Donnie had been in the organization for over a decade. 193 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: But you know, if you go through the Yankees international 194 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: free agents in the past several years now, there have 195 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 3: been numerous multi million dollar misses with the Yankees. They 196 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: just haven't really executed that portion of their organization as 197 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: well as they have hoped. You know, Domingez has been 198 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 3: their best international signing, and you know, the jerry is 199 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: still out on what kind of player Dimingez might be. 200 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 3: You know, they gave five million dollars to Roderick Arius 201 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: a few years ago, and he doesn't look like he's 202 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 3: going to be the kind of player that they thought 203 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 3: he would be. So if you go through just you know, 204 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: on Baseball America, some of the dollar figures that they 205 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 3: have given out over the past several years, there are 206 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: not many hits for the Yankees. They've signed Carlos Lagronje, 207 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 3: who's now one of their top pitching prospects. I believe 208 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: he got like ten thousand dollars a few years ago. 209 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: They've hit on some of those guys, like the lower 210 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 3: level guys. But when you're talking about international free agency, 211 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: especially for a team like the Yankees, who's never drafting 212 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: high in the draft. You have to make sure like 213 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: that part of your organization is as well as it 214 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 3: can be, and it's not. So that's why the Yankee 215 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 3: He's are now in the market for a director of 216 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: international and an assistant director. As you mentioned, they got 217 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: rid of Edgar a few days ago, but it's the 218 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: timing is not great because the international free agency period 219 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 3: opens on January fifteenth. You know, a few weeks ago 220 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 3: they lost their number one guy I do not know 221 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 3: how to pronounce his last name, wandhy Asi g e 222 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 3: N to the Mets. I think he signed for three 223 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 3: point six million dollars. I know several people in the 224 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: Yankees organization were very high on his potential. But you know, 225 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: those are the things that happen when you do make 226 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 3: those moves. You know, you look at college football when 227 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: coaches go elsewhere, some of those players end up hitting 228 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 3: the transfer portal. So it's no different here with international 229 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: free agency. 230 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: Hey Chris, thanks for jumping on with us. Great article, 231 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 2: going back to where we started here on the Yankees 232 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: looking at Cabrera and Freddie p and others. Thanks for 233 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: joining us, did yep, thanks for having me today's futures 234 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: pick for Bet MGM and L Rookie of the Year odds. 235 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: The top three here Nolan MacLean plus three forty, South 236 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: Stewart plus five hundred, Bubba Chandler plus seven hundred, Jj 237 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: Weatherholts also plus seven hundred, Moises balistais plus eight hundred, 238 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: Justin Crawford plus nine hundred, And then you know it 239 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: starts to get lengthy, or there anybody on there, and 240 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: there's a longer list that you guys have in your 241 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: little notes if you want to go further down the board. 242 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: Connor Griffin twelve hundred might be the last time you 243 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: see four four numbers behind his name. I think the 244 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: Pirates are making the moves that reminds me back of 245 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: when Fernando Tatis. Obviously they're not making the same big 246 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: moves like the Padres did, but Tatis in nineteen had 247 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: some veterans go in after during spring training and say, 248 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: this guy has to make the team. And I was 249 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: on the Giants and he made his debut that series 250 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: against against US. And obviously Tatis's you know, his career 251 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: has had some ups and downs, but there's there's electric 252 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: in there and Connor Griffin has shown he has that 253 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: same same electric not just ability on the field, but 254 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: also the fact that, like Pittsburgh's, a normal Pittsburgh team 255 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: would not have called him up until the until the 256 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: free agency whatever that window is. Now, with the extra 257 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: bonuses you get as a team, I think they'll be 258 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: less hesitant to make the move and go, look, we 259 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: won another year. We think you're ready. We see this 260 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: in you. You're our starting shortstop in the big leagues. 261 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: And I think anytime that happens, I think he's gonna 262 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna hit the ground running. And you know, I 263 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: think it would be his his his award to lose. 264 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: He turns twenty in April, that would. 265 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: They give him a shot to make the team and 266 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 4: be the short stop. He'll probably win it, you think so, 267 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: I think I think his ae year old shortstop. I 268 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 4: think it's between him and I think Nolan McLain, with 269 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 4: what we saw from him with the Mets last year, 270 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 4: is the other guy if he stays healthy. Those are 271 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: the two I would rather put my money, like Kraut 272 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 4: said on Connor Griffin, just because the plus twelve hundred 273 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 4: is a better bet for me. I don't think Ballisterio 274 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 4: is gonna get another bets just In Crawford. I don't 275 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 4: know if he makes that team out of spring training. 276 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 4: He might, he might not tong and didn't impress me enough. 277 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 4: Bryce Eldridge tough play San Francisco to hit that hurts 278 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 4: mem Chandler. Are they gonna start him? Are they going 279 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 4: to pitch him out of bullpen? What are they gonna do? 280 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 4: Sal Stewart strikes out too much for me. I think 281 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 4: it's McLean and Griffin if he makes the team out 282 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 4: of spring training, those are the two for me. 283 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: I like value with Justin Crawford. I mean, you have 284 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: to keep an eye on maybe spring training. 285 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 4: The one thing about Justin Crawford that he has Ann McClain. 286 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 4: They play in big markets. 287 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: Wait, that helps you big markets A very good regular 288 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: season lineup where he can just slot right in. You're 289 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: gonna drive in a lot of runs, score a lot 290 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: of runs. 291 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: Right. 292 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: He's an all around player, so the war should help him, defense, speed. 293 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: I think all of those things that up and Justin 294 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: Crawford has some value. I'm not saying he's gonna win, 295 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: but there's value there. And they waited. I mean, he's 296 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: this will be. It's not he's not old, but this 297 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: will be his age twenty two season. He's durning twenty 298 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: two this month. So I just like that play. I 299 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: think Justin Crawford could contribute because even if the bat's 300 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: not supreme, got good support around you, and other parts 301 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: of his game are gonna be good. 302 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, but if he doesn't get off to a 303 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 4: good start, it's there's a lot. 304 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: But I agree, Yeah, I just don't. I think they're 305 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 2: leaving a spot open for him to be a somewhat 306 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: every day guy. 307 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: Okay, it's his Yeah, it's his spot to win or 308 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say to lose. But he starts to win. 309 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: He stills to show he can elevate pitches. He hits 310 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: the ball hard. It's a lot on the ground. Everybody 311 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: got on me. No, he's a left fielder. They really 312 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: like what they see in centerfield, and I think they're 313 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: gonna give him a chance because they want had to 314 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: be the everyday guy and not platoon their center field position, 315 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: which will help in the Rookie of the Year stuff. 316 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: I'm with you, all right, bet. I'm jam players can 317 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: get in any sport parlay boost token to start off 318 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: the New year, right your payout. If you use that 319 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: and pair it up in your bet slit and activate 320 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: the token.

That's the simple way 322 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: of how parlay boost token works.
