We're gonna talk about all of that, 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: and we're gonna talk about whether or not Aaron Judge 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 2: will ever get a ring with the New York Yankees. 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: TK is with me tonight. This is pinstripe territory. 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 3: She wanted to talk at tole. 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: All right, let's go, let's get it go it well, 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: after a myriad of technical difficulties, we do have a 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 2: podcast this evening, Terrence, How you doing, my man? How 13 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: you doing? Hey? 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: I'm doing well. 15 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 4: I'm not as stressed out as you. Just work as 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 4: that was stressful on my end as well. But but 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 4: Derek is a technical genius and he figured it out. Man, 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 4: He's a wizard. 19 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know about genius. I mean I unplugged 20 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: my Internet and plug it back in. 21 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean. 22 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 3: For a lot of people mean genius. 23 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: So tonight the major thing. So there's not a lot 24 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: going on with the Yankees, right, so I will touch 25 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: on the Bellinger thing, because we're still waiting on the 26 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: Bellinger decision. But I want to talk about some of 27 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: the other moves that went down because I didn't go 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: live the last few days. As you can see, there's 29 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: you know, updates to the graphics and things like that, 30 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna unveil some other things in a few minutes. 31 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: But I've been working behind the scenes the last few 32 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: days like I do. When the Yankees got nothing going on, 33 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: uh so I didn't have a chance to podcast. I 34 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: wanted to have TK on here and kind of get 35 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: his opinion on some things. So we're gonna talk about Tucker. 36 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about Bobashett. You know, one too long 37 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: ago we were saying the Yankee should get both those guys, 38 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: and obviously they both landed with rivals. Neither of them right, 39 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: neither neither that works too neither. Yeah, and then and 40 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: then we're gonna talk about you know, obviously Bellinger, and 41 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: we're gonna debate whether or not Aaron Judge will ever 42 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: get a ring with the New York Yankees. Plus we 43 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: got a couple of voicemails. We got Stephen from Italy, 44 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: who's always awesome, So tk Let's get after it. The 45 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker News two hundred and forty million for four years. 46 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: I could not believe the numbers I saw because all 47 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: we saw was he was gonna get a short term deal. 48 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: But we didn't have any clue that he would get 49 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: an average of sixty million dollars per year. And I 50 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: think with the signing bonus and all that stuff and 51 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: the deferrals, it comes out to less. But still, did 52 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: you go crazy when you saw this contract? 53 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: Well, when I saw that it was to the Dodgers, 54 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 4: I was a little irritated. Yeah, But you know, how 55 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 4: can I how can I hate on it? I guess 56 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 4: like they're just running their team. Well, it's not like 57 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: they're doing anything against the rules. Now, are they going 58 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 4: to have a strike to rejigger the rules a little 59 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 4: bit because of this? I think that there's a strong 60 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 4: possibility of that being the case. Yes, But right now, 61 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: as it stands, they're not doing anything against the rules. 62 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: They just got great people running their organization. And kind 63 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: of tip my cap to them. And the way that 64 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 4: I'm kind of looking yet it is if the Yankees 65 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 4: do find their way back in the World Series with 66 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 4: the Dodgers, at twenty twenty four rematch and they somehow 67 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: beat them, that ring will be that much sweeter. 68 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 3: That'll be worth like two rings to me in a way. 69 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, So the sixty million a year is obviously the 70 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 4: AAV is pretty insane. And I remember Jeff Passon reporting 71 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 4: when when Wan Soda went over to the Mets right 72 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 4: and he was getting fifty one, he was like, I 73 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 4: think there'll be a long time before we get that 74 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: to see that being you know, toppled, but obviously barely 75 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 4: lasted a year. The only reason, though, is because it's 76 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 4: a short term contract. It's only for like what four years, 77 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: So if it's like a monster ten to fifteen year contract, 78 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: I don't think you get that high of an AAV. 79 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: But if I were Kyle Tucker, to be honest with you, 80 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 4: I probably would have taken the Toronto deal the ten 81 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: years for three fifty. I feel like there's like very nice, 82 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 4: just security, like you're in there for. 83 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: The rest of your career. 84 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: But as a Yankee fan, I'm happy he's not there. Like, 85 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: let me just be clear about it. 86 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: Well, let me interrupt for a second. How do you 87 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: turn down an extra one hundred and ten million dollars. 88 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: Is Canada that cold? I mean, is it really that 89 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: cold up there? I mean, I don't know to me. 90 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: I mean you could argue, like players have talked about 91 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: playing in Toronto, taxes on the dollar because it's a 92 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: different currency. But I mean you could argue as well 93 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 4: that California is I mean, I live here, so I 94 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 4: know it is a very highly taxed state. 95 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 3: So I don't really think there's that much of a difference. 96 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: What's a tax on minimum wage? What's a. 97 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 3: A lot a lot less than what i'll that's all right? 98 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: So so all right, you talked about a potential strike 99 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: or a lockout. Do you think that this is what 100 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: occurred to me right away? I one, this is gonna 101 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: tick off a lot of fans for like the smaller 102 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: market teams, obviously, but he wasn't gonna go to a 103 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: smaller market team anyway. Do you think that the Dodgers 104 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: are doing anything wrong or are they just kind of 105 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: like taking advantage of the current rules. I mean, the 106 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: rules say they can just go out and sign whatever, 107 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: defer hourerever much they want. They got a ninety million 108 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: dollar advantage over the number two payroll right now. Yeah, 109 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: I think they're serving fans. I think they're serving their fans. 110 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: I wish the Aikies would do it. 111 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: No, seriously, there is nothing in the rules that say 112 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 4: that you cannot defer money and that you cannot have 113 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: a superstar at every position. It's just that this ownership 114 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: group with the Dodgers decides to do that rather than 115 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 4: the ownership group in Pittsburgh would never do this. 116 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: Now. 117 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 4: I understand that it's the Dodgers and that's like a 118 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: major franchise, and it's it's attractive to play for them, 119 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 4: But you know, the Angels could turn around and do this, 120 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: but they won't. It's it's just I think the key 121 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 4: with them started with the Otani contract. The fact that 122 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: they defer the sixty eight million that really gave them 123 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 4: a lot of flexibility and all the money that it 124 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 4: brings over from Japan and the marketing. And you know, 125 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: my sister went to Tokyo for her honeymoon and she 126 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 4: was like, he's like John Lennon over there. He is everywhere. 127 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 4: Everywhere you look there is a picture of Shoho Tani 128 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 4: doing something, and the Dodgers are making money, you know, 129 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 4: handful over the money they're making off of him is insane. 130 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 4: So and then I keep seeing it in the comments, 131 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: like and I've thought this myself, like, all right, ten 132 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 4: twenty years down the line, when all those bills come 133 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: due from this current regime, Like, are they gonna be bankrupt? Like, 134 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 4: what's gonna happen? No, Actually, because they're owned by the 135 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 4: Guggenheim Group, which is an investment brand, like an investment company, 136 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 4: and they are going to just take the deferred money 137 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 4: and they're gonna put it aside in an investment account 138 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 4: and make money off the interest and what they get 139 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 4: back on the return on the investment, and they're gonna 140 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 4: be able to pay the contract. 141 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 3: No problem there. 142 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 4: There is just a loophole that they were able to manipulate. 143 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 4: I don't see anything wrong with it. It's it's part 144 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: of the rules. It's part of the rules of engagement. 145 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 2: I wish the Yankees would do it, honestly. And I 146 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: see a lot of fans like hol is cheap and 147 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: all this. I don't think Hal is cheap. I just 148 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: don't think he has the money to compete with these 149 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: you know, the Googen hives and these huge head funds. 150 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: All that Steinbrenner does and this family basically is owned 151 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: the Yankees, and they have like a share and a 152 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: soccer team, and then you know, yes, now we're gonna stop. 153 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: But I mean you're talking about like hedge funds where 154 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: they move money around. They literally make money on every 155 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: single transaction. They have endless money. I just think that 156 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: the Yankees can't compete and and forget about How selling 157 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: the team. That's why I think How he doesn't want 158 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: to sell the team. He wants to change the rules 159 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: so that, like if you ask George Steinbrunner, he would 160 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: not have been in favor of a salary cap because 161 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: he was the one spending. He was the one taking 162 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: advantage of it. Now that they're not the big dog anymore, 163 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: they don't want to They don't want that rule to 164 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: be in place. They want to have a salary cap. 165 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: That's the Yankees' position now, and I think that's part 166 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: of the reason that How isn't spending. He wants to 167 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: be able to look these people in the eye and say, hey, look, 168 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: I'm rich. I can't compete with these folks, like I 169 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: can't compete with the Googen Hims and Steve Cohens. And 170 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 2: so you know, if you go out and you spend 171 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: two hundred million, three hundred million this offseason, and you 172 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: have all these big contracts already, and you got this 173 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: enormous payroll. It's hard to, you know, justify that argument. 174 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: So I think that's what's going on there. I also 175 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: wanted to talk about the the the Bobaschett news, because 176 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: this one was an interesting an interesting move. One, it 177 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: hurts the Blue Jays, which I think is good. You know, 178 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: I like that the I like that he's gone from 179 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: from the division. I think that's a good thing. The 180 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: other thing is that the Mets pivoted right, they lost 181 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: out on Talker and they immediately turned the page and 182 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: went to the next guy, which I wish the Yankees 183 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: would do that. They used to do that too, right, 184 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 2: So it feels like the Mets are really acting like 185 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: the Yankees used to. 186 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean they got Steve Cohen obviously, who 187 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 4: I heard a rumor that he's like in the in 188 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 4: the in the red with the Mets, like he's just 189 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 4: kind of dipping into his hedge fund. 190 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: For It's a lost leader is what they call that. 191 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 2: It's like so like the news right right for CBS, 192 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 2: like the news. It's it's what's called a lost leader, 193 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: like you lose money on it, but it's important to 194 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: have it. He wants it's a toy for him, right, 195 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: It's yeah, good, it's you know, like you or I 196 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: would have a Netflix subscription and it's like it does 197 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: nothing but drain money from our account, right And and 198 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: you know we we probably don't take advantage of it. 199 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: I mean maybe we do, but I don't. I know, 200 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: I don't watch a whole lot of movies. Maybe I'll 201 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 2: watch one movie a Month's probably not worth nineteen bucks 202 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 2: a month, I you know, but to me, it's it's 203 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 2: worth it just to have it. So if I want 204 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: to be entertained myself, I can't. I think that Cohen 205 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: owns the Mets as almost a toy, a hobby. 206 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent, that's that's definitely what. 207 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 4: He's just a fan and he wanted to just buy 208 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 4: them because he's a fan, and he wanted to, I 209 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: guess make them good because they've never been and he 210 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 4: bought the team. It's probably a tax write off for him, honestly, 211 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 4: when he when he takes the loss, he could just 212 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 4: write it off on his taxes. But to me, the 213 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 4: Boboushet to the mess. That's a panic move. You know, 214 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 4: you lost Peter Lonzo a lot and you lost Edwin Diaz. 215 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: Your fans are pretty pissed off, and you know, Kyle 216 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 4: Talker goes to the Dodgers and then and then Boba 217 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: Schet's a met. I feel like that's definitely a panic move. 218 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 4: You can tell as well because it's not a long 219 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 4: term commitment. Now, is that coming more from Baschet's camp 220 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: or the Mets camp where he wants the ability to 221 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 4: re enter the market. I don't really know, but I'd 222 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 4: definitely see it as like a total panic move. I 223 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 4: don't really think it makes a lot of sense on 224 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 4: their team, Like in terms of their lineup, what is 225 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 4: he going to play third? I guess they have Marcus 226 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 4: Simon playing second indoor play. 227 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that makes it. That's actually I like 228 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: him at third base because you don't have to worry 229 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: about the range, right it's shortstop. The problem was the 230 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: range at second base. You deal with the same issue 231 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: at third base. I mean, I've always thought that he 232 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: had a pretty good arm, you know, he could play. 233 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 2: I mean I haven't looked at it in a while. 234 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: Let me just check out his baseball Savan. I could 235 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 2: be talking out of my ass there, but I've seen 236 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: him make some nice throws. I think the arm plays 237 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: at third base. 238 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if he came to the Yankees, I 239 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 4: wanted him at third. To be honest with you. 240 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: It's arm strength. It's thirty six percentile, so it's in 241 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: like you know, it's below average. But it's not like 242 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: it's not horrendous, it's not great. It's the problem is 243 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: his range at shortstop. You know, he's in the first percentile, 244 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 2: which is bad, like the worst range in the league, 245 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: you know, but you don't need to move around quite 246 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: as much at third base. But I like that He's 247 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: a guy that gets hits, like every single year, he's 248 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: you know, one hundred and seventy five to two hundred hits. 249 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 2: He's a three hundred hitter for his career. He's two 250 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 2: ninety four. He's got power. I think he's gonna do 251 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: a fine job. And I think having somebody on base 252 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 2: a ton in front of Juan Soto is going to 253 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: really help them. Now, I don't know if the Mets 254 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: are as good as they were last year without Alonso, 255 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: and you know, obviously without Edwin Diaz. But I think 256 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: this is a good move, and I think it gives 257 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: him a lot of options in their lineup. 258 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I could see that. 259 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 4: I mean, I still think it's a panic move just 260 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: because of the fan base being upset with them and 261 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 4: they're missing a little pop in their lineup. But as 262 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 4: far as the Blue Jays perspective goes, I think they're 263 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: good on letting him walk. With the Okamoto coming over, 264 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: they kind of just replaced him with that bat right there. 265 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 3: But at least for the Mets. 266 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I mean, I don't know Lindor and Baschett. 267 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: To me, it's kind of like they're sort of similar players. 268 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 4: I think Lindor is obviously the better player, I think, but. 269 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 3: He's a little. 270 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 4: And he has a little bit more pop than Machet does. 271 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 4: Michet's consistently a three hundred hitter. And we'll see what 272 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 4: it works out, but I think it's a panic move. 273 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: All right, Let's talk about Cody Bellinger, because the J's 274 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: and the Mets have both been rumored. I still think 275 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: that nobody's going to meet the price that the Yankees 276 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: are willing to pay, and you know, just looking at 277 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: his numbers. He was obviously much better at home. I 278 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: think that his career will be better served playing with 279 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: the Yankees with that short porch. Do you think he's 280 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: coming back? I mean, do you think all this talk 281 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: of a stalemate and the Yankees thinking he's gone, do 282 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 2: you think it's all just you know, talking through the 283 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: media basically to kind of I don't know, make each 284 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: side a little bit more anxious to get a deal done. 285 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a guy who hits lefties. Yankees 286 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: need somebody who hits lefties. He hits well at home, 287 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: he plays good defense, he's versatile. But I mean, I'll 288 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 2: say I want him back, But also at the same point, 289 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 2: it's like, even if he do re sign him, you're 290 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: essentially almost back to where you were last year, right, 291 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: You're almost there, Like you're not You're not quite as 292 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: good still because you're down a couple of arms in 293 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: the bullpen. You're still down Rodin for probably April, you're 294 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: down probably Clark Smidt until September. I mean, these are 295 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: big arms, I think, And I mean, maybe you'll get 296 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 2: some improvement on the Domingiuses. You know, maybe I could 297 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: see Austin Wells, maybe stepping up having a better year 298 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: offensively Jazz. You know, if he doesn't get hurt, maybe 299 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: he goes forty forty. Ben Rice could hit forty home 300 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: runs this year, so maybe they're counting on some of that. 301 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: Maybe they do believe they've unlocked something with Trent Grisham. 302 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: But I mean, still I still feel weird that I'm 303 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: rooting for Bellinger and and and that that would basically 304 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: put us back, Like I would be excited about Bellinger, 305 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: but that would still just put us back to where 306 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: we were pretty much. 307 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I see your point, and that is that is 308 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 4: true just on paper. One of the drawbacks as well 309 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 4: from it is like you're gonna have the same situation 310 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: with the Martian where the fourth outfielder, and he's a 311 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 4: young player that needs a lot of reps, and they 312 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 4: were kind of willing to go with the growing pains 313 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 4: at first. And then obviously they didn't expect Grisham to 314 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 4: be what he was last year, which is kind of 315 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 4: like flawed to me that they didn't expect him to 316 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 4: be that last year and now all of a sudden, 317 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 4: you think he's going to be that player. I think 318 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 4: that's a whole ot ofther conversation. But you know, I 319 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 4: think that it's it's interesting that they're going to go 320 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 4: in that direction. And for me, the reported offer is 321 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 4: the thirty two a year for five years with like 322 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 4: an opt out or something like that. That'd be my 323 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 4: final offer. Take it or leave it. If he leaves it, okay, fine, 324 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 4: If he takes it, great, we'd love to have you back. 325 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 4: But I'm not going to six seven years for Cody Bellinger. 326 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 4: I don't care what Scott Bors says or what he 327 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: promised him. That is what the Yankees valume. As I 328 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 4: agree with them in that regard. I do not value 329 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: Cody Bellinger at a contract that's worth seven years over 330 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 4: two hundred million dollars. No, I'm good, but I think 331 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 4: that that is the drawback is if you sign him back, 332 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 4: then again, you're going to put Di Mingas in the 333 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 4: same situation. 334 00:14:59,080 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: You're gonna Spencer. 335 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 4: Joe is not going to get a shot. He's gonna 336 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 4: be thirty two years old in Triple A.

He is 398 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: somebody that I would literally trade pretty much anything for. 399 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: Last year seventeen and six two point seven zero ERA 400 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 2: more than a strike out parading. He was consistent all 401 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 2: year long. Look at August when the Yankees were really struggling, 402 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: he was four and oh with a zero point three 403 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: to two ERA. We could have used him there. He 404 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: was just really solid against lefties two or four average against. 405 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 2: Against right he's even better one eighty one average against. 406 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: So he's he's just an equal opportunity badass. At home, 407 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: he was nine in one with a one point seven 408 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: to seven away on the road three point seven to 409 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: one ERA eight and five record career three point five 410 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: to nine ERA seventy and forty two is there any 411 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: price you wouldn't go to for mister Freddy Peralta. 412 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a price I wouldn't go to.

Louis Heel's got like two more years of control. 419 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 4: I don't think you need to trade George Lombard for him, 420 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: I really don't. I think you could trade Louis Heel 421 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 4: with some other pieces and be able to get Freddy 422 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 4: Parolta back. 423 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: It's his walk here, he's got one year of control. 424 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe we do always see kind of that, like 425 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: when when big players are rumored in deals with the Yankees. 426 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: You know, the package that Cashman typically sends usually doesn't 427 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: include that top one or two guys, Like I can 428 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: think of a few times that they traded the top guy. 429 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 2: I remember, like James Kaprillion was like a major prospect. 430 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 2: They traded Jesus Montero was a top guy. Neither one 431 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: of those worked out. You know what was the guy 432 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 2: Blake Rutherford is that his name who went to the 433 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 2: White sox Y He and I remember he was like 434 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: the talk of the town and he never really became anything. 435 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: So hey, it is what it is.

Well, so Kyle Tucker goes to the Dodgers 505 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: and the Nets just signed Bobachett, so we're pretty screwed. 506 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: If the story about Bellinger is really true, that nothing's 507 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: going to get worked out, so it goes so anyway, 508 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: I want to suggest that when you find time, you 509 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: watched Team five of the nineteen seventy six American League 510 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: Championship Series. If you've never seen it, it's my greatest 511 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: moment as a Yankees fan. I was sixteen at the time. 512 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: And you know, while we're rightly celebrating, he did a 513 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: great episode on the nineteen ninety sixteensnniversary. It's the fiftieth 514 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: anniversary of a parent winning Yankee team that year and 515 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: winning it in dramatic fashion in that game. But also 516 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: you'll see a Yankee team in that game that played 517 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: very differently from the one today and knew how to 518 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: play the game. And I think you'll enjoy it a lot. 519 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: It might depress you more about what's going on today 520 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: in recent years, but it might cheer you up and 521 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: keep you from you know, de scrolling about the trade 522 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: news and also you know, by fashions in Minneapolis and 523 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 1: apparently now in my home state of New Jersey. Anyway, 524 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: take care of people for great work. Look forward to 525 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: your next episode. 526 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: But TK, my internet was kind of my sound was 527 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 2: kind of going in and out a lot through his call. 528 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: You want to take that one. 529 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 4: You know, it was a little bit too, But I 530 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 4: think all in all, it's you got. 531 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 3: He seemed you got to hold out hope, man. 532 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 4: All right, That's the only thing I could I could 533 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 4: share with him is just you wear fans and we 534 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 4: want we get you know, we get angry when certain 535 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 4: when certain things don't happen, you miss out on a player, 536 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 4: and it's frustrating and like, yeah, it is like I 537 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 4: live and diet with it too. Like I was joking 538 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 4: the other day, I sent Derek that picture of me 539 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 4: the last time the Yankees won. I'm like with the 540 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 4: World Series joving, I'm nine, I'm nine years old.

I liked how he 551 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: wore the team's mission on his back, right. He wore 552 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: number twenty seven. They won, and then he changed it 553 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: the next year to twenty eight. I missed that. I 554 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 2: love that. Here's another call. 555 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 5: This is. 556 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: From Brooklyn. 557 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 5: Hello, this is Lewis from Brooklyn. I'm clung because I'm 558 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 5: a diehard Yankees fan with yanked blood. Brian Cashman is sneaky. 559 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 5: He'll do something once in a while. He'll do some 560 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 5: big names like when you got recall or done stuff 561 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 5: like that. But he also always makes these these little 562 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 5: acquisitions that always end up benefiting now always it's like 563 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 5: he's a little snakehill. We'll take this time. He'll be patient. 564 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 5: He's added weathers now. You gotta remember, Cole is gonna 565 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 5: come back. Cole is just uh a mutant soldier, a 566 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 5: bionic soldier when it comes to his body, getting healthy 567 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 5: and doing the right thing. He's literally a poster boy 568 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 5: for pictures, a post a man whatever. 569 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 2: You know. 570 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 5: They'll just, you know, nothing butt props for But Yankees 571 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 5: is gonna be good Yankees. Brian Cashman is doing his 572 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 5: sneaky little things at time. And this person he's signing, 573 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 5: that person he's signed by he's signed at least let 574 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 5: me see, he's got at least three or four people 575 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 5: that have been signed minor league. 576 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: This is stuff like that. 577 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 5: But he's a little Brian Cashmer is the smartest snake 578 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 5: in the grass when it comes to making trade in 579 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 5: the long term. 580 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 2: I mean it's a take, it's an opinion. He does 581 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: make the sneaky moves. I think Weather's is actually gonna 582 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: be pretty good. I really like Weathers. I think he's 583 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: he's like Carlos rodon Light like just waiting to happen. 584 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: He's been hurt. Rodin also has hurt a lot early 585 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: in his career. But more it's the pitch micks, right, 586 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: He's thrown his fastball too much when you know he's 587 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: got a good change up, he can cut it. I 588 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: think if he switches up the pitch mix, he could 589 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 2: be pretty good. But I'm not like super excited about 590 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: the Paul Blackburns and you know these other like who 591 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 2: is this guy you got from the Mexican League, Like 592 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: the former Mexican MVP or whatever. That one was interesting 593 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 2: or if you heard about that. But but he does 594 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 2: make some sneaky moves. I'm a little bit like hesitant 595 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 2: to get excited about them though this year. 596 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I like the Ryan Weathers move a lot. 597 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 4: I think that's like a high ceiling kind of move. 598 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 4: I don't think he gave up a ton to get him. 599 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 4: His problem is the injuries, so he's perfect to be 600 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 4: a Yankee. But I don't think that that move is 601 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 4: gonna end up like biting us in the ass or 602 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 4: anything like that. I'll probably ended up working out pretty well, 603 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 4: and he can come out of the bullpen too. I'm 604 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 4: just the way I look at Brian Cashman is to 605 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 4: an extent, that's true that he makes that sneaky move, 606 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 4: that sort of go who is this guy? 607 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 3: And it sort of works out and that does happen. 608 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 3: I'll give him his flowers. 609 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 4: There and he can build a bullpen out of guys 610 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 4: that he picked up off the street. 611 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 3: And that's all well and good and stuff. 612 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: But to me, the biggest fault to Brian Cashman, and 613 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 4: it's it's not even a hal Steimer issue. 614 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 3: It's it's payroll allocation. 615 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 4: You know, the Jacoby El's Very contract was awful, and 616 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 4: getting this wasn't even expensive, But getting Joey Gallo that 617 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 4: was awful. You know, Aaron Hicks that ended up bad. 618 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 4: DJ LeMay you that didn't end up well. And I'm 619 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 4: not saying I didn't want to resign DJ LeMay You. 620 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 3: I did. 621 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 4: I was just upset at the number of years on 622 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 4: that contract and that it ended up being. 623 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 3: True, right. 624 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: I didn't think he would age that well. The Carlos 625 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 4: Rodin contract, I'm like, looking at the payroll right now, 626 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 4: that gives me a little bit of concern, But I'm 627 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 4: not extremely concerned, just because after this year there's only 628 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 4: two more years left. 629 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 3: On the contract. 630 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 4: The stant one I like wrestle with all the time. 631 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm like, yeah, it was a good acquisition. Sometimes 632 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 4: I'm like, no, no, it wasn't because it really handcuffed 633 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 4: the roster flexibility. But he's had awesome moments in the playoffs, 634 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 4: so he's kind of made up for it, right. The 635 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 4: Max Freed contract, I mean, he pitched well and I 636 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 4: love him and stuff. That contract's gonna be awful about 637 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 4: four years period. 638 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. That's one reason I'm not like super 639 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 2: hyped for this. He's had injury problems in the past. 640 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: Do we really expect him to be completely healthy again. 641 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. It worries me. It 642 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: worries me. Well, t K, thanks for stopping by. We 643 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: had some tech issues, but it looks like we got 644 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: him straightened out just in the nick of time, and 645 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: you know, maybe we'll get some moves here over the 646 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 2: next couple of weeks before spring training. I mean, we're 647 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: only a couple of weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting now, 648 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: so it's it started to get bleak out there. I 649 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be Bellinger and running it back. That 650 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: would be my guess. 651 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 3: That would be my guess as well. 652 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: But I'm just trying to think from Bellinger's perspective, Like, 653 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 4: he's a Boris guy, so if he has to wait 654 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 4: till spring training, like he will, but I know that 655 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 4: players want to know where they're going, where they're gonna live, 656 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 4: and who they're gonna play for. I don't think that 657 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 4: Bellinger is really comfortable waiting that long, but he's a 658 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 4: Boris guy, so he did. 659 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: With the Cubs. He stayed. He waited until February to sign. 660 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for watching.
