1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's hip the feel Welcome back everybody. In 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: this episode, Jack Curry has reported that the Yankees are 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: out on Nolan Aernato and Alex Bregman, plus Labor Torres 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: has signed with the Detroit Tigers, and why I've changed 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: my mind on Paul Goldsmith. I think you might be 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: a good pick up. Next, we'll talk about the rumor 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: mill the Yankees probably gonna move Marcus Stroman, a couple 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: of lefties possible for the bullpen, and we'll take a 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: look at the twenty twenty four versus the twenty twenty 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: five Yankees. There's been a lot of people saying is 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 1: this team better than the twenty twenty four team. We'll 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: kind of break it down and take a look at 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: how things are shaken out right now. All that and more. 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: This is pinstripe Territory wanted to cook. It's all. Hello, 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back. I hope that you had 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: a wonderful holiday, if you celebrate, I've been taking kind 17 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: of a few days off and barring any breaking news 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: before New Year's this will be the final planned and 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: scheduled podcast of the twenty twenty four year of the 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: calendar twenty twenty four, but we will be back shortly 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: after the New Year's holiday to dig into the upcoming season. 22 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: Hopefully have some fun interviews coming up. But we do 23 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: have some fairly recent news to get to since the 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: last time that I was online. According to Jack Curry, 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: the Yankees are out on Aeronato and Bragman. We'll talk 26 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: about that. If the reports are true, that means the 27 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: Yankees are going to have to get creative to fill 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: out their infield. They could go internal. Remember they already 29 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: traded Caleb Durbin, so they got to kind of shift 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: around second and third base. We'll go over the infield 31 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: options in just a minute. Also, I'll spent the last 32 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: couple of days looking at Paul goldschmidt highlights, not only 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: offensively but defensively. We'll talk about that. And we're at 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: a time period where not a lot of moves happen, 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, usually between Christmas and New Year's, but we're 36 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: seeing some movement. Clabor Torres signed today with the Tigers, 37 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: so that's interesting. It also sounds like Marcus Strowman could 38 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: get dealt. So we'll cover all of that stuff. Let's begin, though, 39 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: with the Yankees' third base plans, their infield plans, because 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: it sounds like they're out on Nolan Ernato and Alex Bregman. 41 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm not heartbroken about this, you know, we looked at 42 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: those guys as the two main candidates that made sense 43 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: because they'd be easy to get. They'd be an improvement 44 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: over basically whatever you would have there if you move 45 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: Jazz Chishm back to second base. Brian Hoak had reported 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: recently that the the Yankees were in on Bregman and 47 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: that the interest was real, but Jack Curry contradicted that statement. 48 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: He said that the Yankees were never in on bregmant. 49 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: So let's go and take a look at what's going 50 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: on in Yankee verse out on both. Per Jack Curry, 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: that sounds like it's gonna allow Jazz Chisholm to move 52 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: back to second base, and then the Yankees will fill 53 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: in at third base with either le Mayhew Parazza, possibly Cabrera. 54 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. I saw one commenter that mentioned 55 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: that Jazz Chisholm had some defensive issues when he was 56 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: with the Marlins. I looked into it, and I didn't 57 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: see it. Everything I read was that he was solid 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: as a second basement and that they moved him to 59 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: centerfield to kind of maximize his athleticism, take advantage of 60 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: his speed a little bit. And you know, at third base, 61 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: I thought he looked fine. I mean, he made some 62 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: outstanding plays over there. There were also some times that 63 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: you could tell that he was a novice. You know, 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: slow rollers are one of those tough plays that you 65 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: don't really have to make from anywhere other than third 66 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: and short, and he hadn't played the left side of 67 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: the in You don't really have to make the same 68 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: kind of throw on a slow roller from second. It's 69 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: kind of more of a shovel pass a lot of 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: times than it is like if somebody has a slow 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: roller a third or short, you got to gun it 72 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: across the infield. So, you know, I thought he did 73 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: find those plays kind of gave him some trouble. But 74 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what he'll look like going back 75 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: to second base, and that should give the Yankees a 76 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: really good team up the middle. Right. You talk about 77 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: what championship teams need and strength up the middle right. 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: Good catcher, we got that Austin Wells, one of the 79 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: stronger defensive catchers in the American League second base and 80 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: shortstop good defenders, and Chisholm and Vopie and then centerfield 81 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: now sounds like it's going to be Cody Bellinger because 82 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: when the Yankees signed Paul Goldschmidt, that means you got 83 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: to use Bellinger in the outfield. Makes sense to play 84 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: him in center field where he's a plus defender. So 85 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: right there, the Yankees have addressed something crucial. They have 86 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: gotten strong up the middle, which is which is great, 87 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: and they're strong at first now because Paul Goldschmidt is 88 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: a plus defender. We'll talk more about gold in a minute. 89 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: And if they go with Lemayhew or Paraza yet neither 90 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: one of those guys you can really count on much 91 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: offensively right now. Paraza is still has some upside, but 92 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: you would definitely be better, you know, on defense at 93 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: third base. Right So as a whole, the Yankees have 94 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: gotten better defensively. And we'll talk about the twenty twenty 95 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: four team versus the twenty twenty five team in just 96 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: a few minutes, but as of right now, it looks 97 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: like the Yankees are going towards a pitching and defensive 98 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: style of play this year, more so than the offense. 99 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: Jack Rax says, offense is gonna be terrible. Don't care 100 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: how good the defense is. Well, you should care, because 101 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: the defense is what cost us the World Series. And 102 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: we're gonna see if the Yankees can get back to 103 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: the World Series with an offense that isn't quite as 104 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: entertaining as Judge and Soto, but you know, maybe a 105 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: little different style of baseball. So I'm feeling okay about 106 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: it right now. We'll talk about it. Sounds like Nolan 107 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: Aernato also going to be Aaron not an option. Huh 108 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: eh h Aaron not not gonna get traded here. H 109 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: To their credit, the Yankees are trying to stay away 110 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: from getting too right handed, away from adding too many 111 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: aging right handed bats. They just added a thirty seven 112 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: year old right handed hitter who you know, kind of 113 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: had a down year last year in Paul gold Schmidt, 114 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: although he was better in the second half. I don't 115 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: know if they want to do that again, even though 116 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: they are friends. Gold Schmidt and Aeronato. They have a 117 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: lot of spots to fill, you know, multiple ways that 118 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: they can fill them, whether it's adding a third baseman, 119 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: adding a second baseman. They got to add some left 120 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: handed relievers. Now the time where Cashman can get a 121 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: little bit creative, hopefully and figure out a good another 122 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: way to skin the cat, as he likes to say it. 123 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: And they're saying that it could be a competition between 124 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: le Mayhew and Parazza at third base, and right now, 125 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: I kind of believe them because they owe DJ lem 126 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: Mayhew thirty million dollars, right, and Paraza's been kicking down 127 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: the door for the last couple of years. So let's 128 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: say you get to Memorial Day and DJ le Mayhew 129 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: is hitting two thirty eight with one home run, and 130 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: he's five for his last fifty with no power. As 131 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: we expect, he'll get the d he'll get the acts, 132 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: he'll get DFAD and that will open the door for 133 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: Paraza or someone else. Now, if there really is a 134 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: competition in spring training, I'm rooting for Paraza right. Whenever 135 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I talk about the subject, by the way, people always 136 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: suggest Oswaldo Cabrera, and I always tell those people the 137 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: Yankees view him as the perfect utility man, a switch 138 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: hitter who is versatile at multiple positions. Right, they don't 139 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: want to get rid of that versatility. You know, he 140 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: can hit against any pitcher because he's a switch hitter 141 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: and he can play almost anywhere on the field. That's 142 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: incredibly valuable, especially for the price that they pay him. 143 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a competition between Lo 144 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: Mayhew and Parazza unless they trade for somebody, which I 145 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: don't know is if that's gonna happen. The Rockies have 146 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: not shown any interest in dealing McMahon. The Angels are 147 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: trying to win. I don't see them giving up Renefro. 148 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,599 Speaker 1: You know, to me, this isn't a Caleb Durbin is 149 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: our starting second basement or Bubba Crosby is our starting 150 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: center fielder type situation. This is a situation where I 151 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: think the Yankees might actually try and give a competition 152 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: to Lo Mayhew and Paraza at third base. So look, 153 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: I I say this all the time. I'm not a journalist. 154 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: I am a fan. This is a podcast. I'm allowed 155 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: to take sides. If there's a competition in spring training, 156 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 1: pencil me in for team Parazza because I want the 157 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: athleteism back on this roster, And if Parazu wins the 158 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: job in spring training, that's a really good scenario for 159 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: the Yankees because that means he played well, and then 160 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: you've got a young and relatively inexpensive player on a 161 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: corner position who will give you a plus defense, a 162 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: plus plus arm, and maybe has a little bit of pop. 163 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: We saw that, we've seen him go deep in the 164 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: major leagues. I don't you know, he didn't hit for 165 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: a high average last year. We'll talk about that, but 166 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: I think that there's more in there, so you know, 167 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: we'll see how that works out. I want to talk 168 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: a little bit about Paul Goldschmidt. Paul Goldschmidt was somebody 169 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: who was not on my radar for the Yankees this offseason. 170 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: I didn't even put him on our big board when 171 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: we were going over the possibilities for you know, first 172 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: base and whatnot. But I really didn't think the Yankees 173 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: would look at somebody who's thirty seven years old and 174 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: think that's part of the solution because they didn't have 175 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: any prospects. I thought they would go out and they'd 176 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: get somebody who could play the position for five six years. 177 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: But I've been starting to look more into his numbers. 178 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: I've been watching more of the highlights, and I'm liking 179 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing from Paul Goldschmidt, he had a much 180 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: better second half than first half. I don't have the 181 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: numbers right in front of me, but he hit about 182 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: two thirty in the first half and about two seventy 183 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: in the second half, so much improved second half of 184 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: the season, which is not something you typically see from 185 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: older players. And when I was watching the highlight video 186 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: of his twenty twenty four season, first half of the highlights, 187 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: you saw the abysmal numbers on screen. You know they'd 188 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: had the guy's average updates in two eleven or something. 189 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: And then the commentary was supporting the fact that he 190 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: was struggling. Paul Goldschmid finally breaks through that type of stuff. 191 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: Maybe this is the beginning of Paul Goldschmidt getting back 192 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: on track, And it kind of tells you the story 193 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: of someone who really struggled to begin the season. But 194 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: apparently he made some tweaks to his swing, and not 195 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: only do the numbers get much better in the second half, 196 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: but the highlights are much sexier, higher exit velocity, much 197 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: cleaner contact, some absolute monster home runs. And because I 198 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: watched his offensive highlights, I was also suggested a video 199 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: of his defensive highlights and there's a three minute and 200 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: twenty second video from the account called Eduardo Baseball. That's 201 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: just you know, Paul Goldsman on defense and yeah, it 202 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: looks like he's still got it over there, four gold gloves. 203 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: You don't forget how to play defense overnight. He was 204 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: above average last year fifty fourth percentile, so the range 205 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: has probably gone down a little bit as he's age, 206 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: but he's still got He can still pick it, and 207 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: it look like he's still got a good vertical and 208 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: he's durable, which is something that the Yankees have not had. 209 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: Another thing I noticed when I was digging through the 210 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: numbers is that the dude posts. He just shows up. 211 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: He's played in one hundred and fifty plus games in 212 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: nine out of the last ten seasons, and the one 213 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: year he didn't it's because there were only sixty games 214 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: in the season. He played in fifty eight of them. 215 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: So the dude shows up to play. I did think 216 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: the Yankees would go after Nathaniel Lowe. That was my 217 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,599 Speaker 1: preferred choice. I also thought that Josh Naylor would be 218 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: an option. He had thirty one home runs this year 219 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: for the Guardians. Both of those guys got traded elsewhere 220 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: Low went to the Nationals for bag of chips, and 221 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: Naylor went to the d Backs for a slightly bigger 222 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: bag of chips. And I think the Yankees could have 223 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: beaten both of those honors or both of those offers, 224 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: to be honest, And my thought was that maybe these 225 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: teams didn't want to trade him within the America didn't 226 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: want to trade them within the American League, right The 227 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: Rangers didn't want to help the Yankees, who they could 228 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: potentially face in an ALCS. The Guardians didn't want to 229 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: face the Yankees in the ALCS again and have Naylor 230 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: beat them, So it makes sense that they would trade 231 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: those guys out of the American League. But one final thing, 232 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: and that is that gold Schmidt took less money to 233 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: play for the Yankees because he wanted a chance to 234 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: win four time Gold Glove winner, former MVP. At the 235 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: very least, he is going to give you someone who 236 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: can help the younger guys develop. Maybe he helps teach 237 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: Ben Rice how to play first base. Ben Rice is 238 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: another right handed throwing first basement. He's also gonna be 239 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: the backup catcher. I'd imagine he's gonna get some time 240 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: at first base and catcher this year to get his 241 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: left handed bat in the in the in the lineup, 242 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: that's where he's gonna be. And it gives you basically 243 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: two backups with one roster spot, something that we've seen 244 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: Brian Cashman likes, a big reason why they like Oswaldo Carbrera. 245 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: So you know, I think that having the tutelage from 246 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: gold Schmidt is gonna be important. I think it's gonna help, 247 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: and I'm growing on the move. So welcome to Paul Goldschmith. 248 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk a little bit about some moves 249 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: that Brian Cashman I think still has up his sleeve. 250 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: So let's first take a look at the rotation. As 251 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: you can see, we are six deep in the starting rotation, 252 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: Guy Garrett Cole at the top, Max Freed, Carlos Rodon, 253 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: Louis Heel, Clark Schmidt, and Marcus Stroman. Now he and 254 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: Schmidt both young, healthy. Schmid had the polled oblique but 255 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: no other real signs of injury, arm injury, anything like that. 256 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: Rodn was healthy last year. Freed maybe a little bit 257 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: of an injury risk, but near one of the contracts 258 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a big deal. And you hope that Garrett 259 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: Cole is healthy. He looked good coming down the stretch. 260 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: Stuff was obviously good in the playoffs. And then to 261 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: back those guys up, you've got some death. You got 262 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: Will Warren, who I still think is dookie. I think 263 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: they should move him if they get a chance. Just 264 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: hits a lot of bats. Chase Hampton, We've been hearing 265 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: about him for a couple of years. Brock Selvridge saw 266 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: him in spring last year. Lefty looks good, Ben Hess 267 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: and Bryce Cunningham to college draftees and then Henry Lelane, 268 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: twenty year old left handed pitcher, reminds me of Randy 269 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: Johnson a little bit, honestly from what I've seen, And 270 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: he could move quickly. So that means that they're going 271 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: to want to unload the eighteen million dollars that they're 272 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: owed to Marcus Stroman, or should I say that Marcus 273 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: Stroman is owed? So I think there is a move. 274 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: I think there's a move. Comment. 275 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: Uh. 276 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: We talk a lot about the Yankees' money and how 277 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: they can sometimes flex their financial might. Well, here is 278 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: a place where you can flex your financial might in 279 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: the margins a little bit. You could essentially use Stroman 280 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: and pay a little bit of his salary right to 281 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: give a team a reliable starter who's gonna get He 282 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: gave you twenty nine starts last year. Wait, let me 283 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: pull up his stats. He was uh ten and nine 284 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: in thirty thirty games, twenty nine starts with a four 285 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: point three to one ERA, one hundred and fifty four innings. 286 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty innings is valuable. Right, he makes 287 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars. If the Yankees say, you know what, 288 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna eat five six million dollars of that, which 289 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: is a lot, you've got a chance to unload him. 290 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: And if a team sees value in adding some pitching 291 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: at a reasonable cost, they might be able to give 292 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: you a better prospect. And seeing how the Yankees don't 293 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: need another starting pitcher on the rotation, they're trying to 294 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: clear some spots on the roster so that they could 295 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: sign some left handed pitching like Tim Hill, like Andrew Schaffin. 296 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: You know, maybe you can get a lottery pick for 297 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: our lottery pick, lottery ticket for him. You know somebody 298 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: who who Matt Blake has seen highlights of and look 299 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: at the metrics on, and who's been wanting to get 300 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: his hands on for a while, somebody in Double A 301 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: maybe that you can maybe turn into another Louis Heal 302 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: or another Jonathan Lowisega that type of arm. I think 303 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: that's what the Stroman trade is going to be about. 304 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: Don't look for him to bring back anything for the 305 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: major league roster. I think it's gonna be a salary dump. 306 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: And the more money that the Yankees are willing to 307 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: include in that salary dump, the more of a prospect 308 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: they will get in return. Now you see Tim Hill 309 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: possibly coming back three and oh two point oh five 310 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: era with the Yankees, I think it's a slam dunk. 311 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: He has got to come back right now. The Yankees 312 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: have zero lefties in the ball pen. You ideally want two, 313 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: and that's why they're also interested in Andrew Schaffin, left 314 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: handed pitcher, thirty four years old, four and three, three 315 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: point five to one. He's a journeyman. He's been bouncing 316 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: around for the last few years. Uh but swing and 317 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: miss guy. Seventy strikeouts in fifty six and thirty innings. 318 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: Whip is a little high. But if you use against lefties, 319 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: he's deadly, and you know that will give the Yankees 320 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: a lot more swing and miss than they had last 321 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: year in the bullpen. So that's where we stand as 322 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: far as the rumors go.

And to recap, they've basically 335 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: replaced Nester Cortez and Clay Holmes with Max Fried and 336 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: Devin Williams. And they've replaced Juan Soto, Labor Torres, Alex Rodugo, 337 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: and Anthony Rizzo with Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt and as 338 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: of right now, two rookies Jason Dominguez and probably Oswald 339 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: Perrazza which brings me to my next topic. And if 340 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: you follow me on X you know that I've been 341 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: watching the Mission Impossible movies. So this is a little 342 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: bit inspired by this, by that these are some guys 343 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: that we need to get better. Dimingez has got to 344 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: play defense, we know that, of course, but we need 345 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: some other guys to take big steps forward. And yes, 346 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: we could get better than we were in twenty twenty 347 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: four with the right addition. So this segment mission improvement, 348 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: you choose to accept it, all right, So right now 349 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: I've got four guys on the screen that I think 350 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: need to improve in a big way for the Yankees 351 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 1: to get better. Now. Anthony Volpi had an improved season 352 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: last year. He hit less home runs, but he hit 353 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: for a higher average. He went from two pho nine 354 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: to two forty three. The on base percentage was still 355 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: under three hundred, but from April through about mid May 356 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: he was unstoppable. And then he fell off. He got 357 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: away from that game that he was playing early in 358 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: the game in the year, his swing got a little 359 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: bit long. He needs to develop a little bit more consistency, 360 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: stretch out those hot streaks and really shorten those cold streaks. Right, 361 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: if he hits two sixty five this year, I think 362 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: that's a success. That would be another twenty point improvement, 363 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: twenty two points. I want to see that on base 364 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: percentage get up to three thirty three, so about a 365 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 1: forty point improvement there. I want a few more bombs. 366 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: You know, he hit twenty one his first year, so 367 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: the powers in there twelve is okay. I'd like about 368 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: eighteen home runs. I'll take, you know, split the difference, right, 369 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: hit a few more bombs, but also hit for a 370 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: higher average, and the ops I want to go up 371 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: by about sixty points. Now. He should get better just 372 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: from getting stronger, just from being around the league a 373 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: little bit more, getting closer to his prime. I could 374 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: see him beating these numbers. I could see him hitting 375 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: two eighty two ninety with twenty five home runs. I 376 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: really could. But right now, we'll take a modest improvement 377 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: from Anthony Volpi Austin Wells. I want the same kind 378 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: of improvement that Volpi had from year one to year 379 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,239 Speaker 1: two for Wells to have from year one to year two. 380 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: I want that average going up to a round two 381 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: fifty five, so a big jump there. On base percentage 382 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: up a little bit more. I'm okay with him selling 383 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: out for a little bit more power, because we need 384 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: to replace some of those home runs that we lost 385 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: when Jan Soto took his act across town. I'm hoping 386 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: for twenty home runs out of Austin Wells next year, 387 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: which would be an improvement of seven and a seven 388 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: fifty ops, so about a thirty two point increase in 389 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: ops and more playing time. I think all of that 390 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: is well within reason. Now here's the big one, Jason Domingez. 391 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: I need to take a big step forward. I need 392 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: him to show us why he is the Martian. Right. 393 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: You don't get a nickname like the Martian and have 394 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: your entire international pool budget spent on you if you 395 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: don't have some special talent. We've seen the exit velocity, 396 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: we saw what he did when he first came up. 397 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: We've seen what he's done in spring training a couple 398 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: of times. The man is legit in terms of skills. 399 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 1: Now it's just got to translate. I don't think he 400 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: was putting in a great position when he came up 401 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: last year. He struggled. He was trying to take somebody's 402 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: job who was still on the team. This year, a 403 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: lot of that pressure is off. He's a twenty what 404 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna be twenty two. He's got all the talent 405 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: in the world. It's all right in front of him. 406 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: I should have had the sound effect for that ready, 407 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: it's all right in front of us. He's two six. 408 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: And let's take a look at his minor league numbers. First, 409 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, his minor league numbers were great. 410 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: Three thirteen average, three seventy six on base percentage, So 411 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: he takes pitches, eleven home runs, eight eighty ops. We 412 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: know he has lots of power. We've seen it in 413 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: the major leagues. He got called up, didn't do much 414 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: one seventy nine average, but look at that on base 415 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: percentage three thirteen. He still took his walks. He still 416 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: has patient at bats. That's why I would consider him 417 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: as a potential leadoff guy if he has a good 418 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: spring training. Six seventeen ops in the Major yars last year. 419 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: I want him to hit two sixty this year with 420 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: a three point forty on base percentage and twenty five 421 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: home runs. We needed this guy to be a Rookie 422 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: of the Year candidate. Seven to sixty ops. I know 423 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: those are kind of astronomical numbers. He's paid like a phenom. 424 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: He was already paid like a phenom. He's treated like 425 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: a phenom. He's shown all the signs when he first 426 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: got called up before the elbow injury of being a phenom. 427 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: He learned English. Roops, I just shrunk one of my overlays. 428 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: Let me just fix that real quick. He learned English 429 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: really quickly. He shows all the signs of learning fast, 430 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: of having a high baseball IQ. Now defensively, there's no 431 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: question he struggled. There was a play he hesitated on 432 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: his first call up or his first call up this year, 433 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: to throw out a runner at home in the little 434 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: league game. That was a sign. And then he struggled 435 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: with a couple of fly balls triple deck syndrome. I 436 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: think didn't even get used in the playoffs. I think 437 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: his confidence was down a little bit. But I really 438 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: think that he's got a chance to be special. So 439 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: let's hope he bounces back and then Oswald Pirazza if 440 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: he plays, if he is indeed the third baseman, all 441 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: you gotta do is basically put up average league average 442 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: numbers two fifty average, three twenty on base percentage fifteen 443 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: home runs, seven to fifteen ops, and his glove will 444 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: make him a positive war player. So that's where we're 445 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: at in terms of players who need to get better 446 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: this offseason headed into next year. We got a quick 447 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: super chat here from Swin who says three tier moves 448 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: make us better than last year. Worst good move signed 449 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: Paul DeJong, risky move upside Nolan Gormant, elite move trade 450 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: for Luis Garcia Junior. I don't think the Yanks is 451 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: gonna make any of those moves. I appreciate the super chat. 452 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: I mean, as possible Paul DeJong, I don't know. I 453 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: don't know if I think he's righty right. I think they, 454 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: if possible, they would like to get a left handed bat. 455 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 1: And I think that, as Frank Marzillas says here, they 456 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: have a chance to get even better with the right tweaks. 457 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and talk a little bit. Let's 458 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: finish off this portion of the podcast with a discussion 459 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four versus twenty twenty five. I get 460 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: this question all the time. Are the Yankees better in 461 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five versus twenty twenty four? And I want 462 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: to answer this question carefully, because I think it's a 463 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: very difficult question. I think it's some ways were better. 464 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,239 Speaker 1: I think in some ways we are, and I think 465 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: in some ways we're not. I think not having Juan 466 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: Soto definitely makes the lineup less dangerous for sure, and 467 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: I think that it makes it less entertaining. But on 468 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: the depth chart you can see how things are lining 469 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: up right now, I think our pitching is in much 470 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: better shape on paper. I mean, you have to account 471 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: for possible injuries too. We lost Garrett Cole for half 472 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: a season. We lost Jonathan the Wise again for the 473 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: whole season. I have a little tradition with my friend 474 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: Rob every year on New Year's Eve, which is coming up, 475 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: one of us will say to the other, Happy New Year, 476 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: good luck. We're not all gonna make it. And that's true, 477 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: and I feel like it's true of the pitching staff 478 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: every year too. They're not all gonna stay healthy. You 479 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: have to have the right mix of high quality starting 480 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: pitchers of high end relief pitchers throughout the season, and 481 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: then when you make the playoffs, you gotta have the 482 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: right mix healthy. You can deal with some injuries. You're 483 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: gonna have some injuries. The question is can you stay 484 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: mostly healthy going into the playoffs. And that's a big 485 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: reason why the Yankees made the World Series this year. 486 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: They're pitching with solid Devin Williams instead of Clay Holmes. 487 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: Is five more wins minimum? Maybe seven or eight. I'm 488 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: not kidding. I know that sounds stupid. It's that dramatic. 489 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: Clay Holmes was that bad in tight situations. One of 490 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: the position players last year that I think really needs 491 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: to step up is Jazz Chisselm. You know, he came 492 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: over to the Yankees, got off to a hot start. 493 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: He took a step back, but he's a left handed 494 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: bat that the Yankees are gonna be counting on. He's 495 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: got to be able to hit against lefties. He's got 496 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: to play second base well, he's got to be heads up. 497 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be interesting to have two catchers 498 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: right now, and right now I think I have Rice 499 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: as the backup catcher and backup first baseman and Wells 500 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: as your primary catcher. I think it's gonna be interesting 501 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: to have two left handed catchers because you can't you 502 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: can't platoon. You're gonna have to have these guys facing lefties, 503 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: which is something they didn't like to do last year 504 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: if they could avoid it. John Carlos Stanton is going 505 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: to be interesting next year. John Carlos Stanton just turned 506 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: thirty five in November, absolutely dominant in the postseason, twenty 507 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: seven home runs during the regular season, two thirty three average, 508 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: four hundred and seventeen at bats. I would sign up 509 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: for all those numbers again right now, as long as 510 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: he's healthy in the playoffs, because I trust he's gonna 511 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: come through. The man is oblivious to pressure. Jazz Chisholm, 512 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: like I said, breakout candidate last year, twenty four home runs. 513 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 1: This year, I want thirty and I want a little 514 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: more contact. Volpi like I said, I think he'll take 515 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: a step up. He needs to. Piaza right now is 516 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: my everyday third baseman. Can't be worse than Josh Donaldson. 517 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: Full stop Judge is judge. Just need him to show 518 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: up in October. One of these years. He'll probably hit 519 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: fifty plus home runs and be an MVP candidate again 520 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: if he's healthy. Bellinger, I think could be closer to 521 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three version of Bellinger than he was 522 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Once again playing for a contract, Dimingez. 523 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,239 Speaker 1: We talked about a lot of upside. The bench is 524 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: a little too thin for my liking, so maybe they 525 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: can make some improvements there. Grisham though, solid outfielder. Maybe 526 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: he can work with Domingees. That's one of those into 527 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: margins places where it works to your advantage. DJ Lemayhew, 528 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: like I said, if he wins the job, which I 529 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: think he has the leg up right now because he's 530 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: a veteran and he's paid, and he's got, you know, 531 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: a history of doing big things for the Yankees, if 532 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: he wins the job and struggles, I think he gets dfaid. Otherwise, 533 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: if he doesn't win the job, I could see him 534 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: dfaid either way, and the Yankees could make an upgrade 535 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: on the bench. So are they better, It's really hard 536 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: to say. They're built more around pitching and defense at 537 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: this point. They've got a solid mix of youth and veterans. 538 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: They've got, you know, a couple of young lefties that 539 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: could do damage. Rice Wells. It would be great if 540 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: we had a prime Don Mattingly, but we just don't 541 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: have that. And since it costs about seven hundred and 542 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: sixty million to buy one, you know, it's not easy 543 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: to get one. Kyle Tucker also off the board, but 544 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: free agent next year. I think this could work. I 545 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: think given the lack of improvements in the American League 546 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: in general, I think the Yankees still have a good shot. 547 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox are stronger. The Oriols are weaker. 548 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: They lost Corbyn burn Well, they haven't lost him yet, 549 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: but they're gonna lose him. They're gonna lose Santange. The 550 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: Rays and Blue Jays are no threat in my opinion. 551 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 1: The Al Central is beatable. The Mariners still have no offense. 552 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: The Ashos are gonna lose two of their best hitters 553 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: in Bragman and Kyle Tucker. They're not gonna be the 554 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: same right now. I think the Yankees, says, have every 555 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: bit the chance to get to the World Series that 556 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: they had last year. But the Dodgers, Padres Phillies would 557 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: all be formidable matchups. I don't think the Mets are 558 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: there yet, but they're knocking on the door. All right, 559 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab some water. Let's get to some voicemails. 560 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: All right. Let's start with a first call here on 561 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki. 562 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 3: Do you think the Yankees have a chance to sign 563 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: Roki Sazaki. 564 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they have a chance if he was a 565 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: Massi Hero Tanaka fan or a Jadeki Matt Suie fan 566 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: and wants to follow in their footsteps. Sure, but I've 567 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: also heard that he prefers to play in a medium 568 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: media market, which the Yankees obviously do not have. And 569 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: then there's also chatter around baseball that's kind of a 570 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: FATA complete that he signs with the Dodgers. Now be 571 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens if Roki does sign with 572 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: the Yankees. One thing I would consider, and yeah, he 573 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: might not want to do this, and Roki might not 574 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: want to do this. What about Roki Sazaki in the bullpen? 575 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: He can impact a lot more games, not as much 576 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: stress on his arm. He's never thrown more than one 577 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: hundred and forty innings. You know, if he becomes a 578 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: guy who throws eighty innings out of the bullpen, you 579 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: can still get paid very handsomely, and you can work 580 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: your way up to become a starter. Referee says, can 581 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: we trade Carlos Rodan? He sucks? Yankes fain, Come on, 582 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: appreciate the super chat. I don't see Carlos Rodan getting 583 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: traded although if you sign Roki Sazaki, you're gonna have 584 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: to make room in the rotation. That could be a 585 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: direction they go. Although I believe he's got a full 586 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: note trade cause I'll have to double check on that. 587 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: W T two says, I'm very curious about Yoan Moncata 588 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: at third base. He's a switch hitter, excellent third baseman, 589 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: and absolutely destroys Houston, which is our biggest competition in 590 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: the AL along with Baltimore. I've heard off the record 591 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: from someone who knows Mancata that he hates baseball, that 592 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: he does not like baseball period, full stop, which means 593 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: I don't want him on my team. I do not 594 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: want him on my team. Another call here. 595 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 3: And this is Edson booking. Just have your opinion on this. 596 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 3: If there's a possibility to obtain Carlos, Correa would have 597 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 3: trade maybe for. 598 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 4: Probably Strowman and Jones and maybe another minor leaguer possibly, 599 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 4: uh maybe Parazza or Pereira one of those two total 600 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 4: three players. Would that be enough for Carlos career trade? 601 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 4: If they want to one load between one to one 602 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 4: load salary? 603 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 3: What do you think? Thanks, sir, big fan. 604 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: So I've seen some chatter about Carlos Carea. We've talked 605 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: about it a few times. He's had the ankle injury, 606 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: obviously missed some time last year, only had three hundred 607 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: and sixty seven played appearances. Obviously, when he's on the field, 608 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: he's still very good. I don't think that the Yankees 609 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: would give up nearly the package that you suggested. I 610 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: don't think it would be anywhere near that expense. I mean, 611 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: we saw what Cody Bellinger, you know, cost. It was 612 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: just Cody right. When you're taking on a lot of money, 613 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: you don't have to give up big prospects. And I 614 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: don't expect that if the Yankees did go after Carlos 615 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: career that it would be anywhere near that expensive. But 616 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: I still I don't think they'll go after him. 617 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: Hey, what's going on, Derek? I just wanted to get 618 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 2: your take on what you think is going on with 619 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 2: the Stroman situation. If you think the Yankees are going 620 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: to be able to move on from him. Obviously, it 621 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 2: seems that if they could have earlier, they probably would 622 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: have jumped on it. I'm assuming at this point they 623 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 2: would probably be trying to kind of hope things boost 624 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: up in spring training and see what happens with an 625 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 2: obvious impending injury, which happens all around the league every year, 626 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: and hopefully try to deal him to a desperate team 627 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: at that point. I just wanted to know if you 628 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 2: kind of think that's where they're headed, because the team 629 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 2: pretty obvious that they're going to try to dump that salary, 630 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 2: or at least a majority of it, and if they're 631 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 2: not able to, doesn't seem like many more moves will 632 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 2: be able to happen following that. Just doesn't seem like 633 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 2: they're too thrilled with going over the Coen tax mark. 634 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 2: That just might take one to get your opinion, all. 635 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:26,439 Speaker 1: Right, man, appreciate the call, Brian, So number one, Yes, 636 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: it would make sense to hang on to him and 637 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: trade him if a spot opens up on another team, 638 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: or if you have an injury, you can have him 639 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,959 Speaker 1: fill in. You know, depth is always good, but depth 640 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: at eighteen million dollars is tough. I think they'll move 641 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: him before then. I think they'll move him this month 642 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: or next month, just to free up some salary, give 643 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: themselves some more flexibility. And I do think that they 644 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: might have to eat some of the money in order 645 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: to get a little bit better prospect return. I think 646 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: they'll have a salary dump much in the way that 647 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, Cody Bellinger was just salary dumped on the Yankees. 648 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: But that's where we're at. I wanted to wish everybody 649 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 1: a happy New Year's you know, thank everybody for joining 650 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: all season long.
