hey everybody what is going on pizza minetty here for ny news guys this is not going to be and joseph peta sleeping like cash nah baby i'm wide awake we don't even know that man is alive right now um this is gonna be more of a of a recap video that i that i um wanted to make a little earlier and i figure um now let me just go ahead and and make that now and then we're gonna talk about a few different things and whatnot and go from there um so really if you guys don't mind again as i always like to ask you guys please go ahead and share this out i greatly appreciate it so go do that for me if you don't mind and yeah we will go from there so i'll give everybody a few minutes i know i jumped on a little late but i wanted to actually we had to take the uh the dogs out first doing some detox tea today a little bit of detox tea i'm a tea fanatic i'm a t fanatic fan i always got some um some tea going on but i'll give everybody a little bit of time to join folks and then we'll jump in on a little recap tonight and uh talk a little bit about um i think the big one of the big moves of the day that affect the yankees and and maybe what where they could go from here um and and you know we'll chat about that and then take some questions and you know all that fun but it's not gonna be a really long it's not going to be one of the really long chats i don't think unless you know i go off on a tirade which i'm very capable of doing all the time but uh we will go from there so let's um yeah let's get right into it guys again um basically just looking at a recap first so the first big move um of the day today of course again we know everything about max shares we know robbie ray i already talked about that i already covered those so up until the corey seeger signing i talked about everything a little earlier um that was of course the robbie ray deal which i really hate um that hal steinberg didn't go there but again it's it's it's falls in line to what i was told all off season but again i'm not going to come on here to scream that was earlier uh my voice needs a little rest so i can do this again tomorrow because i'm pretty sure we're going to have more to talk about tomorrow but the texas rangers again come out that have been been aggressive um they signed courtesy to a 10-year deal 325 million dollars and gets a 5 million signing bonus they also signed marcus simeon as you guys know so they really have reworked that infield um in a new way and and uh the lone star state is very very happy tonight so they are they're very excited and um it's it's where they are right now so the texas rangers do something you know you had a lot of guys like jeff passing and buster olney and and joel sherman who all said uh you know it's just destiny that uh seeger is gonna be a yankee and you know unfortunately they don't get to get called frauds and stuff like that like like other people do who bust their ass to try to get something out there um but you know hey it is what it is you get that blue check mark you get hired and you know it is what it is you could you could do whatever the hell you want um but corey seeger ends up going to the rangers not really knowing what interest he had i think the weirdest thing is and this was earlier that we come to find out the yankees didn't even offer robbie ray anything that goes to show me that they're either targeting one specific free agent or they're just not gonna spend big and free agency at all which is also what i've been told and i keep saying i refuse to believe it just because i want the yankees to spend some money it comes down to that i mean i don't mind saying i'll come on here a meeting like my people were wrong the yankees spent i'm happy you know that's not a that's not a loss for me that's not a loss for my people you know it's just information they're giving me so i really hope that that is what happens um so you know he was another option simeon was an option we knew all that those guys were options for the yankees at shortstop and it doesn't work out uh marcus simeon is a ranger and also corey seeger's a ranger so you know it is what it is uh well we'll move on from that one the big one that i want to talk about that i actually think does affect the yankees is what you guys were probably automatically expecting me to talk about which is the idea that gary sanchez has a good shot at being a catcher again in 2022 and i tell you what guys this is not a team that is serious about winning i mean that's all there is to it you know you you don't have much defense anymore of gary sanchez you just don't have much defense anymore about gary sanchez you just don't you know whether it's early on when i reported and everybody wanted to rip my throat out and kill me and came at me in every way you could think of that gary sanchez was out of shape he came to king came to camp out of shape joe girardi was very upset yankees leadership was very upset and the down and the downfall started a little bit there then he got in good shape then gary sanchez worked at it and he looked like he was getting in better shape and last year he was in good shape and already there's pictures of the offseason him working on his balance and things like that um it's it's it's very very odd um because he he has gotten better in that sense he he's gotten in better shape and he has there's no denying there's hard work there nobody denies that people that just say fat and lazy that's a bad argument he's not he's not he's not that's just something to look to pick on gary about he's not fat and lazy gary sanchez works gary sanchez is not a catcher i have said this about gary sanchez for a long time gary sanchez needs a change of scenery and he desperately needs a dh spot or a dhl national league where he can kind of flip-flop in that role whether he catches a few games but he gets at the h and it's more about his offense i believe gary sanchez is being limited because he plays a position doesn't like again you can go back to i think it was 2015 2015 or 2016. there's a scouting report on mlb.com that the scout literally says in there that gary sanchez may not have the heart to stay at catcher if he really loves that position it's really hard you really got to work at that position and stay there for a long time and you do continuously get better it beats you up a lot gary has not handled that position well going from the fact that nobody on the staff at the end of the year even wanted to catch him corey kluber did it jordan montgomery at the end started going to higashiyoka and we know already about garrett cole whether they get to the postseason if it's a wild card game or game one of a big game or a game seven or game five gary sanchez isn't catching he's not catching so what is it about gary sanchez that the yankees want to keep you know everybody brings the walls to bed that that's not it anymore the yankees know at this point and if the yankees don't know they're they're which is probably true they have gone so far into living in the world of analytics that the idea that he's a decent offensive pro catcher one of the better ones in baseball they're gonna keep him there and defense doesn't mean jack and their ideas well we have a backup catcher for a reason gary's gonna pop a homer every now and then so that's good enough can't do that if the yankees are a serious club there's time it's not like they're saying gary's the catcher that's it there is time and i'll even tell you some names but there is time to move on from gary sanchez i feel you have to no matter what happens you gotta move on from it and i saw uh uh um i saw something here um from a guy on here i wanna i wanna talk about this because it's hilarious because i get this a lot this is from alberto honest question pete did gary sanchez hurt you personally don't get me wrong i like you and love everything n1 news does i want to move on from sanchez too but man it looks like you hate him it looks like i hate him because i want him to move on from the team i like frau i want i hate him because i'm saying the yankees need to move on from gary sanchez where where do you get hate from that and on top of that i'm gonna just keep it real with you because that's what we do here yankee fans got every right to seriously dislike gary sanchez simple as that you think it's cool for a guy to get a pass ball and he rolls to the ball he tiptoes to the ball to go get it guys halfway down first base you think it's okay for a guy to ground that and not even run you think it's okay for a guy to get a ball about 40 feet away from a player a great throw to home plate and move away from home plate and let the guy score you think it's okay for big playoff games in october or postseason type games in october a guy hits a pop-up a pop-up and gary sanchez doesn't even touch the ball with his glove i don't dislike gary sanchez at all i'm actually looking to help gary sanchez i need him to move on to go to another club there you go bad dog hates him i personally don't hate the guy i hate him as a baseball player for the yankees 100 but you but you're saying has he done something personally to me yeah you know what he gave me audrey all season is that enough so so you are trying to create something that makes no sense you know maybe fit you you know that's got to be a t-shirt at some point fit you got to be a t-shirt no alberto i love you fam thank you for the question um but moving on from that so this is the big news today everybody on this channel knows how much i really like jacob stallings i thought he would be a terrific fit for the yankees because if you're gonna give up offense you really need to pick up a huge amount of defensive production stallings is arguably the best defensive catcher major league baseball now he's on his way to the miami marlins and guys before i go into that let me give you guys a little heads up let me go back let me tell you the names because i actually broke this down and i actually did the did the homework on this to tell you what that type of deal would have actually been so the pirates get from the miami from the miami marlins zach thompson who is a starting pitcher at the major league level kyle nicholas who is a low a pitcher and also connor scott who i believe is an outfielder in low a okay so i'm gonna give you a better offer immediately from the new york yankees and maybe there's a little bit of control issues here but the other players are better from my understanding of what i'm looking at so when you look at this and you say okay well why did the yankees go after this guy what would the deal look like here's what the deal would have looked like on the yankee side compared to what the miami marlins gave the pirates domingo hermann matt sawyer and ryder green that would have been a better package is there anybody in this room right now who would not have given that up for jacob stallings who also is owed less money than gary sanchez and we know the yankees are trying to do everything they can to save money what do you guys think i'll say it again domingo harmon matt sawyer who is in loie or high a i believe and ryder green who is enable that's what it would have took on the yankee side and if you're just comparing what the deals would have been that's what the deals would have been again domingo hermann matt sawyer and ryder green is a very very comparable if not better deal from pittsburgh to miami marlins on the yankee side so looking at that and thinking of that you have you had a chance to get jacob stallings we knew he'd probably be traded it just made sense but there's still hope out there if the yankees want to make a change you have two free agent catchers who i know again everybody's gonna say i don't know i don't know i don't know because they're offense guys forget offense at the catching position forget offense at the catching position for the time being the yankees got guys in that line that needed driving runs they need a healthy dj le mayo which hopefully they're getting and they just need to do things better they need some athletes in the lineup estevan floriel needs to be in his lineup estevan floria at least needs to be on the bench oswald cabrera should potentially get a shot so if you look at all that if you look at all that roberto perez john gomes roberto perez is also one of the best defensive catchers in baseball yeah he's had a rough year he had a rough 2020 all so i get it before that 2019 20 plus homer's 230 average he's a powerful guy everybody knows he's gonna hit homers thinking he was injured also last year so i don't know how much they had an effect in it but roberto perez is a guy homers roberto perez is a guy who again forget the homer so fit me for saying home run he plays defense guys catch him guys want to throw to him john gomez another guy not as good defensively as roberto perez's but i'm down for it the yankees have to move on from gary sanchez it's as simple as that you can't go through another year with this you just can't do it you just can't do it jonathan my fam thank you so much man that's exactly what i'm here to do i'm here to work hard for you guys uh this is the future this is the future for this is the future for me and my team this is it right here so working hard for you guys what it's all about you know wilson contreras not that good defensively comparable to gary comparable to gary but maybe change of sceneries work good for everybody you know you got your other guys out there carson kelly uh you know that they're looking at in arizona he could be very available because dalton varshall is likely gonna be their new catcher so maybe you got carson kelly who could be available who i love carson kelly i love carson kelly sanchez gary gotta go at this point gary gotta go at this point and um guys you know i i've had many people dm me too and ask me you know um what are the yankees gonna do you know are they gonna make a big move look i'm holding out hope in the sense of there's still things that can be done if the yankees take the route more and they go okay well you know the reason why we didn't jump into all these all these free agent signings because yeah you know what we're not spending the money nothing cash we could do about that i'm not sticking up for cash man you guys know i've went at brian cashman a lot i'm not sticking up for brian cashman but if brian cashman like i reported is being told cashy money's cut if he's being told that brian cash we can't do jack and i must think you guys know me you guys don't get me wrong here you guys know fam you know me if you've watched me you know i tore into all of them so this is not me being cute this is not me being cute this is me just being honest if brian cashman is told look no there ain't nothing to spend he talked about the latitude but you know latitude my ass ladder dude is what it really was ain't no latitude they don't have money then they're not spending it and again look i will be utterly shocked let me give you guys my opinion ahead of time the yankees came out of nowhere assigned carlos correa i'll be at my i'll be at my mind shocked but again but again it's not enough it's not enough it's not enough it's not enough it's not enough carlos correa is not enough himself corey is not enough himself jim duggan my greatest critic always looking to criticize pete says i say fam a lot well fam sorry fam but fam it's my channel fam and it's gonna be my channel fam and ny news tv fam is to be brilliant because you also got mad about me talking so much about january but jim duncan i always see you up in here fam and i love that you're up in here fam and it's a wonderful thing for you fam i love you being in here fam come on stop it um but no if the yankees went out there blew it up all of a sudden uh whoever reports carlos correa new york yankee 10 years blah blah blah guys i'm going to come on here i'ma say cool it's a good start but it's not enough and it's it's not enough so you heard me already so don't be shocked if it ever happens here's what i would love to see and let me get to you guys question let me get to you guys questions and then i'll talk about this other stuff uh cha boy says pirates no longer have a catcher on their roster package gary and others for reynolds they ain't gonna they ain't gonna want it for rentals though fam you know as much as um uh nah gary ain't going to pittsburgh joseph wears peaks joseph fam i tell you i love it i love it jonathan ny1 news team are the realest ones no doubt about it uh no no no doubt about it we are definitely the realest ones kicking it with roy what's going on fam honestly what are we doing bro at this point kill me hey man it's uh nobody nobody gonna kill you fam we love you here um but nah it's um it's a big difference man it's it's it's weird right now it's weird right now put it that way gary for reynolds who says no let me if if they offered gary for reynolds ben sharington should hit cashman over the hell with a phone guy stop it gary he's like daniel said cashman wouldn't do it oh man that is hilarious li yankee king says if money is getting uh cut then why not try to trade your big money guys like chapman stan oh god li it's not that easy fam gallo yeah you could trade tion you're you're probably not gonna trade he's injured right now hicks is gonna be hard to trade hicks is gonna be hard to trade chapman i agree with you on that one i think chapman should have definitely been moved stanton's not gonna be traded lemayo is not going to be traded you got to keep it real harry says serious question how many 30 mil contracts do you need on this team to make you happy actually i'm not for all the big contracts i'm not it's the way your money is spent it's the way your money is spent that it that that is key the the key is how your money is being spent it's not about it's not about signing the biggest guys it's about how you're spending that guys look next year alone the yankees got two two bullpen arms that are making over 30 plus million combined that's nuts that is not even i'm not even counting green in that but with green you're pushing 35 plus million for three guys in a bullpen that's not the way you run a team that is not the way you run a team the yankees don't it's not about the big contract it's about how it is spent and the yankees have done a poor job on that you're paying a roll this chapman 18 million dollars next year you're paying britain 14 million you're paying chad green seven plus million that's a lot of money for three bullpen arms when you got stephen ridings ron monaco monaki whatever his name is um uh who else are all uh albert abreu still down there louise heel could potentially go to the pen there's a lot of guys there that could do that you shouldn't be spending all that money on a bullpen you shouldn't be spending all the money like that on the bullpen the moves the yankees should be looking to do is potentially move of course luke voight we know gotta go and he still has to go so we know the yankees got to make trades and before i before i went off on a little rampage there i was gonna say you know what the hopes of of if you look at this with a little optimism and trust me i understand it's hard to have right now but if you look at this with a little bit of optimism and you sit back and you go okay i'm looking at the overall picture here we need a first baseman not a lot of teams right now you know are talking matt olson but we also still have the opportunity of rizzo i don't think friedman leaves i don't think freddie freeman leaves leaves atlanta i don't know if that's a real possibility i've heard nothing about that but maybe we got that option chris taylor could be an option for the yankees because he could play all over not good mind you he doesn't play shortstop good center field he could play could play left he could place uh uh third short seconds so you got olson out there the yankees got every chance in the world to get olsen and a starting pitcher guys oswald is one of the best prospects in major league baseball i have talked about this guy a lot i want to see him multiple times this year very very big fan of oswald peraza very big fan of him he's the best defensive shortstop in the minor leagues people don't know that he's the best defensive shortstop in minor leagues he's arguably the fastest runner if not top three that the yankees have in the minor leagues he has significant pop to right field he hit he sprays the ball all over oswald peraza could play shortstop right now for the yankees he could play shortstop right now also for the oakland a's but i feel cashman in the sense if i'm gonna give you peraza if i'm gonna add more to that you gotta give me a starting picture i want mania so if there is any conversation and again the yankees keep this very very tight in the circle not a lot of this stuff comes out eddie blanks we do need pitching this is again the problem with a lot of yankee fans the yankees do need pitching you can i'll get let me let me get to that i get i get easily off track i understand that but let me let me finish my point and i'll talk about the pitching if brian cashman sits back and he goes look i know rizzo's there we got rizzo as a backup he already let us know he wants to come back if there is another offer and he wants to accept it we'll get that chance so we have time to work on that because that's a common thing in free agency but if you notice a possibility that there's not a lot of interest as much as you expected or it's not going to cost as much as you expected to get a guy like olsen and maybe a manaya maybe you're a little hesitant to say let me go throw it at 150 at robbie right now this is not me talking as i do in the heartbeat but if i'm brian cashman maybe he knows there's trades on the horizon that are gonna make this club better you know what i mean maybe that's possibility eddie eddie it's fine man i still want to talk about the pitching anyway um but maybe that's a possibility you know what i mean maybe there's a trade out there that none of us are thinking of cashman's done that before right he finds the offensive players i give him credit on that one i give him credit on that one he finds the offensive players he finds the offensive players so um he does that but on the pitching front carlos rodon i i love him i love him he had a terrific season huge strikeout numbers it's never healthy and i mean again that is that's just another risk for the yankees jameson taion is is an extremely good pitcher when he stays healthy and you know the yankees kind and there's not a sure thing in baseball and i understand that i understand it's not a sure thing in baseball i understand that but but you you want to feel somewhat of assurance when you're getting somebody who you feel is going to be on the field you know what i mean so you gotta try to go out there and find pitching whether it's a number two a solid number three you can't count on luis severino guys and another thing i'm going to make a point about garrett cole in new york city gary cole's pressure has gone up even more now max scherzer's in new york cole's a competitor he knows that cole's a competitor garrett cole also has to prove himself this year he's got to prove himself this year garrett cole probably would be pitching this year with more pressure than he's pitched in probably in his career because there's a lot of people that are watching his his his outings even closer now they ever have before because of the spider tech because of all that stuff you know what i mean you know there's a lot he got to do now there's a lot there's a lot of proving on his end ambassador minaj would be great li yankee king thanks for the super chat again maybe clayton kershaw's a target i don't know i i don't think so i mean you never know but i i don't i don't think that's necessarily a fit i see some people in here saying that the blue jays uh losing rey and getting gauzeman um you know and and of course losing simeon but the thing you gotta remember about the blue jays is that towards the end of the year a lot of the young guys started to come up and they were showing legitimate potential now they can have a full year of those guys pearson um manao manoa whatever his name is another another goody young pitcher gossman of course addie you can't downplay golfman too much he's a fly ball pitcher which i think kind of worries me if i'm toronto i think that era is going to go up a bit i don't think he'll be the same guy i don't think he'll put up anything of a year like robbie ray did so i definitely see that being a point but i do think they're pitching still has a chance to be strong and they they just still have a dynamic offense i mean these guys just keep getting better john parker great show just found your channel fam i appreciate that man thank you so much um stick around stick around um january ny news tv is gonna be absolutely terrific you're gonna love it you're gonna love it um i could see kershaw to the rangers i could see that um do you consider javi javi bias for the yankees no i don't i don't i don't consider bias for the yankees i mean i guess you know brian cashman does things that you never know about you know again guys i i've repeated this a couple of times today but i like to repeat it because i want people to know i'm not i'm not ken rosenthal i'm not none of these guys that have all these amazing sources i got a few guys that have given me very good information throughout my life actually throughout when i was 17 years old started writing for ny news uh way back in the day um i've had some some close family friends that know some significant people that have you know put me in a decent spot with them and we still are and throughout the years i've developed some more relationships with people and even definitely over the last six months so um you know stuff i get i put out there when i get it and i do verify it so where um you know if i know something you'll know it put it that way if it's not if it's not the yankees related sometimes i don't put it out there because i don't care i'm just be i'm just being real sometimes i don't care if it again noah synergard i told my team he's signing with the angels he got a one-year deal big deal he's gonna sign with the angels and me and my team like oh damn that's a good deal for him blah blah comes out boom and i'm like oh yeah yeah see you know what i mean and i didn't care to report it and i'll be honest with you felix who is also the co-owner of ny news the original owner of ny news he told me he's like pete you should put that information out there anyway no matter what but i don't care you know what i mean i don't care about other teams i really care about my yankees uh just for fun break says absolutely love your channel you're doing you're you're out doing everyone um hey man this is what it is um you know we built this thing up i take a lot of pride in um ny news and man ny news tv guys is my baby so if you hear me say it a lot you hear me talk about january a lot just understand that it's for you guys you know what i mean it's not for me um it's for you so when i when i know like jim has said it before we always talk about january january well it's something that i've been able to put together you know what i mean and i'm very very excited about it and it's not for me it does nothing for me you know what i mean it's for the new york yankees fan because i look around and i see our beat writers i see what they do i see what they talk about and this sucks it sucks they're not holding his team to the fire at all they're not doing anything like that they're not holding a team to the fire they're not asking the questions the fans want to hear them ask not doing anything like that so that's what ny news tv is going to be n1 news tv will be right here adam adam ny news tv is going to be right here if you see the title of the channel has already changed to ny news tv so that has already changed there's gonna be a lot more change on it um come probably the first or second week of december you guys will see um everybody who is joining and what noi news tv is actually going to be so um that is going to be a very very exciting time and again that's why i talk about it so much am i down for um why are you down on sevi he pitched pretty well when he came back well the reason i'm down on sevi is because he's not supposed to be coming back as a relief pitcher and he hasn't pitched since 2018. i think that's a pretty good reason to be you know not too confident in luis severino he hasn't pitches 2018 as a starting pitcher there's been a lot of injury there's been a lot of innings missed it hasn't been a lot of work loading that arm and that body so for me i i can't see louis severino as a number two and if the yankees try to sell him as this well you know we got severino back that's our big starter acquisition that ain't it that ain't it a a i could see tanaka coming back i reported on that very early in the off season that i was told that uh tanaka wants to come back to america so we'll see what happens there um no nothing since then that's that's the only time i ever was told about it that's the only time i was ever told about it so uh we'll see we'll see uh we'll see what happens there hey look at that we're definitely siminetti after dark right now probably push just past a little past probably 12 today and keep the conversation going and answer some questions at least i don't have to yell too much i did a lot of yelling today i'll save the rest of that for tomorrow so i'm drinking tea i don't want to lose my voice anthony medina my good friend says yankees haven't done anything pete but i'm grateful for you and the ny news team anthony we are grateful for you too my friend we are grateful for you too my friend ryan says can we actually trade gary sanchez yeah i think we can for something of value yeah i think you'll get something for him especially after the cba comes out maybe there's the dh in the national league i think you definitely can i think you definitely can chris says what the heck is cashman doing pete this is frustrating it's um it's you know it's as frustrating for me as everybody else you know what i mean um it's hard it's hard it sucks it sucks it really is it sucks um it uh it definitely sucks because you want to see him do something right like i said earlier when shirts are signed yankee fans were upset and all that now i i think yankee fans got a real legitimate reason to be upset when rey signed only 23 million a year for five years that's a joke of a contract if robbie ray pitches to a four era pitches 170 innings and obviously has over 200 strikeouts it's a hell of a deal it's a steal even at a four-year rate that's a steal if he's healthy that's a steal that's a steal um who is this timothy says tanaka story olson another piece from the a's sanchez gone you psyched about all season yes yes yes if the other piece from the a's is also another pitcher i'd be very psyched i'd be very psyched and are we in a good place the yankees right now no no not at all not at all you can't depend on aaron hicks can't depend on gary gary sanchez can't depend on the rotation yeah the only deals that really upset me i knew i didn't i didn't ever expect max charles would be a yankee i was kind of upset to find out the yankees had nothing to to go after him with they didn't look to do that um but rey and stallings definitely bothered me ray and if if i ranted before those guys got signed it would have been a really ugly rant it would have been no no i ranted with the with the right one i did rant with the ray one um i stopped there but i didn't see the stallings one but if they were together it would have been a crazy rent oh are you talking about timothy are you talking about if we made those moves are we in a good place yes very good place i like that i would like that nicholas says peter i haven't checked out your channel in a while think you had around three to four subs three to four thousand subs and now you're closing in on 7k congrats man keep it up glad your channel's gaining more popularity uh nicholas thank you the growth has been terrific um it just it just all goes to hard work and again what we're building here i i truly truly truly believe uh we are building something extremely special uh like no yankee fan is ever gonna have on youtube at least and it's gonna expand uh you know pod our podcast will go on all social on all platforms uh spotify apple all that fun stuff but we're gonna just we're just gonna have content overload just so much for you guys so much um so much stuff for you guys there but timothy getting back to what you said i yeah i think we would be in a in a very good good spot then and then you just gotta hope and then you just gotta hope um then you just gotta hope that the nutcase aaron boone doesn't do nothing too much to ruin it unfortunately anthony thank you for the super chat he says the fact that the yankees weren't even in on ray is embarrassing i i can't disagree the contract should have been very affordable due to how much he signed for 23 million a year 23 million a year 23 million a year for robbie ray over five years that was a hell of a get by the man i was shocked when i saw it i said i said when i saw the money i was like holy that's crazy when i saw the money that was insane that that was definitely insane um there was a question here i wanted to ask hey pete what is your what does pop say about all of this um if you guys a lot of you guys are new in here pop is is my father so i call him pops uh pop's a major major yankee fan um very very old school yankee fans but he knows the man look let me tell you guys something about the guys who who've been watching baseball for a long time they know that they know that and pop is the type of dude that knows the analytics too so um hey pops had me on gallow you know he he told me gallo is gonna be a train wreck for the yankees and he was so uh we'll see what happens um you know pops just thinks that um he doesn't think they're gonna go by very far you know he has the same mindset as me when it comes to uh aaron boone nobody likes i don't like i think aaron boone was a terrible terrible and i think it shows the disconnect between the fan base and the organization i really do i think it shows the discount i think 70 plus percent of the yankee fanbase wanted boom gone they got sick of them and they still are fire boom chance and you're gonna hear it more this year especially if they ever got off to a slow start so you know he's he's upset with the off-season definitely laughs about it he's very upset they haven't resigned aaron judge and he's right about that so you know we'll see we'll see uh x-wing class says i'm convinced the yankees are going to bring back gary after all we've seen from this guy i just saw cashman spoke about sanchez he falls in love with certain guys hicks is another one of his guys uh man i don't know man i really like chris i like bassett but i think mania would be more likely for the yankees uh when it comes to a deal potentially with the a's i think monae would be more likely oh yeah he definitely respects batting average as a stat i don't know who who can't respect batting average i never understood that argument i truly never understood that argument at all never understood it let me just check something real quick guys and then i'll be right back with you right nothing there nothing there man thank you i see a couple people already shared this on twitter too so i appreciate create oh my god i can't even talk i appreciate you guys for doing that thank you so much uh let's see hey pete which a starting pitcher i already said that one chris jennings i i answered that one montes would also be up there plain and simple it's time to make moves says austin torres i agree with you austin uh thank you for the uh another subscriber there appreciate it dj steels what's good fam peter the philosopher signs of the mets for 60 years 190 million with opt out after 2023. hey i'll drink to that even though it's tea even though it's only tea and there you go look i got a little uh mr fantastic mr fantastic money has to go somewhere why not extend judge now yeah i mean that's another thing right if that's going to be the case extend judge now why would judge want to stay here he loves the yankees you know what i mean um sometimes it's hard to leave somewhere you've been for so long i mean if you guys heard my kevin kern interview kevin kernan told him he was like i would i would bolt to the giants you know what i mean he's a california guy he told him i would bolt to the giants i'd bolt to the giants hope we get trevor story and olsen tomorrow that would be a nice surprise waking up in the morning um yeah i think that would be absolutely terrific i think that would be terrific i'd be very happy with trevor store you guys have heard me talk about him a lot um i like him i like i like trevor stormy yankees i i think he's very athletic i think he can move positions very easily and i think that could help him in the future when volpe or peraza are the yankees well let me just say not when they're ready when the yankees are ready to call them up because guys have been reading the yankees don't call them up um adam says do you like zach hempel i don't really know much about the guy um to be honest i know he's the guy who catches all the the home run balls and like that but guys i don't care about these guys i care about my team my my people that are with me and and my n1 news family and that's it mania is a tommy john waiting to happen well if he gives us the one year who cares you know what i mean if he gives us the one year who cares after that who knows i don't know if the yankees resigned but you got to just worry about 2022. and that's the thing is yankee fans man we got to worry about 2022 not when jason dominguez is ready in 2024. got to worry about 2022 we got it we got to bring the idea back of winning now it's very important you got to bring that idea back of winning now simple as that uh that philosophy must make a hard comeback in the yankee community especially the fan base you know falling in love with prospects is cute and i get it nowadays it's a big thing but a prospect is a prospect they hit a miss no matter how good they look no matter how good they project to be it's hit or miss it's a hit and miss and the yankees are a win-now club when you're a win now club you expect a win now it's your boy fam i appreciate you man can't believe that some fans are okay with gary being the catcher because other catchers don't have the offense he has catches on more defense and offense to be honest it's your boy spot on man i mean i've had this argument with many i i don't get it after what you've seen i don't understand it i don't understand it i i don't get it i i really don't man i really don't i don't understand it um it's so obvious when you're when you're top guy when your top guy doesn't want to pitch to you that's a problem towards the end of the year when three-fifths of the rotation don't want to pitch to you that's a problem that's all there is to it guys you know that that's your answer right there if you're an organization that's your answer right there when's the last time gary sanchez played in the playoff game you know what i mean i mean not uh higashiyoka been up in there so pete stop it you talk like a win-now guy don't you know what this club is daniel i feel you fam i know man did i like to fill nevin firing i did i did i think it was time to move on i'm literally still laughing where did that go i just lost that one i was just reading one of them did it go away oh no i'm literally still laughing about your earlier stream ny news i asked my guy what's brewing he said my coffee that's true i got it on here i can't show you guys the person but no i got it i got it right there on my thing yeah i asked him i said is there anything brewing he said pete my coffee take it easy that's it that's what he told me that's a hundred percent fact uh pete the yanks are waiting to pay judge when he gets injured to pay less whoa sounds like a yankee thing to do uh pete i want to get to somebody's pete love the show been listening for a couple of months now what do yanks do with geo and glabor much love fam hey jay thank you so much i appreciate that jasino you would a man fam thank you so much um you know a lot of yankee fans are gonna be upset with me on this one but i think the yankees best team has dj lemayo at second base i don't think there's room for labor tours and i think as a win now team those are those tough choices you got to make and i look to move on from labor you know i i when i say i'm moving off from somebody and they go somewhere else and do great god bless them i'm happy for them but they didn't work here and in reality the best second baseman on the new york yankees is dj lemayo there's no denying that overall he's the best second baseman you also paid them you should go with them when it comes to geo have oswaldo cabrera maybe a jonathan vr have a good bench player that you're comfortable with that guy starting at third base not a old door who's never played there before have somebody there who you know could play third base well and could hit a little bit have a strong bench why not have a pretty strong bench that's also important in baseball it's always been and it always will be no matter what numbers tell you that's always been important in baseball uh let me get to the next one here i'm not gonna go into the stadium i'm not buying anything from this team pete the yankees are wait okay i saw that one he excited to pay judge less um oh there's the sound i'm not even going to read that comment let's see uh dj steele says how about bias um i just don't see that as a fit i mean coop what's going on fam um i just don't see that as a fit i know maybe that's not the answer that you want oh i guess it wouldn't shy nothing would really shock me but um i just don't see it as a fit have they even signed a hitting coach uh just for fun breaks no they haven't no they haven't uh tyler thank you so much man i appreciate that would you sign up for off season sign suzuki who's a the the japanese center fielder who's very good by the way from the the things i've heard about him recently signed rodon trade for olsen and mania signed story and trade sanchez and non-10 to him i don't know who's replacing him sign me up for that yeah sign me up for that guys i i've been saying this is the beginning i'm not hard to please this offseason but i don't know how you failed this offseason and that's the scary thing that we're seeing right now you guys have heard me say you have a plan one a one b one c one d one e one f the list can go on and on and on and on the list can just keep going it could go on and on and on but right now we're concerned because there has been nothing at all and a lot of the guys that were rumored and speculated are gone they're gone now brian reynolds says eddie rosario would be a good pickup and i'm not hearing many many folks talk about him oh many talk about him not many folks i'm sorry i'm putting my own language in people's uh people's writings here eddie rosario would be a good pickup for a lot of teams he'd be a good pick up for a lot of teams he'd be a good picker for a lot of teams johnny um you didn't miss much man just kind of doing a recap here uh so you didn't miss much fam thank you for being here uh some trades have to happen tomorrow johnny i agree with you i think trades will happen hank's gotta do something look they gotta trade luke voigt they gotta trade luke voigt i i told my team earlier don't be shocked to see the red sox make a big move and you could take that how you want but that wouldn't shock me the red sox come out of nowhere make a big move as of right now of course it's a failure of an offseason there's no denying that there's no denying that as of right now it's a it's definitely a failure yeah jonathan um you could definitely move gleba tours you could definitely move glebe tours and you get you'll get a good return for him still even if he's a part of an ace deal even if he's a part of the of an ace deal and maybe that leads you more to getting a guy bassett voigt for olsen no you got it you got to be realistic man you got to be realistic jake says pete this might be i think he meant hope hope from me but could it be that we haven't heard anything because correa is who the yanks want it would make sense because we haven't heard about correa the yankees like i said man it's it's possible i i vote i've always said that it's possible but again i'm just going off of what i've been told and trust me i want to be wrong i want to be wrong i want to be wrong and i want i want to be wrong i want my people to be wrong everything i have been told that the yankees will not add a significant contract so if they added correa who's going to get over 300 million i'll be shocked out my mind i will be shocked out my mind brendan brendan thank you so much man what type of contract do you expect trevor sora to get do you think he gets short term or goes for a simian type deal he's a perfect fit for us uh brandon i agree uh brendan i agree i think he is a he is a really good fit for the yankees i like him a lot for us i think he's a good fit for his ball club um i think he gets a simian deal i do i think the way this market is going there's gonna be no need for a guy to take a short-term deal i would love to see him take a short-term deal with the yankees i really would i would love to see the yankees get away with a one-year 27-28 million dollar deal if possible that would be terrific but i don't i don't i don't think it's happening the market is very strong we're seeing that you know if you want to take a deal like that just put it like this if you want to take a deal like that the rangers are somebody else not the rangers necessarily the mariners you know um detroit uh the dodgers boston maybe there's a lot of the the angels there's a lot of teams out there that would say hey freak that you know we'll give you more than that we'll give you way more than that jake you're right you're right there's no such thing as overpaying free agents i agree i agree there isn't the only thing about karate but that maybe potentially you could see is that maybe they signed him for a very long term deal and that way that money spread out a little bit to make hal a little more comfortable but guys i'm again guys i'm not the one who who put the information i'm not i'm not the one who's bringing that information this is just coming from people that i i trust i trust a lot and you know before was cool in the offseason to say the yankees weren't spending i told you guys uh because that's what i told you four my four of my best people told me so we'll see so we'll see uh we will go just a couple of minutes more i really didn't want to go too long and i'm almost hitting another hour that's how quick this stuff goes would i be opposed to a 12-year deal for correa no i wouldn't be i wouldn't be at all i i wouldn't be at all opposed to anything like that you know i would i wouldn't be opposed to anything like that i would not be opposed to nothing like that um anything that makes the yankees better i'm not a poster and at the end of the day i'm not paying the contracts i don't care really but again i'm just telling you guys what i've been told oh we got some big news for you guys right now um big big news in in yankee world brace for this one you guys ready chris

yo new york yankees fans yet again it is felix from nynews.com like always so yankees fans there's a strong rumor out there that the yankees are about to ship gary sanchez to the miami marlins the person reporting this has gotten a whole bunch of moves right this offseason he's also a fellow youtuber with about 30k subscribers his handle is italk studios he's gotten the gauzeman signing correct cluber signing correct and so on this is why i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt this guy has a large following and it doesn't seem that he would uh discredit himself putting out false information like i said he has a good track record this offseason so far so what he's putting out is that um the yankees are about to ship gary sanchez over there to miami and also he put out that the uh pirates are close to acquiring catcher young guns and why is that significant because the pirates there's been talk that the yankees are interested in pirates character stallings who was a yo glover in 2021 and again another rumor is that the yankees are not going to pick up gary sanchez's uh arbitration and the scenario is that the yankees are going to trade for stallings and the yankees are going to ship gary sanchez to miami here's my honest opinion gary sanchez is not a catcher gary sanchez is more of a dh if the nl adopts the dh i think gary sanchez is going to go ham as you guys all know dh has been occupied on the new york yankees for seasons now again i'm not saying gary sanchez is a great catcher he absolutely is horrible but i do believe that there's potential there with his bat and like i said he could completely go ham playing down there in miami so again the strong rumor out there the yankees are going to tender gary sanchez's contract they're going to trade him to the miami marlins and there's a good possibility the yankees are going to trade for pirates character stallings who is defensively great it's a major upgrade from gary sanchez my voice is kind of out right now but i wanted to come on real quick to give you that scoop uh yeah strong possibility and you know it's not one of these uh fake sources online the guy saying it has been right about like five times already this offseason he hasn't been incorrect thus far so yankees fans leave your opinions in the comment section below and like always this has been felix from nynews.com share like and subscribe and i will check you out next time please

we designated splitters live every week live designated homie cause we spit heat we designated spitters friends sis and pete yes talking yankee baseball hip hop on the streets yup we designated yup we innovative yup we designated spit it's time that you know we designated yup we innovative uncle stevie uncle stevie making deals on black friday and he wasn't taking bargains he wasn't taking bargains any part of the day he's uncle steve um that should be like the startup to uh to a met show but unfortunately um i gotta start with uncle halstein bruno this is uncle stevie yesterday this is uncle stevie yesterday he woke up and chose violence he said listen oh shoot he said steven match what you want to do okay call up call up mark hannah call him up i thought that was the didn't uh didn't big pun have a version when he was like [ __ ] on the whole industry that's exactly what he just did that's exactly oh man listen uncle steve he did he said all right that was funny though because you know that was like that was like a legit i'm pissed off type thing i told felix felix messing me about i say yo this man was making deals sitting on a love seat and cracking walnuts just like yeah yeah close the deal just cracking another wall man who you getting marta that's what he wants i do it yeah these people i saw people giving uh billy eppler some credit for some of these deals and i'm not trying to billy i'm not trying to i'm not trying to shade epler at all but let me tell you something your man just got here yo man he just got here he says sir what we doing today he goes we got three deals we're closed already he's just he's just he's just gonna make the call okay cool he gave billy the day off yeah facts he said bill bill black friday go with your family get some things done just start tomorrow don't worry we'll have a couple of things done for you you don't got to come in you get credit for it i started laughing so hard i got hiccups let me get my water making some headlines out there right they get um they get kana they get rosario and then of course they get the the big one at the end of the day is of course starla marte and of course yeah this is not nym news this is ny news so at the end of the day we're gonna you we're gonna talk about our yankees and look first and foremost i'll just say this not a significant impact on the yankees i get it because you know we still have things we can do but man friends i tell you man i am utterly in a way shocked by a lot of the reaction from yankee fans oh you came to marty the people the people like defending how bad of a signing all of a sudden marty would have been who would have given that money and this and that he got four years about 19 million a year yeah he got under 20 million a season yep not even 20. for for the next four seasons i laughed about this on the live chat i don't want to keep laughing again do you know that there was yankee fans that actually said that aaron hicks is better it's a better point there's of going out there and getting them you have you have yankee people out there posting videos of aaron hicks making sliding catches in center field and dominic and winley when he looked like trash doing it he looked terrible he looked terrible tell you guys right now he took a horrible route to that ball horrible um and ninety percent of it ninety percent of the the route was the the fact that he was moving ridiculously slow but you know who he looks like you wanna laugh i'm not joking you remember when bernie williams came back to play into wbc oh god and everybody looked at it was like bernie you can't do this fam they're like bernie no bernie we don't want to see you like a man who didn't belong in that field and you could tell i mean people say oh well you know you know maybe out of shape that's why he's out there he's trying to get back listen listen guys what was he doing make all the excuses you want i'm not i'm not here this is not about bashing aaron hicks right this is not about bashing aaron hicks this is about bashing the idiot fans who were in my mentions telling me that aaron hicks is equivalent to starling marte so we don't have to spend on a starling marte because we already have him basically what where who and where does aaron hicks match like the speed did you see what he looked like catching that ball you know come on bro mind you i'm actually sitting here saying if aaron hicks is on center field okay but just have a good backup phone i'm i'm on record saying that so i'm not somebody who's like i hate aaron hicks i would trade him if i could mine 100 i'm just cracking up truly that fans are actually even uttering the words that marty isn't a better and then they're talking about his age do you see the way this dude is built no some of them that's what i'm saying that i had people in my mentions telling me oh yeah a 33 year old center fielder is not the answer is it what was it was a 32 year old uh utility infielder the answer last year because we gave him six years and signed him dj the mayhew and we were all very happy that we resigned the mayhew we were all very happy that uncle stevie didn't swoop in and steal the mayhew so don't tell me a year later you're saying nah we don't need and it's a shorter deal and you guys are talking all this garbage and [ __ ] about the marte deal you know marta deal martay's deal ends a year earlier than le mayhew does yeah we're paying we're paying the mayhew a year and him and lemay who are the same age and we're paying dj a year later then the mets are going to be paying starling marta the deal is a good freaking deal the deal's a good freaking deal it's an economical deal for him he's making he's getting paid he's getting good money but it doesn't that's not a back breaker contract for a team not in new york for the yankees not a new you're the problem what what organization are we that's the only issue here we've become the kansas city yankees according to the fans they're talking about oh no we can't spend that kind of we can't afford that what and i'm a circle i'm a circle back to marte but the other thing i want to say make no mistake about this because i feel like some people got it confused somewhere i saw it in the mentions on on my tweet i saw it in the mentions on your tweet because we both had a similar tweets that kind of blew up and some people don't seem to get it they think that we're we're upset about all of the moves that the mets made no and we feel like and we and we're like oh no we wanted all of those guys and the mets stole all of those guys no no no no no no no no no no they just want to stupid read into what we're saying we were speaking like i was speaking specifically about starling marty and so was pete mark canna i came out and said he i think he was a great signing for the meds i think all the signings were good for the mets all of them were good for the match all of them were looking escobar listen escobar canna two great signings for the men's if the yankees would have signed either canna or escobar i would have been like what are we doing like i don't i don't get it like right escobar it's like we already got dj and i like dj better i think he's a better version of that are we trading geo then he's taken over exactly i would have been like what's happening here because that score play escobar plays second and third you know he's a i'm like yeah he's a good clubhouse guy but i'm like yeah is that what like i would have been confused if the yankees weren't assigned to i agree so no i wasn't i didn't feel any kind of way that the mets got him other than happy for the mets fans i was like that's a good pick up congrats mark canna same thing oh yeah we do need that we do need outfield but ken is not the kind of outfielder that we need so when they signed him i was like oh i see what they're doing i was like that's good for them because they need that they need that and they're gonna need that so i was like okay yeah ken a great pickup had a decent year in oakland and i mean the way he hits over there is kind you got to kind of take with a grain of salt because he hit it he did it in such a shitty ballpark that it's like put him in a put him in a ballpark that plays even half a little bit more friendly to hitters and he's probably going to put up a lot better numbers so i think again can a good deal shouts out to the mess for those two very good deal for the mets what we were talking about though was only starling martin it was only him he was the only player that the mets and the yankees together were going after along with a slew of other teams the phillies were in our hearts the marlins the marlins made a big push for martay which now i mean side sidebar or whatever but now you know now they're saying that they shifted after losing out on marta they shifted to castellanos that's going to be interesting because there's a lot of teams that want that want nikki stixx and if the marlins come in and swoop him up guess whose market improves even better which is what boris has been saying all along comforto he starts to look way way more attractive with marty and nikki sticks off the ball you said he's gonna get money he's gonna get it yeah because i and the reason i predicted it to my whole basis behind that was boris is gonna tell him don't don't get scared we're gonna have to be patient and you're gonna have to watch some guys get signed ahead of you but i'm gonna get you the money but don't don't get finicky don't get afraid because you're gonna see some guys go and you're gonna start thinking but dang is there gonna be a place for me is it gonna pace for you and there's definitely gonna be a place for you just be patient and i'm it's looking like it's gonna pay off starling got a great deal nikki stixx is gonna probably get a decent deal because the marlins apparently the marlins apparently were willing to go pretty close to what marta got from the mets yep right yep so i mean i would imagine they'll go just they went right up there they were close they were close they were close right yeah that's what was that that was that was that was what was being reported today if i'm if i'm not mistaken now so i i would imagine that for castellanos they're gonna go about the same they're gonna go about the same um length if not a little more costianas is 29 so he's younger you could give him more years if that's what he's looking for give him the money and miami has they got the paper why not and you guys they going come on you're more willing to go more years if you have to exactly because you can give them an off day in the in the outfield and have them you know dh for you a little bit split time over there so if he does end up going to the marlins who some people had them in the outfield market but not a lot of the top insiders had the marlins going and making a splash in the outfield market like i'm like a marte or a castellanos when a team like that does something like that it really shifts the market and that's why boris has been saying he's like no no he's like uh comforto conforto is going to cost and that's why he said i don't think he's going to go back to the mets and maybe that's why the mets went and ponied up what they did for marty because when you see what conforto gets you're probably going to be like wow marte was a steal which is what we've been saying yeah we said we said the deal for starling martin once we saw it it's a seal great deal it's a great and again it's funny because my my whole my whole beef is like you said before i don't care about khan i don't care about escobar my thing is what yankee fans were saying after the fact because look my job isn't to put nobody on blast i'm not looking to do that but a lot of the cats that were saying oh the yankees wouldn't have matched that off or the same one saying they wanted to offer them those type of deals they would have seen people saying oh we wanted this guy that's the thing that bothers me about yankee and look this is a yankee podcast so it's kind of funny you're saying that but we keep it real that's exactly what it is my whole thing is though why do a lot of you cats feel like every other player that could be our team we got guys better than we don't i gotta come to you right now and say we don't we don't no we're not in that position the cat's saying oh there's yankee fans out there panicking now look at my tweet what did i say in my tweet not that they're panicking about getting a big name i said they have too many moves to not be aggressive i said it in my live chat the yankees have what aaron boone called giancarlo stand a unicorn remember because he he's magical when he's got everything going he's magical i said the same thing about the yankees off season right they got prospect capital and they got money to spend there is no excuse that the yankees come now what where a few days away from december 1st haven't made anything of significance not nothing at all nothing to tip a hand nothing to even tell the fan base yeah we are taking a different route what do they do release clint frazier okay he wasn't gonna they dear fade a couple guys bam the biggest move is tylawade to be honest the biggest move of the yankees off season so far has been tyler wade it's the one that made you say oh wow that was kind of surprising it was like whoa that's interesting they left squid they let squid and tyler wade go to the angels dia fade clint he's gonna be out there and then they'll probably throw this there's probably going to be something you're going to see some people probably react when they non-tender a guy or two now in a couple days because the nonsense the deadline's coming up they're probably in a long time they're probably going to non-tender a guy or two a lot of people a lot of people are predicting and i mean you i mean i feel like you know you've been saying that for a little while some people i've been hearing it for a while like people predicting and probably gets the non-tender um so yeah that'll be something but it's still not it's not what uh it's it's not what the mets have done it's not it's definitely not what detroit has done so far blue jays may add gauzeman yeah i mean it's looking like it could come down to the jays the mets i was told this morning i said it in the chat i also said it on the live that um the people that one of the guys i couldn't cooperate with anybody else said one of the guys that gave me actually to know with syndergaard stuff he said flat out he would he's expecting it to be done either today or tomorrow that he's going to the mets so because they made a very hard push to get them so i mean that might be even but even if he doesn't go to the mess he goes to the blue jays that's basically the blue jays saying we're not bringing ray back and yeah that's open to another club but again that's the blue jays now still getting better and then on top of that that's the robbie ray now does he go to the yankees so here's my thing about the yankee off season i'll see if you agree with me and and this is what this tweet basically meant so to all the fans out there that's oh you guys are panicking no nobody's panicking yeah it's not i i i said this i said this earlier and i'll say it again you could beat a lioness and you could wait to to jump and and make your move and catch your prey you can weigh back but you do that for the big meal of the day you do that for the big fish you don't need to do that for positions like catcher you don't need to do that for a backup outfielder you don't need to do that for jonathan vr you don't need to do that for a starting pitcher you can do that for your robbie ray you can do that for your seaguar or one of your top shortstops you can do that you can wait because look let's be realistic you want to be optimistic let's be optimistic there's four short stops out there that are not signed and it's this almost december 1st lockdown is coming we don't know if that's signed before or after but there's four guys that are available that need to play somewhere next year we know detroit would be interested we know texas that they're probably gonna get one one of each that can still leave you with two who whoever those names are whatever the mariners go out there and they get uh adam frazier hello and take some and take some right out of the of the talk maybe they put that money elsewhere you know what i mean now you got to look out for them somewhere else my thing is eventually eventually with the waiting game one of those players may crawl to the yanks i'd say look you know my guy does want to win he got this offer out there we may take a little less to come here yeah and that's what cashman probably is waiting for my thing is though that's not the only move that this team needs to make they need significant change trust me in my comment section today on my on my live chat which is this is obviously going to be tomorrow but saturday morning saturday afternoon everybody agreed i'm telling everybody agreed gary sanchez cannot be your catcher if you're a serious team you can't have gary sanchez behind the plate again can't do it can't do it then up not if you're the not if you're the yankees you're up the middle cannot be gary sanchez gleber aaron hicks and then whoever your new shortstop is you can't do it's not a winning formula you're not looking to win we've been saying this we've been saying this we've been saying this for we've been saying this for months guys been saying now for a couple weeks right i mean in our group chat and then i guess whenever whenever we you know record do episodes or whatever i feel like you know the yankees are a lot of the stuff that's coming out that they're putting out you know through their you know yes network people and beat writers and all that [ __ ] it's all it's all financial posturing right i don't put too much stock in anything that's been said so far right it's been said by guys like passin and rosenthal that they expect that they're like know the yankees are gonna give out one of those 300 million dollar contracts to either correa or seeger or one of those guys but then it's also been said by lower level guys like your shermans and whoever like no you know word on the street is that they're not gonna be giving out a 300 million dollar contract um a lot of people are saying that they can see them going with a stop gap and things like personally is francis putting in stock in either camp right now no why because i feel like nobody knows what they're doing because that's how cashman operates and you know what that's not necessarily a bad thing because when you're the yankees if you show your hand you're screwed right like if you show like listen this is our guy and if we don't get him like our entire offseason hinges on him then you're gonna have to overpay and you're gonna get beat over the head with the price so if you if you remain ambiguous it's probably better for you right which makes sense that if they are going to sign a 300 million dollar play a contract then they also put out that they're not signing it so that it's not as out there or if they are going to a stop gap it's better that they also put out that they maybe might dip in the water 300 million because you don't want to show your hand but all that all that being said the paris that that's speaking about like the big fish that's not speaking about the peripheral moves and we're talking about moves like catcher center field like things like that you know what i'm saying starting pitching is always a priority it's always a focus but i mean this off season right like it's something that has to be like you know at really at the forefront after you make one of these big moves i listened to boone on r2c2 the other day god bless you he sounded like it was it was an intro it was an interesting interview but i'll say towards the end when they started talking about like free agency and things like that or whatever he didn't give up anything so if you guys are going to go look into that to get info you're not going to find much but what he did say was that you know they're working and they're they have a couple targets they're talking about different guys every day and he said like he feels like you know right now they're in a position where they're just waiting for a big domino to fall and that once that domino falls you're going to see a bunch of subsequent moves that follow that right after i heard that i said okay let me do a little research here before i speak out of turn i want to look i looked at the 40-man roster which is currently exactly at 44. it's perfect perfectly at 40. and i went and i looked at it let me tell you what i gathered from looking at that roster this roster is not a roster that is built for opening day so clearly clearly the yankees are planning on making several moves so i'm not i'm not going to sit here and say like oh my god the yankees aren't doing anything they're not going to do nothing or whatever no no one thing for sure they're going to do something they're going to do something because the way the 40 man is right now this is not a 40 man that's going to be playing in april there's obviously going to be moves we don't have we don't have a short stop we don't have like like your first baseman is right now it's technically getting it's like there's a lot of you know i mean it's like no so clearly things are gonna happen but what we're saying is right now there's a mad dash to get some of these guys locked into deals right and some of these guys are signing for maybe less than what they're gonna be signing for on the other side of the lockout because on the other side of the lockout we could be looking at a luxury tax threshold that is way higher than just 210 right yeah we can be we can be looking at teams who are desperate yeah because a lot of people are saying oh but the players are going to be desperate to sign too the players are going to point that right back at the teams they're going to be like oh yeah i'm desperate to play for a team but you're desperate to sign somebody also right like it's not gonna it's not gonna be like oh well the players are the only ones desperate they have the owners always carry themselves with this air that like they run everything and everything what we've begun to begun to see the last couple of years with deals like tatis with deals like lindor with extensions like mookie bets trout uh all these guys soto's impending extension wander franco after you know freaking short rookie camp just got extended 12 years what we're starting to see is it's not about you owners anymore the players have power they have power and if they come out on the other side of the cba walking around with the big stick you're going to have to pay these guys what they want and that's it and and that's that's my whole thing so it's like there's there's a there's a way that this waiting game backfires that's all i'm saying right i understand the waiting game and you just said it too you understand it makes sense everybody knows that we we understand what cashman is doing this is not a method that um how you say like this is not a method that like is a you know it's a crazy method it's not proven or whatever this is a proven method in business right you wait guys out you wait them out wait you wait guys out wait for the market to be not a george thing you know it's not something that george would have done because you know he said the market and he also had an ego so you know he wanted to fill his own ego up so exactly what george washington worked no he wouldn't he would oh man there would have been moves today exactly yeah what what's what uh cohen did today well uncle steve did today yesterday george would have made a move you know just because he knew the mets were going to get a headline so you probably would have seen seeger as a yankee today yeah it would have just a secret or robbie reyes somebody he would have they would an agent would have got a call it would have been george they would have been jumping up and down because they knew what's up already and he got a monster deal yeah you know and and that's the way it works so nobody's saying that you know that's the way this yankee team literally has to run to organization no because you shouldn't be reactionary towards the mets of all things but at the end of the day there's a lot of like you said the 40 man ross i even i was just even browsing it just now it's not built for a club that is ready to play major league baseball so you know there's gonna be changes yeah my thing out there that i say is concerning is like you just said you don't know when the cba is gonna gonna be agreed to you don't know what month is it going to be february a month before spring training i mean if that's the case team players are going to be well i want to sign i want to go i want to do this i want to do that then you got to hope that any trade you started to talk about is is held up or you don't know how teams finances are going to change you don't know if their mindset's going to change or how they want to look at their business maybe look towards next year or whatever that's going to be you also don't know what other players may become available you don't know there's this is a very weird house because i do believe when moves are made they're going to be all grouped together because teams are going to be you know not necessarily reactionary but with a time frame that is limited to say this boom boom boom boom then you're gonna see one after the other my whole thing at the end of the day and i've kept to this is the changes that must happen need to happen this all season you can't finish this offseason and come to the yankees and say we got seeger and we got um uh uh uh jonathan vr because we think he's gonna help on the bench that's not an off season even though even if you had john great we also signed john gray that's not it i'm sorry sorry that is not it not just off season there's too many holes there's too many holes and that's my whole thing it's like look and it's not like you don't have plugs to fill it that's it exactly there's too many holes and but there's so many options for the holes right now like right now on this half of free agency what my whole thing is on the second half of free agency we don't know what is going to be there you don't know what is going to be there you don't know what kind of negotiations are going to be had you don't know what the conversations are gonna look or feel like and there's gonna be a lot of stuff going on again again the yankees could be operating under under the thought that we actually do know what the second half of free agency is gonna look like because maybe they have information that we're not privy to as fans i always put this out there as a disclaimer they operate at a much higher level than we do so they might have information about how the cba negotiations are actually going to go and they might know that okay it's not really going to go into february it's probably going to go into maybe mid-january or something like that right and we'll have time also you know we already hear the the rumblings of like the luxury tax threshold going up we already know that this is going to happen that's going gonna happen so like they might be playing with house money they might know things that are coming but us as fans we don't of course and that's why we're gonna react the way that we're reacting because especially when you see teams moving with a sense of purpose because that that just shows you that regardless of what the thank you the yankees think there are other teams who think nah i need to get stuff done right now because we don't know what the second half is going to look like and you have plenty you have plenty of like uh teams that have proven that the padres dealing frasier on this side of uh you know the the lockout you know i'm saying that that's that speaks volumes now i put out a tweet today i was like i was like you don't know if they dealt frazier because they wanted to open space for cj abrams to come up right and maybe and maybe shift over to second base maybe a free agent or or maybe now they want to dip their maybe they want to dip their sales into freaking the the simian market or the buyers market yeah if they if they start having conversations with buyers buyers is that that whole thing is going to be all over the place now because right now you have a lot of people saying look bias is looking like that's the tigers priority and like they're gonna like make it work according to reports today buys on the mets are off in terms of like the money figure yeah so which you know i could see some met fans being like oh like what the hell like you know we're spending money like whatever why are you gonna like be cheap on the bias deal when we just spend all this other money but you guys got to remember he they extended lindor 341 million dollar like that's a lot of money they just spent 120 something yesterday like they're spending money you can't be upset they're like they're not spending they're spending they're spending money the thing is that if bias is pricing them out meaning that the tigers are pricing them out of bias because they don't want to price up to like korea yep and the mets might have to take the l there because it is what it is and biases market is is really robust right now you got the tigers you got the mess the red socks are in on him there's a lot of teams if the team like the padres gets in on that too who knows now with simeon it's like a toss-up i mean who knows because i seattle was a team that was like i felt like they're a really good fit he's from like up there area whatever and they they got adam frazier now so it's like hey simeon very nice very nice deal that was a really really good deal does that make does that open the track for him to come back to toronto a little bit easier or is toronto looking for other things like you know right now they're focused on pitching but you see them looking at a lot of guys who are not named robbie ray which would lead you to think they feel like they're going to be priced out of robbie ray which is something i tweeted weeks ago and a bunch of you were saying like oh no that's not the case they're just checking in because you know maybe whatever i said this i said this when we started to see what verlander's market was looking like remember you did you did i was saying i was like he's gonna get i thought he was gonna get two years 40. he ended up getting 50. which i thought was crazy i said he's going to get at least like two years 40. he got 50. cindergard got what 21. cinderella is 25. wasn't it 25 so cinegar is 25 for the one year right mats four years 44 million yeah water eduardo rodriguez 77 they're going to get hey golfman's look at the players too that got the players involved and going after goldsmith you got the mets you got the i think the mariners are interested you got the blue jays you've got teams of money kevin gosse the giants are still there probably with them yeah so you got kevin goffman's gonna go out there and get himself a paycheck and you know who's looking at oh no he's looking at that robbie ray's happy robbery could wait he could wait all day so just wait chill chill they're the ones that can be patient we need we need we need a cowboy in the bronx though we need a cowboy in the bronx we need robbie right in the bronx i'm sick of talking about this you know what i mean i'm almost sick of talking about we need a cowboy and a bronze my man had that cowboy hat and i said man that's it it's like the movie city slickers it's like the movie city slickers man that's what we need we get them a cowboy hat with a yankee logo around the front listen and i think i think that that's one of the things that actually has shown me like my optimism early on in the offseason wasn't necessarily unfounded like maybe we do have reasons to be optimistic because when you listen to the guys who have been in the players who have been in on some of these guys available right sometimes you hear the yankees but sometimes you don't and it makes people wonder like well you know stephen metz pretty solid pitcher did okay in toronto pitched really well against the yankees why weren't the yankees in that market why weren't the yankees in eduardo rodriguez's market these are guys who came to the bronx pushed against us and shut us down several times throughout the year why weren't they in those markets gossman has tons of people right now in his market haven't heard anything about the yankees talking to yanks nope some people are saying some people are saying oh well because they're gonna like you know they're looking to trade for a picture or they're looking to get like a really low level thing or whatever could be that or it could be that they're like yeah let all of these guys go and snatch up your thor's your stephen mats your eduardo rodriguez your kevin gossman's your john gray's your max scherzers and then let's see what happens with ray at the end right right and let's see what happens with ray at the end we know we're gonna if because because you said it that's cashman's guy he's wanted him for years yeah for all you know they have a bulletin board in yankee stadium right now with robbie ray as one of the center pieces and they're like he's our freaking guy we gotta get him yeah but they're trying to play it like let's see look we know we're gonna have to pay him but let's figure out exactly how much we're gonna have to pay him let's see what it's gonna be right we don't know yet but again that's the whole thing it's like waiting that waiting game you got to be careful because you never know they have the power robbie ray sits down and watches greg gets signed gossman gets signed all these guys and he's not in a rush he knows he's going to get paid yeah correa knows you never know buyers goes to detroit correa knows he's going to get paid well that too and you know the longer you wait too you got to remember one thing players also see other teams getting better and they may enjoy that fit more so you know robbie ray sees the jays doing all this and who the hell knows what the js are up to you know like you said the cba goes up and jays go look man you know what we may not be able to do the one the 165 170 or whatever the hell kind of deal you get to something whatever hella will be but you know maybe maybe we can make something work maybe we give you more years maybe it takes that aav down a little bit well not not one something excuse me you guys know what i mean yeah but um for a guy like robbie ray i mean i i've said the reason why i just think it makes too much sense for the yankees is just because the strikeout numbers that's never going to change he's not going to not strike guys out will a zra go up i predicted it goes about a run and i believe that i think his era goes up to the mid threes maybe even high threes but it's worth it it's still worth it it's still worth it because i guess you gotta have guys that strike guys out in the postseason and the names alone back to back with scare teams the names alone are righty lefty that would probably be one and two in baseball on strikeouts if they're healthy all year yeah you have that on your club you notice what you're facing that's terrifying that's terrifying that's like shilling and johnson that's just johnson type [ __ ] it's rough it's rough and i could see i could see cashman saying like look we that's one of the priorities like we need to do that i could see that 100 i mean kevin kernan thinks so kevin kerner thinks that's his guy yeah he thinks that he tried too many times to get him not to get him now because of money yeah i feel like i feel like that's one of the things that like it would surprise a lot of people um but it wouldn't surprise me i i and i'd be i tell people like i would be way more shocked if they ended up with correa than i would be if they signed robbie ray i i would like i feel like shocked at correa also i feel like robbie ray i feel like robbie ray is like cashman has been like public about like his pursuit of him like not because he wanted to be public but like it just it's become public he's been after this guy for years now well it wasn't so close all it takes is one year he had a start in arizona and they literally asked them about it he was like the worst thing for me is going to be shaving my beard yeah like they asked him that if you go to new york you know what is it going to you say god i love it but the worst thing about me is shaving my beard like other than that and he always been you know but just a stubble you can't even have a lot of that showing so i mean you know shaving did like every other day he was like that would be the annoying part but other than that i mean every like i said i i i mean he'll love it he's gonna everything i love it over here everything i've heard about robbie ray is literally everything this team needs they need a guy again that was like sabathia that was just look we got to do the dirty [ __ ] i'm there i'll throw behind it dude robbie ray's not he's not scared to do that no he's tough on the mountain oh by the way i actually learned something interesting about him a lot of it actually wasn't necessarily mechanics for him it was actually weight gain um isn't that interesting i didn't even know that apparently it balanced him out more by being heavier on the mound yeah yeah so he said that he said that and a little bit of slight mechanics actually is what led to him having much better control so that was interesting so um it was bulked up and that made him remember a more command driven picture you remember when cece lost all that weight and he had no command at all anymore terrible yeah yeah a lot of people a lot of people need need the weight to hold you down center you better david wells talked about that a long time ago that him pitching heavy was better for them that's just how it was yeah is that people these days people are getting used to seeing like these like tall slender or even buff pictures and they're like oh my god like that's what a picture looks like whatever when we were coming up a lot of pitchers had beer guts yeah of course just heavy heavier set guys or just heavier guys they were throwing but they were throwing cheese they were throwing cheese and they could control it right and i think a lot of times right now with these bulky guys that you see like even your thor's or your michael lorenzo's or whatever these guys are real muscular dudes or whatever but it's like they'll struggle with the wild everything they'll struggle getting wild a lot of stuff and they struggle to stay healthy because they're all over the place is what it is like they're all over the place and they're lifting weights and stuff like that whatever it's not good it's not yeah you guys know how i feel about the whole the weightlifting and [ __ ] like that with baseball i think i don't know how the hell it got into it but i feel like i think it's like as limited as possible if you can limit that as much as it's a lot of strength as much as you can muscles especially doing something like bass when you're swinging a bat you're throwing a ball you're a lot with the sides with your obliques with your with your hamstrings a lot it's a lot of work where you're putting no pressure and power by you know working on other stuff like that but um oh bro we lost your camera yeah yeah i'll get it i'll get it back on i got like a i got like a faulty um plug here it's annoying oh man it'll come back on give me one second don't worry we're experiencing technical difficulties give us two to three seconds we'll be back this is what happens when you do live stuff right there we go see we've got a green there we go let's go we're back but um no like i'm saying i mean robbie ray would just be a great fit he would be a great fit for the club he really would be and all it's going to cost is a little bit of money and you know um and that and and from there you know the one thing i wouldn't want to see is gary sanchez catching him i wouldn't want to see that that would be terrible and i mean i i i broke that down again today on the live i don't even want to really talk about it much because i don't want to take up much of our time doing it but after what you saw from gary sanchez last year the horrible place after you got what three-fifths of the rotation not one of the pitch to him towards the end of the year two years in a row of not pitching in a playoff game at the end of the day guys i mean that's my thing how is that your starting catcher you basically already said he's not no more and now you're going to keep this guy again for another year no it's the thing that people like are delusional about they tell you oh no but sanchez is sanchez sanchez doesn't play the big games your ace doesn't want to pitch to him if you sign another frontline starter that starter's not going to want to push this copyright shouldn't pitch to him he got he got to throw sliders in the dirt why would you want robbie ray throwing no if if cole can't throw to sanchez robbie ray has no business even even looking at gary no no way no it's like so you're talking about games one and two of a potential playoff series going to higgy yeah like and some fans are okay with that i don't i'm not no i'm not i'm not anymore not at all like i was okay with it when it was just cold catching all right because boone's not gonna do [ __ ] about it so yeah that's how it is yeah but my whole thing too is you know if if you look at if you look at gary sanchez i saw somebody tweet this today there's a video or a picture of him working out everybody oh look to the people who called him fat and lazy gary sanchez could come in with a six-pack next year that doesn't mean he's going to improve his catching i mean that's not the thing you guys talk about stupid [ __ ] it's not even about the fat and lazy stuff but he does it every year he does it every year every year and by the way he shows up to spring training a lean mean hitting machine thank you he's got it in shape year after year and he's gotten worse sucks by may fam he's gotten worse defensively like i looked at the fan grafting matter of fact while we're here let me see if i can find this um hold on a second i gotta try to find it because i was laughing catchers by war okay because i saw somebody post this on fangrest and i'm like oh okay all right i get what people are doing because you know and then they were like oh it looked good because they just put it for american league and i said okay america like i said now let's look at all leagues let's look at national league and american league right and i was going to make a video about this but since we're here i'll talk about it right now why not all right in war in the american league so i'll be fair and do what everybody else did and and go by the american league first and league gary sanchez was ranked seventh overall mitch garver was ahead of him max stassi was ahead of him sean murphy salvador perez he has monte grandel and mike zunino who was number one in the american league those are the guys that were ahead of him he was seventh when it comes to just the american league now let's look at major league baseball because you know there's this whole idea that gary sanchez is just superior compared to everybody else offensively all right now gary sanchez ranks 19th in all of major league baseball and he's only thought he was i thought he was the best offensive catcher in the game he's also .1 points point one only ahead of danny jansen and francisco mejia two ahead of reese maguire okay point two he's also tied with manny pina okay john gomez a little above him elias diaz of colorado's above him carson kelly who is always injured is above him by point two dalton varshall who just moved to catching is above him by point five and then the list goes on and on to your best guys like your jacob stallings your salvador perez uh real muto and all those guys but then there's an interesting one defensive war bro i don't even want to see him no no you want to laugh you really want to laugh for a second oh man what is it 28 20 28 or 29 bro this is going by hold on hold on this ain't going by team this is by every catcher so when i first saw the list right i said what the [ __ ] is he i said i'm looking i'm looking all right hold on maybe i'm just missing let me look for the ny ny and a y and y and y nothing's popping up so i said hold on a second kyle hey kashioka's 19th i said wait there gotta be something wrong here ny i know why i said oh damn there's another page there's three pages all right it goes from one to thirty i said let me go let me move to the next page i said gary gotta be there he is 37th 37th oh my gosh 37th you know what that means when you're 37 guys let me explain that to you that means that teams have backup catchers who are better than gary sanchez defensively this is crazy bro like i mean our own backup catcher is better than gary sanchez defensively guys again i don't know how many times we're gonna have to say this we're sounding like a production like like a broken record here we can live without gary sanchez's offense i promise you we can live without his offense yes we can live without it no it's the 20 it's the 20 some odd home runs that he's going to spray in here and there whatever it's like if we if we keep joking again that one hot streak a year like that people people when he's back yeah yeah every every year he comes back listen i loved i i loved gary sanchez as much as as much as the next guy did but you know you got we got to move on it's about winning it's about winning gary sanchez as a catcher just doesn't seem like a winning move i'm sorry he's not i'm sorry if that hurts people's feelings or whatever but it's surrendering it's waving to white's leg it's waving the white flag if i'm look if i'm in those meetings with brian cashman i swear to god i wish i could be um i'll never be welcomed to him but that's okay but if i'm in those meetings and i'm sitting there i i look across the table to all the pro scouts probably actually yankees probably won't have that if i got all the analytical nerds around them and i'm just looking at all of them saying do we got to get cole on the phone do we got to get montgomery on the phone kluber's a free agent but you guys want to call him up real quick you want to call him to see what he thinks i'm i mean are we really kidding ourselves here to continue this guy to throw him back out and then and then you wonder why there's people like pizzamanetti of ny news who's talking about an obvious disconnect between a fan base and the ownership and the team because fans have known this [ __ ] for years and they keep running the same guy out there going guys it's gonna work this year this year this year every good team has a strong middle of the lineup middle of middle of the of the infield they're strong up the middle champions which means start starting pitching catcher second base shortstop center field francis the last time we won the world series um who was the who who do we have there in center field talk about catching okay well let's play a game that i love to play it makes me very sad but i love to play it look at the 2009 yankees world series lineup it's gonna make me very sad but let's do it let's do it this is a game guys this is a game this is a game that i love that i love to play it's fun because you probably could argue you got three out of the four guys are hall of famers yeah if not you know obviously and the last one is very very good was a very very good player okay so this is not the lineup in terms of order but this is how we lined up for game one wait hold on is this better be correct we have posada catching chair at first kanoa at second okay jeter short jeter a-rod at third like if you just stop right there that's it who's inside of who's in center field melky melky took center of that game damian was unless melkian okay but you typically would either be milky or damon tell milky or dean all right so that day so when you talk about strong up the middle that team was strong as hell up the middle ridiculously stronger than the next last time this team won a light a light matsuya dh that's the last time this team won a world series and they had the formula they had it all when you looked at that team you said there's a championship caliber team no and then uh pitching uh brunette pettit cece jabba aceves mariano who was a beast in the planet zamasu martay the melanson was with us that year i mean david roberts but you look at a lot of that look at the two guys and it's funny because you know i never really thought about this until this moment right now if you look at the 09 off season it's almost what the yankees had to do right now they added two strikeout pictures cece sebastian aj burnett they added the big first baseman which they obviously need now whether that's anthony rizzo or i don't know how to help the matt olson deal doesn't happen i really don't the the mariners just took themselves out of the picture likely we're trading for a few prospects um you know i think i think boston could still be a little scary with a move like that maybe maybe i don't think they have they don't have better prospects to offer than the could be but that that's the whole thing right there they they're farming they don't have better doesn't compete doesn't compete with unless they end up looking to trade one of those guys that were on the major league roster this [ __ ] that was really good uh which came up and pitched and yeah i still even see it better than what the yankees could offer no because then it would be money too the money too once they come up to the majors you know the money changes i don't think the rays are doing that i i don't know it doesn't seem like it doesn't seem like a race the brewers could the white sox maybe maybe but there's not there's not a lot of clubs out there that i'm looking at are looking to win now that are really going to be able to beat the yankees when it comes to getting a guy like matt olsen and that could take care of a lot of their moves right that could take care of first base and like i said i think if you make a deal with oakland i'm sorry you got to get a starting pitcher i mean make that deal bigger there's no point in just doing it if you're going to give up guys all right then let's give them if it's make the one giant deal if it's taking this long i'd like to believe that that it's because they're trying to exp they're doing their best to expand it and not that they're lowballing them with the offer it's either that or it could also be that oakland is also doing what the yankees are doing with a big free asian they're saying let rizzo go let freeman go and then we got to feel the play open whoever's rizzo if they really wanted to they could deal due to spring training that they wanted to they have they could hold they could they could hold on to them and deal with the at the at the trade deadline they'll get more now likely to they know they know they know that now this off season is is the peak so i mean i'm i'm honestly i i believe that deal is eventually going to happen at some point so i think their first video is going to be that route and it just makes more sense too because if you do eventually spend money on on a short slab if you do especially uh spend money let's say on robbie ray we know it's not going to be cheap and if you do that that locks you in right that locks you in for first base is not going to be too expensive 8 million or so depending on if you do move uh uh uh um herman or or voight or one of these guys you're also saving money there so you could still be moved exactly these are guys who are most likely gonna be moved no doubt about it so you're still saving money in in certain places like that so the yankees off season plan i feel like is well known by the majority of fans we know what they what they should do and i think that's the reason why a lot of us are just like but there's been nothing yet so all of it could come at one time all of it could come very quickly but i think there are certain moves that just make more logical sense because the yankees aren't going to go dish out 300 plus guys they're not going to do that i i i feel overly confident now that we're not going to see that happen maybe it does and i told you i said it a hundred times if it's wrong i'll be happy to say i was wrong i did not and based off the people telling me it i don't see the yankees doing it now i know your past sins and all these other guys saying they're gonna make a huge splash they're gonna you know they're gonna spend the money i don't see it i don't i don't see it i don't see it happening maybe it will but when it comes to the logical moves there are still so many out there without having to spend a ton of money that they could make to greatly improve this team it's just that they they have to go and do it and and right now you know there hasn't been a you know a jump in the gun to do so i'm still i'm i'm still a maybe on like the big short stop signing i don't know but do you think a 300 plus million i say maybe i say maybe the only reason i say maybe is this if the luxury tax threshold goes up to freaking 2 30 yeah or 240 or some [ __ ] like that then 300 another 300 million dollar deal is not going to do anything to the yankees but it's happening i could see them do it but if that doesn't yeah also it is it is house time and he does want to resign judge so that's that's the thing yeah but to me that's that's what that's what keeps me like at bay with it right now because like i don't know what the luxury tax is gonna be after the new cba is signed i know they want to sign judge i know they want to sign a pitcher i know they have to pay somebody at shortstop so i'm like they already have cold air they already have stent in there um if they do trade for olson it probably isn't so that they watch them walk away in two years so they would want to pay for him too like i'm looking at it and i'm like okay i could see you know i could see what's happening here this is an off-season that could set you up for a team that is locked in for the next three three four seasons that's right and this is who you're going with and then you just add and plug and plug and play when you need to yep right that's what has me like saying i'm iffy on it because i don't know what the cba is going to be yeah if i know for a fact that the cba is going to be the the luxury tax threshold is 2 35 next year or 2 30 or 2 40. that's 240 is crazy 240 i don't know how they don't sign correa and just say [ __ ] it because why not give me correa give me robbie ray like we can add both of them and still be under like get the [ __ ] out like like barely over um so that's what's gonna really upset fans when it actually happens and they don't do the moves exactly see that that's really gonna upset fans that's that would be where you really like and that's where i would really like lose it because i just feel like you stayed under the threshold last year the threshold went up this year and you still didn't sign one of these guys like what like well let me let me not say lose it because like say the threshold does go up to 230 240 and they don't get correa they don't get seeger but they get robbie ray they get story and they get like i'm probably not going to lose it because i'm going to be like i'd be happy about that i'm like we got better we got better tell you something you changed three positions if you could if you could change three yeah let me let me i'll bump it up to four i'll bump it up to four just to be fair just be friend i already said i don't think shortstop is the major priority that everybody's talking about i think it is just because of the names available but i think if you upgraded that olsen if you get a catcher if you upgrade a starting pitcher and then of course you get a shortstop whoever that may be i think that's enough and that's me saying it i'm not an easy sell i'm a hard sell i've said that i've said that you're probably coming march you know ny news tv jumps up in january you're probably gonna hear pete complaining i'm just keeping it real because i don't have faith in the team right now and the [ __ ] i hear is not cute you know and i try to report most of it some of it i don't report out there i tell you guys about it because i can't corroborate it yet with anybody else and when i do it then i'll report it i'll put it out there but a lot of the [ __ ] i'm hearing isn't cute so you know because of right now i'm not the most you know i'm not hopping up and down but like you said you were right if we didn't get correa if we didn't get seeger you end up getting story even if it's a one-year deal you you get olson over there you sign robbie ray also and maybe you get a uh you trade you trade for catching i'm telling you right now i'm gonna pat brian cashman on the back and i'm saying look for what you were given you did a hell of a job with what you were given without the big money without steinberg saying he go kid here's a blank checkbook have fun without that being said you did a good job cash i'll pat you on the back but i'm not patting nobody on a bag if they gonna play the waiting game they're gonna lock up correa or seeger and say yeah we also got olsen yeah the offense is cute but that's not enough of me it's not enough for me all right we got it we got we got to see we got to see what happens i mean honestly i'm just i'm dying for them to do something like i was hoping that the olsen deal would get done you know before the the lockout just so that we're like we went into the lockout with you know an ace in our pocket already like well we know you know we know austin's our first baseman already going in so that's one thing less to worry about now we just got to figure because to me this just like we said there's a lot like is laboratories going to be there still opening day or are we going to put dj at second base shouldn't be but he probably will you know what i mean and he pro and he probably will be he probably will be like he probably will be and they probably i see a lot of people talking about you know them moving geo and then putting dj at third which i don't like i don't like that at all i don't like it that at all but uh i did it i did it again i got i got a faulty um faulty wire here yeah but i mean i'll tell you this i'll tell you this uh i was thinking about this recently the last couple of days uh in regard to glaber if they if by some miracle and again i say miracle because i have it i still have it really low on my list of possibility but if by some miracle they end up with carlos correa i do feel a lot better about gleber tourists and i'll tell you that second base yeah yeah because he is not going to be able to pull that [ __ ] with korea over there he shouldn't be like that correa is not going to have that [ __ ] not not running not hustling into first base not running balls out errors and [ __ ] like correa is not gonna have that he would be an amazing influence for somebody like labor tourists he might he might unlock that potential in clever tourists that they've been trying to sell us all for years fire under his ass taurus is worrying me that he's headed down to gary sanchez's path very quickly i remember i i said it uh it was towards the end of the season it might have been by the deadline that i was like he's really working me on that he's too comfortable he's got this he's got completely something wrong there too i don't know if he's with management too that just lets him lets him do the [ __ ] he does i don't know but um that's all goes with leadership too and chemistry in the clubhouse and whatever that looks like um that the yankees obviously need to work on they they don't design that he didn't listen to the hitting coach at all no that much no that much was obvious tim's came don't worry about it and said it like yes this guy you know doesn't really stick to the uh the approach that we come up with but it's crazy because i was looking at videos of him you know early on in his career and i was just like geez like i just look at his swing and i'm just like what happened it just got it got so much low too how did you lose like like because his swing early on a thing of beauty pulling ripping ball like whatever i'm like he would turn on a pitch very very quickly yeah you would turn the pitch very very you watch him now it's like a labored swing it's labored he's completely off balance he's very very different grounded out to second base all the time little weak pop-ups barely out of the infield i'm like what happened what happened i don't know i mean yeah he's working on his hitting don't get me wrong i know some of you guys are watching this well he's been working on his hitting with judge yeah i saw the videos too friggin batting cage doesn't do much for me that's my thing i'm like what do you guys think a lot of baseball players do all off season you really think they go home and sit on the couch and and watch netflix all day no some of them are freaking games some of them might but most of these guys have been doing this their entire life so guess what their offseason requires around doing stuff with baseball i was happy i love when they see that stuff like oh my god look he's working out oh my god guys they play major league baseball you know you want to try to stay sharp to a degree he better be working out no i don't the only thing the only thing the only thing that i will say about that that i was happy to see was that that that's probably the first time i saw him in the off season working with judge and i was like that's who you need to be working out with yeah that's true if you're going to work out with anybody that uh it's i'm not saying that oh him and geo is not a good no they're good pals and friends or whatever but whatever geo's approach is to hitting he can afford to do that labor cannot quickly reconnect he needs to be with somebody like judge who's gonna get him to that laser focus or whatever because there's some i'm telling you and that's why like i said like oh yeah you end up with somebody like korea and i know correa will he will be on glaber torres ass from day one to the end of the season he won't let that kid rest he will not let that kid rest he makes a mistake you'll see it he'll call him out in the dugout he'll call him out on the field but what the [ __ ] he'll be getting those looks on the field and everything yeah yeah yeah it'll be it will be it will be something but i think i think that's how you get the potential that you need to get out of labor because that's tough that's the way that we got it out of gary's tough love works tough love to work for some reason we were told that um you know boone was just meant to be a therapist and he's not allowed to apparently do any of his other [ __ ] so that that's dr melfi that's all he's supposed to be is dr melfi and that's it so it is what it is you know the yankee off season is underway we'll see what happens um i do want to talk about the first hall of fame ballot that's been released um by jack mccaffery who released the first hall of fame ballot today may i just say this real quick these people shouldn't deserve votes so let me just read you guys some of the names that are on this barry bonds roger clemens todd helping tory hunter andrew jones jeff kent um joe nathan david ortiz justin morneau tim lindsecum john papa bond jake peavy andy pettit manny ramirez alex rodriguez scott rowland jimmy rollins kurt schilling is last year gary sheffield sammy salsa mark tashira omar visquel vasquel and billy wagner this guy here's the guys you heard all those names here's who we voted for bobby abreu todd helton ryan howard andrew jones jeff kent jimmy rollins jimmy [ __ ] rollins and omar vizquel this guy has a hall of fame vote this is how this is literally one of the dumbest ballots i have ever seen this is worse than the dude who left jeter off the ballot and we're gonna see a bunch of them we're going to see a bunch of them like this now the only one that i almost agree with that could potentially be jeff kent i agree with jeff ken what about andrew jones i agree with jeff kent um i mean all the andrew jones defense counts let me tell you something he's one i'll give him the center i'm going to be i'm going to be i was going to say i'm going to be lenient i'll give him i'm i'll give you omar vesquel for sure all right i'll give you jeff kent i'll give you andrew jones bro my man voted for jimmy rollins jimmy rollins i'm not you know and yo no offense i love jimmy no offense oh fema come on i'm not voting for jiminy rollins especially not like my thing is how you vote for jimmy rollins and not gary sheffield yeah that means like where does your brain like where does your brain go that you're like players on there not not gary how do you vote bobby or brady i don't care if they took more steroids than a horse stakes bro how do you vote how do you jimmy rollins over alex roger matter of fact let's take the several years away over scott rowland um he didn't vote he didn't vote for scott rowland you got a better case for scott fam you got a better case for billy wagner being one of the best clothes of all time this is crazy because this is gonna get so this is gonna be so bad i'm looking at this and i'm just like look are we missing someone jimmy rollins i'm about to look up jimmy jimmy i'm today i'm looking like i'm looking like this and i'm just i'm just looking at i'm just like you know i see i know what i know what the problem is here look um i may have an mvp award it's current it's before career hitter 2 400 hits i remember he won the one mv i know he won this is not a hall of famer yeah one two three four four gold gloves one two three this is a good rea a good a very not even fair i won't even say very good this is a very solid major league ball player bernie williams was borderline hall of fame this is a very solid ball player bernie williams was way better than jimmy rollins oh not even come on i mean come on way better than jimmy rollins and people have no problem telling us that bernie williams wasn't even he shouldn't be that's why he's not a part of the core four and he wasn't important and all that [ __ ] don't give me that um he's a career 297 hitter i'm like don't don't give me it people swear bernie williams 297 he almost had 300 home runs as a center fielder bro these are the same people who tell us that batting average doesn't matter and those other nonsense i don't even listen to them anymore jimmy my biggest problem my biggest problem with this ballot it's not even going to be what most people think it is because the steroid stuff and everything yeah i'm i'll give you my opinion on that my biggest problem is this is it's kurt schillings last year and you writers are going to leave him off the ballot because of his political views because of his political views and i hate that i'm i hate that i have to do this as a yankee fan because like curt schilling was the bane of my existence for a long time like when he was on arizona when he was on boston like i don't like kurt schilling as a player because he didn't do anything but hurt me but i'll be damned if i sit here and let you guys leave him off the ballots because of his political views i don't see what the hell that has to do there has nothing to do with it what he did on a baseball scene nothing at all yeah what he did on the baseball field now i guess i could say this was a criminal if he was a criminal or something well on top of it murdered people well on top of it too there was never nothing on the base before while he played that was political no or nothing on a field where you looked at i was like oh my god he made a remark like that's disgusting that's what i'm saying he never did nothing to disgrace himself as a player this is what i'm saying but no he comes out and you know he supports somebody people don't like and all of a sudden it's like now you can't get into the hall of fame after the career that kurt schilling had like that's what we're going to do so we're we're going to we're going to keep kurt schilling out we're going to keep curse shilling out but you're going to you're going to check off jimmy rollins with a straight face i got over 3 000 career strikeouts over 200 wins he pitched 3 200 innings yeah they don't realize that you're not going to see no guys like this not at all you're not going to see guys like this anymore pitchers don't even pitch into the sixth inning anymore all right what this guy was so hated he couldn't even win a cy young award bro the man listen i i really cannot believe that i have to sit up here and defend curt schilling because like i'm telling you i would scream crazy things at my television set when he was pitching against the yankees crazy things i would if you would have told me 10 you know 10 years ago 12 years ago that i'd be on a podcast defending that man i would have laughed you out the room but i guess i have to because there's no sense anymore people are gonna they will comfortably check off jimmy freaking rollins and overlook kurt schilling in his last year on the ballot so he's going to fall off the ballot because you don't like his political views and but but nobody nobody can explain to me how that how that affects what he did on the field nothing at all we were talking about this before we were talking about this before we went live with all this stuff like this kurt schilling to even think about it like i look at this list i'll pull this list up kurt schilling is a first ballot hall of famer not even and he already said he doesn't care if he doesn't get in he's like i'm just a student of the game i love the game whatever it is what it is he actually he said he'd rather be removed from the list altogether because he's like he doesn't think it's right it's it's stupid like there should be a bar set where you're just a hall of famer i'm sorry there needs to be like a standard have you reached these certain numbers there shouldn't be anybody that that allows them to judge you as a person so you don't get in because i'm gonna keep it real people are gonna say i'm getting political here they're a bunch of liberal supporters there are a bunch of liberal leaning folks who see that kurt schilling does not share their political beliefs and will not vote for him you're giving certain people again power that they probably don't fully deserve it's the same people that's holding all the steroid users no matter what accountable that either with or without steroids they should be in the hall of fame that's another argument that it's like i'm so sick and tired of having these freaking talks with people like you can say whatever you want you don't like alex rodriguez you would that's fine or whatever alex rodriguez is one of the greatest baseball players of all time he's a hall of famer i don't care what you think barry bonds he might be the greatest he might be the greatest ball player ever right i i don't care what you think about what he i don't care i don't care he might be the greatest ball player ever steroids are not the guy there was the greatest seasons ever that's that's not even comparable he had the greatest seasons of all time oh and then no no but and then people went oh but to stare away it tarnished and stained the game don't give me that [ __ ] bud ceiling knew all about that [ __ ] all everybody knew all about it everybody was turning their freaking turning a blind eye to it because they were selling tickets they were filling they were putting butts in the seats after years where baseball was losing viewership they were losing patrons at the ballpark yeah they were trying they were losing everything was the humble home run remember the um chicks dig the home the long ball chicks dig the long balls that was the big thing it was all about the home run the same the same wire and sosa i was just about to say that oh brewers he owned the brewers during the time i remember mark maguire will pull ahead of of sammy solis in a home run race sosa would go to milwaukee and hit five home runs in a three-game series he was getting fastballs down the pipe and i'm sitting in my i remember my father do something said no he'll catch up to him because we both we both love mark maguire but we love sammy sosa it was like a thing like whoever won one but yeah these this brought baseball back you know what i mean i remember sitting in front of the computer yeah when game day like first came out and no joke me and my dad we were so stupid we would sit there right and we would wait for the in-play run thing to pop we sit there like this home run home run home run in front of the computer screen and you know if you got the homework oh yeah yeah you know what i mean but that [ __ ] brought baseball back so the same cats that are getting crucified made all these people money and they turned that back on them and stabbed them in the back and my thing is my thing on top of that is you want to talk and sit on your high horse now as an organization major league baseball do whatever do whatever you want but then you know what i want all the right whatever records were set during the juice ball season i want those i want those erased well i want them erased do any of the astros will deserve to be in the hall of fame no it's confirmed they cheated that's not a that's not a rumor oh yeah but they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna get them i already saw somebody the other day telling me that jose altuve is a first ballot hall of famer or that he will eventually get into the hall of fame and listen i'm not going to be the guy who's going to fight against whether jose altuve is going to get in there or not if he has a couple good a couple more good seasons if he wins another ring if he does that and they want to put him in the hall of fame so be it i don't like the guy i think i'm not going to say that here's politically incorrect but i got you know some choice phrases that i like to refer to him as but it doesn't bother me if he gets in or not what bothers me is that if he gets in but you don't let in a rod big poppy manny ramirez barry bonds roger clement like and you don't let them in then it's gonna bother me yep then it's gonna bother it's gonna bother the [ __ ] out of me because the same way that steroids is a stain on their on their legacy forever i want 2017 to be a stain on every astros legacy forever even if we sign korea tomorrow i'm still gonna tell you guys this we can sign carlo's career tomorrow and carl's correa could play the next 10 years in the new york yankees and have freaking the greatest seasons you ever saw when five mvps do whatever if they if the hall of fame comes up and they go or whatever i'm gonna say well no 2017 happened it happened if that's the rule that you guys want to play by but the truth of the matter is that's not the rule they want to play by they they want to scapegoat these guys they want to scapegoat these guys for something that they were all complicit in yeah they were all complicit they all knew that all the owners knew it baseball knew it the players knew it come on it wasn't like some you know the funny thing is when they talk about um jose canseco yeah he was crazy but you released the book juiced and all that started all this nonsense he said it at the time he said flat out the guys they got under congress and all this stuff and testifying at the end of the day it was it was 80 of baseball including the minor leagues yeah so they're targeting the big guys because they were actually good ball players already and this is the issue this is the thing i'm saying that won the baton title one year i forgot his name alex castillo or something like that he did he had i don't know if he won the badass side but he had a really good year he admitted to taking step runs he came back and he was [ __ ] bonds could have got off steroids and still been legit mark maguire would have still been hit at 45 50 plus homers a year sammy sosa would have still been a good ball player a-rod hit 30 home runs at 40 years old what 50 as a rookie what are we talking about here like here's my thing you could you could inject people with as much steroids as you want i mean you want to try it we should try it let them give aaron hicks yeah yeah whatever the let them give aaron hicks whatever the [ __ ] bonds was taken i want to i want to see if he puts up a bonds a bonds-esque season it's not going to happen because his back-to-ball skills aren't what barry bonzas were his eye it was not what barry bonds was like these are things that you can't quantify but you want to tell me that no no it doesn't mean anything because he took stairways or whatever you know how many guys take steroids how many guys did take steroids they got suspended and sucked and still sold yeah no no but they want to tell me no no because don't give me that [ __ ] don't give me that [ __ ] you can't compare it's not the same robinson can know oh robinson cannot take steroids or whatever so now his legacy is targeting whatever well you know what robinson was taking steroids with milky cabrera why wasn't milky cabrera as good as robbie cano right melky cabrera went on to have what 102 decent two or three decent years all together they and him and keno were taking the same exact [ __ ] right the same exact [ __ ] and don't argue because there's people i know people can say oh no how do you know it's whatever trust me i know i'm dominican i've had conversations with people i know where they get the [ __ ] i know how they get the sh i know the name of the [ __ ] they were taking the same exact [ __ ] okay the same exact [ __ ] and they didn't have anywhere near the same exact results because one is naturally just better one was naturally just a better ball player better whatever right a-rod a-rod was a-rod since freaking florida broke i was about to say since college since westminster high school like don't give me that don't give me that like say you didn't like him or you didn't like his attitude and he was over here like walking around like he was baseball's playboy and all that [ __ ] i know you guys didn't like that [ __ ] you were looking for something it was the same thing it was it was this envy it was the same thing with bonds when bob's got oh this he's an [ __ ] sometimes he did something is that you see these guys you look for something to take and now you got it and now you're just gonna stick on to it and that's what that's what my problem is with the whole hall of fame the whole the whole system yeah you got a bunch of you got a bunch of freaking nerds you got a bunch of nerds who got bullied by guys like this growing up and this is how they stick it to them oh yeah well i'm not gonna you're not gonna get my vote you know the funny thing i'm telling you like when you look at that list i mean gary sheffield's a hall of famer gary chef is a hall of famers mcguire sosa schilling clemens they're all hall of famers and to to joke around and act like they're not because of a steroid usage at some point in their career because it's obvious barry bonza to take steroids his whole career it's obvious that most of these guys didn't take steroids their whole career that stuff's obvious but they were they were some of the best pitchers and hitters in the history of major league baseball but i mean leaving leaving that at that i got something funny to bring up because i didn't think it would happen this quickly marcus strowman uh stroh is gonna end up hurting his chances of getting a major deal no he already hurt them he's continuing to do it no no serious organization this dude is going to end up on the on the colin kaepernick level of things he really is i don't think he's getting out of baseball not even in the best way though so joe killer joe said earlier to me he goes pete what he's what's going to happen soon he's going to see the met signing golf man or siana visa and he's going to start calling them racist my man likes a post just now that says at stro no shocker the mets prefer the white guys over you what are you thinking in your mind nobody's taking here's my thing i would love to sit down with marcus stroman about you want to see what that's what i would say to him i would say marcus you are a terrific athlete a very talented pitcher very talented why are you allowing [ __ ] to affect the person you are you have serious issues my friend stay off twitter so you sign that and the fact that he's the type of guy that feels the need to try to shun regular everyday people you know how many people say look how much did you make last year man man the dude bags groceries he's 18 years old what's your problem you're a major league ball player go be a ball player no that's it anyone who disagrees with his line of thinking and that's like i think i said would you want him on yankees no no no yeah no i think he did whatever i also respond i said i would capital that as a hell no yeah no i don't want to do nowhere near the yankees what's that what's sad is what's sad is you could you could actually ask me the same question two years ago when he was coming off a four-plus era on toronto and i would have told you and i would have told you yeah i want to give german a shot because i really liked him in toronto and i said you know what he's a small guy i was like but his kid has so much freaking heart he's a dog out there he's tough i was i really liked him i was like yeah i was like if you would ask me back then i would have been like yeah let's do it then the whole thing came up when he was on the training block and the yankees were one of the people that people were saying like oh they're considering it they were considering it or whatever that year we could have gotten strowman we could have not gotten stronger we could have gone we could have not gotten i think you talked himself out of the yankees interest to be honest if we would have gotten him i would have been happy that year all right but he started chirping during the trading block and it didn't happen now clearly some people like people say oh well you know casper said that they you know they didn't see anything that they thought would have made them better and that's why they didn't make the move he happened to be one of the players that was moved he took it personal that they didn't say that they didn't feel like he would make them better or whatever clearly strowman wanted to be a yankee he wanted to be a yankee when he got traded from toronto he thought there was a there was a point in time that season where he thought for sure he was a yankee and then he realized he wasn't yeah he ended up being being a met yeah yeah but the talking and the constant chirping and yapping because you took it personal whatever it's just it's immature it doesn't endear you not i mean i don't care if you're if you endear yourself to yankee fans or not we don't give a [ __ ] you don't play for us but it doesn't endear you to just fans in general like you gotta look at organizations that are like clean you know i'm saying like you know organizations that just they're really you know on top of their the business of baseball if they're looking at you right now they got to really take a step back and say like but do we really need this head case here like yeah if he's is he going to get into an argument with somebody they're going to fight with the guys in the media is he going to fight with some fans is he going to like do we need that if if why do you think st louis went and grabbed steven matt's just like that or whatever some people say that st louis was still monitoring strowman as of today i don't think they make a play for him why why do you need that instead yeah i don't no i'm like um uh i i actually just this the first time i looked at like his likes on his i'm like i'm like almost in like a world of amazement here yeah people hate him like you because of your skin color i'm like that's not no no he likes a lot of stuff he likes a lot of stuff like that because he feels like does it give him like like confidence to keep doing this type i don't understand i'm very confused here and it's not see that's the thing is like i know like some people say oh of course you're gonna tell him that oh he gotta shut up but why does he have to shut up he shouldn't have to shut up he should be able to speak up not even i would say this bro i've said this about trevor bauer last year so don't come to me with that [ __ ] like oh you would you wouldn't say no i would because i said it to trevor bauer who is a white starting pitcher in the major leagues and a way better starting pitcher than strowman is i told him that he should have shut up last year when they were doing all the tweeting right all the videos because now it talks like he was actually oh yeah yeah but but i'm even though even with the sexual assault now it looks like he's actually right yeah so you know he was defending is that that he actually didn't do it but you see that that that all of a sudden i guess the right people got to trevor and when the whole sexual allegation [ __ ] came out that he was talking talking talking somebody must have got them and say you know what yup just be quiet stop talking stop or whatever let everything play out and then you'll be able to come back with it and now if he does get fully exonerated and all that which is that what that's what it looks like right now yep now he can come back and say whatever the [ __ ] he wants yeah and he's going to because he already started you know what i mean he's pretty confident because he already kind of started yeah now he can come back and say whatever he wants and you're not gonna be able to say nothing and that's what strongly could do the same thing though what do you sit there and be like bro you're you know you're saying [ __ ] about like the biggest market in the planet bro i would have taken him out literally like he's calling mets fans racist he's liking post that says there's a there's a majority of mets fans that are racist he said that about the fans he liked it so writing on the wall stro going elsewhere it's a shame most of ny wants him there's a there's a subset of racist fans that screw any of his comments towards him not being able to handle new york which is false and he likes oh that's he liked that tweet also i didn't see that i'm just like yeah but there's a ton of them there's a i didn't know this there i i just the first time i looked at this dude's likes i'm like i'd want this dude nowhere near this club here's another one no no he can't wait for me to go out there and prove all the haters wrong they're only hating on you because you're a skin color all right what what what fans i mean who are these people it has nothing to do they don't like marcus strowman because he has a small man syndrome he if i was blind if i was blind i would have a problem with marcus it's it's the attitude it's the attitude it's the attitude and that and i'm not about guys like tory hunter exactly no dory hunter talked about um there not being enough black players in baseball he talked about he talked about issues but he worried about it the right way or how about this how about how about andrew mccutchen andrew mccutchen cause he was like they shouldn't make me you know take my my dreads off what i got i'm doing it but my thing is like andrew mccutchen has talked about there now cece's a bathtub about not being enough i have never seen them come out as like well the reason is because baseball's racist i have never heard them say that i have never heard them say well the fans are racist or this one's racist that they never there's things everything is racist yeah there's things about the there's things about the game that that are like how you say they limit the interest of like you know african-american kids to want to like come up in the game which doesn't make the game inherently racist there's just certain things about it that you if you made changes it would obviously appeal more if you made the game more accessible to people you know of african-american descent and inner cities and things like that or whatever you would be able to get more there's a lot of things like that there's a lot there's a lot but to say that oh it's like no no that's that's that's not true like cece sabathia just retired from the new york yankees we love that that man is a god here he is a god like don't don't start with that [ __ ] whatever because you're that's a battle you're gonna lose that is a battle you are going to lose we love cc sabathia luis severino is way darker than you are marcus strowman there are people there are people in this new york yankee fan base who would die for submarines for real huge severino fans huge huge huge i love the guy's energy i love what he brings inside trust me trust me i mean severino will have the stadium don't let severino come back and be halfway decent he's going to have the whole stadium freaking shaking more than coal would more than people love him they can't get enough of it right they look what are we talking about here like what are we don't do that don't do that because i could see if it like if it was something whatever pointed or whatever but it's like no marcus they're they're pursuing guys who are gonna cost around what you're gonna cost but probably give them more that's what they're doing it's called business it's called business not to mention that the guys are pursuing aren't gonna probably talk as much as you do yep that's another thing that you don't wanna that he doesn't freaking own up to he never owns up to it maybe the fact that you run your mouth non-stop is turning teams off because i know for a fact if i'm saint louis if i'm atlanta if i'm not i don't want that [ __ ] yep but i care about the business of baseball and i care about what my team looks like and with the product that we're putting on the field in front of our fans and presenting to the world like maybe you don't want that that whole thing that you did a couple weeks ago we're like oh i'm never going to the yankees i'm not cutting my dreads i'm not taking off my do-rag um these tattoos ain't going anywhere you made a fool of yourself with that marcus you made it for yourself i i named like four or five yankees right at the top of my head that had tattoos all over the place yep there's nothing the yankees have no rule about wearing something over your hair under your hat luke voigt wears a headband tyler wade wore a headband plenty of guys were yeah the do-rag thing is stupid the du-rag that was very stupid blue rack comic was was ignorant on your part but not even you know that was ignorant well hey one of the things i talk about a lot is that i i talk about that a lot a lot of people make comments and they get called racist or this or that a lot of it is actually ignorance a lot of that's what it was actually pure ignorant racist is different when you're racist you can't hide your racism you know what i mean i'm not gonna i'm not gonna name a certain person out there right now that called satchel paige the great negro of his time which i've never heard in my lifetime to me that that's that's a hard limit of of actually somebody slipping up because there's tendencies there that's like calling people of color like well with the colored people over there yeah you don't say that nowadays if that that's natural out of your mouth you are a racist there's no way of denying that when you use in terms of the 1950s that are derogatory towards people that that's tough that's a tough one to fight especially in america when it was a black and white thing that that's a tough thing to argue but when you're like well marcus strowman is doing i'm like man i see it right now he already had another tweet in there talking about kevin goffman getting 175 million or so but strowman's a better pitcher so what should he get then and i'm like bro i can't wait to see what you signed for i can't wait to see who gives you money but there's what people don't understand is that there's there's a whole other side to this when it comes to business he's gonna make it about race watching when he eventually signs he's gonna make it a huge race thing he probably will 100 percent 100 because he's already making it about race judging by the tweets that judging by the tweets that he's liking but i'm i i couldn't disagree more i'm sorry i couldn't disagree more and just i don't know if you if marcus strowman ever saw this if somebody ever shows i'm a person of color right now i got my bright lights on me in the living room and stuff like that we're filming a podcast so i look a lot lighter probably than than but trust me if we saw each other in person marcus me and you are the same color bro like trust and believe a person of color just like you this is not about that it is not about that and i'm somebody i am somebody in the past who has literally said you know certain things like hey you know it's harder for you know latino managers to get to get gigs coming out of retirement and things like that when they retire off the field why does it take so so much longer for them to get shots to you know manage and to do things like that or why is it that like some latinos or or african americans will do really well in a peripheral coaching job but then they'll just disappear off the face of the earth yeah i i speak out and i'm very vocal about things like that we did on this podcast we did on this podcast yes we did we did it and we did we but we did it even before that when we were talking about tony we were talking about tony pena we were like tony fell off the face of the earth and he's an amazing freaking coach he should get a shot you should get a shot at something some sort of coach listen this is the podcast where we've literally i'm telling you all we do is keep it real when we said oh it could be oh by the way uh marcus i got uh children and a woman who was as dark as you two bro so in case in case you want to pick on in case you want to pick on the italian dude here you know you probably ain't going to go too far on that one family nah you're going to look crazy you're going to look crazy because his family is like but this is that's my thing it's like bro it's that's that's just it's ignorance man don't do that and and my biggest problem with this and i hate to go political i'ma just for one just one statement and i'm leaving at that but my biggest problem with this is that when you make everything about race you weaken the arguments that that are actually about it are true when you turn everything into a racist thing then it just seems like you're crying wolf and that's what pisses me off corrupt that's the pistol because there could be somebody out there in some sports league in some situation who's getting discriminated against because of the color of their skin being held down yeah that's right but not but not you but not you and when and when you do that when you do that and make your little tiff about race when it's not it weakens the person's argument who [ __ ] actually is about it and that's what pisses me off yeah because you as an african-american man as a person of color because you're also puerto rican you don't like to whatever but you're also puerto rican so you as a person of color knowing the struggles that people of color have you come out and are gonna make this about race knowing that there's people out there battling real race [ __ ] like stupid bro that's that's and on top of that and on top of that um i don't know much about this so it's me talking out of ignorance when it comes to marcus strowman but i would love to know what he's done for foundations i would love to know what his background is with inner city sports i would love to know what he's done in that area and the reason why i'm not attacking him for not doing it because i don't know i don't know if he has but somebody who speaks that loudly you should be leading that charge then you should be leaving that charge i've seen young black players yeah i've seen him do a couple of things so i'll give him credit there i've seen him do like a couple of couple a couple of things in terms of like giving back and like community outreach and enrichment and things like that and he should do a lot i mean so i'll give him me i'd be i'd be breaking my back doing stuff for my community if that was the case you know what i mean no doubt about especially if i'm getting a hundred plus million dollar deal very likely i mean yeah you better believe i'm finding areas um and and talking to people that we can build things there or or build stadiums or build fields have youth programs have grants for colleges so many different things that you can actually do to really assist in that in that process um so there's just a lot there so i just wanted to bring that up because it's funny because joe actually said it earlier he's like watch very soon you're going to see it start becoming about race and this whole thing that he hasn't had a deal yet and the pitchers are getting it and unfortunately that's what he's doing so yeah but he doesn't it's crazy like how can how you can be a major league baseball player a young major league baseball player who quote unquote should understand the game better as much or as better than anyone else and he doesn't even understand his own market the reason that marcus strowman isn't signed yet is because he's viewed as one of the better starters in the market the market never starts at the top yep it always starts in the middle or towards the bottom so they go there's teams who know that they're completely out of the running for certain guys and so they start at the middle or the bottom you think carlos correa is worried right now that baez is getting all this attention no because he knows that he's carlos freaking correa and he's viewed as way better than javi baez and so he is going to get his when javi baez is out of the way let the teams who are in on that level get out of the way you think robbie ray cares that the mets are talking to gosmen and that all these people are talking to god you think robbie ray's at home worrying biting his nails like oh my god maybe they don't want a cowboy on their team no right no cowboy gonna do in new york he knows that they're getting the middle tier out of the way they got verlander out of the way you got thor out of the way you got mats out of the way you got e-rod out of the way they're getting all these people all the way strowman is actually viewed by most of all most of all the baseball insiders and analysts as one of the better starters available this offseason yeah of course we already admitted that we said that already if he would just shut the [ __ ] up his market probably would be three times what it is right now but i mean i hate to break it to you bro like a lot of teams just don't want to deal with that i look if if i if i'm a team or if i'm i don't know i know if i'm if i'm in a big market i'm sorry you could say whatever you want he's not that good where i like i'm d i'll deal with it i'm sorry well you'll deal with it because it's not it's not it's not korea where korea can do all of that whatever he wants i was talking when joe said it the other day joe was like you know how long has he or he said something about i'm like well the reason why i wouldn't want it for five years is because i don't think he's gonna last because pitchers his size usually don't and that's not a knock on him unless you're like a pedro martinez but pedro is even bigger than strowman was so i mean your tim lindsay comes these guys fall off you scott kasmir's they fall off the small you don't usually see pictures that are what five eight five nine whatever he is um they probably got him listed like five ten five eleven but he's not he's like five eight you know pitchers like that don't normally last yeah i know he's not a gay he's not a gasser he doesn't throw flames but you know if he lasts five years i'll actually be shocked and if he signs a five-year deal if he has five good years i'll be amazed i'll be amazed and here's the thing most most baseball people don't expect marcus strowman to have the the last two projections are never that great the last two years that he had nobody's projecting him to do that over the next five years and yet and yet he's still projected to get a deal worth at least five years so what does that what does that tell you mark is that that you have value in the market that you've earned what you're about to receive again if you would just stop like it's like it's like you're you're like self-destructive like you you want to do damage to your own reputation right now because you're not going to damage the mets reputation right they just signed they just signed starling martay to a contract where he makes almost 20 million a year he's darker than you he's older than you like what are you talking about so they're racist they could have went and got comfortable then conforto's light skin why didn't they get comfortable they could have said hey [ __ ] it we're going to italian why not yeah no they went and got the best they went and got the guy who they thought was best for the job that's what they do that's what most teams try to do marcus i don't think it's a freaking race thing actually i thought the mets really enjoyed him in his time there and for him to start going down this path it's just like if i'm a team looking at him it's like bro this is how quickly this guy can turn on us do we really want to do this no it's a risk it's a let me put it like this this is the best way to put it right it's a it's a not needed risk because he doesn't have to do it yes it's an unnecessary risk but my thing too with him is i'm sorry i see your numbers you have a you have a couple of good years i get it i understand that but to sit there and be like i as a owner would bring in marcus strowman you have to be elite for me to disregard everything else i'm not bringing you in i'm not bringing you in i'm sorry you could see it however you want i'm not bringing you in i'm not bringing you with this added [ __ ] it's not worth it you're not worth it that's what i'm saying you're putting you're putting you're adding you're adding baggage baggage for no reason you're adding baggage for no reason bro and that's what if i was his agent i would have definitely bought it as soon as free as soon as free agency started out by listen marcus what we're going to do is we're going to log you out of twitter we are going to we're going to keep you up on on instagram but we're going to we're going to manage that for you we're going to put up you know pictures of you working out you know going out having fun but you know in terms of like you like you know going out there commenting on things or whatever we don't think that's the best thing let me tell you why they can like agents literally have this information at their fingertips i don't but if you guys want to google it this this this is googleable you can go and prove where a player's comments during free agency hurts their market and things like this is a fact i'm not making this up i'm sure his agents could bring this information to him and say look marcus we just don't need but no they let him do whatever keep his stuff and he's out there on twitter you know getting in fights with yankee fans or whatever talking about everybody good in this whatever mind you your team was way worse than the the yankees were a dumpster fire this year and when you put us next to you guys we look like [ __ ] adonises like i don't know how you throw stones when you live in a house that's that made of glass but that's fine you wanted to do that okay but that was just to be tip of the iceberg with your twitter bs now you're going after the organization that you just finished fishing for alluding to them possibly being racist because they're they're looking at kevin gossman and robbie ray over you why can't they just like those pictures better i don't understand it's just um it's just bad man it's just bad overall i mean like you said i if i was his agent i tell him flat out bro can't do it can't do it but you know well see um you know there's obviously a lot more to talk about this season um i probably probably gave marcus stroman too much time but um but uh yeah i mean probably gave him a little too much time there but i mean it is what it is we gotta we still the yankees still got a lot of moves to do a lot of moves to make um and when it happens it happens we'll be there to cover it but um we hit another goal today we hit 6 300 subs um i know we had a goal of 7 000 by january actually had a goal of six thousand by january but we've been rising so much through the ranks

missed out on mats all right we're gonna spend some money just a little scoop for you guys real quick just a little scoop for you guys real quick don't be too mad when kevin gossman is about to be a a met today just a little scoop for you guys real quickly my understanding is they've been talking deal for a couple of days now and they could very well close that deal today so kevin gossman may be the next new york met but we ain't here this is not nym news this is ny news you know what i mean oh gods to the mets that's what we give the mets we give the metro gods we'll talk about some of the deal a little bit though so they they pass another skit all you guys know what i'm talking about they're passing out the skit all we know that so anyway let's jump into the new york yankees let's jump into what i talked about in the original in the original thumbnail of this video the disconnect between the new york yankees and their fan base because i wanna i to harp on this a little bit because there's a disconnect and some of it's the fans fault some of us the yankees but they did a great job with pr the yankees have done a tremendous job with pr they have done a great job with pr they've done an amazing job on the public relations side getting the fans to truly buy in to what they're doing all right and if anybody does any super chats or any questions i will get to them as soon as i can but let me finish let me finish this up here first and then we'll get into all the questions we got time to talk today i'm chilling look you know your boys healing up i had my first uh uh um physical therapy i'm all right life is beautiful life is beautiful we're all alive we're all doing a chat today can't be mad about too much right so let's get into it guys i've been talking about this for a while if you have followed me on this page you guys have heard me for a very long time talk about the obvious disconnect between the fan base and the front office now should the fan base dictate every move the yankees make no of course not but the fan base is pretty knowledgeable on what this team needs because who pays more attention to than fans do fans are right there fans are watching yes we don't get the inside information yes we don't see what happens in a clubhouse yes we don't see the type of things that you know maybe we need to have a little more insight on to make certain decisions but for years now during these chats um during my regular videos whether it was me doing a video france is doing a video or be doing a video felix doing his videos doesn't matter who it was we've really shared the same message that the yankees we know what they need to do but the yankees have not done it and we're kind of seeing that trend in that direction today i would say and you guys tell me if i'm wrong or not i would say roughly 70 percent of the fan base wanted aaron boone gone because they have felt he is not the proper manager for this club what do the yankees do to start the offseason boom bring aaron boone right back and they tell us to our face he's one of the best managers in the game they have told us to our face he's not a puppet they have told us to face analytics or not making all the decisions they have told us to her face well you know ask brian i told him you go out there brian you go out there and you get joey gallo even if we go over what do the yankees do brian cashman comes out and goes no you know we stayed under the luxury tax we gave up some more guys that he pay everything we stayed under so not only is there a disconnect between the team and the fan base there's a disconnect up top we also heard i'm just gonna throw quotes at it because this is so damn obvious now we have also heard brian cashman come out and go well um no aaron knew aaron boone knew before he signed here that phil nevin his best friend was gone aaron boone comes out 20 minutes later and goes well if i knew that i don't think i would be here right now what excuse me sir and what are we getting again this off season we are getting the same exact messaging once again we're being told guys we will spend all the money in the world we'll do we got there is no limits now by all means should the new york yankees come out and say we're not going to spend of course not because you don't know what could fall to you but there is a severe disconnect among this club and its fan base the fan base i've been saying for years we need some speed we need athletes we needed a lefty batter so which brian cashman did go do we need versatility we need guys who go first to third guys remember let's get those likes up i want to try to hit 200 likes while we're in here right now we're about we're about to hit over 60. got almost 200 people in here so let's get those likes up and share please share greatly appreciate it but that's where we are we got the fan base feeling that we know what this team needs to do but they have not done it the fans have had an idea of what this team needs to do for years now i'm not talking about this off season and we're going to get to this off season right after this but there is a major disconnect here how do you fix that i don't know they've told us analytics isn't playing the pure role of everything here but it's obvious it is it's about as clear as day it's about as clear as day and unfortunately you have a lot of the fan base who has bought into this idea you have a lot of the fan base who has bought into when the yankees will come out and say hey guys we tried it didn't work out they'll sit there and argue with you well they tried well the yankees tried they went out there to get somebody so with that being said let's talk about the fan base a little bit and where we are as a whole because i've seen this message a lot yesterday black friday wasn't too much of a black friday shopping in a sense of saving for the new york mets they go out there they make multiple moves escobar connor and of course starling martay who was the big drop of the night the cherry on top of the knife for the new york mets and i see many comments and many tweets by yankee fans saying all the yankees aren't gonna spend that much money oh but he's 33 years old oh but the yankees didn't they weren't really serious about him were they this this that that is the part of the fan base who will never dare to put enough pressure on this ball club where it needs to be and unfortunately that mindset and that idea is what the beat riders are also pushing the majority of them it's what the yes network tells you it's what all the wfans and all the stations out there talking about the yankees that have a platform we're not gonna do that here now by all means if we have a teammate who feels that way they're allowed to do what they want they're allowed to come on ny news and say it because that's their realness that's what they really believe in that's okay i'm here to tell you what pete's realness is ny news real talk for the real fan real talk for the real fan that's what you're always gonna get here so when i'm told and i'm looking at these comments dude is 33 years old you wouldn't give him four years because he's too old have you seen martay's body type have you seen marte's body type fam if you think 19 million a year for stalin marte is a bad signing you're out your freaking mind and if you also have the idea that that's out of the range for the yankees they go like another club i gotta keep it real with you for a second if 19 million is too much for the yankees to get an elite center fielder great speed great shape great defense great good arm great speed lead off hitter he checks every single box if you guys remember i talked about the video the other day that will never happen of course cedric mullins but i talked about it because it was news and it's exciting and it would make sense those are the type of guys that check every single box the yankees and yankee fans feel it was too old he was too old he was too old because apparently yankee fans have forgot that we are a win-now team yankee fans have forgot that we need to win a world series yesterday and when you lose that mindset you have now given in to new ownership you have now given in to the hal steinberg and new york yankees you have now given in to being mediocre you have now given in to the excuses you have now given in to second third fourth and fifth place that's what you have now given into so by all means by all means does this really affect the yankees in a major way that they can't have a good offseason no no so maybe there is a slight overreaction and that's okay guys here's another thing here's another thing folks and this is something that a lot of yankee fans love to tell people you're overreacting sure the yankee fans they're allowed to yankee fans are allowed to overreact we go to a ball game and it's like going to disney world we have every right to overreact not me personally because i i don't look am i upset about marta yes i think the yankees could have made that deal i think they could have went a different route but that's what i talked about uh plan one a two a three a c a four a a one one a one b one c there's a lot of different plans the yankees can do to have a terrific ball club for 2022. that is where my problem comes in because again yes is getting martay something where the yankee fans should just be overly angry about or overly mad about or be so upset that they feel like nothing could work is that is that potentially something that the yankees could look at and say this is is something that uh um nothing we do now is gonna work because the mets got martay so oh no we're in trouble no and that is not the way you should run your organization so i understand where some of these yankee fans go guys you're overreacting that's okay but to make the little minor excuses that you're seeing yankee fans make is horrible it is horrible it's pathetic it's terrible you cannot do that let me tell you why and let's get into what the yankees may or may not do we'll also start getting into your guys question so i'll start answering your guys questions and go from there because here's the problem okay do you guys remember and i was talking to my good friend rob before this do you guys remember when aaron boone had a press conference and he was explaining that um g and carlos stanton is a unicorn because and i'm not even making a joke out of this i know i make a joke about the unicorns but stay with me for a second he was making the point that giancarlo stan has it all the guy does everything he could do everything he's like a unicorn he's like that guy he's magical when he's hot he's magical he's he's something else to watch that's the yankees franchise guys this is what bothers me that's the yankees franchise their franchise is a unicorn in that sense not unicornios they're not gonna get hopefully not eating unicorn ears all year that is the new york yankees organization let me explain to you they got money no matter whether hal says it or not they got money they got prospect capital a ton of prospect capital they got everything as a general manager when you go to the new team like the yankees you get look we got money to spend we got prospects to deal we need to fix a few positions and then on top of that on top of that oh you have an unbelievable stock pile of free agents and players that are available via trade think about that for a second again repetitive pete here but you got one a one b one c one d one e one f one g blah blah blah blah blah blah let the wall keep going and have a different plan and it's gonna end up good better than how you started in 2021 that's the problem that is my issue you need to be aggressive here you know when you hide in the bushes so to say do you understand when you when you when you duck for cover because you're looking over the safari you're the lioness you're ready to prowl and hunt you're looking you're waiting you're ducking you're waiting for something to get closer to you if you're doing that for the big catch cool and i'll play devil's advocate here maybe that's what the yankees are doing maybe that's what the yankees are doing because let's let's be real let's look at the whole picture marcus simeon isn't signed seeger is not signed corey is not signed and story's not signed the mariners just got frasier teams are making moves right for the yankees very much you can sit low you could beat a lioness here right you could prowl you could say oh look at this look at this that buffalo's getting close whatever the hell they eat and then boom hope you're not wearing headphones i was probably loud you could sit there and wait you could sit there and wait but that's for the big fish that is for the big fish the yankees can't just sign a big fish to say that's it that's an off season can not work that way seeger makes the yankees a little better but he doesn't do much correa makes the yankees better but he doesn't do much story and simian make the yankees better but it doesn't do it all these cats are out here posting videos of aaron hicks looking like an old man instead of feel making a dive hey look at this guys oh we got a centerfielder baby you guys buying the [ __ ] oh no this cat's out here posting videos of aaron hicks fan aaron hicks doubles in the gap to left field he sucked the bat out and the ball barely went over to do attack should have been should have been caught in center field you saw the route he took on that ball he looked like [ __ ] my man looked like he gained 28 32 pounds and it's slower than he was before he came back hey you cat these cats are listening to these fools they're bragging about it look at our center fielder are we doing what are we doing and these same cats are saying martay's too old these cats are telling you aaron hicks is better than morty these cats are telling you you not me you these are the cats you guys are subscribing to oh let me run let me write these guys quick they're the best oh my god oh let me go buy their [ __ ] oh oh these are the cats you listening to this is why ny news is doing what it's doing because enough is enough of the [ __ ] these cats are pushing aaron hicks on you my man looked like he gained 30 pounds in center field slower [ __ ] to the ball made a bad slide and made the catch and he gets a pound in his chest like look at me what are you doing aaron hicks but wait wait wait these same people fans or whoever these same people will tell you aaron hicks is better than mate and they wouldn't have signed martay because he's 32 years old yankees gave your boy seven years the yankees gave you a boy seven years and he get an aaron look no no disrespect hicks has gotten worse year after year he's gotten heavier year after year he's gotten worse defensively year after year i'm gonna get to the super chats guys i just gotta make this point because it cracks me up year after year that dude got bigger he's gotten slower all right year after year but these same cats to tell you stalin martay who is ripped from head to toe is too old my man still burning on the bases all right fam let me get to these questions let me get to these questions i can't i can't i can't it's your boy i greatly appreciate the super chat fam remember when you warned yankee fans that it wouldn't be a surprise to you if they they're cheap and didn't go out and help go out to help become better this offseason i do it's your boy i was i i said that before everybody else before was cool for the beat riders and everybody else to talk about the yankees not spending 300 plus million i was the only guy saying it because again i was told by four people including a fifth recently but i also said maybe they get a 265 maybe i didn't know that but they're not gonna do what everybody expected and not gonna drop this monster contract on anybody and i the people i was told this that told me this i truly believe i believe them deeply if they told me something right now i tell you that's how i feel about him ella yankeeking says well well well it looks like justin was right since 2018 cashman is bottom five gm but no justin is crazy no well i think you're justin i don't think you're right about that i still don't think you're right about that i don't think brian cashman is a top bottom gm i don't think brian cash is a bottom gm he's done a lot of good moves at the end of the day if it comes to spending that's not brian cashmere that's hal steinberg my problem with brian cashman is he holds on to guys way too long doesn't mean he's a terrible gm it just means he has belief in his system and that's okay but when you're the new york yankee you can't necessarily build your club that way you have to have you have to have you have to have a mindset of certain guys we want to hold on to but we cannot risk keeping them in the name of getting a robbie ray a cl um uh garrett cole you can't hold on to him in those type of positions it's the same thing right now when we talk about matt olsen you got yankee oh no i wouldn't do all that well you got to give up something and you can't be in love with prospects enough to miss out on that so i wouldn't say he's a bottom 5 gm i wouldn't say he's a bottom 5 gm i wouldn't say that at all brand especially speaking way too much facts right now brandon this just obvious [ __ ] you know what i'm saying this is just obvious stuff it's just that we are living in a time where fans are eating it up and that's the crazy thing guys if you don't mind please please please please hit the like button i greatly appreciate that we are about halfway to 200 of where i wanted to be so if you guys don't mind please go ahead and do that i would greatly greatly appreciate it and we will continue on let me just see i got a message here all right perfect um yeah but i've seen so many messages guys and i'm not looking to i'm not looking to i'm not looking to [ __ ] on any yankee fans i'm not looking to to do anything like that my whole thing for when it comes to everything that we're talking about here is this is you can't say not to saying that martay was too old to sign to a four-year deal i i don't under i don't get that i don't get that i really i really do not understand that at all to sit there and talk about marte's age and this a win now club what does that mean this team needs a win now this team can't sit back and go all right maybe in 2024 we're gonna win they can't do that they can't do that anthony with the super chat my good friend thank you i think i'm more frustrated that the yankees have been relatively quiet not so much at the met sign martay who would have been a great addition to the yankees hope something happens with them soon well that's what i'm trying to say anthony is that look i'm not i don't think any yankee fan should be you know saying oh the off season's over because we didn't get marty that's not it the problem overall is how quiet the yankees have been as of right now we stand to have aaron hicks batted back in center field and gary sanchez back as the catcher after what gary sanchez has done guys bear with me again for a second after everything gary sanchez has done you still have a fan base who will tell you they can't miss out on his production who is better than him defense fam defense is production how in the hell can you keep this guy as the catcher at his ball club i i i don't understand the mindset of many people in this fan base i don't get it i don't understand it people act like defense has no importance over being a catcher defense is production this guy caught a ball 25 friggin feet from home plate and never tagged the base runner this guy could barely block a ball in the dirt pitchers are probably scared to throw a ball in the dirt this guy towards the end of the year had three starting pitchers the top three arguably in the rotation not want to throw to him this guy got a pop-up call to him went backwards turned the wrong way went back forward and never even touched the ball this guy has not started the playoff game in two years was gary sanchez a rookie last year am i missing something have we not had more than enough time to see who this player is have we not have more than enough time to see who this player is i am completely utterly shocked by what a lot of this fan base is preaching to fans a lot of the people with a platform is preaching to fans you're not gonna see it on this platform i tell you right now we're just gonna keep it real with you you're not gonna see it here real talk for the real fan that's it i don't get it i don't get it me and francis said it for a minute we said look you're gonna know quickly what the yankees are really up to by the little tiny moves they make they ain't done jack [ __ ] the yankees could have went out there and said all right we're going to trade for a catch we're going to sign a free agent we're going to do one of these things just to give the fan base an idea of our this is the direction we headed as of right now fans have every right to be upset because guess what we're standing pat right now can a lot change of course we got the non-tender right here i wouldn't be shocked if something happens if they make a trade or two because again remember when you have the non-tender here if another team non-tender somebody that you want you got to have room for them so i could see the yankees make a move to clear up a little more space i could see that happening but the yankees really going to sit back and give gary sanchez more money for what and it's obvious the last few years we don't have coaches that have enough balls to say all right hold on this [ __ ] needs to work we don't have that it's obvious we don't have that so that's my thing we obviously have not had that we don't have that bring simeon to the bronx thank you for the super chat sign eddie rosario put him in center field no way in hell a contended team can depend on hicks to be your starting center fielder 100 love the content well i thank you for that my friend and look man that's the thing you hit it right in the that's why i love i love my people that come in these chats i love and look guys the yankee fans that think like us that want to win now we're the majority we're still the majority we're still the majority ny news is going to be so damn big it's going to make your guys head spin soon enough okay where the majority but you hit it right in the head right on the head the yankees are one of the only teams that will tell you flat out after teams that want to win that will tell you flat out after injuries all right well look we're getting severino back so don't worry about anything all right guys don't worry we think we think gary sanchez is going to improve he's worked so hard this offseason aaron hicks did well in in winter ball we know he's ready to give us that bats he's going to have a terrific season they're the only win-now team who will tell you that their excuses that you know is [ __ ] is what's going to make them better because guys again i will never change my opinion of this if the yankees go out there they eventually get a guy like sager seeger but they still have hicks and center and gary behind the plate what the hell is the point what the hell's the point what the hell is the point brandon then joey vlogs thank you so much for the super chat i appreciate it jonathan jonathan alvarez i'm not calling i got i got to put you on the spot he says yes we had a majority but jonathan you are a fan who goes all the way back with me all the way back to when i broke the news about gary sanchez nobody else broke that news i broke the news about gary sanchez about the team being upset with how he came into training out of shape he didn't hit the weight they wanted i broke that news but i'm asking jonathan because i'll tell you why jonathan was a huge gary sanchez fan i bet jonathan doesn't want him behind a plate in 2022. jonathan has had enough and jonathan you can throw it in the chat and darius darius glover my good friend he said the non-tender deadline is tuesday to 30th that is right tuesday to 30th so it wouldn't shock me to see the yankees make a move or two before that but jonathan knows jonathan was a big fan he was a big fan of gary he he he remembers all my videos he remembers all of them many people in here that go back with me you know three or four years remember all that stuff that's right it's so dumb that they treat guys coming back from injury as they were trade acquisitions that is so friggin true and that's what the yankees do the yankees have done that for a minute now brandon and joey vlogs i greatly appreciate that my friend yankees need to fix the issues and get a first baseman and a shortstop who can provide uh provide defensive defensively and offensively it's not how if not how should sell the team yankees need to fix the issues to get a first baseman in the shore someone can provide yes 100 true 100 true and that's the thing man the yankee fans know what's up yankee fans know what's up yankee fans know what's up they know what needs to happen we all know what needs to happen we know what needs to happen it's that simple we understand that the problem is going out and doing it so when yankee fans sit back again and they're saying oh we didn't sign marte oh boohoo to the fans who upset guys it's not about the fans being upset it's that we have a lot of [ __ ] to do we have a lot of [ __ ] to do if signing seeger is all we had to do then all right this would be me right now yeah guys you know um something's gonna happen give it a little time don't be panicking it's all right you know it's only it's only uh it's not only about to be december don't worry about it guys it's all right things will happen that would be me right now but that ain't what this team needs and everybody knows that this team needs a catcher they need a center field or at least a backup they need a first baseman they need a shortstop they need pitching those are five main spots and you know the scary thing where is it at guys up the middle catcher shortstop center field winning teams are strong up the middle winning teams are strong up the middle winning teams are strong up the middle winning teams are strong up the middle okay can't have gary sanchez your catcher you can't have aaron hicks i'll be nice you can't have aaron hicks as the full-time center fielder and you got to have a short stop who at least can feel the ball very well you got to have all that if the yankees don't do that there's too much that's too much so you can't sit there and oh they're waiting in the bushes for deals no no no can't happen like that can't happen that way it can't happen that way it can't happen like that and you guys know that give me one second guys i just got a message i wanted to take a look at one second guys all right cool cool cool uh tyler i appreciate that the yankees are serious about winning the yankees are serious about winning if sanchez's catcher hits it i'm assuming you mean not serious about winning uh catcher hicks in center field and torrez's team period yeah i mean 100 no no i think i know what tyler man tyler meant not serious um he just missed that word there i'm pretty sure uh knowing tyler i'm pretty sure because he has the same mindset as where i've been but that's where it is that's where it is right now um i'm trying i'm trying to corroborate a rumor here that i just got from somebody else um hold on one second guys so i i just got a i'll wait to corroborate it a little more but my understanding is somebody just said that the yankees actually and not somebody but i obviously don't want to say who the person is but um i just got a message saying that the yankees have actually talked to the braves about dansby swanson so i don't know how much legs that has i don't know how realistic that actually is but um give me a second and we will i want to corroborate that with a few other people first before um we go anywhere else with that but my understanding is that the yankees have have had a conversation i don't know how much it is but i've had a conversation about dansby swanson let's go to the super chat ro thompson the family right here the problem is the yankees have a plethora of issues and it appears as if they aren't operated with any sense of urgency that's it raw raw you hit it right on the head that that's it that's the thing right there you could be the lioness you could wait for the prey to get close you could wait for the slick move but not when you got five or six moves you got to make not when you got that many not when you got that many jonathan alvarez family from way back in the day i wish sanchez nothing but success but it can't be on this club yankees need to prioritize a defensive first catcher i'm over it jonathan i'll pat myself on the back i'll pat felix on the back and tell you guys that we've said it for years now because we have that that's not even taking credit for get credit i don't care about credit it was obvious it was obvious to me back in the day when i heard what i heard i was like oh [ __ ] they got a problem here and if you don't believe me you could go back to i think it was mlb.com scouting report on gary sanchez before he got there right before he got there my understanding of it was that even in a scouting report i read it recently this is before he came up and did what he did in the in the scouting report excuse me and the scouting reporter even says they don't know if he could consistently stay at catcher because of his work ethic or wanting to be a catcher the actual heart of wanted to be a catcher playing that position there was rumors that even then he wouldn't do it so we'll see yeah guys i'll be honest with you like i said before i'm i'm not gonna tweet that out as of right now just because i haven't cooperated with anybody else but the person who told me is is usually very very spot on so again that could just be a hey we want to check in to see what's available what options we have is it a possibility it could be one of those but that's again something that gm's do doesn't mean there's loads of interest it doesn't mean it's something that could happen but that that's exactly what a gm would do that's the type of moves gm's look to do you know you you figure out what's out there and what's a possibility so i'm sorry i'm just messaging back real quick um but again that's where it is and guys we have almost 300 people in here can we please get those likes up i would love to hit 200 today um i would love to hit 200 today while we're in here we probably got about 20 or so minutes to go and we will go from there sanchez bat aged 12 years in three years yeah there was there was definitely a little bit concerned there uh my concern is that cash probably not even on the hot seat considering they let him yeah i mean you know it's almost like family my understanding is and again i get some information on that i probably have a lot more information come next week um after i get back um after i get back from some travel which you guys will know a lot about what i'm doing uh probably on thursday night thursday night is it thursday yeah thursday night thursday night next week um you guys will probably know a lot of what's uh of what's going on and what i'm doing and and some pretty fun stuff that's going on next week um but i should get a lot of good information um out of all that stuff but yeah i mean i mean those are the those are those are the concerns right now who do i prefer in centerfield reynolds and mullins either one of them if that was the case either one of them could tell martay i would take him in a heartbeat but look let me even send something back to you guys if the yankees came today and they said all right look um maybe we add robbie ray maybe we had trevor story with that being said here's what we have to do though and we also add a decent a decent catcher center field we are gonna have floriel fight for that spot in spring training so there could be a a a platoon situation where we make that work and i'm i'm very much okay with that i'm very much okay with that and that's the thing that i've been telling people i'm not the yankee fan that's saying we need to get correa we need to get rey we need to get all the top guys if we don't do that i'm not angry we just have so many damn moves that we can make in an off season where there is loads of talent available free agency and via trade and you got the prospect capital to do it and you got the money to make signings when you can do all that you got to be able to go out there and do it it's as simple as that it's as simple as that so yeah yankee fans have every right in the world to be upset yeah i don't think mullins could happen and i'm just keeping it real i don't think mullins could happen i i don't i don't think mullins necessarily happens i don't think it would one because of what of what it would take on the yankees side and i don't see i don't see brian cashman ever giving up what it would take to get mullins to the rival orioles and by all means their rival because the only team they beat up on is the yankees so i don't think brian cashion wants to make that much better in the years to come when he got a lot of good guys coming up so you know what i mean we'll see what happens there darius says anything big likely comes today or tomorrow or today or tomorrow teams have until wednesday however uh teams have to get physicals and paperwork all done by wednesday at midnight which takes time that is correct so you're right you're definitely right you probably got today and tomorrow to really get things done and then you got all the work to do after that so you're probably looking at the weekend to be somewhat popular maybe monday a little bit to go from there mullins is a one-year wonder i think that's a hard one to say i think there might be a little bit of an adjustment period but i wouldn't necessarily say mullen's gonna be a one-year wonder yankee fans love to say that about players i noticed that robbie ray's a one-year wonder mullen's a one-year wonder reynolds isn't that good martay is too old blah blah blah blah blah but our guys are great come on fam come on stop it stop it stop it jonathan alvarez my good friend thank you so much again for the super chat fam cashman and hal are asleep while the other team's feasting on free agents and yankees will get up just in time to pick up the crumbs left over it's concerning man like i said if you if you're looking for the one big move you could be the lioness waiting for the hunt if you are looking for the one big move you could certainly be the lioness waiting for the hunt you can do that you could be the lioness waiting for the hunt if you're waiting for that one move you got every chance in the world and every opportunity in the world do that if you got multiple moves to make you really got to get a ball you really got to get a go on it you got to get a go on it because guys i could i could go over this in multiple different ways and i'll do it right after i read this super chat from li yankee king hey if i ran this team i would have already traded dj hicks stanton chapman holmes lucky peralta rodriguez tayon sanchez voigt brought in prospects to help us and i would have offered one year 30 million a story but li yankee king that makes no sense and i got to keep it real with you that makes no sense at all you're trading all of your good players away a lot of your salary i get that but you're trading a lot of your plays that help you win now for one guy that's not gonna help you win now because of all the moves you made lord why did you burden me with this oh my god i had i couldn't pick i couldn't be older and talk about the yankees on youtube when the dynasty is i had to choose now i had to choose the yankees now fam you're training everybody you're training everybody to give 30 million a story i love trevor's story but you got to put him on he can't beat a guy what do you want what are you doing mushrooms oh my god why why do i do this why do i do this for the love i do it for the love i do it for the love of my yankees i do it for the love of my yankees i do it for the love you have our affirmation that's my affirmation fam you trading everybody and most of those guys you have to pay all that contract gonna have to pay most of those guys contract to move them and on top of that then you're going out to give 30 million dollars to one player what do you do jonathan vr would be a terrific pickup jonathan vr will be a terrific pickup my man on mushrooms my man is on mushrooms my man is on mushrooms my man is straight up on mushrooms he's hallucinating right now ed kemp manaya roberto perez modesty rizzo olson those are a lot of moves and and and you know that was the expectation going into this that was the expectation going into this well ella yankeeking has cracked my code i can't have him do a super chat and not answer it i can't so ella yankee king has cracked my code i can't be an [ __ ] like that i can't be an [ __ ] like that there he goes again ella yankee i also would have traded for heim yamamoto means signed rey signed judge and rizzo all that stuff's not that easy man all that stuff's not that easy so anyway i read it i read it lie i read it i read it i read it you got me you cracked my code thank you for supporting that wide news i greatly appreciate it jorge no no word on jose ramirez none none whatsoever no news at all jose ramirez i actually shocked i thought that would be i actually thought there would be a lot more rumors about jose ramirez but um no nothing at all yet so nothing at all yet on that one um let me see something here guys one second i just want to make sure i get updated where everything that i have right now um no that is nothing good okay all right all right all right all right cool cool cool cool um olsen bassett kelly marte is where i think the yankees are trying to shop those would all be terrific those would all be terrific those would all be terrific i don't even think hell knows how to run a business bro how do you throw how do you throw down like your dad 10 million to 5 billion he made a lot of mistakes how pony up you know it's hard look i understand one of the i understand you're in a big look i understand house thing you know you're in a big big shadow everybody expects you to be your father maybe you see things differently and that's okay so it's not about spending money it's about the way the yankees have spent the money so the payroll is still large but look at the way the yankees have spent the money that's the problem that's the problem that's the major issue it's not that the yankees are cheap or anything like that it's that they have spent the money the wrong way that's the problem the problem is how they've spent the money why do yankees not in on either floriel or suzuki suzuki i honestly i don't know much about floriel on the other hand i mean i would be happy with florio starting it's like i've told people before floriel bats low okay you bat him low in the order he has great speed he's gonna steal 20 plus bases i believe he's gonna hit 20 plus home runs because he got power like that to all fields plays a great defense has a great arm why would you not let a guy like this play at the major league level right now why would you not give him that opportunity over aaron hicks who is now playing winter ball you could show teams that look he's healthy he's playing maybe you could trade them maybe you could add a decent prospect maybe you could add a decent prospect and move on from tyler says sign vr who i would love sign seeger sign rey trade for olson midday madaya sign suzuki for center field trade sanchez get stallings in a trade you know that's a lot of moves there and a lot of different things that could happen but we'll see but but we'll see you know those are moves that could happen those are somewhat realistic a lot of those i don't know if they spend the money on both of those guys on sega and ray but they could but these are things that could happen so it's not like none of these things are unrealistic you know you talk about some of these trades and everybody feels like it's unrealistic it's not it's not necessarily unrealistic that's the thing that's the thing i don't see sure coming to new york unless the yankees blow them away and again guys i don't see that jonathan alvarez my fan my my my fam thank you so much i appreciate that man pete no matter what god is good and is always faithful facts that is 100 correct my friend that is 100 correct and i greatly appreciate that i greatly appreciate that um so let's see let's see let's see let's see let me just update this here i just got to keep checking my messages i am getting messages um right that's just my team nothing there nothing there all right cool um but we'll see man we'll see um yeah whoever just said uh gaussman to the mets per sources i don't know if it's done yet but i was told i think i said it once this uh once this started that gosmen to the mets is very likely i was told yesterday too they've been discussing a deal for a couple of days and a lot of people expected to get done so the mets may make another big deal today no this yankee team is not a world series team right now nowhere near it every other team is getting much better hey pete what would it take for the yankees to trade for joey bart involving gary sanchez well probably a ton because uh bart is likely gonna be the starting catcher um you know he's likely gonna get a chance to start um he's he's one of the top catching prospects in baseball i don't see any scenario where the giants give him up i don't see any especially not for gary sanchez the giants are looking to win a world series the yankee the giants are looking to win a world series so yeah adam king is likely just taking what i what i'm saying and and posting it because he's uh he's a little bit nuts he's a little bit nuts think a move happens before a lockout i actually do i do think a move happens before the lockout i do think a move happens before the lockout what move it is i don't know to be honest and to be honest rumors have been light rumors have been light usually by this time i get a lot of good information i haven't had much i got more information from other clubs than i've got mainly for the yankees so rumors have been light rumors have been light cohen's about to have another hold my beer yeah cohen's the type of dude that makes that makes deals like cracking uh walnuts and he just sits there down in peanuts and [ __ ] and he just i get him on the phone yeah go ahead off from it ah throw it up by 10. i just saw that it's actually the first thing that popped up my screen to yes network you know what your phone needs right now a little brick gardener that's what oh my god to me i tell you guys i tell you guys uh wow wow wow wow wow wow oh my goodness guys well with that being said fam marlins look marlins make i know a wonderful trading partner with the yankees the marlins make a wonderful trading partner with the yankees gary sanchez luke voight miguel anduhar and i know a lot of teams aren't sure about the dh international league but that's apparently one of the things they actually all agree on so my understanding is in 2022 there will be a dh in the national league that's not one of the things holding anything up that's not holding nothing up so the marlins and the yankees make a lot of sense look a lot of these dh types the yankees have could make a lot of sense to a lot of clubs he's just going out there and doing it so guys with that being said i am going to get about my day we bought the the live christmas tree i'm not though is it a live christmas is that what you call it the real real christmas tree you know we do everything real here everything here is real even the christmas tree is real got the got the real christmas tree yesterday so we're going to put that baby up today um everybody going to do that we're going to have a good time uh designated spitters will still be sunday 5 p.m we will do a pre-recording we can't do the live um a lot of things didn't uh didn't work up work out for that so um we will do the pre-recorded sunday 5 p.m designated spitters don't miss it and guys again you guys know december is already next week december is already next week so the major announcements are coming you guys will see the major announcements of what ny news tv will consist of again you don't want to miss it you don't want to miss any of it at all you're going to want to be there and lie yankee king gets in right before i end it and i got to answer this pete the reason i'm trading all the players i'm trading is because the window is shut and roster is aging and i also contend it and i also contend this year i attached prospects to hick stanton and dj stanton got a no tray claws you know dj's gonna be hard to move and i wouldn't move dj dj is a guy i think that's a win now type player for the yankees and yeah you just need one now guys man you can't just go out there and say we're gonna reset and the window's not necessarily closing this team got a two to three year time frame to still win they just gotta win now they can't consider winning in 2024 they can't consider winning the 2025. they got to go out there make the moves to win right now they got to go out there and make the moves the win right now simple as that so guys again like i said ny news tv announcements probably going to be the week of december 13th that way on that day you guys will find out who all the new podcasts are who's everybody new joining um the the other things we'll be doing on the channel membership is going to be

day i'll talk to you guys up tomorrow tomorrow sunday 5 pm designated spitters see you guys soon thank you tell me you

hey everybody what is going on pete samnetta here for nyy news there's a little rumor out there today saying that the baltimore orioles may look into seeing what offers would be for one cedric mullins now people are immediately probably gonna say uh impossible can't happen and i'm probably gonna agree with you it's probably impossible probably can't have it but it's fun to talk about so i'm gonna come here and talk about this because why the hell not folks you would probably be hard pressed to find a better fit for these new york yankees than cedric mullins he checks all the boxes center field yankees have a need lefty bat the yankees have a need speed the yankees have a need versatil i'm not versatilium sorry athletic ability the yankees have a need leadoff hitter the yankees have a significant need he checks all the box and arguably it's hard to sit there and say okay well anybody even has been rumored as available who would make more sense than a cedric mullins makes a ton of sense in the world if you even think about it we'll get into what it may take after but look at cedric melons real quick cedric mullins is 27 years old last year he had a 5.7 war 30 home runs 291 average 175 hits 91 runs scored 59 rbis 30 stolen bases on base percentage 360 slugging percentage 518 ops 878. this is one of the elite outfielders in major league baseball with everything he does and no i'm pretty sure his second half wasn't as great as his first but still just an absolutely terrific season for cedric mullins he was an all-star we know that um ended up actually being ninth in mvp voting he did also win a silver slugger award so if you're the baltimore orioles right now and you're looking at this type of thing for a guy like a cedric mullins right you're saying hey you know it's almost like brian reynolds in a sense is that you're sitting back saying he's available you know what i mean and you mean with orioles you know we don't expect that that we're very very close to competing you know he could be available but at the end of the day you're gonna have to really knock our socks off here to make a deal work that's the only way you move central malls and i tell you what for the orioles it's smart if you're the baltimore orioles this is smart this is a smart way for you to do business because if a team does come knock and go hey look this guy fits our mold perfect here's what we're offering and they throw at you you know maybe two top fives two top tens uh four guys overall maybe a fifth in the lower level and you're like you know what where the orioles we know we got some decent young pitchers coming up we got maybe arguably the best catching prospect in the game we see what um what's what some of the guys on the club uh did this year your mount castles your your haze your mullens we've seen what these guys have have done and what they could potentially become if a team goes out there goes look we got some some you know starting pigeon prospects that are closing in that are getting close to being there maybe we can work a deal around that cedric mullins by the way is you know it's not like he has some big salary or anything coming along with them so you would have just about every single team interested in this guy so this is a very very smart time for the baltimore orioles to consider moving him and even flirting with the idea of moving whisk again teams are going to throw a lot out so when it comes to the yankees cedric mullins would be a free agent that's 31 when he when he's 31 years old that is in 2026 so you'll have for 22 23 24 25 26 so you're having for four full seasons moving forward and again for any team any team at all that is huge that is absolutely huge for every team that is something that you want so when you look at the yankees you know let's get to it i'm first of all i'm gonna say this right now one there's two there's two things here one i don't think the orioles would be extremely inclined to say hey yanks here you go they might be but still if they look to compete in two to three years they'd still be competing against somebody they traded and made the other club better so i think that's the hesitancy there and two brian cashman ain't ever gonna give up what it would take to land cedric mullins cedric mullins is again what you would assume the pirates would ask for for brian reynolds so guys you know when you when you think about the new york yankees you got to think about their top prospects the baltimore orioles have every right in the world to ask for the top of the line guys from the new york yankees they don't have to ask for anything less at all they could ask for anthony volpe jason dominguez oswald peraza luis hill clark smith austin wells trey ceni uh uh uh luis medina davey garcia alexander vargas uh everson pierre who they just added hayden with nasa westnesski um oswaldo cabrera josh bro i mean it don't matter you can ask for whatever the hell you want if you're the baltimore orioles because again if the yankees did want him they got to knock your socks off and first of all at the end of the day i don't see him doing it when we talked about on a couple of lives and on designated spitters when we brought up the idea of a brian reynolds trade we immediately said well you know i would give jason dominguez up in a deal like that because brian reynolds right now is kind of what you hope jason dominguez could turn into um he obviously has this huge potential on his back it's a lot on a young kid only in a ball very very raw to professional major league baseball so he has time to develop and you never know how the development could go but again you got luis heal who i think could be attractive uh luis medina who could be attractive guys who are you know legitimate starting pitching prospects uh austin wells probably not so much considering they got roche ruchman rouchman whatever his name is but you guys know who's if you're any interest at all in baseball the orioles got one of the best catching prospects in the game volpe of course to be interested in but we don't see him going anywhere at all but any of those guys so dominguez peraza heal schmidt uh sweeney potentially medina uh ken waldechuk uh uh yo andre gomez garcia i mean it's gonna take four of those guys if you're the orioles it's gonna take four of those guys dominguez potentially heal medina and let's say gomez or smith i mean if it's me i'mma win that kind of guy i'm going for that i'm a win now kind of guy i'm a win now kind of guy that's the route i take that is the route i would personally take so i don't know about you guys but again just as a disclaimer so everybody doesn't get the pennies up in a bunch and go pee come on you know it can happen this trade probably got a better chance of happening than me developing wings and flying through my damn wall right here alright so probably not gonna happen i know the yankees and the oreos made deals before but a lot of you know britain and all that was was gonna be a free agent you know you kind of had to move him mullins the auras could be like hey you know offenses is pretty nice you know what i mean our offense is kind of nice out there we could keep them up there again maybe some pitching comes along maybe some decent happens that we're we're a decent team in two to three is it's very possible you know that's very possible so they don't have to deal nobody same thing with the pirates they got some of the best young prospects in all baseball getting very very close to the major leagues you got to knock their socks off to make a deal and i don't blame them if i'm both them i'm sitting back saying yeah we'll try to trade them no doubt give us you know four of your top seven four of your top eight then we'll have a deal right why not cause because if we can get for the one guy maybe three starting pitching prospects that are close to being ready maybe one of those guys is more of a serviceable guy the other two could be legit potential you know one two threes sign me up they're not then we'll talk but until then i'm gonna say he's not available it's the smart move it's a smart move by the baltimore orioles team that hasn't made tons of smart moves in the past it's nice to see him doing something pretty smart but cedric mullins would be the perfect yankee pickup he would be the perfect yankee picker for their offense that's when you're looking that's why martay day by day day by day by day by day starlin marte becomes more attractive because he really fits the yankees well and you know got a lot of fans well he's older well the yankees aren't a team that's looking to win in 2026 they're looking to win in 2022 and that's the mindset you got to have as a yankees gm is that you are looking to win now not four years from now because if that is your mindset and you're playing it wrong and you're not playing to your advantages which is money prospect capital money and prospect capital those are those are the new york yankees two huge huge advantages over the club over other clubs they can sign whoever the hell they want typically not on their house a little different and they got prospect capital where they go make trades when they need to and they got these guys that are closing into the major leagues also to help them so they got the best of both worlds right now they just got to use utilize it that way the new york yankees should be the marvel character the juggernaut that's what they that's what they need to be they need to be the juggernaut they need to just be able to run through walls non-stop break through everything go look we're gonna we're gonna juggling out through everything that's how we that's how we run our business here has it been like that mullins to the yankees is likely not happening whatsoever but boy oh boy cedric mullins would be an amazing pickup for the new york yanks and really would fit them just about better than anybody that's available out there so you guys let me know in the comment section below what do you think about this move do you think there's any possibility at all and if there is would you be willing to give up a dominguez would you be willing to give up you know two or three of your top seven maybe four of your top seven eight nine would you be willing to do that for a guy cedric mullen sending those guys over to who could potentially in the future be a rival baltimore oriole team even though the yankees struggle against bad baltimore real team so i really doesn't matter but guys if you have not subscribed please go ahead and do so for your notifications on so you never miss a ny news video again i am pizza manetti talk to you guys again very very soon thank you me

what is going on everybody pete simonetti here for ny news and as you can see it is off it is off so the rehab physical therapy process starts now six plus weeks six weeks or so um yeah a little a little beat up sore hurts um but hey i always like a good challenge so i expect a much better and stronger me over the next six plus weeks positive positive positive positive but anyway guys i want to talk about a conversation i had with an advanced scout who gives me a lot of good information on a lot of yankee prospects he does not work in a yankee organization got connected to him from a lot of other people but but this is his job his job is to know a lot of these guys that could face teams in the future that could come up and do some damage and no he is the the eyes the ears so to say and the guider uh of an organization that's what that role basically is to inform and let teams know whether it's they're playing against them whether it's trade value whether it's a guy that may fit your team down the line this is their job to know these things so i asked a simple question i said going back to 1996 when the new york yankees gave young prospect derek jeter the chance to be a shortstop now times are a little different derek jeter also wasn't in a time where free agency was you know 96 wasn't uh you didn't have four guys out there who you know will command a hundred plus million dollar contract somebody maybe 300 plus guarantee 200 plus on a few of them and be legitimate stars that can immediately jump into a team's shortstop role and become a leader or the star player team middle of the order bet not facing that so what i asked him was is there any chance that young yankee prospect oswal cabra oswal cabrera my goodness oswald perazza oswaldo cabrera just added to the yankee 40 man look out for him he plays shortstop third base second base anyway oswald barraza none of this is scripted always real at ny news guys oswald peraza you guys know i love oswald peraza i am extremely high in this guy and is nice to know that many others are also and not just in the yankees organization one of the reasons why brian cashman really feels like i don't know if i should you know it depends on what i'm what i'm giving up for this guy we don't know if he's involved in the matt olsen talk i would assume he is because from everything i've heard and you guys go back to my to our um to our uh chat we have eli who you guys know does a tremendous job on everything yankees minor league did a great job on the 40 minute ross to break it up news before everybody else and even just conversation that i've had if you're a fan of the channel you'll watch the designated spitters you see the knights at the round table personal videos i make lives i've talked very highly about oswald peraza because what i hear about him is phenomenal it's phenomenal so for the guys who don't know and i'll be shocked if there's yankee fans out there who don't know much about azwa peraza across the board in every ranking system he's either gonna rank two or three he'll either be ahead or behind jason dominguez and of course number one is anthony volpe but oswald perazza is 21 years old six foot about 170 175 last year last year look at these numbers guys 297 average 38 stolen bases 58 rbis 18 home runs ops of 834 on base percentage of 3 56 76 runs scored just an absolutely tremendous year for oswald peraza 26 doubles three uh three triple two triples overall caught stealing 10 times but stole 38 bases again um slugging percentage 477 across the board and as you guys know he went from able to double a where he was terrific to triple a he ended the year in triple a one of the things you guys again have heard me say a lot was really corroborated by the scout that i sent these questions to my question simply was this would the yankees not will they not do you think could the yankees give oswald peraza the derek sanderson jeter treatments would he put him out there and just surround him by some really good guys his response to me was oswald peraza could start a shortstop for any club in major league baseball right now he wouldn't need no more conditioning none of that again he could start right now with any club now he did say this if that were the case he would ensure that the second baseman is dj lemayo and not glaber torres the reason being you want to put veteran more veteran guys around that can really handle that position around him if you could kind of block him in with a giovanni or shella who handles this position very well and also did a good job of short stop peralta short and then at second base dj lemay got a lot of great voices around a kid who most people will tell you if they don't feel his bat is totally there yet the glove is he's smooth he's slick these are the words that i've said before and the words that he also stated to me oswald is a very good defensive shortstop and the one thing he mentioned is what a lot of the other shortstops that are available what all the money is available that they're not gonna necessarily give you is legitimate speed legitimate guide i could do 20 plus stolen bases easy now we know trevor story out of all the guys available is fast he's very athletic he compared him more to a story than anybody else available he said the one thing he thinks that he will become better than story if he ever became better than story is that he will make more contact than trevor story he's not a guy that needs to swing for homers to drive the ball out that's a gift he has he can drive the ball the right center field that a lot of people see as doubles he takes them over the fence so i asked that question for a simple reason with all the information i've been given i do not see the yankees dropping a major contract unfortunately guys this is no longer the new york yankees that we once truly loved and we still love of course but it's ran a little differently a lot differently if you really want to go into but i'm just specifically speaking when all these guys are available back in the day the yankees would have got them they might have got two of them they might have got two of them in all reality because they got a they could they could literally do second third or short and fill two positions if they really wanted to they could have done that with the mindset right now that we could potentially see correa go elsewhere and sager go elsewhere seeger leaving simeon and story as the potentially other big names that the yankees can go out there and get right i think story's a terrific fit if you go out there and add more pitching wise trades get a good catcher and all that but if the yankees were to say you know what we do have money we could spend on the the the yearly basis we don't want to get tied into it to an eight six seven eight nine ten d year deal we want to save that for aaron judge but we will do you know four five year deals maybe guys you know not at 30 plus million a year none of that stuff maybe we get some 22 23 24 25s in there the yankees go out there and let's say you know we think robbie ray and pitching is going to be key we feel like if we added um a marte in center field or if we make a trade of some sort uh with merrifield i don't know just to throw a name out there somebody that hits a little bit of contact moves guys over drives at the top of that top of that order a little bit gets on base more can run a little bit again starlin marte um if we did something like that maybe just maybe if we trade for matt olsen maybe just maybe we can get a guy also when i give it up haraz and then we can leave a peraza at short let him develop between two guys like a urshella maybe a kyle seeger they end up going out and get potentially i don't know i'm just throwing stuff out there and the dj lemayo maybe it's instead of trading a peraza to oakland they trade a glaber torres maybe they also get a pitcher in that deal so the main thing that i also asked was well what is the mindset of oswald peraz and he said flat out oswald peraz could come up to the major leagues and he'll do his thing he's just that type of guy from what he saw he just he's a professional ball player he doesn't see a guy that tries to be flashy he doesn't see a guy that that show boasts he doesn't see a guy that you know um um you know the saying that he puts his head down and he runs he's a gamer he goes out there and plays baseball so again i am not advocating i am not pushing for the new york yankees to just say start peraza what i'm trying to again come full circle here because the yankees made some good moves when they released the guys they released recently to add to that 40-minute roster they added really good players i thought stephen ridings would have been gone i thought ron martin mara kisio whatever his name is um who's it excellent i hate when i can't pronounce an italian name if i had it in front of me i could do it but i always forget it they added good guys ever since pierre we already know about oswaldo cabrera who i mentioned earlier in this video but if that's a sign maybe they do start going to the younger guys here maybe the yankees do say you know what we are the yankees yes but maybe we can also be like the tampa bay rays just in the sense that if we have an open position and if we want to if we want to add elsewhere because we can we can throw a peraza out there because we know we're going to add a huge starting pitcher we know we're going to add a big center fielder i don't think yankee fans have an issue with that at all it's just a balancing act the yankees can't sit back there and go we're not going to get these guys because it's too much money well unfortunately we didn't add enough so we'll just start some of our younger guys that ain't going to cut it that's not the strength of what the yankees should be doing the strength of what the new york yankees should be doing is that yes we can do the small deal yes we can make a trade because we got a good farm system and yes when it comes to big bucks we can spend it we got everything we got guys we could call up and play we got guys we can trade for and we have money that is the best you can have as an organization the yankees have it they just got to utilize it the right way the philosophy got to be the right way it's not that you spend 220 million dollars it's how you spend it that's been the issue with his ball club how they have spent their money we can pull players from this roster and go ha that adds up to 80 90 million for what and you could do that easy with the new york yankees roster so again i'm not sitting here saying a yankee shouldn't go get correa they shouldn't go get secret they shouldn't go get stored they shouldn't go get simeon you guys know i think story would be terrific depending on what he is i might try to offer him a big one-year deal but sticking to oswald peraza i confirmed with multiple people i know brian cashman said his glove would play up here right now his bat would the event scout i talked to said he would not see peraza really having an issue because of his intangibles because of what he brings to the table his attributes they're all there he said one it'll take an adjustment but he's made those he's shown him in the past he started off double a very slow he made an adjustment he made an adjustment that's what the best guys do they make adjustments they make adjustments he only had 28 at-bats in aaa 286 one homer but most people would tell you the legitimate competition in the miners is double a when it comes to pure talent there is more pure talent prospects aaa you have a lot of your your journeymen still down there guys that are kind of holding on to a last hope guys that are organizational fillers prospects too but triple double a that's why you see a lot of guys make the jump from double a to the major leagues because of that exactly so everything i hear everything i have been told if the yankees really wanted to go to the route of the derek jeter route with the oswald peraza they can do it they can do it again guys this is pizza manetti for nyy news hope you guys enjoy your sunday since there is no designated spit is today we should be back next week but guys tuesday night i'll give you an update there is going to be

have right now so let me know in the comments below what you guys think like subscribe share all that fun stuff talk to you guys again soon thank you i really really really wanna

what is going on everybody pizza minetta here for nyy news the yankees make a move today on the coaching staff luis rojas former mets manager will be the new york yankees third base coach i like the move um rojas is actually well respected around the game um the position he was putting with the mets was not a good one you know what i mean and a lot of people feel that um he wasn't ready to be a manager yet or in that situation they had him in it just wasn't the best fit in the world but as a coach all you hear is great praises about him and look you know if he can do anything to maybe balance some of these guys out work a little more in the infield have a little say in what goes on um i like the start of where they're going with the coaches that now everybody knows i'm never going to be happy with aaron boone unless he really changes the way he manages unless he gets a little bit of pride and dignity back in his system and is able to bench guys when they don't run or go over and pull them to the side and grab him and talk to them you know unless that happens i'm not a fan of of of the coaching staff because of boone but they could do some things to add some guys i think luis rojas is a nice start now i was the first person to put the information out there i was told that eric chavez also interviewed i believe there's a very good possibility of be a part of this staff um i my understanding is the interview went very well so let's see what happens there the other news on the day that got a lot of people talking john heyman reported that brian cashman met with the agents of freddie freeman and and freeman and blah blah blah blah blah guys can i just tell you a little spoiler alert real quick if brian cashman didn't meet with freddie freeman and co he's not doing his job he wouldn't be doing his job the yankees have a first baseman now who would be out of position but dj lemayo could play first base they are interested in their plan their plan anthony rizzo matt olsen most people believe one of those three will be the yankee third baseman but why would you not talk to freddie freeman and kind of see how he feels about new york would that be an interest to him what is it going to take why not have those conversations i mean if he doesn't then he's not doing his job as gm you got to have option a b c d and e gotta have those options on the table so i look no more into this than just that he was doing his due diligence and it's the right thing to do it's kind of his job to be fair so i know john heyman is out there you know looking for clicks and all that i mean i guess they do that right the inside is typically dude i just got met with this guy today and whatever um i mean i did it with patrick corbin so i put that information out that he was at the stadium they were meeting they had a meeting set up and um yeah so i guess um i did the same thing too so why should i do that to good old john heyman i love john heyman um but really guys that's it right now you know um all quiet before the storm maybe i think by friday we'll see something done i don't know if it's olson i think the yankees are very very deep in those waters i really believe that um i don't know if it's a possible maybe a trade that we haven't talked about much but um i think that is very very possible we shall see we shall see what happens there but um you know i've also had a lot of people dm me about what i said yesterday in the live and even i made the video about that you know i've been told by four people now that hal steinberg is not gonna go out there and do a 300 million dollar contract with a shortstop and people assume that that means that correa or seeger is not one of the guys said they think seeker could get less than three i don't believe that i think so and the way the market's going so eduardo rodriguez get paid today what is robbie ray gonna get justin verlander might get 20 million a year i don't know how but he might so gotta fix this mic one arm guys it's annoying um but we'll see what happens it could be an interesting week for the yankees you know they got some decisions to make with the with the 40 man and non-tenders coming up it's going to be a very interesting time i really believe that brian cashman is going to have to clear some space um that's only really done through trade unless you just drop these guys which would make no sense at all because randy vasquez is really good as well the cabrera is really good everson pierre's really good steven ridings is good i mean matt sawyer is good there's a lot of guys on that list that are really good ball players that the yankees have to add or lose in a rule 5 draft and you know i i think i think the yankees will make some moves by friday a move or moves i think they're also going to really start you're going to start to see the coaching staff close up too i think they really want to get that out the way i believe the next one could be eric chavez uh we'll see what happens there i know his interview went very well as i reported but um other than that guys that's the only update i have right now unless something else breaks you'll hear from me next time when we got some more information out there if i got information to share with you guys i'll do that until then tell your friends family uh yankee groups facebook twitter youtube uh twitch whatever the hell social media platforms are out there to make sure they subscribe to ny news so you guys get the first and everything that we put out don't want you guys to miss

oh let's do it baby you know come on come on fam fun fact about francis i actually lived in brooklyn until i was about 11. look at that look at that fun fact about francis i like that we should do that every now and then a fun fact what's the fun fact about me there's not much he said he said i'm not a fun guy another fun guy let me tell you something about pete he's he he he's not for the fun and games no he wants to get right down let's get the business that's it yeah that's that's all that's all there is to it if pete was the general manager we probably would have had three or four moves done by now because it's not about the fun and games it's like you know what i mean and on top of that aaron boone wouldn't be here we we all we all know that aaron oh you got me here you guys know that aaron boone wouldn't be here you know the most coveted manager apparently he'd probably he probably he probably would be managing oakland at this point or the message we got washington heights in here hey wash heights i love it i love it i love it i love it let's get into it let's get into it i see some questions on it guys like i said man throw those questions at throw topics whatever you guys want to talk about you know we don't care we don't care we're going to talk about whatever you guys want to talk about so if i miss your question guys throw it back out there so let's see where are we on the first one um i saw one here it is is seeger to the yankee still realistic or likely i say it could be both i think it's very well obviously let's get the first one out the way we're gonna agree with this it's very realistic of course we know that is it likely i kind of think it's up there i think it's up there um yeah i would say i would say seeger is the most likely candidate right now that's where i'm at i agree that's where i'm at and i said that too in my thing yesterday people were going like i don't think people listened they did my video yesterday you gave up so much information that it's like people went they ran they're running with like one thing so it's like yeah because i even saw a comment the guy was like um you're not a yankee fan if you want story and i was like i never said that i never see you you did you didn't say anything about wanting so you said that story is still a very real possibility which he 100 is yeah so like i said i've heard from three people so we'll see and i actually i actually sent some um some messages today so i hope they get something back but we'll see if that's you know if that happens and we'll we'll get to all that we'll get to other but uh speaking of seeger what's not to like you know what i mean there there is like i said there's pros and cons with everybody we know that you know um there's pros and cons with everybody we know what he does good we know what he does not so good we know he's not the greatest defensive shortstop we know if that middle of the infield is going to be him in glaber we don't know if it's him and dj like a lot more there's a rumor also that seeger can move to third base pretty quickly um the lefty bat is a plus we know that he makes contact that's a plus yep so there's a lot of pluses there for cory seeger that i like he's gonna cost money potentially over three maybe a little under three we'll see but um yeah i think like you francis i wouldn't be shocked one bit if the yankees signed corey seeger i put a i put it into our chat the other day uh just uh the guys we were talking i think joe or rb asked like where do you guys see all the shortstop signings so i i did a list i'm not gonna reveal my list right now because we you know i'm not trying to give everything out in the first five minutes here right yep but with seeger i still feel uh his most likely landing spot is the new york yankees for much of the things that you named already the lefty bat um but let me just to be to be different to add on to it right corey seeger off the field he just fits the yankee profile right we know that he does um i put out i put out a tweet thread uh maybe yesterday or the day before yesterday and it was speaking mainly about like correa versus seeger but not in terms of skill was terms like off the field profile like fitting the yankees and uh secret seeker just fits that profile if you look at him you look at the way he approaches his his work day in day out he looks like a yankee guy like that's you know i mean like he doesn't he's not ruffling very many feathers he's not you know giving you fodder and post-game interviews or whatever says all the right things and the whole thing about him not being uh you know good defensively has been overblown yeah at this point i even said that he's he's an average defender he's not some guy he's going to bobble routine plays he makes the average listen guys and you guys may not like this comparison or agree with it especially with everything that's out right there right now but in terms of like his glove at shortstop he's very reminiscent of a derek jeter maybe he's gonna say the same thing maybe better all right if we're calling a spade a spade he's gonna make all the average plays um he's gonna cover a decent ground uh there um he's not gonna make that many above average plays there but he's gonna make he's gonna make the average he's gonna make the house he's supposed to and that in it in and of itself is a huge upgrade from what we started at shortstop last night i was just gonna say that either way it's an upgrade at shortstop on both sides of the ball both sides of the ball now what um what i feel like is happening is that you have like you have different camps in in yankee land right now for the fans right and there's the people who feel like if i want correa to sign with the yankees i need to like bash seeger and bash all the other candidates yeah yeah that's not that's not true like i'm i'm a hunt and like i said we'll get to that later i don't want to even go into him now because i know that's going to be a good hot topic but i will say this my personal choice my number one choice would be carlos correa yeah but i'm not going to sit here and tell you that corey seeger is not a good enough option at shortstop because that's a lie francis i'll get this off the bat right now because i think we agree with this this crop of shortstops is so damn good would you really be mad about any of them how could you miss that's so here's what i'm saying we know i would always right seeger story correa simeon people [ __ ] on simi and how samia had a great you know arguments with me today so i'll tell you guys this today arby goes to me and goes he said in our chat he goes who'd you guys say out of all the players available who is the the what was some like who is going to be the most productive going forward and i said to be fair to be real with you if this guy continues who he is over the next three year span minimum simian's the best right now if you're going off for the most if you're going off of our most recent recent season now like i said i said if i'm looking at projection of potential correa yeah i'd say carlos correa has the overall ability to be better than everybody but for the long can't at all this guy no damn good simeon see i think with i think with simeon people are are underselling it a little bit i'm gonna tell you guys right now i don't i don't talk to very many people like i literally just because i joined ny news like by luck of the draw because i'm associating with pete and different guys i began talking to guys like hulk and all these other people but before they i never had a relationship with them but aside from what they're saying about seeger and correa simeon's market if you just put his name into twitter and like read simeon's market is very robust i would hazard to say i would hazard to say it might be even more robust than segre and korea because more teams feel like they can land similarly correct correct these same things going to happen with story the same thing is going to happen with story you know what you're not hearing much about him now but his market is going to pick up bro based on my video and guys i'm sorry for getting ahead because i know you guys are probably asking a lot of this stuff so we'll continue on but let me just say this real quick too the funny thing about story is i feel like yankee fans would be disappointed if they got him a lot of the yankee fans on twitter you see it like even in my comment section on my video yesterday i'm like guys all i'm doing is reporting what i'm told i've done that since i've started on youtube and i'll continue doing it yeah i'm not saying that this is the greatest option i'm saying what i'm hearing and a lot of yankee i don't want him are you mad you wouldn't want trevor story on your ball club why no they're gonna say they're gonna say oh well you know he he's a he's a big strikeout guy and we already have a lot of that in our lineup and i get it that's nice that's that's good uh it's good commentary that you stole from the mlb network from jeff fason and everybody else who says it but the fact of the matter is and i want to shout out reuben because he sent this super chat speaking about story awesome and guys i'm sorry to cut you off i just want to say this real quick guys we do have to get the super chats before anybody else because they go away so just an fyi if somebody sends a super chat we gotta get to it immediately because it will go away over time so if we don't answer your question resend it because we do got to go on with the chat there's a lot of people in here exactly no so what what reuben rubin said was the one thing i like about story is that he steals bases at a high clip that's something that when we're speaking about the other crop of guys out there story is in the elite end of that his speed is elite his base running is elite he steals bases another thing that's being i guess overlooked or undersold story is probably the second best defensive shortstop out of the crop 100 and no question no and it's arguable and it's arguable some people might not like this but it's arguable that he's the first best and i'll tell you why carlos correa did just come off winning a platinum glove this year you cannot take anything away from that but story has been elite defensively at shortstop since go since the moment he said go to now it's been elite not to say that carlos hasn't been as good but for carlos it's been a build up to now he's literally a platinum glove shortstop trevor story has like been so you know what i mean like it's like let's let's give let's give the credit where his dude trevor story he's not a pushover he's not a slouch he wouldn't be he he like i i the fact that trevor story could be a plan b just goes to tell you how deep this free agent is oh he could be a plan c yeah honestly he might be he could be he could very well he he honestly might be a plan c or d you never know exactly which is which was the other super chat that we got from anthony i think he said hey guys if that rumor is true of how not wanting to spend 300 million for either correa or seeger do they pivot and go to sign story well just to be fair so let me just jump on that real quick as i put that information out there my understanding of it was that it wasn't specifically story but that's the name that one person said keep an eye on um so it wasn't like three of them didn't say trevor store is the guy going after one of them told me story should be a guy we look at because the yankees had interest in them and a lot of the idea about them souring on him they don't believe is necessarily true because where the money would be the difference because i've said this before and you know i tell you what like if you look at that and again thank you um thank you anthony for the super chat um you look at a guy like trevor store and if the yankees say i mean francis you may notice better than i do what's his projection money wise under 200 million i'm pretty sure unless somebody blows it out the water trevor's story yeah yeah trevor's story is not projected to get more than 230 million which like 230 240 so on the high end and this is the high end that i've seen for projections the high end is 240. on the low end there's some people out there that think he signs a deal of like 185 million and i mean look if you can save 100 million dollars and again we're not making the money i think the yankees should spend all they want i think house should go up to 270 280 290 even it doesn't matter to me but at the end of the day if you add if you save money there and you put it to a robbie right you put it to a starlin marte can you imagine adding all those guys so that would be absolutely huge uh let me look for the next question on here do you see a shortstop coming off the market before december 1st that's from chris perez jr um i will say i'm gonna go yeah i'm gonna go with yeah okay i'm gonna say there's at least one big signing before the shutdown yeah i will say i will say i will say i am not 100 sure that it's a short stop um i think there's a big signing i think but i do i will say that i will say that there that a big deal could happen before december 1st i put i would put it at 75 chance one of the bigger free agents because remember there's not it's not just you know what we're paying attention to in the short stop class you have starling marty at center field you have robbie ray at starting pitcher you have justin verlander at starting pitcher you have max scherzer at starting pitcher you have freddy freeman who reportedly turned down an offer from the braves this week right they might counter with the right they might counter with the right number he might sign that deal that's a big signing like so i would say we're about a 75 chance that one of these big names signs before december 1st because some of these guys like i said a couple episodes ago they're going to want to know where the hell they're going in february and some some of these guys aren't going to want to wait like if i'm justin verlander oh yeah i'd want to know i could see i'm gonna and this may be a hot take this might not be a hot take to some of you but i can see verlander signing wherever he's gonna sign this week yeah it makes sense he has until what is it thursday or wednesday to accept or decline the qualifying offer yeah if he if he if he declines that qualifying offer at 18 million he's got to know that there's a robust market out there where he's going to get a couple years and the money that he wants yeah if the market is not what people are saying it is because i know a lot of people are out there reporting stuff but i haven't seen it like corroborated by some of the insiders right so i don't know i'm not going to sit here and pretend that i know what verlander's market is i've put out my own guesses but if the market is not what some of you guys are saying it is that 40 50 million dollars people want to offer him then i could see him accepting the qo this week yeah like verlander's he's definitely a case um noah syndergaard is another guy who could accept the qualifying offer kindergarten makes a ton of sense because i don't think anybody's going to blow him out the water and if you think about it with a guy like him he could be the best free agent starter next year exactly i guess that one year my i was i was uh i was super shocked that the mets even went qualifying offer with syndergaard just because like you run the risk of paying 20 million dollars to a guy who pitched like what was it like two innings or something last year like yeah that's really it's like it's it's it's it's nice it's a nice little payday it's a nice little payday for somebody who hasn't you know what i mean i'm not i'm not criticizing because the yankees have done the same if not worse in certain cases but you remember you gave him the qo and you gave conforto did they give comfort of the qo as well i believe so and they gave stroh the truth so it's like it's like wow like okay if you had to choose right who i'm who i'd rather like give that eighteen point four to strowman would be my god why because he he pitched for you no pitch right you know and he's pro and he's probably going to pitch again yeah now with cinder guard yes there would be teams out there willing to take the risk you always have to watch out for teams like the dodgers the padres always seem like they don't care what's going on they'll sign you but like i feel like the mets if they didn't give him the qo they could have found a way to like pick him back up in free agency so that was shocking but like i said he might just accept that qo this week yeah why not if i was him i would have been accepted i agree last week l.i yankee king in the house thank you for the super chat we greatly appreciate a fam yankees don't need to sign up big time sure stuff they have peraza and the miners yankee fans don't want to hear this but it's time to give the prospects a chance and spending money doesn't work for yankees so two things on that one i'll i think i can wrap this one up to be fair one starting some of the prospects i do agree with now who and what we can debate on there spending money doesn't work i think is incorrect we've seen the yankees do it in the right way and we've seen where it works for the yankees we've seen 09 but look who they got they got the ace they needed they got what they needed in 09 they got two starting pitchers who strike guys out one they considered more of an ace than the other one aj burnett killed the yankees for years and he struck guys out he was a strikeout pitcher we know that cece sabathy was the ace and the horse the yankees finally needed they got him they also got the best first baseman arguably in baseball at the time and they also traded for people always forget this nick swisher was supposed to be our first baseman and he had a great year in right field became the right fielder so there was a lot of smart things done so the yankees that year think about it they traded some prospects and they spent money that's what they have to do but see look when li and i love you bro but when you say things like spending money doesn't work for the yankees but that's their advantage and that's the problem that's why i get so frustrated that's why francis gets frustrated we talked about this all year long deadline and all that stuff the yankees have the advantage of having a good farm system and having money things teams like the dodgers and only a few clubs can really say the red sox the mets well the metsy whatever but they can do these things the yankees can do that it's the way you go about doing it is is the real problem here peraza look cashman said he could start it short now defensively defensively he could hit yeah trust me he can hit at that level all last year everybody told me they said pete this kid is ready now he could come up right now that's why i said at the end of the year i thought he should have been called up because everybody you hear from says this kick a hit right now at this level and be very good at this level so debating that or not it really doesn't matter but the yankees should spend money they should call guys up when they have to they should run it like the rays run it but with the added part that they can spend hundreds of million dollars in contracts so i'm really happy that you bring up the race because my response to li yankee king and not just li cause there's a couple of people that feel like this i saw somebody respond to a joe's tweet this week saying uh why do the yankees have to spend so many hundreds of millions of dollars to contend when you have teams like tampa bay who contend at like 60 million and i responded um saying it's very simple franchises organizations are built to survive in their environments right tampa bay has to survive at 60 million in payroll 70 million 50 million in payroll because they are bred to do so they were not bred to spend that kind of money they don't have that financial wherewithal that the yankees do that the dodgers do so they are out they obviously had to pivot to something different they had to find a way to compete so what did they do they went and got some people who thought outside of the box smart guys they got some nerves they got people who could get more out of less and that's how they put their team together they became a scrappy organization who gets more out of uh out of less and then when a player is reaching that moment where they get expensive even in arbitration they ship them out for the next young guy who's going to come up and they can get more out of for less facts the yankees are not bred to do that so as much as i i was on the bandwagon this year saying like we got to call up these kids or whatever i was saying that because in the moment we didn't have another choice we did not have another option you can't like in the middle of the year a big free agent signing doesn't normally happen so you got to go with what you got at the time and we had guys who were in our farm system doing well that i thought deserved a shot but in the off season we shouldn't be approaching the offseason the way tampa bay approaches and off seas of course not because we are bred to survive in a different arena our environment is the environment of the los angeles dodgers it's the environment of the padres right now it's the environment of the right that the that the red sox are in that the mets want to be in i mean they say they're in but we have to see right that environment where it's like this is this is the you know this is the casino this is where you go into that secret room in the casino and it's like yo this is the high stakes table that's where the yankees are bred to play so we are at our best when we spend the money i know people say ah but 300 million like why do we have to do because that's how we are bred to survive yep that's how we are bred to survive we i mean if the if the yankees are going to change that i mean this this is not changing change the name too then if you're if you're not if you're not going to be the yankees then don't don't fake to be the yankees yeah be something like i don't know i don't know why i can't i can't understand why fans would want the yankees to be anything other than financial giants and in new york city they make more money than any other franchise why should they be frugal and i underst i do understand where a fan could come out and go a pete you know they do have floriel and they do have peraza i mean that that gives you two guys they could put in there right yeah potentially they could but i think i think even me being arguably one of the biggest supporters of esteville all year i'd rather have starla marten center field if you could do that 100 i mean that's my thing but that's the power and the muscle of the yankees and that's and that's where the yankees have to flex their power like see the thing about prospects guys we said this time and time again prospects are nice right prospects are nice to hold them you want to hug them you want to give them a little a little they smell you know a little noogie they they smell good you want a little kiss on their forehead oh my little chase but here's the thing but here's the thing when you're the new york yankees right you do not have to necessarily bank on the hopes that dominguez comes up and does everything he's hyped to do when you have the money to buy someone who is already doing that right now do you understand so if the right opportunity presents itself it's good to have prospect i'm not saying i'm not saying that we don't need prospect because there was a time where our farm system was bereft of any prospects that people wanted and we were very unsuccessful because of that the reason that the yankees are in a very unique position this offseason to take the next step and further is because we invested in the farm system the way we did and we have a decent farm system and money the ideal situation is to have both why do i say that because the money can get you a shortstop a center fielder maybe a starting pitcher the prospects can get you your first baseman some relief arms and maybe a catcher you imagine making all of those changes in the same off-season and only three of the new players costed money because you got the other three with prospects that's right that's that's what prospects can do for you yep right but we can't we can't hug we can't hug on to them and tell them on our arm when they're in playing low a no come on guys like and that's a lot of the topic that we've had so i'm getting to our good friend ra ryan sends into super chat to be fair story has been has been the most durable of the other two shortstops in my opinion i'd be happy with a story and olson combination who the hell wouldn't who the hell wouldn't look the good thing about that you got some balance there too right you got a guy who makes a lot of contact cut his strikeouts down a ton in olson and then he got trevor story who i mean like you said defensively he's excellent he's durable he's been on the field he's a leader we know that we know he has that mentality about himself he's fast he steals bases we need that and yeah he's gonna okay fair he's gonna strike out i get it i get it he's going to strike out understandable everybody else our other stars judge and and stan yeah and look i'm not making excuses for guys striking out because yeah i've said it multiple times we need more contact matt olson does that matt olson does that so he he starling starling starling martinez lamarte does that and i saw marty risa that man is jacked no this guy he's a he's a physical specimen i would never have taken that picture that l'oreal body yeah i he was in a picture with gary sanchez i was like i would never have to i would never have taken that picture if i was gay gary should have been like bro when you post that just crop it bro let me see but let me see you before let's gary sanchez gary sanchez look look like a cab driver standing next to this man like what are you this man has biceps out to hear the shoulders i mean he looks like a man athlete i was just like yo put the pinstripes on homie right now people want to tell me that this guy's 32. do you know at the age of 32 he is way more in shape and athletic than glebe torres 24 year old ass like what are we talking about labor tours and those new pictures look like he's getting a little chunk on him he i hope that he has a little chunk on him there i think i think he should be going back he should be going the opposite way but i don't we'll see reuben comes through again with the super chat ruben says one starling martay two trevor story three judge equals havoc on the bases and many many many runs bro i would fall out flat on my face if that's what the yankees ever ran out there yeah no that would be great now let me better watch this starlin martay trevor story judge olson stanton gallow stalin's whoever the hell else is out there cause i can't say gary i ain't even saying i knew starlings was coming but can you think about that though martay story judge olson stanton stop it and and a healthy dj lament are we allowed to win that much that is winning listen man i want to tell you guys look it's not uh it's not it's not it's not out of the realm of possibility that we don't end up with correa or seeger like and it's not it's not just it could it could it could be you know that you know what pete reported in the video from yesterday is 100 accurate and hal says look i already got stanton on a contract that's 300 that i'm paying off we just signed cole on a contract that's 300 that i'm paying off i gotta resign judge i got a resigned judge i want financial flexibility in case an opportunity presents itself in the future i just don't want to do this and maybe and maybe that's what they say and maybe they don't go to one of those guys story would be a phenomenal fallback option francis simeon you know that bowdoin projects simeon to only get a five-year deal worth hundred and forty eight million do you have that that's stupid i mean if you can guarantee me and i i would i would probably bet more it's because of age that he has three a minimum of three good years if you simeon yeah simeon i would i would i would bet with you i would bet the same way if somebody tells me that i'd be like all right so he's a he literally is 1a if that's his salary there's nobody better no yeah it's listen if because here's the thing if we are of if we are subscribing to the belief that anthony volpe is as box office are they as they are telling us that he is he is only about another year two years away maybe maybe maybe that would mean that we could afford to sign someone who is going to be here for the next couple of years and then slide over or transition when volpe comes up right if that is the case now for me personally francis the ideal situation for that is to sign seeger why because many people say that he's going to do better at third base anyway right his range is limited as a short stop he doesn't really whatever but at third base he could probably be really successful facts well you know what him at third volpe at short i think i like my chances i think i love i think i love my channel but that's the thing and that's what i was saying before like when you said about who you know whoever they sign this is the best offseason to get away with being like we didn't want to spend three you don't even got to say it no the yankees came out and were like guys you know we looked at everything we looked at all the guys available we truly feel story was the best option we truly feel that simeon was the best option you could make that case without anybody get it mad i know i think i'll tell you right now if cashman comes out and says that people can't get upset like for for simeon especially with simeon you can't get do you know the simeon was the heart and soul of the toronto team this year yeah simeon was the heart and soul he was just going into the room that's it one one of the best offenses in baseball yeah i think vladimir i think vlad vlady jr will tell you himself that if simeon is not on that team he doesn't have the year that he had this year no probably not i'm going to tell you i'm going to tell you right now a veteran like simeon is exactly what you want in a lineup that's young like the blue jays if i'm the blue jays i would commit all types of sin to make sure i got simeon back because because without simeon in that lineup next year they're gonna look very different people say oh it's just one guy it's not gonna be trust the difference trust me when i say it if the toronto blue jays run out the same lineup sans simeon you're going to see a different offense next year i'm not saying that kevin bisio doesn't take the next step i'm not saying that beau buchet doesn't get even better that vladi doesn't get even better that you know uh george springer you know with the injuries and everything you know tay oscar's a guy who's good i guess they're still there they still there they have they got a lot of thumb they got a lot of power they got a lot of contact in that lineup they got a lot of damage that can be done but simeon was the catalyst there case in point look at the yankee offense in those two years when dj mayhew was dj la mayhew and look at the yankee offense last year when dj lemay he was not dj lamey right it was a huge difference it was a stark difference and and we we chalked it up to a lot of different things we said there's not enough lefties there's not enough whatever let me tell you something two years ago we still ain't have enough lefties but that that offense was churning why because we had a catalyst at the top of that thing making it go making it go this guy was getting hits and almost it looks like every other bat every other day he had a multi-hit game he was if he came up with runners on base it's just like okay add to the score because he's about to when he wasn't doing that you saw the difference so i feel like simeon's a guy that if you're toronto it's like dude you really don't want to lose this guy but you're going to have a lot of competition to sign him a lot well i'm surprised it took this long even though taco nacho was sending it multiple times so taco nacho thank you for following the rules that we were saying he says pete how serious is the whole olsen thing and do you think we can get a trade done this week remember paxton was traded this week a couple of years ago uh how serious is it i think it's extremely serious i think the yankees recognize that olsen is available and i think he also recognized that they can get them i think i think all that is obvious now the question comes to right now how many you know what are the offers looking like right now because i've seen people come out and go well um what's basically happening is that uh there's not enough interest in olson that's stupid that's i'll tell you right now that is stupid if you believe that there's not enough interest in matt olsen i got a bridge to sell you now is it true that it could be possible that they're not getting the offers they expect that is very possible that is very very possible we know the brewers will be involved we know boston's involved we know the yankees are involved we know to be many of the mariners could also be in there could be a lot of teams out there that could be really interested in matt olsen so just saying that they should look as they should as they should be yankees interest yes it is very serious i think everybody knows that by now i think that could very very much happen we don't know what it would look like i'd be i wouldn't be shocked one bit if it happened any time soon now to answer your question could it happen by friday it actually could it actually could and that's not me just saying it because there's actually some evidence that could back that up a little bit when it comes to rosters and you know putting some non-tenders and things like that you got to get some of these guys on the roster you got to move some of these other guys so very very interesting uh when it comes to matt olsen i wanna just i think pete said everything there when it comes to matt also i just want to piggyback off that and say yes 100 the interest is a thousand percent real in matt olsen because he fits so many different ways one one he doesn't cost anything right as much as people are predicting the yankees to go blow through the threshold and everything i also agree that they will blow through the threshold but the yankees are still hal's yankees and house yankees love to get a steal whenever they can matt olson matt olson is the prototypical steal this guy is arguably one of the best first baseman in the game he's a left-handed bat i mean he checks off so many boxes that the yankees don't have right now that is just like it makes all the sense in the world so of course of course they're in on it i mean i and i don't think uh cashman did anything to dispel that or anything i mean obviously some of the interviews that came out he's not going to show his hand guys he's he yeah i mean that would be stupid i just got to tell my yankee fan something real quick for some of you who are like well pete that could happen because cashman said this guy stop it yeah i mean i don't i don't even you know when you when somebody says somebody to me i just go i just say in my head yeah you haven't watched for long it's impossible that you've watched for long do you know many times if cashman has said what he truly believes how different these rosters would be yeah bubba crosby would have been on center field we never would have got johnny damon and that's just one there there's tons of options tons of times that cashman has went out and said something again the deadline we will go over if we have to then he comes out well we wanted to stay under and uh okay we we know that you're not giving your hand up makes sense you know so i i think that could be also a problem for oakland they kind of gave their hand up already they showed they showed so teams like the yankees are going to proceed with caution why because they're like look the one thing i don't want to do is bid against myself now i'm not saying i'm not saying please pay attention i'm not saying the yankees are the only ones in on matt olsen because i think that that would be a bit of an ignorant take matt olson is one of the best first basemen in baseball he costs nothing and he has two years of control left there are definitely a lot of suitors interested in matt olsen right yeah what i'm saying is the yankees don't want to bid against themselves if they already submitted a package offer right they don't know whether or not somebody beat their offer but chances are no one has beaten their offer yet right so they don't want to bid against themselves meaning oh we sent an offer we haven't gotten anything yet let's send an even better offer and wait wait time out you don't even yeah let's hold on a second we don't even know we know that other teams are involved all right let's let's not you know be dumb other teams are involved but we don't know to what extent because while he makes sense for other teams the other teams also have a lot of ways that they can pivot a lot of options that they're looking to otherwise but when it comes to the yankees of matt olsen he's such a fit that cashman really has to go in for that in a way that other teams might not have to so him knowing that it would be dumb to say i'm just gonna like keep adding to our package offering you'll sit back at that point just let let it play out because what they're going to do is they're they take the yankees offer they wait to get a better offer and then they circle back to the yankees correct to get the offer that they wanted from the yankees in the first place correct but what what happens if they don't get a better offer than the yankees first offer well then cashman wins and he ends up getting him for lower than what they wanted to sell him for because they didn't get a better offer this is how the off season works guys it's a give it's give and take there's a lot of you know pull but it's like no gm who's worth it who's worth his weight is going to freaking say that to an interviewer in freaking november you know what i'm saying guys not like he has to come out there and say gary sanchez could very well be our starting catcher in 2022. even if he already told his team that gary sanchez is gone he can't say that no because it hurts his value that's stupid the same thing with hicks people got himself oh i can't believe he said that hicks may very well be yeah guys he said two conflicting things in the same sentence he said heron hicks may very well be our starting center fielder we need to upgrade center field you're right he said in the same sentence and people were like no he said hicks is the son he lo if you read both listen to what he said he did he was not going to do what he's doing he never does anything he never does cashman never tells anybody what he's doing i saw somebody say well he's he's talked about carlos correa so much you know he's going to get him because you have to you have to what if anything if anything the talk about carlos correa would lead me to believe they're not going to sign right exactly no i mean cashman well that that's kind of how it is to me that's the talk about carlos correa if anything is to build leverage in the seeger negotiations they're going to end up trading for alberto monday any second and then we're gonna go what the hell happened and that's it that's what's gonna end up happening if they trade for young as alberto monteci i'm gonna be at yankee stadium changing the lock so that he can't get in no offense no offense no offense but you don't you you're not supposed to be over here right now i know you might you think you're not that guy but bro you don't belong here what are you you're not that guy turn around back to kansas city tell the pilot to turn around you're looking to go st louis is that way exactly exactly like oh you oh you're looking for the mets oh okay yeah no no they that's in queens popularity you're in the wrong spot and i'm not just don't worry about it yeah we we send you an uber to queens that's junky stadium hey jenkins you thought city no no yeah city you looking for uncle stevie the team that doesn't have a manager coach that's what yeah that's in queensland right now that's crazy man so tyler tyler comes out with the super chat these are fun we got two super chats in a row that are fun that's really asking us if we would do something where if we think something's going to happen the first one is from tyler is a good one everybody buckle up for this one okay brian reynolds and jacob stallings for j.j domingue oswald peraza luis medina yoendri gomez and randy vasquez that's a big haul that's a really big hole but i want to give tyler a shout out on one thing tyler thank you for being realistic bro thank you for being realistic i'm gonna say you know how many people have messed me say peter what do you think about clint frazier aaron hicks and two other fosters guys you met like come on like stop you guys it gets me mad because i'm like do you guys know two things real quickly about brian reynolds and jacob sawlings brian reynolds is one of the best young players in baseball and he's controllable for years to come jacob sollins is arguably the best defensive catcher in baseball and he handles pitchers extremely well that's valuable guys that's valuable that's going to cost the yankees a lot of shkarol and not just money money and prospects also do i do that trade specifically i'll tell you what tyler man you have my interest i'd sit down and look it over i'd really think about it i'd really think about it i pencil out some lineups i like to know what else we're doing because now if somebody tells me this well we got brian reynolds coming we got jacob stalin we got centerfield and that covered we're also signing trevor story and robbie right i'm doing that deal i don't give a poo i don't give a poo i don't care about jason dominguez and i love him he's he's very very raw people people get very confused about that let him let him develop um oswald peraza i love him i love this dude i love oswald peraza i travel to see this guy this year okay next year i'll be doing f of opie i travel to see him i love all i would have i would not be mad if the yankee said we added all these other guys and oswald perez is going to be our starting shortstop you would see me only be like yeah maybe we could've got more but i'm okay with that i'm okay with that ballsy move that's a ballsy move i'm okay with but francis if a gm approaches me ben charrington approaches me and says hey here's what we're looking at this this is what we would do we'd actually do this as long as i know we added these other pieces whether it's a shortstop along with us one starting pitcher even bro i'm doing that i'm doing that all day now if that was our off season that's a i don't know i that that i would still have to seriously consider but i i don't know if i would be as jumping up and down but if you give me a starting pitcher you give me the short stop you give me that you you looking at a team aaron boone may not be able to mess up yeah listen i'll tell you like this uh one do i do the deal i'm gonna say yes without anything without knowing anything it's a lot it's a lot the prospect capital that we're giving up is a lot but i'm gonna say i'm gonna say yes and here's why is that without knowing anything what do you mean like without knowing whether i'm signing yeah yeah like an example you would want to know the other moves you're making also beforehand or have an idea exactly so that yeah so that's where i'm going me too here's here's where he's like i do this deal here's the caveat though like i do this deal knowing okay one this probably precludes me from trading for matt olsen because now to get olsen the only things left that i have is volpe and i i have to absolutely start any conversation about olson with volpe and if i trade volpe peraza and dominguez in the same offseason i'm gutting the farm system did he he mentioned louise hill too right no or medina no luis medina medina so okay so so he so medina's gone whoa but we'll see yeah so i i actually i actually agree i think if if medina figures out his control like his stuff is even better but now i know if i make this deal i have brian reynolds and i have jacob stallings right center field i have an all-star center fielder great freaking hitter pure hitter i have one of the best defensive gloves behind the plate who is literally about to take my rotation to the next level it's not it's not even funny it's not even funny how good that rotation is about to be because of this cat but i do know that chances are i'm not in the market for olsen anymore because that would mean now like uh medina's gone peraza is gone dominguez is gone for olsen now they want volpe and heel to start the conversation if i like i said if i do that if i do that i'm i'm gutting the farm system i don't know what i'm going to get i don't know what i'm going to have what if i need to make a trade in the middle of the year i don't have any flexibility now i don't have any big chips because i got i shot all my bullets in the winter that's fine that's fine because i'll just sign rizzo i'll sign rizzo yeah it's true i'll bring rizzo back on on a deal that's you know not you know long-term and nothing too too expensive and to me rizzo as a fallback option from matt olsen is a phenomenal option of course so i signed rizzo um i don't sign i don't sign one of the big short stops i don't sign correa and i don't sign corey seeger but i go even harder for trevor story or simeon right right because of the kind of team that i'm putting together now and what i do try to do is find a deal for gleber torres that gets me back some prospect capital so that i could replenish a little bit of what i just lost in the deal to pittsburgh and you could put dj at his best position and i put dj back at his best position and geo and george stays for another year maybe okay with that two maybe two but eventually maybe maybe sign donovan solano but eventually yeah exactly the bench exactly so eventually because of the moves i made this winter now geo in the back of my head has an official expiration date because i like i know where i'm going and he's not going to be a part of it but he's going to be here for now and he might he might get a he might get a ring in one of these next two years because of the team we have right now so i'm going to do right by him before moving on from him yeah but yeah i i definitely do that deal if i can follow it up with the moves that i just said yeah no definitely i agree and then johnny it's like you said bro my bad because it's like you it's like you said to be to be the yankees gm this offseason like yes it's true it's a lot of pressure or whatever but it's like there's so many ways that you could go but how do you lose that's my thing that's what i've been saying the whole like how do you lose in this offseason so johnny i'm gonna get to your question now that we'll answer uh some other ones there johnny says do you think we land olson i'll start off johnny i'm gonna say yes let me tell you why i'm gonna say yes and i'm a pretty confident yes here would it shock me if they don't know do i have anybody telling me right now they're gonna sign olsen no i don't let me tell you why i believe they will brian castron makes trades with few teams oakland is one of them they've done it before he's comfortable with being they they have a good relationship very much i could see the yankees landon olson two you got the prospects to do it that's not the problem three it's an area of need and it automatically makes your infield better makes your team better and let's also not forget he's one of the best players in the game so yes i think as of right now where i stand i will i would be on the side of a yes i think the yankees if olson is traded i'll say this i think he is a yankee yeah i'm gonna agree i'm going to agree with you there pete shout out to killer joe too for getting on that one first that's a fact that's a fact um i will uh yeah 100 agree with you there pete i think uh olsen is is uh is gonna the awesome deal is gonna happen i think it's gonna be done for all the reasons that we've been saying already it makes too much sense um and it's official he's there to be had i don't know how you miss out on a deal like this like when it's like come on man i'm not going to cost you any money it's like whatever they just just go get the guy um and and it covers you if you say you don't want if you make a deal like olsen there's a caveat to it where that kind of covers you now if you don't end up with correa or seeger because another thing as a result that you could say is look now we have this young first baseman superstar we have judge who we're extending we had this like olson's not here for two years we want to resign we want to extend him too so that's why we didn't go and grab a 300 million dollar shorts like not saying that that's what they do but now you can you can use that lip service we're doing here that's why that's why i love doing this live is we're just going with the flow we're going what you guys are telling us and we're building the scenario around as chris colon says i say france's footage yankees new gm right there chris listen man i wish i wish we could put a team together yeah it's great get the ny news team yo we would be out there talking about this all the time and and that's why i think like even when the season ended we had that conversation we're like well this offseason is the most important i've been saying that for a minute now because 100 you you don't it's it's you just don't lose in this offseason there's so many trades to make you could go 12 different routes you can have seven different game plans and end up with a way better team than how you started in 2021 i mean literally like it's it's not even close how easy it is to do that and and that is the reason why i'm up in the air right now like if cashman screws this up i don't know and guys look i've seen uh i think talking jake or whatever from john boy put it out and he had dj lo this is my team he got dj lemayo at third base and catcher gary sound like that is the worst you can get out of this off season that would be like the worst plan you can get first of all because three of the five infield positions are bad correct and you why would you why why even look see if i'm hal steinbrenner let me tell you right now what i'm saying to cashman he comes in my room and shows me that i'm saying all right here's the deal we're not signing nobody then i'm not wasting money just so you know i'm i'm the boss one i'm not wasting money what are you doing guys just so you know and everybody's entitled to their opinion i'm just saying that opinion is [ __ ] and i retweeted it and i said that opinion is [ __ ] because it is if you make all those changes to the yankees and you put dg lemayo in his worst position which is third base and you still got gary sanchez behind the plate i don't care what you do it's not good enough bro it's listen oh shout out shout out to ryan is in the building ryan beck shouts out to ryan bro listen oh and joe joe's in the chat too somewhere i saw joe listen what i want to say is this any and i'm laughing because it's like i i really have had it up to here with this any infield alineation that has dj le mayheu not at second base is going to perpetually irk my last nerve why dj the mayhew is not 25 he's not 26 he's not 24. dj maybe he was in his 30s dj me he needs to be in a position where he is going to be successful now yes dj mayhew was signed as a super utility guy and he is comfortable moving around but what we think at this point is that we just signed him to a six-year deal all right i don't think i signed him for six years so that he's going to be all over the place filling in we signed him to six years because of the two years that he gave us and those two years that he gave us he was playing more often than not like second base but he did move around to first and third that's true but his best position is second base why are we flirting with this idea of moving geo putting dj at third having glaber still at second and gary sanchez still still catching that doesn't help us defensively we didn't get better in the infield the yankees need to get better defensively guys this is not i'm sorry like this is not a a place where i'm even willing to like debate because i don't feel like i i don't see how you can make the debate that it's okay oh because gary sanchez is still gonna hit you 20 plus home runs who cares yeah that's the kick that is the worst how many games how many games is he going to lose us because he doesn't frame as well as the other catchers doing today's game because he doesn't move behind the plate well how many how many and in the big games is he even going to start in the big games the funniest the funniest thing about that post by jake to me was that it was opening day and that was that's a lie because opening day gary cole is bitching and gary doesn't catch gary cole so i was like he's already alive but see that is not when people bring up production on gary sanchez the first thing i say to them is this but you got gallow you expect him to be more productive than joey gallo i don't he makes up for it whatever production you thought you got gallow makes up for it yeah so i don't understand that but you're working on moving oh no one one quick point about gala before we jump on gallow defensively i mean just won a gold glove but we know what he's going to do with his glove out there in exactly on on the field offensively yes gallow is not going to be a high average guy gallow is going to strike out a lot that is true but i was doing research last night after watching that career interview because correa spoke positively about joey gallo in a way that shocked me and i was like okay let me look at it and i went and looked and gallow production wise right look at on base percent look at how many times he was getting on base in games down the street whatever he got on base higher than i would say more than half of our lineup right and he batted like 200 he batted 199 and he was still getting on base at a higher clip than more than half of our lineup including gary sanchez glaber torres geo rochelle aaron hick like hey oh please the people with the gallows and for all the people through that talk [ __ ] about dj lemayo the yankees was so bad he led them in hits so i mean everybody talks trash but we got another super chat here from mike m he said listen if the yanks end up with story because they didn't want to spend big then it's uh what it is but if cash gets the green light and money is closed i'd be upset if they don't sign seeger over correa uh defense matters um he said seeger over korea because he would be upset if they signed seeger over correa he thinks if they do money which i think we've said that too before yeah we really do spend the money correa is the guy to spend the money on if you're going listen my point with that is is actually short for once if you're going to go to 300 million then pay correa career if you're going to be if you're going to be in that stratosphere anyway just go and get the best that's it like that's that's where i fall on it i agree you're going to spend that kind of money if you're going to spend that kind of money anyway like just go and get just go and get korea how much i guess the question and i'd love to see what some of you guys responses is in the chat how far away in terms of years and dollars do you guys think correa and seeger are going to be because i don't think it could be 10 to 15 to 20 million maybe less i would say i would say 20 million max and most of the insiders are are projecting 20 million bowdoin has them at a 20 million gap yeah bowden's never he's the only one i think he's never right ever no he's wit i think i think he's off with with correa and seeger he has seeger getting more money than korea i don't i don't see that i i think i i've said it before i don't know if maybe i'm wrong maybe i'm nuts when somebody told me early on that he's getting 300 plus million i said he doesn't need like 275. i don't know i will see maybe i'm wrong i don't know what warrants him getting 300 million is it seeger i mean the same thing with correa i'm sorry yes you're basing it off of potential though i know these guys are good but you're basing enough potential people want to talk trash about aaron judge don't start on it because he's older and he's injury prone he's played more games than both of them yeah aaron judge aaron judge is interested i guess i'll save that point because i'd like to talk about maybe i'm confusing all this money stuff because france is me and you've had a back and forth even about verlander because i don't think yeah i think you're nuts like somebody said they're gonna would you be happy if somebody just said this i forgot who it was so i apologize but i did see the question somebody said would you be happy if they signed verlander to a two-year 40 million deal no i'd be on here right now telling you i'm pissed out my mind it's stupid my man hasn't pitched in 2019 since 2019 he's coming off surgery he's 30 38 years old he pitches with spider attack why would you give that dude 20 million a year you got to be out your freaking mind so so here's the deal starting from back with the shorts francis laughs at me guys 12 million no no friend guys this is he i know some of you gonna think he's joke pete is dead ass i'm not joking he's not giving verlander more than 12 million no look i would give him more but it has to be severely incentive based i am not guaranteeing that dude yeah there you go look he won't guarantee derrick derrick calls healthy with without spider attack my dude is injured and we don't know who he is you're getting an unknown right you could say oh i wonder i won the uh i won the the cy young in 2019. yeah okay and uh well you know i've done many things two years ago too that i might not be able to do today so what what does that do for me nothing i don't care so here's uh here's the thing right when it comes to the money and i'm speaking from a place guys of somebody who's like been studying this this uh this salary thing for like i don't know i want to say some like 20 2012 when i really got interested in it or whatever when was the jacobi when was jacoby juice when did we sign jacoby oh god i don't even want to remember it was like because i had just i had really gotten into like baseball salaries and things like that about a year or two before before we signed jacoby ellsberry jacoby elsberry was signed by the new york yankees in 24. i was going to say 2014 2014 2014 so then i was right 2012. i've been i've been doing this since 2012. right what what happens with the contracts guys is very simple right the market is set early on depending and then depending on your player com your player comp your player comparison that is where the market gets set at for you then a couple things can change that right so i'm gonna elaborate on so you guys can understand me because it's it's difficult to understand the reason that the market for carlos correa and corey seeger is starting at that crazy number of 300 million is because the mets were crazy enough to sign francisco lindor for 341 million it's because it's because san diego extended tatis for i want to get i want to get this number right i want to get this number right uh tatis what are you like a 10-year deal didn't he or more than that yeah tatis signed a 14-year 340 million dollar extension okay so what happens see what we don't see when this happens like and i was one of the people out there fernando tati's got extended i was like hey man you don't congrats get your money or whatever but guys like open your eyes because this this is gonna this is gonna send shockwaves through the industry when you sign a kid who hasn't proven and tatis is great so please don't misunderstand me but tatis hasn't won an mvp tatis hasn't won a world series ring right tatis hasn't had a crate like you know i mean like a crazy postseason run and when i say crazy post season run i'm not talking about a wild card game or a nlds i mean an nlds nlcs and a couple good games in the world series like i mean something like that tatis hasn't even been to a world series like he got extended because of what they imagine he's going to do as a player and what they know for sure he's going to do in terms of like sales and stuff right but 340 million for him 341 million for francisco lindor it just shows you what's happening with the market lindor got 341 million for the sole purpose of being able to say he got more than fernando tati's facts now now you guys now you guys might think no that's just something people said no no that is a hundred percent a fact 341 million is not a round it's not a round figure he literally wanted he literally made the mets go to 341 so that he could get one more million than tatis and he could be the highest shortstop yep so if you think for one second that carlos correa and his group the rosen group is gonna sit back and say that they're not trying to get at least 342 we have another thing coming no no question about it that's a win that's a win for the agency too exactly signed the largest contract ever at that position exactly exactly and this is why i keep telling people like with juan soto like as much as as much as we like some people hate him they think he's a fan of whatever we're boris or whatever boris is already planning to make to make to make juan soto the first 500 million dollar contract you guys might think that sounds absolutely crazy no it doesn't it's not lindor is a great player switch hitting shortstop you know saying nice smile looks good in the jersey he's good for commercials he's good for advertising he he checks all the boxes you want right been to the playoffs been there done that clutch a little bit 341 million dollars was a lot of money for him it was a lot of money for him but they had to go there because they had to go there because tati's got it yep and then the mets got suckered into it because he was there and he gave them a deadline and they didn't have the proper leadership kind of negotiating that deal and they folded they felt they felt the pressure of the fans they felt the pressure of everybody and they said oh my god we traded for this guy we gave up rosario whatever and now we're going to risk losing them and he's going to go to that that crazy mark of the short stops next year and then anything can happen you know what 341 fine give it to him yeah well now the repercussions of that is that corey secret's going to want 300 million of course and who are and who are who who are we to say that he can't get 300 million when francisco and doris sitting there with 341. trump can you argue like complete that's the market that's the most all they're going to do the market i mean it's all about the market you're 100 right now now who now no does that mean that i agree with the money that they get no no i first of all i fall on the same side of the coin that pete does i think a lot of these contracts are blown with i love gary cole i think that garrett co-contract is absolutely [ __ ] ridiculous of course it is it did like there's like we're paying we're paying pictures we pay gary cole 36 million dollars a year now and he plays every five days like it's great it's gary but but but here's the thing if you ask me oh so you wouldn't have signed gary cole to that d no no i would have signed him to that deal 10 times out of 10 why because that was the only way to get him and we needed him yeah of course but what i'm saying he was going to get it by somebody so it wasn't like you're blowing somebody out the water somebody listen if if we didn't give him the 300 or whatever 46 minute whatever art moreno in la was going to give him 350 or 360. it was it was going to happen so that's why i say would i sign the deal 10 of course 10 times out of 10 i signed it why because we needed gary cole he's supposed to be here and i still believe he's going to be a part of a championship winning new york yankees team so i pay him what i'm saying is that these numbers have gotten inflated and blown completely out of proportion and that's why we're in a situation where whether you think corey secret is worth 300 million or not whether you think that correa is worth 300 million or not is all secondary because they're agents and the players association because if you you guys think you hate scott boris that's the dead of worst the players association they're not going to make things you think you hate scott boris you don't even realize the guy you really hate is tony clark because i love one thing i love that fan says well maybe they'll just give a discount no they're there there's no such thing and they don't do things like that let me tell you something right now marketing value is something and they they looked at oh want to take this deal a lot no it don't work that way it don't work that way that's true guys i'm going to tell you right now aaron judge has come out on several interviews and even his most recent interview and say i want to be a yankee i want to finish my career like i want to be a community i'm all from 150 million let me let me tell you right now if the yankees come if the yankees come low on an extension offer or offer a free agency tony clark will die before he allows aaron freaking judge just to sign a low ball deal to stay on the new york yankees are you kidding me he said aaron we already bought your trip to uh to san francisco you're out he's like bro because what they're telling the players is and the players are believing it but it's not necessarily true and i'll tell you why after what they're telling the players is if you aaron judge who's one of the top five best players in the game top three top three in some circles if you take a pay cut on your extension just because you're 30 and had a couple of knicks here and there what's gonna happen to guys like michael conforto yeah that's right what's gonna happen to guys like byron buck what's gonna happen to these other guys well maybe he's talking about conforto getting 20 plus million a year comfortable guys comforto might very well turn i think i if i had to he might be a real sleeper too if i had to guess conforto qualifying offer decision i think conforto turns it down and goes out and gets the deal for multiple years making an amount of money that i would i would have been shocked if you would tell me he was going to make that amount of money yeah but because the market is where it is you want to look at you want to look at a good barometer for michael conforto do you guys remember the pollock deal to the doctors yeah yeah aj pollock do you remember that contract yep i do four years four years 55 million yep right that's an average of almost 14 million a year for pollock pollock had a very spotty injury history and whatever and the dodgers were willing to give them almost 14 million in a year over five conforto is younger doesn't have the injury thing i mean been to you know been been to the playoffs got a little bummer is he is he one of the top would you name him as one of your top 10 outfielders i probably wouldn't no and paul at the end of the at the end of the day he had the injuries but he had a good year he was worth it i mean he was worth the 3.1 war he uh 297 he hit 21 homers and only 384 at basket i could hit 50 home runs last year the reason that i bring up the pollock deal is to tell you yeah right i know what you mean comforto is about to make that pollock deal look like a steal likely likely and people and people didn't like that deal when it happened he's like oh you're going to give him a five-year deal that i would watch watch when we see what conforto gets watch when we see what comfortable again there's people out there who will pay him there's a lot of people out there there's a lot of people in the market for center fielders right now and whoever strikes out whoever strikes out on marta is going to pivot more likely than not to michael conforto facts so moving on we have a couple of super chats here anthony medina our good friend hey guys do you think if the yankees traded for rentals would it pretty much eliminate them from getting olsen yes i agree dumb question but only just saying it's never a dumb question my man and i would say yes i don't think they they would be able to get both of them i think that would be like france was talking about maybe you go for it you got everything and look to win in the next two years but i don't i definitely don't see the yankees doing that listen listen would i would i still try to do it yes um of course one i'm not i'm i don't have experience as a gm so say i was a gm this year i would i would be willing to play a little bit more risky because i'm new i'm new i'm not seasoned i don't have a legacy to ruin i'm new i'm cutting my teeth in the industry if i was the gm of the yankees right now i would be trying instead of even talking to scott boris and the rosen group about corey seeger and trevor and um carlos correa i'd be more interested right now in trading for reynolds and stallings and matt olsen and gutting my farm and seeing francis can i let me throw this out go ahead yeah you might be able to keep anthony volpe you're right laboratories you're right so you can start a deal with glaiber taurus and let me throw something else out there no jordan montgomery probably not because he's he's gonna have to be resigned uh resigned soon so i don't see that happening but you could start that with maybe a you know um looking at olson hey we're already giving you glebe torres domingo herman could pitch for you for a couple of years and he's cheap depending on who we don't give up is there a possibility of austin wells i mean you'll have the capital to do a deal so here's my here here's my thing and that's why i'm saying i would feel like i personally would feel like you can do this deal you just you just need to be you need to think outside of the box right and you've got to be willing to take the heat right yeah and you have exactly ready to answer exactly so you got to be ready to say this is why i did it exactly and that's why i say i would do this deal because i don't have a legacy that i can ruin i'm a new gm i'm just showing up here so that that deal that was sent to us you're talking about oh we're giving up medina we're giving up uh yo injuries we're giving up jason dominguez we're giving up peraza we're uh for brian reynolds and jacob stallings sign where do i sign send them get them on the plane you could be right now can i let me just say this too real quick before i get to the next chats there the next super chats and all the other um all the other guys out there when it comes to catcher people really really forget how important the defense is and i think gary sanchez is kind of you know no knock on him but people really forget the difference that a good catcher can make on a ball club i'm not joking when i tell you guys this jacob's stallings alone would make the yankees way better than they were in 2021 i'm not joking i have no jacob i just wish he looked that's our job here to do i'm not saying we're smarter than everybody else but we have a platform so for the people who don't understand that i challenge you to open your mind up go watch highlights look at what these guys do remember what you watched over the last couple of years jacob stallings would never be benched because a pitcher doesn't want to throw to him jacob stallings will block balls guys can throw the ball in the dirt and feel very comfortable doing so that is super important he also i think he has like the best frame rate in baseball too he's still overall strikes stole more strikes i think anybody in the world stole more strikes than anybody no pass balls none i'm not saying he'll do that again because you know once he has one or two oh my god it's hard to do but to go a whole season and have no past balls dude how freaking good you got to be the yankee and by the way too i think he's like six foot five which is very rare for a catcher he's really big but this this he would greatly improve the club so getting off that you know that's the thing you gotta think about gary sanchez but tyler uh pearson says much love from canada appreciate the continued honesty and raw content guy hey tyler man we appreciate that i'm happy that you guys are recognizing it because that's all we do here that's literally what ny news is about ella yankee king with the super chat i'll say this brian cashman will screw this up because he's a bottom 5 gm and everything i've said since 2018 will be right i hope i'm wrong francis i'm gonna let you take that one uh all right i'm bottom five gm is a little bit crazy i i actually disagree and i i've been very critical he's not a bottom five gm but yeah he's not one of i don't think he's one of the best i i don't think he's one of the best but right now yeah right right now i think there's a lot of there's a lot more better gms than cashman than there were in the early 2000s and things like that but bottom five is is rough all right the mets are about to hire a guy who was like an assistant gm a couple years back like that to me that's bottom five this is this is brian cashman like this is the same guy who had one of the better deadlines this year right so i'm not gonna say he's bottom five um and will can cashman [ __ ] this up this offseason 100 100 100 that's it's a possibility um again like i said when our when we did our first episode after the season was over for the yankees i feel optimistic that the that he doesn't screw this up because it's so easy not to screw it up this offseason hey can i just jump into real quick with something yeah so what i've been telling you guys a lot about when it comes to the 300 million francis i'm gonna tell you off the record who this person is just got a message and they said directly and this is somebody you guys everybody in this room would know knows his [ __ ] okay i'm sure they do not want to sign a shortstop for 300 million okay francis i'm going to tell you when we get offline i don't have permission to tell it from this person because they are involved pretty um pretty highly were and still are so i'll i'll stop it at that but that is now four people who have told me that they will not sign somebody with 100 million now again this is not pete saying that that's gonna happen i'm reporting on what i'm being told and that's another one i'm being told so that's um that's it again listen guys here's the thing and i know just just got it just now i know people i know people aren't aren't excited to hear that but to play devil's advocate if you will right the yankees already have the big contracts of garrett cole and john carlos stanton on the payroll they also unfortunately are still paying around 30 million for two relievers they pay aaron hicks 10 million a year they pay severino i think another 10 million a year like this is all before they have extended aaron judge an extension offer or signed him in free agency after next year um this is all while still having a team that needs a first baseman needs a short stop needs an upgrade in center field and and catcher right that a team that also has a left fielder in joey gallo who's a free agent after this year so when you factor all of that in what does that tell you that tells you that you do need financial flexibility even if you're the new york yankees that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that the yankees aren't going to raise their payroll up to 250 260 270 280 even 290. that doesn't mean that i don't want there's a lot of people who when they hear when they heard oh they don't want to sign a 300 million deal oh that means that they want to stay under the luxury tax again no no that these are two different things the luxury tax thing is cumulative of all the contracts that you have on your roster right a 300 million dollar contract is for one player what hal says if he is indeed saying i don't want to sign another 300 million deal what he's indeed saying is i don't want to be committing 30 million dollars to another guy right now correct because i already commit 36 to garrett i already commit almost 30 to john carlo i'm already committing another 30 to two relievers and he's also apparently a big judge fan so that he he wants judges to stay there for the long term exactly well he would he would he would basically the thing about how steinberg everything i've hear and everything i've been told i was told i think during mid-season when i put that video out literally the person told me if you get if you asked him right now to write out the 25 man roster he wouldn't be able to do it so that's his interest in the day-to-day operations of this ball club but when you're a fan of a player and he's a fan of aaron judge that's the one thing i hear about a lot that he really likes aaron judge and he wants to lock him up long term he has he has a a invested interest in possibly giving something like that to aaron judge yeah when he wouldn't have that with the carlos correa or somebody else right now well listen god that's that's that that's another point right because when you add up all that money that i was just saying they already have committed they still haven't signed judge to his deal and though we've been critical about the fact that they haven't started those extension talks and things like that or whatever make no mistake about it we do believe that the yankees are going to be in on aaron judge and try to keep him long-term of course guys it the only thing like it's not really hard to see the only thing you have to do is look and look at right field like the whole judges chambers things of whatever look at how long jeter was a yankee they never put a there wasn't a section in the seats called the captain's corner or something like that like for the yankees to go and do what they did in right field for aaron judge that was a huge huge thing that was very unyankee like i was really surprised when i saw that happen and i said whoa they really are crazy about this kid so that all says to me that they are going to try and keep this guy especially if hal says i don't care what you do that's my guy he needs to be on this team that means that they could end up even overpaying for judge as if they had to because they got to keep them they got to keep them so yeah maybe they maybe they can't afford to pay a shortstop 30 million 32 million a year right you know what i mean but maybe that meat look i mean that the thing at the end of the day is you can still win you know yeah this that's why i said and i i god i i i know somebody said recently pete you repeat yourself a lot i'm not trying to repeat myself so much but this is the off-season to lose out on a big guy this is it and i hate saying that because that's not the yankee way and i get it of course not it's not i get it but if you're gonna ever do it this is the season to do it because you could still make a lot of that money you could still sign a lot of these big guys i understand that the fear because look at the end of the day true true you know we could talk about money all day but we also remember they got to be the fear of how many years you're a lot you're committing to somebody here correa is gonna get what do you think eight years minimum korea signs between ten and twelve years and maybe he has an op-ed after three years or two yeah you never know three three four maybe and i mean you think six seven eight around there i think the same thing for seeger six seven or eight it's a big commitment to somebody that's a big commitment listen carlos correa just turned 27. carlos correa is going to get 10 years or more facts no doubt about it and i think corey seeger i think corey seeger is only like a year older than correa at 28. so he's another one who's gonna get 10 years maybe another year or something like that these are 10-year contracts listen i again i will tell you guys this if i had if i had you know my my way the yankees sign carlos correa and the reason behind it is because he's the best shortstop there he's the best shortstop there and i don't believe that cashman is going to make the amount of trades that it would take for me to be like oh i'm cool like you know not getting the best shortstop out there or whatever because i just don't see cashman doing that because he's been a prospect hugger for as long as we've seen him but that could all be different now we don't like i don't know maybe maybe maybe some of the stuff that he's been saying in these interviews is true like maybe maybe they are going in a different direction i don't know i don't see the actually i think a lot of it's going to tell us too when they start non-tendering guys i think that's going to be the real bright spot of being like this is the route this team's taking you know what i mean if if you see them bring gary back and they come out and just like you know gary's gonna be our starting catcher immediately right there i'm like guys pack it in pack it and go home i'm telling you guys right now i and i i've said this again gary sanchez is your starting couch it team's not not serious about winning and you can't convince me you could say all damn day that you want oh beauty get hit i don't give a [ __ ] he can't catch that's not going to change he's not going to be comfortable he's not going to become a gold glove catcher overnight he's not going to do it he's never going to be that he's never going to be that you don't need that you don't need that the offense from that position this team is begging for a very good defensive cash and it will make them so much better your head would spin your head would spin that's how much better this team would come if you just did that alone story olson or rizzo sorry i just want i just want to get a lot of these other questions in here oh for sure story olson or rizzo who would we choose out of those three olsen yeah if i had to olson for many different reasons let me tell you why he's going to be cheap and the reason why i know i know what a yankees but here listen hear me out if you don't spend the money elsewhere you got to spend it somewhere they're going to spend money they're going to sign somebody ray john gray maybe gauzeman marte there's a lot of different routes you can take with that being said there's a lot of different routes you could take roberto perez it's true you know what i mean there's another catcher out there that's from um richard just said that i'll sign roberto perez instead of jan gomes but even young gomez perez those are two catchers yeah people will see the 197 average on perez and cry but he's amazing defensively and he works great with guys i mean what was gary's average at the end well people forget that people still think he's an all-star apparently will will says story worries me away from coors well it was the same thing with dj lemayo and look at look at that turned out look guys guys a ball player is a ball player todd helton was going to hit anywhere a good hitter is going to hit anywhere you know what i mean carlos gonzalez dj lemay you guys good hitters are gonna hit baseballs doesn't matter what they play does it help yeah of course it helps but it's not gonna make the world of a difference listen i'll tell you guys i'll tell you guys like this me for me for me most importantly is not the most important like uh position right now this uh off season is not even necessarily short style it's actually it's not at all it's one of them at least some people think some people think i'm crazy to say that but what i'm saying is because there are so many options at shortstop it doesn't require as much focus and attention because it's really hard to screw up in signing any of these guys like right you're not it's like oh we ended up with seeger instead of correa seeger's freaking amazing oh we ended up with simeon instead of seeger or korea simeon's freaking a mate oh no we ended up with story instead of all the other guys stories are made oh god uh we we just got javi baez here's how we'll be mad i mean we'll be mad if they sign andrewson simmons if we have beef that'll piss me the [ __ ] off bro that will yeah then we have beef if that were to happen we got a legitimate beef to be like all right you guys had all this [ __ ] you didn't do nothing you mean to tell me you couldn't get one of these one of these five you couldn't do it fast you you went and got seven you got sevens you literally told us look no we packing it in early forget what what nah he said make your vacate make your vacation plans for the end of september see see jim jim duggan in the chat um jim was actually the guy who was like you guys are changing anything you know you're just gonna go on twitch you were wrong about that jim and you're also wrong about this we don't have a shortstop what are you talking about that is the no it's not it's not the main position because like francis just said you got so many options if you miss out on correa who cares if you get story if you miss it on story who cares if you get simeon if you miss it on youtube who cares if you get buys you have options there the point that yeah jim the point that we're trying to make here is that shortstop has more options than the other holes in our lives yeah look at the catcher to get better at catcher to get better at catcher that's a little bit trickier this offseason why because the number one guys that you want you have to trade for um a guy like stallings a guy like carson kelly they're going to cost if you if you sign one of these guys out there they're going to cost you got to trade for them they're going to cost and that wouldn't be a problem if you already had your first basement but you don't have your first basement right at first base you know that if you're moving off of luke voight there then you need to get a guy like first base is not a position where you can sacrifice the offense but you also cannot sacrifice a defense contrary to popular belief especially not when you have guys in the infield like labor tourists so first base either needs to be matt olson or anthony rizzo the fan base will accept nothing less than those two guys if dj lemayo is starting for his basement or luke voight by some stretch of the imagination imagine imagination is the first baseman next year that is a huge failure can i say one thing about that can i give a different opinion on that sure i have actually been on the favor side of if dj lemayo does play somewhere else let it be first base but you gotta upgrade everywhere else that has to be like your guys here's the reasoning we did this because okay uh again let's let's [ __ ] right yeah we got a great shortstop and we also got matt chapman at third base and then we also got starlin martin center feeling we had a robbie ray so with all that being said we understand we're taking a little bit of a hit at first base but let me say this too i actually think dj lemay will be better at first than people think he actually grades as the second best position at first base based off analytics and all that but would i be upset if somebody were to tell me right now that's going to happen yeah of course because that's not that is not the best club they could put on the field yeah no just to give a different opinion no no no listen i if if dj is at first but we upgraded that third short and second and center field and center field and catcher or three of those four or three of those five even then so be okay with that yeah that's so be it but what i'm saying what i'm saying right now is like look it's a lot harder to get it wrong at shortstop than it is at first base catcher center field right now because there's so there's a lot of different things you can do at shortstop at center field there's only there's a limited number of things that are available to the yankees at center field right now either we sign starling marte or maybe take a look at conforto or really you know conforta would never shock me comfortable in shock a lot of people a lot of people are overlooking them because they're like i wanna know why the mets or whatever you wanna know why he wouldn't shock me let's not forget who's running the yankees the analytical department and athletics love yeah they think he's gonna have a huge bounce back that wouldn't shock me one bit and i gotta answer a question here joseph i love you but i gotta answer this question is that under not our joe there's another this is joseph i understand i didn't say killer i understand your feelings on sanchez i feel that way about torahs but you always get scared when you see a butt we won 92 games with gary at the bottom of the lineup fam this is the problem you're only thinking about offense defense is friggin important i want to shout out christian too from the nyst podcast he said the other day on twitter he's amazed by how many people think you could put anybody at first base why do you guys not care about defense i think that doesn't win you games because they've been watching and fans of a team that hasn't heard about defense and on top of it it's like pop says i love when pop says this right pops always tells me this i'll call pops up and i say yeah people always just you know talk about production for gary [ __ ] says this what production what can't they not make up with another guy that gary sanchez gives all they got to make up is a couple of homers this is what i'm saying what people don't realize is gary hit 20-plus homers this year if we get matt olsen and sign trevor story at shortstop or simmering that shortstop we just doubled bro sanchez's home runs no but even with better defense and better contact and lower strikeouts the start of 2021 i always bring this up you already did that with joey gallo they already did it it wasn't part of the plan but the thing with the thing with the thing with fans is like is this peter and this this i had to call you by your government just to get this point out they've been fans of a team that hasn't cared about defense for over a decade that's why they don't care about defense it's simple as that yeah that's why they don't care about defense because think about it think about it this was the team that was putting miguel and duhar and clint frazier in left field and telling and telling us that was okay this was a team that had moved geo to shortstop at the end of the year and told us that that was okay this is a team that has played dj at third base and told us that that was okay this is a team that had glamorous torres as our starting shortstop and thought that was okay they put odor at third base told us that was okay they had gary sanchez catching and tell us that that is okay that's why they think it's okay but the truth of the matter is it's not okay just because the yankees do it fact justin can you can you put that again in the chat this time in all capital letters because i think i want everybody to see this your up the middle defense has to be elite that's what i've been saying and that's what i've been saying justin good looks i've been saying that the yankees have the opportunity you got the bet one of the best defensive second base in the baseball in the club already dj lemay you you have the chance to sign trevor story correa who i think are the two best defensive minded of the group yeah and then you've got a center fielder potentially in aaron hicks if he doesn't play every day and also potentially estevan florio we know how good he is offensively but you also got the option of starla marte if you get trevor story let me tell you something i'm gonna go right up the middle for you if i'm brian cashman i'm sitting in a room and i'm saying okay mr steinbrenner you're the boss you're the owner of this club by all means i'll see if these guys will sign for under three and we'll go with that route if not i want to present something to you i'm gonna just stay up the middle i'm gonna say a catcher shortstop and center field actually justin just because you said that's so good i'm gonna go exactly what you said and i'm gonna teach you guys something here you ready for this and justin just did it and he has to edit the things i need second base catcher sure stop and send a few i'm brian cashman i go to steinberg i say all right 300 million is not going to happen no problem we'll see what we could do but hey uh hell mr george son of george no your father george what the hell am i saying shut the hell up pete keep moving this is what that guy's probably talking about i never get to my point let me get to my point my daughter does the same thing too it's pretty funny catcher here listen to me now i'm going to go out there trade for jacob stalin's who is going to cost a good prospect maybe oswaldo cabrera a good pitching prospect in oswaldo cabrera great go do it jacob stallings shortstop i'm going to sign trevor story to maybe 165. we'll go a little high 165. i'll throw it out then maybe that's it who the hell knows i don't even care at this point i'm not even talking about first base but we have an opportunity to trade glebe tourists i'm putting digital mayo at second base and i'm signing starland martay in center field name me a team that got a better off the middle i'll wait patiently you're not gonna find one i'll give you a spoiler right now you're not gonna find one defense wise offense wise talent wise you are not gonna fi and look if the yankees came out and only did that and again there's there's other moves you know you trade labor for something maybe olson and a few other guys you got olsen at first you could sign maybe robbie ray maybe you could sign a john gray maybe a ghostman on the market maybe you could trade for a starter but i'm not even going i'm talking up the middle if that is your backup plan or even your 1a i wouldn't be mad at all that is a tremendous get hell yeah and it makes all the sense in the world can anybody really in the comments section sit there like pete you're wrong on that no come on guys look what we're talking about what we're talking about here is that defense is super important look i watched an interview with carlos correa last night it's about an hour long and for like 45 minutes they're just talking about defense carlos correa is talking about defense and why it's so important and why you need elite people why you need people who are looking at their numbers every week who does he mention by the way france he mentioned yeah yeah he mentioned and and listen to the guys that he mentions at catcher they they just brought up the catcher position the first name out of his mouth was jacob stallman's the next words out of his mouth was that he never even really got to see the guy but he knew that the guy was elite because he was on every website that gives you the analytical breakdown of people's performance and he and the team's catcher maldonado were like this guy's this guy's playing out of his mind they weren't talking about offense they were looking at his defensive metrics on the pirates a team that lost a ridiculous amount of gains but they were looking at him because they were like this guy is excelling defensively he's a problem like this guy's really having a great freaking year to the point where the host of the interview is getting upset because he's like oh but they robbed yadi or molina got a year but should have got it of course you know careers puerto rican the host of the show is puerto rican they're talking about you know whatever so there was this whole thing it's like yo yadi you know yachty's the puerto rican guy he's one of their big guys he's one of the big legends i get it but carlos says listen i feel you i love yachty tubes but these numbers don't lie this jacob stallings kid played out of his mind this year this guy was elite and he said it several times speaking about defense you know who else he brought he brought up joey gallo because the guy was like but how's that fair you know joey gallo he was playing right field but then he got to the yankees and he wasn't in right field anymore because they had judge so how does he win the gold glove for right field whatever he said he played more than half of his games in right field and regardless of whether where he was on the field he was a plus glove he deserved it i was like i can't argue with that he's right he's right he said why do why is defense so important why was winning the gold glove so important to him this year he said he didn't get it last year he looked he wanted to see why he didn't get it because according to all the stats that he knew he was the number one guy he went and found out that there were different things there was like ooze er there was things there was things that uh you know determine the range that you have and how many plays more plays above average and things like that he went studied it understood it and said okay so i have to do this this and this to ensure that i win the gold glove this year not only did he win the gold glove he won the freaking platinum glove right why do you think why do you think he cares about that he's already one of the better hitters in the league today he's already one of the more clutch hitters in the postseason today why does it matter well because i'll tell you why it matters in his words the defense wins the championship the defense wins the championship you cannot be giving away outs and runs because of poor defense that's in the words of one of the biggest free agents right now he says that if you're not prac one of the things one of my favorite quotes from that interview he says i see a lot of guys they go to practice and they're going half speed maybe 25 speed right they're taking six seconds to throw the ball in practice he said the average baseball player gets down the line in 4.3 seconds if you're practicing throwing the ball at six seconds in the game you have to rush it two seconds more why practice two seconds slower than you need to have it for the game no no you're practicing to lose basically he said i practice at game speed and i make everybody around me practice at game speed because we're not practicing to play the game like we practice we're practicing the way that we play the game and i was like this guy gets it yeah francis by the way guys let's not be overlooked francis became one of the biggest carlos correa fans last night after seeing this i mean he said flat out if you spend the money this is the guy you get you were sold 100 100 listen hi guys guys i'm gonna tell you i watched it i sent it to the chat i sent it so rb i sent it so arby could watch it guys i watched this interview and was 100 sold i said if i'm if i'm dolling out that kind of money i want to give it because his mentality is like the way he was speaking this guy is obsessed with baseball much in the way that gary cole is remember when we were recording gary cole and all that stuff came out oh this guy's always watching video he's always watching tape he's always looking at the you know peripheral stats he's big into analytics he's looking to try to this is basically shortstop garrett cole like all he talked about was different numbers different stats different and and he could quote people's stats off the top of his head like when he brought up jacob jacob stallings he didn't just bring up a name and said yeah that guy's good no no he gave you the numbers yeah he gave it up of how many how many strikes he stole and how much and how much less strikes yachty stole than he stole and the guy's like but yadi threw out more runners he's like yeah but like this guy's stealing strikes so that the runner doesn't even get on base i was like i'm freaking that kind of mentality we don't have that right now in the yankee i don't know that we do if we do it's really well hidden because i i told i put it in our chat last night i was like i wonder if glebe torres knows any of this no no i wonder if gary sanchez knows any of this no that carlos is talking about right now he's quoting it like real nonchalant matter of factly it's like bro where are we and i'm not saying that corey seeger is not that guy i hope that there's an interview of corey seeger out there speaking like this because i'd love to give him the praise too but that's that's what i'm saying it's like bro we need guys like this who are obsessed with getting better who are obsessed with winning championships who understand that defense can't be overlooked i'm really happy that joey gallo is our left fielder next year i know that he's going to strike out a time i think he's going to hit a little bit better average wise and i really think it's going gonna be nice to have all his home runs being hit for us um but most importantly i love the fact that we're we're not putting out a reclamation project in left field we're not putting out an experiment in left field and playing playing in a division with the amount of right-handed pull hitters that we play in and we have a project in left field facts facts i'm sorry guys if you don't get the defense matters it matters it's so damn important i mean look at the yankees winning the championship look what the first baseman was you know what i mean they had they had of course tino then they had you know you know what i mean these posi there's very important positions and it's funny because two of the most important are the ones that fans talk [ __ ] about on the yankees is first base and catcher it's crazy ella yankee king goes ahead oh my god oh my goodness god man i mean i appreciate the super chat but you didn't have to give 9.99 for that fam i'ma keep it real with you i'm gonna keep it real you said uh pete and friends i bet you cashman does this because he's a bottom five gm pirates acquired labor torres yankees acquired jacob stalls there is no way in the world that that happens one i love jacob stalin's fan but he is not worth he's not going to be worth global torrez and on top of that i mean the pirates have nick gonzalez on el cruz you know they got a ton of guys in didn't feel second third and short it's probably going to be covered for years to come they don't need yeah it wouldn't it wouldn't make a ton of sense right there um to do something like that uh if you're if you're adding i'm not even gonna i'm not even gonna start talking about labor to the pirates at all because none of that makes sense i don't think they'd even want them for brian reynolds to be honest i think they look more towards prospects that can help him now and in the future um to go that route but yeah i appreciate the super chat fam i i don't see that buddy i'm sorry i uh lie gotta love you uh we miss you we miss you on twitter don't know what happened to you there yeah why are you not yet throw it in the in the in the section down there why are you not back on twitter because i thought you came back for the yeah killed you crushed you killed joe killed you for a minute he came for you you came back you rescued you resurrected for a second and then you disappeared again so we're trying to figure out uh yeah super chat us super chat is that why the hell what's going on with you on twitter um but yeah bro i don't know this whole thing with labor tours i know eli you love glebe torres i'm sorry buddy but i mean if again if i had my weight laboratory is not on the yankees next year there's just no way well to be fair their best alignment doesn't have a minute and i mean that's just and that's true and that's and that's why because i'd rather i'd rather have dj le mayhew playing second base and i i am comfortable losing the potential of global tourism i'm not saying that laboratories is going to be bad we say this all the time it's like a broken record laboratory is probably going to be fine if we trade him somewhere else he's probably even going to be an all-star if we trade him somewhere else i don't necessarily need him over here trying to figure that out can i tell you it out elsewhere can i tell you why i'm very much against labor taurus it's the same thing for gary sanchez now i'm just being real because that's that's all we do here so i'm just going to tell you my honest opinion i don't think neither one of them truly care and i'm being honest i don't think neither one of them truly care about the projection of their career i think they both have talent and they're both talented guys and they just live off that alone i don't think you see either one of them we talked to kevin kernan right kevin kern never mentioned that they're one of the guys out there early that they're there early in the morning they're there this he said that you know neither one of them are anything special but he expects that he'll be back at second base but i look at them and looking at this offseason i don't like to judge things off pitchers and stuff like that and be like oh maybe he's getting a little heavy i don't know but i would like to see a guy like glebe torres that young you know really really look look terrific i like to see videos of glaiber torres working on things instead of seeing videos of labor tourists trying to model an outfit i mean even nothing together hanging out with all these guys miguel anders took two pictures one he's in gucci or something the other one he's in something else holding a bat and i'm like bro you know you're you're a baseball player fan why why don't we you know you haven't played in a long time why don't we see you on the field to shoot andew hartson bill he's actually been posting up some work out has he so i missed that so so mickey ander who i i i still love and i think you're going to have a really good shot to be a dh in the national league if somebody calls upon you i think you could hit i don't think anybody should ever question if this kid could hit he could hit miguel hit a baseball bat he's a natural born here he can hit but and he's going to be good he's going to be good in the no when they add the dh this year and and look ryan's right let's call it like like it is gary and glabor are losers i feel the same i feel that way i do they're not i don't think not losers in life because they're successful i'm not gonna you know they got to that level they're not losers in life yeah i feel like they are not winning players i feel like these are losing players i don't win a lot with a lot of these guys on your team i would say my assessment of gleber and gary is that they're not championship players well there you go they're not i don't think that their championship material that's that's my take on them i said it when we had this conversation on desert we'll make it even in our episode yeah we can make it even easier we both feel the yankees are a better team without either one of them yeah no yeah that's and that has no knock on them as players because we both agree simple as that they may be very good elsewhere and they're talented guys neither one of us is saying that gary sanchez is completely untalented no of course not he is a very he is a very talented great point felix brought up a great point felix said if there was ever a time to trade uh stanton if the yankees ever want to do that not saying that they would but he's saying the best position for gary sanchez is as the h and then he even went on that went on the point of even saying well if other teams wanted the trade for him you can't say that teams wouldn't be lining up to trade for gary sanchez at the h i think a lot of teams will want him no i think i feel like if we non-tendered him if we non-tendered him and he was out there to be had i feel like the models will pick him up right away because they question they're looking for they're looking for offense they also are looking for a catcher they know he's not going to be the best defensive catcher but they know that the dh is coming to the nl and they know gary so they'll pick him up they'd pick him up the phillies might pick him up as a dh option there's so many places that would pick them up i would i would put my hands on fire for this one most of the teams in the national league would be like yeah even the bad teams the nationals would say yeah we could trade them we could see these guys at the age and then trade them yeah because he's gonna get because make no mistake about it when gary sanchez only has to focus about on hitting he's a hundred percent going to become a way better hitter than he's been the last couple of years you're going to see the average go up you're going to see the house go up even if his average goes up to 235 240 tops if that's tops he he would arguably be an elite dh but if he's go as i'm saying if gary sanchez is getting up to 235 240 and he's hitting you 35 plus home runs huge a lot of teams are going to want that that is what he here's what we're saying he's not going to do that as a catcher on the new york games no and i think we've seen we've seen that that is not going to happen so that means that his value is probably as a dh we do not have that position open because that is manned by giancarlo stanton right now and he is much better at it than gary sanchez would be so bye bye gary sanchez it just it is it's nothing personal it's nothing whatever it's just like you're not championship material for what we need you don't fit that material so you got to go laboratories what i mean i might have to make that shirt the glamorous ass shirt so tyler thank you for throwing laborers ass in there and remembering that that shirt still might have to come out something i might give him a shot i might if he's a yankee i might give him a shot and let him play a little bit but the glamorous ass shirt is definitely in consideration it's definitely in consideration to make an appearance no doubt about it no doubt about it okay tim tim burns this is an interesting question i think what would you pay for martay simeon correa and trevor story hey let's play let's let's play some uh let's play some salary gm i'm gonna give you guys a heads up i'm not good at it i'm always bad at this crap i hate doing it but let's see let's let's talk let's think about this why not right it's yeah it's interest it's interesting that he let's see i'll say this i'll tell you uh marte i give uh let's see four years 64 million is that low ball i'm lowballing them am i low balling on them four years 16 mil a year that's 16 mil a year starting martial's three four years brings him to 35 is he 31 to 32 i think he's 32 can we let me google that um yeah guys i i hate the whole guessing salary stuff and guessing that's that's the one thing i'm always like doing it please don't ask me that but you know what it's fun right why the hell not we here we're chilling with family might as well pee wee booney merch needs to come out you better believe it marta will get about 20 million justin you might be right he might he might three years 60. uh three years sixty i mean i feel like i feel like he i feel like he can get a fourth year from somebody so you probably have to go four um i wouldn't do if i would never do four years eighty exactly so if you're gonna go four if you're gonna go four years listen i would say this all right all right you're a hard negotiator four year 72 that's 18 millipop take it or leave it guys p pete is awake he's way more shrewd than i am i'm telling you me me i would say i am willing to go about i'm definitely willing to go to 80. i'd say i'd be willing to do you gonna go to five years five years all right if i go to five years then the average annual value is going to be pretty low yeah i'll tell you what i'll tell you right now if i'm going to five years he's only going to get 80 for five um i'd be willing i'd be willing it was a 16 mil a year yeah i'd be willing to do i'd be willing to do 85 over four which is 21 85 over four 21 million a pop that's 21 million and the reason i say i'd be willing to do that is because i feel like the competition is heavy he's gonna get he's gonna get some crazy offers not crazy like 30 million a year but i'm saying like people are going to go 20 million 21 22. some people predict i'm getting 25 a year i think that's a lot but if the if the if the luxury tax threshold does go up the way people are predicting it to then you've got a lot of teams who are going to say [ __ ] it you're 25. i don't see that i can see that take it take it he's good he's he's good i mean he's just my thing is like yes he he's 32 so like we do you do got to be careful because the tools that i personally want to sign him for um one of those is the speed and as he ages that's obviously probably not going to be the same case so 25 seems like a lot to me but i'd be comfortable with 21.25 who was the other one he said trevor story trevor story okay trevor story trevor's story how old is trevor story 29 i think trevor story's 29 i think he's 29. maybe i'm not he was like thought he was like twenty-eight okay so 28 28 of 29 i believe trevor story 20 i'd be willing to go let's see how much this works out to be seven one eighty seven i'll tell you pete you are shrewd bro seven for 180 bro i have nobody he gonna go out there do it all they gonna see me today we ain't changing nothing i tried i tried the thing is that you know why you know why we would make a good team because like you got it you got to have some of that because every now and then somebody would somebody is going to sign for deals like that people don't think it happens but look at the groms contract look at ozzy look at look at the groms contract look at ozzy alvey's contract these guys were severely low bald and they took it you never know you really never know situations and and circumstances change a lot so you never know bro was there any way that trevor story takes a one-year deal for like 22 million i think anyway it's impossible that he expects a one-year deal somewhere to rebound not that he had a bad year but i think if i think it's very possible that if you if you're willing to go up a little bit on that average annual if you're willing to give them so let me ask you this 27. carl just said trevor store is 29 tomorrow what if he's 29 tomorrow 29 tomorrow so let's let's just you know have obviously having fun here i'd give them something wait a second wait a second somebody comes to you tomorrow and says the yankees are signing trevor stored a one-year deal for 27 million do you do it a one-year deal for 27 million that's all that's all that's your only commitment right there one-year deal that's it yeah i do it and he's your short you got it but you have to forget about seeger and everybody else and it's only for one year so you got to look at the situation again next year i do it i do it i do it i do it let me tell you why i do it i mean i'm right there with you i think you got to be nuts not to take a one-year deal from somebody let me tell you let me tell you what it is he's not i'm telling you he's take he's betting on himself and he's doing it on your team for a year and on the biggest stage in the market that's on the biggest thing that's ballsy one so if he if he does if he falls flat on his face and he's terrible then you might still be able to resign him if you need to i'm done i'm done with him after or or if you really need a shorts not that bad yeah get him really cheap then i exactly either i'm done with them after a year or i say hey you didn't have a good year but i'll i'll give you a multi-year deal just to keep you here because we like you yeah right if he kills it well that's great and you can still respond um i can still resign him um a lot of teams are out of the market because they signed all the shortstops from the year prior so i don't i'm not going gonna have too much competition to resign you and i'm gonna have the upper hand that you were with me for a whole year i gave you 27 million you played out of your mind you know what let's talk about a deal where i'm paying you about 25 24 annually long long term yeah i would do it i'd do it in a heartbeat so i think trevor story could consider that if the things take long like the negotiations take long and we get to february and corey seeger and correa are still dilly dallying wasting time guys like story are going to be the ones who pay for that because story's going to be a real tough deal to get because a lot of teams aren't going to pivot to him until correa and sieger are off the board and he probably would want to wait for that too yeah of course because he wants to up his value correct yeah correct you you gotta do that yeah you gotta wait you gotta wait until like you know what i mean like listen tropical fantasy cola doesn't look good in the freezer but when coke and pepsi are off the freezer and that's the only cola there now it starts looking good now i'm not saying trevor's story is tropical fantasy but you know what i'm saying you gotta you gotta let some of the other country club you know what i'm saying you got to let some of the other other options make space so if you're trevor story you can't sign before seeger or korea unless somebody goes out of their mind and do would it be a stroke of brilliance for cashman to just shock the entire industry and throw a deal at trevor story before december 1st that story i would i would i tell you what i would i would reach out to them yeah and i would have a game plan that basically says hey look we're going to give you a ton of money for one year but you're also going to be the best free agent in baseball next year actually i free at the free agent position at shortstop arguably one of them here's here's the interesting thing no johnny johnny you're right country club is banging i like country country club is fire we're not saying country club is delicious no doubt about it od most people are going to take a coke to over country club they don't know too much about country club but you know i do you know dude i say it i say it i say it like this listen it's not unprecedented trevor just did it simeon just did it and trevor and trevor bauer literally was was adamant about that was all he wanted so a lot of players are doing it and the reason they're doing it is because you don't get locked into a situation that you don't want to be in for a long time now trevor story doesn't seem like the guy who's gonna want to like go somewhere and then leave again and things like that it's another thing with anthony rizzo that's why a lot of people are like look like he wants to stay with the yankees or whatever because like he's a he's a creature a habit at this point if rizzo doesn't resign with the yankees a lot of people have predicted that he just goes back to the cubs and just hangs out with them throughout the rebuild which it would be crazy to like let his talent waste away there especially when you know that teams like boston are gonna go after him and stuff like like why would he do that but some players don't want to do that so if trevor story says hey man i want to be in a place long term but right now my market just isn't what i think it should be i'm not getting the value that i think i should be if i'm cashman i'll be like yo listen what do you want 27 30. you want 30 30 for 2022 and then we talk again i do it yeah i do it i do it in a heartbeat and then i'd go and like lock up robbie ray long term because i didn't just give like i'd go and do like other [ __ ] like you know what i mean because i just i got my shorts done for next year i'll figure it out like as it goes away again this is me do i see cashman doing that no cashman is about legacy and things like that whatever me as a gm i'm obviously i obviously would move differently because i'm not worried about a legacy i'm not worried about my ego me i'm worried nobody so i'm not i'm not worried about me i'm not worried about making a mistake no i think look trevor story i could i could see trevor story getting um let's say let's say 24.25 over eight what is that that's 194. it's 194. that's 194. let's say so let's let's make it a round number 195 over eight years that would be 24.3 million a year damn you did you see what is my goodness um i was this the first time i've ever seen this because i don't i don't really go on a lot of these uh sites and look at stuff mlb trade rumors projections they got him only getting 21 million over six years six years 126. trevor story trevor story 21 million over 16 million over six 126 over six years um shout out to mlb trade rumors because i i like the content that they put out and um yeah i think that they're they're good at a lot of things but that projection i disagree with they got marcus simeon has six years 138. guys six years 138 for simeon would be 23 you know simeon's getting at least 25. they got freddie freeman at six years 180. corey seeger he just turned down a better deal than that i think and then correa 10 years 320. and they all have seeger going to the yankees the first time i ever saw that robbie ray they got five years 130. uh 130 by five oh let me see let me see what they got you know okay robby robbie ray lander i want to laugh robbie ray is not is not inaccurate yeah that that doesn't sound oh he would say dirty starling oh my god i just kicked my camera my bed um starlin martay did i fix it yeah it's fixed okay starl and marte they have four years 80 million hey that's what we just basically said we said that so we're on there uh let's see i'm trying to find oh by the way um speaking of free agents that are out there i heard a terrifying rumor today i'm not true it is that the toronto blue jays are interested in chris taylor oh no i believe it so that's just more home run i'm looking for justin did i got justin verlander in here anywhere john gray at four years 56 million if that's the case would be a very nice deal for somebody that's a really really easy get uh john gray is gonna justin berlander at two years and 40 million am i the only one that's a nutcase no it's that pete the thing is it's i mean now i'm believing it's gonna happen but i'm just like i i don't know how i agree listen i agree with you i don't think that he is worth 20 million right now coming off with all the risk and everything but what i was saying in the chat and the other day like the reason i said like i would i would sign him for the two years 40 or like if he won if he was interested in saying and giving me like a little bit less like 19 or whatever then i do it it's because he's gonna get he's gonna get that because he already got offered the qualifying offer and the qualifying offer is already 18.4 so that means that houston who is who let you know george springer walk who's about to lose correa they're still willing to pay verlander almost 20 million dollars right uh the tigers are most likely going to be in on verlander the rangers will probably be in on verlander the mets a team that a lot of people aren't talking about the mets will be in on verlander the yankees will be in on verlander and guess who else la the angels as well as the dodgers will be in on verlander so what happens when that many teams are in on one guy and this is a cy young winner and the price goes up so that 18 all of a sudden starts looking like i don't know like i could probably listen man i could just take this 18. so if you're not offering me at least 20 over two then i might as well just stay where i'm at right i don't even got to uproot myself i just stay here in houston yep i feel like to get them out of houston you're gonna have you're looking at uh two years 40 to start somebody might be stupid enough angels to give him three years 60. they also have a good one here jan gomes two years at 10 million and two out of three guys thinks he goes to the yankees two years 10 million is a joke let me tell you right now if you can get young guns for two years and 10 million dollars you do it yeah you you do it but you also before you sign that deal you see what roberto perez is looking at of course i agree exactly because if yang domes is only looking at a two-year deal worth 10 million i've got one season yeah i wanna know i wanna know what perez's number is because remember what i was saying before it's all about player comparison because perez perez's number is not gonna be far off that and you know what if it's not then i'm going perez no disrespect to gomes he's still he's still a huge upgrade overseas i agree i agree i go right i go perez i go perez um has a lot of experience catching guys like coal and stuff too he hasn't caught cold but i'm saying guys like that he has he has experience so i want to get to this question here tyler pierce says um does ny news have a community discord um we do not uh let me get with killa joe about that cuz killer joe's the tech dude you guys wouldn't believe this and i tell you i am not big in technology or a lot of these other things out there right now we're learning because we got this gigantic launch coming in january so listen fam once you guys once you guys see our new intros and templates and all that oh my god he pete is not going to be able to get away with saying that he's not a tech guy anymore he's getting away with that [ __ ] now because y'all haven't even seen what we have coming for you in january and francis has seen it by the way francis and jim jimmy it ain't twitch baby it ain't twitter ny news it ain't twitch baby it ain't twitch baby listen it ain't twitch nah listen hey no disrespect to twitch we probably we probably could end up putting content there at some point there's gonna be a lot of stuff you never know i mean again like um just harping back on that because we're gonna we're gonna be we're wrapping up here any second we're a little over two hours yeah thank you guys but um you know looking at everything i mean everybody says why do i talk about january so i'm gonna i'll break it down for you why do you know we we've put a ton ny news started in 2005. so i don't think people really understand that so i was i was a much younger person than when felix started ny news and me and my arguably my best friend of my life growing up and for since since o5 we actually met each other from through the yankees and we decided to i decided to start working on that with him and writing articles and things like that and putting information out there so we've always had these plans but we also throughout life had different aspirations you know what i mean things change paths change and um at the end of the day you know we're all back here now pushing hard at this and we got an amazing team and just to let you guys know we have an even more amazing team coming on board starting in january and the reason why i'm so hype about it is because in my heart i truly believe that there is nobody else doing what we're about to provide yankee fans in january i truly believe that there is no one else that is doing it not even the yes network is giving you guys multiple different opinions multiple different angles you're going to have about four podcasts to watch weekly that's not even including pre-games and post games live like we're doing now that's not including round tables that's not including regular live chat that's not including regular videos from more than just me so you're getting many more opinions ny news tv is going to be absolutely amazing and the different the different opinions thing is big guys like it's huge one of my knocks one of my knocks on i'm not gonna call people out by name out of generosity since it's sunday but one of my knocks on some of the other you know content creators out there in yankee land is that there's just a lot of uh agreeable opinions on the same panels and things like that and i think it's good when you could debate certain things like i think i think it's good like to have different opinions have people up there i was listening to this podcast uh recently um and i'm not gonna name which one it is because they're actually coming on board with us and i don't want to drop out i don't want to let any cat out of the bag but i was listening to one of these podcasts and they were saying like some takes like about correa and secret things or whatever and i was like wow i really disagree with these guys but i was like i love i love that i disagree with them i like that i disagree with them because they were providing like different angles different insight that maybe i don't subscribe to but it was good to think about that for a little while like so these the people who think this way this is why they think this way it was nice to hear that but you don't get that if everybody just agrees with everybody need a little bit of debate neither hold on to end it with a bang laboratories will win a gold i will bet can we can we do something can we do something live on the air can we do something live on the air oh can everybody get me this is recorded so my side is covered i will right now li yanking i'll tell you right now give you my word 250 right now i don't know if youtube's going to ban me for gambling 250 you agree right that right now there is no way in hell glebe taurus wins a gold glove at second base 250 i give you my word the moment it's announced i'll send it to you if he wins i give you my word 250 no no you know what that's not even enough that's not even five we're gonna double that i'll go i'll i'll put 250 also i'll put i was going to say output 250 you put 250 and we set him 500 if labor tours wins the gold glove in 20. you lose you send both of us 250. li li are you are you willing to take that bet do you accept that bet there's no way here johnny said damn pete you mean 250 pesos from dr hey hey johnny that's what i'm going to send him i'm going to send him some pets so he ain't hey man let me tell you something that question alone just devalued the dominican peso to dollars per every per per up what is it oh hold on for one dollar hold on it get the plot thickens joe killa joe added 150 the pot is at six the pot is at 650. he hasn't responded he disappeared he bounced he sent it and bounced oh man he is something else man lie come on man you you got to give us a lie you can't say something like laboratories and gold glove in the same and then disappear i will literally throw in a pound of gobble ghoul with that and that's a hell of a deal oh man now johnny everybody throwing money

everybody contributing everybody that was just in the room thank you for a good time and we'll talk to you guys again soon oh

what is going on everybody pete simonetti here for nyy news the offseason is here you guys know and man oh man shortstop is the position that everybody's talking about from your beat writers to your mainstream reporters to your youtube content creators to fans to bandwagon fans and right smack dab in the middle of that are our beloved new york yankees who are they gonna go for you know the mainstream guys say it is correa or it's seeger that is what everybody believes right now so i'm not gonna talk much about corey seeger today because i definitely want to hit on carlos correa and i also want to hit on a uh rumor so to say or news i have been told by three different people now and you know well we'll get to that towards the end let's right now focus on carlos correa and and a little bit i'll start off with corey seeger a little bit we know the pluses on corey seeger right world series champion that's left-handed makes a lot of contact overall a good player we know he's not the greatest defender at shortstop the yankees believe they could move him over to third base he could play well there and um you know you don't want that middle infield defense of being labor torres and corey seeger it's not gonna be the best up the middle in baseball no doubt about that but again he got the accolades right he got the world series title he seems like he's a winner he's a good ball player good teammate all those good things we hear about corey seeger carlos correa and by the way before i jump any further on that one i'd be happy with seeger i wouldn't be upset about him most uh i i believe passing rosenthal only i think they all believe that seeger sherman is going to be a yankee they feel like that's the guy they eventually go for carlos correa i like the player i love the player i tell you off the bat one of the things i love most about carlos correa is he's edgy he has a pearl he has an attitude the yankees need a little edginess i talked about it when i said about them getting robbie ray he's a bulldog he'll go out there go after you if he needs to talk a little bit if he has to you know the yankees need that type of edge aaron judge you know isn't really hated by other people he's not really the enemy he tried to do something sometimes with the boombox and all that didn't really pay off or work out too well but aaron judge doesn't come across at all as the enemy you know he doesn't he doesn't have that persona about him now correa on the other hand people are going to hate him you know what i mean and if he's on the yankees they're going to hate us they're going to hate us they're going to hate that we got this guy and i know fans right away are going to bring up well he cheated and the team cheated and the astros astros astros did this correa said that you know correa's had some comments about derek jeter recently on whatever it was saying that you know he didn't deserve those gold gloves and things like that but you know brian cashman grace with him you know brian cashman had a lot of things to say about jeter towards the end of his career during those negotiations so i mean hey it is what it is i mean people could say what they want they can have their opinions um but we know what correa does good right he's a great defensive shortstop uh platinum gold glove winner platinum glove winner excuse me uh terrific overall uh does everything well in the field flashy does it all makes the easy plays makes the hard plays he's the best defensive shortstop of the crop that's available great arm great glove again everything there checks out a plus uh great bat big postseason hitter we know that we've seen that time and time again edgy to me is a pro some people see it as a con i see it as a major pro footage ball club cons i guess kind of what you hear i guess the fan a lot of the fan base uh you know they said aaron judge doesn't want him here and come on brian cashman isn't doing his job if that's even in his consideration gotta improve the ball club simple as that so for me as i said before call up with uh with corey seeger i like him a lot i also like corey uh i also like carlos um carlos correa no problem with either one of those guys signing with the yankees i have no problem at all we know it's going to take a lot of money most people project 300 plus for the both of them and we'll see those negotiations go uh from what i hear i've had a lot of people tell me that they feel that it is also gonna be correa or seeger that those are the two yankees are truly going after hard now i talk to on a weekly basis when i started i was about three now it's about five or six guys who who i trust who have given me good information there's three of them who i i truly trust one of them's a newer one who is um who's a friend who's really good he knows his basically uh been there and done that too so three of these people have told me this three of them have flat out told me hal steinberger is not gonna sign another 300 million dollar deal we'll see where that goes but i've had three people tell me the same exact thing he will not sign a 300 plus million dollar contract knowing that he wants aaron judges to stay a yankee he wants aaron judge to stay a yankee and he's not going to lock somebody in for 300 plus million dollars those three other people have also told me do not believe the whole idea that the yankees have soured on trevor's story they told me all three of them said they think that is the short stop the yankees actually land trevor story because again i don't like to get into the estimations of money and all that i just never really liked that stuff of guessing that um but it's very much expected that story is going to get a lot less than seeger or correa so the yankees mindset there could be maybe we can upgrade center field with a martay maybe we can upgrade first base you know maybe we can do some different things with saving a little bit of money or not going as crazy as we expected but really putting extra production into the into the batting order that's not necessarily trade driven would you you know got your play with that also afterwards but i've heard that from three different people and these are three good people these are three people that that know their that have been right many times before so we'll see what happens but again the other people i talked to seemed to fall in line with your rosenthals and those guys that said they fully expect the yankees to go to possibly payrolls 260 70 80 maybe even 90. so you know everybody i talked to personally to on dms they asked me oh pete what are they gonna do what are they gonna do i tell everybody the same thing there's a ton of conflicting stuff out there right now there's a ton of it i can give you what i think could happen but there's a ton of conflicting things out there right now what that just tells me is that the yankees have their hands all over the place right now they're trying to figure out what would be the best fit they're trying to figure out how the off season goes if brian cashman is really doing his job guys that's the way to go about it right now there's a lot of changes that need to be made in this club and if you're just focusing hard on one or two guys it's not usually what gm's do anyway but he needs to have his cards on the table and he also needs to have a really good template with some with some really good ideas on it of uh twists and turns that can happen in this offseason we know teams like detroit are gonna be you know spending some money we know texas are to be spending some money so it really depends on how many guys you know want to win or want the money more and it's never going to be a i don't think it'll ever be a gigantic gap of a difference but you know is it possible that seeger signs for under 300 maybe correa i don't see so as much i think somebody's gonna offer him that maybe not who knows uh story definitely he's gonna sign under 300 that we know it might sign under 200 or probably will i think most estimations have him signing under 200 million so it depends it depends it's a very interesting time for the yankees i do know that there's definitely interest in correa we know to this interest in seeger and you don't got to take my word for that take the mainstream guys out there if you want to believe them that's fine and again if you hear me saying don't count out trevor's story that is me telling you guys what i've been told and there's not a lot of mainstream guys out there saying they're saying that they have soured on them i'm hearing that it's not necessarily true so we'll see what happens on the market with story but i'll tell you what depending on what else they do i wouldn't mind story too much very good defender plays a lot not usually out due to injury and things of that nature of you guys one of the stats i brought up earlier about carlos correa is and this is not me you know knocking him or saying uh don't go after him a lot of yankee fans when they talk about aaron judging an extension they like to say well we don't know if that's the best idea because he's injury prone and he's this and he's that since 2017 aaron judges played 45 i mean i messed that up didn't i 45 more games than carlos correa has since 2017 once judge became a regular he has played 45 more games than carlos correa so that's an interesting stat because you don't hear that much about carlos correa that he's injured a lot and and things of that nature you don't really hear about that a lot um you do hear about it a bit with corey seeger but um you don't hear much about carlos correa but he's you know he's had his his fair share over there so you know um um for the people saying that the yankee fans saying that specifically you know hold your horses a little bit guys hold your horses a little bit so overall guys i wouldn't mind any one of those three i'm just telling you what i'm here to say is don't count out a deal for trevor story don't be upset if the yankees don't get one of those top two there's a lot of ways this offseason could go that's why it's so interesting that's why you got so much conflicting reports out there but i'll tell you what don't be shocked when you hear that the yankees have met with his agents or there's been conversation there or a rumor starts up trevor story the yankees tried to trade for him remember at the deadline uh the rockies played it horribly we know that they wanted too much from everybody they end up not trading them at all just a horrible job by the rockies but the yankees were one of the last remaining teams in there trying to get trevor story so and then they obviously turn to anthony rizzo and brings them over so it'll be very interesting to see again great options out there love the edge that court that uh that carlos correa could bring to this club i think it's very needed and and we know who corey seeger is we know the type of bat what that would do to this yankee lineup and how much more dynamic it would make it any of these guys makes the yankees offense better one we know that uh the pros usually really outweigh the cons for all of these guys in my opinion especially upgrading what our shortstop has been so that would be a major upgrade either way so guys again in the comment section below let me know what you think about all this all the news that i'm putting out there right now about story the just the idea overall who you would want out of those three for right now correa seeger and story and think about money too you know think think of you being in the seat there what you would do would it open up a chance for the yankees if they got a guy like trevor story to maybe get robbie ray also to maybe get sterling martay think about the things that can open up potential trades too uh what it could do for the yank so let me know again in the comments below and if you guys have not subscribed please go ahead and do so put the notifications on so you never miss an ny news video again guys i am pizza minetty for the one the only nyy news i will talk to you guys again very very soon thank you tell me

what is going on everybody pete simonetti here for nyy news the off season daily daily has something going on today is a player that you guys if you are a regular subscriber got so many new subscribers so thank you guys so much but if you have been a regular or if you've watched me and never subscribed and you still don't and hopefully you do but if you have watched me for a long time you're going to be familiar with this name because i've told you guys the yankees have had interest before now it's being confirmed again by a lot of the mainstream guys um brian reynolds pittsburgh pirates it's becoming a daily rumor and if they don't get him now it'll continue to be a daily rumor until he's traded because the one thing we know for a fact with pittsburgh is this guy is an elite ball player he's young he's eventually gonna come due and he'll be moved whether it's at arbitration or before that he'll be moved uh when it gets to that time it's the pittsburgh pirates they're not gonna hold on to a superstar unless they somehow lock him up early but eventually brian reynolds will be traded so it's either gonna be a constant story for years to come or it's gonna be something that pops off now and it could make some sense so for the fans first of all who do not know who brian reynolds is pittsburgh pirates center fielder young 26 years old will be 27 next year on the season had a six war had a career high with 24 homers 302 average uh eight triples 20 again 24 home runs 90 rbis five stolen bases 75 walks on base percentage 390 batting average 302 as i said slugging 522 ops 912. this is a terrific ball player 35 doubles again good center fielder also just uh 2022 projection has him again having a solid year uh that's with the pirates so again with the team like the yankees it would be very interesting to see how those projections would change i'm definitely we're bad at the top of the order uh would be tremendous but let me go ahead and just kind of level set with you guys here i know a lot of good people in pittsburgh um it's actually one of the teams where if again you guys have paid attention to me and have watched me for a while you would know i always have good information on pittsburgh whether it comes back to the time of the cold trade whether it's jamison tyone um whatever it may be when the yankees are dealing with pittsburgh um just as recently as last year when clay holmes i was the probably one of the only guys saying everybody hold on a second i got some great information on who this guy is and we saw he was actually elite and that's what i was told when they got him like it was oh pete you know hold up a second you guys actually got a pitcher who is really really good and the only reason why i got that information is to have really good connections out there with guys in pittsburgh who know the team see the team watch the team are very familiar with the way they go about their business so one of the things i've heard about today when i asked about it was quite simple they'll listen the pirates will listen if a team comes to the table and blows them away and they know that they can replace reynolds and then add immediately within the next one to two years because if you guys don't know the pirates people hear the pirates and are just like uh it's the pirates who cares no no no no no wait a second the pirates have legitimate players coming up they got cruz at short gonzalez coming up at second base could play third i believe also um again you know about uh keep ryan hayes already they got uh davis who's one of the they just drafted as a catcher is going to be ready soon then i mean they got a lot of swaggerties another guy heads another guy in the outfield uh quinn priester um former yankee contreras uh terrage i think his name is i forgot his last name but he's another starting pitching prospect um something like that his name is i forget how to say his name but point is they got a lot of good going for them when it comes to guys coming up um and a lot of those guys are very very close so you're looking at within 2022 to 2023 these guys are going to be ready so when you look at a trade like this you look at it from the pirates perspective we don't have to trade brian reynolds we have no reason to trade we might be able to win with him at least become contenders with him and they could that's not a joke that's not me being that's not be you know joking about this the pirates have a chance to be a contender in the next two to three years no doubt about it um if they get lucky and these guys come up and perform next year 2023 they could fight and be a much better club uh i think the main 2024 2025 potentially they could they could really be a very very good squad so looking at that at the pirates point of view okay we'll consider it we know some clubs got great farm systems one of the clubs that are also interested in rentals per reports i can't really speak for other clubs but perta reports of the mainstream guys are the mariners the mariner's got a ton of prospects one of the best systems in the game so if the mariners approach them and go well we'll give you this this this this and that one three four seven and eight on our pool or maybe a guy that's already at the level you guys like you know we can we can talk about that the one good thing that the yankees also do have because i'm not a mariners channel of course i'm gonna speak on what the yankees trade would have to be is if you could convince the pirates and say to them well we're getting one of your major leaguers i would like to add stallings in on that but i'll get i'll get to that later i would like to give you all multiple major leaguers for your one major leaguer and they're also controllable what that could mean is first of all one of your top guys gotta be in there and i'm almost gonna hold out peraza on this deal because i think that's an olsen thing and the yankees can still build on that but just speaking of this so if i add peraza forget the olsen stuff for now this is just a video based on what it could take right now to get reynolds if if if these are all ifs because again guys you know i don't like doing all the trade stuff but what you're looking at is saying okay one of our best prospects is jason dominguez we'll entertain that well entertain dominguez you guys like them cool but how i'm going to try to convince you of this deal is that dominguez isn't ready so he's not going to help that pool of where you guys think you contend soon you're looking at 2024 2025 that'd be ready which could actually be a great time for your organization what we will do is supply you right now with guys who are already close to being ready very very close estevan floriel could immediately take over in center field luis heal could immediately jump into the rotation davy garcia could immediately jump into a rotation or a bullpen clark schmidt the same thing and these are still top prospects but then we got prospects luis medina oswald peraza they already got a lot set up on the infield so i don't know how interested they would be in a guy like peraz i'm sure he still would be but medina heal um oswaldo cabrera could potentially be a starter this year um everson pierre could also be an outfielder very very close to being ready so the point here is if you can convince them to say look we can actually supply you with two to three cost-effective guys at the major league level right now or within next year that you can build upon if that's something that's attractive to the pirates which if i were to pirates it would be because if i could say okay i'll trade reynolds i already have his replacement in center field with estevan floreal who may hit for more power he pro he'll bat less he's not the same player but he could supply us with a lot of power he could also surprise everybody and be very good as i believe he will become we know his glove is great in center field we know he has an arm we know he can run so he's going to steal us more bases than reynolds does he could potentially for more power yeah he's gonna strike out more yeah he's gonna bat lower but we're not contending next year this kid may turn into a really good ball player we know jason dominguez is down the line we know what that talent looks like that's a blue chip prospect louise heal fits into our rotation very nice now at rusny contreras maybe keller gets it going finally brutabaker maybe we got something a little something going on there quinn priester isn't far away i like the sound of that i like the sound of that oswaldo cabrera could play all over maybe he's almost ready to go so a lot of good there a lot of ways you could make it make sense for the pirates i still believe the more realistic guy so francis actually sent me this india he's like pete would you give up the top top guys if they added stallings also so he's talking about volpe and everybody else i'm like whoa that's a tough one with if i entertain that you must have the other guys involved also and what i mean by that is you gotta know you're signing seeger you gotta know you're getting robbie ray because if you dump the farm you gotta know that team you're putting out there is like unheard of it would have to be a team that's like fam if these guys stay healthy not even aaron boone could make this team bad like it's that type of thing like if you added reynolds seeger stallings ray maybe maybe another pitcher maybe olson i don't know how you do it but if you do some astronomical buxton maybe you do some astronomical thing then then you could maybe empty the farm a little bit but in reality to sum up this video i don't think it happens i don't think reynolds is traded i think if he is it would be amazing if the yankees get him it's gonna cost a lot it's going to hurt but get stallings too then if that's ever the case you know add up on both positions yankees can't make all these trades and and keep gary sanchez around so you guys have been amazing by the way views are through the roof subscribers are through the roof guys we had a goal like i said of 6 000 subscribers by january 1st we're already at over 5700 we're about 290 something away from breaking that goal already we might have to increase that goal uh come december so again guys thank you so much for everything you're doing thank you so much for enjoying the page talking about it the way you are again comments below let me know what you think of brian reynolds is it possible in your opinion from what i hear likely not but if it is it'll be a absolute blowout deal they're gonna have to really knock the pirates out their seats to make a deal so you guys again let me know in the comments below do you like reynolds what would that trade look like for you on the yankee side who would you be willing to offer again guys this is pizza manetti for the one the only nyy news talk to you all again very very soon tell me

hey everybody what is going on pete simonetti here for ny news i know we did a live chat yesterday but guys news is hot this off season already and i gotta talk about it so i had a good conversation this morning with somebody very much in the know of the yankees thinking and the great thing i got about this because you guys know i haven't i wouldn't say i've been negative but i've been down on the talk and we're gonna do this and we got latitude and all these other things that brian cashman says i'm all about action this team we know they got to make changes we saw the deadline they recognized the righties were too much they brought some lefties in there's hope here that there may be significant changes i'm telling you this right now because i am told that brian cashman's approach this year is very different in the regard right now i don't know much about the money side we'll take him at his word for that we'll see where that goes but again even the way he said that yesterday could really go anyway but i am told the table is is is empty the prospect pool is to the side he opens the bag up lifts it up and pours them all on the table and goes let's play games here let's play ball that's what i'm told including some other pieces the man this video is about briefly labor taurus i'm told by my best guy don't be shocked if gleber taurus is moved his reasoning is he's the guy still that a lot of teams want and brian cashman isn't backing down from that there has been no har line drawn in the sand that says glaber's untouchable we're not doing it now again labor may not be moved and cashmere will come out and say you know he's an untouchable we like him we want to do this but my understanding is for some of the big names out there your olsons whatever could tell martes maybe maybe there's other trades out there that present itself for starting pitching miami labor tours wouldn't necessarily hinder a deal now would the yankees do labor plus multiple top prospects i don't know i i don't know if they would do that my understanding is everyone is on the table the one name you hear a lot about that isn't is what we talked about yesterday that's anthony volpe yankees really love this kid because they feel like he's the next jeter and they feel like he's very capable of moving to third or second base if he really needs to they do feel his body's getting bigger so he's gonna hit for more power and that may hinder his defense a little bit at short but they love him there so here's a tweet i put out today and this is basically regarding this so i wanted to make this video because i want to give a little meat to what uh a short tweet says i said glaber is not an untouchable not at all don't be surprised if he has moved in a major as a major part in the trade so that has been brought up to me now by just to put it bluntly for you guys somebody who knows his if he said it it's legit and most of the stuff that i put out quickly and to talk about i'll do it in confidence if i'm told by that person i always tell you guys this if i'm told by a few others i talk to i want to get it confirmed by somebody else then i'll put information out but don't be shocked if glebe taurus is moved now some of you may sit back and go but pete why he's controllable isn't that kind of what the yankees want in a way yes but remember many ways the yankees go this offseason really determines how their infield's going to look let's play a game yankees trade for olsen let's say gleber's not part of that deal let me tell you why he probably should be trade for olsen they signed corey seeger and now you're looking around going um we also you know gave a lot of money and years to dj lemayo we know he was hurt last year defense wasn't bad wherever he played really he's best at second base we know that but he was injured we got an excuse for him we'll see how he does when he's healthy but we kind of know who this guy is so what do we do with him he's the least value of dj lemayo is moving him off second base you drop his value to your own club third base first of all he's not great great defensively there he's good he's passable but he's not dj lemayo at second base who's arguably one of the best second base defenders in the league and at first base i've been on record of saying i think he'd do good i think it would be his other best position second or first i think is our best position but second by far so you brought in seeger who's not great defensively we know that not terrible he's average maybe he's slightly above slightly below however you feel however you see the eye test and then of course analytic numbers however you want to look at those but the best infield at that moment would be geo back at third or you know you got kyle seeger out there who's a good third baseman also another lefty there's a lot of things you could do there but let's just say let's just go with geo geo at third see your short second base you got glabor there first base you got olsen your middle of the order of the line of the of the field is not good now replace that and say you got geo seeger dj and olsen boy so this is big news because look if the yankees recognize something to that level i'm on record i'm on record you guys know this i'm on record i've said it the yankees come out there they dump gary sanchez i am getting hyped for this offseason but if they keep the same guys around i'm not getting hyped i got a feeling to be one or two and that's it and that's not enough i've been saying that but it's good to know that cashman is very willing to wheel and deal and he's very willing to deal guys that he acquired we know what cashman's ego is that is legit anybody would tell you that anybody would tell you cashman's ego gets in the way of what he does we know he trades with a lot of the same teams good news for the yankees fans is olson is one of them olsen is one of them sorry i'm getting i'm getting so many messages today it's crazy i love this time of year i live for this i live for this um but olsen is one of them i mean oakland is one of them and olsen's the guy we want don't be shocked cashman goes out there and gets olsen and a starting pitcher because if you're looking at a deal that could possibly include glaber voigt and then multiple prospects you're also beating up you know killing two birds with one stone there you're getting a legitimate legitimate first baseman only makes about 8 million and a starting pitching starting pitcher to go into your rotation that i i on record also saying i think you need to then you got money to play with then you got seeger maybe correa maybe a center fielder maybe starlin marte in a three-year deal two years in an option i don't know higher aav you also got the potential of an extension of aaron judge oh here we go the best yankee infield has dj lemayo at second base can't deny that there's no way no way and no form of denying that the best yankee infield is digital mayor second base so without you know going any further i'm gonna get back to doing what i do i'll get videos will come immediately if there's information but the news i have right now is that brian cashman the war room for brian cashman has all of his soldiers on the field that may be a little hesitant with one guy and that's volpe they don't want to move but my understanding is everybody including glaber torres is on the table gleber torres could be on the move that will be very very interesting to see if it plays out that way but it's good to know that early talks have not stopped because of certain names being mentioned that alone is very very important stay tuned guys more to tell come

have you engaged with the representatives for the free agent shortstop i started yeah i mean i i slowly because we're doing dealing with coaching stuff but but uh i've already you know had two conversations with two just two separate conversations with two separate you know uh players that represent short agents that represent short stops just so so it is now being reported that the shortstops the ages of the shortstops that brian cashman is talking to it's been confirmed now by people don't really think this guy's credible but i'm going to give him the benefit of doubt jim bolden tweeted out that according to sources the yankees are in conversations with agents for both corey seeger and carlos correa hashtag confirmed now this doesn't come as a big surprise we all know the yankees would be interested in corey seeger and carlos correa specifically those two in my honest opinion uh cause korea has the higher leverage here as garrett cole was one of his former teammates and look i don't really like i don't really want justin verlander on this ball club if you listen to my uh previous video i explained it in detail but even verlander with garrett cole been a yankee we've all seen that uh garrett cole has some sort of pull when it comes to acquiring his former friends uh take uh taiyon as if for an example in um homes for an example so realistically we all know that gary cole has some sort of influence when it comes to let's say the yankees coming to him and asking him a question what do you think about these guys and he's going to give his honest opinion so for an example if the yankees ring up coal and ask him what do you what do you think about these guys what do you think about carlos correa how would you think he would fit as a yankee what do you think about rurlander how how do you think he would fit as a yankee we all know the answer right he's going to vouch for them former teammates that's why i see carlos correa having higher leverage than a corey seeger not only because of that i really explained it in detail if you guys want to see my previous video but if you didn't um carlos korea when i he has the numbers when it counts you see his postseason numbers it's about one i would say similar to seeger i'll saying 25 percent better if you compare those stats and i'm not trying to take anything away from seeger but my intuition says that the yankees if they're searching for a short stop carlos correa is number one on their list so yankees fans that has been the breaking news the confirmed agents brian cashman has been talking to happen to be agents of cory sieger and carlos correa so yankees fans like always leave your opinions in the comment section below this has been felix from mly news.com share like and subscribe and i will check you on me

yo new york fans yet again it is felix from nynews.com like always welcome yankees fans is that time of the year congratulations to the atlanta braves i know i'm late but um i haven't uploaded a video since they won the world series and it's amazing they want it without utilizing a whole bunch of players that they don't for an example like johan carmago who is a sleeper might i add a switch hitter third baseman utility infielder that the braves barely utilize and they did it without acuna either so congratulations to the atlanta braves it doesn't matter well it doesn't matter how many games you win in the regular season but it matters when you get hot and get on a roll the braves certainly proved that and so did the uh washington nationals in 2019 so again it's that time of the year again the hot stove that time of the year where yankees fans in particular are on the edge of their seats waiting for the yankees to act like the yankees and you know sign everybody and their mother if you ask me that's what's going to happen you have a whole bunch of disgruntled fans out there and what better way to make a splash and let's say sign a carlos correa i don't think the yankees are going to sign seeger i think they're going to sign correa to be honest with you guys yes uh seeger is a left-handed bat but carlos correa has the numbers when it counts his post season numbers are incredible and uh the houston astros uh insulted him i mean you know 30 million dollars per year but the years weren't there it's not that insulting when we're talking about money and we're just regular people not making that kind of money but it's pretty insulting when you offer a guy in like calls correa that kind of contract after what he did for your franchise you could call him like a franchise player as well so uh yeah uh carl's career is not resigning with the astros also for an example you got guys in the minor leagues like volpe peraza waiting for their shot volpe has a lot of uh fans out there rightfully so he's been performing he's basically the best uh farmhand that the yankees have and if you sign a guy like uh calls correa he has the body frame to move over to third base and again you guys know that i would love the idea of carlos correa on his team i've been saying it for over three years now when it was the unpopular thing to say and plus i like it even more because it triggers these um screw correct he's a cheater i don't want him on my team he bit the yankees by cheating you know it triggers those kinds of fans but um you know the astros have reached the world series over and over again after that scandal so and carlos correa's numbers are still there when it counts the postseason and you could say he's a semi uh all-star in the regular season i'm not saying they didn't cheat but obviously carlos correa's numbers weren't that affected that much you know like his arm his defense that guy has a cannon for an arm he's just clutch he has the uh the attitude of a player that i want on this specific team see i've been complaining a lot that this team is soft they need a boater like carlos correa simple as that so moving along there's talk out there that the yankees or i haven't heard this specifically that the yankees would be interested in signing a verlander you see back in 2017 i took a lot of flank when it came to the yankees training for sunny gray or the uh talk that they wanted to trade for sunny grey was between vern lander and gray and a whole bunch of people are pushing sunny gray to the bronx even the new big newspapers i'll give credit to the yes network they were actually pushing for a justin berlander but some long story put short i told my boy pete i said hey the team that trains for vern lander they're going to be your 2017 world series champions and bam it happened i was 100 pushing for the yankees to trade for verlander but if you ask me today do i like to see verlander as a yankee i would have to tell you no you see this is going to rum some people the wrong way but i'm going to be 100 real the 2022 season is going to be an experiment for garrett cole as we saw his numbers get wacky after uh sticky substances being banned there's been talk in the past that justin bernlander is that same kind of picture that he needs help with the grip gripping the baseball so i would not like a 39 38 year old joining the yankees when i know he's that same kind of picture and i'm not trying to bash garrett cole i'm not just trying to experiment with two guys and knowing that justin verlander is an all-star type picture imagine if he implosion in new york this guy's just going to get destroyed so yeah in 2021 and juan used felix is now passing on justin rolander after being a fanboy of his back in 2017. moving along luis castillo and i'm going to tell you this i'm going to take credit for sparking that rumor that got so big that the rest gm had to come out and say uh luis castillo is not on a trade market i'll take credit for that i've made numerous videos about louise castillo but he's another one he had a weird finish as well he finished about one eight and 16 or something like that but his numbers were somewhat there was he another picture affected by the sticky substance ban who knows there's a lot of talk that it's going to be added or whatever taken out of the negotiations the cba where they're going to put a better grip on the baseball i don't know but it seems to me these uh power pictures you know curveball pictures were basically destroyed by uh this band so who knows if they uh allow these pictures to somewhat get a better grip on the baseball with these negotiations we we don't even know if there's going to be a season in 2022 who knows but if you ask me if luis castillo's out there i've made plenty of videos about him i always wanted him as a yankee but something tells me that brian cashman is not that smart and he's going to pass on him hey maybe he could prove me wrong but brian cashman his credibility with me has gone down the drain for obvious reasons and when i say me i mean mostly the yankees fans out there yes luis castillo is available confirmed by the reds themselves let's see now moving along to the first base situation do you resign rizzo do you make a trade with the half linux for an olson or do you move dj la mayhew who's going to be a yankee for seasons to come do you move him to first base permanently you see here's my take i had this opinion a few weeks ago you trade glamour torres you make that train with the oakland a's you sign the calls correa and boom that's your uh 2022 infield uh matt austin dj lemay who at second base carlos correa at shortstop and geo urchella at third it's that simple play dj lemay here in his natural position you have a chip and taurus you could basically include them in the package for any player out there and you know matt austin would fit perfectly in the bronx that swing would dominate in the bronx and he's on the trade market so yeah i would do it uh nice knowing you glabor wrapping this up here's the time here's the players that i wouldn't like the yankees to obtain just wrapping it up from what i was saying earlier matt olson carlos correa and maybe a luis castillo all these players one of these players you get via free agency two of these players to get retreat and oh yeah i just reminded myself of this that luis rojas the former manager of the mets is potentially going to join the new york yankees as a third base coach or whatever and a lot of yankees fans hated that idea or hate that idea why it is a positive in my opinion bringing in a dominican coach are these guys forgetting about tony pena luis rojas comes from a baseball family do you guys forget who his father is so hell yeah i like that idea bring him over here he's going to help a lot of latin players on this ball club i'm not saying the yankees don't have latino coaches like mendoza but this guy there's a whole bunch of dominicans playing for you guys so yes make it happen it's close to happening but yes make it happen i know there's a lot of players that are left out if you guys want to uh leave your opinions we have a new segment called ny news mic pass and the information to submit your audio was left on there hey if you guys disagree with me or need to chime in some more send me your audios so again leave your opinions in the comment section below and like always this has been felix from nynews.com share like and subscribe and i will check you out next time friends

what is going on everybody pete simonetti here for ny news guys starting pitching has not been a major topic of conversation really among a lot of yankee fans um there's a lot of yankee fans out there who want them to add but there are some who are kind of in that mold right now that last year we pitched well so you know maybe we invest elsewhere guys i have always been very very big on adding to your rotation look it's cute some guys did well last year right you don't know if that's gonna happen again you want arms arms arms that's what this video is about today talking about some of the news and the rumors of what is going on out there the first one being we'll jump right into it justin verlander is working out um at creasy's spot who eric creasy as he knows with the new york yankees one of the main reasons why the yankees got kluber they kind of got the quick heads up on it and all signs point that verlander looked absolutely terrific in his showcase throwing mid 90s still uh he's going to be 39 years old so i mean where we are right now i don't know how i personally feel about verlander i think he gets more than just a one-year deal i think he gets a two or three-year deal to be honest um or a year in an option but i think maybe a year in an option maybe it but i expect him to get a two-year deal and is that best for the yankees i know you know the tigers are involved there's going to be teams involved there with a lot of teams there to watch verlander pitch so for me you know i wouldn't be against it against it now if you guys remember when the astros got verlander the yankees got sunny grey back in the day i always give my boy felix credit cause felix told me pete whoever gets justin verlander is winning the world series and he told me he says sunny gray's not gonna be good here i was all for sonny gray i thought it was a terrific deal we know how that went i even think felix himself is not as comfortable with verlander right now than he even was back then i mean we were talking about multiple years ago but as a back end guy and that's kind of maybe what you get him for and kind of depend and see where he's at if you have that luxury if you go all pitching maybe and then you make some trades for the offense maybe that's something you do maybe that's something you do but um for me as of right now i'd be okay with it but i wouldn't be jumping up and down to go get this guy he wouldn't be my primary target he's something more on the back end the numbers look right you go for it but for now let's move on to the next guy luis castillo this is one that the yankees have been connected to before a rumor got so out of hand that the gm i think was was it last year the year before had to come out and be like yeah he's not being traded like calm down everybody this is a fake rumor but um it got so like crazy out of hand that this could happen and he just came out like yeah shut up drop drop the mic it's over this is not this is not happening um but luis castillo's another very very good talent got off to a rough start pitched really really well i think he pitched under a three era for like the remainder of the second half maybe even a little before the second half uh started so he has been terrific we know who this guy is it's gonna take a pretty decent haul to get a guy like luis castillo i believe he's a free agent after 2023 so you got two full seasons with him this is the type of move that you know a team like the yankees look to make they want to make moves like this you got some control he's not too expensive yet and you go from there he could be a legitimate ace he could be a one two three wherever you want him in there yankees have a chance now i personally believe to have a top three that is terrific and i'll tell you what i think it's gonna be what i hope it's gonna be and we'll go from there but that rumor came out because cincinnati is looking to shed salary and they've basically opened up the field and say look we'll deal any of these guys including luis castillo will move this guy if it's a deal if the deal is right for us and it looks good we will not be concerned to make this move so again luis castillo's on the table you're probably looking at multiple top prospects in this deal if that deal were to happen and the yankees take that route rumor is there's already teams you know reaching out seeing what it's going to look like what that deal could take the yankees have the prospects there's no doubt about that they got the players of the major league roster to that you know cincinnati may have some interest in they do trade with each other so that's a familiar thing if you guys watch the conversation with kevin kernan the one thing about brian cashman if you see him make trades a lot of times is with the same teams and general managers that he's comfortable with so he has worked with cincinnati before so maybe there's something there you never know um i would be all for i would love this deal um i would deal um you know again i tell you guys all the time i'm not a big fan of of trade scenarios and what that might look like and using a trade calculator and blah blah blah kind of just let it roll but i would be very very interested in going after luis castillo no doubt about it i would be 100 on them next guy as you guys know information i put out today i was told that al cy young i'm going to say it right now the a.l cy young winner robbie ray is looking for 20 plus million a season so a lot of predictions out there have them at four or five years guys i tell you what if you guys have been regular followers of this channel there's two pictures that i'm interested in that only cost money that i have been speaking about probably for four five years now on youtube and the guys who have been with me from way back in the day you could confirm this the yankees have tried to trade for robbie ray multiple times i was actually leading on those fronts two different times when they did try to trade for robbie right he held him back because of clint frazier and a few others so they've tried to trade for robbie ray brian cashman really likes him the other guy that i will talk about after this the yankees have also tried to trade for in the past and they do like him so it's potentially you know something could happen there but robbie ray guys i'm all over um the potential was always there i see people comparing andrew heaty heen dog which i hope i'll never have to say anymore because he's with the dodgers he's on an eight million dollar deal with the dodgers god bless you andrew heaney for getting that after what you did with the yankees god bless you god is good let me tell you um andrew heaney yeah he he's away so he's not an option for the yankees thank you lord that's our blessing his blessing is the 8 million our blessing is that he has no shot pitching for the yankees next year uh never rule out the future um but andrew heaney is gone but there's a lot of comparisons maybe that he's the next robbie ray and this and that guys i understand he's a lefty he strikes batters out and that's kind of it that's kind of the end of the comparison personality wise that nowhere near the same if you guys remember when heaney got here i told you guys i got a message from a friend he sent me the message and he said this is from a 20-year scout with the angels i said it right there i said it live flat out he doesn't have the stomach to pitch in new york he's not going to be able to handle it it's not going to be good it's not just by knowing him it's not gonna be good and it turned out not to be good i don't know if it was nerves i don't know if it was just bad pitching i don't know what it was but that was the early word i put that i put that information out there and his performance wasn't good we know that but to compare him to robbie ran like hold the horses a little bit i mean the comparisons really stop at that you know what i mean they're lefty they strike guys out and they're they were a little wild in their career that's that's it that's that's really it personality-wise they're different guys robby ray is a bulldog robbie ray is in the mulders roger clemens pedro martinez type this guy is a bull dog more so maybe than garrett cole robbie ray will throw at you robby ray is not scared he's not backing down so a couple of disclaimers though why i want robbie reagan to yankees one he's a bulldog as i already just said because i really think the yankees need more of that edge on this team they're too soft they're too soft i'ma just keep it real they're too soft they got the softest manager in the league you know what i mean he got them eating unicornios daily they're soft these guys throw up rainbows at the end of the day that's soft so when you look at the yankees adding a guy like robbie ray now you have two horses up top are bulldog types they're two horses up top that are workhorse they go out there and they give you some minute that strike you to hell out if the yankees and robbie ray they got a top two that could strike out 500 guys in a season that's a possibility they could potentially have one of the greatest strikeout rotations of all time bringing robbie wright also he's pitching the a at least also take him away from the very quickly rising toronto blue jays three he's pitching all the ballparks into the division we know that he's pitched in big games you know what i mean the negative to robbie ray let me just say this real quickly for the yankee fans and any fan out there who's gonna you know expect the same season as last year it's very possible but if he pitches to a mid-three era i still want him i still want the reason i say that is he's always gonna give up home runs it's the same reason why i got like guys like cole give them homers guys that work off of fastball excuse me guys that work off of fastball they give up homers because again they work off a fastball pretty straight hard but pretty straight guys hit it but robbie ray really really changed he really developed so much and a lot of that a lot of that really goes to the work and the dedication put in by the toronto blue jays so you got to give the blue jays a lot of credit the one thing that pete walker did who is the pitching coach for the toronto blue jays he figured something out with robbie or robbie ray if he's wild he's effectively wild and he's not walking to ballpark as he did in arizona he's effectively wild enough where he could just dominate through lineups because that's all robbie ray ever needed was to bring those walk totals down just a little bit the guy has the best k-9 ratio in major league baseball history get this man i cannot say it enough the personality the attitude it is worth the risk there's people out there that'll probably say pete don't you expect them to be worse yeah maybe maybe but that is a risk i am willing to take on a guy like robbie ray because if robbie ray i have no concerns on pitching new york by the way none whatsoever guys ice in his veins i have no concern about robbie ray pitching in new york he's not scared he's not going to back down if robbie ray could pitch to a mid 3 era 3.65 3.7 it's still a really good deal but i think he's even better than that i think robbie wright could even be better than what he was last year i don't think it's a fluke season do i expect his numbers to get much better no can i see him averaging out around that maybe low three high two that would be tremendous but this is the potential this kid has so you kid this is the potential this guy has so at the end of the day if you're the yankees you're gonna put money just cash towards something if there's a starter robby ray's your guy for me robbie ray's your guy a lot of people are throwing other names out there they're talking about hey p what about clayton kershaw um all these other names of guys that are available one of the other free agents that i know for a fact the yankees have interest in and they've had interest in is colorado rocky's pitcher john gray the yankees have an interest in him in the past i've reported on all that of the yankees being involved in john gray he turned down a deal i think it was three or four years for about 11 to 12 million a season with the rockies i still expect the same i think honestly at this point john greg was like just get me the hell out of colorado i i feel like that was the big thing for john gray he's probably like at this point just get me out of colorado enough was enough they have done such a bad job for really their fan base in the organization overall they have just done a terrible terrible job of of really working out guys leaving this organization they never traded trevor story as you guys are they didn't trade john great they thought they could resign them and as of right now it looks like that's not gonna happen they've just done a really poor job um of what they what they're doing with this team now a lot of people are gonna see john gray and they're gonna look immediately at his erase and say pete hold on buddy i can hear it you know 2016 461 2017 3.67 2018 fi uh 5.12 3.84 nineteen six i only only pitched eight games in 2020 the cove of the year six point six ninety array and then last year uh four point five nine era 29 games started and they're gonna immediately just sit there and say pete what are you thinking why can't do this no no no no no we can't do it well there's a lot of good signs um from robbie i'm not robbie rex from john gray last year first of all his feeling independent pitching throughout his career is way better than his era so his career era is 4.59 his career fielding independent pitching is 3.91 i don't know how much that has to do um with who robbie i like robbie ray i can't help it who john gray is but pitching in colorado isn't cute it's not the best thing in the world that you want to do as a starting pitcher and he's done a fairly decent job but a couple of good things last year's hits per nine were right about his best of his career so wasn't allowing as many hits home runs still around the same he didn't you know jump up with that walks were a little bit up walks were a little bit up but his strikeouts were really good 9.5 per nine it's another strikeout guy throughout his career there's been some injuries nothing too much you're looking at a guy's likely gonna give 150 plus year after year and he's pitched if not more than that there's only really the covert year we won't even count so there's only one full year that he didn't go over 150 innings that's going back to 2017 through 110 but then 172 150 last year 149 i count that as 150. who cares what's the difference so for me guys i i said it already i'm pretty sure you guys have probably heard me talk about this i am all for i am all for the new york yankees adding two starting pitchers you guys have seen me make my infield a lot of it is based off of trade and i go that route i believe this offense could be filled via trade i am not against signing a shortstop i would be all for it i'd be all for it but but i oh i really feel like pitching is so important then you get a guy like jacob stallings behind that plate that could really work with these guys sit back and enjoy sit back and enjoy so for me i look at a guy like robbie right no doubt about it you have a top two top three right there let's just say for the hell of it of garrett cole robbie ray and potentially a full and healthy louis severina that is nasty you could even take sevy out that picture right and you could just say we got cole and rey back to back two finalists for the cy young rey is gonna win it in my opinion i can't see how he doesn't but that's nasty it's about as nasty as it gets and i'm seeing what it takes to get a guy like john gray because again look you got james and ty on who's gonna miss some time jordan montgomery has shown himself to be a legitimate starting pitcher have him in the back end but let's have another veteran back there too let's not depend on the young horses let's not depend on the young guys imagine a nice rotation to start the year of coal rey sevi gray and monty or monty gray flip it however you want and then guess what you have when taion comes back a little thing i love to talk about team competition you want a pitch okay gotta do better somebody struggling the rotation no problem i'll take you out a couple of starts i love team competition i feel the yankees don't do that enough but give these guys whoever they get give them a good catcher you guys saw what jacob stalin's done pretty sure he saw my tweets guy has no past balls he doesn't allow he doesn't allow it this is what the yankees need so you guys are gonna do me a favor in the comment section below you are gonna let me know what you think the yankee rotation could be would you go after justin verlander would you go after louise castillo what would that trade look like would you go after robbie ray would you go after john gray is there another name out there did some of you want andrew heen doghini dog might as well get out of my system i'm not gonna be doing it thank the lord again i will not be doing that a lot so guys again for ny news one second i forgot we are closing in on 5 500

we innovative yup we designated spit it's time that you know we designated yup we innovative yup we designated bitters let's start the show well everybody what is going on the new york yankees are already off to some move some deals have been made when not really deals have been made but the roster is clearing itself out for a little bit anyway with introductions do i do we do we even have to introduce ourselves anymore you guys know us come on yeah you already know who it is man stop stop messing around go follow one at one francis lee would you yo shout out to i got another 12 followers this week it's been a good week we gained close to 400. i feel like larry david i was about to i was about to pull a curb your enthusiasm man remember that episode when um he was playing bingo and uh with all the old people and every time he went he just go bingo bingo he kept winning yeah they got so mad those old people oh man they got hot they got he's cheating they got hot man they got hotter poor larry but yeah man the yankees um making some moves um clearing up some roster space we got uh squid is sent back to the ocean so he's swimming around out there now with the angels rob brantley was sent to triple a he elects free agency timmy low timmy low uh recovering from the acl is heading over to boston and then the last one who's the last one i'm missing what am i missing timmy low who the hell am i missing i know i'm missing somebody timmy low timmy low square rob brantley brantley and there's one more greg allen greg allen how did i miss greg allen look at that greg allen our good friend fy everybody i'm on medication all right that's good let me let everybody know ahead of time in case i fall asleep on the mic any minute you guys already know that um but that is the four that is on the way out yankee fans i gotta keep it real with you it's like almost many of us especially in the twitter world of things want to be upset about something because timmy lowe is probably in his heart feeling unbelievable love because a lot of you cats wanted dude to be the starter shortstop and a lot of you cats were really heartbroken you mean squid you mean squid you said you said tilo see i'm out of it squid oh quick you guys want a squid if they wanted tilo that's a problem they they wanted squid to beat a starting shortstop on this club on our yankees yes and they were very upset that squid was gone quite a few people greg allen too greg allen got some love people were very upset about greg allen also yeah people were people were uh not shockingly i mean greg allen did his thing when he was up here but i i hate to sound like insensitive but i was just like bro they didn't even let them stay up and on top of that too let's be real where are they gonna play they didn't let them play on last year's roster somebody's raising a hand right now be like pete you know there is shortstop's open short source is open shortstop is open but i could have used squid it didn't open for him i had no offense no no no offense to squid love to the kid new york kid definitely you know congratulations bro you live in the freaking dream and you lived the dream you started for the new york yankees in a wild card game and he got and he got a story for ever he could never he may never if he never played in the major leagues ever again my man has a story that you know yeah bronx native plays for the homers at yankee stadium come on man yeah this kid's a new york legend for life now let's say he doesn't have to do anything like that's it like but basically look guys if you're looking at the first let me get this music queued up because some of y'all were really you guys are really sentimental so i just want to i just want to make sure i know that we we want to make sure today you know that we sharing our feelings we understand it's hard to say goodbye to squid we get it okay timmy lo castro we understand timmy low come on rob brantley come on how could you say goodbye to rob brantley i mean jesus brian what were you thinking and greg allen he's gonna go and join park remember that remember he was all crying about park not pete he knew better i was crying about park i know it's sad it's sad all right guys oh yeah you want to but i'm ju yeah if that went about another minute they would take us they'd take us right now i had to start talking to my arm being like man come back no no no no no no no no come back listen i'm telling y'all i'm telling y'all look if anything we should we shouldn't be that upset about this why because moves had to be made the roster needed to be cleared up because we have prospects who need to be protected before the rule five draft so a lot of guys i'm really excited about too man um aldo cabrera one of them yeah ever since who's coming off a great season another one coming off a great season like we would have been upset if those guys weren't protected yeah if you guys if you guys missed oh my god he hit him with a i'm sorry i'm watching a ufc fight cheeto vera just hit him with a front kick right to the mouth and knocked him out cole um but if you guys did not see my live when i talked about that i talked about a lot of those rule five guys that are eligible you know even this smaller guys um uh steven writings is is you know gonna get picked up by somebody if the yankees don't put them on a roster if they don't oh hell yeah 100 miles an hour i mean anybody would throw them in a pen and try him out his stuff is disgusting there's a lot of guys there's a lot of guys there i talked about oswaldo cabrera who could could be a utility guide i could play all over the field for the yankees now everson pierre is another guy um who was right there so they they have a lot of guys they need to add squid no disrespect like you said to squid to allen to brantley to bret we'll talk about brett to all these guys who are not there right now yeah you got to add these other guys that that's the talent this team is looking forward to moving and and and that that's what it is right now that's the gist of the story i see some people talk about oh pete is this um you know is this meaning that a big move is coming no it's not right now all right yeah guys it's rosters i think it's not so let's uh share some knowledge with some of the you know our fans because we want you guys to be educated because like you know we we we're yankee fans just like you so if they're yankee fans out there uneducated going out there making some crazy outlandish takes regarding moves like this it makes the whole fan base look bad so i'm gonna give you we're gonna give you guys a real quick crash course on what's happening here you gotta protect top prospects from rule five drafts because if not they can get picked up by another team if they're unprotected and meaning they're not on your 40-man roster garrett lock exactly garrett whitlock perfect example we chose not to protect him boston chose to grab him he became an elite reliever this season so do you we don't want that to happen with our prospects who are rule 5 eligible allah everson pereira allah oswald like you can't have these guys get picked up by another team when we still have plans for them steven writings who's a guy like we just said throws 100 has nasty stuff do you want do you want tampa bay able to just pick him up and have him killing us for the next three four five years like right no so we have to some people are have to be you know released in order for that to happen so that's what these moves are now these moves are not the moves that preclude signing the big shortstop or a starting pitcher or whatever no first of all it's november so no big moves happen in november anymore this is not 90s baseball like december is even early for big moves these days i mean look at how slow free agency has moved the last two years obviously kovit had a lot to do with that the other year but free agency has been moving seriously so i mean how how long do we know that gary cole was signing with the yankees everybody thought it knew it was almost a foregone conclusion right and they did but it look at how long it took you know what i mean look at how long it took to even get him in the building i think the meeting was not even until like december something that was late it was late yeah guys these moves these moves aren't going to happen right now especially this year with a player that could potentially be a shut a shutout or shutdown exactly exactly the most important thing to keep uh you know present in our minds as fans this year is that as of december 1st there is no uh collective bargaining agreement between the owners and the players the first thing that needs to happen before any of the big chips fall is the collective bargaining agreement so you can kiss seeing carlos correa sign or robbie ray or seeger or story or and simeon any of those guys you can kiss seeing them sign goodbye until there's a cba they're not signing anything until there's a cba right because those contracts are way too important for the players association for them to have them sign before they know what the parameters of the new deal are going to be it's not in their best interest the only thing we might see and this is a maybe a big if is maybe you get someone accept the qualifying offer which is due by this sunday or something like that right because if they know like i'm not gonna get like i thought it was interesting right the mess extended noah syndergaard a qualifying offer right mm-hmm i think i thought that i think that's a really interesting case right noah syndergaard coming off a year where he didn't pitch pretty much he's coming off injury and right now his value is really really really skewed right so the let's offer him the qualifying offer which is worth 18 almost it's like 18 almost 19 million which is basically around the neighborhood of 20 million dollars for a year if you're noah syndergaard you're gonna take a long hard look at that that's 20 million dollars right that you can get go pitch well for a year and then go into free agency as one of the top starting pitchers next year or you could say nope i'm gonna test it anyway this year even though i didn't play or pitch this year i think i'm going to be able to get a deal with more years and more total money on the end take that gamble but now the team who science is going to have to give up a pick on top of signing you as a risk right right so right that's the only thing that you might see a guy like him decide quickly and say you know what nope i'm going to take the qualifying offer i'm you know i'm comfortable here it's a show me deal i'll just accept it right now here in november no need to play it out but any big moves aren't going to happen anytime soon so these roster moves for the yankees have no no bearing on what's going to happen at first base shortstop centerfield catcher the only thing that now catcher is an interesting one right because gary sanchez has to be tended a contract by a specific date in december i think it's somewhere near the first week of december but i couldn't it's coming up i think it's like the fourth it's coming up for some reason i want to say the fourth okay so then it's it's early in this it's early in december and he needs to be tended a contract by then along with everyone else who you know needs to be tendered right or all the other non-tender questions that we have right uh clint frazier and duhar like there's a couple non-tender questions on the yankees that's going to be interesting to watch because regardless of what the cba is the yankees are going to need to make those decisions on whether they're keeping these guys and paying them or non-tendering them and seeing what happens so it's december 1st december 1st all right so so it's the same day so basically that's the deadline for non-tendering yes so that that's basically the time where um the mlb non-tender deadline that's when you basically after that you'll see a lot of guys out of the free agency so it's typically early so this is telling me it's the it's december 1st is the deadline so basically so basically what we're seeing is that the yankees have a couple weeks to you know get together and make these decisions on what's what's going to happen with guys like andujar frazier and gary sanchez um because these decisions need to be made frasier to me to me and i mean you know we'll talk about all these guys i know we're on catcher but i think frasier i mean i i non-tender frasier to be honest at this point i'm 100 i'm 100 with you i understand you know what people well what what if you can't you can't work of what ifs you really can we got to stop doing that as a franchise and the yankees do that too much you know we do this oh well maybe this or if this happens if that no no we we need some short bets here we need some we need some guys who we have an idea and i know nothing's ever for you know you don't ever take anything for granted you don't know if a guy's going to come here be the same guy you know if a guy's not going to get injured or anything can happen we know that but this team definitely needs some sure things on it and you know whatever whatever whatever it could have been for for uh clint frazier we have no idea what position he would have played even if they bring him back let's say what is he doing yeah is he on a major league roster is he is he brett gardner not a fourth outfielder but but again again they got hicks yeah they got hicks they you know who's gonna be the fourth outfield now we don't know these questions yet the big the big story to me that's gonna really tell you what the yankees off season is gonna look like it's catching her everybody knows this already the yankees they both you know declined options and whatnot gardner's a free agent we know that now doesn't i i see a lot of people already jumping into the celebrations hey brett garner's gone which is kind of [ __ ] up if you ask me but it is what it is i get it i get you don't want it back the guy's been a terrific yankee he's a role model for players the guy's never i don't think i've ever seen him not run a ball out you guys defend no you guys defend gary sanchez and what do you defend brett gardner which is pretty upsetting to be honest gary sanchez and global tourism and glebe torres when you got a guy guard a yale case towards the end of his career you could beat him up now but don't sit there and look at somebody in the face and be like you know i'm happy he's gone the man busted his ass all the time so you can't knock him on a lot of different things but um don't count your chickens before they hatch gardy can still be back and francis i agree with you so you guys hear me saying it right here brett gardner should not be back it's time to move on it's time to move on i love brooklyn i like brett gardner it is time to move on no doubt about it and gary's moves got to move on fam you got him got him no no so i'm i'm with you a hundred percent and i think those i agree that those moves like here's what i want to say right now we have no indication right other than what insiders are reporting that the yankees are going to do this and do that and they've done it before and nothing has happened but they've they've done it before i mean it happened with corbin it happened with so many i mean bryce harper there's so many we can delicious oh off season we were supposed to load up remember yeah we were supposed to yeah exactly and do you remember how long it took for those guys to sign so guys very long time like straight buckle up stay with us buckle up it's gonna be a while trust me yep um because i mean think about it if the cva negotiate if there's a way that they can figure this out and there's not a lockout after december 1st but all signs point to a lockout on december 1st yep so if that happens what what really throws a wrench in things is that the lockout happens they will meet probably for the first couple of weeks of december and then everything shuts down for the holidays you got christmas new year or whatever so they i wonder how to what the meetings would even work though well there's still trades that happen so that's they won't they won't they won't even do it right if there's a lockout the owners don't do they don't not the owners they don't do winter meetings they won't do none of that okay none of that so it's like everything everything gets delayed not that the winter meetings really has been a hub for deals these passcodes no no no they're just they're just like uh it's like a it's like fantastic at this point you know what it's like it's like one of those damn um conventions yeah exactly that's what it feels like a convention you go exactly it's becoming like a thing where it's like it's it's fan service like you go there you're gonna see you're going to see your team's broadcasters you're going to see your team's gm you might see an owner you might see a player or two it's but not like a top-tier player it's like going to be like a regular lower level guy who's like meeting with somebody at the winter meetings looking for a job a [ __ ] like that but big deals or big trades haven't gone down at the winter meetings in years so i mean it's crazy that like the cva is looming and like you don't really see much movement be like about the fact that they're gonna lose the winter meetings because they don't really care to be honest right because and i think the advent of this has really thrown everything up like cell phones really throws like everything to a different place where you don't have to be in front of people you don't have to like be at a landline having these conversations like everybody's on the phone they're texting about deals now like they're on whatsapp they're wrong so it is what it is but the most important thing for us this is this is me talking i could be whatever i could be wrong i think pete agrees with me yankee fans if you want to really gauge what's gonna happen this offseason the earliest sign you're gonna get is in early december and it's gonna be like what happens with with guys like clint frazier what happens with guys like gary sanchez most importantly gary sanchez if you see that the yankees tender him a contract and that means that make no mistake about it if he's tended a contract he's the starting catcher next year that's it it's not like oh they're going to give him a contract but like they're going to look to upgrade it no they're not no they're not if he gets attended a contract he will be catching games in 2020 you don't think they'll look to trade him if they tender a contract yeah i don't here's my thing here's my thing this this deadline came and went without any talks about gary trades and it was just like he didn't necessarily boost his trade value after the trade deadline it's pretty much more of the same i just i just hold off the fact that the dh international league i feel like you got it but like you said too that's a cba so which is something that's coming after the cba so maybe maybe maybe that maybe no i mean hey look i'm under the belief my belief is that gary sanchez is going to be the catcher i told you they got to prove me wrong on everything this year until i bought it right you're right i mean we're we're at our wit's end right now where this club is and we've been begging for the changes so we're ready to trust them none none there's no track record that shows that all of a sudden they're going to snap out of this spell and say philosophy changes we're moving on they are so bought in to analytics making all the calls that you'll see your gallows in lefty i read a quote on back gallow today and it made me sick i think i put it in the in the chat with you guys it made me sick and it's from before you know i think it was early in the year when he's talking about like oh well i'm i'm a player who bases off ops i don't have to i can hit 200. and i'm like i'm sick of this nonsense you got you cats are out there like [ __ ] on players like tony gwen for real because that's what that means oh cause i hit for power and singles don't mean [ __ ] so tony gwynn wasn't a great hitter gallo you're a better player than tony gwynn no come on i mean i mean that's my point like that's the [ __ ] those are the analytics stuff that really bought me the cats that have come out betting average means nothing so he could hit 200 get i don't want nobody on my teammate 200. yeah but i agree i i mean i agree with every like with that 100 anyone who's who's like on that bandwagon of the whole because that's that [ __ ] catchphrase with analytics people batting average doesn't mean anything shut the hell up shut up shut up what are you talking about it's damn that's the reason the whole thing started about jeter being overrated yeah because analytics because of analytics yes and it's like here's the thing because of but that that to me is there's no greater proof that analytics should not be the end-all be-all than the fact that analytics say that jeter is overrated because if you saw jeter with your own two eyes then you realize you know there's no you can't overrate that guy no what he brought to the freaking field every game day in and day out it's something intangible you can't even find it in the numbers but if you go look at the numbers career batting average over three like three thousand plus like this guy was 3500 plus hits this box office he showed up every time he was in the playoffs like what are we talking about oh because analytics say and defensively he wasn't shut up well it's [ __ ] the thing that the thing that truly really aggravates me about this whole analytic thing is not necessarily that it's just the numbers but they do that stupid-ass thing right so they'll do this you'll say um who was i looking at yesterday um i was looking at uh buster posey and pasada because people got with this whole thing that oh pasada's overrated how dare anybody compare them and i remember i said well i mean somebody brought up all these analytic numbers i'm thinking i said let me go look at something i think buster posey's career war is like two above pasada it is two points now i do understand i believe buster posey played less games than passada did he played way less yeah but the funny thing about it is like they when when people talk analytics i've had this happen so much now i'm at the point now where i'm like i'm not even arguing with these cats about it like i'll just leave it alone because if one number they'll say this this is the famous line about a certain number oh that's not a good metric to look at look at this one exactly so you're always gonna find a number that helps your argument out it's stupid no let me see what the guy is on the field okay i know who joey gallo is but don't sit there and tell me that joey gallo is a better player overall than the guy that hits 289 every single year hits 20 homers 15 homers even he's not better listen joey gallo said i'm sorry to cut you off but i just want to say that it's so stupid he said well you know i hit 200 but i have an obvious percentage of 330. so that means i get on base 33 of the time yeah not great and my thing is too joey joey if you batted about 20 points higher you'd be about 350. exactly 35 of the time so well when i hit the ball you know there's more impact or you know a homer is worth more than the single yeah but you also don't get 200 homers in a year do you no so you need guys that do that yeah i'm understanding you're saying you're not that guy and i understand that but you sound like one of these casters trying to prove to people that you're actually better than what your number show and to me that that's annoying no that's like the yankees trying to convince us that aaron hicks is his all-star this great player just because of no because he watches little hits with power and that's it like i'm like no stop this nonsense it's madness but this is what happened what has happened with analytics is that they've taken a million mediocre players right and found the one aspect of the game that they're good at and have just inflated that to be like this is why this guy is a star this is why he's elite this is why he deserves his contract or this money it's like no no no like for the ones who tell me oh batting average doesn't matter if it doesn't matter then how come all the top players in the game tend to have high batting averages you can't tell me you can't tell me oh it doesn't matter you shouldn't look at it no why should i look at it if all the players that i like happen to is it a coincidence that ronald acuna normally has a good batting average that machado normally bats higher than two hundred that price has that mvp has somebody ever won the mvp award hitting 200 no is that is that a coincidence i think not is it well francis francis the game is changing now somebody's gonna do it you just sit back and watch somebody will do it yeah i'm i will be i'll be this is how they watch the game like kurt and exactly the game's over there get your head get your head out of your freaking laptop every now and then and look at the actual game on the field because you're going to learn something from that too there was a time where we used to learn from what we saw facts and the crazy thing is though you know people will see this and they're going to oh you just you don't like the number no i like the numbers i like analytics it's funny it helps trust me it helps when i look at players i look at analytics i look at their overall numbers but there's a lot more that goes into a player than analytics derek jeter is a prime example 100 like you said before jeter's the prime example of that so i mean it's comical in a sense but you know getting back to what we were talking about i'm right there with you whatever it is with gary sanchez to me at the end of the day that's something they got to figure out pretty early on i don't think you wanna wait around too long to see your catcher as you want those relay ships to start building early catching is very important to change catcher mid-year is very important i said last year yankee should have done it because i think gary sanchez is a joke behind the plate when your ace doesn't want to throw them towards the end of the year kluber didn't want to throw to him you got two two uh two fifths of your rotation there's rumors that more than more than more of that don't want to throw them bro i'm telling you i reported on it when when david robertson was a yankee the person i spoke to told me flat out the reason robinson is getting hit and he's asked the yankees about is because he can't throw his breaking ball in the dirt with sanchez catching i mean but this is this and remember when robinson comes into games he never came into games at clean innings they'd always because he was houdini he'd get out of anything yeah that was the thing it was it was when he struggled a little bit it's because they said flat out and this is when i put all that news out there by gary and i took a beating for it they said flat out robertson does not he's he's asked him about it he cannot throw a ball in the dirt so he's elevating his curveball when he's when sanchez is catching and he's getting smacked which is not good because you need to be able to throw this stuff continues to go on and if the yankees guys i'm telling you if the yankees don't change at catcher they are not serious about fixing this club next year not serious at all about it yeah we can't we can't again i i got into you know a couple of conversations earlier in the week uh speaking of with some with some sanchez defenders you know they're still around believe it or not there's still a little there's a lot of them there's a lot of rounds around and uh i think me and uh my guy earl were uh we were in agreement like he posted something and i i would literally literally respond and you came out with a video i think that same night i literally responded i think it was actually based off of a lot of that what was being said the conversation because i saw it and i was like i gotta make a video on this yeah dude i literally responded was like here's the issue guys like you guys want to keep telling us about you know the offensive potential and whatever like that whatever and like oh there's nobody better offensively than gabriel for us right now that we're not gonna get here's what i'm here's what here's what i'm here to tell you we know we know we don't care like he can go take him and his 20 plus home runs and send it somewhere else we don't need that we don't need that that doesn't move the needle enough for this team because the way that the roster is currently constructed we could do without his 20-plus home runs bro and you're gonna and you're gonna say oh but the offense was stagnant this year we needed more offense not his brand of offense and couple that with the fact that defensively he's probably costing us even more run no we don't need that give me a light hitting catcher if my catcher bats 200 guess what gallo him i don't care about if he's batting 200 but he's framing the [ __ ] out of pitches stealing strikes and guys like clay holmes and and lawassega and everybody comes in and feels comfortable throwing whatever the [ __ ] at him then he's doing his job let him bat 200 at the bottom of the lineup i don't give a damn and let him run into 1 12 13 14 times a year that because what a good catcher does for your pitching staff cannot be like no you i don't know how many how many times we got to go through this review yeah don't understand how effective production is look if his offensive production was salvador perez this year then you got a case then we could talk something of course if he's a salvador perez if he's a jorge posada if he's a a mike piazza if he's if he's a rodriguez then yes guys it is a different conversation and trust me you'll be hearing me say the same damn thing 150 all the time i am utterly shocked by the amount of yankee fans who literally will die on the hill of saying you can't make up his production and i'm telling you right now you know what i'm saying if if when i hear that i'm saying bro you don't know baseball you don't know what this team needs i'm sorry like i'm not even insulting you but you don't get what this club needs if you're sitting there saying and i said this in my video we know we're probably going to end up with a catcher even if we don't we're going to end up with some new bats gallowing left field whoever in center who cares aaron judge g and carlos stanton d.j lemayo glaber tours were expected to be better if anthony rizzo comes back whoever's gonna be a good first base you know they're gonna get somebody that can hit there what do you guys want from a cat who cares and on top of that how long are you gonna wait how long are you gonna sit back and wait to see pitchers not want to throw to the dude you think all of a sudden garrett cole's gonna say okay new year new gary let's go no why would he he's not going to and well let's boon changes he's not going to put him in a room and say guys enough is enough let's hash this [ __ ] out here's my thing and and the more i think about it because i remember like kernin said it and i was like i get it but to me that's something that should have happened early on it's hard it's hard to do at this point at this point it makes no sense there is no reconciling that it's a lost cause at this point and you know what gary hasn't done a damn thing to help it i'm sorry i'm not saying that he was supposed to go and kiss garrett cole's ass because like i said in my opinion gary cole seems like kind of a weirdo so i'm not saying he was supposed to do that but if he would have been better performance wise he wouldn't have to you understand i think gary cole gives a [ __ ] about kyle higashiyoka please give me a break if he left tomorrow he thinks he's gonna go to the ex look that opt-out clause is happening it's happening gary cole is probably going to freaking the yankees right now talking about hey i don't know if you know but maldonado is a free agent just saying yeah he doesn't give a damn hey uh hey guys uh you might want to watch this guy on ny news guy uh talk about some new catchers that jacob stalin's actually sounds really good you're probably interested i don't know i like him i don't i mean hey i don't know just saying francis i gotta ask you guys who's your catcher who's your captain who's my catcher i mean i i saw your video the other day and i gotta say um out of the guys that you brought up if i could have any of them it's definitely stallings and it's it the one you said i like carson too but stallings the one thing i said about that in that video is if you you want so a lot of fans are talking about these guys and and this is like the big topic of trade right now because they're talking about uh moving dalton varsho over to catcher um and then you know carson kelly was he too talented he's too talented to be on a bench he's not gonna be a backup um but you look at that and the thing about carson kelly is if you're waiting for production and you're waiting for potential to kick in carson kelly's your guy if you're also maybe not looking to have the best catcher for your pitching staff right now maybe carson kelly's your guy but guys i'm sorry injuries too though that too we got it you got to think about that and guys i want to win sorry i want to win and let me tell you i i understand look if anybody was like pete yeah but i i'm not knocking carson kelly hell i was probably one of the first people even mentioned his name and talked about him since the end of last year since actually during the year of last year yeah carson kelly would be a tremendous pickup wouldn't be upset but if the yankees want to win right now you need somebody to handle the pitching handle the young guys until until antonio gomez or wells is ready and i'll tell you this right now you're gonna get two very good years barring any injury and you know what you're gonna get from jacob's talents yeah you know what you're gonna get expect nothing offensively yeah and don't get me wrong he had his best offensive year yeah so don't get me wrong with that but you're gonna get one of if not if not i'll say this the best defensive catcher in baseball yeah listen what we have to understand is we look at offense in a way that's very very very skewed like when people look at jacob stallings they're gonna be like oh but he's like they traded for this guy like what's the deal with him like he's he doesn't really hit that crazy he's liking whatever yeah maybe maybe if you're looking at him like a four five six hitter then it's like oh it doesn't seem that much or whatever stallings jacob stallings batting eight or nine eight or nine it's [ __ ] great yeah that's perfect that's perfect that's exactly where battle like that should be my argument with with these people is it's simple as this you want to argue with me about gary sanchez's numbers of him being probably one of the best offensive catchers in the game since he came up or whatever you can argue that there's numbers that support that i'm not disagreeing with that but here's my thing let's look at the past couple of world series and look at the catchers who were playing in those world series okay you had zanino with the raids you had maldonado uh in 2019 the nationals were doing were uh platooning with suzuki and who else was it no no it wasn't going yet it wasn't younger i thought i thought they had two they were platooning it was kurt it was suzuki and and gomes maybe i think i might be getting there the dodgers dodgers are another team that go that go through catchers or whatever but who who would they have this year was it uh was it a smith smith wilson yes smith um the championship atlanta braves travis darno like we can do this we can we can continue going on but i think i think you're beginning to notice the trend here um none of them happen to be lighting up the the the league in terms of offensive numbers let me tell you what they do do though let me tell you what they do do um they play in big games because the aces are comfortable pitching to them they play entire games because the bullpen is comfortable pitching to them and they make the [ __ ] plays god forgive me because i'm cursing so much but it gets me so angry that i have to argue with people about gary sanchez i was as big a pro i was as big a defender of this guy as anybody when he first came up i was like this guy's going to be great he's one of the better peer heroes on the team we have or whatever he fell off a cliff that wasn't me no i didn't tell him to stop working i didn't tell him to get to get complacent i didn't tell him that he did i didn't do that the other part was i wasn't the one who tried to make him into this great power hit or whatever and like and then automatically make a sharp left and say no you got to be a great defensive catcher that was the yankees okay that's on them that's not worked that's done if we are serious about winning a championship we need to build a championship roster i am sorry if you guys don't understand that gary sanchez is not the starting catcher on a championship roster gary sanchez can very well be the dh on a championship roster i would never argue that because i think if he didn't have to worry about catching and all he had to focus on was hitting and he could become whatever he wanted right he'd be a phenomenal freaking dh yep the problem is we have a dh that caused that's costing us between 25 and 27 million dollars already so that's not gonna happen so that means he doesn't fit guys he's a nice puzzle piece for somebody he just doesn't fit our puzzle that's what i'm trying to get to people i agree i agree 100 we shouldn't be sitting here talking about oh we can't get rid of him how are we going to replace that offense hello we can get a center fielder who hits we can get a shortstop awaits we're getting a first baseman who hits we can get a full year of anthony rizzo and joey gallo i mean or or or or joey gallo alone i mean more than making up his productions think about it give joey gallo a full year on the yankees especially coming up after the trade or whatever give him a full year maybe a little bit of comfort and look my thing is don't tell me he's not going to hit better than gary sanchez well and defensively we already know what gallow brings to the team right and the thing is too about a guy like gala look i'll sit here and tell you god forbid hopefully i'm wrong but who knows if joey gal is going to be the same guy he was last year and he's going to bat 200 or under 200 to be the same i mean 200 is kind of what he's been all his career but his career who knows it you know who knows who knows what joey gal is going to be he might be terrific he might work on some stuff and be even better but you cats that are out there talking and screaming about contract gear you guys are screaming about production but you already got it so that makes no sense and on top of it i'm sorry i'mma sit here and tell you sanchez is not a winning player he's not a winning player he's not a winning player i don't want that on my team if you guys seen me recently right on um oh that's this i don't know i kept saying like something like my shirt dirty or something but then i'm moving and the thing isn't moving um i'm drugged everyone um the funny thing about um the winning players if you guys saw i kept retweeting players that you could tell stepped up and enjoyed it and enjoyed being there i said winner freddy freeman talked and you could see the words that mank had coming out of his mouth none of that was written the dude is a winner not because he won you could hear it in his voice there's confidence he knows his [ __ ] he knows his team he knows how good he is he knows what he means to that organization he is a winner he's been a winner long before they won the world series francis do you even understand right the moment right now right now on the yankees roster there's no world series champions no there's no world series champions the new york yankees they have nobody on their roster right now in terms of winners we we don't have very much judge not as many as you guys think we can name a winner you could probably name it judge is a winner garrett cole is a winner um i'm going to say john carlos stanton oh yeah the way stanton has stepped up and the way he talked towards the end of the year i was all over him look i even i've said bad things about stanton in the past but i admit when i'm wrong i tell you what my man had me pumping my hitting my chest because he's literally winning [ __ ] no hell yeah he had the right attitude too his attitude was let's go his attitude was we stepping on the field for war boys let's go it don't matter yeah let's go he's a winner who else let me see um aaron man we telling jokes on here today he's he's the winner of a three-year contract extension he's a he's the winner of a lifetime box of unicornios aaron um let me tell you uh geo i'll give you this geo urchella is a winner gio urchella is a winner he wants to play ball he wants one he wants to and he didn't get that that story that story was it kerner who told the story yes i i want to give him credit every time i say that story about geo out there you know field and ball whatever in the room and bring it out and lemay yeah geo dj outside of that who am i missing because gary sanchez no labor torres no uh aaron hicks no i mean and don't give me the aaron hicks oh but you got you're saying just because if he's injured nope no there was that whole [ __ ] there was that whole [ __ ] with the protests on earlier in the year and trust me i sympathize with all that [ __ ] i'm a person of color don't even try it with me right to say that i'm not playing because of whatever when you could have gone out there and made a statement with your play yeah it was bad that was bad it looked bad it was a terrible call was stanton was was with you right and was another one who was kneeling for the anthem and everything but didn't he go out and play and stuff like that what was your excuse bro i don't want to hear it and stan really has less incentive stan had less incentive because he's already getting paid he's already making 20 million he has less incentives than anybody but he was out there playing under the booze under all that [ __ ] so yeah hicks no not you know what also would tell you a lot about the yankees if they go yeah yeah we know we can't move hicks but he gotta earn a spot he's the fourth outfielder and they pick up a centerfielder that right there i tell you right now and a half [ __ ] like that ever happened you guys gonna see me on here with a different tune oh because i'm telling you guys i've been saying and francis you know everybody knows i've been saying i've been talking this [ __ ] like this for so damn long i can't have i can't see brian cashman come up there and give his same [ __ ] well you know we're uh we're we're a dead star you know we're ready to go um we're gonna be looking at everybody it's kind of what we do every year and uh you know yankee fans you're gonna buy into my [ __ ] aren't you so you're gonna come back you're gonna buy some uh 30 30 bucket chickens and doesn't no i i'm done i'm done no my prediction right now one or two moves that's it what yeah like one or two moves to actually take short stops they'll get something to take a little fancy a little bit they'll take a little fancy it might be correct yeah it might be safer yeah they'll take a lot of fancy little things i feel like look if you look at uh and won't get into the career thing because i know we just mentioned korea so everybody's ears are going to go up they're going to go we'll definitely get a chat about them a little bit we'll get we'll get into that but i think the point is and i and i i sympathize 100 what you hear pete like look we're i don't know if we're the only ones saying it but i'm not hearing it a lot of other places like some of you guys sound like you're going to be okay if they make two moves and it's going to be like all right let's let's watch and that's all i want to know what team have you been watching i am telling you we are not crazy to think that we need to see four to five different names in that opening day roster than the names that were on it than the names that were on it in 2021 and look i'll help the yankees out i think me and you agree with this i think we said this before i'll help the yankees out yeah i'll count rizzo as a new name he wasn't in the he wasn't in there at the beginning okay so i'll already count gala as a new name i'll be i'll be nice catcher needs the change catcher needs to be but in there i could see i could see a new third baseman i could see a move at second base but see these are things that we could see we could see these things happening now they have the balls to do anything like that that's another story that's the question it's another story question because all of you saying that we're crazy we we're right to doubt because they've given us every reason to doubt they've always done this how many look i mean come on let's let's be real let's be real here when we talk about this and and when i say be real i know francis is gonna be real but i'm asking you guys who are listening to be real with us when we talk about the track record of what the yankees do you can't sit there and tell me that you can't hear the conversation already come spring training from brian cashman well we got a healthy aaron hicks back in center field we feel we greatly improved you you don't hear that already i mean i hear i hear it right now so i'm just sitting here saying this team really needs to show its fan base that they are willing and ready to make the right changes simple as that and it can't be a correa it can't be hey we got the big shortstop all right 28. here we come we're ready for it now it can't just be on him that's the thing that people don't understand is like look i don't even like i again like i'm not even what i forgot i think i said i was like under 20 that they would sign korea on the last episode yeah that percentage that percentage has gone up slightly i'll tell you guys why in a second but let me tell you it's still not even over 50. so don't like it's not but say they did go out and sign carlos correa the best shortstop on the market right now arguably one of the best in the game or the best in the game some people say he's about some people don't whatever that's not gonna be enough i'm sorry it's not going to be enough and to put that pressure on carlos curry would be [ __ ] ridiculous because he can't do it by himself it takes a full lineup and you have to work together look at how atlanta just did it antopolis didn't just go out and get one outfielder at the deadline and say hey i got it i know we were struggling at outfield so i went and grabbed one no he went and got four four one two three four hell of a fielders four outfield and again i'm sorry to cut you off right there i don't know but i want to bring this up because you're right you brought this up but going back to freddy freeman's speech he's he specifically said what the front office did for this team the players took it in and said let's go amen that's why i always talk that's a really good point and look cashman did it i pat him on the back we gave him his flowers for when the time was there definitely we definitely did it's not the right message and it's the right message to the club sent the right message it sent the right message nobody is saying that he didn't do that so so fyi but what i'm saying is how important a deadline really is what it means to a ball club it's very important not just a deadline not just a deadline but an off-season off-season the same way the same way that that deadline was as important as it was for atlanta i think this off-season could be even more important for the new york yankees you put out that video that this this is probably arguably the most important offseason of brian cashman's career i agree with the proof he got too much to prove i agree wholeheartedly there's too much there's too much first of all there's too much out there for you to like it's not a year where he can get away with the excuse there really wasn't much out there we didn't have a lot of options whatever there are options galore not just free agents guys the trade market if you guys have been paying attention the last week or two the trade market is already starting to take shape and we're not like i told you guys we're not even in the real heat of it yet yep this is really early for us to already have an idea that the oakland a's are gonna be shopping chapman and probably olsen and maybe some other pieces it's really early for us to hear that there's a possibility that cleveland might entertain offers on jose romer like there's gonna be a lot of players to be had cashmen will not be able to hide behind there weren't enough options because on top of all the players available to be had there's a lot of teams who are not necessarily punting but they're not going to be in the market the way that the yankees are the way that the mets are the way that detroit will be the way that the angels will be the way that the texas rangers are going to be like there's i just named what five teams just like yeah yeah that's five teams that's five teams and we're not even talking about the dh internationally yet it's going to open up a lot in terms of trades from the yankees no sanchez even luke like dude that's why miguel ander anders another guy i mean look if i'm a team out there that's like maybe we get some value in somebody and build them back i'm looking all over miguel andhar the h come on man the guy could put the ball play hits the ball hard sign me up he's not going to cost you he's not going to cost you much let's not forget to a hot he was getting before the injury gail gail anderhall was one of the regulars in the lineup he took that spot again yeah he was battling himself back again so yeah he's a hitter the thing with android is miguel anthony is a natural hitter so he's gonna figure it out and i think anybody who's watched him so far in his young career realizes that this guy can stay healthy he's going to hit he's just going to be one of those guys he's a hitter and he produces right and again i'm not saying that because oh look we're looking for some beautiful trade no guys no it's not going to be we're just not going to trade him for olson right but the one thing i'll give brian credit brian cash from some credit for and the analytic guys is they found some guys for nothing right look if clay holmes could be one of the best relief pitchers in baseball next year per his stuff alone on how we look with the yankees look what we gave before look what we gave up for him so again when you guys say well these guys aren't worth anything hoy park wasn't really worth much he had triple a numbers the yankees didn't even want to play him and you think about it that too and the yankees had nothing for him they didn't like them exactly his value couldn't have been that high because his own team devalued him publicly yeah that's right i don't think he can come up here and hit and they still got clay holmes for lay homes that's that's again like you just said like we're gonna we i think we've we've been pretty fair with brian cashman like when he does make good moves we have been you know at the forefront saying hey that's very very moved good job like or whatever like so we've been doing it what we're saying now is we have to see like i told you guys that was just a different level yeah it's you know we have to see you guys i feel sure of this roster yeah i told you guys i feel i feel optimistic the reason i feel optimistic is because of the deadline that we had but me saying i feel optimistic isn't me telling you guys nah they 100 percent signing until we find out the deadline was the off season exactly or they'd be like they 100 they're 100 gonna uh sign starling martay or they're gonna 100 trade for cattell marte they 100 gonna move gary they're 100 no no i'm not 100 on anything i knew that i feel i feel optimistic why because i am choosing to feel optimism because of the deadline that they had but that doesn't mean [ __ ] until we start seeing where they're going and we're going to start seeing that very little in a very incremental way early in december let's see what happens with the tenders the non-tenders or whatever again like pete said they tender sanchez and duhar that doesn't necessarily i will tell you right now bro and again like you said like i think you were about to say if they tender and they could still get them back no like that they could still trade them right right right you can still you can trade them and move them but mine's a good point to be made they can still move these guys if the yankees really make that decision guys i will tell you right now even with boone coming back the start is good i'd go for my f minus which is not even a real thing but an f minus to ac immediately huge jump it's a huge jump immediately and i'll tell you what francis i'll hang out with you a little bit on that optimism optimism yeah cause you'll start seeing something i'll hang out with you a little bit on that but we'll be out out to sea together and we'll just wait around and see what happens what the waters like see what the waters are like i'll wait out there with you because at that moment i'm already seeing to me in my opinion of the club one of their biggest problems are have now gone away and they will go for a catcher that's defensive minded more 100 because if they move on from gary that's what that's telling you exactly they're not going to bring in another guy that can't catch and hits a little bit they won't do that and look i'll throw this name out there too keep a close eye on mike zunino the option hasn't been exercised yet no keep a close eye on that if zunino is ever available the yankees need to immediately act on him hell yeah i don't care if they say we gotta wait have some have a handshake agreement have something in place would do to say we want you here no and he's one of those interesting cases who he is a possibility that if you jumped on him quick enough maybe you get it he might he might accept the deal why because of all the uncertainty with the cba and everything and some guys zanino's not a young kid he's a veteran like he might just want to know nah i need to know where i'm playing so like let's do this quickly if this is going to work let's do it i can get my family situated and everything let them work out that cba but i know where i'm going come february because he's a catcher so he's going to he needs he reports earlier like he might be one of those players who wants to get one don't forget about him he actually is back with the race so that's oh yeah he he exercises they gave him a one year seven million deal good for him look at that he gets seven million dollars and these people are getting mad because i'm saying that we don't i don't want to pay gary sanchez over 10 million dollars to do it right it's crazy no way no way come on why should we they should it's not worth it i'd rather pay 10 million to zanino yeah not look non-tender gary if you could deal them you deal them you get what you get for them seriously and guys you move on you you know you do be a be a gary sanchez supporter and hope he catches on somewhere and does well that's the best thing you can do because that's what i am gonna do i'm not gonna [ __ ] on gary sanchez when he's playing some i hope gary sanchez does well guys simple as that guys when we traded when we traded for sunny great i was one of the happier yankee fans around i always liked sunny gerk felix always like on that damn deal man he was right it still balls me to this data i got to say he was right over me i always liked i always liked them always liked them because i i saw the potential in the kid he came over here couldn't cut it in new york had some awkward moments you know walking on the mount smiling or whatever but he has a lot of things you know with him going on so that was a whole but he got traded when he got when when he left and he got to cincinnati i was rooting for him to be successful when he found some a little bit of success over there i was really happy for him brian he wasn't doing it for the yankees i recorded the video driving home when he was trading i remember saying exactly that i said now let me tell you guys this don't be shocked if he goes over that becomes an ace don't be shocked and he did immediately he was he was one of the better pitchers in the national league immediately so some people of course that can happen with gary and i think you'll see a change in gary immediately if he's out of new york just not having to deal with the media being out of the eye like a lot of the criticism is not going to be the same in new york you feel the criticism when you're playing for the yankees you can feel the criticism gary said colorado he will take a big breath in and a breath out and it feel like his world has changed yeah it's it's it's different and i think i i said the same thing like with with a guy like labor torres i was like look it's not saying oh trey moved labor because he's going to be terrible the rest of his career no there's a difference between saying a guy is just like with aaron hicks i just think hicks is just ass like aaron hicks i don't think he will be better in other places i just think he's not good like that's i want that to come off clearly i think gary sanchez has the potential to go somewhere else and still become an all-star yeah i a hundred percent think if labor tours went somewhere else he would definitely become an all-star when i speak about them it's just the fit with this current roster that's all i'm saying it's not saying that these guys are bad that's not what i'm saying correct even gallo like with the criticism that we have for gallows like he was just fine in texas doing that because he fit over there it made sense over there like it's not always that a player is no they're just never going to be good you want it with us that too and you want to know the difference of the media none of us knew about a gallow tick or these little problems he has he came to new york and was a big story immediately all year i mean and again we don't know how that's gonna affect him personally i talked about this a lot we don't know how that's gonna affect the play we don't know if he can handle all of this we don't know that those are stuff we gotta say and that's why kevin kernan even said he is shocked or he doesn't know he said i don't know but i assume either analytics has taken over so much or scouts who notice stuff don't get brought into a room or that that that conversation is not as valued as it used to be because look coming to new york a big part about it is your personality and you know me and francis we were going back and forth on a whole coal situation and one of the things i brought up i said well if the yankees knew this guy was awkward or couldn't handle this then he shouldn't be here and i mean that's the same thing for a lot and again we don't know we don't know what coal is yeah they we don't i don't think even i don't think they do their homework with that though that's one thing that said that kernan said that is i think it's 100 true i don't think that they're doing their homework with that because like when gary cole like here's the reason i get off saying with gary cole like saying like oh this guy's he's he's a weirdo he's awkward i read an article about him in pittsburgh where he did something weird after getting shelled one time not like he didn't blow up or anything but like he got like he got upset with like a reporter who like questioned him about like the outing it was a pretty bad outing something similar happened in houston and after that happened i was like i'm going to watch this guy closer because like i like him like i wanted him to be a yankee so like now i'm like i'm gonna watch this guy whatever and i would just see him like in the dugout times or like even whatever like in the bullpen whatever and like just the way he would act i'm just like yes this guy's a little bit of a weirdo but i still would would sign him to the deal that we signed him to 10 times out of 10 because that's not something that i think should preclude us should preclude us from signing a guy with his talent level i just think it's something you need to be aware of right because if if you know that then maybe you go into the clubhouse and say oh brett look i know you play these pranks on everybody but like him he's a little like i would you know steer clear of him or you know get him in on it first like work him into it because he's a little yeah he you know what i mean right but if you don't if you don't tell him that then he's just going in blind he's just gonna do whatever whatever if you don't say hey guys by the way joey gal is gonna be here whatever you know we don't want you guys you know putting certain things out about him because like we think it's insensitive like to put out things about his tick or like the way he puts on his uniform but if you don't say anything then the media is gonna take it and run with it like that's these are just consequences of you not doing homework i guess in a sense because if you do you can protect players in a sense if you don't they're going to get vilified the new york media is cutthroat they're going to visit yeah they're no joke they're no joke they'll they'll attack them they'll go at them so imagine they imagine imagine they sign corey seeger and corey seeger is like shy or some [ __ ] yeah it's not good i mean yeah they're gonna kill him and it would be like well the yankees didn't do their homework yeah before they signed them like that's what's going on here so it's just it's a it's a big part it's a it's a big part of the game it's a big part of the game so i mean that that is something that obviously should be discussed that should be talked about more now i hope that it actually is but um moving on to i believe what will be our last topic today everybody's hype about this oh yeah i'm going to say it real quick and talk about it carlos correa is in the um square garden tonight yeah and uh attending the ufc event and martin maldonado martine maldonado send out the little the thing about uh what was it again um he's ready or something like that and yeah you know he had the little yankee jacket on and all that and you know he's in new york so he's a smart dude you know he has a everybody always jokes about like the um type of attitude he is you know let me tell you what type of attitude carlos correa is are people going to get metal he's a cheater let me tell you something i know these type of people like that and it's called confidence guys it's called confidence it's not necessarily cocky it's not necessarily um you know i see people people read confidence at all different levels they think is like self-centered it's this and that he's a confident dude and he knows what he has coming to him he knows that next week don't be shocked if you see him in an angel's hat then again he might rock the yankees so hard that he's like guys i want to like i'm trying to show you as much i want to be there let's get this [ __ ] done like i want to be here never know you never know but all i'm saying right now me and francis talked about this a little about i don't want to make this all about corey so i'm going to bring i'm going to bring the big man into the story lock up judge before you give correa a big deal that's all i'm saying now i know some fans are saying well p they probably can't do it well then you better make your [ __ ] mind up to be quite real with you going back to what even david cohen said uh with his new thing with uh john boy media over there that if you know you don't resign judge your top priority trade them trade them i mean listen guys some of you guys don't want to hear we were saying it uh we were saying it back uh before the deadline like the yankees were playing badly and we were like hey dude is it time to consider trading aaron judge because they were playing well remember one of the main reasons we said that too is because we said they're not looking to sign him right we said he's like clearly they they haven't had extension talks with him and it's like it's a problem let me put it out here just so you guys understand the designated spit is and i know this because i've spoken with peter about this off the off the air countless times we do not want aaron judge to be on any other team than the new york yankees in fact so understand us a hundred percent we we think that this guy is a yankee and he needs to be a yankee what we are saying is the yankees have dilly-dallied long enough like these extension talks should have started before last winter like if they don't happen this winter i mean guys can you really be upset if aaron judge goes and chooses another team in free agency it's a joke cause guys he's have to sit there and watch garrett cole get paid which is it's no it's not a knock on gary cole but it's like for judge it's like hey man i've been here like congrats to you cole i'm happy you're here because you're gonna help us win the championship hopefully but i gotta get paid too right no then he had to watch aaron hicks get extended then you have to watch severino get extended yeah and it's just like i mean it's not russell this off season they're gonna spend some more money it's like aaron judge it's like bro what what do i gotta what am i gonna do to get some consideration out here me and francis want the sexy new name as much as everybody you know what i mean we want to talk about on here with you guys so so trust me when i tell you that we want the sexy new name too you can't pull that [ __ ] on judge though i'm gonna keep it real take care you can't bring in carlos carr and guys i'm not even talking about that i see somebody pissed oh you can't bring karate in because what he did shut up shut up that [ __ ] don't got nothing you you bring carlos correa in if you want to bring carlos gray's ass in and yeah it's not like the players are gonna bring it down yeah they keep trust me bro bro if they got correa you're gonna see fans on twitter saying i hope he apologizes to them before anything shut up the [ __ ] you got [ __ ] to apologize for when he comes into the game i get it everybody can be mad about it i'm mad about i i understand but but we go we're about to enter 2022. okay the commission ain't doing [ __ ] about it none of that was gonna happen you bring that type of talent to this club look all you gotta do though you can't throw out another major contractor bag hey judge we're gonna hold off and we'll talk to you next year cause if i'm judge i don't care how much i love the yankees i'm sorry fam i'm out to cali i'm mountain cali you gotta symbolize that i'm going back home i'm done aaron that's disrespect aaron judge was asked about this towards the end of this season um maybe some of you heard it but he was asked about like the contract talks or if anything's happened whatever he said no it hasn't happened and yeah it's it's a little you know weird that it hasn't happened yet but you know i understand you know some business whatever and i'd like to be a yankee of course i want to finish my career here he said all the right things but it's time for the yankees to start saying all the right things like hey aaron what you know let's what's it going to take let's uh let's understand you know we we understand we you understand we want you here we understand you want to be here let's figure out what it's going to take to make that happen um they're playing cheap let's be real they know the arbitration number is going to be lower than what his annual a is aav is going to be for sure everybody knows that 17 18 million whatever it is that's not going to be what it's going to take it's not going to be the yankees are holding it out they're holding out as long as they can here's the thing the reason that players get extended is because they they earn it i mean don't get me wrong i'm not saying that it's just you know the yankees signing people aaron judge has looked at a lot of people get extended on big deals that's fast that's fine that's not just the yank he's he saw he saw acuna get extended that's fact he saw tatis get extended that's fast you know so it's like you know he's looking at these other guys he's like whoa like what's happening here like these guys are getting paid or whatever like i'm playing you know what i'm saying like it's hard to be one of the top 10 players in baseball or i mean and then in terms of like just hitters like when he's on when he's on he's probably top five and you're like you're like the only one who's not getting paid like it like it's it's tough and he's not 24 25 he's 30 years old this contract this this could be it this will probably be it for him this this would probably be the contract that aaron judge is going to get either with the yankees or with another team this off season or after next season this will be his career contract like this is it this is where he will make the brunt of his money as a baseball player that's right it's important to you know incentivize and say hey look judge you've [ __ ] been here you've been putting up numbers you know let's get out ahead of it we're going to up you know screw the arbitration we're going to up your aav to whatever the contract is going to be this year and we're going and we're going to extend you however many this is what it's going to be right yep i mean when he's your own player one and he wants to be there to like you're probably not gonna have to pay him 30 million dollars a year to get him to stay but if you freaking wait until next year you never know what could happen you might have to overpay him because he's right he might be embittered that's right and when you're right on top and then factor that with the up with the possibility that he'd just go back to his home state of california and get paid ridiculous amounts of money to play for the angels because the angels would love nothing more than to pair aaron judge with mike trout and shohei ohtani or the giants the giants want that big home run hit her back come on bro like there's it's gonna be hard for him to turn all that down and this is not a guy who said no yeah no matter what i'm testing the water as a free agency when i heard him questions about that towards the end of the season he gave off the complete vibe that it's like no i was i've actually been looking for these extension talks right right they just haven't happened and it's like that's it's it's sad it's mess it's that more than anything it's [ __ ] up he's playing and and in reality he's playing a good guy role because he could be an [ __ ] about it he could because he could be an [ __ ] about it so because look look at how look speaking of speaking of our the guy we're talking about today career right when everything came out last year at the beginning of the year with correa and the astros that they were far off in a number korea came out and was straight up with his [ __ ] saying like yeah now we far off on the number i feel like the offer was disrespectful like these conversations were public at the beginning of last season yeah like before the season even got underway people were saying yeah corey is gone korea's gone well even his last game he was like yeah this is it yeah you know what dawg he came out he came out and said what was going on aaron judge hasn't come out and said they had to ask him hey you know we haven't heard of any extension talks have there been any extension talk because he hasn't come out he's not on twitter he's not doing anything saying like yo these people don't want to pay me or what and if he was doing that he would be you know within his right to do it but he hasn't instead he's been a stand-up guy he's been an amazing face of the team and aside from all that off the field [ __ ] he's been their best player on the field he has been their best player on the there's no argument about it even after garrett cole signed judge has continued to be the best player on the team for these first two years at garrett's contract yep you can't argue that no this kid deserves to get his money i'm not saying to give him a 10-year deal no he does not get a 10-year deal it's it's not anyone's fault i mean he came up later he came up older that's what happens he's not a 10-year deal guy but he deserves to get his money he deserves to get his pay he deserves to you know get his [ __ ] so they should do that but speaking about correa being in the big apple i mean twitter twitter was in a frenzy because he had on the navy blue jacket with the white sleeves he's in new york he posted up a picture with the with the caption nyc time everybody's going crazy everybody oh my god that whatever listen guys this is going to be fun um it might it might end in heartbreak for some of us fans who you know have a higher you know whose hopes are higher that the yankees do sign correa um what i will say is that for my 20 i think i moved up to maybe like 25 27 30 let's get i'll be generous 30 chance that the yankees sign korea i'll say why i went up because if korea continues doing this [ __ ] it kind of like forces them because of pr right right even if they didn't really want to even take a meeting with the guy now it's going to be like shin you know if he keeps doing this like and we don't me like this is gonna look really freaking bad with the glaring hole that we have at shortstop and this guy frolicking around new york in yankee colors commenting nyc time and all this stuff like so if he continues to push like yeah it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna force it's gonna force the yankees and i think we can make the announcement now i think we could we could say this with confidence carlos correa wants to be a yankee that i don't think not even not even based off of what happened today no i think he's mentioned many times before yeah that he i think there's actually quotes of him being like who doesn't you know want to play there or whatever or the yankees the yankees he said it multiple times so this stuff is out there guys i mean with with everything him going to houston and everything like that stuff kind of got put od on the back burner like people didn't want to hear it but now that he's a free agent i think all that stuff's going to come up i mean he's a puerto rican kid grew up over there i mean listen guys let's be honest like a lot a lot a lot of people coming from puerto rico are going to say yeah like i always wanted to play for the yankees and stuff like that or whatever he is just like really hamming it up i mean we're only in november and it's just like yeah he's like oh msg i'm there baby watching my ufc fight i'm gonna throw on this navy jacket with the white sleeves they already know what colors these are tomorrow like you said he might throw in the angels i think it was actually a yankee jacket no no it was so you might have saw the picture was that a fake one yeah the thing oh okay so i got the fake on it yeah yeah i saw that they put the yankee patch on okay i got faked out on that yeah he wasn't he wasn't wilding like that okay i thought he was going to but the colors he knew he knew what he was doing he put the colors on he's there whatever if i was as good as a player as carlos cabral correct correa let me tell you this right now i walk around with an empty briefcase carlos what's in the bag yeah what what what's in the bag you're gonna find out very soon yeah really you're gonna find out very soon what's in the bag exactly that's all i'm gonna tell them i'll put it in the bag you show up to the meeting you show it put it in the bag what's it gonna take well you just you have to fill this up yeah that's it that's what that's what it's gonna take let's talk after you after you fill this up we start talking about years and all that other stuff right we'll have a conversation nah man look i don't look again i'm not not high on it not because carlos correa is not a good player whatever i think we both said we think he's a great player not we don't not that we don't think he's a fit we think he's an amazing fit yes i know he's right-handed or whatever that when it comes to carlo's career like that has no bearing on anything the glove is too freaking good and the bat is too freaking good the postseason prowess is too freaking good like it's too and he's 27 years old and the thing that a lot of yankee fans don't like i love it i want the attitude i want the personality i want the chip on the shoulder i want the wear better than you i want all of that i want all that confidence on these guys because they don't have it and the manager doesn't supply it yeah no we're missing we're missing that we're missing that that that kind of swag and don't get me wrong i know judges tried it people have tried it but correa is a natural put the box away fam you know what i mean yeah correa is natural with it like listen when the astros are i said it before i'ma say it one more time before i jump like whatever before i end my my comments on this when the astros were playing the red sox i saw something and i can't unsee it jared kerrabas hates harlow's career and he is the pulse of red sox nation the red sox hate carlos correa yeah once i realized how much they hated that guy i've never won i've never wanted a man because that's not my you know whatever but i think i began to want them and i said wait wait wait they they hate him they really dislike all the times they don't like that i was like oh no no no no no god please we have to sign this guy that's exactly what we need yeah that is exactly what we need i need the guy that all he has to do is step up to back in the bot in the top of the first sitting at fenway and they are raining the booze on him that's what i need give me that fire because that's going to light a fire under all these guys ass facts that's going to do it because like you said our manager's not going to die listen we we all know that's not going to come from there maybe we get a player like that we got a shot we got a shot that's hope it'll help it'll help no doubt about it but again my percentage is low because we know what we're dealing with here again they can surprise the [ __ ] out of us no of course of course that that's always an option that's always an option i hope they do like i said i'm not gonna look look guys um i ranted all year trust me i don't want to go into the off season all the way into the season ranting and and complaining about you know what the yankees should have done i you know either way i'm gonna give them their shot you know what i'm giving them their fair share and i'm gonna i'm gonna call it like i see it that's just what i do but i will have to call the offseason the way i see it and i'm gonna stick to my guns if there's not multiple changes made the way i like the way the team should be the way i know they need to be constructed better you know i'm gonna i'm gonna let my i'm gonna let my uh i'm gonna let my spit tell you what i think and we'll go from there but i mean with that being said i mean i'm wrapping this thing up i don't have nothing else to add i'm amazed i'm still awake it was a couple of times where i feel like i'm like oh man though i handled it well i think i think you did i think you did really good man i didn't think i i told i told friends before i got on this down like fan we might have to go for like 45 minutes because i don't know if i'm gonna make it through the whole thing but nah man here i am here i am and the recovery you know i take things i take things as a challenge man and i was talking to somebody and thank you too to all you guys on twitter that like hitting me up they had like rotator cuff surgery and and all these other things a lot of people messaging me and one guy got me pretty hyped today because he's like pete what did the doctor tell you about like your shoulders and stuff so i also got a tear in this one but i got tears in both but this one's not as bad this one could just heal but this one is all destroyed and he said to me goes pete you know the great thing about this i said what he goes you never really understand how strong you are i said what are you talking about he goes since you've had the tears before you can't do the type of weights and everything that you're used to doing so he's like when you're fully healed and you're at that level again you'll be surprised how much working out you've been doing that you're actually going to start feeling then and i'm like huh i never i never really thought about that because he's like yeah the big thing is like he had it um he actually had the whole rotator cuff surgery and all these like it took me six to seven months to feel fully you know better again and um he's like at least you know that you're healed that there's not damage there anymore so that's like a real breath of fresh air but i tell you what wearing this thing while you sleep and everything man it's hard it's hard it is hard man then my elbow because it's like this all day that [ __ ] gets like locked and i gotta finally try to stretch it it sucks it sucks but anybody who has any suggestions that have been through it hit me up hit me up i could take any advice because again i like to learn so if you guys have anything at all about having a you know torn everything in there this location months of recovery let me know let me they're gonna suggest all the drugs in the world all the drugs in the world man that's what they're gonna suggest they're gonna be like yo pete you gotta get high bro that's what it's been that's what i'm telling you man like i did not think i was making it through this so after this um i am literally showering and knocking

about right now and that is the offseason what are the new york yankees going to do and you know what does this mean for the yankees moving forward i've seen a lot of people kind of break down these moves and talk about what does this mean for the yankees going forward is this is this uh is is this the the start of the yankees having a very different roster well you know we'll get there we'll get there and we'll chat about what basically today means and again answer some questions so let me pull up the last thing i need to pull up here then it is about to be 7 30 and we will jump right into it

excellent so we got all that stuff and i'll announce those first and then go from there bingo it is 7 30. so everybody that is in here thank you so much for being here um thank you for everybody with the get well soon yeah yeah man i'm uh i will be stronger and better than ever after these four or five months of fully healing ella yankee king man thank you so much for starting us off uh with the super chat um and then yeah if you guys got questions i'm gonna get to that after we talk about this stuff but i don't think that's really a question there by la yanking i mean the roster moves are just a clear clear roster space on popular opinion it would be best if yankee skip on the top shortstop class eli greatly appreciate your support man and we will get to that and i mean yes spoiler alert i feel like ella yankee king you just did the spoiler right there for the beginning of the video but we will talk about that we'll have a lot to talk about when it comes to that um and i will of course get to those things but first let's go ahead and start off with the moves the yankees made today and go from there what it means uh also to everybody in the comments again thank you guys so much about um uh wishing me some best wishes to get well i'm good i gotta go see the shoulder specialist um next week then i'll find out how much damage is actually in there we already know rotator cuff is torn up ligaments are really torn up and beat up bad um and yeah of course the the hardest part which was the dislocation and getting that baby back in that was fun um if you ever want to see stars go ahead and do that a couple of times um but yeah thank you guys for worrying but doesn't stop me from doing this so i'm right here it doesn't stop me from anything coming up big for ny news which got a lot of them so stay tuned stay here and thank you guys but let's get right into it the moves made today by the new york yankees we'll go over them one by one again guys li yankee king said it in the super chat this is the clear a lot of roster space right but one thing i'm going to talk about that a lot of people aren't talking about is the guys that can be added to the roster the rule five eligible guys that a lot of you guys may not know about i do we'll talk about that first move first the pittsburgh pirates claimed outfielder greg allen off of waivers from the new york yankees i tell you guys about this stuff a lot i have a lot of friends in pittsburgh i actually know quite a bit about the pittsburgh pirates organization their system because of these friends and they actually give me a lot of good information on their players a lot of them were asking me today about greg allen and he's a nice little piece for the pirates right i mean he did well for us we enjoyed him doesn't really have a spot on this team i understand if everybody said maybe he's a replacement of gardner all right but um not a major loss here for the yankees and again it does the job of clearing a spot next one is tim lecastro as claimed by the boston red sox and infielder andrew velasquez was claimed by the los angeles angels kind of funny on this one man people were really up in arms i made a joke i said well next year le castro's gonna steal 15 or 14 bases off the yankees he's recovering from an acl injury so guys it's a joke the thing that's not a joke is the reaction of the squid all i said about the squid was throw him back in the ocean who cares throw squid back in the ocean there's a lot of yankee fans who wanted him to be the starter coming up this year no fam come on look i like squid i like the story get him out it's fine i'm okay with it maybe he'll be the starting shortstop when seeger is our starting shortstop who the hell knows but um i'm okay with this i know a lot of people were um a lot of yankee fans really loved the story they really got attached to the player they liked who he was they liked what he brought to the table so i understand what yankee fans came on that but this is not some major loss this is not a major loss and the last thing is the yankees went ahead and um optioned rob brantley to triple a rob brantley then went ahead and decided to elect free agency so rob brantley is a free agent going forward so this clears up a lot for the new york yankees as you guys know um and what it also sets up for is some really important rule five eligible players to be added to the 40 man roster unless you might have another um what's his face another garrett whitlock out there and i have a name that could actually be that so you know it is what it is right that's that's where the new york yankees are right now and um you know we'll see so let's let's forget about that forget about the moves li yanking my friend man thank you so much i greatly appreciate that do they add anthony volpe to the 40 man roster they don't have to yet they don't have to yet but that'll definitely happen of course in the future volpe is the future of the yankees prospect pool and a lot of what they will be doing i think will actually be based around anthony volpe so getting into the rule five eligible guys so guys i'm gonna throw some names out there for you i'm gonna give you a list of these names some of them you're gonna know some of them you may not so i'm gonna run through them here's a couple of them randy vasquez and i'll go over to guys i believe will be on there everson pierre matt sawyer steven ridings you guys should be familiar with oswaldo cabrera if you guys are not familiar with be familiar with them trey ambergee you guys are familiar with jp sears left-handed pitcher ron maran you know what gets me so mad when i see an italian name and i don't pronounce it immediately ron marinaccio is a right-handed pitcher very good greg weissert sean simple trevor lane johnny brito and matt crook so guys out of those players i don't know how many of you guys you know know all of these players but there's a few of them i will go ahead and immediately tell you they're going to be on the 40 man the yankees aren't going to miss out on these guys so with that being said let's go ahead and jump into who those guys are first one oswaldo cabrera if you guys do not know who oswaldo cabrera is know his name now he is gonna be a guy that's gonna be talked about a lot during spring training he will be in a major league spring training camp no doubt about it and he will be on the 40-man roster if not a team will get him and he'll be on a major league club somewhere that's the talent level of this kid 22 years old triple a last year i'm actually played on uh two different teams double a and triple a both of them he was terrific more time in double a than anything but overall on the season 29 homers 89 rbis 21 stolen bases 272 average 330 on base percentage 863 ops switch hitter uh throws right-handed fast pretty good defense plays all over the place this is a keeper this is a keeper this is a guy no doubt about it that you can easily easily see on the yankee 40 man roster he will definitely be there oswaldo cabrera do not forget that name second guy on the list and guys right after we discuss all of this we will jump into the yankee off season i'll answer your guys questions so oswaldo cabrera guys remember that name here's a guy who can help the new york yankees next year everson pierre or everson pierra however you want to say it i'm trying to be as proper as i can there another guy outfielder 20 years old playing high a last year actually went through three teams rookie ball a ball and then hudson valley which is high a and he actually played the most in hudson valley but really came not necessarily came out of nowhere but really put himself on the prospect map 20 home runs last year 57 rbis 303 average 398 on base percentage and a 1.084 ops slap your mama that is good let me tell you right now here's a guy undoubtedly is gonna be asked about a lot one of the yankees top prospects teams are gonna want him uh he's a guy to also really keep your eye on the next two guys um and again steven writings and ron morenaccio are both likely could be added but i'm talking about the guys you may not know much about ron was terrific in triple a last year and you guys know already about steven writings we seen what he could do got injured didn't finish the year at the yankees but the only reason he was down was because of the injury he would have been back but um i'm not gonna talk that much about those guys because we'll see what happens with him i do expect him to get on there but these other two guys are very important um i think i just got a couple of super chats i want to go ahead and answer those mic because if i don't answer them they'll fall off so we are going to talk about the off season so let me see what mike said mike i greatly appreciate it thank you my friend listen i'm not saying seeger is bad but if he's gonna get 250 million plus i'd rather much sign correa seeger has terrible defensive metrics i don't get it uh and then my good friend anthony medina says pete the yankees at present have 34 players on the roster do you think there will be more because there are a few that are currently on the il yes there will be more openings on the 40-man roster and of course nada we're talking about that yes there will be more there could definitely be some non-tenders also in there so i'm just talking about what's happening today um but getting to the last two names that i want to chat about before we get into the off season and answer your guys questions the next guy is randy vasquez if you guys do not know who randy vasquez is learn the name really really quickly randy is 23 years old uh and uh this year excuse me i'm um ball high a ended with somerset terrific stuff excellent stuff overall in the season eight and four 2.52 era 23 games 21 games started 107 innings 130 strikeouts randy is a keeper learn to name he's gonna be a guy to really look at next year randy vasquez it's very hard to do things with one hand my goodness you never know until you know now i know last guys matt saw a sawyer excuse me i was about to say so i saw you i don't know what the hell i'm saying matt sawyer here's another guy right here uh throws very very hard could be a whitlock type if the yankees let him go could be a whitlock type highest he played all year was in high a hudson valley but on the season five and six 4.69 era 23 games 21 games started 111 innings 127 strikeouts he definitely piles up the k's throws very hard a lot of people believe this kid is gonna actually end up being in the bullpen and a lot of people think he could do that right now he is extremely talented really really good player we'll see what happens there rodiger i hope i'm saying the name right get correa for shortstop and move him to third um we are going to talk about all of that and you are actually right on time because we're gonna talk about that stuff right now jeremy sweeney greatly appreciate the super chat also my friend uh thank you so much so guys let's go ahead and get into it throw your questions out there uh let me know what you got what you want to talk about uh when it comes to the off season and we will go ahead and go from there uh let me see my give me one second guys i think my camera's messing up on me one moment all right give me one second i might have to switch because with one hand i don't think i can move this thing around one second everyone all right guys i am still here i have not gone away i think i'm gonna have to switch to my webcam sorry about that guys one moment let me see if this works hopefully it does there we go all right let me see if this works on here all right cool guys perfect a little close let me push this baby on back a little bit all right we are back in business guys i'm sorry about that okay so let's go ahead and get to your guys questions as of right now ramon i see you immediately jump out what do i have any information as of right now guys no um nothing new besides what i've already reported and what i got out there so i don't have much new information i obviously have my own thought process of what the yankees may do and i think we talked about that on the um no i was about my goodness on the designated spitters podcast so yeah please let me get to your guys questions let's do this right now anthony medina says do you think gardy will be back i will say never say never but if you guys do remember i reported on that video of my friend who talked to brian cashman and i was told then that they don't believe gardner is gonna be back i mean the words that i heard were they don't expect that gardner is gonna be back but i'll tell you right now you you will never know you'll never know pete can you do the ymca ryan fam nah mag just one all i got is the one right now that is it so i would say as of right now i'd say right now no gardner is not back i'd say right now i don't think they bring gardener back but it wouldn't shock me one bit at all that wouldn't shock me at all um trade gary sanchez for a let's go brandon t-shirt we'll see what happens with them luis heal starting the year in the rotation says matt g no i don't believe so matt um and if that's the case i probably wouldn't be too happy because look one of the mistakes that yankee fans uh tend to make a lot is they're putting a lot of value into what the rotation did in 2021 and that's fine but to repeat that you know you don't want to just sit back and go with the same guys you don't want to go with the same gang i've said this i'm on record of saying this i've said this on the designated spitters podcast you guys can see it if you guys watched it you would know i am not a fan of not improving the yankees rotation i do believe robbie ray should be a main target i do think the yankee should also go out there potentially make a trade maybe a sean minaya maybe a basset maybe there's another name out there that can make some sense maybe arizona's willing to move um zach gallon maybe that's a young guy the yankees could put some prospects towards and pick up maybe john gray these are all guys i will love and i really really believe the yankees need to go out there and do that i still believe pitching is key i know offense needs to do it but the yankees got a good situation believe it or not with their offense this is the thing that a lot of people don't don't understand when i talk about gary sanchez one of the first things people goes will pete how are we making up that production well what production and you don't need production like that from everybody but you need role players that can make some good plays you need guys if you get rid of gary give me defense give me defense because that's better than what gary was giving us so a lot of those things like that need to work out that way but um there's a lot of good the yankees can do i just hope they improve the rotation significantly pete i'm surprised that and this is uh from li yank king ella man thank you so much i appreciate the super chats man really do pete i'm surprised that no one is talking about the number one priority this offseason signing aaron judge to an extension hey eli i'm with you i've said that you've heard me say that multiple times i thought the yankees would do it it it's starting to look a little like we're not hearing much about that but we'll see right we will see um we'll see what happens but um i know you guys heard me say john gray i would die and i may go against my own word that the yankees may never win a world series with aaron boone if the yankees make all these significant changes i am not confident that they will i've said this for a long time and i'm not gonna change on that i am not confident the yankees will make the changes they need to make which is a lot mind you i don't think aaron hicks should be the center fielder i don't think gary sanchez should be the catcher they obviously need a short stop and they need a first baseman i count anthony rizzo as a new guy i count anthony rizzo as a new guy because anthony rizzo was not here to start the year so i still count him as a new guy tyler says edit my trade before jason dominguez laboratories medina and gomes for jose ramirez and nick woodrin um look i don't care about nick honestly if you could get me jose ramirez you do it you do it folks i'm gonna throw it out to you right now i'm gonna throw it out there to you right now would you include jason dominguez in a jose ramirez deal and i swear to god i better get the right answer i better get the right answer fam ramon yeah i would count gallo as a new guy he wasn't there on 21. he wasn't there in 21 so i would still count gallo as a new guy so guys let me let me see those let me see those answers in there cleveland calls you up and cleveland says guys we will talk as long as jason dominguez is in that deal what do you do greminator i know you're better than that vamos brandon i know you better than that griminator i know you better than that this is the easiest answer in the world fam yes yes you do it yes my base is smarter than this oh god i'm i'm actually surprised that i see some of you saying you wouldn't do it really riffle you guys know who i'm talking about here right jose ramirez jason dominguez is a super raw talent now we know the kid could be terrific we understand that this is a super raw talent guys jose ramirez has a great contract and he has everything the yankee offense needs are you guys serious right now you wouldn't trade jason dominguez would you guys do it straight up now i'm kind of concerned here fan i'm concerned right now great point great point ramirez is the type of player you hope dominguez could turn into and he's the guy right now we gotta win now fam you gotta you gotta do it now fam you gotta do it now me me yes 100 100 ramirez can go he could take over third base absolutely terrific i would do that in a heartbeat and of course look if you called up the indians and he said hey dominguez for him they'd be like yeah shut up not happening it's gonna cost a lot it's gonna cost a real lot to get a guy jose ramirez i i'm on record saying this he would be my guy he would be my guy before any free agent and kent you're right there most people believe jason dominguez is about four years away so we'll see pete um this is from li yankee king again pete i'm about i'm all about jram trust me but the window is shut time to sell off pieces not bring in players i would deal dominguez but not now you know here's my thing about that here's my thing about that nobody has you know i've been anybody who has watched me for a while knows the way i feel about the yankees and what they have to do this off season unless i will rip them a new every single day i think you guys know that about me already or confident that i will do that um no matter how big ny news gets which is gonna be very damn big by the way i'll always rip this team a new when i have to and if they don't go out there and do what they need to do you will hear me talking about it all year long the only shot this team has of winning with these guys is one or two years tops i believe that if they're gonna go for it they gotta go for it now they do have a lot of young kids coming up that could really help them but they gotta do something now they gotta do something now they gotta do something now yeah i mean pierre could pierre could but i mean there's a lot of good things you know um griminator i don't know too much about suzuki the center field of the the right i believe he's a right fielder actually um i know he got good speed so i don't i don't know much about him to honestly talk about if he could be a new center fielder for the yanks i i don't know that much about him um i i honestly i don't know much about him again i haven't done any too much research on them and i've i haven't heard of any connection for the yankees i think chris taylor would be terrific i think chris taylor would be a nice one now a lot of people see chris taylor and they look at the strikeouts i just see versatility with a guy like him i see versatility and he does well in the postseason you know he doesn't fold under that pressure i think i already told you guys what my infield would be rizzo at first ramirez at third catcher would be stallings shortstop look you either sign somebody to a low-cost deal maybe an iglesias uh maybe give it to peraza and then second base is dj that would be my club that would be my club but we'll see uh tyler says much love from canada appreciate all you do who's gonna who's gonna man center now with the gardner allen roster uh with the garden al ross opening up cheers um tyler i hate to spoil um your day and excuse me guys i'm sorry i'm that's my damn eye here my goodness i hate to ruin your got your day maybe but it's probably gonna be aaron hicks unfortunately it'll probably be aaron hicks aaron hicks will likely be the center fielder for the new york yankees i mean just as what it is aaron hicks will likely be the guy in center field for the yanks he's saying it but probably would be anthony my friend thank you pete the only way i would trade dominguez is that the anchors can get ramirez but it's gonna take more to the to get him of course 100 right but i do it i go for it guys i go for it that's what a winning team needs to do that's what brian cashman needs to do that's my i forgot it's my webcam now and maybe a little careful that's what he needs to do that's what he needs to do you cannot come at this team this off-season okay we added seeger we're good to go no you're not and i urge yankee fans don't fall for that don't fall for it if our off season is a free agent shortstop stay home stay home let me do the dirty work because trust me i will you think my rats were bad last year wait until this year if they don't do what they need to do stay home go buy a bucket of chicken at kfc forget buying a bucket of chicken in yankee stadium for 30 dollars let them keep it let him keep it they can't come out here and say we got two guys we good to go we got hicks coming back we got severino coming back gary's improved blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah same if that's what brian cashman does forget it guys then then li yankee king is right sell guys you might as well sell that's the case you might as well go you might as well go oh there'll be a lot of ranting for me next year my blood pressure's good though you know what i mean 2021 was tough on your boy almost died in january got covered shoulder stuff all messed up all in the same year blood pressure always stayed good fam i'm ready to go trust me i'm ready look this ain't this ain't gonna stop me all right i'm ready to go i'm waiting and i got a huge team coming behind me in january stay tuned for that guys december wait until you hear what ny news got planned for you and who's coming on board and what we got you're gonna have yankee galore everywhere so much content you ain't gonna know what to do with it so much content you ain't gonna know what to do with it johnny johnny by the way how's the baby doing my fam my son said what's up look at that i didn't even see that before johnny i didn't see that before what up little guy your gut feeling from what you heard what things you predict to happen who is the shortstop woo all right um you know johnny i'm gonna take the easy way out um because if i'm gonna go off of everything i hear you know what people tell me off record um you know after interviews and things like that everybody believes seeger is the guy um everybody believes seeger um i go a different route i i go a different route guys i really do um i go a different route uh i i look to sign pitching i like john gray i like robbie ray um i think you can make a trade for a big name whether that's olson uh whether that is ramirez who i read that whether that's cattell marte um uh whether whether that is um carson kelly there's a lot of things out there that new york yankees can do um if you guys saw my video earlier that i released what might have been yesterday i think uh you know there's a lot of these guys i'm not about um rodiger said move correa to third when the prospect is up you know i think that's an idea for um what they plan on doing even if they got sega um seeger i think their idea would be to potentially move in the third but you know i heard something about anthony volpe and this was actually from cashman himself um in that conversation that i got to listen to um he believes and a lot of the yankees and the the yankees uh mino lee guys believe that anthony volpe is actually going to become a second or third baseman because they actually believe he's gonna fill out his body's gonna fill out more which may slow him down but they believe this kid's actually gonna have more power than they ever expect him to have ella yanking my friend you are being way too generous today but um thank you that's all i can say because all this stuff helps build the channel actually helps towards what is happening in january so li says pete here is my thing yes you have a window with coal but let's be honest the team is constructed horribly and trading the guys i've said before is what the yankees need to do uh but here is the guys too and i'm guessing you're gonna add more to that um but eli no i don't disagree with you and i've said this before but it's about who you trade and how you go about it there's no reason to lock aaron judge up long term if you don't expect to win there's no reason to go out there and sign free agents if you don't expect to win so the thing is we got to live in the reality of what the yankees are we can't live in a well this is what we would do yeah that's fun and all we can always talk about what we would do that's an easy thing to do what we would do but that's not going to be reality and we know that by living in brian cashman's world for so many years my concern is i don't know if brian cashman is the guy that could make enough moves and one kind of kick his ego to the side and go these moves didn't work these moves didn't work aaron hicks hasn't worked so whether aaron hicks is our fourth outfielder and he gets playing time now and then or we attach a good prospect to him and move him that's my thing i don't know if brian cashman is that guy who could do that i don't know if he's that guy and that's the truth i don't know if he's the guy that could do that in all in all seriousness i don't know if he could do that stuff so we'll see but that is my honest opinion of where they are right now uh let's see i got hey simonetti soar sign chris bryant and if the yankees do sign clayton kershaw make him a reliever uh no i think i think a lot of that is off um i don't think anybody would be too upset with brian i think brian's a good player i don't think it happens with the yankees and i would say no with anything with clayton kershaw i don't think kershaw's gonna want to be a reliever uh mike says do we bring tanaka back there's the rumor again that like i said person i got that information from 100 legit no doubt about it we'll see we'll see i wouldn't mind that if the yankees got a guy like right with him i wouldn't mind if the yankees got a guy gray with him uh danny says attach some good prospects and move hicks to arizona for martay you know the thing is danny um why would arizona want hicks that's the problem with aaron hicks he he has no value you know what i mean he's not even a we saw last year you know he started to not even be a good he started to not even be a good center fielder anymore so i mean with that being said and on top of that it's a team that's looking to rebuild so i i don't really know i don't really i don't know i i don't i don't know you know where hicks could be moved his off his salary is very movable so there's a lot of people you know is his salary movable yeah his salary is is is extremely movable you could no doubt about it move his salary that's not hard to do it's just about doing it it's just about doing it adding a prospect it's got to be a good prospect too li yankee king you are being far far far too generous today my friend um i really really appreciate it fix it long time ray yes but yamamoto bring him in jonah heim iglesias and you have the left side of the infield uh long-term volpe at third peraza shortstop moving dj yes is unpopular but needs to be done uh where to start with this one fix it long time with rey yamamoto jonah heim i like jonah heim i don't think jonah heim would cost much um he's a younger pro younger catcher i believe he's a switch hitter a pretty decent defensively texas rangers um wouldn't be a horrible option if i'm the yankees and i'm looking to win jacob stallings the guy i go to if i'm looking to have a guy who could potentially you know come into his own and be a really all-star caliber catcher uh carson kelly is that guy but um there there's not many others out there i think i i believe and i said this before i think jacob stalin's the best bet for the yankees if they're trying to win within the next two years that that's my honest opinion trade hicks to minnesota for buxton trade hicks to any team for a year's supply of unicornios for boone that would make sense that would make a lot of sense sports talker my friend how are you doing matt olson is the guy to yankees need a package of heel peraza voigt and wesneski uh should net the yankees matt olson it would save the a's around six to seven million and net him some very very good prospects i'd be okay with that i'd be okay with that um i've said that i've said that for um a while i'd be okay with that and and at least sports talker you got the prospect that it actually would cost to be in that deal unlike a lot of times we see these deals and we're like uh yeah that doesn't make any sense at all so um no you are definitely spot on with that one i greatly um i appreciate that comment because that's that's very logical makes a lot of sense and i think yankee fans would be happy with that i'd do that deal i would do that deal on the heartbeat um no question about it also saves the yankees money in a sense of locking in anthony rizzo long term who i love and i'd be happy to see him back but maybe that money then could go elsewhere maybe that could go to a starting pitcher maybe that could go to a john gray maybe that could go to again whoever shortstop they get um you know maybe that goes to a couple of a couple of role players potentially anthony medina my friend thank you so much pete if yankees cannot extend aaron judge this year or next maybe they need to consider trading him i know people will get mad but i'm being real it depends on what the yankees do look if the yankees don't lock this guy in long term it's it's not going to be too cute i'll tell you right now because you'll have teams like the giants you'll have teams like the angels and it's home for aaron judge lined up they will be lined up um to get him they'll be absolutely lined up to get him no doubt about it and um you know a guy like aaron judge at some point you got to feel disrespected don't you i mean at some point don't you feel a little disrespected by your team just a little disrespected by your team to say i don't know about it guys i've been here for a minute i've been kind of quiet we gonna do anything about this i don't know i don't know you you would expect you would expect that that something will get done here soon it's kind of ballsy for the yankees to wait it'll be kind of ballsy but uh we'll see we'll we'll see what happens there well i expect aaron judge to be a yankee for good all right guys i am gonna get a r get ready to jump off here think the medication is kicking in starting to slur my words a little bit i swear to god there's just water in here there's just water in here that is it or is it no it really is it's just water in there um

what is going on everybody pete simonetti here for nyy news guys this is gonna be a topic of conversation for the longest time until we know for sure if gary sanchez is gonna be back or not this is gonna be a topic of conversation we know that it's gonna be one of the hottest topics you guys i think already know my opinion i've made it be known i've said it i said what i think what well i said what i would do which is a lot of what this video is about and i've said what i think they're going to end up doing which i don't have confidence the yankees will really make a change at catcher i got a gut feeling and hopefully i'm wrong that brian cashman said ah one year more let's let's go i'll give him another shot or whatever and folks i think that's completely the wrong move i've already stated my cases on why i believe that i've also already shot back on the naysayers regarding my opinion on this like oh the production production production what production what are you talking about the yankees don't need to rely on catcher production to be a good team and that's the thing i think people got to get in their heads and the guy we are seeing seems like it's either a i am not who you guys thought i was thing or a cry for help i need to get out of here let me go somewhere else that's not as scrutinized and maybe i will become this really good player with the national league having a dh open that'll be a great spot for gary sanchez by the way a great spot for gary sanchez maybe you know a brewers would need a bat miami would be terrific i think there's a lot of good spots open out there for for gary sanchez but for now let's talk about the yankees um i will again go ahead and go over some of my griefs with gary you guys have heard them all many years ago it feels like many years ago now your boy right here you're looking at him the guy who broke the story the guy who broke it down for all of you the guy who started the conversation about gary sanchez being quote-unquote lazy not coming to camp the way the yankees asked him to hitting weight goals and things of that nature and everybody on pete because god forbid you talk about gary you better be right source come to find out pizza manetti of ny news was 100 spot on a-rod then followed up after that he had an ex-yankee coach follow-up after that many in the industry followed up after that that gary sanchez has an issue hell there's even a scouting report the year he was called up that basically questions his heart that questions his ability to actually become a better defensive catcher so again this was never and i said in those early videos way back in the day when i broke the story about the yankees brass not being happy with them i even said it back then this is not a knock on gary sanchez this is just c you know i'm putting out the information that i am told that i know is accurate and i put it out there so you know a lot of people started this oh pete hates gary and a lot of you guys who have followed me for years now you guys know that that's the case and i've always said i hope gary sanchez is the best catcher in baseball year in and year out for the yankees i also said me and felix and i think felix actually said this before me trade him for real mudo get jt real muddle back then the yankees didn't do it hey that's all history we can't go back to that now gary's who he is the yankees got to make the decision do we move on without him or do we keep him for another year and see what happens we pay him seven or so million or whatever it's gonna cost do we decline him and resign him for less would he accept that um it's interesting we'll see he's a non-tender candidate i think he is i don't think it goes that route personally but we will see i think his value is definitely there to be traded um is it what it was no but i do think for a one year guy especially with the dh coming to the national league the yankees get some good form because if the national league has that dh you could say well look guys there's really never been a question about his bat now if you want to talk about batting average well you know i'll throw slugging percentage numbers at you i'll throw homers for catchers at you i can throw those things at you so we're gonna have to get something decent that we'd want in return to move them but you know a lot of the things gary did um earl from twitter shout out to earl um who had to ruin my morning i wake up and i see the play against the mets when gary sanchez got the ball about 20 feet ahead and walked away basically and pulled away from the bag and allowed him to score still to this day i think that's the worst catching play of all time i i don't think that would ever happen with many other catchers maybe none and i almost feel like i could put my hand on fire for that one um i don't think that happens with many people but it did it happened and then the pop-up and the bad framing the past balls the not wanting you know cold cole doesn't want to pitch to him and again i wanted to detail about that on the designated spitters pod that i think a lot of that has to do with aaron boone too and kevin curran mentioned this also is getting did he ever get these guys in a room and go look guys hash it out but if you guys remember too a lot of people get mad and i said guys look at the end of the day they don't have a manager with balls so it's gonna be up to coal simple as that they don't have a manager that goes garrett look you guys need to work this out because i'm telling you to so figure out what the problem is work on it together and move on they don't have a manager like that so all year when people argued i was like guys you arguing this for no reason they don't have a manager with balls it's gonna be gary cole's decision simple as that disagree with it or not that's the fact it's garrett cole's decision they don't have a manager who's gonna say nah that's not happening on my club they don't have that so looking forward two names that are now being talked about among most yankee fans again i guarantee you you heard here first nobody and i mean nobody on twitter yankee beat writers or anybody else was telling you all late early last year about jacob stallings as pizza manetti was nobody was talking about carson kelly end of last year into the off season on round tables like pizza minetti was but again not to toot my own horn even though i'm tooting my own damn horn because i can and i want it because you know i'm in pain so i want to be you know this right here hi how you doing it's annoying let me let me let me have a little enjoyment fam okay let me have a little enjoyment anyway let's hope one of these two guys is the yankee catcher next year okay so there's news out of arizona that the diamondbacks may move on from carson kelly because he's often injured i think he's never had more than like 314 at-bats and they got um dalton varshall who is an outfielder but also plays catcher and they think they might turn to dalton a little more to be their regular catcher now again carson kelly shouldn't be cheap he won't come cheap so don't go ahead and say tyler wade and uh and uh let's see tyler wade and uh lucas lucky for him no that's not gonna happen it'll be a pretty decent trade i don't know the significance of it but um i'll let you guys get into that in the comments section below cause you guys are better at trades than i am i hate that whole let's make up trade ideas i don't like doing it it's not fun sometimes yeah you like to get an idea and a projection but not a big fan of it so last year carson kelly had a 2.2 war um decent defensively but again if you're looking at potential for the future and a guy who could potentially be an all-star caliber catcher carson kelly's your guy out of him and jacob stallings there's no doubt about it the higher upside the younger player carson kelly is going to be 27 next year it's carson kelly there there's no denying that last year overall i'll give you guys his numbers now again 2.2 war 304 at bats second highest he's had in his career 13 homers 240 average 46 rbis on base percentage 343 slogan 411 ops 754 and again on the defensive side not bad um he's not a bad defensive catcher at all so you know if you see that i see some people saying well how good is he's a good defensive catcher he's not bad he's well improved upon gary sanchez put it that way um if that's the way you want to see it he is well improved on gary sanchez and again potential wise future outlook wise of talent this would be your guy it's gonna cost a little more um i don't believe he would be a free agent for a while um i don't have that in front of me actually i do he will not be as early as free age will be 2025. so you're looking at 22 23 and 24 with them three full seasons where again he'll be cheap um arbitration will kick in and get a little bit of a raise because he's a good hitter but um the main thing with carson kelly is staying healthy and the workload the workload would be a little new for him i think the yankees either got to commit either one of these guys i think they would have to commit with kyle higashioka getting some reps getting a good amount of reps and giving these guys you know not as much playing time as some of us probably would want i do think these guys need their rest neither one of them have had a ton a ton of at bats a ton of ton of games underneath them the most games that carson kelly has ever played in is 111 and that was arguably or not even arguably that was his best year in the major leagues 18 homers 47 rbis this was in 2019 that was his best year in the majors and that is the most games he ever played most at-bats he's ever had so that was the best of course in kelly a couple of years ago so the big thing for him is health if you're looking at potential this is your guy now over to jacob stallings stallings on his ears you guys know he is right now a finalist for the gold glove award last year i mean he's the finals for gold glove award he's also won the fielding bible award for the best defensive catcher so again with a guy like him let me get his numbers first and i tell you the difference between the two and and why i would favor one over the other actually at this moment for the new york yankees a three war last year 374 bats eight home runs 246 average on base percentage 335 slugging 369 ops 704 it is his best offensive year in the major leagues his most games played 112 in the major leagues and again many around baseball believe this is the best defensive catcher in baseball that is the major major plus now i'm sure you guys want to hear who i would choose because you guys know i love both of these guys i've been talking about them longer than anybody out there and giving you guys the information on both of these fellas for me carson kelly is the potential guy he is the guy who may become a really good catcher for years to come he's the guy that's a little more risky he's the guy you're taking more of a risk on because there's the offense potential there's the defense potential but then there's the idea of the uncertainty of them we are not a hundred percent of who we're getting but we know this guy could be very good there's also the potential that he doesn't play many games now guys get over injuries and catching's a demanding position we all know that but you got to think that way looking forward for the yanks because the yankees need to win a world series under this garrett cole contract before they opt out they gotta try to win a world series where their best guys are young in their prime and give him the best shot of winning in my opinion just looking so trust me if i'm if somebody comes to me goes pete just disclaimer you got to choose one of these two for the next four to five years carson kelly all day all day carson kelly because potential if somebody came to mingle pete you get one of these guys for 2022. it's jacob stallings because defense to me is really what has been missing from that position not offense gary sanchez can hit you 20 plus homers we know that gary sanchez combat 210 have a decent you know good slugging percentage i drive in some runs i do all that stuff i want defense i'm at the point now where i want defense i want my young pitchers and my pitchers in general to know they could bounce a ball in the dirt they could have the confidence in bouncing a ball in the dirt they don't have to be worried about maybe gary not being able to block this pitch i want one of the best defensive catchers on this club period don't give me the nonsense about making up gary's production that's stupid that's a poor argument for the new york yankees if you're worried about that may i remind you may i remind you you got aaron judge you got g and carlos stanton you got dj lemay you're coming back from from injury all year you've got global tours who a lot of you feel like it needs to get a lot of your words gonna be much better at second base yankees also have a hell of a free asian pool opened up i expect them to get one of these guys they also got many great trades they can made a hell of a prospect pool they can move guys around from i don't think you sit back and look at the yankee roster and go look if we trade gary that hurts our offensive production if that is the case bring them back if that's the losing formula that was allowed losing excuse me cover your ears i should have put a warning if that is your formula that is again a losing formula and i will not go with that jacob stalling should be the guy should 150 be the guy the yankees trade for if he's available i don't see why he wouldn't be i don't see why that would be a problem i think the yankees can definitely pry him away um at throwing a pitching prospect you know what i mean again i don't know that all the trade values and these websites you can use and blah blah blah i don't care about that stuff i told you guys everybody's up for grabs to me instead of uh besides anthony volpe who i actually might be seeing in december early december i might i might actually be seeing anthony volpe if i go to the um italian uh baseball thing um the dinner they got for him and tom ferducci uh maybe attending that so we'll see i'll keep you guys updated on that but overall jacob stallings is my guy i'm banking more on a guy being very good with our starting pitching stealing some strikes doing the little things that count and i i think with confidence i can say i think you'll get two really good years from jacob stalin minimum that is until austin wells maybe really significantly improves offensively and could really be a full-time catcher or antonio gomez is ready those are the two main guys i'm looking at for the yankees when it comes to catching i think antonio gomez ends up being a guy if he stays healthy austin wells i think needs significant improvement at catching him there's many people that'll tell you now he's way behind especially at the level he's at his bat will carry him anywhere but in the catching position he's way behind so guys that is my thought on the catching situation i don't see any way you bring gary sanchez back and expect me to be happy i can't i can't i've seen enough of gary sanchez simple as that i know a lot of you disagree i have seen enough of gary sanchez guys it's been a long journey for me and gary it's been a long journey for me and gary a long journey i kind of been marked on twitter by many people as this big gary hater and that's never been the case i just reported what i was told and can you say it was wrong can you say it was not true it's proven true multiple times proven truth back then let alone now now everybody everybody's on captain pete's boat everybody jumped on captain pete's boat but um carson kelly jacob stallings i wouldn't be upset with either but i do think the win now 2022 catcher is jacob stallings you guys let me know in the comments section below and guys we are closing in on our january goal we are about 600 subscribers away from 6 000 subscribers guys please friends family any yankee fans you know share this link say guys follow pete and his team they got huge announcements coming out in january which we do actually coming out in december of everything we got planned in january the big new change coming up all the big additions you guys are not going to want to miss it again like share subscribe comment section below let me know what catcher you would choose maybe it's somebody different than i mentioned uh maybe you guys would stick with gary maybe you nut balls will stick with gary i don't know um let me know what you think about stalin's let me know what you think about kelly and on top of that throw me some trades out there because you guys are better than me when it comes to these trade scenarios so guys again for pizza minetty and team nyy news i greatly greatly thank you guys and i will talk to you again very very soon

how's it going exchanges this is my news.com mic where everyday ordinary yankees fans get a platform to showcase their opinions submit your takes in mp3 audio too and why insider gmail.com i can help you explode what's going on yankee fans this is alex reporting from ny news felix was kind enough to give me the mic for this uh this rant so thank you felix and i'm gonna go and uh just say what i think the yankees should do that's not about what they will do for sure if this video or this recording came out a couple weeks ago boone wouldn't be there aaron hicks would not be even in the discussion but here we are i make suggestions they make decisions so that being said i'd like to point out a few things that the yankees may do that they probably should do and uh let's just go around the diamond real quick let's start about gary sanchez let's be honest we haven't played him in a do or die game two years in a row how many times we gotta keep playing this he's due to make at least eight million dollars this year it's one more year before he hits free agency he needs to go what more do you want to say he can't really hit he just he's got tons of talent but he can't really hit no pitchers like the throw to him what more do you want i'm okay with the stop gap right now um yang gomes is a free agent we got a couple guys down on the farm that could potentially be that replacement not quite ready just yet um one thing to maybe look out for i don't think it will happen but uh mike zenino does have a club option with the raise if for any reason the raise declined that option five minutes later the yankees should have a contract ready and waiting for him but right now sanchez is the guy under contract he needs to go if we had to get somebody anyone to replace him it's fine with me the guy can't catch you can't pitchers aren't even relying on throwing breaking balls to him he's affecting the entire pitching staff even to the point where our ace has to have a personal catcher which is another issue entirely so then let's moving on to first base you know anthony rizzo i liked him personally i like his leadership i like what he brings to the table but he's not coming back he's just not dj la mayhew is probably going to be our starting first baseman this year we've given him that long contract for a reason i don't see him playing that utility type of role that he originally signed with the yankees for back in 2019 but he's our first baseman if we need somebody for just a glove who's going to be contact we already have him on the roster second base we got glabor i can't bel i can't wrap my head around letting glay rotorus go or trading him right now because his value is so substantially so so low right now and we know what kind of talent he's got he's still young um looking at his build i'm not that confident in his uh his ability to be very successful in the future i do think him moving to second base is going to be a tremendous help if he stays at second base leave him at second base and let him try and work out the problems he's had but right now his trade value is so low to where why you might as well just keep him and hopefully he brings it back i really hope he becomes the all-star that we've seen in the past shortstop that's the fun one we know cashman's already said he wants to he's going to be looking for a shortstop now let's just get this out of the way first everyone's saying corey seeger if those rumors are true that corey seeger for 300 million we can stop talking about corey seeger right now if we're gonna spend that money whether you like it or not carlos correa would be that guy me personally i don't want to see correa come to new york not anything to do with the scandal not anything to do about the 2017 cheating we all know about that but as yankee fans if he came into new york and he hit a couple big bombs we'd all get over it i don't personally don't want correa because of a couple reasons one he is going to cost a fortune if you haven't noticed these yankees are not the george steinbrenner yankees these are the hal steinbrenner yankees where they are very concerned about finances it seems like even to their detriment at some times but correa who's 27 years old if he's gonna get 300 million which he very well likely will you're gonna have to give him a lot of years you talk about a middle infielder who's great now but father time comes for everybody and he hasn't had too much injury history but he does have a history of some back issues which is really concerning for a long-term middle infielder again he's a great player don't really like his attitude too much but he is a great player it is what it is but i wouldn't sign him for that reason alone now the other side of the coin is we have our top two prospects that are short one of which that we know of is anthony volpe who the yankees are not trading for anybody he is a future stud now what may happen is he might become the future third baseman and then number two prospect oswaldo peraza will be the long-term shortstop i do believe that peraza is probably better suited long-term as a shortstop and volpe with his amount of talent will still be a great third baseman as well as offensive juggernaut with that being said we do need the shortstop they've been they've been talking about it for a while now they don't seem to be too inclined on trevor's story i think the move being that you have these two up and coming shortstops is marcus simeon the guy hits the ball the guy obviously he can move to another position when these two short stops are ready and are playing in the field at the major league level simeon's the guy and the biggest thing is he's not going to cost that much probably get away with three to five years maybe 150 million but you're not going to be locked into a very long contract with a guy like marcus seaman who is going to be able to do a lot of things the yankees have not been able to do this past year so moving on still have rochelle i'm sure there'll be some offers made on him um he's not our problem let's be honest he's really not but i'm sure they'll be filled in some offers and i know i missed it but voight will probably have some offers filled in his way as well but um the biggest one was let's talk about the outfield aaron hicks for some reason or another is going to be back again i mean how many games are you going to play 40 60 maybe i mean how many times you got to keep replaying replaying this over and over again we know what he is he's always hurt but he's here that's what they're gonna go with and you know that's my biggest knock on this yankee front office they don't never they never seem to know when to admit when they're wrong i mean hicks is a very good player when he plays but he never plays so it's not about if but when we need to get a new center fielder judge is obviously the cornerstone give him a contract now left field we did trade for joey gallo we have stanton who proved that he can play the field and if you haven't noticed he plays he hits better when he's in the rhythm of playing in the field however my inclination is to have judge and stanton both play right field as well as dh partially they keep them healthy when it comes to left field i honestly don't hate joey gallo as much as a lot of people do he does provide some value that the yankees didn't really have gold glove defense he does walk obviously strikes out a ton but the biggest knock on him is that he thinks too much it's been reported that he thinks too much and that's just not going to fly in new york it doesn't work and i don't get me wrong i like joey gallo as a person i hope he has a great career i just don't think he's right for this team i do however think that there is a left fielder who is perfect for what the yankees need and no one's talking about him so in my choice of a roster gallows traded get some more prospects in we don't have to look too far go to yankee stadium south and go to the orioles and make a deal for cedric mullins we've seen him for a few years now but has anyone really seen what he did last year he batted 291 stole 30 bases hit 30 homers he's probably going to win the silver slugger award and he's 27 years old and this is the orioles you don't have to trade that much for him it won't be you want to give up dominguez you would have to give up volpe or peraza you might package a couple prospects but this is a guy the yankees need he's versatile he was their center fielder so when aaron hicks goes down you have your back up you have your center fielder ready and waiting but as of right now i'd have him be playing in left field left field in yankee stadium's always been known as you need a second center fielder he fits the bill perfectly and let's not forget he's also a left-handed bat the last point i would like to make on is the rotation pitchings actually was very good this year and i know a lot of people want robbie ray and i like robbie ray my only thing is that he he's probably winning the cy young this year and with that being said he had a career year good for him but i do believe someone is going to overpay for them and when someone's overpaying for a pitcher who never had a year like this in the past who's had injury history might not be the best long-term investment if it's me i'm putting my money towards carlos rodon who is a top flight pitcher younger than robbie ray and i believe has more upside beyond that though this is alex from ny news and i'll talk to you soon

hey everybody what is going on pete simonetti here for ny news got a big video to talk about of course i also want to talk about this right now so yeah your boy's a little uh a little beat up right now um shoulder completely dislocated left shoulder completely dislocated everything inside there is torn including the rotator cuff um and also bone chips so um 20 21 as you guys know has been a tough year for everybody definitely no doubt about it's been a pretty tough one for for me um hardest year like i said i put a tweet about the hardest year of my life uh when it comes to all this stuff that's happened all this year but also some of the greatest blessings of my life um ny news doing so great and um so many other things coming like i said i talk about january a lot um so much things coming up but guys i want to talk about this today enough about me all about the yankees let's do this brian cashman's biggest off season is right now this is it this is the biggest off for yankee general manager brian cashman no doubt in my mind this is it the yankees right now at a crossroads there's a lot of things they can do there's a lot of things they should do think the majority of the fan base all agrees that there needs to be some pretty significant changes here what that will be is what's going to determine maybe the next few years down the line for the new york yankees like i said earlier they're at that crossroads so let's break a couple of things down here we know the open positions we know the free agents my big thing is what changes are going to be made what true changes are going to be made we know okay the easy things right them they feel a short stop likely uh they'll probably sign a first baseman could be anthony rizzo or if that doesn't happen dj lemayo probably plays first what is it here's the question i'm asking as me and francis leave asked besides maybe those two free agent changes from the beginning of 2020 to 2021 sorry the beginning of 2021 to what it would be in 2022 so i'm not counting anthony rizzo in that and gallow because you know they came in mid-season the starting lineup we need some new names in there i believe and i'm telling you guys this is my belief aaron hicks will be in center field i think cashman loves him i don't think that's going anywhere we'll see what happens with gary sanchez we could see a change at third base maybe unexpectedly uh whoever that might be you guys know i'm a huge fan of jose ramirez i think if that trades out that you open up anything besides volpe in my opinion dominguez anybody could go for a guy like ramirez that is like the perfect get for the yankees um but is cashman gonna make a move at third is he gonna make a move um again at second base is glaber come back he's gonna make the move at catcher he's gonna make move in center a lot of people also get this hold up where they feel like well the pitching was good last year so hey it's gonna carry on right we don't need to worry about that well you do you do because you can't look at previous year of what your team done and say it'll duplicate or some guys are going to get better right severino is going to be better you know that improves us immediately none of that stuff you know i love the idea of robbie ray talked about this a long time and basically this video is i just want you guys opinion i want your guys opinion in the comments section below i love the idea of robbie ray i would love the idea of sean manaya i think you get both of those guys in the rotation because some people probably hear that and go well pete they already got i don't care what they got that's the way this team needs to be looked at right now by brian cashman he has to look at this club like we don't have enough even in the positions we feel like we do have enough we don't have enough severity's back cool now let's pair him with robbie ryan see if maybe you know maybe we make a trade with oakland maybe it's not uh chapman maybe it's not um um um um bassett maybe it's not the big names that we think of the first baseman that everybody wants maybe it's not those type of moves maybe it's something like a sean manaya who i think would fit terrific in the yankee rotation maybe it's a lutrevino for the bullpen but my point here is there's a lot that can be done so looking at salary wise too if the yankees do some non-tendering if the yankees trade some salary if they look to be outside of the box for an example are all this chapman if a team wants to bite yankees off maybe 6 million 12 million on chapman for one year i think you'd have a lot of teams interested and if that's the case is that something you do i would but would brian cashman because that's all that matters at the end of the day folks what brian is that brian cashman's game i don't think so i don't think so this is why i said at the start this is the most important offseason of brian cashman's life as francis said and a few others have said to me maybe cashman saw last year the philosophy or the idea that these right-handed guys are going to be fine the idea that glaber tours is a shortstop we'll make it work he'll learn it he'll get better maybe all that is is a part of learning even though brian cashman's track record goes all the way back and it's kind of never been i learned from my mistakes brian cashman's a guy who is ego driven that is just fact he is ego driven for brian cashman to trade aaron hicks is like i gave up on him the trade didn't work we got to win every trade that's the way it is so people might point out while he traded for sonny gray and got rid of him sonny gray's agent wanted him out sunday gray's agent requested him be traded it just didn't work that's a hard one to fight so there's a lot of things again that can be done here you got a lot of salaries you got a lot of guys on a 40 man that you don't need dude yankees bringing a good role player off the bench do we see a little more balance in that lineup do we see a defensive catcher because i know a lot of people oh my god gary's production gary's open please stop it stop it stop it enough with the gary production really come on come on gary might go somewhere else would be terrific change of scenery is very needed in my opinion and honestly i think the yankees need a defensive catcher i think it's that time they got a lot in their lineup guys you know what i mean if we're being real here do the yankees gotta work about catcher production do they have to worry about catcher production do the yankees really have to say we got to make our lineup okay this guy we got gallo stanton judge lemay you torres maybe rizzo maybe uh geo maybe there's a different third baseman i don't know who it is whoever you want maybe a seeger and center and short we got all these guys check mark check mark check maybe we can trade for holes ramirez all these guys check check check check check yeah but uh we're not getting a lot of production at catcher excuse me excuse me how about we get somebody that you know won a fielding bible award best defensive catcher in baseball right up there best framing does everything great jacob stallings i don't know i i don't know could work could be smart could be a good idea you know especially when he got an ace who doesn't want to throw to your catcher who has declined and declined to decline and declined might be a good idea to make a change for as david ortiz talked about the bill maybe some team chemistry also the manager can help assist in that but we already know aaron boone doesn't do that aaron boone doesn't do that stuff the bullpen leave it leave it you could even trade from the pen you could trade salary from the pen earn yourself some more money maybe put it towards a a um a free agent maybe put it towards an extra free agent deal smaller deal something that's going to help a little more maybe a role player maybe something that's going to really help this team those are the type of things that brian cashman needs to do this off season brian cashman comes out guys i'm telling you right now he has a short stop hicks is in center urchella's at third whoever is at second and first it's the same nonsense sanchez behind a plate maybe they add a starting pitcher it's the same guys so don't buy into the propaganda hype that we go out there and sign the big free agent we back on top don't fall for that trust me i'm telling you right now we've said it before me and francis if there are not significant changes don't expect a significant result if there are not significant changes do not expect a significant result expect more of the same so again this is brian cashman's crossroad this is the yankee crossroad and he's given he's he's in charge of the ranks he's the man this is brian cashman's most important off season of his career you guys like share subscribe turn on notifications so you never miss a wonderful video from team nyy news let me know in

we designated splitters live every week live designated homie cause we spit heat we designated spitters friends we what is going on everybody pete timothy here for ny news designated spitters francis is right there francis i saw those number counts on the followers actually going up you know what we didn't talk about that we've been chatting a bit before we started this episode and i meant to say good luck for the shout out because today today uh you guys are not following francis just shot up i think i got another maybe between 12 and 15 more today man you guys see it right there man go ahead and follow at one francis lee it's right there bam i can't i can't stretch my hand over to that side but i'm finishing it right over there you guys can see it so yeah we got the world series going on right now you guys will be seeing a sunday we got game uh what is it for going on right now in the world series um two to one in the moment and um yeah we'll probably if the if the braves do something i might give you guys a little tomahawk chop and and uh see that uh passing might have a heart attack when i do it but i thought we were gonna call this episode american choppers choppers i thought we were going to call this episode american choppers maybe we could we could just cgi trump in the middle of us you really you really want to explode don't you passive will have a heart attack it's funny because and again you know we don't we don't we don't get too political here at all when we talk about stuff but i was laughing because i told the guys in the chat i said i said watch i i sent you guys the things because i knew it i said okay trump is going to a game you're going to have your adlers you're going to have your your um your martinos do their regular things and like right on cue martino has to write an article on it what really happened how he really got it who cares who cares but my question is why what do you mean how he really got it he's at a baseball game who cares how he cuz apparently when he's when he wrote he was like he was invited by randy levine to come oh and then we reached out to we reached out to randy levine's people and they said that's not necessarily the case he asked to come here who gives a [ __ ] who cares and then right away lindsay adler oh look i'm living in a simulation you go walk your dog you're living in a simulation i was like i just feel like growing up so childish it's stupid yeah it's like it's like listen i uh jeff passing in his article yesterday oh the worst the worst literally the worst article ever you're like we're we're devoting so much time and energy so much time and energy to things that like even if you remove it even if you remove it and people stop doing it what does that really do for anybody nothing nothing what does that mean i all i see is passing and adler and whoever else telling me that people are offended by this but i have yet to see the people that they say are offended by this they're not actually being offended by this they're not where was where was passing and everybody else in 95 in the world series is then where were they at talking about this stuff it's it's the cool thing to do on one side they don't care if you think jeff passing this bothers him you're at your freaking mind you're out your mind it's funny like little things like that it's it's hilarious and i'll be honest i told francis this beforehand my article at kevin kernan put ny news further up on the map i had a lot of former baseball players reach out to me a lot of them reach out to me companies actually reach out to me and thank us for what we're doing because we're keeping things real we're saying what's on our mind we're not holding back we're not saying well i want to go with the flow here or i'm going to make a whole video talking about how i have a native american friend who finds the chop the tomahawk chop offensive i mean it's it's crazy that you know everything's offensive everything's offensive and it's well if i look for me and my fiance were thomas the other i said babe if i if i look to be offended i could look to be offended i could find something to be i could go into an italian restaurant and i could see every italian restaurant has the little fat guy statue with the big mustache holding the tomatoes i don't i don't think that should be in there that offends me because not all italians are fat and cook hey when is the uh the attack to cancel them gonna start it's never gonna start you know why because people like the five dollar pizza pies that's right and you think italian's got a problem with it it's like first of all most italians i know are like that that's won't eat it that's not even pizza yeah we wouldn't eat that i mean you know that's an embarrassment they didn't even use the name caesar but you know what let him have it or whatever but it's like that's what i'm saying it's like if you look for something to be offended by chances are you're gonna find it in today's world you're gonna find it i'm not saying that people don't have the right to be offended by things because i would never say that i don't like telling people how to feel that's not my i'm right there with you i agree what i'm saying is i just i hear people telling me that this is like so offensive and people are angry about i'm like okay i hear you but the people who you say are offended like where they at like i want to talk to them i want to talk to them i don't want to hear from jeff passing like when did he become captain woke man like well that's what i said when did he become the righteous man of what is wrong and right he's on things lecturing a black man about how you talk about an asian guy then he's like he's like a guy to go to to be like oh well he has to teach us who is he who is jeff passing who is this guy a white a white cis male like apparently i don't get it listen to the if you listen to the groups that cancel everybody you are the devil jeff pastor you are a white cis male like i don't but it's like listen to be fair to be fair unfortunately the white liberal can get away with just about anything and they're the ones that are actually offended by it it's not it's not native it's not the majority of native americans i'm not saying you don't have a native american or two or a few that are probably like i i would i would like if they took it away but i guarantee you we are we are the braves new oh the braves a new team that haven't done this stuff i'm like this is all of a sudden new now because it's cool to do this and the left feels they have power over this stuff the woke mob they have power to do these type of things so okay i don't care if you're a liberal i don't care if you're great you could come on the show you could talk to me you could talk to us nobody's saying you know i i don't want you guys in here no that's cool being here i'm just sure me too i'm just saying what we're seeing here and some of you actually know because we actually dm politics back and forth and all that but i keep that stuff out but when it's when it's coming into baseball yeah we're gonna talk about it you know what i mean we're gonna we're gonna definitely talk about it then i've had plenty of people reach out to me a lot of former ball players reach out after the interview like i appreciate how realistic you are they went through some of the other videos and were like they like that you know we don't center on this little wokeness and analytics and all this and i'm not comparing analytics and wokeness to be one but i'm just saying that there's a lot of things that people have strong opinions about and they want to follow along in the trend we are trendsetters we're going to do our own thing simple as that there's a there is a point to be made about analytics and wokeness kind of walking hand in hand but i'm not i'm not going to put that beer i'm not going to poke that beer today i'm just saying like it's an interesting correlation another another show down the line we could definitely definitely talk about but we want to start off with an interesting comment from a former rival talking about our new york yankees david big poppy ortiz let me read it off to you now francis i'm letting you take over immediately on this one so let me read this for you guys here it is on the screen you guys can see it with me there's big poppy right there looking dapper i must say he says they don't need more players by the way this is on his concerns about the yankees lack of new chemistry they don't need more players they need new chemistry they got the talent but the chemistry comes from the talent if you have no chemistry you can have the best talent and you're not going to win so francis i turn it over to you then i will give you my two cents on that one on the man right there and and the words he said about chemistry in the new york yankees yes sir first things first shout out big papi man dominican legend so always shout out to big papi um i don't forgive you for any transgressions that you you know commit against my new york yankees but as long as it was against anyone else hey shouts out to you um i would want to start out by saying poppy's 100 spot on um this is not something that we haven't spoken about already ad nauseam we've spoken about this and we may have been we may have been one of very few people speaking about this and i try to listen to a lot of other guys stuff because i'm just a yankee fan and it was up to me i'll i'd spend 24 7 just consuming yankees content so i listened to a lot of you guys and i remember hearing you guys saying it as much as we were saying that there was clearly something wrong in this clubhouse like and this year it was obvious but we even said that this probably hasn't been just this year thing like it's been a while that there's just been something off with this clubhouse there's a lot of weird personalities there's a lot of weird like awkward you know things there's corniness there's like it's weird stuff going on and then a couple you know a week ago or whatever like we get this article um bob clatt you know b-clap comes out with the article and you know puts out the thing with gardner and cole and then you know judge arguing with the with the yes execs about the camera following him after a strikeout and you know there was this shot at joey gallo getting dressed and you know a bunch of times or whatever and it's like okay that comes out but it's like okay now everybody's like oh wow this was going on like look this is what it is just functional it's like first of all there's probably a million more things that have way more than that way more than that that's what phil nevin decided to discuss with b-clap that date yeah but he got a lot more in his pocket he got some people shivering right now i'm sure it was probably there was probably a million more things to happen probably way worse things that happened than that like and then what dave and it makes with david ortiz that's what makes it spot on like you can see that there's not the cam there's not chemistry on this team right david ortiz some people might say well who is david ortiz to talk about the egg let me tell you who david ortiz is talking about the iges david ortiz was a chemistry guy he was probably the chemistry guy for years on the boston red sox okay that 2013 championship i mean he was the chemistry he was everything like that was he's actually the perfect person to speak about chemistry he knows what it looks like that's why he praises the red sox of today and cora the job that he does today because he looks at that dugout of those guys and he sees the chemistry there yeah you don't see that in the yankees dugout covering the wild card game live and we were saying yo what's going on man like they looked dead after two winnings everything's dead everything's quiet boone is picking his nose it's like what's happening what's going on this was after after the was it the bogart's homer right we all said it was like damn it's like a funeral in the dugout yeah the bulldogs homer in the bottom of the first they came up to bat top of the second and went down like clockwork and we were looking and we're like look at the dugout they're dead they're dead yeah chemistry chemistry like when do you see like a guy up at the plate or whatever and everybody at the top step start let's go jersey let's go whatever we don't see that no we don't see that we just don't see that and then and then when when they're in the clubhouse the stories that we get are like the stories that we just got from bob klapus now there's more than that is what i'm saying that that goes to show you that there's just a disconnect there's just a disconnect when somebody like when somebody like gardner doesn't know whether or not to play a prank with somebody and he has he takes a chance playing a prank on somebody who then reacts in a way that's like you know whatever but like i mean my stan you guys saw my twitter so you know my stance on whatever like i feel like okay this was whatever but when [ __ ] like that is happening and somebody like gardner like does this move because he wasn't 100 sure like yeah is this not going to do it's that kind of that's how you know the vibe is just off in the clubhouse because somebody who's been there should know like i could joke with this guy i shouldn't really joke with that guy this guy depends on the day like you should know that right away but because there is no vibe really in the clubhouse and nobody really knows what the hell is going on well this is how [ __ ] like this happens it's actually like this out and it shows up on the field it just shows up on the field you uh currently brought it up in the in uh the interview you did where uh torres doesn't run out you know uh past uh a well i guess a wild pitch strike three or a pass yeah and willits instead of like interacting with him or saying the web just puts his head down walks back to the dugout it just goes to show you why because that's that that was the vibe it's like it's like they're on a it's like they're on a job that they're just waiting for the paycheck to come friday they get here that's it they clock in clock out bounce it's the new york yankee factory that's what our that's that's what the clubhouse is that's what this team is it's the new york yankees factory and it's like these did it's not players it's factory workers everybody's working like an assembly line and it's like here whatever you know what i'm here to do i'm gonna do my job and you know you're gonna praise me or i'm not gonna do my job and like you're not gonna praise me but oh did they just tie it so lara went deep i didn't know i didn't see it i think swanson just went deep tie game yeah yeah dansby swanson home and fly by the right oh and now solaire just homered back to back oh shh back i went to the game the other night it was phenomenal you know you know you know if they win trump's taking credit for the w you know you know he should no let me stop that he's gonna go he's gonna go i went to the game the game was great one of the best games you ever seen they won because trump was there and there'll be heads exploding around the world you know thinking that the guy's not allowed to joke around or whatever but anyway look at this back-to-back home runs for america's team right now the atlanta braves up 3-2 six outs away from being three to one uh let me get let's get back to obviously where we were listen i was just my point was that look the the yankees have lost their swagger and this is something that goes back to siminetti source videos from probably last season right i remember a specific video where you were talking about the yankees not having a swagger to them right yep 100 yeah and that has carried that carried well into this year and it's the same thing but here's the thing you want to know whether you want you guys want to know where the swagger is swagger comes from swagger comes from having that chemistry that the yankees don't have like swagger is something that like you you admit it naturally when you're in a place that you're comfortable and you're like and you're like yo i feel good i could be myself i could bat flip i could do this i could do that but the yankees it's been awkward i mean you guys remember yeah judge walking down the the the hallway at fenway park with the new york new york on the speaker like a lot of you saw that we're like yeah i remember like i saw that and i was like i was kind of cringing because i was like after two games it's got balls man that's that's a risk i was like i don't know i think i think you i think you tweeted something similar to that like i did i did i didn't like it like the judge playing the music right so we've been on the same wavelength with this for a very long time that the yankees it's not that they don't have you know it's not that they don't try to have swagger they try but they fail it's awkward it's cringy it's crazy you know goes back to what david ortiz is saying yeah history these guys don't play well off each other like and i don't want to say everybody because i do want to give credit to some people like i think judge and john carlo have a really good thing going yeah yeah i think rizzo works very well for them 100 right apparently apparently the rumor is him and judge actually got very very close during the year so so they're saying that's the rumor right now that they're actually very they got very very close um and you could actually see it that's like with chemistry right you can actually see that him giancarlo and judd they would actually gather around with each other talk you could see them doing it they were you know active and and getting kind of crazy in the in the dugout but here's the thing about chemistry so let me um let me let me talk about chemistry real quick here and and how it happens right and i'm not in a dugout but i've asked these questions to a lot of people it starts with the manager it starts with the manager it really does chemistry starts with a magic because france like you said one thing right you said you know um guys don't know if you're supposed to maybe joke around with this guy or is this the best time to do it is the manager needs to judge those moments the manager needs to be involved in certain things like that they got to read their players well they got to know who's who they got to know what personalities like like they say right they got aaron boone because they feel like he'll just be one of the boys how does that work for chemistry how does that work for chemistry can you really go to one of your friends and be like hey that is no no that's not happening on my club you should know that take a seat i think that's the problem and i always reference it to um managing a a regular job a regular store if you're going out partying with your team every friday and saturday night let's just say one of the days all the time then your boss comes in is like you know none of you guys are doing nothing what's going on ah you know we'll be all right comes back two weeks late nothing has changed what's up these dudes performances in the trash can what are you doing i talk to them they'll be okay at some point you're gonna have to hold the manager in charge accountable for not doing his job because at the end of the day i think boone is not comfortable going after some of these players and i hope that god that changes kevin kernan said that that you know maybe now he'll see that i gotta be better i gotta hold these guys accountable a little more i can't be so relaxed with them they're allowed to do whatever they want maybe i maybe i do have to bench them or sit them down or really pull them aside and talk to them um things like that need to happen um but just when it comes to chemistry i mean it obviously yes it has a lot to do with town and we hear that you know we hear things like about brett gardner that he is a he's a prankster cece sabathia talked about in the past that he it's all about living things up i heard cece say that recently he's a good good guy in a clubhouse because he does that he's the guy that kind of gets guys pumped up he's the one they can go talk to so you know when you hear about things like this and you're like okay that's a little bit of story we don't know the full thing of what happened here we don't know what the mood in the clubhouse was because i've read that whole thing top to bottom i read it live and all that stuff on the thing and the way clappage does it he was trying to paint coal as the bad guy in the situation because when i read it i'm like yeah he's he's trying to paint him because he even goes he didn't say that gardner walked right up the coal he said he was parading around the clubhouse when cole got in his face he was like in front of all of his teams okay well he's in a clubhouse so i'm assuming the teammates are going to see was it there yeah and what did he do you know what was cole's reaction did cold jump over something and grab him by the shirt hey enough knock it off or did he just go brett knock it off like what are you doing yeah was it that what what was the reaction like was it in your face what was it exactly but even even with that being said it goes to the organization and and we gotta talk about this because you know everybody knows about the joey gallow the ticks and all that the weird the face he makes and something he's not able to control too easily but then you find out that he's one of these guys too that they lays his clothes out he puts one sock on at a time he puts his pants on he doesn't like the way he fits he takes everything off and does it again there's some people that are like that in life that's reality of life now here's my thing what are the yankees doing that maybe advanced scouting could have told them that hey look there are some quirks to this guy just a heads up because again before any of i'm not i'm not knocking the new age guys but maybe some of you don't know this this happens this is this is also a part of scout's jobs they actually get to learn about a player especially a player teams targeting they learn that background they learn who they are as a person they learn more than just what they do want to feel what numbers tell you they learn a little more so my question becomes were the yankees totally aware that maybe this is not the greatest fit for the person is there a reason why joey gala was like you know what yeah keep me on a team that's gonna lose for probably the next couple of years i'll stay here anybody ever does anybody just sit back and ask these questions and not just hype a guy up because he plays for the yankees i like joey gallo i'm willing to give him a year i don't think they look at i don't think they were they're they're honestly looking at these things um like chemistry and fit like that and i think you know current was 100 right with the points he made um and i've seen a couple people make a similar point like yeah like you know i don't know if they did a background check you know before they made this deal because i mean it would have been pretty easy to know like hey you know this guy's coming in with this or that um and i i worry like with a guy like gallo not so much a lot of the performance whatever because i think we know i think we we knew what gala was before he got here i think we reported on it when there were just rumors like oh yeah he said listen gallo is the three true outcomes guy right the uh walk strikeout home run right we said that that's who he is um so we knew we we at least us here at nyu we knew can i also just say this too we also all agree that he can't be the only move yeah i think and we said that wait yeah earlier we'd like we all said that yeah we said we said i said i wasn't one of those people like no don't get him then i was like go ahead get him but he can't be the only move yeah and he wasn't but what what i think with him is like what i what i worry is this that yeah i mean a guy like that obviously he he should have uh he should have support around him he should have people that he feels comfortable with whatever and i mean i mean yes odor was on the team but like odor wasn't even playing by the time gallow gets here so it's like is gallo out there with guys he feels comfortable with is he is he able to like talk to guys does he have a place that he can go like whatever like just decompress and like be himself or whatever like is he vibing with the clubhouse vibe like is he good with like i don't know i don't know i don't know what has to happen but david ortiz is 100 right when he says that it's not necessarily that they need new players because they need to bring in new talent and i think that's and i think i don't want people to misconstrue the quote because i don't understand this quote as david ortiz saying oh the yankees don't need to get new players i don't think that's what he's saying at all no i don't think so either they do need to get new players but it's not because they don't have enough talent yes they get new players because they need to bring talent in they need chemistry because they need to bring chemistry in yes that's right they didn't have enough talent and when he says that i agree i look at the team that they had not starting 2021 but at the end of 2021 say dj doesn't get injured right yeah and we've got dj going we've got gallo going we've got rizzo going we got judge we got stanton we got rochella in there uh glaber's in there unfortunately sanchez is in there uh and gardner's in there right i look at that and then i look at you know like the other teams here i mean look i mean look at look at look at the braves look at houston these guys get a lot more contact hits and timely hits than the yankees did at all all season well like in terms of like talent-wise or whatever it's like i mean there's there's situations where like you could argue that it almost evens out because of the amount of talent in one player like aaron judge stanton rizzo like there's a lot of freaking talent concentrated in those guys so it kind of now um with lineups like atlanta with lineups like houston it's spread across a little bit better and does have you know two huge stumpers in freaking altuve and correa uh bregman has kind of fallen off the brace could stay the same with a cuny and freeman but akunya's been down all year and look it's freeman freeman has hadley austin reilly really yeah but i feel like with atlanta it's been by committee right it's been by committee they figure it out they added smart pieces they had a good pieces too like a lot of people look people thought they were out right they were saying well atlanta's gone they're done so let's move on and they were like nah we're gonna add a few pieces see what we can do and they added some great ones look at rosario look at them look at jack peterson i mean come on i mean they've added a great amount of talent and and they knew the east was up in the air and there they could potentially what are they six outs away from being 3-1 up in a world series they could potentially win the world series this year it's an amazing accomplishment it would be it would be a huge accomplishment and i think what's important to notice is like yes when i say they do it by committee i think the most important thing to doing that is is the chemistry it is the chem yeah it is what i think david ortiz talks about when he says like this team is not lacking in talent the yankees are they've they've been for a couple years putting out you know talented teams on the field the team hasn't been playing to their talent and i think one of the culprits there you know aside from management because management is part of it and leadership is a huge part of it is chemistry though and i think it's something that yeah i agree with i don't think the yankees have had good chemistry in a long time yeah okay it goes to show you that you know having a spring training and man i every time i talk about this i was like man kernan really did drop some knowledge because i keep wanting to go back to what he said but um he had a country club the country club aspect doesn't always work and it doesn't always lead to chemistry he said something really important there that like i want people to understand he said and i know the yankee he's like i'm not saying that the yankees are the only ones doing right okay right he's right i want you guys to understand that i'm not saying that the yank when i say that i agree that it's true that the yankees run their spring training like a country club i'm not saying that as if they're the only ones who do it but here's my thing okay if the dodgers want to run their spring training in 2021 and in 2022 like a country club guess why i don't give a damn one i'm not a fan of the dodgers two they just want to ring in 2020. yep they just won yeah they've been winning their division like perennially for years okay if they want to start slowing work up to it hey that's their prerogative okay tampa bay was just in the world series last year you know i'm saying they were a playoff team again this year they won the division again this year okay like if they wanted to run it like a country club which i don't think they do but say that they did okay like you you got some recent i get it but for the new york yankees to be running their spring training like a country club like what what's their excuse what have we won we haven't won a damn thing nothing that championship ring is is more dusty than the freaking manager i don't know like what are we doing yeah like you shouldn't be running our spring training like a country club i don't care how many teams are doing it i don't care how many other teams are doing it my thing is the yankees should the yankees be doing that no not with where they are like you said you're right you're right not not with not with where they are right now what they're trying to accomplish that's the biggest problem here is that they're trying to accomplish winning but they're not changing any of the mindset the mentality none of that stuff to actually win and i like you're right you you made a good point on when you're talking about what ortiz said it's he's right he's not necessarily saying you got to get you know new players and you got to get chemistry you got to get new guys that bring a chemistry and a balance to this club and i think a lot of that has to do with leadership i'll continue to stay on that a lot of that and that not just aaron boone not just aaron boone a lot of that has to do with leadership in a clubhouse we don't know who that guy is we don't know who that guy we don't there's a lot of mystery in the yankee clubhouse that we've been asking all year we've been asking about it all yet the most chemistry we saw was at the end because it was anthony rizzo that's the most chemistry we saw and it was anthony rizzo we got we actually got evidence of that we got video seeing what he done we know he helped joey gallo out there's a lot of different things that brought him aaron judge now apparently has talked high about him and how well they actually um gel together so there there's a lot of this there's evidence there that a guy like that a guy like rizzo really helped out in the chemistry and he was a new face so he was a new face that came over and did that they just got to add they got to add more guys and what i hope they do is that they're able to use that scouting more because everything can't be based off numbers and folks this organization is doing everything based off numbers there is not no hiding about this no more this is fact this is just fact this team is doing everything by what the analytical nerds are telling them to do it's it's that's all there is to it brian cashman is a do all end-all he gets what he wants he's being told by people these are the moves to make he's seeing the body of work and the evidence of it and boom let's do it he's not he's not sitting back right now right and saying hey um let's just throw an example out there um uh jack peterson is actually known as a really good clubhouse guy he's a really really good clubhouse guy yeah but i think uh sterling marte is better for us that's what it would be they'll hand him a paper and go oh no brian look at this and look at it the body work okay and i'm not saying i'm not i'm not comparing the players guys so oh pete but he is not comparing that i'm just saying advanced scouts no people they know the player they know a lot more that there's a lot more to the story than what numbers tell you i know a lot of analytical people don't believe that but shocking to know people are people you know they're not me and francis is a number i'm not a number people are people if i was based off of uh what subscribers what based off how many people view us that's all worth that's not true that's not how it works not how life works in general you know what i mean they say you're as good you know you're only as good as your last whatever paycheck whatever it is what yeah amount of money you bring whatever it is uh year you had people are people and we got to get back to that humanness of the game that there are guys that maybe you take over somebody else that's a little more talented because they bring other things to the table they bring other things a question like i said like i told you guys when we were going back and forth on brett gardner the only reason gardner's still here is because he does something in the clubhouse they like that's obvious he's not here because he get hit he's not getting these deals because man he's just some amazing fourth outfielder now he's probably the fifth outfield if you really think about it maybe even further back than that if you really want to go into it you know he's not there because of playing a building he's there for leadership and that's the reason he's there because again they know that but they get a first-hand experience of that so my even with me with that whole thing it's like i don't like that i mean some people took it to the point of saying like oh you know gardner's a clubhouse cancer and that's why he's no come on no okay how's cancer that's clubhouse cancer is a little wild yeah you could be upset about the situation the incident i thought i thought i was i was like in this situation you know gardner's a [ __ ] in this situation or i was like i think i think he was a dick in that situation okay like i'm like garner's a dick like i saw that i was like like my stance was oh garner's a dick or i might not like that that was a [ __ ] move that was a [ __ ] clubhouse cancer though i don't know talking about in this one situation i think that was a dick move or a little bit of a [ __ ] move but for the grand scope of things i don't think i could call them a clubhouse cancer i don't know if the [ __ ] have had a clubhouse cancer did i remember you know like do people know what a clubhouse cancer actually is like well a lot of people felt like randy johnson was but even kearney's at kerner said he was actually really liked in the clubhouse yeah i mean but he wasn't he wasn't like some bad dude yeah clubhouse cancer they're not even here like randy johnson wasn't even here long enough to be a clubhouse cancer no you got to be here you got to be and you got to be a real [ __ ] to be a clubhouse kelly you got to be known as an [ __ ] and i don't think the yankees would keep somebody around like that like a lot of people even point to like when a-rod and judo was around that was never really an issue like the media wanted it to be an issue because it's a great story but it was never really anything that was bad like i said back in oh five i think it was they used to call a-rod [ __ ] tits he thought it was a joke yeah so he never got mad about it because he's like oh yeah that's whatever funny yeah so you know he thought it was a joke my thing about the cole situation was i don't necessarily again i go back to what i said we don't have enough evidence of what the actual situation was we weren't there wasn't enough evidence i read the story countless times i read it from top to bottom like i can't put a blame necessarily on somebody the one thing i will say is i want to see who gary cole is i don't know that person yet and i'm being honest maybe that's just my opinion but i told you before it is this year i'm going to get hard on cole cole needs to prove something because guys look we gotta also be realistic here yes he pitched pretty good after the spider attack but we don't know where his confidence sunk to we don't know the person what happened we don't know none of that we don't know that he didn't get so mad at guard or whatever i'm not even gonna say so mad because all he said was he got in his face i don't know what that looks like i don't know what his personality was and i don't know any of that and like i said i don't know i could make assumptions of what you know might have been in his mind maybe guilt i said about maybe guilt was part of it maybe he knows what he did maybe he knows he was better with spider attack people never and that's not saying nothing bad about him that's why i didn't like the that's why i said like in that situation like i think he's a dick move on gardeners probably because i'm like like cole knows what the [ __ ] he did like he's probably already like yeah man like i [ __ ] up now i'm [ __ ] struggling because i'm using this [ __ ] and i can't use this [ __ ] now so like yeah like i'm like i'm like if i'm on the outside looking in there i'm like even if he looks like he's doing good i'm not gonna make the joke why because i'm like listen it's pretty obvious this guy was using this [ __ ] now he's struggling and i don't know like i would imagine that he's not in the best head space right now because yeah that's just not fun when you go from being dominant as he was it's as shitty as he was because so that's what that was my whole i don't think i don't think like his intent was like now i'mma purposely mess with him no definitely not definitely i mean it was a thing like that no cole reacting the way that he reacted is something that's like yeah like no matter what could have been going on in that moment like if he reacted like in a way that shocked gardner it just goes to show like there's not really a vibe in that clubhouse where it's like you know what because i think if cole is in a place where he felt protected and supported or whatever that joke hits a lot different they agree i actually agree with that i agree with that joke that it's a joke but because he got so apprehensive and i said it in our group you're like i feel like it's common knowledge that cole's awkward or whatever at least it's been that i hope that's not let me let me just say this on that i hope that's not the case because the last thing you want is somebody and you could call you could say i'm wrong on this but awkwardness and not wanting to be joked with in new york you could consider that mentally weak because it's a tough place to be that person in especially when the yankees haven't lost one and on top of that when you accept that contract you're immediately a target people the media is waiting for you to fail they want to see it because they got a story so my whole thing on that like i i think um i asked current about like his personality and so that's when he brought up the guy in oakland that was his mentor and he and this brings up this kind of full circle right is there somebody in that clubhouse that can sit down and talk with him does he have that or is he just a man and that's not fair and i don't think so because i don't think he's like that matt blake has done a phenomenal job or whatever but matt blake is not going to be a mentor to gary cole right this is cece's about the is an advisor but like he's not traveling with the team he's not there we need like remember did you see the way that cece spoke about mike harkey the broken coat yes he had that relationship with hart yep i don't think paul has a relationship with hark i think i think cole needs someone like you know what i mean like obviously and this is not a shot to mike harkey i think mike harkey's you know probably doing a decent job at what he's doing i mean he's been here for quite a while now and he's got votes of confidence from a lot of the guys in the team right i don't like if he's not gonna if he's not that guy for coal i wouldn't be surprised like i don't like i feel like when i when cece said it it made so much sense why him and cc related like just about just him them talking about like the him talking about the backgrounds that they come from and things like that but i was like okay i get it but like who's that guy for garrett well i think that guy for garrett is currently sitting in the booth potentially potentially yeah it's it's cone what are you talking about yeah potentially he potentially could be yeah one of the things michael k was actually pretty early on was like you know saying like he's like listen i know for a fact you david and garrett would have a phenomenal conversation about pitching i remember that yep philosophy and everything he's like i would love to just be a fly on the wall listen to you guys talk you know shop and whatever and you know what i think he's right i listened to david cohn talk during the games and i'm just like you know some people some of you guys probably watch the game you're like it's good i like it but after a while like it gets to be a little too much for me whatever like i think cole would eat that [ __ ] up no definitely he would and like they said he's a um like kernan said you know kernan spoke to him multiple times and all that he actually asked people about his time in houston and he said flat out he's a very he's a student of the game he lo he really does he loves pitching and he wants to know how he gets better and all that i'm not knocking i'm not knocking matt blake here there's only so much a guy matt blake could do for garrett cole that should be real so like even kernan talked about this nicole though he said you know there's there's the best pitching coaches are mechanics and what he means about it you know you go you go drop your car off you get it fixed they don't say add maybe you gotta change the seats the colors of the seats that's kind of what the analytic side does and that's not knocking it it works sometimes it works blake's more of a guy that'll go to the mound and again i got information on this that this is accurate he's a sequence guy he's big in the sequences and we've seen this before guys then all of a sudden they drop a change up into the star and they're ready to go and a lot of pitch coach does that but they said he's very much a sequence guy you're doing this too much let me get you both on track this is the pitch that does wealth this is the one that this right hand it doesn't hit good against this is where you got to go there's certain guys the pitching coach that are mechanics like he brought up brett strom who's great at this he'll tell a guy no look i watched the video you got to get back more on the rubber you got to move more to the left on the rub what it's going to do is going to create this angle that angle blah blah blah blah and he fix his guy he could fix guys in a moment like that boom again no knock on matt blake who's pitching staff did terrific so i give him all the credit in the world okay what all all we're saying here is that maybe somebody else who has been there who has done that who has pitched in new york who knows what it's like when you struggle can sit back and have a conversation with cole somebody could really bounce these ideas off of and go hey garrett i get it you know i get it i i've been uh you don't even got to say that because i know you've been there i respect what you're saying because you've done it you're not talking [ __ ] you've been there and done that garrett needs that he had that he had that with the astros until his mentor passed away and then it was like all right now i'm kind of out here on his own and that's the same thing that if you remember on on the interview that kernan said about a guy robbie ray the pitching coach in toronto i forget his name right now but he's one of the best in baseball and he fixed robbie ray does robbie ray want to take that risk and leave that relationship and go to a place where maybe it's not the same thing maybe he doesn't have that mechanic maybe he doesn't have that guy that comes out the man goes robbie look you're my cat you're you're [ __ ] up again that's the wrong thing that's not how i told you back on the left side of the rubber yeah maybe he doesn't have he needs that maybe cole needs that i'm not saying again not saying there's anything wrong with the way cold pitchers are as mechanics but sometimes it helps clear your mind and ease your mind when you can talk to somebody who's been there and done that i think cole does cole does need somebody to talk to i don't think cole had a you know phenomenal relationship with catchers i mean i know he liked higgy but i think the thing with higgy is more like you're just not gary sanchez like you know what i mean like potentially yeah but i just think like the the love affair between him and hickey is not so much about hickey it's just like yeah like anybody but gary and that's another area where we don't have a manager and that's bad chemistry yeah no you guys have heard me say this because i know some people about people you said that he picks what he wants no no no no i've always said because the manager ain't gonna do [ __ ] about it i've always said it i said so it's gonna be cole's decision even kernin said they should be in a room together he should shut the door and say work this [ __ ] out work it out and that's it work it out no i mean i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you right now though it's interesting in that situation in the beginning the whole personal capture thing i was like yeah i don't know that's kind of like cringy like i've never really been a big fan of like the personal catcher thing um but when your starting catcher is gary sanchez i mean i i guess i got to sympathize with it and maybe i i'm biased because when i did play baseball like yeah i was a pitcher and so i feel like yeah man like i don't know how how much i want to like you know really be working with a catcher who i feel like isn't the best for my stuff and i don't feel confident throwing the ball to him and it's like like if i go out there and i screw up a game i want it to be because i ain't have my best stuff today and i agree i i i agree with i agree what you're saying my my whole thing is did that conversation ever even happen because if you remember randy johnson randy johnson threw to passata it wasn't only one or two games he threw him a lot and then he was like flaherty i work better with i'm going with john i'm gonna work with john so i'm just saying it was kind of it was pretty damn quick with cole if i remember pretty well it wasn't it wasn't too many starts so i'm like were there ever amending was there ever a hey what's the issue with him hey gary here's what he thinks can we work this out i don't know we don't know if that ever happened you're just spot on with that this happened relatively early in cole's tenure with the yankees that's for sure um but again like i said i'm like these these are things that yeah if you if we're honest these things go back to chemistry and things like that because when you have chemistry with a guy of course this you're going to be willing to overlook certain things like i had a friend i had a friend who caught me um for winter the winter ball leagues when we were in between our high school season and um listen his name was kevin he was definitely not the best defensive catcher out there but i loved kevin why because he was he was funny and like he kept me calm on the mount like he kept me calm he was not very good defensive he was he was overweight he didn't really move well like and i knew that when i was throwing to him if i was gonna throw a curveball in the dirt it had to kind of be middle dirt because like i know it would bounce into him but if i was like on one side or the other it might get around them and if i got somebody on it's probably not gonna work and i knew this but i still like throwing to him why because like i said he was funny and he kept me calm and like he would do like quirky [ __ ] or whatever like if i was he would like and i'd be like oh look at this clown or whatever like that so i was willing to overlook some of the physical you know flaws because of the chemistry that we had but when there is no chemistry there to begin with you're not going to overlook matter yeah and that's i think i think i think that's the bigger point that needs to be made like did gary cole and gary sanchez like even really try to make that relationship work or was it just a thing where it's like no i think i'm gonna go with the backup guy and guy who was like hey i don't care yeah whatever and the other thing is too you know how much fighting was there for that job you know did is gary i know he's not comfortable sitting down in a wild card game or a game one but we've seen that that argument has been made and i keep saying it's gonna be up to coal it's just gonna be up the coal because there's nobody there trying to mend that but that's and again man i mean i hate tooting our own horn here but i've been right about boone for a while now for a long time i've been writing about but right about the clubhouse i've been writing about the chemistry in the field another great thing that that kernin brought up was the yankees don't do field and stuff a lot they don't they don't do it they're not out early he'd been a great place that ron washington would be out there seven in the morning he said a-rod jeter they'd be there at seven and he said they don't they weren't just starting their work has been in they said abraham a third of a third of the work a workout would be done by and he said jeter would have his routine he wouldn't go as hard as a-rod but he would have his routine in place and he wouldn't miss it like he said you know there was ron washington's one of the guys that they'll be out there doing fielding practice at seven in the morning you'll always see it you'll always hear it and even the other day that's why i retweeted i was like oh [ __ ] look current's point ron washington was out there it was pouring rain he's doing field in practice with the guys right on the side where it's not covered so i'm like i'm like the yankees don't do that and kern is like well no it's actually not common you know they don't they they haven't been a team that's been like we're gonna focus on this stuff and it shows in the season look at look at the braves right here's the in the the interesting thing about this is that you look at the braves and like defensively they're pretty freaking sound swanson's got a great glove at shortstop albie's is a really good second baseman and freddie freeman is a gold glove you know type first baseman like right right you know i mean these guys do they if they wanted to say like i don't really have to be out here doing these fielding drills or whatever they could probably they could probably get away with it if they wanted to yeah but the reason that they're as good as they are is because they're out there doing that that's right that's what they're out there doing and that to me is like how do the yankees see a team as defensively sound as the braves doing that every day and still think that the train wreck that we put out there defensively doesn't have to do it that's that to me is where the change of mentality needs to happen and it needs to happen fast because we need to have guys going out there doing infield drills it can't just be that they're doing in-field drills after they have a game with an excessive amount of errors no you should be doing that all the time you have to make winning habits you can't make you don't make a habit of know if we have a really bad game in one aspect then we'll work on it the next day no work on that [ __ ] all the time that's right work on one thing and moving runners over work on base money work on defense work on all that [ __ ] all the time it was the last game of the season the last game of the season and tampa bay was doing infield drills before the game at yankee stadium yep to me that was embarrassing as a yankee fan i think that's cersei it is embarrassing i'm gonna reiterate it the last game of the season the team that clinched the division eons ago and is playing today for absolutely nothing because they don't care like this means really nothing to them um yeah they'd like to beat us just because they enjoy beating the [ __ ] out of us but really means nothing to them in the grand scheme of like where their where their next steps are going as a team they're the ones who are out there doing fielding practice yeah while the team who needs this game to ensure their spot in a wild card game is in the dugout doing god knows what yeah it shows you a lot that's why i guess that's why i think all year i really got upset where a lot of yankee fans would argue back on the stuff with boone oh it's not as full as not hold on analytics team art isn't i don't think chiming in on the fielding practice these guys are doing i don't think they're saying guys the numbers show they don't need to do field i don't know i'm pretty sure that stuff's up to the manager to go out there and do get extra working and things like that and i mean maybe you know there's a lot of there's still a lot of change in these to happen and and you know we'll see how it goes yeah i mean the thing too with with the whole like being the player's guy and everything like that is one thing is like yeah i get it but it's isn't it easy to be the player's guy if you're not really pushing him yeah of course well that's what i'm talking about how do you be their boss their manager if you're best friends with them yeah how do you tell them what to do if you're so goody goody i'm i'm part of the team type of guy you can't do that there got to be a separation there got to be an understanding that i'm the manager i want a good relationship but when you don't play you don't play the way i expect you better believe i'm going to be on your ass yankees didn't have that and we better hope that boone learned his lesson because a lot of people are telling me maybe he will so i'll hold off and i'll wait on that and maybe he will but we'll see what happens right we'll see what happens but speaking of managers san diego got a new manager yes sir and it couldn't lead big old bobby melvin well she could have been a measure to yankees but bobby melvin is uh moving on to san diego and right now the rumor is that the oakland a's roster may open up to some more salary slashing yeah they got some ball plays over there no it's uh it's that's a that's an interesting situation i think the first thing to to say what i think and i said in our chat was i didn't realize you know melvin was even available where was the reporting on this but what happened what happened was uh he wasn't necessarily available but they did say like hey if you want if you want to go and you know interview for this padres job you will let you go yep and he went interviewed and the project wanted him and oakland let him go so it's not necessarily he was available but oakland let him go to go to the padres so that was interesting and i think what the what makes it so interesting is that i mean a team who is planning to contend next season doesn't get rid of a manager who was really good with them you know i mean bob melvin is not was not a part of i'm gonna i'm gonna use a cashmanism but it's actually gonna be true when i say it here uh bob melvin wasn't a part of the problem with oakland he was actually a part of the solution with oakland so them allowing him to go take the gig with the padres just to me is a sign that they're probably not uh they're probably planning on not contending for another year or two and they figured hey man this guy's done right by us the best the good the best thing we could do is do right by him and let him know hey look you know if you want to go on some different opportunity have a chance to win uh go ahead and take it because we're going to be going in a different direction the next year or two class act two class act by him because he was on the contract so class act by the by the oakland organization stand-up organization though no definitely i mean yes i know i know uh if you're an oakland fan you're probably not going to agree stand-up organization because you kind of want your team to go for it and i i i agree with you i think i think what i was saying a couple episodes ago when the whole olson stuff started i was like look i i'd love it but i was like the reason that i don't see it is because i was like oakland doesn't necessarily have to trade him i mean they were really in it all year this year and they fell out of contention in the last week like they could run it back i mean they got chris bassett back at the end of the year like yeah i was like running back let's see but i i i guess they don't see running it back in in 2022 i think they think it's prudent to try and move guys now when their value is at its peak and see if they can't make a run maybe three years from now four years from now well the you know the the main thing too that you gotta you gotta think about also is that every team lost money in the co over the year so you know that's one thing too and then you know for them right now they're probably like hey for us to compete we know it as holes we probably got to add a little bit more maybe there's a few guys we can add and they're probably sitting back thinking you know we only got two years left with our best guys and some guys only one year left yeah at this point is it best to maybe trade one or two of these guys with the multiple years left get the most we can out of them now save that money maybe move some other salary around and we start that process already it's kind of ugly because they gave them a great pitching prospect for marte but they went for it you know so i i don't really shut them out for that i want to give them a really good picture process for marte but it is what it is but um you know you look at it as the team and we were doing this before we went live but i pulled up a lot of their roster here you know they got elvis andrus of course who's making the most on the team 14.25 million he's gonna be a free agent um in 2023 so we got the one year left i could see them trying to move that if a team needs a short stop maybe putting some money out there but a lot of it's some of the top guys you know andrew schaefen is one jake diekmann uh matt chapman we talked about sean manaya we talked about matt olson chris bassett chris bassett's going to be a free agent next year's last year so olson has a couple of more years um chapman got a couple more years manaya last year's next year is last year next year's last year so i think they'll move a lot of guys now i know people kind of relate this back to the yankees who could be of interest a lot of them could be i mean chapman could be mania could be olson could be bassett could be all four of those guys fit the yankees i'll tell you right now um i know olson is the is the sexy move right that everybody's like really in um i think chapman is probably just uh just as sexy a move um i didn't want to say just as sexy because i know one of these guys a list of hot player thing oh god yeah we're talking about here with that uh shout out to him though and whoever you know likes that kind of thing but um i think chapman is a move that's just as interesting and i'll tell you why um we brought up i think just last episode the possibility of you know moving on from geo and and us being okay with it because you know geo struggled with being available right and i think we're not getting while we while geo does provide you know decent production at the third base spot the fact is he's not there as often as we'd like him to be and even when he is there he's not really thumping the way you're expecting to get the thumb out of the hot corner that's right so if you upgrade that to a matt chapman and then maybe instead of trading for olson you just resign rizzo and you're going to the year with rizzo man in first and chapman at third well that's pretty freaking good and you had to stop to that again gladores is to me a non-factor at that point when that's what your corners in the infield look like and your shortstop is getting upgraded too and yeah it's a lot but again it's not just that right you said there's a couple of guys they got pitching that the yankees could look at if they're you know actually really considering making you know serious changes i would love to add two starting pictures i think we talked about that we were joking about it right like man what if they did robbie ray minaj or robbie ray and bassett i'd do it i'd do it i would do it because look i and this is the thing about yankee van guys you can't compare what happened last year what's gonna happen next year because i hear people talk about well the pitcher was fine they're okay in 2021 the pitching was fine yeah you can't sit back and go the same guys are gonna do the same thing you can't do that you can't do that championship teams rarely if ever stand pack and rest on their laurels definitely championship teams and i was actually supposed to make this video but no definitely i'll i'll get to this uh to this video probably the next day or so i'm talking about how important this off season is and we talked about we see a lot of people talking about what their infield would look like and and we'll chat about that too but um you know this this offseason i keep bringing it up because i i really believe this i think this is a crossroads off season i really do i think this offseason is so overly important and it needs to have a spotlight on it and when moves aren't made it needs to be talked about telling you guys it needs to be talked about big time everybody's focused so much on who the big shortstop is we're gonna get who's the shortstop what are we doing here what about all the other moves that this team really doesn't need to make i mean and there's so many options i saw somebody today talk about um maybe they get a lesser shortstop but they upgrade pitching a lot okay okay maybe they add some role players that can really make a big difference maybe they make a trade that we don't expect you know maybe they do all that and you know somebody said somebody message me to say pete you should do a video about dj lemayo and it's just conundrum right now on the team where he fits in i said that could be a good idea but i mean i sit back and i think about it too and i'm like unfortunately the yankees got a tough call because let's be real here dj lemay is the best second baseman the team has yeah that's just fact and you could sit there and be like well gleber's younger he could be better he's cheaper i don't give a [ __ ] about that when it comes to the yankees i don't care about that he's not a better defensive second baseman and if you want to be the person that goes well dj lemay is failing and he's not good no more i'll give you the chance to be that guy but if diesel may come back next year and his 280 285 293 305 310 nobody's gonna be shocked everybody says oh you look at you they're gonna do the same [ __ ] as before so my whole thing is as cashman has hard decisions to make because you really got to decide who is best to move forward with if your team next year is a new and we talked about this already but it's a new shortstop same catch behind the plate hicks back in center field and all of a sudden maybe dj lemay who's your first baseman maybe he's your third baseman you're still not putting the best product on the field that's just facts he should be a second bit but i and i agree i agree with you 100 and i think my issue my issue here is is uh very simple like um i think kernan you know again bringing him up a lot because it was a great interview and he's spot on when he says cashman's ego has precluded us from making a lot of the deals that we've had to make and a lot of the moves that we've had to make for a long time that's right and you know it sucks i get it you know to i can't imagine you know being catherine and having to wear those shoes and get up there in front of millions of people and say like yeah you know i dropped the ball with this guy or you like or not even say it you know physically but make a move that kind of says like yeah you know i made a mistake here but um but you got to do that right and that's i think that's that's how you win championships that's how you do things one of the things that i liked about george the boss is that he made changes constantly and i think people think like oh no he but he never admitted he was wrong he would just put if he may if he brought a guy in and made a change a year two years in that's him admitting that it was wrong you're fired okay let me get another guy like that's that's how that kind of works and that's that's my only thing so i feel like with glaber we're at the situation where it's like yeah he's young yes yes there is potential there yes yes there's a lot of controllability left yes yes he's not making money yes but for me all of that is why i trade him right now while that still is a guarantee because what's not a guarantee is that he's going to get better next season just because we have him at second base what's not a guarantee is that he's ever going to hit the way he was hitting a couple years ago right not a guarantee that he does that as a yankee if you trade him somewhere else i would personally go out on a limb and say i think he's going to have a couple of really good freaking seasons yeah it wouldn't shock me at all if he's an all-star again i wouldn't be shocked i want to be shocked if he's and i'll start with the yankees yeah but my whole thing is doesn't make sense that's what i'm talking about right is that your sign how many more years five yeah yeah what are we gonna do what are we gonna do with them so i mean i go i get back to people saying before maybe cash shouldn't have made that no he should have made that that was the right call yeah because you're the yankees yeah so you got that luxury of saying if i sign a guy and they don't pan out okay at least you know we got money still we can still you can make as the yankees gm you are allowed those errors my beef with cashman is when you go out there and you give aaron hicks seven years when you usually do stuff like that like i talked about current a legitimate prospect who you want to hold on to for years to come yeah you you buy out the arbitration years you know arbitration gets expensive now you try to save money by buying out those ears and taking that risk on that guy long term aaron hicks is not a guy who takes a long time he did this with aaron hicks because he said oh man i traded for this guy look how good he is the analytics guys love the same he's excellent great i'm going to lock him up long term this was a steal and it wasn't this is a guy who can't stay on the field it was a steal all right aaron hicks stole from us yeah definitely and and i don't blame him i mean good good job aaron hicks good job you did a good job you made some money i think this is uh to kind of put a button on um the oakland stuff there's a lot of deals to be made there but um it boils down to what we've been saying the last couple of weeks will cashman and his team look to make those deals will they part with the necessary prospect capital that it will take to land one of the big names like uh chapman or olsen or manaya or about it like will will they you know will are they going to actually consider it or are they going to say you know no no we have to hold on to you know uh dominguez and and and volpe and peraza and don't get me wrong i agree a thousand percent of vulpit to me everybody else though let's talk i'm willing i'm wide open for anybody else anybody else is available i gotta i got a little i got a lot of love for luis medina when i saw him i was like yeah this dude was gonna be an animal i could see this guy being an absolute animal but i trade him i would trade them right but here's my thing and the reason that i trade them is not because i don't believe in these guys because i believe in them just as much as the next guy does when we had eli on and we're definitely going to do that again next season because that was a phenomenal podcast yeah um i but like i believe in all the guys that he's bringing up a hundred percent but here's my thing do they fit the window right now because make no mistake about it there is a current window and worse i'm not well i don't agree with the people saying oh the windows closer but i disagree with that but i do agree that the window is closing there it is it's definitely closing it is closing and these guys medina has always got there they're coming but maybe not quick enough for this particular window maybe we need to make moves for them because there are players who fit this particular window better than they do at this time when i say jason dominguez it's not because i don't think dominguez is going to be a beast i think he's going to be [ __ ] phenomenal but if he can get me a matt chapman or olson for right now oh yeah i gotta seriously consider it yep i definitely do that i don't know how you don't do that yep i don't know how you don't do that um oh the braves just won so they're up 3-1 on the beloved hey look at that look at that fam chop post that right now we chopping that baby up oh now let me stop jeff passing is crying right now somewhere we gotta go to a braves game next year bro definitely definitely definitely go to the bar no um so yeah i don't know let's see we'll see we'll see what catchment does maybe he surprises us who knows yeah we can and and you know one of the last things we'll do here before we wrap up is we'll talk about what our infield will look like yeah what our infield would look like and go from there um i actually been writing down um what i like the yankee team to look like and i tell you you guys are going to be like pete how the hell do you do that one of the positions i have a tough time with is shortstop you would think that's like insane like how the hell do you have a problem with sure like isn't that the easiest one to fill there's so many options though because well because i'm putting my money elsewhere and people might be like damn pete i i don't know about that bro i don't know i'm still going towards pitching so let if you don't mind i'll start with mine and then you start with yours maybe you'll give me an idea shortstop but i don't have it i don't have a guy right now that i'm so sold on and on top of it i'm also thinking of it as a business almost and i don't know if i'm dishing out 300 plus million for these guys i don't know and again we're the yankees i get it trust me everybody i would i would buy everything up i agree with that mindset i don't know if some of these guys are worth that money that's my issue i don't seeger should not get 300 plus he's been too injured to get that money so if that's what the real asking price is and if that's guaranteed anyway let me get to what i'm saying first baseman i resigned anthony rizzo i think he's too important to the team i think he's too important my second baseman is dj lemayo my third baseman you ready for this friend this is gonna make your offseason right here jose ramirez and you want to know how i'm getting them okay everybody what's your trade well i don't have a trade right now but jason dominguez is there louise volpe is on a pedestal volpe's not going anywhere i think volpe is going to be an abs everybody that's all everybody believes this kid's going to be a star i think it's that's too hard of one is this a generational talent from what you're hearing leave them and the mindset this is the best part about him everybody says he's a winner he he doesn't he's not happy with how a season went he wants to be better i'm not moving off from that type of guy i'm keeping that type of guy here yeah jason dominguez they they want dominguez they want louise heal they want two other lower guys they want glaibotoras bye jose ramirez is what this team needs desperately box office desperately which hitting third baseman good glove good arm character carrick there you go that's the one that we missed we think of numbers he's a character been there done that the best thing about see it's going to be crazy it's going to be so crazy now but the best thing about ramirez is what he does for like our young up-and-coming hispanic players right of course he is a guy that a lot of these young guys listen to they look up who they like to be around it's like that is i love i love that move i love them i think one of the big problems now is that we didn't have a guy like that for labor tourists or like other guy but continue my bad no no you're good you're good i'm basically wrapped up there but there was you know some of the other names i i you could always look at and and say well maybe that'll work well is because you're looking to free ages and i'm if the yankees are you know with this mindset of what i did here they also signed robbie ray so they got money going okay they got money going elsewhere so when i look at shortstops now i'm thinking okay well what could be one of the best moves they can make who's out there who's available for us a small thing and you know you sit back and you think well maybe story takes a cheaper deal i i don't know that so i'm just going off of what my mind may say here maybe i look at a little more defense jose iglesias stop gap type guy hits pretty well pretty good defender i don't know you know you pick and choose there i don't go back to dd i've seen some people bring that up i don't go back to the oh by the way and i'll let you you you take over so that's my thing that let me let me i'll tell you guys something about masahiro tanaka that i actually heard about recently rizzo dj shortstop i don't know jose ramirez that's what i'm doing and and i'm sorry that i don't know the shortstop but basically what i'm saying on the short stop is i'd find somebody good it's not gonna be your your your stars and people could probably say dampi how do you pass up on this pool i'm putting my money towards i always feel pitching's enough and i think if you add jose ramirez you get a healthy uh lemay you you do other things in the outfit which the yankees wouldn't do but i change up center field definitely and i change up catcher also so you got some differences there whether it's tucker barnhart people like uh jacob stalins who just won a fielding bible award for the best defensive catcher anybody wants to raise their hand on how much we need that anybody out there people get stuck on gary sanchez hits you 20 homers i don't give a poop i don't give a poot the yankees need somebody the pitcher staff goes yeah this is my guy he steals strikes he does everything jacob stalin and yankees always trade with them get me jacob stalin that'll be my whole infield i'll throw catcher in it too jacob stalin's i trade for first baseman rizzo second baseman dj third baseman jose ramirez you just completely got better defensively and you made your batting order better too so that's where i am let me ask you this right um if i can complete your infield for you without adding anybody just saying say they do all that and they just say you know we're gonna we're gonna give the kid a shot peraza he's he's on the right he's on the roster already i would love it even more i would love that we didn't trade him let him let him man it for a little while until volpe's ready and then maybe we'll we'll build some trade value up more friend and we'll move him in a trade down the line but this year we'll give the kid a shot at short well it will remind you of jeter right they had veterans around them they didn't have other rookies yeah so think about that you're the shortstop you're coming to be like wow that's a big position for the yankees to your right is jose ramirez to your left is dj lemayo yeah and you got rizzo at first and rizzo's gonna come to your running back bro catch the ball that's it like you did with the door just throw it okay if it's anywhere near me trust me i'm going to give you a good shot of making that play but friends i'm there with that there you go listen um all right so i had i had a i had a similar thought but in the interest of like given a different look i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna go to like my my close second right mike um my original thought was i was like listen say they don't get one of the big shortstops because of the deals that they can make in trades in terms of like getting a first baseman like olsen or maybe getting a third baseman like chapman or whatever so here's what i did um i'm gonna say it might be a little bit less realistic because we are banking on chapman on on cashman making deals for obviously i'm already chapman or whatever but we're banking on him making some pretty serious deals here but here's what i go with one i trade glade rotorus and i don't trade i'm not saying i'm gonna i'm getting a blockbuster thing back for him i don't know maybe i trade him in the deal for chapman or maybe we trade him somewhere else but i move glebert torres and i make dj our full-time second baseman for the same reason that you said he's our best defensive second baseman on the roster there's no why are we playing footsies and playing [ __ ] games here like yeah he's the best put the best there yep um i already said third base i like dealing for chapman i know olson is the guy everybody's talking about and everything like that i like dealing for chapman at third base because now we're moving on from geo right we're grading well we're probably getting back maybe some low-level prospect mid-level prospect maybe we're getting back on a bullpen arm i'd love to trade rp and get a strong opinion on because i feel like geo will get you a pretty decent bulb in arm who maybe has really great peripheral stats but hasn't had the results yet a la clay home can i can i throw you can i throw you some names yeah for him there is a deal that i think about often and a team that i think about i know that um they are gonna likely try to uh the texas rangers for an example are are are gonna try to put this thing in the fast motion everybody expects them to have a big offseason they got some good young guys coming up they got some pretty decent players coming up there but a lot of people expect them to maybe make some some pretty strong moves there's a guy on the team that we seen the yankees face if they can get him i will love it this there's one big guy in the bullpen josh spores i don't know if you remember josh spores yes he throws am i correct yes yes he looked terrific perfect game yep he throws very hard 69 k's and 59 innings but again you know he's he's young he has all the potential in the world he's a guy right now that they i'm i don't believe they feel like this is the next closer i'm pretty sure they probably deal them but those are the things that i'm looking at let's say for a geo or shelter like you know yeah well geo at third we got them for a few more years that's already a big guy there maybe we signed story got a really nice left side of your infield to show to your fans you got um you know you got a good center fielder still the offense could really come around and be tight if you get some pitching you might shock a few people this year so maybe it's one of those things like that where you can do that uh taylor hearn is another guy who's another lefty you could start and and come out the pen so i just wanted to throw it at that because you know people sometimes say that oh well you know or shell has been injured or shelley got value our sherlock got bounced back and people like him because he's a good character he's a good per you could tell people like him because he's a good guy he's a great character um i mean i think what was kernan saying that he was the one that was out there like working out taking him him and uh dj lemay you know he was doing backhand plays everywhere yeah like this is like that that's good i think geo definitely has value even with like the injury questions and things like that decent glove at third um the bat has come along since you know coming to the yankees really come in to insult his own i think there's value there so i'd like to move on from him now and upgrade because i think that we as the yankees should be getting more from the hot corner um so i like making i like going and dealing for uh for chapman um whatever it takes um i think i don't know you know how much it's gonna take but yeah your dominguez is probably gonna be in there to start and you're gonna have to go in there maybe with one of the two pitchers there and heel or medina or you know schmidt has some value but i don't know if it's enough i mean yeah when you pair them with dominguez it does up the ante but i don't know um but it's gonna hurt that's one thing i'm not gonna lie to you guys if you are gonna make a deal for a guy like chapman it's gotta hurt it's gotta hurt something yeah so that i have no you know i have no illusions that that a deal like that won't hurt but that's the deal that i want so so far i got dji second base i got chapman at third base i'm gonna go first base i resign anthony rizzo i like the relationship that he built with judge i think he fits really freaking well this lineup i think he was doing phenomenal until he caught covert and then battling back from covid i think he got back to maybe 75 80 percent of himself but i don't think he got back 100 to himself i was gonna say i could attest i can definitely attest to it yeah i had coveted and let me tell you guys even after i was told i'm negative and i'm into work they said i don't know if this is a normal thing but the doctor said you're in a recovery mode now i'm like okay all right look whatever that means he's like yeah he's like it'll take a while to build things up to right now i'm going back weeks right i still am working on getting my full respiratory back when i do a hard cardio that is like building back up still and there was a time where i told you about this when my body gets tired very very quickly which i never had i'm a muscle ache type tired so knowing that some people get things a certain way maybe rizzo had those same type of effects i know the boxer tyson fury um if you guys follow fighting at all he had coveted before his deante wilder three fight and his dad said he was actually worried about it because tyson fury runs like 10 miles every day they were three miles in and he couldn't breathe so he's like how are you gonna go step in the ring with this monster and fight this guy again when you can't breathe you got to move the day back and say no i'm going to do it but anthony rizzo could have had a major effect from covid he could have had a major effect from coven i think he came back i think he was you know more or less there but i feel like we saw the effect we saw some errors like you know things like that like weird things that i was just like yeah i don't think he's 100 i don't think he says so i'd like to bring him back resign them i don't think it's going to cost ridiculous amount um i do i would like it to not be anything north of four or five years but who knows um if the money's cheap then i they probably extend it who knows but i like to bring rizzo back so so far i have djs second chapman at third rhythm who's the shortstop who's the show something you go for you guys already know i would absolutely positively love carlos correa on the new york yankees don't think it's going to happen for a lot of reasons so he's not the shortstop i went with um i went with seeger and i will tell you why i went with seeger i know that everything came out with the 300 million and everything like that and i'm like okay i get it he's a boris kind of whatever okay got it but there's gonna be you know there's good there's a lot of competition out there with shortstops this year right baez is a free agent also we already said corey is a free agent trevor story's a free agent uh simeon is a free agent where it is wants to go back to shortstop um there's there's not this free then you got lower level guys like your dd's and uh who could be free agents or i'm like i might be messing that up like indeed he got one more year and um over there but you guys you're like i said you're iglesias you're simmons you guys out there justin simmons like you got it's a pretty crowded field and here's what i'm saying i think correa is going to get 300 million plus but outside of that i don't know a hundred percent like in my heart of hearts that corey seeger is going to get 300 million i don't think so either to be honest i think that was put out so that it could be like a barometer saying like that's what we want or it could be a team maybe a team jumps to that number immediately possible that you know what i mean it could be one of those things like a field that okay well you know he'll probably want that so maybe we do it exactly you never know you put that feeler out there because like yeah maybe like we'll get a team that says hey we really want this kid we don't want to [ __ ] around we'll just on the first talk we'll say all right yeah we're willing to go 300 million 10 years like let's do it um but i'm going to say that yeah i'm going to say we get them right in my id in my perfect world i'm the gm i signed seeger but it's not it's not 300 million it's it's not cheap i'm not saying i'm going to get them for freaking 200 200 million 220 but i i feel like if i'm i'm signing them i find i find a way where it works to maybe get them at anywhere from 265 to 285 which i know is only 15 down from 300 million but on the other side of 300 million there's something about that number that i feel the way about so yeah even 285 i'm okay with yeah because seeker is young enough and i think it's possible who knows like we did get really healthy years from judge and stanton this year maybe there's something the cressier approach could do for seeger who knows let me tell you why the reason i go see her is actually not just a play for 2022 and chapman and all this stuff so i'll explain it to you it's because right now that's my infield for 2022. two years later chapman is a free agent i let him walk i move seeger to third and volpe takes over at short and we don't miss a beat in my infield i didn't say catcher who i would like to go for catcher so i'll put out my options i'm 100 in line with you with jacob stallings but i'm going to give a different name just to beat off say i'd go tucker barnhart one or another name that i don't know if anybody's if we've talked about before i also like the kid from arizona carson kelly i don't know how of course in kelly but i don't know if you i don't know if they're going to move him um yeah i don't again i don't i don't know how realistic i said that i said that the other time he would probably be one of my number one choices to go after if they remove him so carson kelly definitely would be my guy bring him up but tucker barhart i think is realistic um yeah definitely you think he's realistic so i would say i would go out and get him but if i could get carson kelly i'd love carson kelly um but yeah like you said jason jacob stallings would be good i mean let's see um but i think that i think the number one thing to note there is that gary sanchez is not my catcher for opening day next year that's that's not what i would do um but yeah that's what that's my plan that's my infield dj at second uh rizzo back at first i signed seeger um the big flashy name but i also trade for chapman which is a big blockbuster trade and two years later i think i'm set up to move on the man third base i let chapman walk but then volpe comes up and takes over a short stop yeah and i feel we'll miss a beat that's how we do it makes sense so that's yours mine again would be we both agree with rizzo or first base we'll be get agree at dj at second base then i'd have peraza at short uh you gave me the idea i like that idea and i'd have third base would be jose ramirez and catcher would be my man jacob stalin's um i think that will make the yankees really better i think there'll be a much better team um for both of those both of what we said both options so you guys let us know let us know in the comments below what you guys think about both of our options let us know what your options would be also something different yeah you guys might be something different so yeah let's start a conversation down there in the in the in the chat and then also in the comments section about what your guys uh what what you would do with the infield and what those trades would look like we kind of got into that a little bit what our trades would look like so um with all that being said i mean that's where we are that's what we think um i think we covered just about everything today that we have to cover uh there'll obviously be a lot more coming we obviously have big things coming up uh winter meetings and all that fun stuff um we're not 100 certain if we'll have an episode next week but guys stay tuned we'll let you know if we don't if we do um not that anything is planned but if there's you know slow news maybe it's not the best time to do it we do other things maybe other videos and stuff like that to cover some things up but again guys if you have not watched the interview with kevin kern and take some time out of your day and do that it's really informative not because of me all because of kevin kevin's extremely knowledgeable so hearing him talk was really fun i know a lot of times i was kind of like man this guy i love that he aligns with a lot of what team ny news says because he's been around for so long and he knows so many people in a new york hall of fame so i mean it's pretty damn awesome uh definitely check that one out guys it's an affirmation when you hear a guy like kevin kernan get up there and start saying some of the things that that you say and that we've been saying because it's like i mean this guy knows baseball i mean 100 no doubt about it the interview i've watched the interview three times now um what obviously to support my the channel and my team but also just because it's a really enjoyable interview it's one of the it's one of the better interviews i've i've watched this year i'm not just saying that because it it was my guy pete doing it with no i think me said it but a lot of people said that what i look for in an interview like that was one of the more enjoyable ones because the talk the baseball talk all of that that was everything i look for and like i feel like look man like to hear him echo some of the things that we've been saying about like how this team just isn't prepared how they're not doing the right things and stuff like that or whatever and i don't think he killed uh boone i know he did it he was honest about him but i like him he said he's a nice guy he said the night he said i know everybody says it because i'm gonna say it he's a really nice guy i know him i know his dad i know his brother i know that whatever but he said he lost respect for what i said hey you know what listen i'm indifferent that they brought him back i think because i figured i had to i resigned myself to it after the wildcard game because i said you know pete's right they're probably going to bring him back anyway so i was like screw it they'll bring him back whatever but to hear current say like yeah but i mean i lost respect for well i was like that's literally was my feel like when he was resigned it's like yeah like i'm not gonna freaking burn down yankee stadium because they resigned boone but i'm not also i'm not gonna also sit here and say like i respect them and it's the same i'm feeling that i have when they sign them the first time like did you did you notice did you like how i had to try to get in and ask current and about the bully thing i can't help it you said you said i've been i've been saying it and to everybody i interviewed because i just can't get over it i can't get over it but curtin made a great point what are you saying and he said you you said it you told us he said you can't be passive aggressive he said that's my thing there if you have something go say it to the young don't say it don't go crying to the media that was a good point yep that was it that was a great point when he said that yeah that was a great freaking point and i think that's what it is like yeah we joke about it or whatever because in the day it was a grown man saying he got bullied by an umpire which is absolutely nuts it's egregious and we shouldn't accept that [ __ ] as fans but we had to yep right aside from that what kernin says is like bro why do that in the post game presser of course do it out there on the feet you're getting anyway that's right now just just go do it like go what's that he's like boom did it once remember that one time he's like that's what the real threw for like a little bit and then we haven't seen that guy and i was like [ __ ] he's right yeah he's right i love the savages in the box ring yeah me too what happened i felt you know i felt it was like a downfall towards not not that moment but as long as it went on it was like are you going to hold these people accountable now right like i don't know but i mean yeah that's right but you're 100 right i mean that was the boon that's the boom we need and like i said i have never once said i disliked the person i have never said that i said he drives me mad i can't stand when i see him because like kernan said you can't even watch his post games anymore you can't watch him because you sit there like okay yeah same [ __ ] let's go next thing you know what he's gonna you know what he's gonna say so he doesn't like being called a puppet but he is but he is there's no way of going around he's a puppet he is i mean again and i think i said this before on one of our last episodes like i don't know i'm 50 50 on the puppet thing either he's i'm 50 that he's a puppet or he really truly agrees with everything that cashman is saying the reason that i have to lean actually is probably like 70 30. he's a puppet because he comes from a family that knows too much baseball for him to really be that one and two he's made to me now there's no denying he's just happy to be the yankee manager when you leave your friends to decide and throw your friends to the dirt because you just want to keep that same position look if that was like okay for an example like you said earlier right somebody comes to us and oh we talked about this offline but they're like hey somebody brings this podcast over to a bigger network early and we're like maybe we'll accept it and they're like okay well we have all ownership of it and one day we go like now we don't want to we're not going to talk about this so well we'll scrap that like now actually no you guys are going to talk about it because now we control that's what we want you talking about and they're like well um and like let's say for example you go well then we're both leaving yeah and i'm like and some people might be like oh don't talk for me i think i want to believe that we'll be like yeah yeah fair we're both we're both bouncing we're not going to do this thing like this if we all that stuff happens no if my friend goes then i'm going to go too like we're going to have each other's back on this thing this man knew nevin was gone then he goes to the media's like well if i knew that was going to happen and i don't know you knew you knew and those are the things that make me lean like yeah this dude really has no control he's a puppet he he's there just to do one or two things and that's it and i'm telling you my dad told me my dad said it a while back he said pete watch his post games he reads he has notes i said i said that too this year i was like you literally see him reading the notes he's reading notes you could tell he's and he can say all his numbers no there's buzzwords and phrases that they want him to say yes yeah so anyway we can rant on this all night and talk about this all night but um anyway guys francis i'm gonna throw it over to you before i say that last thing one thing that came out and it really disproves what cashman said he said that if they would have let boone go he would have been the number one manager on the market but i think all that stuff about him going to san diego i think if they would let boone go boom would still be out of a job right now unless he took them out hey you gonna say he could either take the mets job or oakland i could see oakland maybe coming to a guy like him you get the young guys up running through him maybe boone wouldn't accept it i don't know but baby the whole thing about him automatically going to the padres if they had a shot at melvin and it was between melvin and boom they go melvin i don't think i agree i i don't i don't believe that was ever really again i talked to kernel about this i said it right you heard me i said it's all they were fluffing them up they were fluffing this dude up like it's the greatest move to make in the planet so like i said they were selling themselves on it it's cool no doubt about it it's cool it is what it is we know we know what we're getting we know what to expect as of right now it's up to them to change the perception that's right that's right but the designated spinners don't got to change our perception because we've been consistent all year coming with that fire coming with these episodes fire interviews come on man kernan that interview you got that where at ny news and that's what's coming more and more and more it's going to be coming out of your ears in january guys all types of news there's more there's already so much more i mean there's a there's a hell of a lot lined up there's a hell of a lot lined up but i don't think the tagline will ever change oh no the next
