Give him a significant You're going to have a ton of money to

spend. Why not put it in one of the top
0:05
three offensive players in the league?
0:15
We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
0:17
can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.

2:46
It has been an absolutely crazy, crazy couple of days and we will
2:51
get into it on our first couple of stories.
2:53
But I will say this, it was absolutely heated all day here
3:00
in Long Island, New York. As a matter of fact, Brittany
3:02
told me she was at the beach and she couldn't even lay in the
3:05
sun. It was that hot.
3:07
She couldn't even go. She was hanging out at the bar
3:09
not drinking. Why would you go to a beach if
3:12
you're not going to lay in the sand?
3:13
That that's what I don't understand.
3:15
I, I said that to her, I'm not going in the water and I'm not
3:19
laying on sand because I hate the dirt.
3:21
So you know, I'm not going to be at the beach.
3:23
But she said that I would say 85% of the people that were
3:27
there were hanging at the bar. So why are you going to the
3:31
beach? I don't get it.
3:32
I don't get it. But it was absolutely hot.
3:34
I knew it at 7:30 AM when the sun was paling on my shoulders
3:40
that it was going to be a hot 1. Today.
3:41
It's it was like 9293. It felt like it was 110.
3:46
That's how hot it was. It was disgusting.
3:48
It's still disgusting outside. It feels like I'm in a sauna.
3:51
If you ever been to a steam room and you wait until it really
3:54
just just makes you sweat from head to toe, That's what it
3:58
feels like when you walk outside.
3:59
But anyways, I, I don't want to get into this like story and I
4:03
was at the gym and by the way, going and doing any kind of
4:07
cardio on the treadmills or the ellipticals.
4:11
I, I wouldn't even do that because no matter how much the
4:14
air conditioning is blasting, you're still going to sweat your
4:17
butt off. So I absolutely couldn't stand
4:20
the 30 minutes of cardio. And by the way's job, I've been
4:22
doing this for the last, I would say 2 weeks, every single day
4:26
I'm doing 30 minutes of cardio. So I'm proud of myself.
4:29
And by the way, I went, I dropped from 2:25 today.
4:33
I am 209 lbs. So I get to give myself a, a
4:37
Golf Club. This is good for me.
4:39
I, I'm, I'm healthy, my A1C was high.
4:42
I'm staying away from sugar drinks.
4:44
I'm staying away from all the different sweets.
4:47
And I, I feel good about myself. I feel clean.
4:50
How are you, Java? Do you feel clean?
4:51
Are you clean in many different ways?
4:53
Are you cleaning your pants? I got to ask you your future
4:56
wife. I mean, I don't know, but I
4:58
don't want to get too deep into that.
4:59
We have analytics a little bit later in the show.
5:01
No, we, yeah, just took a shower, feel great.
5:05
Just looped up the beard, rolled it up.
5:07
Got it, all good. What kind of loop do you use for
5:09
your beard? I do, I'm literally still going
5:13
through old beard companies that they sent me product from.
5:18
I literally do they go bed and does.
5:20
Does beard products? Every time I don't, I there's
5:22
like some of them are still sealed.
5:24
Like they sent so many of them like still even after I had my
5:27
beard. And so yeah.
5:29
So I'm just, I'm just going through whatever I got in there.
5:32
So I get worried. I learned I get worried.
5:34
Yeah. No, you got to use, you got to
5:36
use a different shampoo and conditioner for your beard other
5:40
and I don't have any hair, so I don't really have to worry.
5:42
About I don't use any shampoo for my beard and that's why I
5:45
don't grow it that much. It's it's like any more than
5:47
Pringley. I absolutely shave it.
5:49
I don't like the way it looks when it fall.
5:51
You know it comes, you know, it starts to grow and it looks like
5:54
Jesus Christ over here, Speedy. I mean, it's absolutely horrible
5:58
when it Speedy has no Gray hair. He's 30 years old.
6:01
I mean, he obviously doesn't stress because the guy doesn't
6:04
have one Gray hair in his beard. If you look at his beard,
6:07
there's not one Gray hair in his hair or his beard.
6:10
It makes no sense. Java.
6:11
This actually comes from genetics of my father actually
6:14
had a little Gray spot on his head when he was a teenager.
6:17
It doesn't make any sense. I, I, I have like Pringles in my
6:22
beard. I don't have much in my hair and
6:24
I'm starting to get it in my eyebrows.
6:26
So I, I don't like that. So I'm trying to tweeze it and
6:29
clean it off. I want to look freshly.
6:32
I don't know if I have any in my hair.
6:33
I have definitely have it in my beard but like if I trim my like
6:36
sideburn and trim this up, it's it's not.
6:38
As I'm saying, I trim it down so you really can't notice the Gray
6:41
in my beard. And I, I kind of look sexy with
6:44
a, you know, a short beard. I, I can't put any.
6:48
Yes, I think I'm sexy. What's the longest you've ever
6:50
grown it? The longest I've ever grown it
6:54
probably speedies. Like what the way speedies looks
6:57
right now, I grew it like that probably in my 20s.
7:00
I was in Germany and I'll tell you guys a quick story.
7:02
I was in Germany and for like 3-4 weeks I was like, you know
7:06
what, I'm going absolute bum look and I grew my hair out
7:11
calling me a bum. No, no, no, I went bum look.
7:14
I didn't even shave. I didn't even clean it.
7:17
I just was growing out and I, I looked like a bum, but I wore, I
7:22
wore a backwards hat, which I don't usually do unless I'm
7:26
playing sports. You will never see me really
7:28
wear a backwards hat. So I, I like to wear it, you
7:31
know, obviously front words and, and, and I like, I like that
7:34
kind of style. But nevertheless, when I do go
7:37
out and I, I try to, you know, show my, my sexiness to the
7:43
women or my girlfriend because I don't want to get myself into
7:46
trouble tonight. I like to keep it fresh and, and
7:50
when it's fresh and it's clean and by the way, I, I shave in
7:56
the shower, so I don't use any shaving cream or anything.
8:00
I use hot water. I let it like breed, breed.
8:04
I like to breathe my, my face. As everybody says, ice breed.
8:10
Who who uses breath? That just tells you, ladies and
8:12
gentlemen, I am. Do you have a?
8:13
Mirror. Do you have a mirror or you just
8:15
go raw? No, I go raw.
8:18
I go raw. Well I know you go raw shaving,
8:20
but do you have a mirror so you can see?
8:21
Not really. I just know my I know my face
8:24
and I know the lines. I follow the lines on my face
8:27
and I cut pretty straight. So I'm actually doing it for
8:31
such a long time. The first time I learned how to
8:34
shave, ladies and gentlemen, I went into my father's bathroom
8:37
and he had these BIC, you know, shavers.
8:40
And I was like, oh, this is cool.
8:41
I I like whiskers when I was like 16 years old and I was
8:45
like. Was that the was that the one
8:47
blade blade? Yeah, yeah, dude.
8:49
I, I ripped my face so bad I, I look like I was in like a
8:55
catfight with somebody and I never did that again.
8:59
And I actually, usually your father teaches you how to use a
9:03
razor. I had to learn the hard way.
9:05
That's how I learned how to use a razor.
9:07
So true story. The first time I absolutely use,
9:11
the first time I actually used a razor, I was in my father's
9:15
bathroom trying his BIC razor, the one bladed razor, which is
9:19
absolutely, absolutely horrible. Anyways, mlbsmlb.com's Mark Fine
9:25
said Feinstein reports that the Guardians are looking to trade
9:29
outfielder Stephen Kwan and pitcher Shane Bieber in a
9:32
package deal. MLB dot coms Brian Murphy
9:35
reports that the Mariners, Cubs, Tigers and Phillies are the four
9:39
teams most likely to trade for Diamondbacks third baseman
9:43
Suarez. The Athletic reports that the
9:46
Astros are interested in trading for Dylan CS from the Padres and
9:51
also trading with the Twins to reunite with Carlos Correa.
9:57
The Mets have traded for three relievers, trading for lefty
10:01
Gregory Soto from the Orioles on Sunday and then today trading
10:06
for Tyler Rogers from the Giants and All Star Ryan Hesley from
10:11
thecardinals.mlb.com reports that the Mets are interested in
10:15
trading for a center fielder, with Cedric Mullins from the
10:20
Orioles and Louise Robert from the White Sox being the most
10:23
likely candidates. The Yankees have traded for
10:26
outfielder Austin Slater from the White Sox, and reports say
10:30
that the Yankees are done trading for bats.
10:33
Also, after also trading for Ryan McMahon and and Ahmed
10:39
Rosario, the Yankees are still interested and expected to go
10:43
after pitchers like Meryl Kelly, Zach Golan, Mitch Keller or even
10:49
Sandy Alcantara all being targets for the Yankees.
10:54
The Yankees are still car targeting several big name
10:57
relievers including Athletics closer Mason Miller and Pirates
11:01
closer David Bednar. So I mean and I again, I'm not
11:07
going to say this about the Yankees.
11:08
I always have said this over over and over again about the
11:13
Yankees. Yankees are always going to be
11:14
buyers and I I'll talk about the Yankees.
11:17
I'll go into them. The Mets aren't done guys.
11:19
The Mets are going to add another bat.
11:21
They're probably going to end a center fielder.
11:23
We just mentioned two guys that are definitely guys that the
11:26
Mets are going to be gunning for.
11:28
Louise Robert being one of them. If if he does, if he does become
11:32
available, the White Sox have said, you know, numerous amount
11:34
of times you're going to have to give us a top prospect if if you
11:40
want Louise, Robert and I, I don't think the Mets are willing
11:42
to do that. Now, we'll see how the Mets work
11:44
this And and and obviously Sterns decides how he's going to
11:48
attack this. But I think the Yankees should
11:51
be sellers. I know Yankee fans are probably
11:53
going to attack me and say, how could you say that?
11:55
The Yankees are still a good team.
11:56
They're going to probably make the playoffs.
11:58
The American League is just awful.
12:01
The Yankees aren't going to win this year no matter who they
12:04
bring in. Look, they have Devin Williams.
12:06
Devin Williams has has played better since the beginning of
12:10
the season. But Devin, are the Yankees going
12:12
to re sign Devin Williams in the offseason?
12:14
After what we've seen so far in the first half of the season,
12:16
the answer would be no. Now you're talking about Mason
12:19
Miller sounds like a very good pitcher, young relief pitcher,
12:23
has tremendous stuff. OK, you bring him in.
12:27
Is he going to be the the only player that you're going to need
12:31
to to take that step forward if you're coming?
12:33
If the Yankees are coming out and saying they're not adding
12:35
another bat, that's scary. Especially from the age you
12:38
would think they would want to add a bat from them.
12:40
They're they're saying they're not going to add another bat.
12:42
So them finishing off and adding the the players that they've
12:47
added over the last couple of days is enough for the Yankees
12:49
to say that that's enough. Austin Slater, that guy's a
12:53
backup player. He's not a start arm and Rosario
12:57
is a backup player. McMahon is the only guy that the
13:01
Yankees are going to have who's going to be starting every
13:03
single game as long as he's healthy at third base.
13:06
Now, if they're expecting Aaron Judge to play in the outfield
13:09
moving forward, I don't think so.
13:12
I know he doesn't have a tear in his UCL, but usually when you
13:15
hear an injury like this, it usually means that eventually
13:18
he's going to have surgery and Aaron Judge, you're going to
13:22
protect your asset. This is the best player in the
13:25
league. This guy's breaking records.
13:27
This guy, before he got hurt, was the MVP of the whole league.
13:33
It's scary when you think about it, where everybody keeps saying
13:36
the Yankees, the Yankees, the Yankees, we are buyers.
13:39
We're not sellers. The Yankees aren't winning
13:41
anything, boys. They're not.
13:44
They have Garrett Cole coming back next year.
13:47
Carlos Rodon's having a good year finally after all the money
13:50
the Yankees are paying him. Max Freed, who's been a
13:55
sensational first half has not been as good, maybe because of
13:58
the blister problem. He pitched well the other day.
14:00
Still give up four runs. And then you have a guy like
14:05
Louise Hill who is going to be back in weeks, maybe in a week.
14:10
You have 4 guys and then Clark Schmidt who's again out for the
14:14
season and. Maybe next year.
14:17
Too. Just think about that.
14:19
This is a team that's going to have a good rotation next year.
14:22
They should be looking towards next year.
14:24
Well, what does that tell you? Maybe Aaron Boone's not back.
14:27
Maybe Brian Cashman steps down. Maybe the Yankees look to
14:30
another manager, another GMI don't know.
14:33
Now, as long as House running that organization, I think Brian
14:36
is, is going to be there as far as I'm concerned.
14:39
Now, there are stories coming out about a year ago that the
14:42
Yankees and the Steinbrenner family was thinking about maybe
14:45
selling the team. Now, I don't know if that story
14:48
is true as we've seen the Lakers, who would have thought
14:51
that the bus family was ever going to sell the Lakers?
14:53
And then they sell the Lakers for $10 billion, right?
14:57
It was 10 billion. So I, I mean, there's no crazy
15:01
story about this. The fact that the Yankees and
15:03
House Diamond, remember George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees
15:06
for $10 million. The Yankees, if they're they're
15:10
sold, they're probably going to be sold for 12 billion.
15:12
The Lakers were sold for for 10. The Yankees are probably going
15:15
to be sold for 12. The only team that's probably
15:19
worth more is the Cowboys. But Terry Jones will never sell.
15:23
The thought here and the process here is the Yankees or the
15:27
Yankees, My process here for the Yankees is they just not going
15:31
to cut it this year if if honestly and I, I've talked to
15:35
fish off off air. He says Bellinger's having a
15:38
great year. The Yankees got to re sign them.
15:40
Why trade Bellinger? He is a free agent.
15:44
If he wants to come back to the Yankees in the offseason, he can
15:48
trade him to a team that needs a bat.
15:50
He's batting 280. I look, I was looking at his
15:52
numbers. I I'll take back what I said
15:54
about his season, but in the first half of the season, he
15:57
wasn't playing well. Now he's starting to hit over
16:00
the last, I would say four or five weeks, he's been one of the
16:03
hotter hitters for the Yankees. Giancarlo Stand, if you can move
16:06
him right now, which he has a no, a no trade clause, I'd move
16:09
him. But I think the Yankees are
16:12
going to have them for one more year next year and then they'll
16:15
have one more year and a club option.
16:17
I think the Yankees will either buy out his contract or talk to
16:20
John and tell him like, listen, we can move you wherever you
16:24
want to go. Pick a team and we'll trade you
16:26
there. We'll get some assets for it.
16:28
Right now, the Yankees are not winning it.
16:31
To me, there's only three teams that could win the World Series
16:35
from the American League. You know those teams are the
16:38
Astros, the Detroit Tigers and the Toronto Blue Jays.
16:45
Those are the three teams right now, if you would ask me, are
16:49
the favorites are coming out of the American League and
16:51
challenging one of those National League teams.
16:53
And the National in the National League is not that good either.
16:56
Let's be honest. Everybody talks how powerful the
16:58
National League. Philadelphia looks like crap.
17:01
The Mets have been up and down. Now Milwaukee looks good, but
17:06
they always look, they don't tell the players Now if
17:09
Milwaukee has a bat, if they go after Suarez and they put him in
17:13
the lineup, that could be scary. They had a bat like that.
17:17
I, I mean, the Dodgers are going to be good.
17:19
We, we already know the Dodgers are going to be scary if they
17:22
can get healthy. There's really nothing out there
17:25
that tells me this is a year where we're going to guarantee
17:29
the Dodgers are going to win a World Series or maybe the
17:31
Yankees come out and win a World.
17:32
I don't see it. I think we're going to see a
17:34
surprise in the World Series this year.
17:36
I don't think we can really make a decision on who's going to be
17:40
who's going to support the National League and who's going
17:42
to play for the American League. Yeah, there's too many extremes
17:45
right now when you look at the National League because the
17:46
Brewers, I don't know if they have enough offense.
17:48
The Cubs have the best run differential in the National
17:50
League, but I don't know even know if they have enough
17:51
pitching right now. And they haven't really done
17:53
enough addressing the pitching right now.
17:55
They're probably right now unless they get one of those two
17:58
relievers you mentioned for the Yankees, they're the biggest
18:00
loser and not dressing their bullpen enough because the
18:02
Phillies get Joanne Duran and the Mets got a bunch of
18:05
relievers. Helsley was probably, I don't
18:07
know if the Cardinals would have trained in division with the
18:09
Cubs, but they he's a very good left-handed reliever and the
18:14
other one too. And Tyler Rogers was a submarine
18:15
reliever that could have been somebody that the Cubs could
18:17
have used. I like both those moves for the
18:18
Mets. A lot of people are saying that
18:19
they overpaid too much for Rogers giving up too much.
18:21
But you look at the type of steady, not a durable reliever
18:25
that he is. He has a 18 ERA this year and he
18:28
said a two pretty much under 2 pretty much every other year.
18:31
So I like he. Has the most appearances out of
18:33
the bullpen since 2020. Yes, and he hasn't gotten hurt
18:36
much. Obviously, he's a submariner, so
18:38
he's not throwing hard and not a high strikeout rate.
18:40
But again, it's something that could be a good change of pace
18:42
in that bullpen, too, to go along with Helsley and go along
18:44
with Gregory Soto. The Mets have needed lefties for
18:46
a while as well as far as the Yankees go.
18:49
Yeah. It's interesting because you
18:50
want to know if there's any pictures you would consider
18:52
resigning As a result of that, Gallon and Alcantara will be the
18:55
likely candidates, Merrill Kelly's 36 and I think the
19:00
other. Picture I hope they don't get
19:01
Alcantara because I'm worried. You know why?
19:03
Because I can't pronounce his last name.
19:06
I'm a little worried about Alcantara too.
19:08
I like gallon stuff at this point a little more even though
19:10
Alcantara as a youngster. Was really sandy?
19:15
Yeah, that'll be called Alderson I.
19:17
Thank God I don't have any salt in my pants, if you know what I
19:20
mean. Good.
19:22
Have some rust there if the Yankees.
19:23
Trade for him. Now you have to get your dog a
19:25
Jersey. Where's the loop, Jabba?
19:29
It's on his beard. With his with his 10 year old
19:32
beard. Beard products from his first
19:34
e-mail address. There's.
19:36
A lot of money in that beard, Boo.
19:39
And how about the Mets? And how about the Mets?
19:41
I, I don't think if the Mets have a chance to win, it's this
19:44
year because it's wide open. It is wide open right now.
19:48
And adding three relief pitchers and an All Star relief pitcher
19:51
that to me the Mets are all in. Stern is all in right now and
19:55
he's going, I think he's going to add another bat.
19:58
I if they're, and I know Mets are sitting here.
20:00
The last time the Mets were in the World Series in 2016.
20:02
If anybody doesn't win 2015. And Jabba's Jabba's Royals took
20:06
us down. I I remember that, but the fact
20:10
here is the Mets have the best chance.
20:13
This is the best team the Mets have had since then and that was
20:16
because of their rotation. I think it's because of the Mets
20:19
depth in their in their, in their lineup, in their lineup,
20:24
in their bow pins. Now it has a lot of depth too,
20:27
and something that the Mets have not really had over the years.
20:30
If you remember in that years, I think Rodriguez was their
20:32
closure. They had they had a combination
20:35
of different guys cuz Familia was the closer but he was up and
20:37
down throughout the year. Then they traded for Tyler
20:39
Clipper. And Rodriguez wasn't on that
20:41
team. No, he was gone.
20:41
I think he was with the Brewers at.
20:42
That point, yeah, he was gone. Yeah.
20:45
But yeah, that, but that's. What there's a?
20:46
Couple that's the pattern of what I.
20:48
Just remember what he did to his his stepfather or his
20:50
father-in-law. That was father-in-law.
20:52
That's. The Mets have had that pattern
20:53
for a while. They've gone after the flashy
20:55
relievers and outside of Billy Wagner, they flamed out pretty
20:58
much every time that they've gone there.
20:59
Now it's worked out with Diaz, obviously, but this is a
21:01
different approach they're taking this year.
21:02
Finally going for a little more bullpen depth, as you see, and
21:05
same kind of thing with the lineup, too, now that the young
21:07
players are starting to hit with the toes and Beatty, they're not
21:10
going to be traded. You should be happy you're a Met
21:12
fan. And I'm, I'm a lot of Met fans
21:13
out there. I've, I have a lot of Met
21:15
friends. There are a lot of guys are
21:17
reaching out to me and telling me, oh, I'm excited about this
21:20
year. I'm excited for the next couple
21:22
of weeks. We're going to get a chance to
21:23
see the Mets make a run and have a chance to win and maybe even
21:27
win the National League. Now the Mets are going to have
21:29
to go on a, you know, a 10 or 11 game-winning streak in.
21:32
But if the Mets had a bat, they have the Tal Vientos is
21:35
sensational now he can't play the fields.
21:38
He's a bona fide DH. And that's the problem with the
21:40
Mets right now. If you give Pete, Pete Alonso a
21:43
contract in the offseason, how many years does he have left to
21:46
play in the in the field? Now he's a bona fide DH in
21:50
another 3 or 4 years. Same thing with Juan Soto.
21:52
How many years does Juan Soto have before you put him as a
21:55
bonafide DH? That's scary, too.
21:58
So Juan Soda is going to be a Met for life because he's under
22:00
contract for the next, I don't know, 1520 years.
22:03
I mean, the Mets giving him those extensions that they give.
22:05
Yeah. And, and now you have guys like
22:09
Lindor and and all these other guys.
22:11
Lindor's getting up there in age.
22:12
Lindor signed a long term deal. So I, I think that obviously if
22:16
the Mets have a chance to win, it's now the next two or three
22:20
years. And I do remember what Uncle
22:21
Stevie said when he took over this team.
22:23
He said 5 of years, where are we?
22:25
Where are we in right now? We're technically 5 1/2.
22:27
Because 5 1/2 So if there's a time that the Mets could pull
22:32
off a championship win, it's now.
22:35
And then what is Uncle Stevie said maybe I was a year off.
22:38
But hey, yeah, you know, I'm not going to, I'm not going to dish
22:41
it and twish it. I I just spend the money.
22:43
I'm a billionaire's dishing and twishing.
22:45
Who does that remind you of Paul Clive Frazier?
22:48
Is he, is he at the I saw him at the basketball, if I'm not
22:52
mistaken, he was at a, a basketball event recently over
22:55
the weekend I saw on television and he he has the ugliest,
22:59
ugliest suits, man, the ugliest suits.
23:01
And my my grandfather wouldn't wear the suits anyway.
23:04
That's kind of know what he's, what he's known.
23:06
For dude in this one is I, I, I have to get the picture.
23:10
This suit that he was wearing, he was at an event, he was at a
23:13
basketball event over the weekend.
23:15
It was so ugly. I mean, my, your, your great,
23:20
great, great, great grandfather wouldn't wear it.
23:22
That's how ugly it was. It looks like drapes on his
23:24
body. That's what it looked like.
23:26
So you're saying it came out of the?
23:26
Board. It looked like drapes.
23:28
I'm not lying to you. And he was wearing this like,
23:31
instead of wearing like a tie, he was wearing like a scarf.
23:36
And you guys got to see this scarf that he was wearing.
23:38
It was like pinkish Gray. It was the ugliest scarf.
23:41
I'm like if I say, and I've met Walt a couple of times and when
23:46
I met him, he was wearing jeans and, you know, a T-shirt.
23:49
When he goes out to these events, I, I don't know who
23:51
dresses him, but it is absolutely terrible.
23:55
If it's his wife or his fiance or whoever he's, I think it's,
23:58
he's still married. If it's his wife, she needs to
24:00
get, she needs to get our eyes checked or something.
24:03
It's horrible. It's horrible.
24:06
Quickly before Java you go, I just want to mention with the
24:08
Rob Louise Roy farther too, there was they were very close
24:11
two years ago even to trading and I think the the Mets were
24:13
one of those teams in none of the Phillies were very much in
24:15
on it too. The White Sox are going to
24:16
leverage it very, pretty high. And I remember I wanted Derrick
24:18
Crochet last year because I always said the Mets should
24:21
trade for a younger pitcher that they can sign in eventually down
24:24
the road. They never did it for a while
24:25
now. Granted, they've hit some good
24:27
gems with their pitching and they've made it work.
24:28
But the White Sox apparently wanted Vientos in the deal, and
24:32
now they're saying they're going to look at it to circle it
24:34
around Acuna. So it'll be interesting to see
24:36
how that develops. But that should be the move that
24:37
they do make. That's the power move they need
24:39
to get over the top. Yeah, it's, I mean, I love this
24:42
time of year because it's it's all speculation.
24:44
What do they need? Are they going to do it?
24:46
It's funny because I'm updating on here and this, you know,
24:49
listen to everybody talk and it's of course we're going to
24:52
get all those guys back. Like you said, Errol, and it's
24:54
going to be, you know, cash from from that side be like, oh,
24:56
that's like getting getting somebody at the deadline and
24:59
blah, blah, blah. But yeah, I, I mean, Bednar
25:02
wouldn't be wouldn't be bad. But you know, as I'm reading as
25:05
it's going like every time, like Hell's a who came off now the
25:09
back and leverage guys now are going to be asking more because
25:14
now you're taking those guys off.
25:15
So it's going to kind of be what they're willing to give up and
25:19
what they're willing to hold on to.
25:22
And is it, is it worth like you're saying seller, seller
25:24
sellers is, is that kind of do they want to like push all their
25:28
eggs in that basket or do they want to like give and take?
25:31
I don't. I don't know that.
25:32
Just sell, sell off two players. Devin Williams, you're not
25:35
bringing him back. And Bellinger, if Bellinger
25:37
wants to come back next year, you resign them.
25:39
Let them go to another team and try to win a World Series and
25:41
get prospects. Bellinger's having a good year.
25:44
Teams would actually offer at least two decent prospects.
25:49
The Yankees farm system is ranked 28th right now in
25:51
baseball. I, I to me, if I, if I'm a
25:55
Yankee GM, I'm, I'm Brian Cashman or I'm any GM.
25:59
I'm not training away any of my young prospects.
26:01
What I'm doing is I am going to trade off assets that I know
26:06
that if if need be next year, I still have assets in my farm
26:10
system that I can call up because they're quality assets.
26:15
All we know with the Yankees is there's one guy right now that's
26:18
crushing it in AAA and he's not even in the top 100 right now.
26:22
And Brian Cashman is thinking about moving him.
26:24
There were stories coming on the last 24 to 48 hours that the
26:27
Yankees want to move Spencer Jones.
26:29
They would be absolutely out of their minds if they did that.
26:33
Yeah, they would only do that in a package deal for like a big.
26:35
Name. I wouldn't do that, period.
26:36
Yeah, you're only going to get older players.
26:40
You're either going for a top tier closer, right?
26:44
And maybe they do include like a Luke Weaver or a Williams,
26:48
because they can easily both be I.
26:49
Don't think they would have to do that to get Bednar.
26:51
I think you could probably could.
26:52
Do it for less. Well, that's not a top tier
26:53
closer. No, no, I mean Bednar.
26:55
So I would say Bednar and Jansen would probably come off the
26:58
board after Bednar. He's closing for the Angels
27:01
right now. They don't need a closer.
27:03
They're not going anywhere. So I would imagine those two
27:06
guys are going to get moved before the deadline.
27:08
Mason Miller's the big talented guy on a team that's not going
27:11
anywhere. I don't know how long the A's
27:13
are going to be like, yeah, we'll just keep a closer on a
27:15
team that's not winning when we can get a ton of stuff and we
27:17
need a ton of stuff. So that that's the things that I
27:20
see Gallon for them. I think the pit, the starting
27:22
pitching is the real thing. The Mets don't have and job, you
27:25
say this all the time. Like they don't have a dude out
27:27
there right now. Kodai Sanga, you can't, you
27:30
know, we, He started the season. Could you abbreviate what dude
27:33
means? I don't, I, I we wrote it down.
27:36
I don't remember exactly. What?
27:38
It was funny. It's funny.
27:39
But something about being the man, though.
27:42
And for example, the Yankees have the Max Freed right now
27:48
when we go to the playoffs, you know, that guy's the ace taking
27:50
the ball. I don't know if I trust Sanga to
27:53
be that guy. I don't know.
27:54
Manaya hasn't been back long enough.
27:56
I like Manaya, but I don't know if that's enough.
27:58
And plus, you know, lefty, you know, you like having that, but
28:01
I don't know if that's everything.
28:02
And then Peterson's never, you know, gone this deep into the
28:05
season, playing this well before.
28:06
And then you got two guys who you don't trust in Montas and
28:09
Clay Holmes, who Clay Holmes is completely falling apart from
28:12
how he started the season, which we know because he was a closer
28:14
before this year, he was never pitching this amount of innings.
28:17
If you can get move, maybe bundle one of those back end
28:20
guys with some of these prospects.
28:23
The dude out there right now is Joe Ryan.
28:25
Joe Ryan, that's. The best thing I would want them
28:27
to make. I don't know if they will
28:28
though. I if you're going to make a big
28:30
swing gallon. His numbers have been trending
28:33
down for a couple of years. He's really a below average
28:36
pitcher this year. Alcantara doesn't look like the
28:38
same guy. Fish, you said it.
28:39
You said it best. If the Mets have a chance to win
28:42
right now, they haven't won since 1986 and this is the year
28:46
you, if you had a pitcher, you have a chance to get over the
28:49
hump and go to the World Series. Why don't you do it?
28:52
This is your best chance to win. You're right now on your roster.
28:56
If you match your roster against Detroit or the Blue Jays or even
29:00
the Astros, your roster is just as good as any one of them.
29:03
So if you could get out of the National League and you could
29:05
beat the Dodgers or whoever you face off moving forward in the
29:09
playoffs, you have the best chance to win a World Series in
29:13
over, what is it, 2530 years. So.
29:16
Yeah, and and fish to bring up a point too.
29:18
With the way that the Mets have done with their with their
29:20
pitching recently, it's still worth it at the right price to
29:23
even consider one of those types of pitchers.
29:24
Gallon still has better stuff than probably you would think
29:26
that 2024 Luis Severino did coming off his worst year of his
29:30
career too. Like yes, Gallon has trended
29:32
downwards too, as is Alcantara. I'm a little worried about him
29:35
coming back more than I am with Gallon because I think Gallon
29:37
stuff is still aided well, but they don't have enough guys with
29:40
length. So that's the only thing that
29:41
does concern me because even as good as Petersons pitched like
29:45
outside of recently he's had a couple of starts where he's
29:47
provided length. There's not as been a lot of
29:49
those type of things. Probably Merrill Kelly is the 1
29:51
you would think maybe could provide length as a veteran guy.
29:53
Maybe that's the move on that's make.
29:55
Yeah. And as far as the Yankees and
29:57
Errol, you said it, the Yankees aren't going to do the smart
29:59
thing. The smart thing, you know, would
30:01
be, you know, try to get guys for long term contracts if
30:04
you're going to get anybody and try to get rid of your rentals.
30:07
You're absolutely right. That'd be the.
30:08
Smart thing farm system farm system farm system which the.
30:12
But that's not the Yankees. Nothing.
30:13
Nothing they really don't. And that's just been the problem
30:18
forever, right? It's been a problem because we
30:20
mortgage the future. Well hold on one second.
30:22
What was it 2 years ago the Yankees were ranked in the top
30:24
10 when it came to farm systems. For years the Yankees have been
30:27
there, they just haven't drafted very well and they've traded
30:30
away pieces for older players because the Yankees thought they
30:33
can make a run and and now some of those players don't pan out.
30:37
And I know everybody says their prospects.
30:39
Jabba says it best all the time. Prospects are prospects, players
30:42
are players. Dudes are dudes, as he said.
30:46
So to me, I, I think you can't. We don't know what Spencer Jones
30:51
is going to be, but I do believe Spencer Jones is special.
30:55
So what are the Yankees going to do?
30:56
They're going to trade away a special, special player.
30:59
And even though I'll say this about the Yankees, they've had
31:02
guys that we thought were going to be special, they traded away
31:05
and they were garbage, asked the Marlins.
31:07
They've had a couple of those players.
31:08
Nobody said they were the brightest, so.
31:10
I'm just saying I remember. They've had someones.
31:12
They've had someones go the other way though too.
31:14
Yes, so 100. Percent.
31:15
I have a solution for the Yankees, though.
31:17
The Yankees, if they're like I think Bellinger's done well, I
31:20
hope they try to resign them if they're going to keep them,
31:22
which it looks like they're going to do.
31:24
I'm sure he'll get plenty of money, Boris guy, but the and
31:27
they'll have and they'll have the Yankees over a barrel.
31:29
They should move Dominguez. To me, that's the guy who's a
31:33
little over hyped. His defense is not good enough
31:35
to play left field at Yankee Stadium.
31:37
I I think he's going to be a good player.
31:40
But if you're going, you have a bunch of issues with left field.
31:42
If Judge can't play in the outfield, you got to put Stanton
31:45
somewhere right? You're going to have to do
31:48
something about left field and you need a shortstop.
31:50
I'm sorry Volpe is a problem. I got a question for you.
31:54
You sign Bellinger, right? You bring him back.
31:56
Do you move him to first base and then you go after Kyle
31:59
Tucker because you need you need bats in this lineup.
32:02
That's. I think that's the luxury of
32:04
having him. It's like you can go hunt for
32:07
Kyle Tucker. If it pans out, move Belligena
32:09
first. If it doesn't, keep him in the
32:11
outfield. They don't have, they don't have
32:13
enough prospects to say, hey, you know what, we could bring
32:15
this guy up. I mean, obviously Spencer
32:17
Johnson, maybe they move Spencer Jones to first base in the long
32:20
run because some people say, hey, he's a decent outfielder,
32:24
but he'd be better in the infield because of his size and
32:27
his ability to take up space. I do believe you move back if
32:31
you're going to bring Bellinger back and you think that he he's
32:33
going to be there for a while and you think he's being that.
32:36
He's 29 years old, he's got a lot of baseball left, Move him
32:38
to first base. Goldschmidt you don't bring back
32:40
next year and then you go after Kyle Tucker because again, if
32:44
you think Spencer Jones is not going to be ready next year or
32:48
won't be ready till the second-half of the season, they
32:50
cannot go into the season even with this pitching staff as good
32:54
as it seems to be going to the with this with this roster.
32:58
Jazz, Chisholm OK, And you have Volpe as your shortstop.
33:03
And that's another thing the Yankees got to figure out in the
33:05
offseason. What are they doing with that
33:06
shortstop position? Because I don't want to see
33:09
Paraisa. I don't want to see Volpe there
33:10
next year. Who's the other kid?
33:12
Jabba, you say? Lombardo Lombard.
33:15
What's this guy that? Yeah, George, the Yeah, George
33:18
Lombard junior. Lombard, yeah.
33:20
So he he's a guy that could play multiple positions on the
33:23
infield. Maybe you bring him up and see
33:25
what he has, but I don't know if you bring up AI think you I
33:28
don't think you bring up a young player and put him in that
33:31
position where he could fail. What you need to do is bring in
33:33
a veteran defensive player that can give you decent at bats
33:39
because the Yankees, let's be honest, look at the Yankees
33:41
roster right now. Who's hitting?
33:43
You got Chisholm. He's he's been pretty good.
33:46
Bellinger and Judges out, John Carlo, everybody else, Austin
33:51
Wells up and down, Goldschmidt up and down.
33:53
They get no offense from the shortstop position.
33:56
What are they getting from center field up and down with
33:58
Dominguez? I mean, there's not enough,
34:00
there's not a this is the Bronx Bombers and they're not getting
34:03
enough offense. Scary.
34:06
Think about this. The Yankees have always been
34:08
known for their power and their offense this year.
34:11
Not really. Spencer Jones is back from back
34:13
spasms. He went 2 for four in his first
34:15
game, and he's for three. Right now dude, I've.
34:17
Moved moved Dominguez and make room for Spencer Jones.
34:20
Right now they play the same position.
34:21
I don't. I don't hate that.
34:23
What I mean, what do you have? What do you have to lose?
34:26
I mean, yeah, Dominguez can run a little bit better, but you're
34:29
not going to lose anything in the outfield.
34:31
You're going to gain a little bit of juice by just pure luck
34:34
in in what he does. I don't.
34:36
I don't hate that at all. You might get a lot for
34:38
Dominguez and Volpe in a in a deal.
34:41
You might get a decent a really good player and an arm for the
34:44
for the for the team. You know, like at least a
34:46
bullpen arm. I think that there's something
34:49
there they Volpe is might just need a change of scenery and
34:53
Dominguez. I think you cash in on the
34:54
overhype guy that's clogging up, possibly a better player.
34:58
You know what's funny? Kevin says how do we get Abrams?
35:00
Good luck. I mean, the Nationals.
35:03
The Nationals are a stupid organization, so they trade away
35:07
all different kind of players. As we all know, Trey Turner was
35:10
a part of that organization. Who was their * shortstop and
35:13
what do they do to him? They traded him away.
35:16
So the GM gets fired. So I think of an interim guy.
35:18
So I guess you could test him out, but it's still unlike they
35:20
trade a younger player. No, I don't see the Nationals
35:23
have a good young roster. They have a great young player
35:25
in James Wood. I think they, they, they have a
35:28
chance to be really, really good in the long run.
35:30
They got to figure out that pitching staff and that bullpen.
35:34
I mean, they've got some players.
35:35
They got dudes in their farm system.
35:39
We got to see what they're going to turn out to be.
35:40
I, I, I just worry when, when you think about trying to add
35:43
players and spin the wheel, make the deal.
35:45
Oh, the Yankees could get this guy and the Yankees could put a
35:48
little sugar on this and a little salt on this and they
35:51
could turn this into a, you know, $1,000,000.
35:53
I just don't know if the Yankees have that cliche anymore.
35:57
I, I, I know everybody loves the fact that, you know, the
35:59
pinstripes in the Yankees organization has always stood
36:02
out for baseball. But I the cliche of making money
36:05
and and going to play in the Bronx.
36:07
Do you really want to deal with the pressure?
36:09
I mean, how many players have gone there and failed?
36:12
I mean, get there are not many Derek Jeter's out there, Alex
36:15
Rodriguez's OK, or even Aaron Judges.
36:17
But Aaron Judge hasn't done well in the playoffs, so I don't know
36:20
if he could take the pressure. We know Carlos Rodon's up and
36:24
down. Garrett Cole's been pretty good
36:26
in the playoffs. It just it's a hit or miss with
36:28
these guys. And then you got guys like Carl
36:31
Pavano and stuff like guys like that.
36:33
I mean, I mean, that's scary to think about that.
36:36
And when the Yankees overpaid him too.
36:39
So. And then there's guys like Josh
36:41
Beckett that was just unbelievable in the playoffs and
36:43
just absolutely dominant. So I just, to me, what's scary
36:48
about what the where the Yankees are at is nobody in the right
36:53
mind will put themselves in a position to say, hey, I want to
36:57
go to play for the Yankees because I want to win World
36:59
Series, because the Yankees haven't won one in almost 16
37:03
years. So it's not like, remember, the
37:06
Yankees have never gone in a drought this long.
37:08
It usually is 10 years. This is the longest drought.
37:12
The Yankees. This is the longest drought the
37:14
Yankees have ever been in. The longest.
37:16
Just think about that. And we're going on and on.
37:19
And this is another year that the Yankees are going to fall
37:21
short. And I'm sorry, Yankee fans,
37:23
that's what's going to happen. They're going to fall short.
37:25
And where do they go in the offseason?
37:27
Do they overpay for Kyle Tucker? Do they give Bellinger the
37:31
contract to move him to first base?
37:32
They're going to have to do something.
37:34
You can't go into next season with the same roster you have.
37:37
And, and the Mets, I love what the Mets are doing right now.
37:40
I'm not a Mets fan. I root for the Mets because I
37:43
the Mets are the little baby child of the New York Yankees.
37:46
So if the Mets win a World Series this year and bring a
37:49
championship home to New York, I'm not going to scream about
37:51
I'm not going to cry about it. I know Fish is not going to like
37:55
it because as he is a jet hater, he's a Met hater.
37:58
So I don't know if he wants to see the Mets win a World Series
38:01
and and the Mets go saying wear the.
38:03
Mask what we really need to stick it to is is Maddie Capps,
38:08
who for five years since. He was.
38:10
A legend. Called him.
38:11
Called him the garbage from Queens.
38:12
