🕵️♂️ Transcript:
we got breaking news out of Major League Baseball where Paul gold Schmid has agreed to a one-year $ 12.5 million deal with the Yankees that has been confirmed by R Jim Bowden the All-Star first baseman spent the last six years in St Louis tallying 22 homers this past season he’ll join a Yankees team that has been quite active this off season they signed Max freed they traded for Devin Williams and Cody Bellinger we had another trade as well where they traded Jose trino uh for Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson so the Yankee trying to get it done in 2025 for more on the trade we bring in our NB our MLB Insider rather Jim Bowden Jim walk us through how we got here with Paul goldshmid now a Yankee yeah Hil all the the pieces fit perfectly right so once they lost out on Juan stto they went to get Max freed who was the number one free agent on their list so he goes to the rotation then they make the trade for Devin Williams to give themselves an impact closer matter of fact the best closer they’ve had since Mariana Vera and then they made the trade for Cody Bellinger well all of those moves basically blew by the budget so they didn’t have enough money in the budget to make a big move say for a Pete Alonzo or a Christian Walker so instead they identified Paul Goldman who by the way is 37 years old agent decline is catching up on him but this is a leader he’s a Plus+ Defender at first base he’s going to fit the bottom of that lineup in the sixth or seventh spot extremely well they love his leadership skills and they love the fact he’s on a one-year deal now why is that important because free agents like Kyle Tucker and Vladimir Guerrero Jr are two players they’re going to have interested next off season so they wanted to keep flexibility had they signed for example Christian Walker at 34 years old they would have had to give him the three-year deal that Houston did so instead they’re like you know let’s do a one-year deal on Goldie let’s keep our flexibility open for next year’s free agent market and let that leader come in to replace Anthony Rizzo so it’s a it’s a fit that works absolutely perfectly for them Haley so just looking big picture here Jeb because I’m new to baseball but I have learned that Yankees fans are insaciable when it comes to talking about winning a World Series they were this close this past season Jim with the gold Schmid signing along with what they’ve already done already as we take a look here at the notable offseason editions for New York how close are they to getting back to that championship and how can these guys be impact players for the Yankees Haley I’m going to argue this is a better baseball team the one we had last year I think when you look at adding Bellinger gold Schmid freed and Williams those are four huge pieces now don’t get me wrong I mean Juan stto is a generational player and to have him and judge those two guys carry this offense but you can win in different ways and I would argue that this is actually a better team I think they’re starting locationally better come October the bullpen is going to be stronger and look I think Cody Bellinger and Paul goldi both have enough left to help make up at least for the power that they’re losing with Juan stto but Haley they can’t be done because glaber tourus is a free agent they have a hole at second base so I wondered what they’re going to do next so I contacted Aaron Boone the manager of the New York Yankees to ask him that question and he said right now he’s leaning on moving Jazz Chisum from third base to second base to replace Torres and then he’s going to give Cabrera and lameu a chance to kind of platoon at third base basically what they’re saying is now they’re out of money and so that the pieces are all fit but that last piece on the infield means that jazz goes the second Cabrera and lameu are going to try to take over Third Base but we know the Yankees because if that doesn’t work and a better opportunity comes around we all know they’ll make that one more move like they always do Haley some just a little bit of musical chairs there to figure it out until the finances get lined up there hey Jim and I know we talked before we came up but Nolan Aron has been a name that’s been floating around within the Yankees organization you told us that there’s no truth to that report of him being a Yankee just could you expand a little bit on what we’re looking at with Nolan arado the third baseman yeah the Yankees were never really in on Aeron outside of the fact that they offered Marcus strowman to the Cardinals in other words bad contract for bad contract uh and the Cardinal said we have no interest in strowman so that situation came and went uh Aeron is not going to be the next solution for the New York Yankees in the infield as I just said but the the only truth to that rumor was that hey if you take the bad contract of strowman we’ll take the bad contract of Aeron the Cardinal said thanks but no thanks and that happened a couple of months ago it actually happened before the winter meetings yeah it’s just always a little bit of telephone you got to decide if it works best for us and what works best for you I do not envy any of those front office managers having to deal with building a roster uh we continue that conversation though with the Yankees Jim because it seems like the first basement spot the market for that position really driv up except for the polar bear Pete Alonzo in high demand we know what he is capable of on the diamond gym what’s the latest you’re hearing with Pete Alonzo yeah Haley I I think the Boris corporation’s overplaying their hand with Pete Alonzo there’s no market for him I Houston ends up signing Christian Walker to that threeyear $60 million deal on Friday now the New York Yankee side Paul goldi to that oneyear 122.5 million deal the only other team that really needs a first basement at this point besides the Mets are the Seattle Mariners and I’m told are not playing on Alonzo because they just don’t have the resources to sign them so if if I’m the porest corporation I’m Pete Alonzo I’m going to put my tail between my legs go back to the Mets and say I accept the last offer you put on the table I am going to be shocked and surprised and stunned if the polar bear doesn’t end up going back to the Mets and sooner rather than later I don’t think he has any options at this point and I think the Mets are the best option and he’s going to have to take less money now the question’s going to be does the won a long-term contract with the Mets does he want to take their last offer or does he want to do what a lot of Boris clients do which is take a two-year deal with an opt out and go back on the market next off season so you and I Haley can talk about again next year exactly it never ends it’s just cyclical especially when you think about uh spring training literally being around the quarter our Jim Bowden keeping us up to date with all the latest in the MLB including this breaking news Paul Goldman officially a New York Yankee un for it does not move the needle in terms of the Yankees being the favorite to win the World Series they currently have the second shortest odds at plus 750 it is the Dodgers who are favored at here at plus 320 to repeat as champions [Music]
