uh shout out to you man the Yankees have signed left-handed pitcher Max freed on an eight-year deal worth 218 million that is pending a physical but the Yankees have struck and the Yankees struck very quickly so you know they didn’t to wait long um you know it’s I think it’s a I think it’s a good pickup it’s going to solidify their their starting rotation um this good pitching I like it left-handed pitcher so let’s see what the Yankees do next I know they were in conversations with uh Christian Walker so um and yeah L I agree Max freed under 30 million is disgustingly great 27 aav give me that all day all day yes yes yes yes F the chat again hit that hit that like hit that subscribe share this channel out make sure you all subscribe to the for train express as well my boy Mikey Mao over here but Maza talk to us man what how do you feel about this signing like how are you feeling do you feel how confident how confident do you feel with the Yankees making more sightings man onean who this was massive this was massive the Yankees needed to answer back and guess what that’s exactly what they did they just stole the Braves best pitcher and quite frankly it was a fantastic sigic for 27 million over eight years I am taking that all day every day absolutely massive this is what we needed it’s going to be a nice slot behind Cole pushes rodon to the number three I love it yeah I do especially love the fact that you know assuming assuming that um assuming that that’s the case that Fred is going to be the number two guy in the rotation I I will welcome that all day if they do put um uh rodone in the number three spot um I you know what sign me up man sign me up that’s gonna put that’s GNA put less pressure on a guy like uh Carlos rone and I think he he’ll Thrive well on in the uh the number three spot yeah absolutely um I’m going to just say a quick thing before I get out of here yeah but I just wanted to say that this Max for each signing sets them up even better because now they can go out they wanted to sign Corbin Burns they could if not and they wanted to go out and get Kyle Tucker by all means go do it but now they are in a much better position than they were 24 hours ago so I love it it’s a great move it’s really nice to see pivot quickly and get it done and like I said Juan who we don’t need that we got what we needed yeah um you know P pitching seems to be the thing the big thing that they were focusing on they got their guy they got Max freed on an eight-year Deal $218 million deal um you know uh sign me up man sign me up and let’s see what El let’s see what else the Yankees do I know they were in some talks with Christian Walker um hopefully you know hopefully we hear we hear some other news so folks yeah and uh shout out to David Cohen real quick for the 199 Super Chat thank you so much he’s asking do you do we trade uh strowman or Cortez I’d say trade both if you’re gonna trade if one of them gets traded it’s gonna be it’s gonna be strowman before Cortez yeah that that’s yeah I one one of those guys is getting traded if not one of those guys um you know both of them could get traded and uh you know let’s see let’s see what happens there’s other Rumblings around around Nolan Aron right now saying that he is open to going to a winning team and he’s willing to um you know he wants to go to a winning team he’s willing to wave his no trade clause so the Yankees have been mentioned in that conversation so um you know let’s see what other moves that the Yankees make and hold that note um I’d sent the bat signal to my boy and he has answered the bad signal you ready to go bro let’s do it all right my boy my guy Hector man what’s going on man chilling man chilling man here you know work in the lobby at the winter meetings it just broke I know you guys are already talking about it eight years but for the past hour right it was rumored that the Yankees were or the offer was at seven years not sure if it was just the Yankees or the Red Sox or whoever else but it seems like the Yankees came in at the last moment and threw in that extra year with a little bit of extra money as well so they’re not playing now no they’re not playing they are not playing there Hector and I appreciate you jumping on uh and letting and kind of filling Us in um are you H H how are things going in Texas man tell us about your experience with the winter meetings man let um talk to us a little bit about that uh it’s it’s first of all you know I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to be on a live stream where Mikey Maza is showing up his armpit in his kitchen you know I miss my guy Mikey ma shout out Mike um no but the experience has been awesome bro um meeting so many different people um Jeff passon John Haymon a lot of the guys that we grew up watching or listening to as young Baseball fans right Joe Surman um Andy Martino um these guys are amazing Bob Nightingale Bob Nightingale he has the the battery of a college frat boy Bob Nightingale is hilarious um no it’s it’s a great time again meeting different people I I was able to meet Billy Martin Sun had a conversation with him Billy Martin Sun works as an agent um so he was here with his player I was able to talk to him it it’s just been great man networking different people um it’s just great good man I’m I’m I’m very glad and I’m glad you got the opportunity to go out there and do your thing um you’re that great for you man I’m I’m very happy for you and Maza I know you gotta head out here pretty soon so um yeah anything else you want to say before you leave no man I’m just happy to about the max fre signing yeah the max freed signing is um fantastic that was sorry sorry my my my internet’s a bit wonky because I guess everybody’s on it right now sorry no you’re all good you’re all good um as far as yeah as far as like other bats go Hector or other players I mean are you what are what are you hearing since you’re out there I mean I figured I’d ask yeah from from the from who I’ve been talking to um obviously everything has been off the record for most of it but the priority was Max freed after after the Juan sto uh uh contract signing with the Mets the Yankees PRI prioritize Max free um when it comes to starting pitching and once the max free domino Falls then you start hearing the rumbles about are the Yankees going to trade for Cody Bellinger are the Yankees GNA sign Christian W now those gears start moving right so after the Juan stto Fiasco the Yankees wanted to make their number one priority was Max free to make sure they had a ace to go behind gar Co then adding on to the offense all right all right so as far as we know we know the Yankees need a bat maybe two bats right um obviously uh first base is a need you know Christian Walker’s name has been mentioned a lot um there was some talks of them talking with the Cubs about trading for Cody Bellinger uh what’s has there been any progress being made on that or what what’s going on with that the initial Monday was like the official first day um even though I was here Sunday but on Monday at the beginning of the day everyone’s Focus was Cody Bellinger everybody’s Focus was Cody Bellinger Cody Bellinger Cody Bellinger and then it started shifting towards tasar Hernandez and then after um the general manager and manager from the Astros spoke there was a sense that the Astros are are are trying to hit the reset button right so KY tuck is going to be a free agent after this upcoming season so that’s a guy that they look to unload to try to get something back as they go into like a transitional period even though they would they were solid this past year they started off slow and they caught fire I’m not sure if they’re convinced that they could re uh replicate what they did last year in the second half yeah yeah I I mean there there’s like all sorts of news and stories coming out rumors coming out I mean this is what happens during the winter meetings I’m just happy that uh you know we’re start things are starting to heat up right that hot s is heating up and um you know I’m glad the Yankees struck you know they struck right away after stto signed with the Mets I’m glad that they um didn’t wait around and they just they went right into it so um let’s see you know let’s see what happens I’m glad that they got freed but I’m curious to see if they’re going to be able to you know if they’re in if they’re in talks with Chicago about training for Bellinger if they’re going to sign Christian Walker you know I know those two names have been heavily mentioned I mean Kyle Tucker man how awesome would that be if they were be able to trade for Kyle Tucker there Hector if if you’re trading with Kyle Tucker first of all if you’re trading for a player like Kyle Tucker he’s gonna demand more back in return than Cody Bellinger because Cody Bellinger it’s a salary dump he has some injury history so I’m not sure if you could try to maximize the most you can get out of him the one one person that I spoke to here and they brought up a name that I know most Yankee fans not going to want to trade and it wasn’t Jason Dominguez it was Luis Hill because the Astros they want starting pitching back and whatever trade they make with for Cal Tucker so you got to ask yourself Yankee fans are you willing to trade Luis Hill and send them to the Houston Astros and face him over the next four to five potentially six years if that more you that’s a question you got to ask yourself um if you’re if you’re willing to trade Luise Hill you would rather trade him to a team in the National League preferably in the west coast so you don’t have to see him that much if you got to bite the bullet trade him but I’m somebody that I don’t want to give up on Luis Hill he just won the AL rookie of the Rookie of the Year the first Yankee starting pitcher to win the Rookie of the Year since the 80s so I’m not giving up on Hill yeah I I do agree with you on that one man as much as I do love uh Kyle Tucker this is we also have a a good pitch a great pitcher in Luis Hill like you said he won Rookie of the Year um I don’t know if I’m able if I’m ready to part ways with him I I I don’t know if I’m if I’m ready man because he was a big contributor in that starting rotation especially during gar Cole’s absence and um I I think things are you know I I think with him being in the rotation you need him in that rotation especially with the with the addition of Max freed shout out shout out to my guy my guy future just text me right now he’s like I’m watching The Stream let’s go yes future shout out to my guy future in the chat Out Future shout out to everybody who’s in the building also smack the like button for my brother hit the

got to take that first step as you know it’s it’s all about taking that first step so and I’m loving the background behind you man it just seems very um it just seems very active it seems very Lively right now in in uh in Dallas Texas yeah I’m actually um I’m going live at 5:30 with Grace over on Uptown sports TV I’ll send you the link if you’re free if you’re done with your stream you’re more than welcome to jump on I was like I spent the like last hour trying to figure out where am I going to go live from I think I’m at the perfect spot right now so thank you NF for helping me figure this out yeah anytime bro that’s what I’m here for just to help people uh figure out where to go live so no no but I want to ask you bro what’s your thoughts on the on the max free signing like adding an extra Ace to appear next to Gar Cole now you got two guys at the top of your rotation that’s if they’re healthy that’s the question it could be a formidable onew Punch Yeah I mean the way I see it is hey you know you couldn’t you couldn’t sign Juan sto then hey let’s let’s beef up that pitching and I I think um I think getting a starting I think getting a starting pitcher was um necessary even with Juan stto even let’s just say if the Yankees did sign Juan sto Hector I still said that the Yankees could can use a a starter um because I I I wasn’t feeling comfortable going in with the starting rotation um with uh with this current rotation that they had before they added freed so no I I’m I’m I’m in agreeance with you um sorry if if my service get a little bit choppy I’m about to walk to a place like the the the the service is like dead I gotta go grab my bag but no um I’m with you uh when you look at Max free and Corbin burns when you when you try to weigh out which one would you rather Trust on this type of deal I’d rather trust Max freed right both both Burns and Max fre is some injury concerns but when you look at free his injuries have been more of blisters right an oblique issue that he had if I’m not mistaken so it’s not an elbow it’s not a shoulder problem it’s more just just random injuries that come um here and there so I like Corbin Burns I wish him the best I just I just feel that Corbin Burns he’s been declining a little bit on his stats over the past three years his walk rate has been up strikeout rate has been down the velocity on his fast ball it started a fall down as well I’d rather just trust Max freed knowing that his injuries are in elbow or show the related facts yeah no facts and I’m I’m happy with the max fre signing I I really am I’m glad the Yankees got him question now is you know um do the Yankees trade either anesta Cortez or Marcus strowman do they do they trade either uh both of those guys if if you’re trading either one of them it’s not going to be to the Cubs because the Cubs they’re trying to do a fire cell like the like the Marlins um they’re not trying they aren’t from what heard again I’m not in the front office or anything like that from what from what I heard it’s you know they’re not willing to take back any contracts they’re just trying to unload whatever contracts they have on the books so for Yankee fans that thought hey we could call out the Cubs and send them DJ lameu or Marcus strowman and bring back Cody Bellinger that that that’s not a reality right yeah yeah I’m I’m just wondering now like with the addition of Max freed to the rotation what they’re going to do with that rotation what’s going to happen with Marcus strowman what’s going to happen with Nester Cortez uh I’m curious to I’m curious to see one of those guys need I mean they got to get traded I feel like it’s kind of in inevitable that it needs to that needs to happen no it’s it’s it’s definitely GNA happen it’s just it’s not a question of if it’s a question of when right is it going to happen sooner rather than later now that the Yankees signed Max freed I you know I I think the next move that would to happen if I was to put money down on it is a bat what kind of bat I’m not sure right I think that I think they add a bat first before trading Marcus strowman or Nessa Cortez or if they add a bat while trading either one of the two that’s another possibility also yeah I think now you know uh they got Max freed I think like you said they’re gonna get a bat I that’s going to be their next move I I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Christian Walker because that name has been heavily talked about and S and the Yankees have had conversations with him so um I could see maybe like a like a three-year deal maybe or two or three year deal for for uh for Christian Walker is what I’m imag is what I’m you know predicting what do you think uh I I would say that yes yesterday right but seeing that the Yankees they gave Max free I thought Max would be six years they gave Max fre a eight-year deal so yesterday probably a three-year deal would have been reality for for Christian Walker now that we’re living in this present post Max freed I think I think it’ll probably be a 5year deal for Christian bringing him to age 38 I mean 35 yeah 38 yeah because he’s going to be he’s 34 He’s 33 right now he’s 33 turn 34 during the season right right right and you know I when uh when the whole Max freed uh conversation was was was uh happening um I said seven years at 200 million so that’s I saying s but it went 28 for eight and I’m like all right you know 27 million aav they it was under 30 million so that’s not a bad that’s that’s not a bad deal and especially when you look at like he’s he’s making the same amount of money that Carlos rodone is making yeah literally the same so that that’s not a bad deal and and that’s what it is now look look what Marcus strowman is making 188 million but he still gives you 150 Innings this is the new market for starting pitching oh it it is it is and uh real quick I do want to shout out referee 583 because he did buy me three coffees so referee 583 thank you so much man I just got a notification on that you’ve been big supporter of mine so um shout out to you man thank thank you so much andf I’m about to dip off because I’m about to go set up for the live stream

I I get it I understand but you know it’s um unfortunately it’s baseball unfortunately it’s a business so you know not a not a um not a whole lot we can do CT cards that’s whatever man but um yeah let you know let’s see what the next move is going to be is the next move going to happen uh is it gonna is it gonna happen tomorrow and let me see if there is anything any updates to the max free deal we know it’s eight years 218 million it is pending a physical um doesn’t say anything about opt outs or anything like that but we’ll see if something like that happens and shout out to Joel Coletti for being a member of the strike zone for four months so thank you Joel so much for your continued support you are the man um thank you so much yeah no Soo couldn’t um afford the trillion dollar couch and if he did ask for my couch in that Yankees negotiation I would have said no so if I say no to soo I’m saying no to the rest of [Laughter] you so there you go but um you know there’s there’s been a lot of moves though right um around baseball World the Blue Jays they resigned uh yimy Garcia to a two-year deal worth $15 million um the rockie signed Tyro Estrada you know Tyro Estrada former former New York Yankee uh estan floral is going to go play for the Hana Eagles in the kbo the white socks signed Michael or Mike talkman so um some some some activity going on around baseball World so um but yeah Joel freed NE freed uh next is Walker or Tucker uh man if they if they were to get Tucker I oh my God sign me up man sign me up and um I would I would love to I I would love if thean were able to uh trade for Kyle Tucker and if they could sign him to an extension even better and you know Hector was in here earlier he asked if um you know if anybody would sign uh or anybody would trade Luis Hill right I I don’t know if if it’s gonna take like a Lis Hill but would you trade a Lis Hill for uh for a Kyle Tucker and I you know I was looking at the comments I know a couple of you have said that um that you know if if if Tucker was to sign an extension that makes it a little bit more um you know it’s a little more tempting but I don’t want to trade Luis Hill I do not want to trade Luis Hill personally so you know the Yankees could wait for Kyle Tucker to hit free agency who knows I wouldn’t man personally I I I wouldn’t I don’t know that I would he he was an important piece in that rotation he got he got rookie of the year um you know especially in Cole’s absence he was he was absolutely killing it so um I don’t know that I I I want to trade Luis Hill there Joel what about you yeah D Rod saying only way to trade tuck for Tucker have an extension I mean it’s it makes it a little bit more tempting no doubt uh you would trade Schmidt before Hill yeah I’m kind of with you on that I’m kind of with you on that um I’m kind of with you on that so Joel you would okay understood I understand you know um it’s not something I would do personally but if other folks feel that way if um they would they’re not going to do Cortez man there is no way they’ll I mean I listen I would do Cortez for Tucker all day all night every day like I would make that trade but it’s not going to Happ happen they they won’t they won’t do Cortez for uh Tucker there’s no way all right and Jonathan filling Us in here Joel Sherman uh so freed received a full no trade clause the contract has no opt outs or defs interesting okay so he’s got a full node trade clause I hate the full node trade clause but hey you know sometimes that’s what it takes to get a deal done um but interesting that there are no opt outs or def I mean deferrals I wasn’t expecting deferrals I’m not surprised about that but I I expected maybe a deferral but then again he is 31 years old so we have that we got to take that into consideration and uh referee my man he’s been a member for three months shout out to you uh he says Yankees could get Robert uh Luis Junior from Chicago White Socks yeah um L yeah there Luis Roberts yeah that that’s a name that um has been mentioned by Yankees fans do they do they go after him um I don’t know you know I I I don’t I don’t see it personally I could see a trade for Cody Bellinger um do I see a trade for Kyle Tucker I don’t see it happening but maybe maybe we’ll be surprised maybe the Yankees will surprise us but we’ll we’ll just have to we’ll just have to wait and see you know so um but right now I’m just happy that the Yankees made a move and they made a great move in signing um in signing Max freed I’m I’m very very happy about that move so um good good for the Yankees a good solid starting pitcher so good for NF I mean his you’re not gonna you’re gonna have to give up a lot man I don’t come cheap uh I I believe so yeah I believe he’s got some injury issues no doubt man so I think um yeah you know I don’t know if the Yankees I know they got I know they got uh Max freed who’s had injuries in the past but um you know but to me I think I think I think I think he’ll be fine you know if you sign Walker and get Bellinger they can wait for Tucker next off season right yeah they could they could do that they could do that but if they if they get the thing is if they get Bellinger right and if they put him if they put him in the Outfield um he does have a player option after the 2025 season he could opt back in I mean How likely can they get I mean How likely would it be that they would go after Kyle Tucker in the in the in free agency what’s up Ken how’s it going yeah I mean if Dominguez is going to be your starting outfielder he’s probably going to be um yeah he should be in center field uh judge is gonna play right field that’s what it’s looking like as of right now um that’s what Brian Cashman said that judge is probably gonna be moving back to to right field and that makes perfect sense uh it makes perfect sense um I I I like judging rightfield I do okay not that he’s plays bad in center field but I’m more comfortable with him playing right so um but I think he hates being in Chicago that’s part of the reason are you talking about Luis Robert Jr yeah that that could be it I mean that could be that could be the case I I just don’t know if the Yankees are looking into um somebody like him or trading baller with one year left is easier keep him and have Tucker and belly together in the outfield for one year I feel that but [Music] then what happens with judge what happens with Dominguez like what happens with those guys oh yeah I mean if Bellinger has a big year I mean absolutely let him walk I mean for sure then you know you could go after you could go after a a a Kyle Tucker right but the qu the question question is though are you know if the Yankees were to trade for Bellinger would they would they put him at first base or would would they put him in the Outfield I mean he plays both I mean I would imagine the way things are progressing right now during this during this uh offseason with the winter meetings it sounds like the Yankees are in some uh deep talks with um you know with with with Christian Walker it sounds like they’re you know it sounds like I don’t know if they’re how close they are in getting a deal done but um something it sounds like something is in the works they’re negotiating they’re talking um they’re talking and there has been some talks about about Cody Bellinger as well so I know there’s some teams that are probably that are besides the Yankees that are interested in Cody Bellinger so um you know let’s let’s see what happens but yeah he is better in the Outfield but the fact of the matter is the fact that he could play um first base I mean uh it is it is it is um reassure it is good to know you know so you know the Yankees do have a need at first base so um let you know let let’s see what they do for first base I mean let we’re gonna we’re gonna find out sooner or later so uh judge rightfield Bellinger center field Tucker left field for one year have Dominguez as fourth outfielder and for injury backup all right I mean okay okay okay I know a lot of fans probably would be pissed about that because you know having Dominguez as a fourth outfielder and he’s not getting playing time I I could I that’s what I’m envisioning my head but I’m not I’m not opposed to this drod Bellinger Hey listen I’d be down bregman I’m I’m passing on bregman sorry has anything been mentioned about bone recently I mean other than the fact that um the c or not the Cubs but the Phillies want to trade him um it sounded like there would there might have been teams interested but no teeth right now there’s there’s nothing there’s nothing really about Alec bone at the moment yeah I don’t I don’t the Yankees I don’t think are interested in bregman they’re they’re not going to go after bregman yeah yeah well domingue Dominguez is 20 or I thought he was like 21 either way he’s still young you know Nolan Aron honestly Shan Browning I’m not really I’m not interested man I’m I’m really not interested in Nolan Aron um I know he said he was willing to open the play in first base um you know if the yeah I’m not really for training for Nolan Aon the time to get him was back in 2018 I mean look if the Yankees got him would I be upset I wouldn’t be upset but he’s not he’s not really like for me personally my personal opinion like I’m not he’s not really on the top of my list if I’m being honest but um just trying to see if there’s any other tweets or from Jeff passing but nothing yet I mean as far as Yankee stuff Yankees news goes but nothing yet offer Jones and Hampton to White for Robert to the white sock for Rob okay yeah again I don’t know if the Yankees are looking at Luis Robert Jr but um you know he could he could be a possibility so eight years 218 million uh a full no trade clause there are no op outs there are no deferrals that’s the details on the max free trade so yeah they they they really did man uh yeah they really they really did have an opportunity to um get arado during that at that at that time they didn’t but you know I would I would have loved him on the on the Yankees yeah I mean it’s a it is a good it was a good it was a good um it was a good deal for the Yankees right I mean uh 27 million 27 million a year aav so you know that’s around what Carlos rone is getting paid so you know they they got him on a on a good deal you know under under 30 which was you know again I’ll take it yeah Fred is 30 I thought he was like 31 but yeah he’s in his 30s let’s just say that he is in his 30s so well we we’re we’re gonna we’re gonna find out soon enough we’re gonna find out if he’s able to pitch in New York any any player that signs with the Yankees that’s always the big question will they be able to play in New York will they able to be able to perform in New York we don’t know we don’t know but we’re g we’re going to find out sooner or later so let’s see let’s see what he can do I’m I’m again I’m ecstatic that they that they got him that the Yankees signed him uh they I I’ve been saying that they needed to sign a starting pitcher they need to add somebody to that rotation so um you know I’m I’m glad I’m glad the Yankees got their guy and I and I was saying this even if the if the Yankees did sign Juan sto I was saying that they absolutely needed to um sign for a uh a a starting pitcher so I’m glad they got him you’d be thrilled with a trade for bone and Tucker yeah I don’t I don’t think the Yankees are gonna go in on B on Alec bom Tucker I can see but I don’t know I I personally see Kyle Tucker probably finishing the season out finishing 2025 as a Houston Astro and then he’s gonna he’s going to test a test a free agent market and he’s going to get he’s going to get a Payday that guy is going to get a Payday there there’s there’s no doubt about that yeah probably you’re you’re you’re right you’re probably right there D Rod um Matt Blake probably had a big part in that signing um I’m sure they you know the Yankees uh you know Brian Cashman Aaron Boone probably had a conversation with him about asking what what they think about signing a guy like Max freed and you know I’m sure it matches up well yeah you know listen I like ground ball pitchers I know I know some folks are talking about you know ground ball and strikeout guys listen if if you could get the opposing team to ground out fine by me fine by me strike them out ground them out pop them out I I don’t care so long as as long as you’re getting the opposing team out that’s all I care about there was something mentioned I forgot who mentioned it it might have been Ken um I think he’s got a little bit of a character issue or like an attitude problem or something I’m not sure though also I I I think he did um I think he did he he did kind of collapse in the second half of the season your guess is just as good as mine D Rod I don’t know yeah exactly just get them out exactly I don’t care yeah I don’t care if you’re a ground ball guy if you’re if you’re a um if you’re a strikeout guy just get him out get the opposing get the just get the opposing batters out on the other team so that that’s that’s all I care about you know so yeah but but yeah let me know folks um let me know in the chat how happy you are with the signing are do you agree with the deal that was given out to um to Max freed are you are you happy with 210 for 210 million for eight years which is 27 million a year um are you all happy with with that signing would you have done something different all right um how how happy are you with the signing are you happy with Max freed are you happy with the contract that the Yankees gave them let me know in the chat so and again we’re almost we’re about 45 minutes into the live stream so uh shout out to everybody in the chat M uh make sure again you all hit that like button hit that subscribe share this channel out with everyone you know uh let’s continue you growing this channel so yeah let don’t don’t remind me man yeah I’m happy they did something too and I’m happy they they responded quick you know I’m happy they responded quick after not being able to sign stto um I’m happy that they responded quick so you know good good for good for the Yankees and Jacob petruzzi what is going on Jacob how are you doing so Jerry McDonald says everyone wants to leave Houston I wonder why yeah a lot better than 7 765 million I mean yeah you know they didn’t have to it’s a it’s a big difference so you know that you know the Yankees still can spend more money now and sign additional players so even bregman I mean I think bregman is open to going back to Houston uh Houston did make a $156 million offer but he wasn’t down for it he wants he wants something he wants like 200 million that’s what he’s looking for so yeah Max freed yeah I I was happy with the max freed signing um he was definitely on the list of pitchers that I wanted the Yankees to go after I had some other uh names on that list but and Fred was one of them and I’m glad I’m glad they got got him Yanks Astros trade for Tucker one of the stipulations that Cashman can’t use the words cheat and yeah I mean I I you know I know I know um I know cashman’s made a comment about it um about the whole cheating thing during the season but what’s done is done it’s over you know nothing you can nothing you could do about it now so but yeah folks that’s the that’s the news right now though hey Yankee Kyle what’s up uh NF that’s a huge shoot in the arm for the New York Yankees it is man it is I’m glad they I’m glad they made it happen you know I’m glad the uh I’m glad the Yankees struck you know know there was report obviously the Cashman was supposed to talk with the MLB Network and he and a few minutes before he was supposed to go live canceled it and said hey something is going on and I’m like okay something’s cooking and um you know and here we are you know about three four hours later and Max free signs with the Yankees so you know let’s see let’s see what’s going to be uh the next move and Rodney I am not pulling up that [Music] comment oh my God dirty dirty but yeah let’s see I’m I’m trying to see if there’s anything else yeah nothing at the moment there folks but yeah the the Blue Jays are gonna acquire Andre gimenez that was that news broke out while I was live and it says that infielder Spencer Horwitz is among the players heading back to Cleveland so interesting oh man Rob if they got Corbin Burns holy smokes but I think after this Max free signing I I don’t I don’t know about um about them getting Burns but if they did get Corbin Burns that would be massive that would be freaking massive holy smokes yeah they need some hitters they need they need to get they need to get um you know a couple of bats you know so we’ll we’ll see if that’s um you know is that Christian Walker is that Cody Bellinger is that both is it Kyle Tucker I mean there’s a lot there’s a lot of names being mentioned so hey what’s up Dobby saying the 2017 Aaron judge could have been the first MVP and Rook of the Year winner that is what the Astros took away from us along the World Series appearance yeah yeah I mean nothing we could do about it now though unfortunately Tanner Scott man if the Yankees could get tanner Scott uh that would be massive the uh could could they get tanner Scott definitely um because Brian Cashman did say that he is not committed to he didn’t he’s not necessarily committed to Luke Weaver being the closer so they could look into a guy like Tanner Scott yeah Bullpen is next the bullpen is going to get addressed but I think I think next uh the next thing that’s going to get addressed is a bat uh it’s going to be an it’s going to be on the offense did the Mets get Laisa really and they’re taking all the old Yankees players aren’t they ryson Dominguez to Seattle for George Kirby man I hate to see Dominguez go though I’m not seeing anything about L uh oh wow okay so another breaking news so three years 27 or 28 million good luck staying healthy yeah laa can never stay healthy holes money will will pay for Scott next year [Laughter] mhm oh man that that must be painful strowman perza Pereira for Bellinger and Suzuki yeah I don’t know if the Yankees want I don’t know if the Yankees want um Suzuki though Yankees are in on Scott Carlos Estes who’s who who Who’s your sources you saw it on a few sites but okay is there anybody on X like Jeff passon or anybody reporting this or even John Hayman anybody there just checking to see yeah not seeing anything H yeah 9 million year for Laisa yeah you’re going to pay for pitching you’re gonna you know the P pitching comes at a premium and you’re going to you’re going to pay sometimes you’re GNA overpay so Devin Williams right yeah I’m not seeing anything on Leisa either so from what you’re hearing the Yankees have about 40 million more to spend comfortably so if they’re going to spend 40 million more they’re I mean yeah Christian Walker signing perhaps maybe Tanner Scott um they’ll probably be active in the trademark though so all right Sean we’ll see you later have a good day have a good night at work so yeah Devin Williams yeah I know I know uh Yankees have um Yankees could look into him I think he’s only um I think he’s only on team he’d be he’d be a year a one-year rental I think for de Devin Williams according to Andy Martino mat still talking to Jonathan Laisa multiple teams want him and he’s seeking multiple years got it okay okay yeah five years I wouldn’t do five years for for uh Walker I’m I’m right there with you there Joe I mean if he is demanding more than three the most I would go for it would be four but um I’m I’m not yeah I’m I’m right there with you Josh Naylor I’m I’m passing on Josh Naylor Dobby let me get this let me get this light turned on real quick sorry getting a little dark in my my area so uh left field I mean that’s a that’s a question mark right now so you know are they are the Yankees have been in talks with you know tasar Hernandez I mean do they sign tasar Hernandez or you know do they trade for Kyle Tucker is Pro far part of the um is is he in any kind of conversation amongst the Yankees front front office I did see that yeah I saw that gold Schmid she on a cheap oneye deal I mean they could they could uh entertain that yeah I I did read that I heard that uh rooki Sasaki does not want to be playing for a large Market team um he prefers smaller Market apparently he with the Japanese press I guess he had a me kind of like a mental breakdown um or you know things affected him mentally but I don’t know if the Yankees made him an offer he can’t refuse would he would he turn it down you know the Yankees are definitely going to check in um they’re going to do their due diligence you know like they always do with all the free agents and they’re going to check in with teams and seeing if any players are available you know but but yeah you know the like I said the Yankees struck they um you know they and they they struck well you know I’m glad they I’m glad they got their guy in in Max freed so when the angels are interested in a player they aren’t doing much Hicks any So speaking of the Angels actually the angels are um looking they they were looking to trade one of their outfielders I I believe his name was Taylor Ward if I’m not mistaken and yeah Taylor Ward apparently the the angels are looking to trade him you know he plays The Outfield do do the Yankees explore a trade with the angels now I don’t know what teams are in but the they are they are looking they are looking to trade um Taylor Ward the the Los Angeles Angels so um let’s let’s see what happens but yeah just trying to see if there’s any other just trying to see if there’s any other deals going on right now or if any any new news might see hear some more news tonight talks are getting louder with Walker what what are you hearing Joe talk to us man what are you hearing yeah yeah the Braves I mean they are pretty big Major League they are Major League Baseball Market a big one for sure uh they are a big MLB Market you’re right about that um maybe not as big as New York but they’re they’re still pretty big I’m right there with you there drod but yeah Joe what what are you hearing with uh Christian Walker you’re saying talk getting louder what what what’s what’s going on but I’m hoping uh the Yankees are interested I’m sure there’s other teams that are interested as well uh but the Yankees are apparently they’re they’re interested intense negotiations uh well they they either for first base or the or the or the Outfield I know they the Yankees were interested in Cody Bellinger in trading for him but yeah what will the Cubs want in return for Bellinger I mean that that’s a good question well yeah I mean I see Roki Sasaki in I I see him staying out west maybe a team like the Padres I could I could see that I know he’s um he’s supposed to be good friends with uh U darish so I could see him being playing for San Diego or something he stays out west that’s what I think but yeah but uh sorry just check just checking to see if there’s like other news go going um out there if there’s other U baseball news coming out but there there’s nothing right now so um nothing at the moment MLB network is talking about Walker right now what are they saying Bill what what’s what’s uh what’s being said right now yeah I know the Red Sox they’re trying to they’re they’re interested in Dylan CE so Joel Sherman is saying he wouldn’t be surprised Walker in a trade for Bellinger oo that would be that would be a Yan thing right there man yeah and beef up the bullpen right if they get Walker yeah they definitely have to beef up that Bullpen like I said if the Yankees got Tanner Scott that that would be that would be awesome and you add that with Luke Weaver and um and and cousins you know yeah that that would be a killer bu right there they say the Yankees are looking at Walker okay are they are they saying anything anything about um if they’re close or if or if they’re like close to negotiations are they are they nearing a deal or how far apart are they in negotiations anything like that there guys let’s try this again Andre simz and reliever Nick sandin going to Blue Jays uh Spencer hor Horwitz part of the return for Guardians it’s all good so okay so Salin and jimnez so they got a they got themselves a good infielder and they got sanin uh they got some pitching back okay okay it’s a good move for the Blue Jays better Bullpen rotation in defense so Soto’s going to regret leaving us only time will tell yeah I mean I’m I’m right there you know like you know drod four years I think is I’m I’m right there with you but right now it’s just you know with with this Market that’s probably what it’s going to demand I’d rather give Walker if they’re gonna if the Yankees are gonna sign Walker I’d rather give I’d rather the Yankees give him a three-year deal but it might it might have to take four years to sign this guy they only talk about Walker they say the Yankees have to thread the needle okay yeah he might be a four or fiveyear deal I’d rather sign him to a four-year deal um like you know I know when Hector was on here Hector was saying it might have to take five and I and I understand I get that but I’d rather sign him if it was I want him three years but if it it might end up being four so Lou I like that one I like that one the a three years and an option for a fourth yeah you know what I could get behind that I could definitely get behind that yeah I I I do like that yeah I don’t know who I don’t know who else is I mean they could Bellinger would be the guy then if it’s not um Walker I mean I understand he was on the iil for the last two years but you know the Yankees are gonna the Yankees are gonna go either the trade route for first baser they’re going to they’re going to sign a guy like Walker they’re going to go the cheap route I mean you could sign a you could sign Santana to to just like a one-year deal you know because right they do need a first baseman and I’m not you know I’m not going to go into I don’t want the Yankees going into 2025 with with a DJ lahu or um or uh you know Oswaldo Cabrera you know what I mean that’s that’s not what I that’s not what I would want yeah Santana to a one-year deal as a stop Gap and then try to go after mirami yeah and Ben rice I mean he’s he’s not ready that’s clear as day I mean it’s nothing against Ben rice that he but he’s he’s definitely not ready so but yeah folks I mean that’s that’s what we got you know that’s what we got um there’s no other updates at the moment um just checking one more time well yeah I mean we I don’t know what ri’s going to be like in Major League Baseball but you know assuming that he’s another sunny gry I don’t want that so do you what do what do you think drod they DFA him yeah it’ll be interesting to see what they do with uh Ben rice in the future I am interested to see what they do with him he’s better as a catcher than as a first baseman he’s not a bad first baseman but he is better as a catcher and the Yankees have a lot of catchers right now in their on their on their team yeah Vlad Vladimir G Jr I mean I know he he’ll be a free agent next year he is a first baseman do the Yankees look into him you know they’ll they’ll do again they will do their due diligence in checking in on him um do they Signum I don’t see it but I have been wrong before pazza I mean they need to they need to trade pza man there I don’t I don’t there’s no future with him although um you know when Cashman was asked about second base he’s seing he’s saying that Caleb Durban is probably has like the highest chance of being the starter at second base but um do expect uh Vivas and perza to compete so there is going to be some competition at spring training but yeah perz is a guy that probably will get traded I I I think and Ben rice is a he’s a trade he could be a trade piece too DFA maybe a trade if a team has yeah but also too drod he’s he’s a f he’s a 510 guy so he does have a no he does have a no trade clause because he’s a 510 guy I mean I wonder what kind of contract he’s going to demand I mean stto got his fat contract it’s not going to be anything it’s not going to be anywhere near stto yo give me Tucker as well man Ben rice Spencer Jones and Nesta Cortez for Bellinger and Sh IM managa I mean would the Cubs take I mean I’ll I’ll do that I’ll do that yeah yeah and you’re right and they don’t need to I mean I don’t know if the Yankees would prefer to have two left-handed catchers but um but yeah they they well Wells is that guy I mean he’s going to be he’s he’s gonna he’s the future of the Yankees um but I could see them trading uh Ben rice I always felt that he was a a a trade piece Ben rice I mean again Yankees have a lot of catchers yeah I’ll take Tucker over Vlad Jr personally I mean there’s nothing against Vlad Jr but I’ll take Tucker and Tucker Tucker’s good defensively too that’s that’s that’s the other thing so shut up CT cards like the only reason why I’m like still staying live is because you know I don’t I don’t know if uh you know if there’s like another signing that’s going to happen I mean there there’s I know there’s talks of Christian Walker right now so yeah Augustine Ramirez and Trader rice yeah but I’m I’m sure they the the Marlins probably the Yankees wanted to give something a little bit more valuable in in a guy like Augustine Ramirez especially they were getting Jazz Chisum back but yeah I I get it though bro I I would have I would have traded rice before Augustine Ramirez if if if if they were able ble to swing that uh Davi I mean a trade for uh Kyle Tucker I mean that’s probably going to include they’re looking for starting pitching so I mean you’re probably look they’re they’re probably starts with Luis Hill and I don’t want to give up Luis Hill yeah it’s going to it’s going to it’s going to be a pretty I’d say it’s going to be a pretty expensive package to get um to get Kyle Tucker in a trade that’s why I’m wondering if if it’s worth you know just waiting for him to be a free agent and then get him yeah I’m I’m I’m uh definitely saying no on trading Lis Hill I wouldn’t trade Louis Hill no way so again just trying to see if there’s anything else out there yeah nothing yet nothing yet but MLB Network did put this out though uh let me pull it up on the screen I mean that would be your starting rotation right there assuming that the Yankees don’t add any other starting rotate uh starting pitchers which I I don’t think they will but Cole freed redone Hill Schmidt I don’t know about you all but I do I do like this uh I do like the starting rotation what’s up Ronald trade Hill and Jones for Tucker and burns but Burns is a free agent man Aras Cortez Hampton for Kyle Tucker I mean you could give them will they accept it yeah I’m liking this rotation right here man this rotation I’m I’m I’m very I’m very comfortable with I really am oh your sign Burns yeah I mean I’d be ecstatic if the Yankees did also sign Corbin Burns but I don’t I don’t see it I think right now they’re they’re going to go after a bat or two they’re gonna they’re going to go they got to go after a first baseman they got they got to get an outfielder I mean one of those one of those positions is getting signed so but yeah obviously let’s see let’s see what other let’s see what other moves happen tonight though folks let’s see if the Yankees um or any or any team make a big move tonight obviously so um it’s been it’s been a a very Lively winter winter meetings week so far so um I’m I’m loving it I’m sure a lot of people would I’m sure there’s some fans that would I know they they hate to give up uh Dominguez but yeah the lineup definitely needs to be a little bit more balanced um well we gota we have to see him play a full season we got to give him a chance right same way the Yankees gave um Anthony vulp a chance so far we saw two full seasons of vulpi um he made some progress this season there’s still areas for him to improve hopefully he improves in his third year um we got to give Dominguez that same kind of chance let’s see let’s see what he’s made of you know we got to see what he’s made of so yeah we’ll just have to wait and see but uh yeah I wantan to I I want to see we got to see what Dominguez is like yeah yeah I did see yeah Cashman did say that Oakley Turner long time no see man good to see you in the chat he says uh I’d want an extension on Tucker if we give up hill plus others but intered team may help in dealing with Houston maybe the Cubs will help if we take Bell’s contract off their hands I mean yeah if you’re G to trade Hill and you’re you and Hill uh Tucker can agree to an extension I might you know that that might be a little more tempting to to make that trade but I’m not sure well I’m sure they’re I’m sure they’re uh working on it um I think they’re gonna I mean strowman Cortez Trevino I I think they’re G to try and find a way to uh trade these guys I think strowman’s gonna be on the trading block I think he’s the he’s GNA be the guy to go um and Cortez I I could see Cortez getting traded too um you know strowman and Cortez they they’re they’re they both need to get traded if they’re I don’t know if they’re both going to get traded but if one of them is getting traded it’s definitely going to be Marcus strowman we can only hope man yeah we gotta see we got to see Dominguez and see what he does you know in a full in a full year in a full season yeah you could give away Dominguez for Tucker or you know would with the Yankees give up Spencer Jones yeah they they do want starting pitching they do want starting pitching oh wow Ryan samber got cancer he was one of the first superstar in baseball oh man that’s rough well hopefully he heals up but that’s what we got right now though folks um I am going to end the live stream here so um you know I was seeing if there’s any other news
