🕵️♂️ Transcript:
in the time span of about a half an hour a whole hell of a lot of things happened while the MLB Lottery was being revealed on MLB Network the New York Yankees worked out their agreement and announced the max freed signing 8 years $218 million Juan stto pivots mode activated bringing in Max Reed we will take a look at how impactful and just how incredible the Yankees rotation looks now and not to be outdone the American League East had more more activity on tap as the Toronto Blue Jays it has been announced finalizing a trade to acquire Gold Glove winning second baseman andrees Jimenez from the Cleveland Guardian which as a domino effect probably gives Cleveland the opportunity now to hold on to Josh Naylor Jimenez had signed an extension and those dollars for Cleveland’s taste probably they was something they regretted they looked at that and they were like H this might be too much money especially when we have Josh Naylor and we’re at a Crossroads so they find a a Josh Naylor bailout package coming north of the border from Ross Atkins and Mark chaparro as they upgrade the defense continuing to be focused defensive first team they go and get one of the best in Andre simz we will talk about the Blue Jays the focus is it a win is it a loss and the max freed signing and the max freed piece being the biggest piece is where we will begin this is a participa sorry about that guys this is participation time first when it comes to Max freed and those watching the replay hit hit it all down in the comments section is this are you Yankee fans are you excited is this enough to get over the W sto hurt or are there like three or four more things that need to happen Toronto Blue Jays fans do you like the trade as of recording we don’t have the return package yet I’m sure somebody in the live chat will uh win that win that post send us to Ben Nicholson Smith or Shai deidi or Keegan mat or or whoever is covering the story I’m sure they’re all on it but who gets who gets it uh make sure you hit it is is is it hor please tell me it’s not Horowitz no it’s not no it’s no it’s not no it’s not don’t tell me it’s Spencer Horwitz don’t tell me it’s Spencer Horwitz for Andre H it is Spencer Horwitz is the key piece they don’t like Spencer Horwitz confirmed the Toronto Blue Jays do not like Spencer Horwitz they wouldn’t call him up last year and even before last year started they signed Daniel Vogal back they don’t like Spencer Horwitz good for Spencer Horwitz getting out of town because apparently that front office thinks you’re garbage okay uh your potential Vladimir Guero Jr first base replacement in 2026 is now gone okay yeah yeah yeah Jay’s fans you can probably see where I’m going to go with this but I will focus on the max freed piece because that is the breaking news that’s the big news here really let’s be honest Max freed to the New York Yankees is the big big story here New York Yankees looking to Pivot go out in hand according to somebody on MLB network uh as I was finishing up dinner with the kids I’m watching and it is the richest contract ever handed out to a left-handed starting pitcher good job Max freed and Max Freed’s going to stay on the East Coast there had been a lot of talk from me about Max freed going west so let me address that first and foremost because there will be a lot of followers of the channel saying Jim what happened well I mean you saw the Blake Snell deal that’s what happened number one another what happened is Roki sasaki’s posted that’s what happened number two what happened number three and this is what I’ve heard from behind the scenes so take what you will um the Dodgers were worried about all the max frit injury stuff they didn’t want to get into that situation they already have a guy in Tyler glass now who gets hurt a ton they’ve been dealing with a lion share worth of injuries last thing you want to do is get a guy that seems to have some health issues so that all of those things combined the the Dodgers as a Braves fan I will always love fried you all got a good one Yankee fans take care of him New York wish him nothing but the best and if you’re the Yankees you’re getting so that’s all that’s that’s really all we I need to say or address when it comes to Max is not on the west coast that’s it so max freed now to the New York Yankees Yankees need to build a rotation that can go head to head with the Dodgers or the Braves or the Phillies or the Mets because they all have Elite rotations or the Mets the Mets I suspect by the end of this off season will have put together an elite rotation they got work to do and I expect them to do it but let’s say the Mets let’s let’s leave the Mets out of that conversation for a minute the Dodgers the Phillies and the Braves Elite rotations here and the New York Yankees have to be able to go toe-to-toe if they meet in the World Series and now when you consider what this Braves rotation is going to look like you have Cole and Fred at the top Carlos rodon slides down to be the number three Luis heel I understand he walks a ton of guys but that’s something that can be corrected over time Louis heel as your four which means for your five get Marcus can we just get this is Fang graphs can we just get Marcus strowman out of town can can we be done with that can we move on from that Clark Schmidt’s your five Nester Cortez is an option will Warren is an option A lot of possibilities for the Yankees in this rotation this is a World Series rotation that’s what the Yankees were obviously looking to build I’ve been making the case that the Yan Yankees could enter the season and have a Cole rodon heel Schmidt and Cortez or strowman rotation and be okay this now and this is obviously much far superior far far superior better than okay this is a World Series rotation everybody’s got to get there healthy but this is the kind of rotation that can go out there and win the World Series now step two for the New York Yankees has Absol absolutely most certainly now needs to the focus needs to shift to the bats and I’m telling you it’s a three-step process and it’s not that difficult it’s Christian Walker he’s your first baseman it’s Hassan Kim hang kin Play Short play second whichever you want and this one’s going to knock your socks off it’s Gio or shella your defense in that infield will be one of the best in baseball with Christian Walker at first with Walker and Kim coming on board with Ella defense is his calling card you’re going to have DJ Leu bouncing around first base Third Base doing his thing um and Jazz Chism goes to the Outfield you have Aon judging right you have Jazz Chisum in center and you have Jason Dominguez in left there you go good to go let’s let’s let’s move on stand your DH Set Let’s do this thing verdugo’s gone Grisham uh you still got him Grisham can just kind of play all over the place be your fourth outfielder we’re done that’s Yankees that in my opinion as as far as I see it that’s the course of action for the New York Yankees now now that you have built a rotation that is Elite go and get again focus on infield pieces Jazz can go to the Outfield I really think that is the course of action for the New York Yankees Now teams that that missed out on Max freed Boston Toronto really glaring in this scenario there had been some talk Buster onlyy had said that the Giants were a team to watch um you know this is one of those situations where I do think Max freed growing up as a Dodger fan probably maybe there were some personal feelings he had no interest in ever being a San Francisco Giant especially if the New York Yankees are here with a seven plus year deal this was supposed to be according to Darius Clover a decision the decision was supposed to be made by Thursday obviously the Yankees got a turned that aggressive dial way up to get this thing done and to get this thing done and not linger because you don’t want to have a situation where Boston UPS their offer Toronto UPS their offer so you move on and you get Max freed leave Boston looking for I mean the big the top of the rotation guys there’s one there’s one left on that tier one group as far as free agents go after that if you want a tier one you’re going to have to open up the the the Prospect Capital pocketbook because if you want to get uh that you you’re looking at the Garett crochets or you’re maybe trying to pull somebody away from Seattle uh that that is now the pressure this is is going to work out great for Corbin Burns because now Boston and Toronto have to really push really push hard uh Boston misses out on another free agent uh this is this is another one they were in on Blake Snell they were why can’t they get the pitching was it the where they distracted with wotto they were in on Blake Snell they were in on us kuchi they were in on uh on Max freed you can sign somebody eventually right and as far as the Toronto Blue Jays just missing out on Marquee free agents that’s if this is continuing what’s been the trend they just get kind of gun shy um if it’s not woto or showy Otani they don’t want to be the top bidder they want to try to find a deal no deals to be had with Max freed no deals to be had with Corbin Burns you’re going to have to be the top bidder so we will uh we we’ll see what they do to Pivot next we won we know what the Blue Jays did to Pivot we can get to that in uh in just a moment but Yankees fans I wonder is this enough to remove some of the Sting from the last couple of days uh touching bases you put strowman in me too 100% I think strowman is going to be traded this is I grab straight from fan graphs when I do these I’m usually doing screen grabs will Boston never make a move that’s significant they just have to go out and have to overpay they they have to and not overpay win the bidding war that’s what they have to do they have to say I don’t care whatever it is Pay It Corbin Burns whatever it is pay it um and after that after tier one is done you’re sliding down to tier two now there’s some really good names in tier 2 but they’re not sp1 Aces they’re guys that can maybe pitch like that for a little bit of time but if you’re trying to build a World Series Contender they’re not the one native Aldi is not a one on a World Series championship team he’s a one with another one um Jack flarity is not the one um I hope you know what I mean I know native vdi was just on a Rangers team that won a World Series and he was a key contributor I understand that um and and we just had Jack flare uh pitching good in the postseason but but please understand what I’m saying um you’re heading into a season you’re building a plan you’re building a structure to go out there and win the World Series if native Aldi is your sp1 if uh if if uh Jack flared is your sp1 I have some concerns about the rest of the rotation so let’s just see how this plays out for Boston for Toronto as they try to get their pitching but for the Yankees perspective it’s great it’s great win it’s great job absolute great job let’s talk about the Blue Jays and what they did about a half hour later when they traded for andrees Jimenez the deal has been announced since we started the live stream and we got to it early on you’ve got let me see is there other news let’s see if there’s other news Nick Sandlin or Nick sandine I’m sorry if I’m mispronouncing Nick’s name Nick please forgive me I’ll call you later and we’ll I’ll smooth it over uh Andre Jimenez for Nick again it’s either Sandlin or sandine and Spencer Horwitz those are the two pieces it uh going those are the two pieces heading to the Cleveland Guardians for Andre sandz blue J fans I think there are some blue jay fans that are going to be excited because Andre herenz is a name Andre herenz has been an All-Star Andre herenz is a gold glove second baseman so this will fire up a good portion of the fan base they’re making moves uh they’re improving the CL club they’re trading Spencer Horwitz that is this is going to cause this is going to cause a divide so many of the damn moves JS are not doing anything major frustrating angry face you know what I just feel like I did I did I miss I totally miss the Super Chat uh oh no we got it we got it okay uh Raul so they’re trying to we’re g to hand out awards for trying I guess I don’t know the moves that this team is doing is causing such a divide in the fan base Tim big fan if you maximum fried your eggs they could get Burns coincidence I don’t think so flexed bicep European post office Falling Leaf boot Hour Glass burrito Flex bicep always the burrito thank you Craig so okay if you know you know it’s great the the divide that these the front office just keeps doing there was a Spencer Horowitz was a fan favorite Spencer Horowitz was a guy I said it at the beginning for anybody that may be skipped that and came right to where you saw the graphic because you’re moving around you you didn’t care about the Snell you care about this last year as the season began Spencer Horwitz had already established himself as as somebody to watch as we entered last season and instead the Toronto Blue Jays thought that Daniel vogle back would be a better option cuz that makes sense Daniel vogle back basically blocked Spencer Horwitz who was the best hitter at a point in the entire franchise including the major league level it’s insane and they wouldn’t call him up they had Daniel vogle back in the way eventually after have every everything that I saw and consumed it was like they were having meetings about how they can call Spencer Horwitz up the best damn hitter in the organization how do we get him up here they finally move on from Daniel vogle back they bring Spencer Horwitz up and Spencer Horwitz turns out to be a great hitter whether he’s at Triple A or at the major league level he’s a great hitter now second base is not his natural position he’s a first baseman but they had to stick him at second base to find room and this team has an absolute raging hard on for defense to the point where they will sacrifice the offense and they have done it again now again if you are a fan of this move great that probably means you think Dalton V is a God and Dalton V is really good on defense but with the bat he leaves you wanting more so the Toronto Blue Jays two years in a row backto back team gold gloves they’re going for a third baby playoffs playoff win we don’t care we just want to be the best defensive team in baseball if we hit who cares you’re going to move on from really Spencer Horowitz who if we were to rank the Toronto Blue Jays bats for next year Spencer Horowitz would probably have been in the top five if we’re going to rank Andres jimenez’s bat and what he can do I don’t know eighth ninth of the five and you’re going to say Jim you’re being too hard hard on him Andre Jimenez I’m going to pull up his baseball savan this is really the problem that I have um Andre that’s what not just the one problem look at Andre so here’s Andre Jimenez baseball Savant guys he doesn’t hit the ball hard okay you can usually get by you can usually get by but he’s also chasing out of the zone and he’s not drawing walks oh this sounds like a recipe for success yes let’s trade Spencer Horwitz for that for that shitty plate approach and then when you’re looking at the results look at the Ops if you’re thinking of Andres Jimenez from 2022 that’s not who he’s been his Ops dropped by more than 100 points from 22 to 23 and dropped another 80 points near near 80 points from 23 to 24 the power Zapped the on base percentage irrelevant no slug he’s great defensively super but this team needs a bat now maybe they’ve got a plan maybe they have uh Anthony santand there come on down and if he does and it’s part of a plan super cool but this just worries me it concerns me that it is another one of these I start laughing there is no way blatty stays if they don’t lock him up also love the fried move. let’s go yangs Jack thank you for the donation I’ll say this um Spencer Horwitz okay let me get me my thoughts in line vlat is not going to get an extension done that’s that ship has sailed vlat is going to enter the free agent market so that’s done we can’t even talk about that anymore vlat when he leaves that leaves a hole at first base and Spencer Horwitz could have been the first baseman vlat could have look I believe I don’t think this front office believes but I believe Vladimir Guerrero JR could could handle third base and if you have that then you have Spencer hor with up first they both can play they’re not going to do that because the defense is King so much so that we will sacrifice offensive production aggressively we will sacrifice offensive production not just a little bit but a lot and I’m sorry that’s what Andre Jimenez is going to do don’t tell me he’s a run producer in 633 plate appearances he scored 64 runs hitting in front of Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor don’t tell me he gets on base and he scores runs because he doesn’t can we kill that right now yeah I’m I’m hold I’m I’m holding it in because I don’t want to get angry because again this could come back to bite me in the ass again if they sign Anthony sand or something like that then okay good uh we’ll we’ll we I will I will eat my words and and Jesus God I hope that I eat my words but hitting in front of two prolific bats at driving in runs in 2024 Andre Jimenez scored 64 runs okay sounds great or wait or did they Cleveland fans Cleveland fans do I have it wrong was Andre Jimenez batting like ninth even if he was batting ninth get on base somehow um get on base and and and you got Quan and you got jram you got Naylor you got them coming soon somebody tell me uh somebody tell me talking Sports you like the move tell me why if you like the move I want getting Garcia back I did Robert and I’m guys I I I I did not hear uh I made a a comment on on on Twitter um yimy Garcia Jimmy Garcia was unable to finish the year last year because he was having elbow issues they traded him to Seattle he had gone on the iil for an elbow thing he came back they traded him to Seattle uh he went back on the ilil and he was shut down and now the Toronto Blue Jays just gave him a two-year deal I wonder if it’s a two-year deal because 2025 is not looking so good for him I I don’t know this for a fact but it just seems kind of um kind of not great and isn’t that why all the blue J fans that are fighting me on the Jordan Romano thing are telling me is because Jordan Romano’s arm is cooked well Jimmy Garcia you can make an argue that his arm is cooked touching bases has says Cleveland one Horwitz is Cronin worth I think Horwitz is probably better than konorth they do need offense again where is it who’s got it Jay’s overall got worse so there has to be many more moves here’s the other problem and I’m looking for somebody to give me some give me a reason why this is a good move here’s the other problem guys you’re going to think I just hate the blue J has anybody seen is is is Cleveland eating any of this salary because here’s the salary for Jimenez you might not be able to see it cuz it is small uh we are 10.5 this year we are 15.5 next year and then we are 23.5 for 27 28 and 29 and then there’s a club option for $23 million in 2030 I understand that we are just starting to get into those Peak age years but part of me is kind of concerned that we’re just getting into those Peak age years and as far as his offensive production goes it’s regressing and as far as his I call it uh my plate approach metrics they’re not getting better okay he doesn’t strike out a ton but he doesn’t walk he chases out of the Zone what that means if you have a high chase rate 37.4% and a low K rate that means you’re generating a lot of weak contact and you’re not even beating it out enough because your batting average is only 252 again the guy from 2022 it worked but it has gone backwards the last two years that’s the problem I have let’s take a look at Spencer Horowitz yeah I you I’m sorry you this move stinks I’m at the point the way things have gone the way things went in the postseason the last two times they were there and the way things went last year I’m ready to sacrifice a little bit on the defense to make sure that I can score runs look at his batting run value it’s ne5 guys you can’t see it cuz it’s it’s cropped off it’s the eth percentile it’s a -5 count on the batting run value you know who I want this is the guy that I’m into to 2022 Andre Jimenez did we get that guy what this does is this gives again this this helps Cleveland out in such a big way because they were looking at TR Josh Naylor and if you’re going to choose between Jimenez and Naylor I think you would rather have Naylor on your team what he does from a bat perspective and you’re going to move him and now you’re going to bring Spencer Horwitz into the equation so you’re going to be you’re great if you’re Cleveland and Sandlin um again when we when we when we were looking at this earlier um I think it was right um Ken Rosenthal the tweet that we red had it going the other way uh which is why I again you anybody watching the replay you probably not going to catch this part but when we started we talked about how it was Jimenez to Toronto and sandin and horz to Cleveland but sandland is a Cleveland piece that was coming to Toronto but I’m not impressed I’m just I’m just not impressed the other thing the money the Andre Jimenez money 15 million 23 23 23 and then a club option for 23 that is and and there’s the 10 five this year how much is bobette’s aav going to be I I think the problem with a bashet contract negotiation at this point because you missed the window for an extension is that bobette’s going to look for a deal that’s probably going to take him to his a I mean you can see the way the trend is going he’s going to look for a contract that takes him to his age 40 season at which point he’ll be absolute garbage and it’s going to be about $30 million a year so if you’re the Toronto Blue Jays you’re getting out ahead of the bashet departure I guess this means they did not feel like they have any internal options Addison Barger is not an option re Martinez is not an option um I’m trying to think of other Short Stops that are that are or players that have been shortstop like they this is their they’re getting ahead of the Boba departure end of story that’s what this is B bashet is going to be playing with his replacement how does bashet feel about that Leo Jimenez thank you JM Leo Jimenez as well good point is this G is and I really like Leo Jimenez last year I guess maybe Leo Jimenez could stay it short and Andres Jimenez could be at second but with the money that Andre Jimenez is making you probably have because this Jimenez would be better defensively um than Leo Leo goes to Second and Andre is short stop but this is Bose’s replacement um guys it is getting close to bedtime for the kids uh I’m going to go take care of that stuff I’m going to try to collect my thoughts uh I’m going to be watching what’s going on I did have let’s see I had some thoughts on Taylor Ward that I wanted to get to I had some Corbin burns stuff to talk about we had some Dylan C stuff some glaber Tores the Blue Jays are well that’s probably dead now uh Blue Jays were connected to glabber Torres today that could have been a leverage move to get Cleveland to pull the trigger on this trade there was there’s been some more Nan arut talk so there’s a good chance that later in a couple hours I’ll be back and again we can dig into some of those other uh some of those other pieces and maybe I’ll be in a better mood about the Jimenez trade maybe a bolt of lightning will hit me and I’ll be like oh that’s right that’s right Andres Jimenez is the guy and Nick sandin is the reliever we need and I’ll change my tune um my mind has changed before it will change again I changed from Yankees to Mets about a week before he signed with the Mets even in the face of all that Red Sox stuff I was I I my mind will change my opinions will change I’m not stuck in my ways so you have that to look forward to maybe unless you’re giving up on me and if that’s the case I bid you a do um anyway let’s get out of here again good chance that we’ll be back there may be more deals this is a very active day so we may come back around a deal and not necessarily just a a a a winner meetings watch or anything like that so guys uh thank you for coming in I appreciate you being here spending some time with the channel we’ll see uh we’ll see how this stuff all plays out we’ll see if we get any Burns news tonight we’ll see if we get any other big deals but make sure to hit that like on the way out I do appreciate you all spending time and hopping in with me for a Max freed and Blue Jays trade reaction even though my reaction is not that great for the Jays but thank you all for coming in ball cap Nation I salute you even those that are mad at me right now we’ll get through this remember as always if it’s low let it go and if it’s High Let It Fly I’ll catch you later
