I mean Juan so is a great player and he’s at the incredible age that he’s at too he’s in the prime of his career and he’s just one of the most elite hitters we’ve going to see in our generation saying all that Joel I may surprise you by saying I’m not sure it’s in the Yankees best interest to go down this path um I don’t think there’s any one way to win in the game and I think it’s foolish to present things like if we don’t have this player that we’re never going to get a chance to win the Yankees have three players committed to $108 million on their payroll if they signed juoda as you just said with a six in front of it now they have 168 million four players simply the math does not work I mean their depth of their system and the impact of their prospects just don’t allow them to put a quality team on the field in the aggregate with the depth you need to win in today’s game so if I’m the Yankees I certainly would want them back but I would anticipate you’re going to lose them because I don’t think they’re as desperate in the situation as the other three teams are I don’t think the Mets are in that situation either I think Toronto by far is the most desperate team in this hunt um I think he’s the only guy that kind of saves them in relate to the position they’re in so I’d spent a lot of my time you know I’ve read articles Joel I mean I do like Bellinger as a fit there actually I’m a profar guy uh I think he’d be a perfect leadoff type hitter for him in left field I’d give Jason Dominguez another year of development because I know I’m going to need him at some point in time during the season I’d kick the tires on Alonzo I think his Bat profile is better in his swing because he hits a lot of his home runs to Center I think that works in Yankee Stadium in right field Christian Walker’s a Deadpool hitter I kicked the tiles on Aeron finding what his acquisition price would be it’s only a three-year deal and how much money I could get taken back in the deal so I’d be going in a lot of different directions knowing that listen sto by far gives me the most dynamic player but the reality of it is I gotta feel the team yeah and there are limits of a payroll for any team in the game including the Yankees so I actually spend a lot of my time trying to figure out how we’re going to build a championship team without Juan stto being on it and I’m not sure again that’s not in their best interest long term yeah look I’m not here to uh Champion house Stein brener uh you know I’m sure him and his family are well off financially but I do think Hal is being honest when he says for him $300 million payrolls are not sustainable long term I do think they begin every year by paying $85 million to the city for the ballpark that 300 million plus tax plus operating cost plus all the steinbrener children and grandchildren who are on the books who have to you know Hal has a lot of mouths to feed there and again there’s not going to be sympathy for Hal but I will say this about being Hal Stein brener it’s a zero some game chasing these players because every time one of them is up he hears from his fan base well you know what your father would have done which is all nonsense because I actually covered his father and his father was a bad owner as much as he was a good owner for most of the time he was there got kind of Lucky when he was suspended that they put great players in and look they said this he traded for Stanton with 10 years and 300 million left on it he gave Garrick Cole the largest pitching contract in history he gave Aaron judge the largest positional contract per year in history there is never going to be the moment he signed SoDo they’re going to be like why aren’t you signing Cor burns your father would sign Corbin Burns so there’s like a zero some game there for him about like and to your point is he better off doing hey I’ll bring in santand there trade for Bellinger put Willie Adamas at third base and I got a better all-around team and it’s probably close to the total dollars per year for a short a term than soda yeah I mean I always look to build teams in the aggregate because if you look at the roster turn of Major League clubs you’re going through 40 plus players a year so the depth you know is your ability to stay competitive both shortterm and long term
