Shout out to A-Rod. That 2009 postseason stamped him forever 🙌🏾
This off season may or may not end in a parade. But can we agree this is the first time in ages where they are truly addressing things and going for it? What they don't always understand is that many of us aren't expecting a WS every season. We are just tired of failing in the same way (a feast or famine, one-dimensional, right-hand dominated lineup). Great start to the off season.
They have to resign Soto, otherwise a bust!
they will resign him no problem next offseason but they also have to sign Yamamoto now @@t-bone2019 then the pressure is on and they will be a world series favorite and they better win or they will sign soto this offseason its highly likely
@@t-bone2019no because of Dominguez turns out to be a great player you don’t need him.
@@clemersmonroe5183 IF he becomes a great player.
Love seeing the premier left hand bats brought back to the Bronx!
The fact they got to keep Dominguez and Spencer Jones to get this deal done is insane.
Not really, it’s for one year, if Soto was controlled for 2 or 3 years at least one of those guys would be gone if not both
Love me some Mike babyyyy.. the fact they brought in Soto and verdugo show how little they think of Stanton.. to further send him a message id stick him in the 8 spot and if he is hitting less that 240, he rides the bench
Great analysis. Get Yamamoto and bring Monty back and they will be in the WS once again.
AS A METS FAN WHO DISLIKES THE YANKEES, I CAN SAY THIS WAS A GREAT TRADE.
A-Rod, Tex, CC and Burnett that year. It took the pitching as well.
Who can you really count on after Cole?
@@t-bone2019 Whomever they sign (Yamaoto?) along with Nestor, Rodon and Schmidt,.
@@anticensorshipsociety1063 not too reliable those three. Yamaoto is going to cost a bundle! Soto after this season will too! Hal is not his father yet!
@@t-bone2019Cortes, bounce back Rodon, Schmidt and hopefully Yamamoto or Snell
They still need at least one massive addition (Yamamoto) to the starting staff. A consistent "lights out" closer too. Without that, the best they will do is make the playoffs with another early exit.
Sign Snell instead
Was waiting for Mikes reaction😊
I agree Mike on everything especially Rodon I didnt like the pickup in the beginning.
Why not?
Great listen!! Francesa is SPOT ON as usual.
If this team can’t hit .245 vs .(the .227 it hit last year) and put a ball in play they are likely to continue to underperform higher IQ teams … they have to be able to manufacture runs without the bomb ….Soto just came from a team with Tatis, Machado, and Bogaerts around him and they couldnt win.... so now he has Judge and oft injured Stanton? I am happy we got him but man there is still so much work to do. This team is old and 1 dimensional.
Mike, good discussion, however the Yankees still need 2 starters, Cole and Schmidt are the only two for sure solid starters, Cortes and Rodon are question marks, big question marks. They need Yamamoto and Montgomery .......
I can't wait until baseball season starts.
Agree on no leadoff hitter. I think it's DJ opening day, ideally for the franchise Volpe takes the next step and he's able to leadoff
Great moves….more need to be made…. But I am glad to see them not wasting another year of Judge’s and Coles’ prime.
Juan Soto! WOW!
When Soto won the World Series with the DC Nationals in 2019, his base salary was $600k. He's looking at $33m this season.
Mike didnt say it but his entire argument points to only one thing...cashless has no idea how to build a club if he cant buy every player on the market...
Correct.
I’ve watched Grissom for 3 years, he’s gonna give Mike an aneurism
My god Soto and that short porch?
He is best when he uses the whole field. If he tries to pull the ball his batting may be affected negatively.
@@mmcgahn5948 that’s a great point , same thing happens to Jason Giambi, with Oakland his BA was way higher and then the yankee stadium short porch played with his head .
100% agree that both Rodon and Stanton should be discarded.
Great move by the Yankees even though I'm not a diehard fan. I always wondered why they were stacked with right handed batters the past few seasons.
If they don't win the WS and re-sign Soto, we'll just be back to calling Cashman a fool next year
Chicken finger bucket prices are about to triple
They've opened up their wallet..First step in what hopefully will be a championship season. Verdugo is a damn good player!
Damn good? Relax lol
Haven’t really opened up their wallet yet. They had enough money coming off from last year that they haven’t really added any payroll yet even with Soto. It would be interesting to see if they sign Yamamoto and go over the luxury tax.
@@collado137yeah idk about damn good. He’s a solid player.
Such an underrated pickup, even when Dominguez comes back he’s insane outfield depth.
Lol remember that game your fans threw the baseball and hit Verdugo in the back in left field lol
I really hope Big G can stay healthy and bounce back this year because he's been good for the Yankees especially in the playoffs which Mikey just overlooks because he doesn't like him. Rodon I didn't want either but let's see if he does better this year and can stay healthy. I didn't want Verdugo but once we got Soto I felt better about having him and he is a huge upgrade from what we had in Oswaldo and Bauers and Billy McKinney and Franchy Cordero. Grishem can't hit but is good defensively. This lineup will be much better and score a lot more runs than they did last year.
Need a CLOSER
Brilliant point on what would have happened if King hadn't raised his stock last year.
Lots of hype today. Let's see what happens on the field....
They only need 3 things now: pitching, pitching, and pitching.
Nah. They also need position players who get on base and field their position, not just starters but also the bench.
the yankees aren’t “back” til if they get yamamoto too. getting soto was mandatory and a no brainer
Let's go Mets!
If only Stanton can stop being Glassman and actually contribute 150 games but thats wishful thinking.
Yep, he’s a 35M boat anchor at this point.
Get the snowblower ready Mike!
😂😂😂
3:39 MIKE DOES A DIARRHEA FART
Soto was on a awesome team on paper and still lost, we'll see, nice on but doesnt always translate, team may or may not have that chemistry.
Now we need to GET RID OFF $tanton & RODON ASAP we do not need a player to be clogging our line up.
Everyone’s gonna change their tune when they don’t resign him
The Yankees will never win with injury prone feast or famine Judge and Stanton.
Buyout the Stanton contract and get rid of him! He will miss at least half the season anyway with an injury.
How about Blake Snell
I've long felt and especially now think they should bat Torres #2. I think we Judge & Soto behind him he'd have an enormous year.
Trade Torres for a pitcher. I’d put Pedraza at SS, move Volpe to 2B. They probably won’t do that, so Pedraza to 2B. Gleyber a defensive liability and has tendency to laziness.
@@mmcgahn5948 I find Torres infuriating as well but hard to move the reigning gold glove SS to 2B.
He’s going to queens in 25!
I would bet Gerritt Cole wasn't happy at all being on a team that Cashman and Baboon were 'tarding up.
I hear some ppl talking crap about Rizzo and not this video !! He was hitting well over 300 before Tatis happened so ..
Yankees and Cashman need a repeat of pre-2009 moves, with this trade hopefully first big move of hopefully at least (AT A MINIMUM) another major signing like Yamamoto
Let's see if he can handle. New York then will see what he's all about
The Marlins still owe some of Stantons contract right? 10 mil per year or something?
Now let's bring Don Mattingly back in any way, shape or form & have him retire in the Bronx.
The loss of King may sting. Need some arms. Lineup looks great. Remember Rizzo was having an excellent year prior to the concussion.
They’re gonna get Yamamoto. You’ll have Cole, Yama, Schmidt, Nestor, Rodon. Not too bad. Rodon will be better than last year I think too. Yeah they do need a little more depth now. However finding randomly decent pitching is the one thing cashman is good at
@@maxdubs222 Thinking the inside track for Yamamoto is with the Mets as they have Senga.
@@maxdubs222
Well, Rodon can't be worse than last year.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope the empire strikes back this year
I’m a Met fan. Honestly other than King this was a steal for the Yankees. I find it hard to believe they won’t resign him in free agency. He’ll test it with boras as his agent but still. Soto at Yankee stadium hits 45hrs.
Mets fan here too make that 55 in that high school park
Soto mostly hits to left center than right
There is chance this doesnt work. Soto isn't a natural pull hitter. Over half of his hrs were to center and left. So the only way for Yankee stadium to mean something is for him to change his approach which almost never works. They could of given up less and traded for Cedric Mullins( improved defense too), Schwarber or Lowe from TB. All 3 would've fit better in Yankee stadium and been cheaper to get. Plus he refuses to sign extensions during the season and theres a possibility Boston( better field for him because he hits alot to left) , the Mets ( blank check to give in 25) or the Angels( just a guess ) get him.
And when it's second and third with one out and he's eeking out walk after walk for his obp instead of trying to drive in runs? You'll be calling up wfan screaming for tiki barber to be in the hall of fame
Good move, but the Evil Empire is not back until the resign Soto after this year. He turned down a 10 year 450 million dollar contract from Washington! Wonder why a lot of other teams weren't willing to go after him.
He turned down a 15 year, 440 million offer.
@@Notchibald_Johnson I stand corrected. How much will he get now?
@@t-bone2019 Considerably more.
They didn't sign him. They traded for him.
How does that change anything of what he discussed?
@@F1DeLCaShFl0w88Yea I was confused lol
So?
@@F1DeLCaShFl0w88 It matters because that impacts the team budget.
That will matter next year when he’s a FA. They also gave up almost nothing in terms of ‘24 relevance
lmao Mike talking about how if A-Rod doesn't perform the way he did in 09 that we don't win it all. No shit, that's what happened every other year he was on the playoff roster.
Yup. lol
Mike, didn’t you used to drive a De Soto?
Mike's nose still up ARods ass.. he's he was great in 2009. But he stunk for 5 yrs prior to that. ARod hitting that DP in Anaheim in the 9th right after Jeter gets a leadoff single. Mike doesn't remember that stuff.
Soriano very underrated Yankee.
Still not better than the Orioles…
Going to win 2024 Championship
Too bad the padres weren’t willing to take Montas AND Rodon
Montas is a free agent so he can’t be traded
I think they are all in on Yamamoto 1 reason i dont think they re sign soto that will be next winters worries
what is BET RIVIS?🤣
Nothing has gone right since 2009?
They haven't won a WS, (but outside the Dodgers maybe) they're the winningest team with the most postseason appearances in baseball.
This all or nothing, ring or failure attitude is a bit ridiculous.
Winning 3 or 4 rounds in a row is insanely difficult and low probability for every team, and it's about getting hot at the right time.....all the playoff bound Yankee teams since 2009 were solid, but fell victim to the randomness and crapshoot nature of the postseason.
Juan Soto isn't going to make the postseason not a crapshoot.
Now they should try and trade mike Stanton for mike trout
It’s looking bright
Arod did well in the 2009 post season because he was dating Kate Hudson 😁👍
People forget how important Kate was to that team. She deserves a ring
Mets will now sign otani
He doesnt wanna be ny
How come they never call and sign me?
Uh, no offense... but mastering your Fleshlight is a 'skill' that really doesn't transfer to MLB. Capisce?
You bat below the Mendoza line 😳?
Because you’re not Giambi.
Let's go Yankees!! Finally the Yankees are back!!
Lol no there not...got one pitcher
I don’t know how Yamamoto doesn’t land on the Yankees Yankees are all in right now it looks scary for every other baseball team let’s go for it who cares about any other teams let’s flex our muscles a bit more
Lol called money who offered the most that's were he's going
NYY have opened up the pocketbook again to try a buy a championship....nothing new here. But you still got to contend with the O's and the Jay's. It will produce better baseball so I'm a fan. Not of the Yankees or Soto, but for baseball. Soto should fit right in, and with that short porch Soto should flourish.
Didn’t Texas just buy a championship, who cares as long as you win
Rizzo was supposed to be the lefty power.
He gets hurt for the year on day 1. Mark my words!
He is a free agent next year, he will flourish this year, like Whitey Herzog said give me a team of players that will be a free agent next year and I will get you a World Series
Damn get that hate out ur system bro lol
@joel8692 not hating I just know how the Yankees operate and the fate of the many who have played for them
This dude is a young Bobby Abreu. Overly concerned about individual stats and deathly afraid of the outfield wall.
Bobby Abreu? Soto is compare to Ted Williams
Haha what?!?!😂😂
@@1stgengamer73
Hahaha
I think they should try and flip Verdugo for pitching and sign Jung Hoo Lee to play CF. Judge in CF is going to add a lot of wear and tear.
It won’t matter…
Damn only for 1 year?
For now...obviously they will try to sign him longer when the time comes
He said he will work out an extension during the season,even though Boras don't want to
@@j.s3300 very true.
@@arkhamknight6371lmfao!! He never said that
@@rickshelton1955 Last night on mlb network
U said that Yankees didn't have a lead off hitter now they do
With Judge healthy the Yanks were 10 games over .500 If Judge and Soto stay healthy, the yankees will be much much better than last year. Now even if Judge gets hurt again. Soto will be there to pick up the slack.
They do Mike, his name is Anthony Volpe
Sign Snell instead of Yama
Mike is the pope he is always rite
Are you serious? He's usually wrong about everything.
@@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781 absolutely not ! He's the pope Mike is God
Thats right yall ,AROD,,AROD,,AROD.
Give Soto 3 weeks being around this organization and he'll be a 190 hitting Judge will blow out a knee and miss 75 games and they'll finish 5th.
Haters goimg to hate. Yankees with volpe and Jason still here are set for a great lineup.
They signed him?
Nope, that’s a false, clickbait title.
Grisham will not bat leadoff Mike.
Yankees can still trade Soto at the deadline 🤷🏾♂️
Wassup Mike!
🤙
Another dumb Cashman move. Soto is overrated (he was awful in 2022) and Yankees gave up potential ace Michael King.
What about Grisham😂
Any negative comments on this are people who are jealous af and scared that the Empire is back
We know how this ends. With Michael Kay making injury excuses, again. Pin this
Not a yankee fan Soto in the Bx should be fun
As one of the worst hitting team in baseball they still need Contact Hitters. Soto is a big step assuming he signs. Yamamoto and or Ohtani would be a dream.
Your first sentence is on point. Your last point is not.
Not signed, fix the clickbait title.
The Yankees should sign Alonso next year too
Why? He's not leaving the Mets anytime soon. Even Mike Piazza was telling the SNY media about him staying with the team as a face of the franchise.
Yankees already have Rizzo and after his contract is up, they have alternatives to get other players for 1B. They don't need Alonzo. He's fine with the Mets.
Yamamoto to da Yanks
Mike I would have this lineup: Volpe-SS, Judge-RF, Soto-LF, Rizzo-1B, Verdugo-CF, Torres-2B, Stanton-DH, Wells-C, DJ-3B
Volpe, with that big swing , strikes out too much…
Yes. A 200 hitter with a horrific on base percentage to be your lead off man. Sounds great
Rizzo can’t even see anymore….and you want him hitting clean up?
