 Well the rule five draft is in just a little bit but the buzz is still Aaron judge it was the number one priority for the Yankees heading into this off season they were able to get that deal done pending a physical and now Yankees fans have a six foot eight present under their Christmas tree and Jack when you think about it have they not been able to get this deal done with trade-turner already off the board you wonder where they would have gone had they not landed Aaron judge well two big issues because you just referenced Christmas so all those Santa Claus is out there who are ready to buy the 99 Jersey and maybe they were on hold go buy the 99 Jersey the kids will be happy but Meredith I think anytime a major deal like this happens you do have to take a step back and say where would the Yankees have been without judge we could talk about a plan B but there wasn't a plan B they were so focused on a plan a so from Hal Steinbrenner to Randy Levine to Brian Cashman to Aaron Boone to everyone who had a role in this this is the player they wanted trade-turner was someone who interested them he was off the board you talk about Korea that was someone they didn't pursue in the past bogus I'm not sure that they think that he is a long-term shortstop so is that someone they would have been interested in they would have found a way to pivot Meredith but their plan B would have been so much less than the plan a that they executed and as Brian Cashman discussed and we've already discussed it get the feeling that the Yankees are far from done here that maybe they're just getting started this offseason the Tommy Cainley deal not yet official but fortifying their bullpen just a little bit but you wonder if starting pitching is in their future as well I really think that Radone is someone that they're very interested in Michael mentioned some of the numbers that are being bandied about for him six years thirty million dollars we'll see where that ends up I made a comment the other day where I referenced how Hermann or Schmidt for what they would cost if you were looking to go in that direction you might say well those guys will give me X percentage of Radon I was in no way saying that those two pitchers equate to who Radon is Radon is someone who can come in and be a top end of the rotation type pitcher and I agree with you Meredith and talking to Brian Cashman and other members of the organization I think they feel that there's unfinished business the Yankees haven't won a World Series since 2009 I think they thought last year could be their year with the way they started out but with the way it ended and with how powerful the Astros are Yankees need to do some more things well we know here in San Diego it seems like Brian Cashman has had a tremendous amount of success over the last couple of years so I remember three years ago you myself John Flaherty Bob Lorenz we're out grabbing a bite to eat and I believe it was Jeff Passon for me SPN who broke the news that Eric Cole was signing for nine years three hundred and twenty four million we dashed back to the hotel lobby because that's where you want to be well the judge situation was a little different because John Marosi broke the news at about five a.m. so if you rolled out of bed to get a glass of water at around six a.m. which is that was me you started texting people and trying to make sure that you could confirm it so yes Cashman said he has not had any sleep so San Diego has been a successful place for him but can I say that he's been sleepless in San Diego
