 Do all of these meetings and figure out we're going to open the show with that we really put together a tremendous show for you and then moments before we get underway we find out that Brian Cashman has said that it does appear that Luis Severino is going to have Tommy John surgery it's been recommended and if he has Tommy John surgery anybody that has followed baseball knows you are done for the year and a portion of the so this is pretty devastating I'm usually playing the guy when a Yankee injury happens hey listen they'll find a way to survive it and I do think they could survive this but you can't say it's not it's that it's insignificant it's very significant because you already got Paxton out for at least the first month of the season and now Severino done for the year guys this is a pretty big issue and also let's call it the way it is so far a very bad contract extension for the New York Yankees because since he inked that extension he's been nothing but hurt and now is gonna miss quite possibly the next year and a half of baseball because of Tommy John I gotta tell you I mean this is this is just absolutely brutal and we can talk all we want about the fact that you've got Garrett Cole now but this was supposed to be about greatness greatness and depth and now you are taking it on the chin with this when frankly it's not all that surprising because when you heard forearm tightness last night that's kind of usually the precursor to it right so so now with Paxton at least may and he's saying I'll be back in mate let's you know settle down on that we'll see it when he's back he's another one that has had a history of getting hurt quite a bit and you're back into the discussions of when the Yankees are gonna use an opener I mean that on the back end and doesn't doesn't kill this season it doesn't kill this season we saw them take as many injuries right last year but it's a brutal way to start spring train it's a brutal way I still think this team is good enough to slug their way to a divisional championship but you know the acquisition of call to me was always about the postseason because you knew the Yankees were gonna win a hundred games heck they won 103 last year and half their roster was out so Cole's acquisition was to give them that stud in the postseason it also helped that the team that you couldn't beat in the playoffs also lost him so that's that's the good news there but now Cole becomes important in the regular season because yeah I think you could slug your way but you also need quality pitching right and this is gonna put a lot of onus on a Montgomery who we haven't seen in a long time more innings for a little Weisica you know CC's gone now too so it's not like you'd you have a ton of experience in this rotation either outside of Cole and Tanaka Severino was supposed to be someone that was gonna possibly be the two or three starting pitcher and now he's gone and Paxton gone till at least May so that puts a lot on Cole's shoulders and it puts a lot on Tanaka's shoulders here early for this team to not only get through the regular season but now in the postseason you'll lose that important piece too
