 And if you guys want you to know we have just officially named you co-captains of our winter meetings coverage But unfortunately that ends tomorrow, but at least for the night your co-captains Short live, but hey we appreciate anything we can get over here in San Diego But you know talking about Aaron judge and whether or not he will be named captain It really seems like it's not if but when and speaking to Hal Steinbrenner early this offseason He's clearly open to it Anthony Rizzo this postseason already called Aaron judge the captain That is the way he is viewed and when I look at this 360 million dollars is an awful awful lot of money But there were reports that San Diego was putting a four in front of it He did leave a little bit of money on the table. He wanted to be a New York Yankee He wanted to wear pinstripes and his legacy in pinstripes is important to him Yeah, I think Aaron judge has exhibited that it means a lot to him Obviously this was a business decision to the salary means a lot, but Meredith you have had conversations with him I have had conversations with him He understands what it means to be a Yankee and when your general manager is giving interviews and mentioning Cooperstown I mean that's what you're talking about right now with Aaron judge and you're talking about Monument Park And everyone has talked about a captaincy. He has 220 homers in his first 729 major league games He's got a nine-year contract the average is 31 homers a year. He gets to 500. So that's another hallowed mark I think this was the right move even if you're not a Yankee fan I think him staying in pinstripes just feels like that's where the story was supposed to go It really does he is the face of the Yankees and you look at this upcoming season 2023 He's gonna be 31 heading into that season. We know when he is on the field He is one of the best players if not at times the best player in baseball We saw that during the home run chase. So how does he say on the field? Well, we talk a lot of numbers around Aaron judge tonight. We're throwing around 360 million during the season We threw out 62. Here's the number I think was most important to Aaron judge in 2022 157 he played in 157 games Meredith I think if he stays on the field and figures out a way to stay on the field the numbers will come after that He actually played in 148 games in 2021 So he's played in 94% of the Yankees games in the last two seasons. He is a talented player We know he has that mammoth 282 pound body, but I think the Yankees have done a nice job of giving him days off and making sure when the moment is the most Important he's ready to play it is definitely clear that the Yankees have a plan in how they manage Aaron judge And it should be fun to watch over the next nine seasons Bob back to you
