 He's gonna want a seven-year deal. He's 30 years old. Do you want to give a 30-year-old catcher a seven-year deal? He's probably gonna make a well over 20 million dollars a year and he's a great player not a good player He's a great player, but do you want to go that long right now in this distressed market? I think there will be enough teams to have some bidding but the fact that the Phillies have pulled themselves out Was alarming to me because they gave up so much for him And he's such a big part of that team and Bryce Harper wants them back So you spent all the money on Bryce Harper You're flexing your muscle with all the money that you have and then you lost a lot of money like every major league team did During this 2020 season and you're gonna give up on a guy like JT Rihomuto. I will be convinced when they completely back out I think they're still going to be stealth players in this well the Phillies would love to be one of those teams It's on Gary Sanchez shaken loose by the Yanks. We don't think it's gonna happen I want to get your take because For Yankees fans that say don't tender him a contract I would say he's gonna probably get an arbitration around six million dollars Don't you want to know that you have this talent that is there? You just have to unlock it again for that price as opposed to some of these bigger prices for real Muto or a James McCann See we still don't know Bob what the Yankee payroll is going to be And I think they're smart not to be making that public because you don't want to be bidding against yourself and have other Teams know that if they go to a certain price you're gonna back out But how Steinburner did say on my radio show the Yankees lost more money than any team in baseball in 2020 That's how much money they lost so is he gonna try to make it up with his payroll this year We don't know now I thought for a while there that there was a chance that they would not tender Gary Sanchez But last Wednesday on the hot stove I listened to Mara the Moroccans his interview with Aaron Boone and Boone was really doubling down on how much he Likes Gary Sanchez that told me that they are going to pick up and tender him a contract And if you think about it, who would they go after do they do they rely on the gosh You're gonna be an everyday catcher. I'm not sure they think that way So they'd have to go get another catcher because the young catchers in their system still aren't ready to play in the major League so let's look at a guy like James McCann James McCann had a good season last year for the White Sox But the bottom line is I think he made something like five and a half million dollars now The White Sox didn't tender him and they did not offer him the 18.9 because in all likelihood He would have accepted it so you're gonna have to pay more for McCann than you would for Sanchez And the Yankees still have a true belief that there's something there Something went awry in 2020 and that they could fix him And I think another fear has to be when you let a guy like Gary Sanchez go Maybe he hits the reset button. Maybe somebody says the right thing Maybe somebody gets to him in a different way and all of a sudden you're playing him 19 games a year And he's hitting home runs off. You don't want that either I think it's a smart play to pick up the option Give him the six million dollars on arbitration And then if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out and you you kind of change gears and pivot on a dime During the season, but I think the smart play now is to bring them back. All right, Michael great to see you Have a great holiday season. Of course, we will see you soon
