 judges a very special very special player and a great Yankee and we will be having conversations I have no doubt in the you know the weeks to come not as much time per usual to to figure out the needs we have and figure out how to address them so you know my directive to cash when the flock out ended let's focus on the needs we got Aaron this year let's focus on the needs and who we need to bring in and to make this team better any confidence with what you're getting information from Randy that they could drop this mandate by April 7 I think those discussions have really just begun so let's let's let him get through the process but Randy Levine is dealing with City Hall about that right now here again that's really about all I got for you on that regard when that he's on it been a long last month I don't think I've got so little sleep since college is what I'm telling everyone so I'm not cut out for that anymore of my age but look it's it's always in any industry a very exhausting process but in the end you know there's there's compromise and there's you know listening to the other side about their concerns and trying to address those concerns well at the same time walking away with it with a deal you can be content with and happy with them I think both sides should be happy for this deal I think it's going to be really good for the players how you had the experience in the room of talking to some of your players in a very different way you usually interact with them how was that for you to learn anything about Britain coal tie-on by releasing them in a different way it was good dialogue it was it was not overly contentious or anything like that look we're all different human beings so some people some people are a bit more emotional than others and it's no different with with the different players that are in the room or the different owners that are in the room for that matter but it all went well the meetings I had with them they were larger meetings and then they went well in November you reported the voted for lowering the CBT considering the perceived Yankees financial might can ask you why you look that there were seven of us on labor policy we're pretty representative of the of the entire you know ownership group and we made a decision that even if it took weeks of debating amongst ourselves which it did months in fact we were going to come up with a proposal that all seven us seven of us would support and ask any one of us seven of us and there's going to be things in there that were less thrilled about than others but again all seven of us can say that but the idea was to come up with something that we could all agree on and support because we felt that was important for the next step which was to you know start negotiating with the union so how the primary principle there is to be unanimous rather than agree with every point in a given proposal unanimous in that we can we can support this proposal going forward to the unit to start the process so one shouldn't for an individual owner's opinion on each issue based on their vote I think that's safe to say probably and and again you could say that about all seven of us all seven of us there are things in there that we were you know less thrilled about than others that's the nature of it how the measure of success for the Yankees has always been to little world championship has that changed in any way shape or form it has not do you think it's still realistic with this team we have now absolutely I think it's realistic are you optimistic I'm always optimistic makes you most optimistic about this year say again why are you optimistic of this ball because I think they have what it takes this is a championship caliber team you know I think the trade that cash made was it was it was a great trade you know we're gonna miss the guys that moved on but I think we we addressed one or two of the needs that we had but look this team's got a lot of experience it's a veteran team they got a lot of heart and I think we're gonna see great things this year
