 Before anybody that roots for the Yankees or anybody within the Yankees said okay Let's make the big run for Manny Machado. You are gonna bring in a guy That is gonna play at his own pace. He's got phenomenal talent And if they signed him he'd put up great numbers But do you want to enter that sort of a player? Into the ecosystem that you developed on this team because one thing you can say what you want about Stanton You can say what you want about judge You can define their careers whichever way you want the type of players. They are Every time they hit a ground ball they run hard to first base every single time Can't say that for Sanchez Can't say that for every player on the team But those two guys are the big stars and they run hard to first base every time so does Gardner. So does Hicks You're gonna bring in a guy when you have very very young players that he can influence That's gonna loaf it down the first base every now and then More frequent than every now and then do you want to expose? Glabor-Torres to that do you want to expose and do harder just to thought everybody not saying that you signed It was the end of the world, but this is a guy in the last year of his deal Can't find it within himself to run hard to first base every ground ball he hits I know it bothers me too unless we find out that he's got an injury and he doesn't want to hurt it by Running out of ground ball. He knows he's gonna be out for Kano did it Yep, and they offered him a seven-year deal that he could have very easily taken so if the fans don't like it doesn't necessarily mean The Brian Cashman won't mm-hmm It's interesting, but he's a singular talent, and if you don't have DD for half the year Yankee fans I would think if you put it to a vote if you ran it up the pole 80% would say you know what bring the guy in It's interesting though because if you get him and DD comes back then you are essentially saying Miguel Anduor is not the third baseman. Yeah, I'm not really sure they're that love with him anyway How could you not be in love with him as a hitter you can find someplace else to put him Well, where if you're gonna put him at first that eliminates void and bird Well, if he's that good of a hitter, which we agree he is then maybe you can get something for I thought Joel Had a good column he's 26 years old if you're gonna sign him don't go into a 10-year deal because the bottom of the deal is gonna be awful Off from a five-year deal of 40 million a year Then he becomes a free agent again at 31. Would he take it? I don't know There's probably some team that'll give him a 10-year deal Do the eighties want to fly in that orbit where they also have Stanton for nine more years and at some point Judges gonna be free agent. Well, maybe what you hope is is that Stanton can be dealt to the Dodgers if they lose Machado Like let's say this team full short of the world series again or loses in the world series again And if they're gonna lose the talent that they traded for would they then be aggressive and try to get stand Ah, can you make room now? No, because I from what I'm hearing the Dodgers will not re-sign them They've got Turner. They've got Seager Seager is coming back. So maybe they they say, okay, we'll take stand possible Now would you rather have stand them Machado or would you other I think Machado's a better player than Stan? But Stan plays hard all the time he doesn't I watched him a lot his whole career with the the Orioles and he had a guy Who was a stickler for that and also the star on that team or the leader of that team Adam Jones ran hard to first base every time And it's still young sometimes man. He didn't sometimes man Again, Manny is a singular talent. Sure is they don't come along very often
