 are the Yankees thinking the same way the fans are the fans are all thinking we need another starting pitcher we need to help this rotation forget that we're winning this division if we're gonna beat Houston if we're gonna beat the Dodgers in the World Series we need pitching yeah are the Yankees thinking that way because they passed on Keigel they could have gave Corbin the extra year during the offseason didn't do it or are they looking at listen come playoffs we're not gonna be asking our starters to go that deep anyway what good would be to go get some guy that can go eight brilliant innings when the first time they put somebody in scoring position in the fourth we're gonna be taking them out and going to our bullpen they're itching to go to this bullpen Alan I'm wondering I they think they're gonna give up and invest part of their future to go out and get a starting pitcher that they're probably not gonna ask go the more four four innings in the postseason anyway I think this is the point where they probably felt over the winter because you didn't know Severino was gonna get hurt you had no idea about Severino remember right so you're thinking you got Severino coming off the injury a bad second half but you're figuring he's gonna go back to being that guy we saw the second half first half of last year where he was a young candidate he was an all-star he's great so you had that on top of Tanaka that you wanted to for the most part you only need to Paxton was supposed to kind of be that third guy Hap fills it out and then CC you thought perfect sets it up nobody thought to me go home on was gonna be part of the rotation and oh my god what a hero he was in the first half going what nine and one yeah so that you got lucky with that one just like you got lucky with our shell and everything else but that's why Corbin I think you understood why they went there we have Severino with talk to Tanaka we shouldn't have to overpay Kaikal is spin rate on the decline does he really fit what we need you know you kind of still believed in Paxton you thought you know he'll get over the neat thing he'll be fine we'll get through this and they ended up getting I guess they got outbid is how that worked out which is very bizarre so you don't get him but you didn't see a lot of it almost there wasn't a lot of urgency to get now now there's urgency well you would fish if you think so the fans think so but do the Yankees thinks well why would Cashman come out and actually tell us that starting pitching is something that they're looking for what if he if he's not lying no no everybody everybody's looking for starting pitching yeah all right but I don't know if he's sitting there desperate where he's gonna give up the farm for it because everybody wants starting pitch right you look at Strowman who's a guy that's that's he's pitched in the postseason before not well but he's pitched in the postseason before he gets right-handers out he's from New York that he looks like that's a guy that you'd want to go after me so Minnesota so there's gonna be a bidding war for him and I could see the Yankees going the same way they did with Kaikal where they showed interest same thing with Corbin where they showed interest but in the 11th hour they weren't willing to go the extra mile so but you see yeah he was still was interested in starting pitching they went out and got Paxton right but you know what they wanted Corbin but they didn't want to give him the extra year they wanted here to get they wanted Kaikal but they didn't want to go the extra money okay so I think they're interested but Minnesota who hasn't won anything since 1991 they're gonna go the extra mile to get that picture I don't think the Yankees are going to try to outbid Minnesota I think they're gonna try and then they're gonna go listen the our analytics tell us that guy's not worth all these prospects and they're not gonna make the deal reach a point as a franchise where it becomes winning time where when you're building like two years ago you know they did the sunny gray thing they were a younger team that run that they had was I'm not gonna say it wasn't was it a surprise me getting to game 7 ALCS with a team like that that the younger group you know that was fun all right last year felt like a stagnant year right and it was sort of like trying to figure out who they are this year became it's go for a time okay it's time because everybody's still under control your big star players are still somewhat under control you not to pay a ton of guys here right judge Sanchez all those guys still somewhat under control this would be the time then to be all in and go for it this is the go for a year so this to me would be the deadline where you go for it it has to be you know if if if a pitchers out there like there's no with Cinder guard and the Astros want them and you want them and the Astros are willing to pay something and you're not and he's the difference in just all it is one game in a series all it takes is that one game in a series and if he's that difference in that one game and it costs you get in the world series that prospect you wouldn't give up or that player you wouldn't give up had better turn into a superstar otherwise that's on your hand and look gone in 60 seconds one of my favorite movies and I've made this reference many times for Brian Cashman it's been 10 years starting up finding a starting pitcher that's going to be a difference maker they've had a couple of good good ones but I mean a difference maker that's his Eleanor every time he's tried it has failed something has gone wrong every time you go for it like that's again sunny gray seemed like that was that made sense there's been times he's gone for pitchers and it's all made sense and it doesn't work out it's been his Eleanor and this is something that I think will he'll carry with him he's not perfect but this is the one thing if he can find a starting pitcher this time around it could be the difference between winning a championship and not and I think you're absolutely right but why do I feel like Brian Cashman and the Yankees aren't thinking the same way I don't understand what that question means I mean I you just say it's winning time what else are they looking for you're missing my point they are looking for a starting pitcher but you're saying they're all in so you have to be over if Minnesota is gonna give that extra prospect because they want Strowman then if the Yankees want Strowman they're gonna have to give up that extra they can't lose it why do I feel like they put a budget on everybody either financially or prospect wise and if it exceeds that budget they're not budget I just I that's the way I went with Corbin listen they were they were all in this year it was winning time yeah right you knew Severino they know so I was gonna get hurt but Severino was awful in the second half of the year explain it though Corbin would have been excessive if you didn't have the injuries you had
