 Everybody Bob Lorenz here along with John Flaherty and Jack Curry some Yankees hot stove talk You can only see on yes's social channels and the name you will hear a lot on the socials Jack will be DJ Lemay you right if the Yankees are looking toward this offseason with a number one priority Bob as they are DJ Lemay you has to be that number one priority last two seasons He has finished third and fourth in the MVP voting and here's what you have to like about DJ Lemay you He hits the ball hard. He hits the ball to all fields. He plays multiple positions around the infield now He's a free agent and his agent is telling teams that he's worth five years $100 million and if you're DJ Lemay you you have every right to ask for that amount When will the Yankees decide about offering him a deal and how deep will they swim in those waters? You know, that's the thing about free agency and especially when it comes to Lemay you he loves the angst The Yankees love him, but it's always that tantalizing and problematic equation. What's the number? Yeah, I smiled when Jack mentioned the agent right the agent is always going to want the most years the most amount of money But when I think of DJ Lemay you and the perfect fit that it was as a New York Yankee for two years Not only what he did out on the field and Jack detailed it Offensive side the way he plays defense in multiple positions But he seemed like a perfect fit in that clubhouse a very low maintenance player for Aaron Boone to manage My belief is that he's gonna want to come back and you would hope if you're a Yankee fan that he tells his agent Yeah, you want five years and all this money. I want to make sure I get a deal done get it done quick You know the best fit lead-off spot. That's where he thrived and that's where the Yankees need him back Right if you're looking ahead to 2021 and there's an uncertainty about that We don't know exactly what the season will entail where there'd be fans in the stands But if you're a Yankee fan, you want one certainty DJ Lemay who is leading off for the Yankees whenever they play their first game in 2021 and I know when players get north of the age of 30 We've seen a trend in baseball where teams just don't want to sign those players They don't want to pay those players to me Lemay who and the type of hitter that he is doesn't matter if he's 32 34 36 it's not as if he's going to suddenly stop being that type of hitter You know, I just can't imagine the Yankee lineup without DJ LeMay you in it, right? You think about all the sluggers Aaron judge Stan Sanchez when he's right There's a lot of swing and miss in that lineup when you have LeMay you at the top puts the ball in play Gets on base. He sets the tone for that lineup gets himself in scoring position So the big boys can do what they do best guys great stuff That's gonna do it for this Yankees hot stove social media exclusive Make sure to keep your eyes on our feeds for more and check your TV listening for air times of all of our hot stove programs
