 only hope for positive outcome. But they're you know it's also possible that there isn't one. So we just have to wait and see clearly if you could wave a magic wand and and do it right and and not have the suspension the suspense play out. I'd rather fast forward to the end. So we know what the result is but but that's just not how this system works. What is the contingency plan if you can't land Lame here. Like always would you know ultimately come up with what's the best options you know. But we're going to exhaust his option first mean which is to try to keep them here and he loves playing in New York loves playing for the near Yankees and our fan base and he likes you know clearly loves his teammates and so there's a lot of things in our favor. But ultimately it comes down to the the financial opportunity that we provide as it's measured to the financial opportunities that others are providing and and that's the big unknown and only him and his family and his representation can navigate that. How handcuffed are you this offseason financially considering everything that happened last season with no fans in the stands. I mean certainly there's a lot of more a lot more discussions and things to navigate that we've had to deal with. And so it's a hard question to answer. There's no one that provides more we we will be the number one payroll regardless of anything that's happens which is a huge statement in the zone right. But obviously since we've made a huge commitment to others already. You know it affects your you know flexibility and viability you know as you move forward. So every step that gets taken needs to be carefully worked through and measured with all your needs as a organization in the present because ultimately we have a team we feel that can compete for a world championship and it does need some additional help with that that would include you know D. J. LeMay use return we hope and along with maybe some other opportunities. But time will tell. You know Hal Steinbrenner and his family have provided you know so much for so long and and that commitment still there right now so and it always will be. Does Masahiro Tanaka fit into the picture if you sign LeMay you. You know I I don't think by rules of major league baseball in the union. I'm allowed to answer who does or who doesn't or what does or what doesn't I think we're supposed to be projecting complete secrecy on what we can and can't do what's what is workable what isn't workable. I think that's not supposed to be a transparent transaction. You know I think it the game is supposed to be set up in a way that the players benefit from full you know protection so they can you know extract as much perceived competition as there is in their contract negotiations with other clubs and have everybody you know unknown about who's capable of doing more or less. And so I got us I got to stay silent on that question. I'm sorry. We saw a Glaber tour is full time at short last season. He had some struggles defensively. Do you feel as though he can be a successful major league shortstop or do you consider moving him to second base. I think you can do both. I think he's a better second baseman than shortstop. I think that he can play shortstop. I think that ultimately he struggled in the beginning of the pandemic 60 game season because he you know after the spring training one shut down into spring training to he did not you know and it's not my plan to blame game. But he wasn't the best shape to start the second spring training. So on his return from the shutdown. We spent a little bit of a first half of the season playing catch up. Maybe it's the first 40 or 45 games a season playing catch up and and once we got him back online in a shape you saw towards the last 20 games including the playoffs to Glaber tours or used to seeing. So I think I think the season that overall the ad isn't a representative representing what he really is. It's more along the lines of what you saw in the postseason what you saw the previous year which anybody would want. So he's more than capable playing short. But I know he's a better second baseman than a shortstop. Do you enter spring training whenever that may be thinking Gary Sanchez is your number one catcher. I mean yeah I ultimately I think going into the season next year we will let it will let it play out regardless. But there's certainly an anticipation and expectation of a bounce back for Gary Sanchez. You know the talent level is there. You know we're only a year removed from what an all-star American League all-star catcher perennial 30 plus home run hitter.
