 Great to have you with us here on our Hot Stove set for our Hot Stove segment the yesnetwork.com Bob Lorenz John Flaherty and Jack Curry with you So Yankees making it official on Monday DJ Lemakie a board for two years. You broke the news first. What does it mean for the Yankees? Well, it means they have a player who's a gold glove second baseman who guys they say they're going to try and use it in Multiple positions. They'd like to try and use them at second first and third He's mostly been a second baseman his career So we'll we'll see how this pans out And if you are reading the tea leaves of where the Yankees are going by adding a to Lewitsky by now adding a La mayhew that is telling you that they are not moving in the direction of Manny Machado and talking to some people over the weekend the Vibe I got from the Yankees is that that is not a marriage that they expect to happen now until Machado is actually Signed sealed with another team. There's always a chance that something could change But flash we're seeing with their moves that they're telling you that Machado doesn't seem to be a fit No, I agree with you and congratulations I'm breaking the story because I didn't see this one coming Anywhere really I mean it kind of surprised me and then you start to break it down and say how is La may you gonna fit Into this lineup. Where is he going to play defensively like Jack said a second baseman who can play first can play third We'll see how that looks in spring training, but I think the big thing offensively He's a right-handed hitter who drives the ball the other way has hit a lot of ground balls in his career But started to get the ball in the air more last year So you wonder if the analytics department sees something there and says maybe Yankee Stadium getting the ball in the air a little bit More and a high contact guy, which is what we heard at the winter meetings a lot of the Yankee executives saying We have to do a better job putting the ball in play. La may you definitely does that But enlisting to you all offseason long Jack you've said he Machado could go to the Yankees at their number Do you think the doors 100% closed yet for Yankees fans who wanted him signed boy? You're putting me on the spot I don't think it's 100% closed, but I think it's pretty close I think it's in the 90 percentile because they're showing you with the decisions that they're making That they're moving in another direction one quick thought about Machado in the Yankees from some Reporting I did over the weekend when the Yankees started to meet about Machado in the offseason There was a division in the room amongst their baseball people There were some people who were in favor and there were several people who were not in favor when you're thinking about a Contract of that size and you have some powerful voices in the room We're saying we don't want to sign the guy at any price to me It's going to be hard to get that entire room to agree So I think that's the situation that they're in right now There's some talk about the other offers that are out there in the white socks There's been one report that they're at 8 and 250. I always thought that if the Yankees got Machado It was going to be at their number and I don't think their number ever got to that point from what I was told They never even made him an offer. All right, so we've ticked off a bunch of things Or the Yankees have off their list looks like maybe last piece could be one more piece for the bullpen Yeah, one more bullpen piece I mean out of vino is obviously the biggest name on the free agent market a big strikeout guy from the right side I mean that would be a perfect fit You don't know financially if that's going to fit into the equation with luxury taxes and all these different things That are going on but Brian Cashman said he wanted two pieces for the bullpen. He brought back betting Britain He's gonna need one more piece. All right That's gonna do it for now keep up with yeses social media feeds and yes Don't work com for the latest on the Yankees plus make sure to check your listings for air times of Yankees hot stove.
