 switch over to the Yanks. So the New York Post has a story that the Yankees are contemplating a train of Gary Sanchez. And they've also, as first reported by the MLB Network, been in touch with Yadia Molina's agent. Now, the Molina thing is intriguing to me, but he's 38 years old. And he had a really bad season this year. Now, you can wipe that away and say, well, 60 game season, everybody gets excused. Then if you're going to excuse his awful season, then you can excuse Gary Sanchez. Now, the one thing that you're going to get with Molina is exemplary defense, but he wants a two year contract at 38. Now, there are other ways to go. But if you want James McCann, who's had two good offensive seasons, he's going to cost a lot of money too. I don't think you're going to be playing in the, in the playground with J.T. Rio Muto. He wants a five year deal over 20 million a year. Would you give the entire catching job to Kyle Higashioka? Can you really picture Molina leaving St. Louis? Nine time gold glove, nine time all star, won two championships with the, with the Cardinals. You really think he's, he's going to leave or are they just playing games? But I think the biggest part of this story is that they're listening to offers for Sanchez. And from what I know, if they had put Sanchez in the deal two years ago to Rio Muto, he would have gone, the, the Marlins would have traded him to the Yankees and not the Phillies. And maybe things would have been different. But right now, Don, is it wise to, I know what they're doing because even though he hit 130, whatever, he's arbitration eligible. So he made five million last year. He's at least going to get a raise. You never get cut. So he's going to make $6 million. You want to pay him $6 million if you can't play anymore. But so if they don't offer him that contract, then somebody's going to get him for free. But if you trade him, you're not going to get anything close to the things that you were offered in the past. You're selling a distressed asset. But do you think you can improve with Molina? I don't know. He's going to be 38 years old. Now the Mets are in on him as well. So there is a market for him. And you go back to his last full season. You know, 270, 20, I was at how many home runs, 10 home runs. There was a great defensive player, but he is a tremendous defensive player, but he's a guy. He played 113 games in 2019 because you're not going to play every single day. So was he going to play at 38? I don't know. Sanchez is interesting to me because you can't you can't be stubborn enough to think we're going to make it work. Going to make it work because we've got to gotten more form back in the day and we didn't. So we got to make it work. I think you really saw the cracks Michael in the post season when he basically lost his job. Oh, I mean, the fact that they played, right? Kyle Higashioka in games that they had to win and there's no knock on Higashioka. I like him, but Gary Sanchez was the be all end all two years ago. Right? Well, even even last year, you know, and now, now I think it's over. So if it's over, then you got to look elsewhere. And I don't know if Molina is necessarily the replacement, but I don't think you hold on to him just because of what you could have gotten in the past or how much you believed them in the past. You played big games last year, Michael, in which he was not part of your team. You chose to have Higashioka play ahead of him in game in elimination games, an important game. So it looks like it's over. So move on. And with those numbers, Michael, are there many catchers that are worse? I really believe that we know Higashioka is better defensively. You could definitely do that. You get it 143. I think that Kyle would probably hit in the 200s and he's got some power, too. So they're probably thinking we could get this guy doing this at less than a million and not and in the post story, it says a lot of it's tied into what Lemayu does. Because if they have to pay Lemayu over the $20 million they expect to pay him, one of the ways they're going to cut salary is that they won't pay Gary Sanchez six. Right. Now, by the way, this is hot stove stuff we're talking. Get closer to the radio, everybody. Lean in. Monday following this show on yes, the first hot stove of the year. I'll be on it. Show Walter Lorenz, Benny Agbiani, Curry, Flaherty. I think Meredith as well. It's going to be a rip roaring show this Monday, right after this. I'll tell you, that's great. But I mentioned this in my 230 extravaganza. I heard today, were you here and you've been hearing this for years, too. You know, the Yankees are going to be a little conservative. They're not going to spend a lot of money. They've got a budget. And now there's going to be a team in town that might be able to stretch those limits. And when was the last time we said that there was a story in today's post that the the Mets, if they do everything they want to do, they will have payroll higher than the Yankees this year. And you know, that's that's fine. But that's not kind of what I'm looking at. I'm looking at that there might be players, there might be a situation where the Yankees are out and the Mets are still in because that player priced themselves out. Or the Yankees just don't want to swim in those waters. And even if the Mets don't get that player, Michael, it's just nice to know that the Mets are in the deep end of the pool. Right. And it might be the Yankees who are kind of swimming more towards the the three foot area, the shallow end. And the Mets can stay out there for as long as they want to. And we'll see if it ends up being the case. I'm sure I'm sure Cohen's got a budget too. But we haven't talked about a team in New York outspending the Yankees in 20 years.
