 And I believe this is a really, really big injury. James Paxton underwent a microscopic lumbar disectomy with removal of a paradiscal cyst. Did it today. His approximate timeline to return to Major League Baseball Action is three to four months. Here's what I don't get about that until we get all the information. He hasn't pitched yet in spring training. I don't even know if he's down in Tampa, probably not yet. So this is an injury that was pre-existing. Why did you wait until February 5th to have the surgery? And now he's gonna wait for, I guess what the answer would be. June, they'll be in June return. The answer will be this. Well, we were treating a conservator to see if it got better and it didn't. Unless is this around the time where you get your physicals before the start of the season? Maybe it was something that was just discovered. Well, remember he had that problem on his upper buttocks or whatever last year. This sounds like that's what it's from. So again, I don't wanna play doctor here on the radio, but you can't say that's not an insignificant blow because remember down the stretch he was 10 and 0 last year. He was really good. But you're getting him back in June. So what does your rotation look like now? You've got Cole at the top of your rotation, right? Right, Tanaka. Tanaka. Severino. Now J-Hap and Jordan Montgomery. All right, I mean, you're okay. You're okay until June. I don't care. You can't sit there and tell me if the Yankees are, I don't know what the record would be. Let's say they're 15 and 30 in June. You can't blame that on Paxton. You should be able to survive it. Montgomery is a guy that belongs in this rotation as a fifth starter. You should be able to survive it. You tell me he's out for the year. I could see you're a little concerned about it, but if he's pitching in June, which means you're gonna have him healthy for the entire second half of the season. And then you'll also have Domingo Hermon join the rotation. We don't, do we know? At some point, I mean, he's gonna, they've given a suspension, right? How long was it? A couple of months. And so he's gonna join somewhere in the middle of the season. You have Davey Garcia. But if the Yankees had plans to trade J-Hap, though, to get under that third luxury tax threshold now, you can't really trade J-Hap. Fans don't seem to care about that. I mean, the current roster seems to be pretty set. I mean, you gotta be able to- So Hermon, 63 games left in his suspension. So that's about two and a half months. If you're a baseball team, Michael, you have to factor in injuries to your starting rotation. It just makes sense. I mean, how often do you go through the entire year without somebody of your top five and the rotation going down and growing under the table is for a significant amount of time? So it just happens that it's gonna be at the start of the year. Montgomery is gonna be your guy that's your fifth starter and is available to you whenever somebody gets hurt. Now you don't have the CC factor. Now, let me be honest, though. Your fourth starter would have been either Tanako or Severino. That's a big difference between J-Hap and your fifth starter would have been J-Hap and that's a big difference between J-Hap and Jordan Montgomery. With their offense, I get what you're saying. It shouldn't be something that derails them, but you can't say it's an insignificant injury. It's significant. Well, it's significant seems strong, Michael, because you're gonna lose guys in your rotation. You can't expect everybody to go out there and make 30 plus stars. You don't expect to lose them in spring training. But I'd rather lose them, I would rather lose them till June than find out in September. I don't have them for October and a playoff run. I mean, I think the Yankees, listen, you never know, obviously that the raise might actually be better. Maybe Toronto gets there a year earlier than we expect, but this is a team that I think is the odds-on favorite to win the division. You can't let, what would he have been? Your third starter? Who? Paxton. You guys- The second or third? The second or third starter, sit there and say significant means that it's gonna hurt you. You're not gonna be where you wanna be in June because of that loss. And I think that that's a little bit of hyperbole. I think that they can survive this easily. They've got an offense that should be able to win some games. If you told me he's not available for the post-season, then that's significant to me. If I have him pitching for me in June, I'm good. I think you're underselling it because if he misses half the season, right, three months. Well, that's not- But now you're extending it. But no, that's three to four months. So you- So three to four months from now, June 1st. But he's gotta get ready too. So let's just say a liberal interpretation what he's gonna be come back mid-season. Okay. So he's gonna miss 15 starts. So those 15 starts are now being taken up by Jordan Montgomery, who's a nice pitcher. He's not James Paxton when James Paxton's dealing. That's a big deal, I'm sorry. No, because how many starts are we talking about? 15. All right, that's exactly- They make 30 starts a season. What can Paxton be in those? What will the Yankees' record be with Paxton making all 15 of those starts? Christina, no. No, I know. 13 and two, 12 and three. All right, so 12 and three. So what would their record be with Montgomery making those 15 starts? Maybe nine and six. That's three games. Three games to be is not significant for a team that many expect to win over 100 games again. We had the same conversation when we thought Dee Dee was gonna be out for half the year. Did they miss them? That was- And that's an everyday player. There's two ways to look at this. There's, oh, here we go. The Yankees are gonna miss games. It's not gonna be a big deal. And Don and I are hearing everyone get worried again. There's nothing to worry about. Then there's the flip side of here we go again. This is the first injury. What if it's like last year? What if all of a sudden you're going, well, this isn't that big a deal. And then before you know it, you turn around and you have many. Like just the fact that we're talking about an injury already that you hadn't heard of at all. Right, nobody stepped on a blade of grass yet. That's problematic in the sense that they're coming off a year where every possible injury seemed to happen. So it's not ideal, but I'm kind of with Don. I don't see this being something that derails the season.
