00:00the bellinger issue is probably like issue number one as they begin this offseason will they or

00:04won't they and i've seen this framed a lot as bellinger or tucker and to me if i'm the yankees

00:11it's bellinger or something else like i i've got to say i get it on a piece of paper what kyle

00:17tucker looks like uh but just the idea of like the yankees must throw money into the mouth of

00:25the offseason to satisfy a certain kind of fan and fan base like to me kyle tucker is not a 350

00:31million plus dollar player if you told me it's not bellinger and they said hell we'll have bad

00:37defense at first base we'll sign kyle schwarber to play first i'm not suggesting they don't spend

00:41money if you say sign alex bregman a goddamn winner to play third base and you trade the third baseman

00:49you have back out into the industry i'm for it but i don't see this as bellinger versus tucker

00:55bellinger fits with the yankees and i would not be spending you know 35 plus million a year for 10

01:03years on kyle tucker that's me he leaves me cold when i watch him play is that a fan thing i don't

01:09i don't i don't see that at all with tucker with the yankees i mean i could see the phillies

01:13i see that potentially the dodgers the giants the i kind of think if it's the blue jays perfectly he's

01:19the blue jay player right he doesn't swing and miss and he could be a supplementary player which is i

01:24think what he wants to be in the vlad world yeah like yeah is there a supplementary 400 million

01:29dollar player because i think he's gonna if he doesn't get 400 million he's gonna he's gonna get

01:33close there are a lot of reasons bellinger fits the yankees better first he did it in new york we so

01:37we know he can do it in new york uh he can play center field which is a question now grisham also a

01:42free agent he can play first base right uh goldschmidt also a free agent probably not coming back uh and

01:48he's a lot cheaper and frankly the yankees are not owned by mark walter they're owned by a guy

01:53who's looking at the at the bottom line right so uh to me they're going after bellinger and and that's

02:00it i i don't know i don't see tucker for the yankees now will they talk to him they talk to

02:04all everybody talk to harper they talk to machado they talk to everybody uh but i mean they also have

02:10the best right fielder in the world right overall hitting and defense right uh so i tucker to me is a

02:16non-fit for the yankees if that that's the way it happens a lot of a lot of things will have to go

02:20a little bit haywire i think right like if he plays uh i guess that means if you sign tucker

02:26it would mean you trading dominguez uh like what what are you doing right because putting judge back

02:32in center seems like a non-starter at 34 uh so unless tucker says he's going to play center again like

02:38like i just think that there's this hey you're not trying if you don't get the most expensive player

02:44i'm all for them spending money i mean he's that's all my i'm ready i think he should spend

02:50money like like mark walter spends money right i i it certainly isn't it the dodgers have done a lot

02:56of things great you know they they obviously own japan right now which is a really smart thing that

03:01they did uh it isn't only about the money but they are about 80 million dollars ahead of the yankees

03:06at this point and right now the i mean their revenues are neck and neck it's hard to know exactly

03:11you see different lists who knows what the revenues are maybe the dodgers revenues are a

03:16little bit ahead because certainly otani uh is a cash cow so that probably helps but they're both

03:22teams are way ahead of everybody else and the dodgers are way ahead of the yankees in payroll so

03:27i'm not against them spending money but tucker makes notes to me tucker fits a lot of the big

03:32market teams it's not a real fit with the yankees

03:35you
