00:00Is Tucker, is that a real possibility?

00:02To me, you know, they already have the best right fielder in baseball.

00:06Now, Tucker could certainly play left field.

00:08Certainly, they could find room for him.

00:10I mean, what do you think the chances of this actually happening?

00:13Well, I think the only way you're going to get Tucker, John, is a high average annual

00:17value, a shorter term deal with opt-outs.

00:19So let's say you give them $135 million for three years with opt-outs.

00:23Do the Yankees want to add $45 million a year average annual value to their payroll?

00:28I think that's the big question.

00:30It is amazing to me, though.

00:31This guy was so highly thought of when he was at the Astros.

00:34And then he goes to the Cubs in an injury play gear where he still was a plus-war player.

00:39He doesn't have the same love on the market.

00:41And, you know, I wonder what his market is.

00:43I wonder what Bellinger's market is.

00:45I really do.

00:45I think that Scott Boris is waiting to see what Tucker gets before he really moves on

00:50Bellinger.

00:51I don't think Tucker's close to signing.

00:52I might be wrong.

00:54So if I'm the Yankees, I'd be interested in him.

00:56But I know the Yankees are concerned.

00:57They don't want to be too left-handed.

00:59We'll see.
