00:00So I think this was the only player they were going to blow up the payroll this much for,
00:05get into like about 315, 320, which is where I think they'll be.
00:09And now, will they go and find a right-hand hitting catcher? I think so.
00:13Will they find another relief pitcher? I think so.
00:16Will they keep an eye on the starting pitching market? I think so, and that's least likely,
00:21but I think at a lesser number. Like, I think if Bellinger doesn't resign,
00:25they might spend more in some other places, but at over $30 million a year for this player,
00:32I expect now that Hal Steinbrenner will say, this was the one. It makes us whole.
00:37And because he's such a Swiss Army knife, he's such a good baseball player.
00:41It worked in New York. You know, he plays three outfield positions.
00:44If Ben Rice has trouble at first, he could go seamlessly to first base and help there.
00:49He hits lefties. He hits in the clutch. His numbers at Yankee Stadium were great last year.
00:55You know he, question's gone. You know he could play in the city.
00:59You know that.
00:59And so he's a answer to the puzzle for them.
01:04And now I think around the edges, they'll see if they can improve some other stuff.
01:08But I don't think the big, any more big stuff is coming.
01:11I'm always, could be surprised.
01:13Could be surprised.
01:13This was the big move that I think was going to be allowed to happen.
