00:00A-Rod said this, and Bichette agreed with him, that moving because the guy who's there is a great player
00:07makes this easier.
00:08In his case, Jeter played shortstop. It was understood. He was a four-time champion. He was the captain of
00:14the team.
00:14He wasn't going to move for Alex Rodriguez if Alex Rodriguez was arguably at that moment on trajectory to be
00:20the greatest shortstop of all time or not.
00:22You know, the Yankees weren't going to disrespect Derek Jeter, so it was understood.
00:26And A-Rod said, you know, you don't want to move for a utility player. You want to make sure
00:30you're moving for a good reason, and he's moving for a good reason.
00:33Same is true here with Francisco Lindor, who's kind of on a Hall of Fame arc as well.
00:39Maybe not quite as obvious as Jeter's was, but I think if this is where he continues, he ends up
00:43in Cooperstown.
00:44And Bichette said, yeah, it's easier to do it. You know you're doing it for a star.
00:49But I thought Bichette also said something interesting about the move that I think says something maybe about him.
00:54He said, all the ego about playing shortstop went out the window when I played second base in the World
01:00Series.
