00:00A, B, T, J.
00:02Anything but Tommy John.
00:04Yep.
00:04If you get an update that he even needs a minor procedure,
00:08he needs the Tarek Skubel procedure.
00:10Which is the loose body procedure.
00:11Right, and I'm not saying that's the case.
00:13None of us actually know.
00:14Max Fried downplayed it when he left yesterday's game.
00:16Like, it doesn't feel like a big deal.
00:18And maybe it won't be a big deal.
00:19Obviously, that's the best case scenario.
00:21But as long as you avoid catastrophe,
00:23because that's what Tommy John is,
00:25especially for someone who's had it already in his career.
00:28Granted, it was a decade ago,
00:29and it would finish off his season.
00:31Anything that allows Max Fried to return this season,
00:34believe it or not, I would take as a victory.
00:36And you want to know why?
00:37Because the Yankees are A, good enough to sustain it.
00:40Garrett Cole's on his way back.
00:42Right, withstand it.
00:42Withstand it.
00:43We know how good this rotation is.
00:45To me, it's all about Max Fried being healthy
00:47and ready for the games that matter in October.
00:49So as we sit here today waiting for an update,
00:52I know that's a very conservative approach
00:54to say anything but Tommy John.
00:56But just looking at this team
00:58and looking at the way they're equipped to withstand it,
01:00anything that keeps him ready to come back this season,
01:03I would view as,
01:05okay, we escaped the worst case.
