00:00I think the two ways they could go, my sense from talking to people, is if everything were perfect, Mason
00:08Miller would get out in the market, which I'm not a real strong believer in.
00:13I'm not a strong believer he's going to get out.
00:15And the Yankees do everything they can to win for him.
00:19And if they do, I think it means what they'll have left to use from their farm system is to
00:25get more secondary bats, to try to raise the floor of the offense.
00:29Like, can you get a better version of Rosario?
00:32Can you get a better backup catcher?
00:34Can you, like, I think you raise the floor of the offense and hope that with the better run prevention,
00:40which gets even better with Miller, you hold on until Bellinger, Judge, and they hope Stanton come back.
00:46I think without Miller, they would then use their better prospects to see, is Zach Neto really available?
00:54I mean, really available.
00:56Like, not just something, look, I've heard from people who've talked to the Angels that he's available, but he's not
01:02somebody they have to move this second to maximize him.
01:05They could wait till the offseason if they really want to do it and do it, but they can do
01:09it now.
01:10Hunter Goodman's defense is a real concern, especially his framing.
01:15The Yankees have been at the forefront and may be the best team at teaching it.
01:21Can you make bad acceptable, and is he worthwhile to give up a big package for?
01:28Because the one thing you would get with Goodman if you went in that direction, say, is he could catch,
01:34but also while Stanton and Judge are out, he could DH when Wells is catching.
01:39He can play a little first base, and in Yankee Stadium, could he stand in right field?
01:45Well, hell, they had Stanton stand in right field.
01:47So I think he could do a little of that, because I think at this point there's a beggars-choosers
01:52thing.
01:52They need more offense.
