00:00I do not think the Yankees are as gung-ho to bring Lombard up as their fan bases.
00:06They are very concerned about screwing with what they feel is a natural gestation period
00:12for what a prospect should go through that was slowed down for a few weeks by a hand injury
00:18recently. And I know even very, very pro-Lombard people in the organization who are like,
00:28call your jets. The best thing for him would be to come to spring training next year
00:33with us having left the spot open to try to win the job. The second best is let's see it
00:39in September.
00:40So I'm not, I'm not ruling out August. I'm not ruling out August 4th. Like who knows how desperate
00:46the Yankees are? You know, if Caballero or Volpe get nicked up, you know, like you're going to have
00:54to bring up a shortstop, but I think that they, they're trying to take a deep breath and be
00:59level-headed about a prospect they love and not rush it at a time where there's some stressors
01:08outside the organization pushing for them to do it. And I would point out, it's probably a lot of,
01:14like when it's fan voices, it's probably a lot of the same people who were screaming for Volpe,
01:18right? It's probably a lot of the same people who were screaming for Spencer Jones. It was probably
01:23a lot of the same people who were screaming for Jason Dominguez. Like the backup quarterback is
01:28undefeated.
