00:00He's hitting over .300 as a Yankee.
00:01His OPS is over .800.
00:02He's hit five home runs.
00:04He reminds everybody of Robby Cano.
00:06Oh, yeah.
00:06So far, and obviously, it's only three and a half weeks.
00:09I get that.
00:10But as we check in on the early returns of the Brian Cashman trade deadline,
00:14Luis Garcia was a monstrous acquisition.
00:17And a must acquisition, obviously, in hindsight,
00:20knowing what happened to Giancarlo Stanton.
00:22Monstrous, and at the time, it felt like,
00:24oh, this buys them time while the offense struggles.
00:26No, no, no, no.
00:27This is an important under-control bat
00:29that this team desperately needs.
00:30Yeah, I look at it more as they needed a good bat,
00:32and he will force his way to play depending on where.
00:36That's everyone else.
00:37Like, Stanton being out obviously makes it likely
00:39Garcia plays first, Rice D.H.'s.
00:41There's also the possibility that if Jazz Chisholm didn't start hitting,
00:44he has, Garcia could go back and play his natural position to second base.
00:48So to me, the acquisition of Luis Garcia was great
00:51because he's a good bat.
00:52And you'll figure out the position stuff afterwards,
00:55but when you look at the state of this lineup,
00:58which over the last few days has made you feel like
01:00it's the late 90s offensively as opposed to 2026.
01:04I said late 90s.
01:05I kept it broad.
01:06Oh, okay.
01:07I should have said early 2000s.
01:11Well, you don't win anything, but, boy, you score a lot of runs.
01:15Garcia's been great.
01:16Elliot Ramos, here's why it's too early to tell you.
