The New York Yankees are being mentioned along with Shohei Ohtani, but not for a good reason. An article by Jeff Passan from ESPN (linked below) discussed the Yankees' hesitation in even trying for Ohtani. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Spoiler alert: It’s not great! They’re the Yankees. Stacey and Steve discussed the report and talked about how not trying for a big free agent is worse than trying and failing. Let us know below if you agree. Then, our friends at Locked On Rays brought up a possible trade idea that would send Kyle Higashioka to the Rays in a rare intra-division trade. Stacey and Steve go through the logjam at catcher and discuss what Higgy could bring to the Rays in a possible trade. Plus, what would your ideal catching rotation be? Right now, the Yankees are chock-full of them.

The New York Yankees have a player who should stay a Yankee for a long time: Gleyber Torres. Stacey and Steve discuss Gleyber’s impact on the team and why they should consider extending him instead of trading him away. They talk about his performance, his influence on the younger players from his home country of Venezuela, and his philosophy on winning. Then, Stacey and Steve discuss the results of The Athletic’s MLB fan survey. There were some Yankees involved in the survey, and spoiler, Gerrit Cole got a lot of love from fans. There were also general questions about the game and Commissioner Rob Manfred's performance. Watch as Stacey’s mind changes within seconds when Steve explains his position. And what about the pitch clock? You shouldn’t be surprised about the results of that question.

The New York Yankees were not good offensively in 2023, and on today’s episode, Stacey and Steve are going through the Top 5 things the Yankees need to fix in 2024. We know the Yankees had a lot of offense issues in 2023, but we narrowed it down to five, including their problems with runners in scoring position, their problems getting on base, hitting the ball hard in the air, and diving into some numbers to back up these issues. Plus, we discuss the players who need to rebound in 2024 and the young players who need to step it if/when they’re given the chance to play—specifically, guys like Anthony Volpe, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Oswald Peraza. Then Stacey and Steve talk about the report by Jon Heyman that said the Yankees are interested in a reunion with Jordan Montgomery. Is this a good thing? Should he bother? Where would he slot if this happens? We talk about it.

The New York Yankees have some major decisions to make this offseason, and the Locked On Yankees audience has questions about some of those decisions. What if they only get Soto? What if they only get Yamamoto? How long do they wait before trading or DFA-ing Giancarlo Stanton if he’s having a 2024 that’s similar to his 2023 season? What about Nestor Cortes? What if he’s a flash in the pan a la Aaron Small and can’t rebound in 2024? And when it comes to this offseason, do the Yankees have to be the big, bad, scary Yankees and spend a lot of money in order to fix their problems? Or are there too many problems and too few solutions (i.e., available, impactful free agents)? We were asked by a new baseball fan of about a year to recommend one Yankee game to watch. Stacey gave a couple of suggestions, but we want you to do the same down below in the comments and help out our newest Yankees fan. We answered whether or not we think Gerrit Cole was helped out by the pitch clock in 2023 and how short or long a leash will ownership/the FO have with Boone in 2024 and replace him with Brad Ausmus.

The New York Yankees hired Brad Ausmus as their bench coach this week. What does it mean? Stacey and Steve try to figure that out along with talking about his career thus far, his credentials, and what he brings to the Yankees’ coaching staff. It’s Thanksgiving, and we have much to be thankful for at Locked On Yankees. Stacey and Steve tell you what or who they are thankful for, and we also hear from some viewers about what they are thankful for. And finally, since it’s Thanksgiving, we set up a starting rotation of Thanksgiving dishes. Who’s our ace? Who is the longman? Who will make a good number four? Find out!

The New York Yankees didn’t finish 2023 the way a lot of people predicted they would and two of those people were Stacey and Steve who had pretty bad takes throughout the season. Come on a journey and look back at some of their worst takes of the 2023 season including calling this Yankees squad one of the best of the last decade (before everything fell apart, tbh.) and calling for them to buy at the deadline. But it’s not only bad takes in this episode. Both Stacey and Steve had takes that were pretty spot on as well and we look at those. Then Stacey and Steve make completely unadvised predictions for 2024 without even knowing what the final roster looks like. Their hope is to look at the takes from this week in 2023 and make fun of them in 2024. Feel free to leave your 2024 predictions in the comments below this video!

The New York Yankees have a few familiar names on the 2024 Hall Of Fame Ballot but first, former Yankee Zack Britton announced his retirement, and The Athletic has an article with quotes by Britton, who has an interesting perspective as a player who once played against the Yankees and played for the Yankees. Stacey and Steve discuss what Britton had to say about how the Yankees have changed since he was an opponent and what he thinks they should do to return to that former status. Then. Stacey and Steve discuss Aaron Nola’s seven-year deal with the Phillies and the pitchers who are left in free agency, including guys like Eduardo Rodriguez, Lucas Giolito, and Jack Flaherty (just to name a few). Then Stacey and Steve discuss the former Yankees on the 2024 Hall of Fame ballot and pick two guys they think should make it in. There are a lot of interesting first-time players on the ballot as well and they talk about the chances they may have to make it in eventually.

Should the New York Yankees sign the best reliever on the market in Josh Hader? In this episode, Stacey and Steve break down Hader's career, why he's been successful, project his future in the game, and look at his projected salary this offseason. They come to a conclusion on whether or not it's smart for the Yankees to go after him in another edition of Making the Case.

The New York Yankees have been making the news for some not-so-positive reasons, and one of our Fanmail Friday questions addresses that. Plus, are you letting the Yankees not winning a championship in nearly 15 years affect you personally? Stacey and Steve have some advice for you. Who would be the better trade piece between Michael King and Clarke Schmidt? Stacey was asked about their favorite Yankee from the 1998 squad, and the answer may surprise you. There were a couple of questions about the offseason with regard to trades and signings and whether or not Hal Steinbrenner would step in if he didn’t like what Cashman was doing. Stacey and Steve answered those questions as well. Who do they think will step up in 2024 after having a down 2023? Stacey and Steve have different answers to that question. They answer a question about the luxury tax threshold, which is pretty high, and Brad Ausmus and Curtis Granderson as coaches.

The New York Yankees have another Cy Young winner! Gerrit Cole was unanimously voted as the American League Cy Young Award winner for 2023! Cole was one of the only positive things in an otherwise forgettable Yankees season, and we celebrate his big win! After finishing as the runner-up in 2019 and 2021, he finally wins his first Cy Young in 2023. Hmmm, does this mean he’ll be in the running again in 2025? There’s something to look out for. Stanley and Steve gush over Cole’s 2023 and have video reactions from current and former Yankees. Plus, Steve unearths a clip from early April in which he predicted this outcome. Then we read some tweets from his former teams, including the UCLA Bruins, and we go through some of your reactions and congratulations to the Yankees’ ace. And finally, we reveal a poll we put up in May in which we asked you if Cole would win the Cy Young in 2023, the results were surprising.

The New York Yankees had a big problem on offense last year. One of the guys contributing to that problem was Giancarlo Stanton. Last week, during the GM Meetings in Arizona, Brian Cashman had some things to say about the slugger that came to light this week. They weren’t necessarily untrue, but they were things that probably should’ve been left unsaid. Stanton’s agent, Joel Wolfe, was not too pleased with what Cashman said and released a statement. Stacey and Steve discuss the entire brouhaha, including quotes from Cashman and Wolfe. Plus, what’s the connection to Yoshinobu Yamamoto? Then, the Yankees’ new hitting coach, James Rowson, also discussed Stanton in a nicer way than Cashman and talked about how meaningful a good relationship is between him and the beleaguered outfielder. Then, the Yankees expressed an interest in a reunion with reliever Wandy Peralta, who is currently a free agent. Stacey and Steve discuss that possible move. Plus, are the Yankees in on Aaron Nola? Jon Morosi seems to think so. And finally, the Yankees added two players to the 40-man roster, and the moves may be surprising.

The New York Yankees were plagued by injuries to their starting rotation in 2023. Save Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt, everyone else was out for long periods of time. So should they go after one of the big fish in the free agency pond? On Today’s episode, Stacey and Steve make the case for signing for lefty Blake Snell. They go through what MLBTR is projecting for a possible contract then go through who Blake Snell is, what he’s done so far in his career, and what he could bring to the Yankees. Yes, most people know these things about Snell but think of it as a review for an exam. Then, they discuss his pros (there are a few) and his cons (there are also a few) and conclude whether the Yankees should take the risk and sign him. Who says yes? Who says no? Find out and let us know below what you think about Snell and whether the Yankees should go after him.

The New York Yankees are looking for a bench coach, Anthony Volpe is trying to recruit players and the Arizona Fall League is over. We start off with a discussion about Anthony Volpe telling Jason Heyward that he would look good without a beard and we talk about what Heyward did in 2023 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and what he could possibly bring to the Yankees in 2024. Then it was reported David Ross turned down the Yankees and doesn’t want to be a bench coach. But it was also reported that the Yankees are looking into Brad Ausmus and former SF Giants pitching coach Andrew Bailey for that position as well. We discuss pros and cons for both. Then Steve catches you up on the Arizona Fall League. A few Yankees impressed while one had some issues. Volpe suggests Heyward: https://nypost.com/2023/11/09/sports/anthony-volpe-wants-yankees-to-check-in-on-jason-heyward/ Heyward’s resurgence: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/12/sports/baseball/jason-heyward-dodgers.html Ross denies Yankees: https://theathletic.com/5055056/2023/11/11/yankees-david-ross-coaching-job/ Join the LOY Insiders Club via subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankees What is the insider's club? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQ Follow Stacey on Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGots Subscribe to Steve’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevegranado Follow Steve on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranado Follow the Show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankees Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The New York Yankees will enter 2024 looking to rebound from their disastrous 2023 season. In our Fanmail Friday episode, Stacey and Steve answer some questions about possible free-agent targets and scenarios. Have the Yankees shown any interest in an outfielder from the KBO? They also answer a question about Jonathan Loaisiga’s place in the bullpen in 2024. Plus, which Yankee, past or present, would Stacey and Steve want to have a meal with? Both answers may be surprising. How is Oswaldo Cabrera doing in Winter Ball? Where would Stacey and Steve like to see MLB expansion happen? (There are four answers. Two from each of them.) Do they think Gerrit Cole will opt out after 2024? More questions about Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman’s odd pressers this week and where will the Yankees go to look for a new bench coach and hitting coach.

The New York Yankees need a left-handed bat in their lineup. Luckily for them, there’s one available in free agency, and his name is Cody Bellinger. On today’s episode, Stacey and Steve “Make the Case” for Cody Bellinger. Steve lets you know what MLBTR is projecting for Bellinger and goes through last year’s top free agents to show what MLBTR predicted and what the players actually got. Then Stacey and Steve go through who Cody Bellinger is, what he’s done so far in his career, and what he could bring to the Yankees. Yes, most people know these things about Bellinger but think of it as a review for an exam. Then, they discuss his pros (there are a few) and his cons (there are also a few) and conclude whether the Yankees should take the risk and sign him. Who says yes? Who says no?

The New York Yankees had problems in 2023, and owner Hal Steinbrenner and President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Brian Cashman spoke to the media today. Cashman, who was at the GM Meetings in Arizona, addressed the assembled media outside of the venue. He was combative and punchy nearly the entire time, and we parsed through a few of his more interesting quotes. We react to his quotes and also set the record straight on one of the quotes that was taken out of context. Then we discuss what Principal Owner Hal Steinbrenner said during his Zoom with members of the media on Tuesday afternoon. He said a whole lot of nothing if we’re being honest, but he did say one thing that should make Yankee fans feel better because he revealed that he does actually know how disappointed they were with the results of the 2023 season. That’s more than we can say about Cashman. And finally, the Yankees may be close to acquiring a new hitting coach. We tell you about James Rowson and why we think you should be excited about him.

The New York Yankees have many options in free agency if they choose wisely. Stacey and Steve go through a list of 11 Top Free Agents they think will help the Yankees. The Yankees can’t sign all 11, obviously, but even two or three could improve the team a lot in 2024. First, they go through the positions where the Yankees need help, and then they discuss the options. They open with the offensive options, including Cody Bellinger and Kevin Kiermaier, and they include a dark-horse candidate for the offense and outfielder. Then, Stacey and Steve explore pitching options—both starters and relievers. They are the obvious choices, like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell, but what about the bullpen choices? There are a few guys who could really turn the already potent Yankees’ bullpen into a legitimately scary group. Then, Stacey and Steve celebrate Anthony Volpe’s Gold Glove win! Volpe became the first Yankees rookie to accomplish the feat and only the second shortstop. The other? That dude named Derek Jeter. And finally, Carlos Mendoza, the now former bench coach for the Yankees, has been hired by the New York Mets as manager. Mendoza is new Mets manager: https://youtu.be/K5G2nx-xzGA?si=q_L1wGJzmUGTgEph&t=1099 Join the LOY Insiders Club via subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankees What is the insider's club? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQ Follow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGots Subscribe to Steve’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevegranado Follow Steve On Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranado Follow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankees Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The New York Yankees were home while the Rangers and Diamondbacks played in the 2023 World Series. Stacey and Steve already discussed what the Yankees can learn from the Rangers, so now it’s time for: What can the Yankees learn from the 2023 Diamondbacks? They go through how the Diamondbacks got to the World Series, which was a combination of good drafting, riding the hot hand, and overperforming. They discuss what the Yankees can learn from Arizona regarding letting the youth play, having a manager to motivate the team when they’re on a bad slide in the standings, and having a veteran steer the clubhouse. Stacey and Steve also discuss the Diamondbacks’ weaknesses, which ultimately prevented them from winning a title. Then, they discuss their final thoughts and compare the two teams. Can the Yankees learn a thing or two from the Diamondbacks? Sure. But will they? That remains to be seen. What can they learn from Rangers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3GK38uCDnA&ab_channel=LockedOnYankees Join the LOY Insiders Club via subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankees What is the insider's club? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQ Follow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGots Subscribe to Steve’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevegranado Follow Steve On Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranado Follow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankees Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The New York Yankees made some cuts. It’s officially the offseason for everyone, and the Yankees made some moves right away, putting six players on outright waivers. Pitchers Domingo German, Ryan Weber, Jimmy Cordero, and Matt Bowman, and outfielders Franchy Cordero and Billy McKinney. If they clear waivers unclaimed, they all have enough service time to become free agents. Stacey and Steve discuss these moves. Were any of them surprising? And does this actually mean anything in terms of what the Yankees are looking to do this offseason? Plus, it’s Fanmail Friday, and Stacey and Steve are answering your questions about hands-on owners, Hall Of Fame hitting coaches, the balanced schedule, and the recently finished playoffs. Then, Carlos Mendoza, the Yankees’ bench coach, has interviewed with the Mets and Guardians this offseason. What happens if he goes? Stacey and Steve talk about all the coaches and what it would mean if Mendoza left the organization he’s been with since 2009.

The New York Yankees just watched the Texas Rangers win the 2023 World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In this episode, we wanted to know: what can the Yankees learn from Texas’s successful 2023 season? Stacey and Steve looked at the front office and roster strategies that led Texas to going on this run. They also looked at the different strengths and weaknesses of the Rangers, including their offense, their bullpen, and the back end of their starting rotation. Stacey and Steve discussed their moves at the trade deadline to improve the team and help them make this playoff run (i.e., the Jordan Montgomery trade) and how sure they were about making those moves (unlike the Yankees, who were ultimately wishy-washy and barely did anything to improve the team at the deadline). Plus, what are the similarities between the Yankees and Rangers, if any, and what can the Yankees do to improve their team so they can also make a World Series run sooner rather than later? We discuss it all and want to know what you think the Yankees can learn from watching the Rangers slowly build from a 102-loss team in 2021 to World Series Champions in 2023.

The New York Yankees have another Roberto Clemente Award winner! This time, it was Captain Aaron Judge’s turn to win the honor which was bestowed upon Derek Jeter way back in 2009. In case you don’t know about the award: “The Roberto Clemente Award is bestowed annually to the player who best represents the game of Baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy, and positive contributions, both on and off the field.” Judge spoke to the media in Arizona ahead of Game Three of the World Series and discussed what winning the award means to him, and he talked about how he thought about how he could give back to the community as early as draft day way back in 2013. Stacey and Steve discuss the importance of the award and basically gush about how cool a dude Judge is. Then, they talk about the significance of the 2023-24 offseason. They discuss the reasons why it’s so important for the Yankees and, more specifically, the front office and Brian Cashman and wonder what would happen if the offseason is a bad one and the Yankees continue down a bad path in 2024.

The New York Yankees could be scary in 2024, but in a good way! Stacey and Steve discuss the ways (most of them probably unattainable, but bear with us) that the Yankees could become good again in 2024 and, perhaps, scary depending on who they get in the offseason. Soto? Bellinger? Yamamoto? Snell? Ohtani? All of them? Two of them? It could be fun! Then, Stacey and Steve hand out Halloween superlatives for the Yankees. Who wouldn’t care that it’s Halloween? Who would go all out? Who would give out the good candy? Who wouldn’t? They try to figure it out. And finally, Stacey and Steve discuss Game Three of the World Series, which was kind of a dud and could spell trouble for the Texas Rangers even though they won. They discuss why.

The New York Yankees had one pitcher who shined above the rest in 2023, and that pitcher was Gerrit Cole. On today’s Locked On Yankees, Stacey and Steve countdown the Top 5 Gerrit Cole moments of 2023. We talk about strong pitching performances (obviously), which were hard to narrow down after the year Cole had, and we also talk about some moments that weren’t exactly in-game. Gerrit Cole had a fantastic year, and we had fun with this one. Then we discuss the World Series! Texas took game one with a comeback victory thanks to a really bad pitch by Paul Sewald and the postseason monster Adolis Garcia hitting a walk-off home run, but in Game Two, the Snakes bit back with Merrill Kelly becoming the first pitcher to pitch 7+ innings in a World Series start since 2020. Who will win Game Three? We’ll find out on Monday night.

The New York Yankees have some decisions to make this offseason and for Fanmail Friday, Stacey and Steve were asked about the possibility of signing both Cody Bellinger and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. They gave answers, and one of them was surprising. Then they answer more questions about Brian Cashman and Hal Steinbrenner, MLB rules (Do they like them? Do they want more?). Stacey has a take Steve thinks causes a stir, and Steve thinks something that’s already implemented may need a set time limit. Then they answer questions about signing Juan Soto (not trading for him) and the organization’s hitting philosophy. Then, Stacey and Steve take a break from baseball to talk about Halloween.

The New York Yankees will be looking for a new hitting coach this offseason. Sean Casey announced on Wednesday that he wouldn’t return to the team in 2024, citing family reasons. Stacey and Steve react to the news and wonder what this means for the Yankees going forward. Also, does this mean there will be a change in philosophy throughout the Yankees’ Minor League system, which still follows former hitting coach Dillon Lawson’s practices? Then, Locked On Yankees’ viewers were asked who they will be rooting for in the World Series. Stacey and Steve discuss being surprised at the results but not necessarily about the choice. And they preview the World Series. They scrutinize Texas’s strengths and weaknesses and Arizona’s strengths and weaknesses and make bold predictions about who will win the series, in how many games, and who will win the MVP. Casey out: https://theathletic.com/4998245/2023/10/25/yankees-hitting-coach-sean-casey-not-returning/ His podcast: https://youtu.be/7Sah8kRUQOE?si=71o57ya6oG7dxHC3 Join the LOY Insiders Club via subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankees What is subtext? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQ Follow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGots Subscribe to Steve’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevegranado Follow Steve On Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranado Follow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankees Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! birddogs Go to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONMLB or enter promo code LOCKEDONMLB for a free water bottle with any order.

The New York Yankees are looking to right the ship during the 2023-24 offseason, or so they say, but how much will they rely on their players to help the front office with their decision-making? Aaron Judge has come out and said that he wants to help the Yankees with their supposed overhaul and that he has ideas, while Gerrit Cole has been reluctant to be as vocal as Judge. Should the Yankees listen to the highest-paid player on their team and franchise player? Will they listen to him? How realistic is it to think that the front office will actually use Judge’s input regarding offseason deals and decisions? Then Stacey and Steve talk about the former Yankees who are heading to the World Series, including Aroldis Chapman, Nate Eovaldi, and Jordan Montgomery, and they discuss the culture around the Yankees. There are a bunch of fun teams in the playoffs with lots of personalities and flair. Could the Yankees be fun again like they were in 2017, or are they regressing back into the uptight, business-like Yankees of the post-dynasty era. And finally, the World Series matchup is set and Stacey and Steve talk about the exciting Game 7 in Philadelphia.

The New York Yankees could be in the running for a big-time pitching fee agent. 25-year-old Yoshinobu Yamamoto! Stacey and Steve broke down Yamamoto’s credentials in a previous so on this latest episode, this time, they talk about how getting Yamamoto could help the Yankees in 2024. They go through the possible pitching rotation with him and without him (we’d prefer with him), and it came out that he prefers to play in a bigger market, so that’s a plus for the Yankees, who are in the largest market in the land. The Yankees need to get someone big this offseason, so why not Yamamoto? Then Stacey and Steve catch you up on some Yankees news, including Aaron Judge’s number being retired, Oswaldo Cabrera playing in the Venezuelan Winter League, and the Yankees’ All-Prospects team. And finally, they discuss the conclusion of the American League Championship Series.

The New York Yankees had a forgettable season, and some moments made us scratch our heads, roll our eyes, and wonder what the heck was happening. On today’s show, Stacey and Steve countdown the Top 5 Dumbest Things in the Yankees 2023 season. There are quotes, odd IL trips, questionable actions from players, and more! We won’t spoil any of them, so you’ll have to watch, but Stacey and Steve go through the Top 5 and also go through some honorable mentions because if we’re being real, this could have been a Top 20 list given how the Yankees 2023 season played out and how unceremoniously it ended. Then Stacey and Steve talk about another dumb subject, Alex Rodriguez, talking about how he’s bothered that his #13 hasn’t been retired by the Yankees and that it was issued to Joey Gallo in 2021. He appeared on an NYC radio station and discussed the reasons why he thinks his number isn’t retired, and Stacey and Steve go through all the reasons why his number will never be retired by the New York Yankees because guess what? Alex’s and Stacey's and Steve’s don’t match up.

The New York Yankees traded Jordan Montgomery for Harrison Bader in 2022, and now Montgomery is pitching well in the playoffs for the Texas Rangers. Could he reunite with the Yankees? That’s one of our Fanmail Friday questions for this week. Stacey and Steve also discuss a possible Kim Ng-Yankees reunion, whether or not the Yankees have shifted their focus, i.e., player development, and Trey Sweeney’s future role with the team. Plus, do any front offices use analytics as an excuse for why trades don’t work out, and Stacey and Steve give their picks for breakout player in 2024. Then they talk about NLCS Game Three between the Diamondbacks and Phillies, which was one of the more exciting pitching duels so far in the playoffs and one of the more exciting endings so far in the playoffs, with the Diamondbacks walking off and winning a game at home to prevent the Phillies from going up 3-0 in the series.

The New York Yankees have two Gold Glove finalists for 2023! One is not too surprising, Anthony Volpe, and the other one, Anthony Rizzo, pretty surprising, given he only played in 92 games. We review their numbers and their fellow finalists’ numbers and figure if either one of them has a chance. Spoiler alert: We think Volpe has a shot. Then, we discuss the trade rumors/scenarios surrounding Gleyber Torres. Should the Yankees do it? Could the Yankees do it? When would be the time for them to do it? And what would that mean for the team? What would/could they get for him, and which team would want him? And finally, we discuss Game Three of the ALCS between the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers. Don’t forget to leave your questions for Fanmail Friday in the replies to the pinned comment below!
