The New York Yankees and their offseason and the first chip to fall here, Trent Grisham,

accepting the qualifying offer, which makes my partner upset.

It does.

It does because I think that this is the potential, that's the operative word, but the potential

domino that leads to a really bad Yankee offseason.

And I'll tell you why. I do not think that they make the ultimate play for Tucker. Put them aside. They're not bringing Bregman in. Put him aside. I think the Yankees right now were basically banking on rolling this back with pretty much everything they had last year, hoping that Bellinger is still back. And I think he will be. But you've got to add to it, as you said before, not just lose something and then, you know, and then just kind of like add to something that you lost. You've got to add to what you already have to actually win a World Series. So I fear that the Yankees are looking at the return of Garrett Cole as enough of a push forward to be a World Series champion. I don't see that. I don't feel that right now.

I like their team. I think they'll be a playoff team. I think they'll be good. But there's just too many deficiencies. And now you're paying Grisham $22 million versus five? Let me ask you something. If he's sitting $1.90 like he usually does, are the Yankees going to sit him making $22 million? My answer is no. I would think that they would.

They have to.

But they haven't done that enough in the past with the guys like the Hickses going to sit him making $22 million? My answer is no. I would think that they would. They have to.

But they haven't done that enough in the past with the guys like the Hickses and the DJ. So I'm just concerned. Number one, I think they severely misplayed, misread this. Everybody but them, you know, like everybody was saying, hey, he's not going to sign that. So they basically threw this out there, rolled the dice and got burned because they were worried about some stupid compensatory pick.

I don't care. everybody was saying, he's not going to sign that. So they basically threw this out there, rolled the dice and got burned

because they were worried about some stupid compensatory pick. I don't care about picks. But most people do think that, I was talking to that industry source, remember I was talking yesterday? Same guy? Yeah. Same person, I mean? Same person. It is a guy, yeah. And it's not Andy Martino. I mean, some people online are just so stupid.

Is that what they always say every time you say,

spoke to somebody's handy?

What could you work with them?

By the way, if you, Yeah, yeah. And it's not Andy Martino. I mean, some people online are just so stupid. Is that what they always say every time you say, spoke to somebody's Andy? What could you work for them?

By the way, if you actually listened to the clip yesterday that when we were talking about this, I was talking about industry stores and what he was saying that he believes that's going to happen with Alonzo. Yeah. I couldn't have said it any softer on the clip that they posted. And I did that

purposely because people, they just lack comprehension, they hear what they want to hear, they don't listen to the whole segment, they take things for what they want. And still some people had an issue with that. I was not reporting anything. I wasn't even, I said, quote, it isn't gospel. I'm just talking to somebody in the industry. He said he's like, oh, Who sells making it up? Okay, you moron.

And by the way,

you think I had an easy day

with the Cam Scadaboo stuff?

Whose side do you think
