So the first one I'd start off with on a fair met Yankee trade is the smaller one, the one with less risk.

0:06.6

Are you ready?

0:07.8

Risk for whom?

0:08.7

For everybody.

0:09.4

Because I think the bigger the prospect or the bigger the potential, the bigger the risk, the thing hole blows up.

0:15.7

For a fit wise this season, Trent Grisham for Jeff McNeil.

0:38.6

If you're the Yankees, McNeil plays second. You move jazz back to third. I kind of want jazz at second. I'm just saying. I don't love that one. You don't love that one? It's interesting, but I don't love it. Would you do that, Tommy? I would not. I think we've seen the, I know, I've been rough on Jeff McNeil.

0:40.9

I think we've seen the best of Trent Grisham.

0:46.0

It's impossible to think that he's going to even come close to duplicating what he did in the first couple of months.

0:47.6

And McNeil gives you that versatility. And McNeil gives you some pretty good center field defense right now.

0:50.8

He's not going to be a gold glover like Trent Grisham is. Well, that's the difference. But you, I mean, you don't know when Trent Grisham's going to regress to his

0:57.8

mean. Yes, no, no, you're right. And I think Trent Grisham's having a career season. I mean, all the numbers indicate that he is. He's already hit as many home runs. He's hitting any in any season. His OPS is the highest

0:52.3

that's been, so I'd agree with you. But he's a free agent

0:54.2

at the end of the year. And I think that's a

0:55.8

win now, fit now

0:58.2

kind of move.

1:14.4

Like you improve your defense in centerfield.

1:16.6

Grisham has had as good if not better. He's actually had a better offensive year than McNeil. And so just in the short term of it,

1:09.1

but it's not ideal because you're pushing jazz back to third base

1:13.1

after that whole scenario that we talked about three weeks ago where he's a second baseman. I spent spring training second base. No, you're right. They told me I was playing second base. You're all right. That is a negative to this because McNeil doesn't really play third base for all the versatility he has. I got to admit, as a Met fan, I think I would do it.

1:45.2

As a Yankee fan, no. Fair enough. And Lukey as a Met fan says, no, and I'm surprised he's not a big McNeil guy. My thinking behind why I would do it is it's a short-term fit kind of move. And you've even said, Tommy, Jeff McNeil's not long for the world. You wanted to trade him during the offseason last year.

1:42.3

They do have emerging second basements.
