Summary

BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over the hypothetical trade for Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager. Sal, prioritizing a World Series push, argues that even 100 games from a two-time World Series MVP is worth the risk, advocating for a potential move to third base to manage his recurring hamstring issues. However, Tierney is vehemently "not interested," likening the trade to acquiring a physically unreliable Giancarlo Stanton and expressing concern over Seager's significant contract and extensive injury history. They discuss whether sending prospects like Wells, Rice, and Volpe is too steep, and debate if the Yankees' biggest issue is relying on their underperforming young players or Brian Cashman's "risk-averse" philosophy.

New episodes every Wednesday. Listen and follow Free Range with Vaughn Miller, where nothing is off limits and every down counts. New episodes every Wednesday. Listen and follow Free Range with me, Von Miller, wherever you get your podcast. I saw, I don't know if it was Talking Yanks. Was it Talking Yanks who had the proposed deal of Austin Wells? What text did I send you guys last night? Was that the Volpey Rice? Yeah, Wells. Wells, Rice, and Volpe for Seeger. I mean, to me, that's not even enough, honestly. But would you do that? Take on, C. How hard would you be going after Corey Seeger? I'm not interested at all. What? And it's got nothing to do with wanting to hang on to Wells or Volpe. Obviously, I love Ben Rice. You know that. But, I, to get a stud, you gotta give up a stud. I just, he's not physically reliable anymore. Doesn't this kind of feel a little bit like Mike Stanton? So let me lay it out for you. In 2021, he missed 60 plus games. In 2022, he played the entire season just about. But the next season, he missed 40 plus, and then in 2024, he missed 40.

1:46.2

And then this year, he's missed 60.

1:48.1

And this year, he's had two DL stins due to his hamstring.

1:51.5

In 2023, he missed 31 games, hamstring.

1:55.0

In 2019, hamstring, this guy's, there's no guarantee that he's playing.

2:00.4

I know Corey Seeger is a stud. I mean, two-time World Series. What about if you moved to third base? I was reading John Harper for my colleague over there, or Buddy Hart. Love Harper. And he was talking about maybe the Mets going after him and having him play third. Why couldn't the Yankees have him play third? Okay, they could. So now, now I'd be a little bit more open to this or so that means getting the $16 million this year and next year off the books for McMahon. Like, I've got to look at this from two points of view. And I'm less concerned about giving a prize. I'm going to win, damn it. I screw the prospects. I'm tired of this. So just I'll trade whoever you want if it's the right player. Everybody knows that now. School Bowl, whatever. It doesn't matter. Skeens, take whatever you want.

2:34.3

But there's a lot of... I'm tired of this. So just I'll trade whoever you want if it's the right player. I like it. Everybody knows that now. School Bowl, whatever.

2:35.1

It doesn't matter.

2:35.7

Skeens, take whatever you want.

2:37.2

But there's a lot of money.

2:38.9

He's making $31 million this year, next year. Yeah, 28, 29, 30, and 31. So I look at it this way, Sal, if Corey Seeger was a free agent today, and he's not, we know,

2:52.0

based on all the games he's missed, would you give him a six-year $190 million contract? Would you? Because I wouldn't. Right now? Yes, today. I would not. Okay. Well, that's what it's equivalent to. Now, I wouldn't have really done it, Dan, but I know a lot of Yankee fans wanted him. I wanted him then.

3:07.5

Yeah.

3:07.9

I did not.
