The day your baseball season ends and I think this goes with all sports,

0:04.0

basketball too football as well. It's always an awkward following day because

0:08.8

there's a part of you trying to figure out what went wrong, you know, you're kind of

0:12.3

of figuring out what happened in that last game that caused your season to end, and then your brain quickly takes you to the future.

0:20.0

And the Yankees have a very questionable future that we've known about for the last seven months because they went out and made an aggressive trade for a great all-time player in Wandsoto.

0:31.0

And we all knew what they got going in. They gave up a lot, but they got a great player. A player that I admit as an IBO has been a joy to watch. And I admit that selfishly because early in Wands career, T he was not a joy to watch he was in my division as a met fan and

0:46.7

while I always respected him it was painful to say the least and obviously watching him every day with the New York Yankees, he is everything I thought he was, if not more.

0:58.0

He is one of the greatest hitters I've ever laid eyes on. He battles every single at that. I think he's a little overrated

1:43.9

MLB free agency because it's sort of here but not really players hit free

1:48.7

agency the day after the world series ends and then there are five days before other teams can begin negotiating.

1:55.0

So in five days he'll be open to the world.

1:58.0

But there is a lot of uncertainty on if they're going to be able to bring him back.

2:01.0

Yeah, of course.

2:02.0

Would you agree that that should be priority number one?

2:04.5

I mean, it has to be, but I think it's everybody's priority.
