Locked On Yankees - Daily Podcast On The New York Yankees

We’re a little worried about the Yankees’ bullpen. It’s stacked with righties, there’s only one lefty and we don’t really know who the closer will be. There’s also a guy who came out of nowhere who could make the team and be a part of the bullpen. And it looks like Greg Weissert could be the odd man out for now. Who will be the surprises? And who do we think could end up being the closer? Could it be a closer by committee or will someone emerge? And is it possible the Yankees could trade for another lefthanded arm at some point in 2023 to address the lack of lefties in their bullpen? We’re two days away from opening day and we still have lots of questions to answer!

Volpening Day is happening! Anthony Volpe has made the New York Yankees’ Opening Day roster and Stacey and Steve admit they were wrong. They discuss the chances of Volpe actually playing with the big boys and bring up how Peraza was called up and barely played. Will it be different for Volpe? Plus, Luis Severino injured his lat again but it’s in a different spot than the lat injury that kept him out for two months in 2022. Good? Possibly. Stacey and Steve discuss the Yankees options. The roster is being whittled down and they’ll let you know who was optioned down to Triple-A including Oswald Peraza.

The WBC lived up to the hype and it ended in a way that Hollywood couldn’t even dream up: Shohei Ohtani vs. Mike Trout in the final game, in the final inning and in the final at-bat. Spoiler alert: Trout struck out and Japan won the championship. Stacey and Steve discuss the amazing ending to the tournament and Steve tries to calm down after such an intense final at-bat. 

Luis Severino pitched on Tuesday and it was a mixed bag. There’s one stat that alarms both Stacey and Steve and they talk about how Severino needs to turn some things around or this season will not be a fun one for him or for Yankee fans. And will Matt Krook make the Opening Day roster? It’s possible the left-hander could be in the bullpen to start the season.

Spring Training is kinda boring so thank goodness for the World Baseball Classic! The US had a great weekend beating Venezuela on Saturday and Cuba on Sunday to advance to the finals—they await the winner of the Japan-Mexico matchup on Monday. The energy at the ballpark was electric and the fans were really into it by oohing and ahhing on nearly every play. 

The Yankees also had a busy weekend with Nestor Cortes making his Spring debut, Isaiah Kiner-Falefa making his debut in centerfield and Gerrit Cole having his worst inning of the spring. Plus, the Yankees announced the winners of the 2022 Kevin Lawn Award which awards the Pitcher of the Year and the Position Player of the Year. Congrats to RHP Will Warren and OF Jasson Dominguez!

Stacey and Steve admit they were wrong about Anthony Volpe after comments that New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone made about the young infielder. Could he actually be with the Yankees on Opening Day? There’s a strong possibility. How about Jasson Dominguez? Well, Stacey and Steve were right about him. He’s going to have to wait to make his Yankee Stadium debut.

We also look at the Opening Day roster with Volpe and possibly Peraza on it and try to figure out which 26 guys will be with the Yankees. And we answer listener/viewer questions!
