Locked On Yankees - Daily Podcast On The New York Yankees

The New York Yankees have been making the news for some not-so-positive reasons, and one of our Fanmail Friday questions addresses that. Plus, are you letting the Yankees not winning a championship in nearly 15 years affect you personally? Stacey and Steve have some advice for you. Who would be the better trade piece between Michael King and Clarke Schmidt? Stacey was asked about their favorite Yankee from the 1998 squad, and the answer may surprise you. There were a couple of questions about the offseason with regard to trades and signings and whether or not Hal Steinbrenner would step in if he didn’t like what Cashman was doing. Stacey and Steve answered those questions as well. Who do they think will step up in 2024 after having a down 2023? Stacey and Steve have different answers to that question. They answer a question about the luxury tax threshold, which is pretty high, and Brad Ausmus and Curtis Granderson as coaches.

The New York Yankees have another Cy Young winner! Gerrit Cole was unanimously voted as the American League Cy Young Award winner for 2023! Cole was one of the only positive things in an otherwise forgettable Yankees season, and we celebrate his big win! After finishing as the runner-up in 2019 and 2021, he finally wins his first Cy Young in 2023. Hmmm, does this mean he’ll be in the running again in 2025? There’s something to look out for. Stanley and Steve gush over Cole’s 2023 and have video reactions from current and former Yankees. Plus, Steve unearths a clip from early April in which he predicted this outcome. Then we read some tweets from his former teams, including the UCLA Bruins, and we go through some of your reactions and congratulations to the Yankees’ ace. And finally, we reveal a poll we put up in May in which we asked you if Cole would win the Cy Young in 2023, the results were surprising.

The New York Yankees had a big problem on offense last year. One of the guys contributing to that problem was Giancarlo Stanton. Last week, during the GM Meetings in Arizona, Brian Cashman had some things to say about the slugger that came to light this week. They weren’t necessarily untrue, but they were things that probably should’ve been left unsaid. Stanton’s agent, Joel Wolfe, was not too pleased with what Cashman said and released a statement. Stacey and Steve discuss the entire brouhaha, including quotes from Cashman and Wolfe. Plus, what’s the connection to Yoshinobu Yamamoto? Then, the Yankees’ new hitting coach, James Rowson, also discussed Stanton in a nicer way than Cashman and talked about how meaningful a good relationship is between him and the beleaguered outfielder. Then, the Yankees expressed an interest in a reunion with reliever Wandy Peralta, who is currently a free agent. Stacey and Steve discuss that possible move. Plus, are the Yankees in on Aaron Nola? Jon Morosi seems to think so. And finally, the Yankees added two players to the 40-man roster, and the moves may be surprising.

The New York Yankees were plagued by injuries to their starting rotation in 2023. Save Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt, everyone else was out for long periods of time. So should they go after one of the big fish in the free agency pond? On Today’s episode, Stacey and Steve make the case for signing for lefty Blake Snell. They go through what MLBTR is projecting for a possible contract then go through who Blake Snell is, what he’s done so far in his career, and what he could bring to the Yankees. Yes, most people know these things about Snell but think of it as a review for an exam. Then, they discuss his pros (there are a few) and his cons (there are also a few) and conclude whether the Yankees should take the risk and sign him. Who says yes? Who says no? Find out and let us know below what you think about Snell and whether the Yankees should go after him.

The New York Yankees are looking for a bench coach, Anthony Volpe is trying to recruit players and the Arizona Fall League is over. We start off with a discussion about Anthony Volpe telling Jason Heyward that he would look good without a beard and we talk about what Heyward did in 2023 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and what he could possibly bring to the Yankees in 2024. Then it was reported David Ross turned down the Yankees and doesn’t want to be a bench coach. But it was also reported that the Yankees are looking into Brad Ausmus and former SF Giants pitching coach Andrew Bailey for that position as well. We discuss pros and cons for both. Then Steve catches you up on the Arizona Fall League. A few Yankees impressed while one had some issues. 

Volpe suggests Heyward: https://nypost.com/2023/11/09/sports/anthony-volpe-wants-yankees-to-check-in-on-jason-heyward/

The New York Yankees will enter 2024 looking to rebound from their disastrous 2023 season. In our Fanmail Friday episode, Stacey and Steve answer some questions about possible free-agent targets and scenarios. Have the Yankees shown any interest in an outfielder from the KBO? They also answer a question about Jonathan Loaisiga’s place in the bullpen in 2024. Plus, which Yankee, past or present, would Stacey and Steve want to have a meal with? Both answers may be surprising. How is Oswaldo Cabrera doing in Winter Ball? Where would Stacey and Steve like to see MLB expansion happen? (There are four answers. Two from each of them.) Do they think Gerrit Cole will opt out after 2024? More questions about Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman’s odd pressers this week and where will the Yankees go to look for a new bench coach and hitting coach.

The New York Yankees need a left-handed bat in their lineup. Luckily for them, there’s one available in free agency, and his name is Cody Bellinger. On today’s episode, Stacey and Steve “Make the Case” for Cody Bellinger. Steve lets you know what MLBTR is projecting for Bellinger and goes through last year’s top free agents to show what MLBTR predicted and what the players actually got. Then Stacey and Steve go through who Cody Bellinger is, what he’s done so far in his career, and what he could bring to the Yankees. Yes, most people know these things about Bellinger but think of it as a review for an exam. Then, they discuss his pros (there are a few) and his cons (there are also a few) and conclude whether the Yankees should take the risk and sign him. Who says yes? Who says no? Find out and let us know below what you think about Bellinger and whether the Yankees should go after him.

The New York Yankees had problems in 2023, and owner Hal Steinbrenner and President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Brian Cashman spoke to the media today. Cashman, who was at the GM Meetings in Arizona, addressed the assembled media outside of the venue. He was combative and punchy nearly the entire time, and we parsed through a few of his more interesting quotes. We react to his quotes and also set the record straight on one of the quotes that was taken out of context. Then we discuss what Principal Owner Hal Steinbrenner said during his Zoom with members of the media on Tuesday afternoon. He said a whole lot of nothing if we’re being honest, but he did say one thing that should make Yankee fans feel better because he revealed that he does actually know how disappointed they were with the results of the 2023 season. That’s more than we can say about Cashman. And finally, the Yankees may be close to acquiring a new hitting coach. We tell you about James Rowson and why we think you should be excited about him.

The New York Yankees have many options in free agency if they choose wisely. Stacey and Steve go through a list of 11 Top Free Agents they think will help the Yankees. The Yankees can’t sign all 11, obviously, but even two or three could improve the team a lot in 2024. First, they go through the positions where the Yankees need help, and then they discuss the options. They open with the offensive options, including Cody Bellinger and Kevin Kiermaier, and they include a dark-horse candidate for the offense and outfielder. Then, Stacey and Steve explore pitching options—both starters and relievers. They are the obvious choices, like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell, but what about the bullpen choices? There are a few guys who could really turn the already potent Yankees’ bullpen into a legitimately scary group. Then, Stacey and Steve celebrate Anthony Volpe’s Gold Glove win! Volpe became the first Yankees rookie to accomplish the feat and only the second shortstop. The other? That dude named Derek Jeter. And finally, Carlos Mendoza, the now former bench coach for the Yankees, has been hired by the New York Mets as manager. 

Mendoza is new Mets manager: https://youtu.be/K5G2nx-xzGA?si=q_L1wGJzmUGTgEph&t=1099

The New York Yankees were home while the Rangers and Diamondbacks played in the 2023 World Series. Stacey and Steve already discussed what the Yankees can learn from the Rangers, so now it’s time for: What can the Yankees learn from the 2023 Diamondbacks? They go through how the Diamondbacks got to the World Series, which was a combination of good drafting, riding the hot hand, and overperforming. They discuss what the Yankees can learn from Arizona regarding letting the youth play, having a manager to motivate the team when they’re on a bad slide in the standings, and having a veteran steer the clubhouse. Stacey and Steve also discuss the Diamondbacks’ weaknesses, which ultimately prevented them from winning a title. Then, they discuss their final thoughts and compare the two teams. Can the Yankees learn a thing or two from the Diamondbacks? Sure. But will they? That remains to be seen.
