Jorge Posada joins Tino Martinez for an honest and wide-ranging conversation about the Yankees dynasty, the Core Four and the state of baseball today.
Posada shares stories from his early days with Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera, including the unusual first impressions that eventually became the foundation of a championship era. He also explains how Rivera discovered his legendary cutter and why Bernie Williams deserves more credit for helping change the direction of the Yankees organization.
The conversation then turns to today’s game. Posada discusses analytics, pitch counts, declining fundamentals and why he believes too much information is turning players into robots. He also reveals whether he would consider managing, what separates great managers from the rest and why catchers are uniquely prepared to lead a clubhouse.
Plus, Posada and Tino revisit their championship mentality, an unforgettable matchup when Tino returned to Yankee Stadium and the standard that defined one of baseball’s greatest dynasties.
The Clubhouse with Tino Martinez is now available on the WFLA streaming platforms and wherever you get your podcasts!
