The New York Yankees traded for Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo, and the news broke while Stacey and Steve were recording Wednesday’s show. You’ll see their initial reactions to the news, and we’ll tell you who he was traded for. Then Stacey and Steve discuss the stalled Juan Soto talks between the Yankees and Padres. Brian Cashman spoke to the media on Tuesday and was much nicer this time. He said he talked to Shohei Ohtani’s agent, but nothing more occurred. He also confirmed that the Yankees are interested in Yoshinobu Yamamoto and said that third base for the Yankees was set. Does he mean Oswald Peraza or DJ LeMahieu? We’ll find out. Then Aaron Boone talked to Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network and gave us injury updates about Anthony Rizzo, Jasson Dominguez, Nestor Cortes, and Aaron Judge. All of it is good news! Finally, Stacey and Steve talked about the MLB draft lottery, which happened on Tuesday, and tried to make sense of some of the positioning that occurred.
