'CHEAP, CONTROLLABLE' are Hal's downfall. But he DOES NOT CARE. He rakes in all the money all the same. All he has to do to appease you is at the end of the season to say, "This is unacceptable. We will do something about it, then repeat cycle. I recognize a bare-faced conman when I see one.
Bauer over Stroman any day!!! He turned down 21 mil with Cubs. So he's going to want that or more. Spend the money and get Snell, you said you was all in then be all in!!!! WTF
Why does finances come into play now, but not when George was running the team? Do the Yankees make less money now? How much are the Yankees worth compared against all other MLB teams. Just wondering out loud.
Remember that when George was alive, he had the whole pot of Steinbrenner money. When he died, that money was divided by his four children. We aren’t talking about chump change but it’s easy to see why they are being more careful.
Maybe the Yanks should have traded for a pitcher like Snell rather than throwing those chips away on a one year rental. The Yanks will never win another WS unless Hal sells the team…
Yankees management (Brian Cashman and either Hal Steinbrenner or both) need to stop penny-pinching and stop bargain basement shopping! Marcus Storman is not the starting pitcher they need, “not the impact pitcher we need ” according to Cashman when he was traded to the Mets. Enough of this playing with the emotions of the loyal Yankees fans. Go get a genuine quality pitcher preferably via free agency or even trade if no top prospect (Spencer Jones, Jasson Dominguez, Chase Hampton) is sacrificed. Stroman may not be a criminal like previous Yankees pitchers, but he could be a disruptive force, upsetting team chemistry in the clubhouse. Cashman keeps making these boneheaded moves because he waits too long looking for the steal. He still thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, able to fleece other GMs. Eventually, he’s left with 2nd tier players because all the other top pitchers sign elsewhere and the Yankees season is disappointing again.
One step above from a dumpster dive. More like a dollar store move. He had an oblique injury last season which raises a red flag. All things being equal the Yanks should have brought back Severino on a one year prove it deal. But as we have all come to learn, the Yankees' front office is as inept as can possibly be.
Yanks seem to be sitting back watching all these pitchers sign away..Yamoto, Imanaga are gone have to get Snell or Burnes maybe Montgomery but we let him go already for nothing! Then either Bieber Cease Bauer(maybe) how about a closer like Hader or Jordan Hicks!!!!
Calling Bauer's rape and assault charges "a couple bags of baggage" says way more about you than you may have liked to let on. Congrats on exposing yourself as a massive piece of shit.
Averages 5.44 innings per start. Injury prone. 32 years old, will turn 33 in May. Blasted the Yankees on social media. Does he make the Yankees rotation championship caliber? Is he a number two behind Cole? Pass.
Well if that's the case what about signing Verdugo??? Yankee fans are not thrilled about this one, right? Why are we not talking about Trevor Bauer and how cheap we can sign him to a 1 year deal?
Don LaGreca is an idiot to say that even if 73% of Yankee fans don’t want Marcus Stroman on the team, that shouldn’t dissuade Brian Cashman from signing him. Cashman likes to irk the fans by doing things they dislike just to irritate them.
Stroman? cmon.he will not help Yanks. What happened to the 300 mil they were going to give Yamato? we need Burnes or Snell not stroman! Montgomery has a grudge bc we let him go for nothing. Cease and Bieber are okay but I think we need either Burnes or Snell with either cease or Bieber to contend. And Yanks did not even try and pursue Imamanga who could have helped. He looked great in the WBC!
If Cashman and Steinbrenner operate on the premise that they need to save money to offer Soto in FA after next year, then that sounds like they’re sacrificing the 2024 season. Stroman doesn’t ever pitch well at Yankees stadium, is thin-skinned toward any fan disrespect, is older than he was when Cashman didn’t want him, may have some animosity toward Cashman and the organization and may have had some attitude issues at previous stops at his major league career. So if he doesn’t perform to expectations or is injury-prone (Carlos Rodon?), what will be the takeaway from signing him?
No. The media keeps pretending he doesn't exist, because they'd all have to mainline pharmaceutical grade Copium to admit how they all conspired to bury an innocent man.
I don’t care what he says as long as he stays on the field and performs. Let’s focus on winning. If the Yankees actually had clubhouse leadership it would be less of an issue.
I don't care about the personal nonsense. I don't see him as a #2. The Yankees need 2 starters. He would need to be the complimentary starter. They need to go after Burns, and or Snell as their primary pitching acquisition.
Yankees can't afford Burnes. They won't include Dominguez. Nobody cares about Pereira or Peraza. They have nobody that can headline a trade for Burnes.
Seems like a trend of Cashman opening his mouth too much and bashing players, rather than the players badmouthing. Saying what he did about Stroman and Montgomery is ridiculous. Be a professional Brian
I’d take Bauer & Stroman. Don’t care about the off field stuff. Just win. Stroman, Bauer, Snell, Monty. Get any 2 of those four. (Obviously preferably Monty & snell)
You don’t want snell. He walks too many and will probably mean they won’t pay Soto. Bauer is the move. He won’t cost too much and is better than Monty and Stroman. He would be a steal.
I think that it would be a very bad idea to bring Stroman to the Yankees . I would say Corbin, Montgomery, or even one of the younger pitchers in the minors. I would rather take a chance with them
Disgusting…Cashman/Hal forget this clown stroman bad move he’ll get lit up injured …if yr going Hal cap cheap get Bauer…..geez this is our winter spending 😂😂😂
hal spend the damn money on Snell and Bauer or fire Cashman. stop being cheap. Bauer is an elite pitcher and he's apologized, but Hal IS CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP
If Stroman really wants to be a NYY, then he'll take a one-year deal and allow the Yankees to do a test run. He'll either fake it till he makes it, shows the Yankees he can handle it, or the Yankees will just move on next off season.
This is the arrogance of the Yankee fan. You think Stroman needs you more than you need him? Really? Many teams want him and he's not going to settle for a one-year deal when numerous teams will be offering three-year deals. If the Yankees overpay on a one-year maybe, but right now you better get him, Snell or Montgomery or you are in trouble.
Dude, multiple teams want the guy-- he's good. Your personal opinion of him may be correct, but the Yankees are not the only team interested in signing him. He's not desperate. Yankees can't say the same.@@naturallawman2965
@@MartyKeegan What part of "He has the highest ERA at Yankee Stadium of any place where he has pitched a significant number of games" do you not understand? The guy is a headcase, and is easily rattled playing in Yankee Stadium.
Comparing Stroman to Chapman or German seems ridiculous. What's worse? An inflammatory tweet or a punch to the face? Get real. I don't like what he said, but he wasn't wrong to say his opinion. I'd rather take a 2 year flyer on Stroman than 7..8 yrs fir Snell or Monty.
I feel the fans of all teams get a bad rap when their teams signs an a-hole. I never liked Gary Sheffield or Roger Clemens, but am I suppose to root against them and hope my team fails? I personally don't want Stroman, but whatever team signs him, I'm sure the fans will hope he's successful.
Are you kidding me? We are actually entertaining this from the scrub? When you have the opportunity to get Trevor Bauer for a lot cheaper and a sigh, young caliber arm, where he’s forced to have a good demeanor and pitch well if he wants to have a follow up And be appealing to not just the Yankees but to any other team that might want him if he does have a good year in 2024. You have a better bet with Bauer, than you do with Stroman, who is a jackass and social media liability if you’re willing to throw 300 million at Yamamoto, then dammit shit or get off the pot and get a damn good arm like Snell, Or trade for Luzardo, and be done with this pussyfooting
Yanks need to soiled starting pitchers and a closer! one A tier in either Burnes or Snell (Montgomery probably will not come back)and one B tier either cease, Beiber, maybe Buer(but has issues). Yanks have not gotten a pitcher they signed a bunch of outfielders yet our 2 best prospects in Dominguiez coming in august and Jones in 25..why sign Gonzalez and Thompson? I just do not understand the philosophy..we need pitching big time!
Yankees got Chapman for cheap as he was suspended. Then the Yankees traded him to thw cubs for Glayber, then signed him in the off season after having won the chip 😂😂😂
Josh donoldson talked shit about the Yankees , we got him, verdugo hates the Yankees and always talks shit boom we got him, you guys are corny for caring about stro talking shit years ago. I swear I’m apart of literally the fan base that will never stop crying.
I said give TREVOR BAUER a one year deal give STROMAN a one year safe money to give to SOTO so we can keep him and if STROMAN and BAUER work out give them a contract.we can continue just thinking on getting better pitchers we have a great line up so having 2 pitchers who can give us 5 to 6 endings can help us alot so why spend crazy when they can get 2 pitchers who have proven they can handle it.No matter what they did on the past we all humans before we judge someone we most look our self in the mirror we are not perfect i belive on second chances and i think if the YANKEES play smart and get this 2 pichers we can win the WORLDSERIES
I like that phrase “I don’t know if the juice is worth the squeeze”.
The fact that he putting Stroman in the same space as Chapman and German is crazy to me
As Mattingly said of Leyritz,"He may be an A-hole, but he's OUR A-hole!!
Get Trevor instead . . . he's also a PITA, but a better pitcher.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can't believe I'm agreeing with Kay...LOL
'CHEAP, CONTROLLABLE' are Hal's downfall.

Stroman, Rodon, and Verdugo. Those are some rough personalities to have on the same team
No Stroman
Bauer over Stroman any day!!! He turned down 21 mil with Cubs. So he's going to want that or more. Spend the money and get Snell, you said you was all in then be all in!!!! WTF
Why not both?
This is going to blow up and I got my popcorn!
I would choose Bauer at this point, this is an act of desperation and he is going to hear it from the fans

Thank you Don!
Thank you for the video! You should upload the phone calls as well in a different video.
And wait until next year where is better quality activity of pitching
Maybe the Yanks should have traded for a pitcher like Snell rather than throwing those chips away on a one year rental. The Yanks will never win another WS unless Hal sells the team…
No to Stroman.
I need another few months free of Michael Kay... see ya in April.

Want nothing to do with him
Marcus Stroman to Yankees rotation???!! I’d rather get Braun Strowman to pitch for us! Man, what happened to my beloved Yankees??! F that guy!
Hhahahahahah
Interesting fact-Braun's dad, Rick Scherr is one of the greatest softball players of all time.
One step above from a dumpster dive. More like a dollar store move. He had an oblique injury last season which raises a red flag. All things being equal the Yanks should have brought back Severino on a one year prove it deal. But as we have all come to learn, the Yankees' front office is as inept as can possibly be.
As a New Yorker no thanks, bring Bauer.
No thank you
Wish I knew where Michael stands on this… 🤣
Stroman no way for that get Bauer.
Bring Trevor Bauer to NY
Another injured? Cashman to a madhouse, please! Rather have Bauer for a year..
Yanks seem to be sitting back watching all these pitchers sign away..Yamoto, Imanaga are gone have to get Snell or Burnes maybe Montgomery but we let him go already for nothing! Then either Bieber Cease Bauer(maybe) how about a closer like Hader or Jordan Hicks!!!!
This is a cheapskate move. Either get Snell or make a trade
I agree and the crazy thing is they need to do both. They need at least 2 starters. They’re rolling the dice big time if they only get one starter.
Cheapskate is cashmans middle name
All the above I'd get snell on a short high aav, trade for cease and get stroman.
I’d sign stroman regardless of if they got one of those guys.
On field wise we need guys like him.
They need both
Bauer has a couple bags of baggage, but Stroman has a tractor trailer towing a u haul worth of baggage.
Calling Bauer's rape and assault charges "a couple bags of baggage" says way more about you than you may have liked to let on. Congrats on exposing yourself as a massive piece of shit.
“The Yankee way” lmfaoooo New York media is so full of themselves
as a yanks fan, im sick of that yankee way bullshit
Right so stuck up . Brainwashed 😂
We need some edge in the bx I love this move I may be biased I'm from the Bronx 😅
I think its absurd that a team tries to control your personal life… u cant control what ppl do outside of work. You arent on a 24/7 salary.
bro just get Snell!!!! like damn 🤦🏻♂️

Get Trevor Bauer. He says he is repentant and really wants to play. Idiot Yankees probably won’t do anything and Monty doesn’t want to come back.
No stay A Far way From Stroman. I rather Take my chances on Trevor Bauer. Way Better Pitcher.
If Cashman and Steinbrenner operate on the premise that they need to save money to offer Soto in FA after next year, then that sounds like they’re sacrificing the 2024 season.

Dude can play on the big stage but their is some toxic concerns. Come on Cashman and Hal I know you guys can get more creative for your fan base
I am curious, has Kay and the guys ever talked about Bauer?
No. The media keeps pretending he doesn't exist, because they'd all have to mainline pharmaceutical grade Copium to admit how they all conspired to bury an innocent man.
This will turn out to be a complete bust. What is Cashman doing to this team?

Sign Snell, Hader, Urshela. Bring back German. No Stroman. No way.
Lol this brings payroll to like $330 mil based off arbitration estimates, which are always low.
Seems like a trend of Cashman opening his mouth too much and bashing players, rather than the players badmouthing. Saying what he did about Stroman and Montgomery is ridiculous. Be a professional Brian
No thanks.
Go get Bauer and tell Cole to put his emotions to the side if you really trying to win
I'd like to see them just be boys and get along. It shows boys becoming Men.
Wonder what Cole would think about it? Maybe he should go to Brian/Hal and say I’ll vouch for him
Two words: Trevor Bauer
I’d take Bauer & Stroman. Don’t care about the off field stuff. Just win.
Stroman, Bauer, Snell, Monty. Get any 2 of those four. (Obviously preferably Monty & snell)

They rather settle for stroman rather than sign Trevor Bauer 😂😂😂
This franchise is a joke
I have the feeling Stroman is just using the Yankees to help draw interest. Since it’s a slow market right now.
The key fact Kay keeps forgetting is that Stroman will not be pitching against the Yankees
15:26 he mentioned that.
This implies that you think the Yankees have had some vastly superior offense in recent years, so I have to question your logic
The “Yankees” aren’t “the Yankees”.
That was then this is now welcome to the Yankees
I think that it would be a very bad idea to bring Stroman to the Yankees . I would say Corbin, Montgomery, or even one of the younger pitchers in the minors. I would rather take a chance with them
What younger pitcher in the Minors??? They traded em all away!!! I'll take 2 yrs of Stroman over 8 yrs for Monty or Snell ANYDAY
@@ltsgoyanks Montgomery is not getting 8 years. Most likely neither are.
9:56 rigghhhhttt Mike. You couldn’t care less, says the guy with a little black book.

No straw man!
Take Bauer instead

If we can sign Josh Donaldson we can sign stroman
Stop hating on stroman
Right? As a person he’s a douche, as a pitcher (which is all I care about) he’s at worst solid.
Package Torres, Paraza and maybe someone else for Lazardo or Bournes, move LeMehieu to second and sign Chapman for third
Stroman is a gamer,get it done!
LUZARDO & EDWARD
