I'm all for doing something to make it a little tougher on pitchers at this point.
It's only a matter of time until the entire league catches on to the sweeper trend, btw.

Thoughts on Green being moved? Seems to fit the profile to be moved given age/the arms in the minors
Derek
1:06
I've been thinking he'd be moved each of the last two offseasons. I guess it may not hurt too much to deal away from a strength, but I also don't know how much Green will fetch considering he's definitely not as good anymore.
Troy Soren

Joe Girardi must really miss having a good pen. Maybe they want Green, not that he'd bring much back.
Derek
1:08
Might be a match, would also go with Philly targeting relievers a year or two after they were actually good though
that's too harsh on Green, but you know what I mean. Plus Philly may have a surplus of bats that could match with the Yanks

Would you extend Monty or wait until he's closer to free agency?  Feels like he's someone who will age well.
Derek
1:11
I really like Montgomery but I wouldn't be in a rush to extend him at this point. FA after '23, will be 30 with a TJ under his belt, and the system seems to be churning out pitchers at a high clip right now. I'd wait and see.

I'm still a little surprised the Yanks non-tendered Clint Frazier. I know $$ had something to do with it, and I know he's still having health issues this year, but would you have kept him, even if only as AAA outfield depth, if it had been up to you?
Derek
1:12
I think it was time to let him go.
1:13
Still think he can be a really good bat, but the health unfortunately remains a concern, and he's really a corner OFer on a team full of them already. It made sense to move on.
Jacob

In a perfect world, at what point do we move on from Gleyber?
Derek
1:15
Would have happened a year or two ago. Maybe he rebuilds his value enough to be a good trade piece when Volpe is up.

Regarding Sterling calling Cortes Nelson, I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me mishearing, so I pulled up the audio feed of the game. I easily found one spot (4:07:45 or so), where Cortes is pulled from the game, and Sterling very clearly calls him Nelson
Derek

Just sharing JJ's comment, nothing else.

Last chance for questions before I split.

Does Higgy give you ANY sense of optimism? I feel like the eye test AND the numbers say he's really bad. Defensively I'm not close to sold that he's particularly good. I feel like he looked like Pudge compared to Gary. I wouldn't flinch at a straight up DFA. Thoughts?
Derek
1:19
No, he can't hit. I think he's better than what he's shown defensively, but he's nothing more than a backup to me.
1:20
I'd be shocked if they DFA'd him though. Trevino has an option if they really want to try Rortvedt (who also has an option too)
Jack H.
1:21
Are any of the free agents we all wanted, from the SS's to Marte, performing well? It feels like everyone is bombing pretty hard to start the season.
Derek
1:21
Nobody comes to mind as tearing it up, but I still would rather have some or all of those options.
1:23
Alright everyone, I'm gonna call it here. Thanks for stopping by, talk again next week.
