Exploring the Yankees' Options at Second and Third Base | Goldschmidt Analysis

[@CjCroW]

I have to say big props to you guys. You’re putting in the work this off-season like no one else covering the Yankees. That’s real dedication Thanks guys

[@mikem1291]

Let’s go boys! Thank you for the content!! Love these videos / streams.

[@RichMc-ys5hr]

He will produce way more than Rizzo so that’s a win

[@johnpestano22]

right he hit 22 homers with 65 RBIs plus he played over 100 games Goldy will be fine. i have no concerns plus playing at the stadium should help his swing the dimensions suit him.

[@migueljimenez9611]

There is no major risk it’s a one year deal he’s good enough and will produce way more then the Yankee first baseman in 2024

[@StateoftheFranchiseGaming]

Exactly all the crying about this move (other than Naylor went for basically nothing to the D'Backs) is ridiculous

[@fernandoposada5440]

Lowe went for nothing too

[@aglaelrosario2122]

Golden has something to play for now. Go Goldy

[@davidfroehlich4598]

Blow the Cards away with a good prospect or two and get Brendan Donovan! Then we'll have a lineup that can take on anyone, even the Dodgers!

[@robertbogert8257]

Goldschmidt will provide solid defense , workman leadership and an occasional bomb to go along with some big doubles in the gap and down the line

[@actionvj]

I love these ideas. Since Cashman wants Arenado I’m not sure I’m not sure what exactly he wants in a 2b / 3b. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@tiedero1]

Not as optimistic about Arenado (b/c remaining contract). At this point, Cashman has two required moves: (i) trade Stroman $, and (ii) get Brendan Donovan or surprise us with the last piece (probably as a trade). Ideally, we get a 3B player and let Jazz move to 2B. Whatever happens, this last move is crucial.

[@johngole5859]

DJ is poor all around.His defense was also below average. Yankees should release him. I know he is owed 30M. He's become another Donaldson.

[@fuquaysteve271]

The sky is falling, the sky is falling... Hey. The sun also rises....

[@johngole5859]

Kim appears to be the most realistic option.

[@moodswing4460]

Do you think we can pretty much guarantee no on Arenado?

[@tiedero1]

It's a smart move. Can't know for sure what Goldschmidt will bring, but we've seen a lot of veteran guys like him do well in their "send off" Yankee tenures. Where else would you want to finish your career as a star? (Stadium, co-stars, intensity, playoffs, old-timer stars, NYC, player facilities, travel, hotel, media ) Unless he has nothing left, we will see decent production and, like Stanton, he can be.a play off presence. [Lastly: I want see Ben Rice as a back-up 1B, C and DH (when Stanton is hurt)]

[@fernandoposada5440]

Not a smart move unless it means they are getting arenado

[@vindecrescenzo]

signing Bregman in addition to the 4 other excellent players they added is the disproportionate response to losing Soto that’s needed if they’re going to continue to be the New York Yankees.

[@johnpestano22]

not worried about Goldy he'll be fine

[@NelsonCruz-u3q]

Luis arrez or brandon lowe or arenado??

[@jsmitty2047]

I don’t love the move I but I don’t hate it. Upgrades 1B greatly. Need to dump Stroman’s salary and get infielder. Team is significantly better defensively, bullpen and pitching is much much better. We are in a better spot.😊

[@codymcelveen4663]

trading with the Rays is always weird/risky...but Brandon Lowe would be amazing

[@bori1986]

Walking waste of space 😂😂😂😂

[@johnpestano22]

to me we're set at 2B third base is where we have to look for options. Jazz's natural position is 2B so it's best he's the starting second baseman try to get Yandy Diaz or someone else.

[@johngordon3854]

Goldy ok for one year. There’s still gas in the tank. Good friend of Arenado. Still need big bat! Santander, Hernandez?

[@josephipattersonh6933]

We lost because of a bad manager, shotty defense ( see manager). Not oz! We have no idea how good or bad he can be. Those are that facts

[@fernandoposada5440]

Only real options for second or third are arenado or bregman

[@bori1986]

Guys are hating this move its a 1 year deal guys he can't be worse than Rizzo nobody can

[@firesideyankees]

Which is exactly what we said!

[@fernandoposada5440]

Its an even dumber move now that lowe was also traded for very little

[@Threadz_By_Rizzo]

How about training Ben Rice to play thirdbase?

[@christian37837]

LMAO

[@3SonsRC]

If I can make one phone call and call Brian Cashman and say please please call up the Padres and try to convince ha Sung Kim to play second base and pay him $15m AAV and this team will just go next level

[@chetperrone945]

Good evening Alex and Ryan Alex you don’t look too fond of Paul Goldschmidt signing well every one else either had two years left on their contracts for trades. Basically they wanted too much for someone that’s only a one year rental and some have a qualified offers me personally I would’ve picked Santana switch hitter with no qualified offer but judge had something to do with this. Ryan looks like he likes the deal What I’m trying to say is it’s too late to cry over spilt milk let’s just root for Paul and hope for the best because the one thing I have to say Cashman did a very good job. Remember this word Soto who? What that man did to the Yankees and the remarks he said about the Yankees I hope the Mets don’t win and they come in third place for the next four years and the Yankees win 2 World Series in the next four years. What do you think Ryan and Alex?

[@luisdavila5083]

brandon lowe

[@TheRamosn20]

I want profar

[@TheRealSandorClegane]

Hes too bad defensively unfortunately would be great otherwise. Has to be Correa or Arenado

[@chetperrone945]

Hey Alex, hey Ryan back again I can’t believe what you just said Donovan for Spencer. What are you smoking over there? Stop wagging your knees back-and-forth you look very nervous. Donovan only has two years control left I believe. I would love to have Donovan but right now the hot news is Schmidt good friend across the diamond Arenado could be coming to New York I think how will go over $300 million for only one year Cashman said because next year a lot of money is coming off the books again!!!!!!

[@fuquaysteve271]

League average Goldie ?..wow i guess they give out mvps and gold gloves to really average players.

[@nik1800]

Trade for Jeff McNeil, don’t need to give up much and Mets might paid part of his contract. Yankee Stadium will be a good fit

[@cmorales5]

If you could speak a bit slower.

[@timphares3061]

Goldschmidt is OK. Just OK.

[@RichMc-ys5hr]

He’s better than Rizzo not much of a risk

[@johnpestano22]

that's all we need we don;t need greatness just solid play and we'll get it

[@jma8352]

the nitpicking kings.

[@johnpestano22]

thank you these dudes need to relax Goldy will be fine i'm not concern at all

[@firesideyankees]

@@johnpestano22 we went through the pros and cons lol

[@christian37837]

Carlos Correa if possible

[@Striv34Gr8ne]

Catastrophic drop off? Stop all the analytical nonsense it’s a much better situation at first base than it’s been in a few years

[@christian37837]

The “analytical nonsense” is the best way to judge a player

[@wonderemporium6094]

Derek Jeter by the “analytics” is a way below average fielder yet he’s has some of the most iconic defensive plays of all time in the playoffs and arguably the best in the flip play (beside Willie over the shoulder catch) so the best way to judge a player is that they are human and watch them play. Enough with the analytical bullshit you bot

[@christian37837]

@@wonderemporium6094 Yes Bad defensive players make good defensive plays sometimes. Jeter wasn’t a good defender.

[@christian37837]

@@wonderemporium6094 Watching a human play to judge might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard

[@carlosvids7473]

“Ewww gross.” Grow up

[@jklax]

He's not wrong. Worst base running team and 1st in batting into double plays in 2024.

[@user-bb8eq3us7m]

The last thing the Yankees needed was another old, slow, unathletic, right handed hitter at the end of his career who strikes out too much (27%) and walks too little (7%). His defensive metrics grade is 0. In other words he's league average at best. The best part of this signing is that's it's only a 1 year commitment. Will he provide better production than Rizzo, probably, could the Yankees have done better, yes!

[@fuquaysteve271]

Can you speak faster?
