Yankees Podcast: Are Yankees or White Sox Best in AL?

White Sox Dave of Barstool Sports joined me to talk about the state of the White Sox as spring training begins.

The Yankees had a chance to use their financial power as the team that makes more than any other team in baseball to make sure they would be the clear favorite in the American League in 2021. They chose not to and instead cut by payroll by about $50 million. Because of this, the Yankees will have to deal with the Rays and Blue Jays in the AL East, and the White Sox when it comes to the entire AL.

White Sox Dave of Barstool Sports joined me to talk about the state of the White Sox as spring training begins, the team’s trade for Lance Lynn, signings of Liam Hendriks and Adam Eaton, firing of Rick Renteria, hiring of Tony La Russa, and expectations for White Sox fans in 2021.

The Yankees have one move left to make this offseason and that’s to bring Brett Gardner back. In order to stay under the luxury-tax threshold, it’s the only remaining move they “can” make. It’s now just a waiting game until pitchers and catchers report next week.

Yankees Podcast: Expanded Postseason Bad for Baseball

The Yankees will always make the postseason with an expanded field, but I’m against increasing the current format.

The Major League Baseball Players Association rejected the proposal from the owners to delay the start of the season and implement the universal designated hitter and the expanded postseason for a second straight year. That’s bad for the Yankees who will never not be in the top eight teams in the American League, but it’s good for baseball.

Yankees Podcast: New-Look Rotation Full of Unknowns

The Yankees decided to rebuild nearly their entire rotation with injury-prone arms that haven’t pitched in two years.

No one knows when spring training will begin or when the regular season will begin, but we’re getting closer to Yankees baseball returning, whenever that might be.

Scott Reinen of Bronx Pinstripes joined me to talk about the state of the Yankees as spring training approaches, including the Yankees’ decision to stay under the luxury-tax threshold, saying goodbye to Adam Ottavino and Masahiro Tanaka, bringing back the same exact lineup and why an expanded postseason field will ruin the regular season.
