“Gotta Be Happy!” Evaluating Yankees Off Season with Michael Kay on Hot Stove

37 comments

1. Need a lefty hitting 3rd baseman.

2. I can’t wait for the day Michael
   Kay retires

3. Mets fans mad right that yankees are in top 5 team talks but Mets were not in the conversation. Yankess vs dodgers 2025

4. Jazz can hit 30 hrs and steal 30 hrs in his sleep playing at YS! In this overpay armageddon that MLD is mired in, thats a $100 + value kind of guy. He is a MAJOR "x-factor" and I think he will succeed.

5. Jazz can hit 30 hrs and steal 30 bags in his sleep playing at YS! In this overpay armageddon that MLD is mired in, thats a $100 + value kind of guy. He is a MAJOR "x-factor" and I think he will succeed.

6. The Yankees are WORST than last year. Sotos offensive production and presence hasn’t even been replaced half way.All they did was give 2 many yrs to an injury prone Max and pick up a declining or inconsistent Cody and a declining Goldie. Cash gets no points for finally recognizing that they NEED A CLOSER to a bullpen that was one of the few strengths. They have a budget so the HOLE at SS will likely be filled with a rookie or leftover player. The hole at 3rdB gets filled with often injured and unproductive when in DJ. The hole at 2nd gets filled with all around Offen &Def inconsistent Jazz add to this Mr July Judge. This is the HOPE &PRAY team. THIS TEAM IS WORST!!!!

7. HAppiness will come with results….

8. This apologetic reporting optimistic approach to failing to bring back a great yankee who is young, while pivoting to a bunch of declining players excluding a 30 year old pitcher which we gave a 8 year deal are u serious? I'm giving this front office one last chance if tucker or vlad isn't signed next year! I'm done 16 years of feeling accomplished for putting a team who will finish over 500 is unacceptable we are the ny yankees we don't field teams we breed champions! We set the bar this front office has to reciprocate that expectation

9. They are hoping that Goldschmidt will be like Matt carpenter

10. I haven't been happy about the yankees since 09'. I don't like the strategy of investing in 1 or 2 superstars and then building the rest of the team on guys that the team is hoping will have a good year. I would have been excited if we had acquired Kyle Tucker and then signed Torres to a 1 year deal. Would have been a pretty competitive team.

11. Mike is really raising the bar for Jazz lol. Hes a above average player .

12. As someone who didn't want soto for how much we have to give up and how much it would cost to sign him and the risk he may not re sign but yes I'm very happy 😊

13. Kaye says in a few years Judge will be playing 1st base. Give me a break he us going directly to dh. For somebody who is around baseball so much, sounds unintelligent

14. This is the part where they say “ok our job is done” when there’s still holes

15. Please, they did nothing to bolster the hitting. All bargain scrap heap players. Keep kissing A$$ and talking up crap signings.

16. Go jazz volpe belly judge jasson goldy wells Stanton peraza

17. less then three months away

18. Donaldson was MVP also 2 years before Yankees gotem

19. thx to tmks monk, best youtuber for yankees info, does not give headlines just to create views as like many other yankees youtubers that try and catch you on a flashy headline then when u watch it , you have wasted ur time thinking you were going to see something of value. tmks monk does not play that game and i thank you for accurate and meaningful yankees news..

20. We still don't have a 3rd baseman, and some lefty bullpen arms, so no I'm not happy

21. Goldschmidt knows these are the years that decide what kind of Hall of Famer you are.

22. i like goldschmidt but yankee pr making this seem like the signing of the decade is hysterical.

23. ALVIN, ALVIN CRUZ. AINT NO SHE

24. See DJ Lemahieu about drop off….I get it, be optimistic, but also be realistic

25. Kay breaking up lagreca rosenberg u did us wrong we built u up do ur little dumb 1-3pm show and u screwed up

26. It's gonna be a loooooooong season 🙄

27. Thank you for posting the videos you do, I'm a long time Blue Jays fan but love reading and listening to the day to day goings on with the Yankees.

28. Usually hate the moves by our front office but this was a good offseason so far (all things considered)

29. unless dominquez volpe and wells have good seasons yankees offense is way worse then last year no soto and no protection that soto gave judge..

30. yankees better go all out next off season for vlad jr at 1b

31. kay does the yankees bidding his is a tool.. in no way shape and form could bellinger and goldschmidt replace soto bat

32. Soto is a great hitter but a poor defender and a lousy base runner- not worth what Cohen is paying. Keeping Soto means they don’t get Fried, Devin Williams, Goldschmidt and Bellinger- holes they needed to fill. They are a more balanced team now and should do better in 2025.

33. LEFTY RELIEVER AND ANOTHER BAT AND THERE GOOD TO GOOOO REMEMBER THE A.L IS UP FOR GRABS IT'S WIDE OPEN

34. one key question remains: will the chemistry between the players work? or will the team just be a collection of stars who don't meld into one true team? hard to predict….

35. Mutts did the Yankees a favor buying Soto. Much better balanced team already, more to come.

36. Rotation got better yet I worry about them in the postseason and Fried is like Rodon coming from a big ballpark, the line up is not good and that everybody in that BP was injured last year.

37. MEH. Fried and WiIliams, fine, but a schizo Bellinger, a washed up Goldschmidt, not to mention a negative impact on Judge, who they'll all pitch around, again, so there's a net loss. And who else? And what's with "so far?" They have nothing to trade (well, nobody wants Rodon) and a scrap heap of qualifying-offer rejects to pick over. Kay's white washing an offseason that's OVER and a big disappointment, IMO. (Tucker? Hello?) We'll be lucky to make 90-72 and an early exit. -a NYY fan.
