Sal makes the case for why moving Giancarlo Stanton would make the Yankees a better team:
See, everybody always thinks, well, a trade should make you better immediately. The NMO trade made the Mets better at second base, but also created a vacancy in the outfield that the next move should be able to make them better. So, trading Stanton just in isolation doesn’t well, how you going to get better with trading stand? Because it’s now opening up some wiggle room here to where you can move Ben Rice to DH and maybe go get a better first baseman or whatever outfielder or third baseman. you can reconstruct the roster differently than what you’ve been doing where it clearly doesn’t work. Relying on a guy even though Stanton at his peak is as good a hitter as there is in the game at his peak, he’s never at his peak all year long. He’s always hurt. He can’t play the field. He can’t run the B. Like there’s a million things wrong with having him on your ball
Much like trading Brandon Nimmo from the Mets, Sal says the Yankees shipping out Giancarlo Stanton would help the Bombers.

Stanton can play the field, he may be the best club house guy in all of NY. Bad knees elbows etc still goes out plays the field cause they needed him to
But who's taking Stanton ?
Full no trade clause and LA has a DH
Acuna can hit .230 and 15 hr
Sal has a point the yankees could replace giancarlo stanton at DH with ben rice but in my opinion spencer jones would be a better replacement for giancarlo stanton if the yankees did trade giancarlo stanton.
This show and the afternoon show talks way too much about off season baseball
It’s football season douche bags ……. So what if both NY teams suck donkey balls
Talk about the NFL or other topics like Boomer and Gio do
Jesus Christ guys
From Joe benigno, Steve summers, and Tony paige to these loud mouth idiots. Wfan is awful now
If you listen to this gasbag Licata, you get a severe, annoying rash all over your body!
If this guy was the Mets GM (I wouldn’t wish that on anyone), the Mets would go 0-162!!! 😂😂😂
