swung on and It's a walk on three, it's
a judging and blast latest news today. Those Aaron
judge in the Yankees well they're talking and this offers
a pretty substantial offer made in the Bronx. Apparently
Yankees have offered judge eight years and$300 million and
allegedly that number could be a little bit north of
that if need be, you can't replace judges production
. And I think the Yankees are accepting that at
this point. No, no number of guys can
replace what judge has been for the team and this
number I think represents that. Tell me a bit
about what made you decide to pitch for team USa
um at first I didn't know at first I didn't
know if I was able to qualify and I was
a US citizen. Um so I asked around the
league, I, you know, told my agency
. Um they said, yeah, I was,
I was qualified of, it's just a matter if
they, you know, they wanted to. And
I want to say an early, early october I
got a, I got a call from Tony Reagan's
and uh, you know, basically extended out an
invitation and said, hey, it's just something interested
in. And I told them of course I was
, it's always been a dream of mine to,
to play for the, for the baseball classic.
Um and of course I said yes, yeah,
I really did the plan when the season ended.
I didn't really think I'd be doing anything come into
the next season. Uh but the first conversation with
ross was really interesting and you know, his his
beliefs, I could tell the way he was talking
and the belief in the club and what he felt
like. I could bring to the table. Uh
That was really interested in my role. I looked
at as I'm here to support, you know,
john and anything he wants me to do, I'm
sure he'll define the role as it as it goes
. Um But that was like the most important thing
for me is getting comfortable with john and probably more
than anything, john being comfortable with me. You
know, Trey Turner I think is number one on
the Phillies list. And I don't even think it's
the expectation from outside the Phillies that they're going to
get one of those four short steps. I think
the expectation internally as well as the Phillies are going
to get one of those four short stop stray turner
probably at the top of the list, but I
don't think the Phillies will be too upset if they
got Carlos, Correa zander, Bogart's Dansby Swanson.
But trey Turner for short, he checks so many
boxes for the Phillies for more on these and other
stories, keep it locked to MLB dot com.
It's baseball everywhere
