00:00The Yankees made their move for a first baseman, of course, after Christian Walker went off
00:08the board on Friday when we were here.
00:10The Yankees did sign Paul Goldschmidt one year, 12 and a half.
00:15Now we bashed them potentially signing Goldschmidt last week.
00:19So now because they actually did sign him, we have to try to turn a good spin, a positive
00:24spin on them doing it.
00:26So I'll say this, maybe a good bounce back off of a poor year and only one year means
00:35that next year they can go after Vlad as a free agent.
00:38So there you go.
00:39How about that?
00:40One year at Goldschmidt and then they can throw money at Vladdy Jr. next year.
00:44Well maybe playing for the Yankees will turn him around.
00:47I mean, I thought he was awful this year and maybe he'll get a new spark playing for the
00:52Pinstripers.
00:53You never know.
00:54It could turn his game around.
00:56You know what they say.
00:57You put those Pinstripes on and it changes people.
01:00Maybe that'll happen at least for one year for Paul Goldschmidt.
01:03The Guardians traded Josh Naylor to Arizona.
01:07So they got Naylor out of there.
01:10He goes to fill in Walker's shoes out at the Diamondbacks and then Cleveland signed Carlos
01:15Santana, also old and been around a long time.
01:20He's lost.
01:21He's lost.
01:22That's quite the move.
01:23I don't think Naylor's that bad.
01:24I think he's pretty decent.
01:27He's got power.
01:28He's like a quad and a half.
01:30He's a very large man, but he's got a lot of power in his bat.
01:34That's for sure.
01:35Marlins trade Jesus Lizardo to the Phillies for prospects.
01:39I saw our man Scoop Mish tweeting that this morning.
01:43The Marlins getting rid of Jesus Lizardo to the Phillies.
01:47A record nine teams will pay the MLB luxury tax penalties in 2024.
01:53The Dodgers owed $103 million worth of luxury tax.
01:58The Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Atlanta, Texas, Houston, San Francisco, and the Cubs also
02:03had to pay up for being in the luxury tax area.
02:07I'm not surprised.
02:08Right.
02:09Those are the teams that have to pay the piper.
02:11They spend so much money that they have to pay the tax.
02:16Bottom line is, when you have a team that good, you're going to pay.
02:20It's simple.
