It's been awhile since we last recorded a podcast, but a very busy Friday by the Yankees led to a bit of a roster shakeup that necessitated a return to the podcast airwaves, whether you like it or not! Rebellious.
The Yankees didn't really make any major moves over the past month, so we didn't, either! However, given the trade for Didi Gregorius and the signing of Andrew Miller, as well as several other topics, we decided that it was time to return to the Pinstripe Alley Podcast. And hey, maybe a certain retired shortstop will give us a listen now that he doesn't need to plan for games anymore! We eagerly wait Erick Almonte's subscription.
[0:45] Welcome, Didi Gregorius & Andrew Miller
[2:07] Oh, also Francisco Cervelli is gone
[5:22] The Blue Jays now have Russell Martin&Josh Donaldson! The Red Sox now have Pablo Sandoval&Hanley Ramirez! How does this affect the Yankees?
[8:57] The Yankees' rotation could really use some reinforcements, especially given Shane Greene's departure. So who should they sign?
[12:45] With Miller signing, is David Robertson a goner?
[20:50] Didi Gregorius, new Yankees shortstop. Huzzah?
[28:27] Is Chase Headley's four-year, $65 million deal real?If so, should he be signed at that value?
[39:54] Back to rotation concerns, especially CC Sabathia
[46:30] Welcome to the Baseball Hall of Fame voting process! It's a mess.
[58:53] Tweetbag: Yoan Moncada, the Astros' weird fascination with D-Rob, adding another bat, Robertson/Betances/Miller bullpen dominance, token LTL question,
[1:07:00] Yankee/Mitre of the Week (what, you think we'd skip it?)
