Yankees Hunting For New Shortstop, Felix Pantaleon Pick. + Who The Yankees Should Trade

[Music] yo what is up new york yankee fans yet again it is felix from nyynews.com like always welcome slap a like on this video let’s get the numbers up moving along let’s go back to the good old days talking about free agents we haven’t done that for quite some time on this channel but since the yankees have disgruntled fans out there i have a feeling they’re going to have a busy offseason for people that have been on this channel for quite some time now and for the newcomers you guys know that i am a fan or have always been a fan of carlos correa even when it was unpopular hey yankees fans what are we gonna do we’re gonna say the astrals are cheaters still we’re gonna um make excuses for this ball clump i’m not saying that they didn’t cheat i am saying that the past is the past and look at that yet again the astros are one game from reaching the world series yet again under a different manager and after all that stuff that went down so let’s not make excuses of why the yankees aren’t going to the world series etc we know what the problem is so with that being said there’s an abundance of short stops coming into free agency there were many reports out there that came out that the yankees wanted to trade for shortstop because then again because we all know the yankees front office is living in la la land they waited until mid-september or somewhere around that area to move labor tours back to second base when everybody and their mother was screaming out this guy is not a shortstop move him to his i want to say natural position but moving back to second base where he had success so long story put sure the yankees tried to trade for simmons they even contacted the cubs for bias here’s a list of shortstops that are going to hit the free agent market and i’m going to go off of what they made in 2021 the first one on that list is marcus simeon who is versatile can play many positions who is a ballplayers ball player this guy looks like a baseball player but i do believe he’s going to end up a blue jay again why not the blue jays or surging in the yale east they have a great future and why not bring him back but i’m going to be honest with you guys i could see him as an excellent option for the new york yankees now going second to the list trevor story who is a fan favorite amongst yankees fans uh he’ll be turning about what is he he’s about 29 or he’s going to turn 30. i think he’s 28 now he’s going to turn 29. he’s another one that i’m not going to hate on i’m not going to be biased here i honestly believe whatever shortstop the yankees obtained via free agency keyword free agency they’re going to be legit but if the yankees go out there and let’s say make a trade for a poor man’s version of let’s say like a dd gregorius type i’m not trying to bash him i’m just saying if they hit the trade market then you know talking about you’re going shopping for a short stop uh nobody believes you you got to go out there and make a big impact and like i said uh i’m not going to hate on trevor story if you guys uh sign them whatever i’m not going to complain story is another ballplayers ballplayer and looks like a baseball player has the nitty-gritty attitude i think he’ll fit perfect on this team especially with his uh pal uh dj le mayhew currently being on this roster and before i get comments because i’ve gotten comments like this before when people say what do you mean he looks like a baseball player i mean if you play the game if you have played the game of baseball uh if you have grown up you know playing baseball you could tell there are certain kinds of players that really look like baseball players it’s something that i can’t explain but if you know what i’m talking about you know what i’m talking about so moving along on the list now to another fan favorite corey seeger a left-handed bat if you want a player that already has experience similar to what they’re going to encounter in the yankees organization corey seeger is that guy i can make another video talking about how defensively each shortstop might have the upper hand on the other but it’ll just take another video i know you guys are educated this is why i don’t include massive details like that i use common sense we all know yankees fans are one of the smartest fan bases out there in professional sports just put it like that so corey seeger i mean he’s the full package if you want me to be honest with you guys this guy’s a left-handed bat plays great defensively is going to come from if he doesn’t stay with the dodgers a organization like the dodgers that are contending for a you know they want to win it like the yankees ideology was when uh george steinbrenner was in charge he’s going to come from an organization like that so moving along let’s talk about carlos correa who has huge numbers historically when playing in the playoffs those are the kinds of numbers that i’d like to look at you see i mentioned three great short stops already all of those guys are great but the one difference that carlos corona has from all of them is this guy is the show this guy brings personality and i’m not talking about like a heavy bias type that always has an attitude and is always angry i’m talking about a guy that likes the cameras on him and he doesn’t budge he actually performs when the pressure is on him he’s clutch we need that type of player on the new york yankees we need a guy that can actually back up his trash talking and look aaron judge has been great i love the guy but we’ve seen many times where he opens his mouth and he doesn’t back it up playing new york new york uh this and that and it’s fine but look carl’s carrera has a better track record even when he’s not trash talking he performs in october this is the kind of shortstop if you’re gonna go out there and try to sign one and spend money on that’s the guy you need to throw money at you already know what he’s gonna give you in the regular season semi all-star player but guess what once october comes the numbers don’t lie i said this tweet about two years ago i said carlos correa uh when the astrals were kind of shopping him back in 2019 i said hey i know you guys uh hate the astros but if carlos correa is available i would love him on the new york yankees and you know yankees fans with the whole astros cheating scandal and whatever they they said he’s a cheater he sucks but um let’s let’s use common sense here carlos correa has been one of the top elite shortstops in major league baseball for quite some time now you know you could compare him or whatever he’s probably not top five or something like that but he he could be in that discussion i’ll say he’s in that discussion uh let’s see let’s go back to the uh numbers he has during october he’s definitely up there he’s number one if you ask me current shortstops with aaron boone being the manager of the new york yankees we all know the guy is soft we need that type of personality on the new york yankees we need a carlos correa even if they trash talking back he’s laughing saying it’s great we need that kind of personality he would fit great in new york city and let’s not forget to mention the man grew up a new york yankees fan every kid growing up in puerto rico is basically a new york yankee fan or a pittsburgh pirate fan with the history of uh the grey riberto clemente but realistically the majority of puerto ricans and puerto rico are yankees fans and we could back that up uh carlos correa’s uh old videos he came out and said he was a huge yankees fan and recently a radio personality out there in puerto rico asked him he basically said something like this what does he think about signing with a team from new york carl’s career laughed and said he he would love it and preferably he would love wearing pinstripes so we already know the yankees go after and try to sign carlos it’s a given the guy is there for the taking but um something that might work to team’s advantages this offseason industry insiders have said that uh the new york mets overpaid lindor and to not expect those kinds of big contracts for um shortstops this offseason i don’t know if it’s true or not but i could see that is kohl’s koran going against a francisco lindor a fernando tatis jr type of contract who knows but if you guys want him as your shortstop the yankees are obviously going to have to pay the man and they’re obviously going to have to pay whatever shortstop they obtain via free agency and hey if they are the cheap yankees they’re going to settle for a simmons type of a shortstop or a uh what is this guy’s name again uh freddy something um got galvest shortstop like that and we all know it will be uh settling for less go out there the free agent class for short stops hasn’t been that greater you even have heavy buy-ins out there etcetera but i i wouldn’t prefer heavy buyers over korea these are two different kinds of ball players and when i say that i mean mentality-wise but then again i’m not saying he wouldn’t be great that’s another great short stop and there’s word that the mets are trying to extend them or whatever i don’t think that’s gonna happen i think he’s gonna uh go out there in the free agent market and and again he’s not a bad shortstop i’ll even take him if the yankees go after him as well but by now you guys know my favorite is carlos correa if i missed some names include them in the comments section below so moving along i think the yankees should trade glaber torres i think that moving uh dj le mayhew permanently to first base or shifting him from third base to first base is not the right decision i think dj naturally obviously he’s had more experience at second base he performs better at second base and the yankees have the dilemma here when it comes to global tourists and i do believe that the yankees could shop and include in a package include labor torres in a package for let’s say a another yankees fan favorite uh matt olson of the oakland a’s you solve many problems obviously you go out there and sign a short stop you put dj le mayhew and his favorite position his natural position and you get a first baseman like matt austin and all star look i’m not saying that’s going to happen but it’s the most common sense thing to do and the another common sense thing to do is to um let go of uh gary sanchez training away as well so the yankees need to do a lot to um because we all know you know bringing back aaron boone we’re not going to win a championship if it’s just uh aaron boone uh you know managing this team we we need players to get hot the only way i could see the yankees winning the world series or even reaching a world series or even going far deep down into the playoffs is if a player stays hot or has a career year similar to how dj mayhew was carrying this organization for about two seasons that’s the only way i could see aaron boone actually winning a world championship with the new york yankees we need guns to stay hot and we need these guys to perform when it counts so yankees fans like always leave your opinions in the comment section
