00:03 Baseball, Joe, we were waiting days for this Juan Soto trade to finally happen.
00:08 Last night late, it was solidified officially.
00:12 Juan Soto and Trent Grisham as well, who's won a couple of gold gloves,
00:15 he's a pretty good glove out in the outfield.
00:17 Go to the Yankees, five players going in return, Michael King,
00:22 Brito, Thorpe, Higashioka, and others.
00:28 >> Me and Sky have been loud about this, Joe.
00:30 The Yankees needed to start being the Yankees again.
00:34 And it's a deal like this, and then I'm hoping with a cherry on top of
00:38 Yalamoto as well, that kinda can wash away some of the bad feelings over
00:42 the past couple years and actually turn them into the Yankees again.
00:46 >> Listen, the Yankees had one job this offseason and they knew it.
00:53 The numbers didn't lie.
00:55 You were barely a 500 team, you were lucky to be a 500 team.
00:58 You had in one of the greatest left-handed hitter ballparks in
01:02 Major League Baseball, you couldn't hit your way out of a paper bag.
01:07 So the whole point was to get lefties,
01:10 lefty bats that can actually help you hit and win games.
01:16 And they did that and they passed with flying colors.
01:19 Between Soto now, Verdugo, Trent Grisham,
01:23 that was a good start to what else you needed to do here.
01:26 But that was the first priority, get left-handed hitters that can hit in
01:30 Yankee Stadium, which is exactly what they addressed here.
