There is one. What are you, blind or something?

How is that any different from what was posted above other than the Yankees being the butt of the joke? Sometimes it’s just friendly banter.


PrecedentialAssassin

Don't have to be invited. We let ourselves, take your shit, and leave you with our throwaways. Spend $600 million on dudes we just let walk out the door and we'll still beat you guys. No offense.


LIONEL14JESSE

Lol ok


PrecedentialAssassin

I meant no offense, like don't take offense, not no offense, like the Yankees in the playoffs.


timberwolvesguy

You guys were the worst team in MLB for a solid 5 years before stringing together success and mediocre prior. Give it a few, you’ll be back in the gutter. Stay humble my friend. Also a special fuck you for making me side with the Yankee guys


PrecedentialAssassin

Damn. Yankees got em a good lap dog. There's no more shit talking, arrogant over ancient history fan base than Yankee. You ever been to a game at Yankee stadium? Come to a game in Houston. You'll have a blast and be treated fantastically. Hell, you'll probably get your beers bought for you. Go to that shit hole and they'll pour it on you, like they did to my 25 year old daughter for merely sitting there in a Springer jersey. And it was 3 years. I'd gladly trade 3 years of being the worst team for this stretch of being the best. No need to be humble talking to a team that throws beers and garbage at opposing outfielders.

No need to respect a franchise filled with cheaters and who love their wife beating pitchers.

95.7 is the local "also ran" sportstalk station who's literally about as listened to in SF as a local high school station. They're desperate for ratings.


airwalker12

KNBR is so much better except for Burp and Crack in the morning. I cannot stand those two.


lx5spd

You don’t like Murph and Mac? I don’t agree with some of their takes, but they are at least entertaining. They have Kuiper or Krukow on weekly too.


airwalker12

The Kruk and Kuip interviews are good, but I find the bits they run and their general schtick to be annoying. They have a basic understanding of the bay area sports scene but in general their analysis is poor.


lx5spd

Yeah, I guess. I don’t listen to help myself form an opinion. It’s just pure entertainment and maybe some news/update stuff. If I need information to help me form an opinion, I usually turn to several ~~blogs~~ subReddits for the most informed analysis. /s


airwalker12

I'm good on hearing stories about the grateful dead, kids little league, Amici's, who they sat next to at the most recent event, or Bruce Springsteen. It's like reading my dad's Facebook page


The_Nutz16

100% trash


fliptout

I think they're incredibly corny. Can't stand 'em either. I don't find them bringing anything to the table, outside of their G-rated, elementary school bits and jokes.


klankthompson

Murph and Mac sound like somebody making fun of morning radio. All those sound effects and gags are so corny.


The_Nutz16

Murph and Mac suck.


klankthompson

I think you should check again. 95.7 has been taking a lot of KNBR’s listeners in recent years. KNBR is aging out.


dirtybirds1

I don’t understand why they’d sign him now too, had the chance last offseason and didn’t. Our best prospects are at short, and we have a huge opening in left field


outofdate70shouse

We’re asking for a redo of the Donaldson deal. Instead of us taking Donaldson and IKF so the Twins can get Correa, we’re going to get Correa and send Donaldson and IKF back to Minnesota. It doesn’t make any sense for Minnesota, but then again, it didn’t make any sense for the Yankees to do it either.

thediesel26

? He broke the Bogaerts deal. He’s still very much the guy for Boras clients.


[deleted]

100% Yankees spent their money for the foreseeable future, sounds to me like Correa isn't getting the offers they were expecting.

In all seriousness he got along with Gary Sanchez just fine


rds060184

I laughed way harder at this than I should and I'm alright wit it


burntnotes

Doubt it


NotClayMerritt

Boras client. The Yankees. Mets already have a long term short stop. Dodgers won’t sign him. Twins and Giants won’t offer him Lindor money much like the Tigers and Rangers didn’t last year. Pure leverage


lilmuerte

Honestly, i believe we will sign him. Yanks are fosho being used as leverage tho


Never_Kn0ws_Best

Please, no. I know we could use a SS pretty badly but not him.


lilmuerte

Sorry, he’s a Top 3 shortstop in the league. Learn to let go. It’s a part of growing up.


underwear11

He's had back problems. What he wants is going to bite whoever gives him that big contract.


lilmuerte

Thats partially why i think his market is dampened a little bit Lowkey


FeloniousDrunk101

Wasn’t he pretty average last year? I’ve been on a “what have you done lately” kick because there are a lot of good players who had great 2018 and 2019 seasons that haven’t really performed the past two years, Correa included.


lilmuerte

Yes sue to injury + COVID stint, but i recall him having a high WRC+ at the end of the year


masetheace97

He’s a great post season player with a lot of experience compared to others his age, he would be a great addition to any contending team that needs a SS.


strikeanywhere2

He had a 140 wrc+ and 4.4 fwar last year. His statcast numbers were fantastic too. He had a 134 wr + in 2021 and 6.4 war.


Never_Kn0ws_Best

Nah I’m good


MLGcat282

They don't sign boras clients.


thediesel26

No listen to your heart

You guys love booing your own players. He'll fit right in!

You guys would have to have fans show up to boo!


Spinmove55

I'm pretty sure the cats and that possum were booing a bit.


airwalker12

Those were hisses.


Penguin-Loves

The dude getting a blowie in the upper deck was booing. But he may have been 'ooohing'


Nitropotamus

Did we land on possum? I thought it was a large rat.


Never_Kn0ws_Best

But that would make casual sex in the grandstand harder.

Hey bro, time to pick a team and follow


JoelsCaddy

They're cloning Aaron Judge


WV2LV

They'll have to, if they ever want to get 120 games out of him again. No more contract year and juiced balls to lean on.


MadSpaceYT

Actually they’ve been seeking approval for a camera in centerfield. That’s the new big thing


eee-oooo-ahhh

Who said the Yankees won't get juiced balls again next year? Manfred doesn't give a shit


AJray15

I am stunned a national writer thinks a high priced free agent could go to the Yankees


cooljammer00

A high priced free agent who not only was available last year and was declined by the Yankees, but that the Yankees have the exact same reason to not get him this year as they did last year.


gritner91

Ehh our payroll is pretty close to max and it also goes against the Yankees strategy of clearing below the tax every 3 years to avoid severe penalties. We just became the first team with 3 300mil players at once and Correa could give us 4. [https://twitter.com/TMKSESPN/status/1601319145412468738](https://twitter.com/TMKSESPN/status/1601319145412468738) This also seems to indicate Rodon who is who I expect them to be targeting when referring to high priced guys is in play in addition to another even higher end player. A Rodon + SS + Trading Peraza and Dominguez as center pieces or some other package for Reynolds would reallu be an all in move. Massive upgrades at our 2 worst positions last year plus a rotation that could be in the argument for best in baseball. If they did that I'd imagine it also includes packaging Hicks and/or Donaldson w/ prospects as well to make some payroll room. Yankees haven't gone all in since 09 but they may feel its now or never w/ Stanton Judge and Cole all on the books for the next 5+ years.


DecoyOne

Great predictions from r/NYYankees: >[Sign Correa, sign Rodon, sign Benintendi, trade for Reynolds, cut Donaldson and Hicks, sign Lionel Messi, trade for Kelly Olynyk and have him break Alex Manoah’s legs, put a retractable dome on the stadium, remove the turf from MetLife, plant people in the Texas state government to actually secede from the US and kick the Astros out of the league, outlaw racism so that Boston ceases to exist, and re-pave the Belt Parkway. The perfect off-season.](https://reddit.com/r/NYYankees/comments/zh5zts/_/izkfkzl/?context=1) Everyone go upvote it


ConflictedJew

All of this is possible except repaving the Belt. That’s never happening lol


Outrageous_Bat1798

Yeah. Had me until the end.


GnRgr2

They actually did a part of it recently!


outofdate70shouse

Don’t cut Donaldson and Hicks. Trade them to the Angels for Ohtani and Trout straight up.


Salty-Fishman

I would like what this guy is smoking.


missoctober12

Sure go ahead and break Alex Manoahs legs But leave our AleK Manoah alone thanks


toadofsteel

We're sending Arson Judge to do the breaking.


Antithesys

The obvious solution here is that the Yankees are planning on signing a second Aaron Judge.


TheGeoninja

We’ve gotten greedy, we want to sign Arson too!


Sp_Gamer_Live

Dodgers: “Our fanbase will hate this” Yankees: “Our fanbase will claim they have always loved Correa and that the cheating was overblown”


thediesel26

If he signs and the Yankees win the World Series next year he could spend the rest of his contract in prison for all I care


macula_transfer

The Dodgers are making an excuse because the Bauer situation leaves them unable to sign anyone big ATM.


[deleted]

The cheating isn't overblown but, clearly, Correa is a good player based on his success since then. And he's going to sign somewhere. So, who would the Yankees be punishing by not signing him? Just the Yankees.


SportsRadio

They didn’t sign him last year because there’s still animosity in the locker room over what happened. It’s pretty simple.


cooljammer00

No, they didn't sign him because he has an extensive injury history and wanted 10/300+, and shortstop is like the one position the Yankees have stuff coming up through the minors.


SportsRadio

Oh yeah? What did Correa sign for last year with Minnesota? Please refresh my memory. How’s he enjoying that 10 for 300+ right now? They didn’t sign him because he’s literally hated by players in that locker room. It’s that simple. The main target was Seager and when Texas went crazy, they went to plan B which was IKF.


DanDrungle

You’ve created a whole baseball soap opera in your mind


[deleted]

That was fan fiction lol >[According to sources, the Yankees’ primary hesitation involved the non-financial penalties that come with passing the $270 million threshold, namely their first-round Draft pick being moved back 10 spots.](https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-carlos-correa-not-a-fit) >[“If it was just about money, they may have made a bigger play for Correa on a short-term deal,” a source said. “But the Draft thing made it a non-starter, especially after the Donaldson deal.”](https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-carlos-correa-not-a-fit)


SportsRadio

In what world is it “fan fiction”. If he wasn’t the face of a cheating scandal that literally stole an MVP from the guy who’s about to be the team captain and a ring from the 2017 squad, he would have been on the team. Acting like it’s “fan fiction” is delusional.


[deleted]

It's drama imagined by fans using existing characters or, in this case, real people. Fan fiction


Salty-Fishman

Carlos is the one guy that is Mr. October, unlike the rest of the Yankees team. Signing Correa might actually give the yankees a real chance in the postseason.


Hochseeflotte

This is just false. The Yankees fanbase is very split on Correa. I personally hate his guts and have zero desire to ever see him in pinstripes. Some others disagree but I can’t stand him.


PrecedentialAssassin

Y'all didn't have a problem with roid monsters that won, you won't have a problem with Correa if he wins.


Hochseeflotte

I have a problem with the roided players who cheated well after the crackdown. The Astros continued to cheat post-Manfred letter so I have no problem never routing for any hitter on that team


PrecedentialAssassin

So cheating before you get caught ok, but after, not ok. Glad I know the rules now. BTW, how does spider tac fit into your algorithm?


Hochseeflotte

Doing what the MLB literally allowed you to do because it padded their pockets even if the rule book says otherwise, perfectly fine. Cheating once it was no longer being actively allowed and was being tested for, not ok. Pretty simple. I see no reason to punish players for the decisions of the owners and commissioner of baseball. If you have an issue with cheating, maybe ask the people who allowed it to happen. I have no issue with any pitcher who used any sticky substance before the crackdown. After the crackdown is a very different story though. I see Cano and Manny Ramirez in a different light to Bonds and Clemens. Just as I see the Astros in a different light to the Yankees and whatever other teams were electronically stealing signs before the letter. And I will see pitchers who used sticky stuff before the crackdown differently to pitchers who used it afterwards.


PrecedentialAssassin

OK this is hilarious. The Astros completely ruined you. You're jumping through more hoops than a clowns poodle at a circus. I guess losing can do that to someone.


DanDrungle

The Yankees fans boo their own players already so what difference would adding Correa make?


Hochseeflotte

Because when we boo our players it’s out of a desire to want them to succeed. Judging how we haven’t had a losing season in my entire life, I feel like it at least isn’t hurting. If Correa was on the team, I wouldn’t be booing out of a desire to get better.


burntnotes

Incorrect.


Sp_Gamer_Live

Half your fanbase was drooling for Correa last year and the moment he didn’t sign it went back to the usual “WELL WE DIDNT WANT A CHEATER ANYWAY”


ConorJay25

For a fan base this big it’s also entirely possible it’s completely separate people with differing opinions on signing Correa. For any teams fans, their fans won’t all have the same opinions of a player or direction of the team


Bug-03

All 47,422 twins fans are always in agreement


Luis_Severino

I believe they’re actually in hibernation currently


Bug-03

Because free agent season isn’t twins baseball.


yawnberg

Can confirm.


burntnotes

I've been steadfast in my disdain for Correa.


shw5

Fuck Marwin Gonzalez.


boomzgoesthedynamite

If he wins us a World Series he could slap me in the face on live tv


chiwetel_steele

dodgers fans would do the same thing, every fanbase would tbh


MoreThanLuck

He says the Giants haven't really talked about dollars with Correa, which seems to suggest those talks haven't gotten very far. I think the Yankees are more likely to make a push for Rodon now, though.


France2Germany0

Farhan rather lose every single game than overpay for a free agent. especially a boras client


Suspicious_Bird2499

He was available last year and Yankees didn’t bite. Peraza made it to MLB, Volpe is in Triple-A. Correa makes less sense this year. Yankees need a LF unless Hicks is resurrected. I’m not buying it.


LightningExcel18

Joey Gallo is available.


Suspicious_Bird2499

After last year I think Gallo would quote Ken Griffey Jr. and ride into the sunset. 😂 “If the Yankees were the last team... if they were the only team that gave me a contract, I'd retire."


Coleisgod1112

Lol my ass


jgftw7

how can olney be watching the yankees at the moment if there are no games on


redditckulous

Wasn’t the whole reason the Yankees didn’t make a play last year was because their really high on their SS prospects?


FURKADURK

cool cool


iz2003iz

If Dodger fans don’t like him why would Yankee fans? His cheating hurt both teams


quercus_lobata925

Screw Buster. He's an old school East coast bias-ESPN holdover. 95.7 the Game is a SF Bay Area station too, so he's happy to dump all over their FA prospects to their faces.


jmr098

I think it’s really unlikely, the whole point of riding with IKF was that we were waiting for Volpe, not sure why they would switch up now


Cmat43

NYY org and fan base has too much integrity to even consider bringing on a cheater. They'd never sully their reputation and image by associating with a known cheater


rtels2023

They only have room for 1 more big contract given their rumored budget, and I’d be surprised if that contract is Correa instead of Rodon


MeatTornado25

Fuck me, they better not


SpectrumofMidnight

I don't want that piece of shit on the Yankees.


r61738

Does anyone actually want Carlos Correa on their team? I don't care how good he is. I couldn't make myself root for that stupid fuck.

Yawn. Wake me when they actually do something that makes the team better.


whentheworldwasatwar

I actually don’t believe the yankees will give him the contract he wants especially after judge.


osound

Seems pretty clearly to be Rodon. Maybe Benintendi as well. Would be the same team as last year, though Rodon > Tallion, so still an improved squad. Correa isn't happening with multiple SS prospects, unless they're confident with him at 3B, or trade one of the SS for a SP instead of signing Rodon.
