Locked On Yankees - Daily Podcast On The New York Yankees

Spring Training is kinda boring so thank goodness for the World Baseball Classic! The US had a great weekend beating Venezuela on Saturday and Cuba on Sunday to advance to the finals—they await the winner of the Japan-Mexico matchup on Monday. The energy at the ballpark was electric and the fans were really into it by oohing and ahhing on nearly every play.  The Yankees also had a busy weekend with Nestor Cortes making his Spring debut, Isaiah Kiner-Falefa making his debut in centerfield and Gerrit Cole having his worst inning of the spring. Plus, the Yankees announced the winners of the 2022 Kevin Lawn Award which awards the Pitcher of the Year and the Position Player of the Year. Congrats to RHP Will Warren and OF Jasson Dominguez!  Follow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGots Follow SteveOn Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranado Follow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankees Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Stacey and Steve admit they were wrong about Anthony Volpe after comments that New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone made about the young infielder. Could he actually be with the Yankees on Opening Day? There’s a strong possibility. How about Jasson Dominguez? Well, Stacey and Steve were right about him. He’s going to have to wait to make his Yankee Stadium debut. We also look at the Opening Day roster with Volpe and possibly Peraza on it and try to figure out which 26 guys will be with the Yankees. And we answer listener/viewer questions!  Aaron Boone’s Volpe comments https://twitter.com/FoulTerritoryTV/status/1636472656789929991 Follow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGots Follow SteveOn Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranado Follow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankees Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Carlos Rodon envisioned as the club’s No. 2 starter after signing a six-year, $162 million contract this past winter -- has been diagnosed with a mild left elbow strain and will begin the season on the injured list, Cashman said. “I can go out there and perform, but am I performing at my best and how long am I going to last throughout the season if I continue down this road?” Rodón said. “I’m not here to pitch until the All-Star break. I’m here to pitch well into October and whenever this team needs me. If it’s Oct. 5th or it’s the ALDS, I’m taking the ball. I want to pitch.” Rodón underwent an MRI on Wednesday after experiencing discomfort while throwing sliders during his Grapefruit League debut, in which he permitted five runs over two-plus innings against the Braves in North Port, Fla., and was clocked between 91-94 mph. During that outing, manager Aaron Boone cautioned Rodón against trying to manufacture velocity. Plus other injuries to Tommy Kahnle, Lou Trivino and Harrison Bader are hampering New York. Steve and Stacey discuss before fielding some viewer quesitons.

Frankie Montas said he was not "100 percent" healthy last year when he was traded to the New York Yankees and emphasized that he expects to pitch this season. Montas is expected to miss at least the first half of this season after undergoing surgery last month on the labrum in his pitching shoulder. The right-hander told reporters Wednesday that he tried to "push through" shoulder issues when he joined the Yankees last season after an Aug. 1 trade with the Oakland Athletics. Aaron Judge said of Anthony Volpe: “I think he’s got all the makeup tools,” Judge said. “He checks a lot of boxes -- defensively, offensively. He’s a tough at-bat. He’s got the speed, which is a big factor now in the game. My thing has always been, if you’re the best player, it shouldn’t matter your age. You should be up helping the New York Yankees. It doesn’t matter if you’re 19 or 41. If you’re the best guy for the job, you should be playing.”  Plus Steve and Stacey give you updates on the World Baseball Classic! https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/35811508/frankie-montas-says-100-healthy-traded-yankees https://nypost.com/2023/03/08/frankie-montas-reveals-he-was-injured-before-yankees-trade/ https://www.mlb.com/news/aaron-judge-plays-left-field-talks-anthony-volpe Follow Shawn Spradling for WBC: https://twitter.com/Shawn_Spradling Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Gerrit Cole has quietly become one of the best starting pitchers in baseball. The New York Yankees ace has been the most consistent starter in the game since 2018. Now with Luis Severino, Nestor Cortes, Carlos Rodon, Domingo German and Clarke Schmidt behind him, 2023 is primed to be another stellar season for Cole. Stacey and Steve look at his 2022 numbers in comparison to his career and look to project how he will pitch leading the Yankees starting staff. We look out for years to come and discuss whether he could ever win a Cy Young award and ponder his Hall of Fame candidacy.

Aaron Judge had a historic season in 2022, breaking Roger Maris’ single-season American League home run record. Along the way, the New York Yankees slugger set personal single-season highs in all slash categories, hits, runs scored, RBI and offensive WAR. Today, we ponder what’s in store for Judge in the 2023 season. Can he repeat his MVP performance? What would it take for him to win the award for a second year in a row over Shohei Ohtani? Or is there a more realistic expectation set for him, with his numbers potentially dipping down? Stacey and Steve discuss on today’s Locked On Yankees. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It appears that the New York Yankees and Aaron Boone will start allowing Oswaldo Cabrera to play centerfield. The young Venezuelan infielder has been asked to play multiple positions in the outfield in the Majors, despite having little to no experience at those positions in his Minor League career. Could they possibly play Cabrera in center over Aaron Judge or Harrison Bader?  Play, Gleyber Torres recently spoke on the trade rumors that have swirled around him over the last two seasons. How much has it affected him? We discuss this and answer the most impossible Yankees question: Who would you keep between Anthony Volpe, Oswald Peraza, Cabrera and Jasson Dominguez?

New York Yankees pitcher Wandy Peralta struck out Pirates infielder Tucupita Marcano in just under 20 seconds during Thursday’s spring training game against Pittsburgh. With two outs left in the second inning and the Yankees up 3-0, Peralta wasted no time on the mound. The 31-year-old pitcher started Marcano’s at-bat with a quick strike, and subsequently started his windup for his next pitch with 12 seconds still left on the pitch clock. Marcano fouled the pitch off to bring the count to 0-2. (New York Post) We update the catching injury situation to Josh Breaux, Ben Rortvedt and Austin Wells. Later in the show, we answer YOUR questions about the shortstop battle and Gleyber Torres potential trades.

Estevan Florial, once the New York Yankees top prospect, is out of Minor League options. The Yankees need to decide whether he will be on the Major League roster or will be placed on waivers. He hasn't had consistent MLB time yet, and is battling for a roster spot with Oswaldo Cabrera, Oswald Peraza, Rafael Ortega and Willie Calhoun for the 26th spot.
