Locked On Yankees - Daily Podcast On The New York Yankees

The Yankees' ace was not Gerrit Cole in 2022,. It was Nestor Cortes, Jr. who had an incredible season. Stacey goes through what went right (a lot), what went wrong (not a lot), and what the future holds for Cortes. Plus, Aaron Judge wins another Silver Slugger (not shocking) and gets a qualifying offer from the Yankees. And so did Anthony Rizzo. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Anthony Rizzo Rizzo opted out of the remaining $16 million owed on the two-year, $32 million deal he signed before the 2022 campaign and became a free agent along with a few other 2022 Yankees, including Aaron Judge. Luis Severino's option was picked up, which was a no-brainer for the Yankees. There's a new Hall Of Fame ballot that Don Mattingly is a part of for possible induction in 2023. Aaron Judge is a finalist for the 2022 American League MVP award, and the 2022 Yankee Sporcle quiz is out. Stacey tells you what to expect and also tells you how difficult it can be.

Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman spoke to the media at Yankee Stadium on Friday, and Stacey reacted to what they said. They talked about 2022, the highs and the lows, IKF's defense, Josh Donaldson's lack of offense, an extension for Luis Severino, and free agent AaronJudge. Cashman also talks about the process vs. results, and Stacey has some thoughts about that as well. Plus, the World Series is heading back to Houston with the Astros in the lead. Can the Phillies win two games? Maybe? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Harrison Bader played for the St. Louis Cardinals, and even though he wasn't around for it, Albert Pujols left the Cards in 2011 for big free agency money. So Bader knows it's possible that Aaron Judge could leave the Yankees this winter in free agency. Bader wants Judge to stay in NY and remain his teammate. We all want that, Harrison. The Astros recovered from their 7-0 shutout loss to come right back and through a combined no-hitter. Yes, it's a thing, and it will probably become more and more common. Plus, more writers are defending the Astros from getting booed, and Aaron Boone had some things to say on Michael Kay's show. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Yankees aren't in the World Series, but they are watching one of the players they passed up on in the 2018-19 offseason, Bryce Harper, have a great postseason. They say hindsight is 20/20, but some of us wished the Yankees would take a chance on Harper. Also, Lance McCullers Jr had a rough start in Game 2, and a former Yankee player doesn't think the fans booing Yankee players is that big a deal. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Stacey looks back at 10/31/01 and 11/1/01 because that's when the Yankees used to make the World Series! Those two games were crazy and Stacey attended one of them. Plus, Jose Trevino wins a Fielding Bible Award and a Gold Glove Award and he's only the third Yankees' catcher to do that so it's kind of a big deal. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The New York Yankees may be done for the year, but the news isn't. Aaron Boone is staying but is Brian Cashman? Also, Yankee fans may be driving players away from New York because they boo too much, and the World Series is happening even though the Yankees aren't in it. Stacey discusses all this and more.

Stacey discusses the Yankees' embarrassing end to an odd up-and-down season and discusses how this team can't succeed if the current owner doesn't change his ways. There is some talk about specific moments in the ALCS that changed the course of their season, and Stacey wonders if the Yankees care about winning or if they are just saying it to placate the fanbase.

The Yankees dropped Game 1 of the ALCS to the Astros, 4-2, thanks to a sputtering offense and perplexing bullpen moves by manager Aaron Boone. Stacey discusses Boone's decision-making, a common theme in every Yankees' loss so far in the 2022 postseason. Stacey also discusses the umpires and how Thursday night's home plate umpire can affect Game 2's result. Plus, Stacey previews Thursday's pitching matchup: Luis Severino vs. Framber Valdez.
