Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole: Should Yankees listen?

The New York Yankees are looking to right the ship during the 2023-24 offseason, or so they say, but how much will they rely on their players to help the front office with their decision-making? Aaron Judge has come out and said that he wants to help the Yankees with their supposed overhaul and that he has ideas, while Gerrit Cole has been reluctant to be as vocal as Judge. Should the Yankees listen to the highest-paid player on their team and franchise player? Will they listen to him? How realistic is it to think that the front office will actually use Judge’s input regarding offseason deals and decisions? Then Stacey and Steve talk about the former Yankees who are heading to the World Series, including Aroldis Chapman, Nate Eovaldi, and Jordan Montgomery, and they discuss the culture around the Yankees. There are a bunch of fun teams in the playoffs with lots of personalities and flair. Could the Yankees be fun again like they were in 2017, or are they regressing back into the uptight, business-like Yankees of the post-dynasty era. And finally, the World Series matchup is set and Stacey and Steve talk about the exciting Game 7 in Philadelphia.  Our Yamamoto breakdown: https://youtu.be/JvDxMKZBExE?si=eNInN0-gbtwTtaVj&t=840 Judge retired: https://gobulldogs.com/news/2023/10/19/2944retirement Join the LOY Insiders Club via subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankees What is subtext? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQ Follow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGots Subscribe to Steve’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevegranado Follow Steve On Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranado Follow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankees Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! birddogs Go to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONMLB or enter promo code LOCKEDONMLB for a free water bottle with any order.
