Josh Donaldson

We'll see if Zoll does the same thing.

Now, in the last lockout, that worked out pretty well, because what they ended up doing at, right after the lockout ended, was they ended up trading away the Josh Donaldson contract to a team, to, uh, the Yankees, and then they ended up, uh, signing Correa, who had much less of a market.

He w- they waited out the market, and Correa fell into their laps for a one-year, $30 million deal.

Uh, essentially, a one-year, $30 million [laughs] deal.

We've beaten that dead horse.

I think we've beaten that horse more than we've beaten Joey Gallo and Josh Donaldson and Aaron Hicks.

So here, we're kind of veering off into going into postseason because the Yankees, they're pretty much – I think they've – Magic numbers five.

Yeah.

They've had players like this in the past.

Sean Murphy, Matt Olson, Josh Donaldson is like the first big example, in my opinion.

who left the A...

I mean, he was part of a trade, but you knew you weren't re-signing him because he wasn't going to be good enough, and then he went and won an MVP somewhere else.

Notably, Chris Bassett didn't do it.

Right, like Josh Donaldson only played four years as a Blue Jay, won an MVP.

Yeah.

Returned the Blue Jays to relevance in 2015.

Mitch Garver got traded on the Saturday.

Um, I wanna say that Josh Donaldson got traded on Sunday.

for Gary Sanchez and, and, uh, like that, that all went down like-

For a- for a day and a half.

We talk football, NFL, and CFL.

Uh, I got a baseball one with Josh Donaldson and Russell Martin called the Get It Done League.

Oh.

And then, uh, doing the freelance thing, man.

I have to believe there were 8 or 9,000 people left at 3:00 in the morning.

Yeah, yeah.

So how are Josh Donaldson and, and Russell Martin doing?

Man, they're doing well.

I'm going to believe it when I see it, the Yankees famously do not do that.

And they only do it with people who are just like, like when the Aaron Hicks situation came to a head, when the Josh Donaldson situation came to a head, like those guys were, not only injured, but they were also awful.

Like Stan's an asset when he's healthy.

Um, and he does not, he largely does not hurt the team.

They were coming out.

They had Josh Donaldson's contract.

They re-signed Byron Buxton at the end of 2021.

Going into 2022, again, they had Buxton's new contract.
