Yoenis Céspedes

The football skills of Mike Ditka, rest in peace.

Or the baseball skills of Yoenis Cespedes turning 41.

Well, uh-

Ooh

It's close for me.

I'm gonna start Ditka.

I'll bench Yoenis Cespedes.

I love Mongo McMichael, especially when he got into pro wrestling.

There was a time where he was explaining to somebody, I overheard him talking.

I was sitting there in the, in the cafeteria and he was explaining the Yoenis Céspedes trade, and exactly how, k- you know, like, just how it came across in the book when you were talking about-

Huh

... uh, I got a bone to pick with you.

And I saw our Patreon supporter, Peter Labuza, I have not fact-checked this, but he looked for the, the biggest difference in vertical pitch location for consecutive home runs by one player, and evidently this was the third-biggest difference in height, pitch height, on homers back to back for one player.

The best or biggest difference was Yoenis Céspedes in April 2018, and then Trey Mancini in August of 2019, and then José Ramírez.

Yeah, I saw even, uh, uh, there were some...

I, I think that first one was, like, 3.2 feet off the ground.

Since they are in win now mode, I imagine or hope that they are looking for established or, uh, high potential Major League ready guys.

Uh, I would love it if they did a one for one swap like Jon Lester, uh, and Yoenis Cespedes a few years ago, but is anything like that even out there?" Uh, and then he goes on, uh But Anthony, what do you think of-- Yeah, Seattle has a lot of pitchers.

Uh, they traded Luis Castillo, but still have a lot.

What do you think, uh, they can do this off-season?

I ain't making this up.

They kept Cespedes.

We were stunned.

We couldn't believe they kept Cespedes.

Very different expectations when it came to the finances in 2017.

But what say you? You can email us, thericob at gmail.com, or you can give your opinion on our brand new Rico Bronya site, thericob.com, where you can find all our recent Ricos, all our past Ricos, whether it's the audio edition, whether it's the video edition.

But the shot of the two A's outfielders.

Cespedes and whoever else whoever was the other one kind of crashing into the wall Johnny Gomes who came to the Royals later I mean it's like and

then Josh Donaldson almost got the thing he's with the Blue Jays

the next year so many things I thought it was great I noticed I remember this after they won the pennant in 15 I remember thinking I looked back and saw, within an hour or so, I saw a clip of last year.
