Could the Yankees trade for this second baseman? According to Joel Sherman, the Yankees have shown interest in Michael Massey of the Kansas City Royals. Would that be a good fit for the Yankees? Let me know what you guys think down in the comments. Hit that like button and subscribe if you haven't already. It's free. This is the place to be if you love the New York Yankees. Michael Massey, if you guys don't know him, plays for the Kansas City Royals, second baseman. this season for Kansas City let's go take a look at his numbers he hit .272, 13 home runs, 50 runs batted in 303 on base percentage 731 OPS 428 slug 104 OPS plus you have Massey for a couple of more seasons as you can see here if you were to trade for him right now he can play the outfield too he's also a left-handed bat now if Massey was on the team this year he would have the highest batting average on the New York Yankees not even kidding he would have had the highest average on the Yankees now left-handed hitter the Yankees lineup kind of had a lot of those you're losing a guy like Jazz Trent Grisham to free agency most likely going to move on from Ryan McMahon do you want to Add Massey, who is, by the way, a very good second baseman. Jazz played well this past year over there. Second base, outs above average. I believe Jazz had like a 13 outs above average. FRV was also good. Defensive run saved, not so great for Jazz. But Massey, really good defensive runs saved. Let's go check that out, actually. Over there on FanGraphs, Massey had five defensive runs saved, 11 outs above average, and eight FRV fielding run value. Is he a good fit? Would you want the Yankees to go and trade for him? I think when it comes down to it, the Yankees need guys who can put the bat on the ball and who keep the line moving, right? They also need guys who don't strike out a lot either because they have a lot of those. Now, Massey only struck out 75 times this past year in 131 games for Kansas City. He doesn't strike out. I would like him to walk a bit more. he doesn't walk all that much but if the yankees could make a move for a guy like him would you guys do it and what would you trade now probably won't cost you all that much i'm actually going to baseballtradevalues.com here to see what it could potentially take to go get Massey okay his value isn't that bad but what would Kansas City want for a guy like Massey would they want a pitching prospect so are we looking at like a Thatcher Hurd for for Massey maybe you'd have to put in somebody else but if you want to take a look at this right here so Massey if you guys use this site baseball trade values it gives you a very rough idea on what it could possibly take to go and get somebody so it shows you their values their potential value and Massey's rated a six Thatcher Hurd's rated a five so let's validate the trade seems fair right so if the Royals want a pitching prospect in Thatcher Hurd for Massey a guy with multiple years of control beyond 2027 i believe maybe it's 27 to 28 so he's got two years of of control is it worth it he's a good player Massey's a pretty solid player really good defender he hits the baseball doesn't strike out a lot would not be upset if the yankees could pull off a deal to get him but you're adding another left-handed bat and yes you're losing one in Jazz and you're losing another in Trent Grisham you're adding a left-handed bat where you want to kind of throw in a righty instead and that's where Anthony Volpe comes in for second base we've seen Volpe play a little bit of second last season he held the zone over there I honestly I thought he looked good I've said this before and I'm going to say it again sending him down was the best thing to happen to him they send him down hits the crap out of the ball down there in Triple-A just knocks the crap out of the ball they bring him back up and even though the numbers don't reflect it he just seemed like a different player and listen if you've been following the channel for a while you know i'm incredibly incredibly incredibly tough on Anthony Volpe you could look at past uploads and i've been incredibly tough on him but i'm if i read if i see something else and if i see like oh hey this player looks a little different i'm also going to call that out and i'm also going to give credit where credit is due and with Anthony Volpe I think he deserves some credit here he just looked like a different ball player but in a in a good way in a good way so trading for a guy like Massey he hit .272 last year didn't strike out a lot at all 75 strikeouts as I said earlier and he would have led the Yankees in batting average doesn't get on base much that's .731 OPS solid I mean of course I would I'd welcome that for sure it's higher than what Jazz had last year it's higher than what Jazz had last year so Massey is that a bad move and that's not a bad move I just good defender if you could get him for kind of cheap maybe you try to get him he's a good baseball player I would love though Anthony Volpe if that's what you're gonna do I would just try to roll with Anthony Anthony Volpe and just see what you have in him I don't think that's a crazy thing to say I want to see what you have in Volpe if you're tempted to trade for a guy like Michael Massey but if you could get a good deal for him well maybe you make that move but I want to bring this up and I know we talked about it I know I talked about it the other day Jorge Posada I'm just seeing the it's so weird man it's so weird how some Yankees fans feel about it like me personally I love Jorge i love i love his fire i love the fire the passion that he has when it comes down to it is he going to be the yankees manager no you can't help though how somebody feels and i've seen oh you know the yankees invite jorge to old-timers day they invite him to this and that you could get invited to something and still feel a little weird about it you could feel uncomfortable in a situation but still have a presence there that doesn't make any sense oh he's invited they didn't say he wasn't invited but things like spring training he mentioned all right well he doesn't really go to that because of how he feels a little unwelcome now i know some of you wanted like a reason why he felt unwelcome if that comes out that comes out it is what it is he feels how he feels he's a four-time world series champion he managed some of the best pitching staffs over the past 30 years he's very good so enough of the honestly enough of the Jorge slander I just think it's a little silly why are we talking about Jorge in a negative light it doesn't make sense to me at all it truly truly doesn't not that he can't do anything wrong I'm not saying Jorge's perfect nobody is but just because he feels a certain way he gets called out on it and it's it's just it seems a little weird that's all it just seems weird to me but guys listen thank you so so much for watching I actually have a giants channel if that's your thing joe talks Giants go look it up cover the New York Giants over there so if you want to go check that out that would be much appreciated but guys listen thank you so so much for watching I'll see you next time take care
