00:00My colleague John Heyman and I both heard the Yankees had some interest in Alec Boehm.
00:05How would Boehm fit?
00:06Well, the Yankees were willing to deal with some bad defense at third base with Ahmad Rosario
00:10in exchange for Rosario hitting left-hand pitching well, which he had done his whole career.
00:15He did not do that well in 2026.
00:19It was part of the reason the Yankee offense went down a grade or two.
00:23Boehm, throughout his career, has hit lefty pitching well, including in 2026.
00:27He is not a good third baseman.
00:30If he signed with the Yankees, I think he'd be part of a first base.
00:33The Yankees aren't probably going to bring back Paul Goldschmidt, the righty part of any
00:37kind of platoon there.
00:38So I think it would be that.
00:40And I think would they consider living with what the defense of Boehm is at third base
00:44and maybe keeping someone like Ryan McMahon as a defensive caddy to play for him late in
00:50games they lead, or Jose Caballero to play for him at third base in games they lead?
00:54I think he is in play.
