Yanks Go Yard: A New York Yankees podcast

Yankees Chasing Anthony Volpe Replacement, One More Reunion (Plus Bullpen Trade Shocker)

January 29

56 mins

Episode Description

The Yankees made their bullpen trade and it’s… certainly a choice.

On this episode of Yanks Go Yard, Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante break down the Yankees acquiring Angel Chivilli from the Rockies, a 23-year-old reliever with brutal surface numbers but intriguing underlying traits and another entry in the ever-growing Rox-to-Yanks pipeline. Is this a harmless upside swing… or proof the Yankees can’t stop trading for guys they have to “fix”?

Then, things get even weirder: the Yankees are reportedly doing due diligence on CJ Abrams, a potential Anthony Volpe replacement who feels uncomfortably like the Jazz trade all over again.

Plus: Jack Curry’s tea leaves point toward a Paul Goldschmidt reunion, why it might actually make more sense than wasting roster space on a right-handed catcher, and quick hits on the latest unintentional comedy from Brian Cashman and Joel Sherman.
