Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger? The New York Yankees face a critical offseason decision that could define their championship window with Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole.

Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon break down the statistical case for pursuing Tucker over re-signing Bellinger, comparing three-year metrics including WRC+, barrel rates, and base running numbers. The hosts analyze Max Fried's exclusion from AL Cy Young finalist voting behind Tarik Skubal, Garrett Crochet, and Hunter Brown, examining whether the Yankees' new ace was truly snubbed. Discussion covers player options across MLB, including the Cubs' puzzling decision to decline Shota Imanaga's club option, Luis Robert's situation with the White Sox, and the booming reliever market. The hosts also address whether Bo Bichette makes sense at shortstop over Anthony Volpe and revisit the Sonny Gray trade that sent James Kaprielian to Oakland.

Discover why the Yankees should go all-in on their top target and which advanced metrics reveal the clear choice for their outfield.
