Description: The focus shifts straight to the Yankees as Brian Cashman publicly defends the decision to bring back Trent Grisham on a one year, $22 million deal and even frames it as a bargain. The crew breaks down why that explanation is driving fans crazy and whether the logic actually holds up in today’s market. The discussion turns into a deeper argument about how the Yankees build rosters, the balance between spending and flexibility, and whether veterans like Grisham are acting as smart insurance or actively blocking the development of younger players like Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones. Is this disciplined roster management or the same thinking that keeps the Yankees from fully committing to their future?
