70 | David Cone on what could come next with Trevor Bauer and Carlos Correa

Toeing The Slab with David Cone

David, Justin and James usher in 2023 by taking a look at what may happen with Trevor Bauer’s immediate future as a MLB pitcher. David and James believe the poison of the entire situation will be too much for other teams to deal with if the Dodgers release Bauer. Justin believes Bauer will receive another chance somewhere because history has shown that you will get another opportunity if you have elite talent. The crew also discusses whether the Yankees should be monitoring the holdup between the Mets and Carlos Correa, just as the Mets did with Correa and the Giants. They go through which contender still has the most to do when it comes to addressing pitching, and Justin presents an elite name that these teams should go after via trade. David reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Yankees purchase by George Steinbrenner. Also, who could follow Judge and Ohtani as AP Male Athlete of the Year? And ten new umpires will be hired in 2023; coupled with the new rules this season, how closely should we monitor that storyline this season?
