I don’t assume there’s any query about that,” Francesa stated. “He won't be the identical participant, as a result of no one is. You don’t know the way he’s gonna age, how gracefully he’s gonna age, how productively he’s gonna age. However the backside line is he’s had damage issues and he’s gonna be 31 late April.”

“In the event you’re a Yankee fan right now, I do know you might be completely happy,” Francesa stated. “A few of you might be overjoyed. You gained’t be overjoyed with this contract six or seven years from now. However that doesn’t matter. There are going to be loads of house runs, loads of nice moments from Choose earlier than that. Nobody can low cost that. However there needs to be massive postseason moments. And people have been few and much between. That’s what has to vary.”
The Astros have eradicated the Yankees two out of the final 4 years and have been the workforce they've been chasing yr in and yr out.
“Establishment is maintained,” Francesa stated. “They nonetheless must tinker with this workforce, enhance this workforce in methods in the event that they need to compete with the Astros.”
