The Yankees improve their bullpen and defense. Didi Gregorious doesn’t need to replace Hall of Fame Derek Jeter. He just needs to replace old and breaking down Derek Jeter.

Nobody cares if you report a trade or signing first. Meanwhile the Happ for Saunders deal is odd and why weren’t the Yankees in on Nick Markakis?

MEGHAN KEMP/BOSTON RED SOX
Long time and beloved figure of the Red Sox organization Dick Bresciani passed away this weekend.
His thumbprint on the Red Sox was indelible.
His wife, my first grade teacher, was instrumental in making me a baseball fanatic.
If it wasn’t for Mrs. Bresciani, there would be no Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball what level of achievement is needed for the Sandoval trade to be seen as a success for both parties? Less than WS berth?
— En Æ Wakeman (@wakemanna) November 25, 2014
How will the Sandoval trade work out?
It is more than just looking at the numbers. Fans have to love and embrace him and there needs to be a “Sandoval Game.”
It is a tall order broken down on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Josh Donaldson was traded? WHAT?
The A’s sent their MVP candidate for 4 players including 3 minor leaguers who could be great or could fizzle?
Forget the evergreen podcast I had ready to go.
This is an emergency episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!

Stuck at the airport at Thanksgiving, I began to think about potential Cespedes deals and why the Cole Hamels trade is so critical for the Phillies.

The Giants are moving on from Pablo Sandoval. And with the money they saved, they could fill a lot of holes and be back to the playoffs before you can say Joe Panik.
It is an out with the old and in with the new episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Mariners signed Kyle Seager to a big contract, assuring the Mariners will have yet ANOTHER All Star to play a decade with them.
So when are they going to win a pennant?

@sullybaseball @AceballStats where do you think he’d rank all-time if he didn’t take time off to serve in the war?

Had Ted Williams not missed 3 years of his prime and 2 more seasons of solid numbers, his final stats would still put him among the best of all time.
I guess that made him an even bigger bad ass serving our country.
It is an episode of hypotheticals on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Driving to San Jose Airport, I struck up a conversation with my dad about Pablo Sandoval and whether or not he will end up with the Red Sox or Giants.
Why have a private conversation when you can turn it into a podcast?

The brilliant Mike Nichols died the other day.
The maestro was so brilliant and prolific in his career that he would have been a legend even if he had never directed The Graduate, which was the Citizen Kane of comedies.
His career reminded me of Branch Rickey’s, who transformed baseball in ways that are still felt today and would have been one of its greatest pioneers even if he never broke the color barrier.
It is another strange comparison episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Comedian and friend of Sully Baseball, Poppi Kramer, joins the podcast to continue her conversation about her love for the Mets.

Thinking of the good will already in the bank with the fan bases, I hope Jon Lester goes back to Boston and the Panda returns to San Francisco.

The Marlins make a long term deal for Giancarlo Stanton to win over fans in the short term.
The Cardinals make a short term deal for Jason Heyward to keep fans for the long term.
It all makes sense.

How should the San Diego Padres try to rebuild their team?
Should they grab any free agent bat they can get?
Or should they deal their valuable pitchers?

Of course pitchers should be eligible to win the MVP.
But the winners need to be announced BEFORE the playoffs begin. In fact they can track the voting like the Presidential elections.
If they can tabulate a nationwide election in one day, why not the post season awards?
It is an election coverage episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I can not tell you for sure what is going to happen with Giancarlo Stanton’s career.
One thing I DO know is that in 13 years, he will NOT be a member of the Marlins.
That and other brave predictions of today’s Sully Baseball Daily Podcast

I propose a trade before the 2015 season between two broken down former MVPs owed $60 million.
The Yankees should trade A-Rod to the Phillies for Ryan Howard.
Which side turns down that trade?
Which side is burned?

Do the Giants want to keep up this winning? Then they have some work to do this off season.

I believe the Cubs tampered to sign Joe Maddon.
I have knowledge that the Mets have lost their damn minds with the Michael Cuddyer signing.

Why did reading a back issue of Cinefex make me think about the traditional writers vs Sabermetrics crowd?
Because when I grew up, I was the equivalent of a Sabermatrician in terms of movie watching.

MARK THE DATE AND TIME!
I am predicting that James Shields will be a bad free agent signing. Someone will sign him to a long term deal and regret it.

Kevin Youkilis has retired. And it makes me sick that his official image on Yahoo Sports is in a Yankee Uniform.
The Red Sox need to do a better job of saying good bye to our heroes.

Alfonso Soriano is calling it a career. And it was indeed a fine career.
But if Nomar Garciaparra had accepted a contract extension from Boston, Soriano would have been a revered Yankee legend.
Trust me. It makes sense in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
