Should the New York Yankees explore a blockbuster move for Guardians Gold Glove outfielder Steven Kwan, with trade rumors heating up? Could Kwan’s elite defense and contact-first approach finally solidify the Yankees’ leadoff spot and transform their lineup? Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon break down why targeting Kwan makes sense, weighing alternatives like Kyle Tucker and examining the impact of recent qualifying offers and potential lockout risks on a possible trade.

The conversation intensifies as trade packages center around top prospects Spencer Jones and Cade Smith. How would acquiring Kwan affect rising stars like Jason Dominguez, and does the Yankees’ win-now mindset justify dealing away young talent? The hosts also highlight the Yankees’ coaching shake-up as Dan Fiorito steps in as first base coach, potentially signaling managerial succession plans. Is a championship run within reach if the Bronx Bombers retool wisely this offseason?
