BT & Sal dissect Hal Steinbrenner's year-end press conference, focusing on his comments regarding the Yankees' massive payroll and his reluctance to promise another $300M+ spending spree to keep pace with the Dodgers. The hosts vent their frustration over Hal's lack of "irrational behavior" and his deflections on the team's failures, including blaming players for the summer swoons and playoffs. The discussion centers on Hal's claim that it's "not fair to assume" the Yankees make a profit, which the hosts quickly call out as a convenient gloss-over of their $8 billion valuation. Finally, they debate the necessary "radical" roster changes needed, like trading Giancarlo Stanton, to rebuild a winning club, arguing that simply running it back with a healthy rotation and Cody Bellinger isn't enough to secure a World Series.
