Kyle Tucker rounds the bases at Yankee Stadium (Imagn)
A vocal portion of the New York Yankees' fanbase have expressed their discontent about Juan Soto's signing with cross-city rivals New York Mets. Soto's MVP-caliber season with the Bronx Bombers ended when he signed the biggest contract in sports history. The biggest question for owner Hal Steinbrenner and general manager Brian Cashman now is who could possibly replace Soto.
In the WFAN radio segment hosted by Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata, legendary talk-show host Mike Francesca shut down rumors that the Yankees are pursuing the signature of Houston Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker.
"Yankees and Astros hate each other. They aren't going to make a trade," Francesca said. (1:50-1:54)
Francesca was alluding to the 2017 cheating scandal the Astros were embroiled in that caused ripples through the league and especially the Yankees, who were knocked out by the Astros in Game 7 in that year's ALCS.
