Barton Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 How can we take the Yankees seriously anymore if they dont step up and sign this guy? It's inexcusable. Are the Yankees really gonna say we cant give him 35 million a year while they pay Ellsbury and Stanton over 40 million? Does Cashman once again lack the foresight and intelligence to know you need elite starting pitching AND a deep rotation to increase your chances of winning the World Series? How many more decades are we gonna give Cashman a pass for not acquiring aces, either via trade or free agency? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drafts well... probably top 5 in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 There is talk that it will require 8 years. I think the Yankees are going to shake things up more than people expect. These injuries from last year have to be looked at. It can't happen again. On topic though, a rotation of: 1. Cole 2. Severino 3. Tanaka 4. Paxton 5. Happ \ Mongomery Wow. And the Yankees have young prospects. Frazier, Devi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Yankees will likely re-sign Gardner, 1 of the worst batters w/RISP I have ever seen, 1 of the worst postseason hitters in Yankee history, for likely another 7-10million. They are going to be allocating 50 million in payroll to Stanton, who they never needed, Ellsbury, who they never needed, and now Gardner. Dont even get me started on Aaron Hicks. This kind of payroll allocation is a big reason why the Yankees havent won anything in the past 10 years. Outfielders are a dime a dozen. Not to mention we have Frazier and Tauchman on the roster ready to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention we have Frazier and Tauchman on the roster ready to go. I would agree, but Hicks is already out for what looks like almost the entirety of next year We don’t know what Tauchman is yet. Ellsbury is done I don’t know why he doesn’t just retire and Frazier is a corner outfielder who is not getting along with the FO. So we need a CF If the yanks bring back Gardner on a one year $5 mil deal that’s fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It depends. If he really wants to go to the West Coast, and the Dodgers offer him 35 for 7 or 8 years, that may be a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely is, I should have had him in there. But he could end up being trade bait or being in the pen. His suspension this year won't be that long they said since he already served through the suspension. Guy is an idiot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are absolutely bringing back Gardner not only is Hicks out next year he’s a great clubhouse guy and the management loves him.

The Stanton and Hicks contracts are killers I’m going to get lit up for saying this we might eventually have to trade Judge for prospects the same way the Sux are shopping Betts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving a big guy a huge contract post age 30 (with his injury history) is a recipe for disaster. I hope they give him an extension now, and take care of him, kind of a win/win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Cashman recently praised the 2019 season that Gary Sanchez had. Said he had a "great" year. The guy hit .231 with a .313 OBP. Hope he's boosting his trade value but based on what I have seen from Cashman, he's probably not here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Get it done. Cole is a must sign. With that said, the reason the Yankees didn't beat the Astros wasn't because of tbe starting pitching. The offense like it has frequently done in the postseason went silent. I don't know how to fix that other than signing more guys who hit to contact like D.J.L. We also need left handed bats, especially if we're letting Didi walk. Suspect they'll bring back Gardner, with Hicks missing most if not all of next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
