Barton Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Recent thoughts: 1. Kudos to Cashman for getting Benintendi. Exactly what they needed. I'd bat him in the top 3 of the lineup, without question. 2. Losing out on Luis Castillo stinks. But I agree in not trading Volpe in that package. Elite SS prospects are a different breed from any other positional player. Hopefully Volpe pans out. Maybe adding additional prospects to a Peraza package would have worked? Who knows.... 3. Another high end starter is needed but it seems like only tier 2 kinda guys are available now: Skubal, Syndergaard, Montas. 4. Bullpen arms are needed. Nobody knows what Chapman or Loaisiaga will do. Clarke Schmidt can pitch, as a starter or reliever. 5. I really like Kiner's bat. He's gotten so many clutch hits with RISP. But he is not a good shortstop. He's very stiff. Everytime he throws the ball to 1st base I hold my breath. He's a liability out there defensively. If Donaldson doesnt have a good 2nd half, then next year I would get rid of Donaldson and put Kiner back at 3B where he won a gold glove. I'd even consider doing that now and bringing up 1 of the kid SS prospects. 6. Cole needs to show some more balls. He's blown leads in his last few starts to piss poor teams. Reds, Royals, Orioles. Cmon man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 They needed another starter. Who do you really trust in the playoffs? That being said, now at least get 1 or 2 relievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Cashman targeted the right areas, thats for sure. Time will tell how these trades pan out. Cant help but think he could have upped his offer and gotten Luis Castillo though. That was a miss, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly has 2.2 ERA vs them, and Yanks know they will have to beat Astros to get to WS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Super risky move to trade Montgomery. Seems alittle odd that a few days after he yells at Boone in front of the entire baseball world when Boone comes in to pull him vs the Mets -- he gets traded. Not a coincidence, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right. I use to tell my son that he was nothing more than a 5 inning pitcher...BUT, never in a million years did I think he would be traded. And for an injured player on top of that...strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Liked the benintendi move but these last 2 giving up 4 prospects including JP sears ( who did nothing but pitch lights out when he was called up) are ridiculous. Now we trade Monty for this scrub Bader who wont play until september and has a 246 life time average and has never played a full season . Cashman is going to destroy the chemistry that helped this team get to this stage once again this idiot is going to try and patch this team with bums by trading prospects because he refuses to spend for an elite player.

And aside from Cole, Montgomery was the only guy in the rotation NOT on an innings limit this year. Side note: Huge screw up by the Yankees not to pony up the extra dollars and sign Verlander this past offseason. God forbid the Yankees go over some little cap threshold for silver spoon Hal. Instead they are paying 60 mill to guys like Hicks, Donaldson, Britton and Chapman. And this was after the Yankees passed on him at the 2017 trade deadline too. Jesus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated the Montgomery trade. Along with the fact that the starting pitching is starting to show signs of wear and tear, they could have just promoted Florial if they wanted a CF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure they'd move Hicks, how many out fielders do they have now? Judge, Stanton, Hicks, Carpenter, Bader, Benintendi. You have an IF that is also overcrowded with Rizzo, Torres, IKF, Donaldson and DJ. I guess come playoffs you'll have a deep team, but who is going to sit? And, you traded a starting pitcher with a good ERA for 2 seasons for a defensive CF with a bad foot who won't play for a month. WTF is that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you trade for Soto, you are telling the whole team you are moving away from the guy who is carrying your team this year in Judge. That can backfire.

Soto still has two years left on his deal. You sign Judge in the off-season and then trade Soto or find a way to fit him in down the line.

PS17 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’m going to echo everyone with the WTF sentiment regarding the Montgomery trade. I really don’t like it. Jack Curry said the Yankees don’t see Montgomery in their rotation at all in the playoffs, so they went for an elite defender. Two problems. The elite defender (in an already overcrowded outfield) is in a walking boot for the foreseeable future, and the rotation has been crumbling. I think Montgomery was a good insurance policy. Shrug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Cole imploding. How does he give up 3 HR in an inning to the Mariners? 15 runs in his last 13 innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
