maury77 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Cashman needs to give strong consideration to trading Gleyber for a top end starting pitcher. Yankees have some depth in the infield and can survive a trade of Gleyber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way better option than Cashman sitting around and waiting for gleyber to hit the open market and then overpaying like crazy to resign him Jays just signed IKF to 2 years $15 mil. Cashman could have kept IKF at a similar or even cheaper contract made him 2B and traded Gleyber but he’s in full Isiah-mode now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use those newly acquired assets + current assets = get a top flight starting pitcher. Start Peraza or Durbin at 2b or get another 2nd baseman. They can also consider trading Verdugo, who will be a FA in 12 months. This team still needs a massive overhaul. Massive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashman can’t execute an overhaul because he was the architect of the pile-up in the first place. He owns all these lousy contracts - DJ, Stanton, Rizzo and now Rodon.

He would be admitting his garbage roster building the last 10 years if he did a massive overhaul right now. Stanton is coming back next year? Really? The guy misses 100 games a year and he's hit .210 the last 2 years. He has NO BUSINESS being on the team in 2024. None. Steve Cohen would eat the money and cut/trade him w/o thinking twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just bench Stanton permanently the rest of his contract. Nobody wants Stanton and his asinine contract and Judge needs to be the full-time DH or we might not win 80 games next season Bench DJ too.

Barton Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Stroman can be a #3 or 4. But if this is the Yankees big starting rotation acquisition this offseason then its going to be another losing season. And reports are saying they lowballed Blake Snell. He asked for more/denied their offer and they pivoted back to Stroman. This franchise, man. Hal offers 300 mill for Yamamoto but wouldnt increase it to 325 to match the Dodgers/Mets? Why is that? He's not willing to spend the extra dollars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it and let's start a new dynasty. Could you imagine Rodon being the # 3 guy, Stroman being the # 4 and Nestor the # 5? That would be great. I still want another closer though. But with that rotation they would be eating up innings, especially if Rodon rebounds. I like the Stroman deal. He wants to be here.

Barton Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Reports from coaches and players say Soto is likely batting 2nd. Man, this team is dumb. He's 1 of the great RBI hitters in the game.

And DJ is not a lead off hitter type. He’s slow and his obp/batting avg numbers keep declining. He’s a 2 hole skill set, even if he was still in his prime. They should get a true lead off hitter in here. Last resort is Verdugo. Soto will be hitting with nobody on base too often, mark my words. This lineup will struggle offensively again unless Rizzo, Stanton and DJ invest in a Time Machine. This team is so poorly constructed it’s not even funny. Cash has no clue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Orioles get Burnes for middling prospects.

Key to the deal for Orioles is they get Brewers competitive balance pick in the 2024 draft, #34. Picks were not their top guys but they have a deep system. Also, Burnes is a FA and has said he won’t sign an extension if traded. Wants to be a FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better hope the Yanks have another big move or 2 before the season because ths current roster is going nowhere.
