agreed, what was the point of paying Cole 36m a yr if were going to basically just throw away one of his likely best yrs by not having a team thats capable of winning the WS? They absolutely have to make moves that continue to keep that window open. IMO, getting Lindor puts us in a better position to compete for a WS for the next handful of yrs. Lots of other things need to fall into place but i feel Lindor would be an amazing start.Quote:

Baez is a solid player but he's another RHed, high k%, all or nothing type hitter and only being slightly above average, atleast that i can remember, defensively. I really don't think he's a fit and would rather give Torres a longer look and invest that money else where
Correa is incredibly talented but he would be coming from Houston where he was one of the ring leaders in the cheating scandal, i highly doubt the fan base would except him. He also is like Judge, incredibly talented, not Arod talented but still elite SS, but only averages 110 games a yr. The last thing we need is another extremely talented player that we can't count on to be healthy when we need him most. Not a player i'd spend 200m plus on.
Story is a great player and has very similar stats to Lindor. He does have a high k %, around 25% but he hits for alot of power. He's RHed so it doesn't help us get more balanced at the plate but he would definately be worth the investment. He is i believe older than Lindor, i think he will already be 29 when he becomes a FA
I've already shared my thought on Lindor.
So IMO there are really only 2 SS the Yanks would realistically go after. I see Lindor as such a special talent that it would be worth us to pay the heavily discounted price this yr to give us an advantage in resigning him. If we don't have to deal any players from the starting lineup and it doesn't include Dominguez, who they would never trade, IMO it would be worth it . It would absolutely suck to see him playing for the Dodger, Jays or Mets for the next 10 plus yrs
What does that have to do with what metswon and I think is currently bad or good asset management ? What does that have to do with the fact that the yanks not managing their assests well , has put them in one of their longest ws droughts in team history ? Are those 27 championships supposed to make me forget about all that ? Or forget that their current window is gonna be closed in 2 years ?Quote:

No just a reminder when you are trashing them and suggesting the Mets may have a better team and season. No team in MLB history compares to the Yankees winning tradition.Quote:

I don't agree German should be moved to pen. Last season he led the AL in win %. If German and Sevy are contributors I think DJ and/or Lindor make for a better team. Bauer is great, if cost is no object I would love to have him, but is he that much better than a Sevy / German combo?Quote:

Because I clearly said “AS OF RIGHT NOW” and things will change a lot before next season starts . Let’s see what the yanks and mets look like at the start of the season , then maybe we could discuss this againQuote:

Five minutes ago you felt confident enough to predict Mets would get to WS before Yanks. In addition they have a better line up and rotation.

I am not dancing around anything . Everyone knows it would be foolish to make such a bet before the off season is over since again I said. “AS OF NOW” .
or mine. You consistently spout out non sense that u are so confident you are right about it. Man up it and prove it one way or another. Prove to the rest of us you can be more than a whiny child who doesn't take accountability for what they say and instead chooses to play the victim and move the goal postsQuote:
