Gary Sanchez, the job is yours, you only have to claim it. You were the best hitter on the team at one time, work your butt off and prove it. I’ve believed in you since you were 16. And so do a lot of others. Let us see what you got sobrino, Tío Reggie
Unless he can pitch it won’t make much difference how well he can hit . Especially since he is not a good catcher . So sad how a legend could be so blinded by hrs to see that Sanchez is not deserving to be the Yankees every day catcher .Quote:

Who else do the Yankees have to headline this deal other than Dominguez?Quote:

Not sure why a Castillo trade to the Yankees is even being discussed , it’s not like it will ever happen .Quote:

True.Quote:

Padres are making the Yanks look like they don't care about getting better. The sad part is that even if the Yankees sign DJ, they didn't get better. They stayed the same and that wasn't good enough to win last year or the year before or etc...
I do agree with OhSoslick about Snell. I think he's better than a 5 but I don't think he has a repeat of last year and I think the Jays sold high on him.
Are we going to see the Yankees turn into the east coast, rich version of the A's? A team driven by metrics, who cuts costs, fields a team good enough to make the playoffs but never doing what's needed to get that team over the top?
Oh. Wait.
There is still time to make moves but I think SD has set the ball in motion. I hope this starts the dominoes.
If the Yankees want to actually improve, they need DJ and another good player.
My fear with the Yankees is that they are crying poor now? What happens when they are stuck with Stanton's contract and other guys start to become eligible for really contracts?
This team will get old and slow, fast. Then when the guys like Dominguez, Medina, Peraza... make it, they will be surrounded and hindered by contracts of old, underperforming, injury prone players
Cashman needs to make some very good moves to prevent this team from wasting another round of high level talent.
Great post Clown, couldn't agree more 👏👍
I can see why the yanks didn’t go after darvish , he is 34 and signed until he is 36 . And he is owed almost 60 mill over the next 3 seasons . What is frustrating me is that cashman is sitting on his hands and doing nothing to hike other teams are taking advantage of the fire sales teams are having .Quote:

My singular intent, why would it cost the Yankees so much more for arguably a less accomplished arm? Why is it the Yankees are always held hostage? Miggy may not be a headliner, but Dominguez is over kill imo.
After what the Padres gave tor darvish and snell , I don’t see why the yanks would have to give up Dominguez for Castillo . Garcia plus maybe Schmidt and a couple prospects should be enough .
Doc, I agree with u but as Passan and Bowden reported the Padres first choices were Castillo and or Gray. The asking price was apparently prohibitive to the point they moved on. I believe they wanted Gore or Abrams as the center piece for either, both are considered top 10 overall specs.
Teams always expect the Yanks to overpay in trades, it sucks but it's what is expected when teams deal with us. I agree about Dominguez but I don't think Miggy as the center piece gets Castillo. Imo It would take Frazier and 1 of Garcia or Schmidt as the center pieces and some lower level specs
So what should we conclude? The Rays (one of the craftiest deal makers in the MLB) F'ed up?Quote:

:faint::speechless: We agree!Quote:
