Sounds like it is neither Lindor, DJ or Tanaka.Quote:

hal did not expect to lose massive amounts of money last year and this year.. he signed cole before the whole covid pandemic came down..Quote:

Hal is going to lose even more money when fans stop renewing their season ticket plans of all kinds after the Yankees likely miss the playoffs this seasonQuote:

This forum would soon be riddled with the complainers bitxhing he can't hit with RISP

I don’t care that they didn’t get lindor . they are stupid because they are letting one guy keep them from doing anything else . That is just inexcusableQuote:

I have an idea for you. Since you don't watch the games, just buy a set of newspapers from 2009. Then each morning, you can read the sports pages and know in the end, the Yankees will win it all.Quote:

A .500 team? seriously ? if they go with just what they have now and don't have any massive injuries they are a 90 win team in the AL. If they get DJ and 1 good starter they are in the top 3 in the AL.Quote:

I hate what Hal and Cashman haven't and aren't doing but lets not act like were going to be a last place team. With the AL getting so much weaker its just more of any excuse for them not to spend yet still be able to say they have a contending caliber team
What is your damned problem ? There are many people here that are angry with the yanks front office right now and showing it . And yet you are singling me out . Here is one suggestion I have for you . Take off the rose colored glasses and the binders and look at the current mlb team that the Yankees have right now and admit the front office screwed up . Even dayners who is usually positive is pissed off and calling the front office for what it is, a bunch of stupid peopleQuote:

By accident of birth location, or by personal choice, you, and millions like you spend time, money, and frayed nerves hoping this team can win it all. Unlike almost every other team, the hope that "this is our year" is realistic, and the reality almost every other team experiences (i.e. half empty stadiums during non pandemic times, and last place finishes is never our reality). We play meaningful baseball right to the end of the season EVERY season.Quote:

It is about the amazing plays we once made that convinced us (foolishly) that we could be good enough to go pro, and for me the watermelon my dad would bring to each game to celebrate our win (or our loss).
I get it. Winning the World Series is exciting and I want to see us get #28 as much as anyone else. I often wish Cashman would do something he didn't. I often wish Cashman didn't do something he did. I really was hoping we could pull off the trade the Mets just did. I admit it, I am jealous. But, we have a truck load of young, eager flamethrowers here and on the way. And one day relatively soon, we may have a Martian patrolling center field. Disagree with what the Yankees do as much as you like. We all do it. That is the point of a discussion forum, but if you are going to complain about everything that doesn't go as you like, and don't enjoy the possibilities of what may be, then I don't know why you bother being a fan. I just don't get it.
I agree. Mets are the better team and its not even close And now its not only starting pitching.Quote:

And, if they add Hand to that bullpen, I think I might have to side with their bullpen as well because they will be able to match up against our backend.
Mets already announced that they are talking extension with Lindor. I'd take him off the Board. He will be a Met for the next 10 years. To me, he was a perfect fit for us. Young, bat to ball, excellent defensive short stop, switch hitting lead off guy.Quote:
