Carrasco is not worth the gamble , the yanks would be stuck with him until he is 37 . With lindor they would adding about 40 mill to their payroll , probably more and it doesn’t make much senseQuote:

How is that win win ? Being stuck with an aging pitcher until he is 37 paying him 14 mi at the last year of his contract . It won’t reduce the cost at all since the Indians will want good cheap pitching in return like Garcia or Schmidt . It would be foolish to trade for CarrascoQuote:

Yeah that was because he was under 30 and hadn’t battled cancer yet . Dude is not gonna be the pitcher he was 2 years ago .Quote:

Check his stats. His last 6 starts were solid.Quote:

I don’t think it will discount lindor much since first like you said 12 mill is not a lot of money and second , Cleveland will want a good young starter in return for him . Like Schmidt or Garcia .Quote:

The hit doctor is in.
New York Yankees hitting coach Marcus Thames says he knows what was wrong with catcher Gary Sanchez, who hit a career-low .147 in 2020. Per the New York Post:
“He felt like 2020 was a disaster for him. He knows it. ... We watched a lot of video and he wasn’t slowing the game down with his lower half. He wasn’t staying behind the ball and he wasn’t recognizing pitches, so he was swinging at a lot of bad pitches, and swinging and missing. He normally doesn’t do that. We detected some things and I think he’s back.”

Getting Gary back to his early career numbers would be phenomenal and a huge win for the team.Quote:

But, I'll reserve judgement until I see him actually preforming at the level he's actually capable of.

Not sure I buy that , if that’s true why didn’t they spot it months ago during the season ? And it doesn’t explain why he was bad in 2019 as well . Either way it still doesn’t address his sub par defense .Quote:

Carrasco/Lindor is a mute point. Yankees are only $30 mil below cap. Assuming they close on DJ, they won't have the budget left to buy anyone specific. So any conversations regarding Carrasco, Darvish, etc. are wasted breath.Quote:
