Conversely, the Yankees don't want drama or negative distraction. They want production. They want as little negative attention as possible. They want zero distractions in the locker room and off the field. They want more reserved personalities (like Cole, Judge, Stanton, Torres etc.).
some promising news on a vaccine today
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcar...ve-pfizer-says .. yanks lost so much money last year that is why the yanks won't do much spending this offseason.. if a vaccine is available in december and by the time the regular season starts maybe fans will be allowed in seats until then the yanks will be misers
it is time for the yanks do get off there high horse attitude it is strange because hal is nowhere like his father he is more open minded...Quote:

Rules, order and clearly defined boundaries are essential. Hal is not nearly as petty as George. What he does understand is protecting the Yankee brand and legacy.Quote:

They didn’t have a problem with cc getting suspended for throwing at oppposing hitters . And these days when he bad mouths cashman for what they did in game 2.. he is a special adviser to cashman or something like that . And look at all the players with questionable ethics that George brought in in the 90s . Like strawberry , gooden, wells , Clemens . And don’t get me started on German and Chapman , two wife beaters that are still on this team .Quote:

The Yankees not wanting drama is a lie and they proved that when they traded for Chapman a few years ago right after he was suspended for hitting his wife . If they don’t get Bauer it is because Hal didn’t want to spend money plain and simpleQuote:

The most difficult issue is see with that plan besides Hal unlikely to spend enough to get that all done, is Judges value. It presents the same problem with trying to resign him. When he's on the field he's an MVP type player but he's only averaging 110 games a yr. If they try to move Judge this off season coming off another injury plagued season they would be selling massively low on him. They need to give him 1 more yr to see if he can stay healthy and perform like he did in 17.Quote:

I do think that is a pretty realistic package for Lindor but i'm not sure Cash or Hal is going to want to give up that kind of package that represents alot of controllable, cheap, high ceiling talent AND have to give him an big extension.
I would be thrilled but extremely shocked if they ended up with both DJ and Lindor
Id also like to see a better bench than that, all 3 of Wade, Talkman and Ford were really bad this yr. In a market when better than league average player are going to struggle to get veteran minimums, you could put together a better bench very cheaply
Very interesting trade rumor. Yanks are said to have exchanged medicals with the Brewers on Sanchez, Andujar, Garcia, Schmidt and Gil and we got Haders medicals.
Brewers are looking for MLB ready bats that aren't expensive so Sanchez and Andujar could make alot of sense for them and then they would get 1 of our better starting pitching specs.
Should be interesting to see if any comes of it, Hader would be a huge addition to the pen.
I want that trade to happen . Do it cashman!Quote:
