Day, seems now that DJ is done things may heat up. I completely agree with your above scenario. Lindor, Carrasco and Hand would have been a hellva off season.

Kluber scares me a bit, more than...

:hi5:

Yates....buy low candidate hoping to increase value. Perfect Cashman catch. Is he healthy? Wicked stuff when right.

Hand ...also an intriguing choice. LHer. He is coming of a stellar 2020 season...

Good point. The more back loaded the better.

Another guy gambling on himself.

Money is good. Term...meh. I agree this has 1B written all over it.

Agree. Headliner in a package. Would love to be a fly in the Yankees war room.

Is Frazier packing as we speak?

Hmmm is the handwriting on the wall?

The bat they lose would be DJ, in clowns scenario.

^^This. They lose a solid contact bat and situational hitter but gain a versatile glove with a decent bat and some power.

:facepalm: I give up.

Is that what he said Jorge? I quote: " I would caution that none of these guys are expendable." ".... thus depth carries tremendous importance." " I would way rather they sign Bauer and not trade...

Only if they don't sign DJ. Which made more sense in the Lindor / Carrasco deal.

If you agree DJ is a priority, where is the payroll flexibility to add $20M+.

Top shelf pitching is cheap?

I wanted them to at least explore the Lindor / Carrasco deal. It would have added $30M+ to the payroll. A Castillo deal, Kluber, Hendricks, Bauer will all cost,...

Jorge, I couldn't care less if they replace Cashman. Maybe a fresh set of eyes would help.

My only point, if Hal is holding the line on payroll you can not expect miracles from a GM. You want...

Jorge how would a new GM make a difference? If Hal is holding the line at $210M, how do you spend big AND escape the shackles of restraint Hal has imposed? No team has paid more in luxury tax...

^^ Good point.

Hendricks makes sense. He’s under contract until the end of 2023, at a $13.9 million AAV hit. Since the start of 2018, he’s been a top 20 pitcher in baseball, a step below the true elite like Cole,...

Maybe he can pitch? :D

Absolutely absurd.

You want BIG trades. Who must sign off on the BIG trades? Cashman does not have as much autonomy as you think. He answers to his boss, Hal. All deals must go before Hal and the advisory board.

Imo there is enough blame to go around. I will restrict my comments to more recent history.

Hal should be praised for always managing to keep the Yankees payroll at or near the top in MLB. Always...

I second that emotion. :clap:

Although shouldn't be a surprise or news to anyone, I've said similar more than once. I would love to know and understand his motivation for spending all day, every...
