Best explanation I've heard thus far. So Cashman got scammed by his protege Ng? Cashman is many things, arrogant, impulsive at times, egotistical at times but I can't say he's stupid. Is it possible...

You're right. Nick ain't that mellow! :D 4:30 am he's on his second pot of rocket fuel washing down a handful of Adderall. Meth for lunch?

This is what I don't get. They had Florial in house, assuming he was ready, why trade Monty? Do they not trust giving Florial the job full time? Losing Monty for an OFer (as good as he is), that...

With the acquisition of Bader where does that leave Florial? Is he in the plans for the future or is he now expendable? I wonder why they went after Bader with Florial so close? Is Hicks the 4th or...

Fangraphs has him listed as a 0 DRS, 0.3 UZR, 10.1 UZR150 in 95.2 innings from 2020-22 at the ML level. My guess is they don't keep comprehensive defensive stats on the minor leagues.

If we are honest with ourselves we must concede Bader is one of the best defensive center fielders in the game (plus-38 DRS in center in his career) and a constant threat to steal on the bases,...

I have to agree with much of the preceding comments re: Bader. A 4th OF on the IL that MAY be back in Sept. for a stalwart in the rotation. Makes sense. :rolleyes: I think Cash is spending way too...

My thought as I was reading the preceding paragraphs.

I think Nicky raises a valid point. His BB rate is higher now than earlier in season. Seems to be a command issue. Imo Holmes closing was always a temporary situ giving Chapman time to find his...

Volpe and Peraza are the only two Yankees farmhands who appeared on Baseball America’s most recent ranking of the league’s top 100 prospects. Dominguez checks in fifth in the New York system, per BA....

Can we all agree now that Gallo is gone, he wasn't the problem with the offense? :D

Holmes has **** the bed it seems, although can't deny he was lights out for a long stretch. As Chapman regains form maybe they make the move.

There is a cure.....get Stanton back and Rizzo at 100%. Judge needs some protection. BP needs to improve.

I do agree, hard to watch lately.

I don't think German is getting the credit he deserves. Another very good start . 6IP , 1 ER, 4K's

KB, appreciate all your contributions. They are invaluable. I feel certain the entire forum shares my thought.

However if you don't want it getting out don't post it here, far too many lurkers and...

Day you are being far too generous. Montas is a career 3.81 ERA. This season in 20 starts he's at 3.59. I agree he deserves the benefit of doubt. I am just annoyed with what they gave up. Imo they...

Better than Montas, that's a very low bar Day. He claimed future ace, I hope it's true. However with limited or no ML experience how can the claim be made or substantiated? Based on what? AAA stats?...

Give up?

Babe Ruth as a Red Sox.

No disrespect intended, but how do you know this to be true? I am not thrilled with the deal and I have serious questions about Montas....but Waldi and Sears have/had limited AAA experience and NO ML...

Promise?

Hint: He later became a Yankee.
