I noticed that too. Something to keep an eye on
He is not batting .333, but he is performing very well.
Depends how he finishes the season. If he finishes strong, he will either need to be protected or he's gone. If he finishes weakly, the Yankees will not protect him and I'm not sure any team will...
Yankees signed a UDFA named Rafael Flores out of a college in California. He is 21-years-old. He's 6-foot-4, is a catcher, and hits righty. He hit .380 with 9 homeruns, 12 doubles, 2 triples, and...
Great to see. Hope the Yankees do a nice job with his development. Fun to fantasize about the 2025 lineup with him and a couple of others in it.
Carpenter's fractured foot is a huge blow. 6 weeks bring him back just in time for October though if he heals fast.

The Yankees have revamped their whole system virtually top to bottom in the past 10 years. They have fired just about everyone and hired better choices. If they still can't produce results, the only...
There's still time to trade him. He's already on the 40-man roster so he can't be popped in the rule five draft. They can essentially hold onto him until the beginning of next season if they want to...
I haven't seen any of these reports about a trade being in place or Hicks being involved in any way. Where are any of you seeing any of this?
Do you think the reward with Bader is that high? Do you think he could be better than his stats last year? Or do you think his stats last year are the reward and that reward is worth it?
I agree it makes sense. Cashman has said differently publicly though. There's a chance we never know. There's a chance it all comes out. Either way no point in speculating until we know for sure.
Johnny what would be a better feeling for you?
a. The Yankees win
b. You get to say I told you so to everyone on this forum
Still doesn't make sense. How could anyone with Cashman's experience be so dumb to put through a trade for Montgomery and make it official unless the deal for Lopez was official. If this is true it...

Jordan Montgomery, LHP (3-3, 3.69 ERA)

I think we will have to agree to disagree about Benintendi being average. That's okay. I think he's above average both offensively and defensively, you think he's average. I think there's a ton of...
All I said is he's a much better hitter than IKF. I stand by that.
As for the other stuff, no he's not a world beater. He's not Juan Soto, and IMO Brian Reynolds would have been a better choice....
Justin Lange has been much, much better over the last 6 starts with the exception of one dud. This is very encouraging and his numbers are already much better than last year's, but are rapidly...
I understand why people compare Benintendi to IKF, but Benintendi is a much better hitter. He hits for better average, power, and OBP. His OPS is around .800.
Combining this deadline with the IKF trade, you have to think Cashman is on the hot seat if they don't make the world series this year. If not, I think he retires a Yankee no matter what else he does...
Oswalso or Oswald? To me, either one would be a nice addition over IKF
I agree with all of this as well. I'm not sure if Reynolds was even available... I feel like if he was someone would have traded for him. I was all for going all in this deadline though. I know the...
They definitely need to replenish the depth at the upper levels next year, but it might not be that hard with what they have.
