Which would you have in our bp-Chapman and Britton.-- or King, Marinaccio, and Kahle? Me?-I'll take that second group.
Addition by subtraction. Now if we can just add (a LH LF) by subtracting Hicks and JD.

I have a question for the admins about language. In a previous post, I believe the Doctor used the word twat, which is slang for a woman's vagina. But it wasn't blacked out.
I used the b word in my last post, which is in the dictionary as a female dog and it was censored.
Surely, the t word is much more offensive than the b word?

bro, they have some weird, weird filters around here... twat is completely acceptable but ***** isn't.. why? no clue

Taillon signs with Cubs, 4 yrs, 68m.

Good

A sane take. Thank you. They were not one Judge swing away from winning.

I don't even think they were another star away from winning. I think there were too many players who put up non-competitive ABs consistently. The lineup needs an overhaul IMO and needs a new identity and much more balance.

Do you not know why we weren’t in on Turner, or any other middle
Infielder the last 2 years?

exact same reason they aren't this yr. Volpe, Peraza, Cabrera, Sweeney, Arias, Vargas, Cerna, Delgado and Perez are all MINF prospect with elite ceilings that they have invested an *** load of money on.

Probably because they didn't fit the Yankees preferred style of a player. Most infielders that have been available were young and only getting better. The Yankees prefer over 30 sluggers who are expensive and towards the end of their prime.

Exactly. If one or two of them pan out, we are set

It is insane to avoid signing a star MLB player because you have a couple Dominican kids who haven't even come stateside yet. There is a better chance that Arias, Vargas, Cerna, Delgado, and Perez all flame out than even just one of them becoming a star.

As for Volpe and Peraza, once again, there is a decent chance at least one of them doesn't amount to much. If they both turn into stars, great! There would've been room for both and a top free agent infielder.

2B isn’t a need right now. And Peraza can 100% field the position, and looks like he can hit too. It would be foolish to block him

Who is blocking them? Torres looks like trade bait. That leaves opening at 3B, SS, and 2B. There is room for Peraza, Volpe, and another top INF.

Until he’s traded, he is

And regardless what we want/think, we need some cheaper players

You would have paid that much for Turner? I like him, but I’m sorry, that’s a LOT

Donaldson will probably start at 3rd(DJ if Donaldson is traded)
I can't field at SS
Torres at 2B(DJ if Torres is traded)

At least that's what I expect out of this organization.

Yanks are really trying to move some money right now for Rodon.. Rodon's wife family is from Baltimore and they love the idea of him being a Yankee. She wanted him to sign here last yr. I'm told she's a lot of fun to interact with on twitter/IG, she loves to troll the other teams with the fans.

Yankee think he has the mental fortitude to excel pitching in NYC. Rumored offer 6yrs 170-190.

Hicks is likely to be moved first. Colorado and Washington both are interested in him and are in discussing possible deals
