Why not? He sucked at 3rd.
I’m thinking Andujar’s best position might be third base.....for the Mets.So he’ll be better at 1st? They’re not gunna have him learn a new position in an offseason where he’s coming off shoulder surgery. He’ll probably barely play 3rd also. He’ll mostly be a DH.
He couldn't throw before he tore his labrum. It's not gonna be better now. He's a 1b or DH.So he’ll be better at 1st? They’re not gunna have him learn a new position in an offseason where he’s coming off shoulder surgery. He’ll probably barely play 3rd. He’ll mostly be a DH.
Please fill me in I must have missedNot surprised Yanks let go of Didi. Very surprised J.D. doesn't opt out and stays with Red Sox.
HEY watch your mouth, what did he ever do to you.I’m thinking Andujar’s best position might be third base.....for the Mets.
Like Stanton?I don't think Cashman is that stupid to bring on players they don't need just to keep him from rival teams. That is a loser mentality. Weaken your team to prevent a rival getting him.
I think they mean that Didi wasn't given a qualifying offer. I think. Maybe.Please fill me in I must have missed
Something. Let go?
He wasn't offered a qualified contract at the deadline. Which immediately makes him a free agent.Please fill me in I must have missed

thanksI think they mean that Didi wasn't given a qualifying offer. I think. Maybe.
If he hadn't gotten hurt, he would probably still be a Yankee with a longterm deal. Now they can just wait out the market and see if they want to bring him back.
Stanton wasn't brought in to keep him from going to a rival team. The Yankees and Dodgers were the only teams he was willing to be traded to. He wasn't going to any other AL team let alone a rival.Like Stanton?

Didi's defense is starting to suffer, imo, and his $$$ needs to go towards starting pitching.
But with him gone, it magnifies the need to get a HR bat from the left side to play 1B or LF. My preference would be Josh Donaldsen or Moustakos. They're not natural 1B, but if you can play 3B, you can play 1B. The NYY lineup is just way too heavy with RH bats.
If they don't get Cole/Strasburg/MadBum... Odorizzi/Wheeler might be options.
Well, shit. I thought he was a Switch hitter.:Unhappy:Donaldson is a righty
Donaldson is a righty. Moustakas is interesting if they plan on playing Stanton a lot in LF.
Then you trade for Votto/Hosmer? Unless they think Ford is a viable option.
Stanton is a defensive liabilty, just put Taughman/BG out there.
Never nor should there ever be. He has bad foot work playing left. He would be horrible at 1stHas there ever been talk about moving Stanton to first?
Still think NYY needs a LH bat at 1B. It might be risky, but a change of scenery for Chris Davis might be in the cards if they could get the Orioles to pay half the remaining contract. He's relatively young enough.Stanton is a fine fielder as long as he’s healthy. Obviously that was a big question with him this year though. Hosmer isn’t going anywhere he has a huge contract with San Diego. Votto was someone I was always interested in but I think he’s started to decline too much at this point in his career to be worth it.
Edit: Yea I just checked Votto’s contract. He’s owed $25 mill per year through 2023. That’s an un-moveable contract at this point.
WTF!?!?!?!?!?!? Chris Davis?Still think NYY needs a LH bat at 1B. It might be risky, but a change of scenery for Chris Davis might be in the cards if they could get the Orioles to pay half the remaining contract. He's relatively young enough.
Trying to be creative here. As long as Didi isn't coming back, the lineup needs at least one, preferably two, LH power bats. This lineup has way too many RH hitters imo.WTF!?!?!?!?!?!? Chris Davis?
You still have Greg Bird.Didi's defense is starting to suffer, imo, and his $$$ needs to go towards starting pitching.

If they don't get Cole/Strasburg/MadBum... Odorizzi/Wheeler might be options. Ryu probably stays on the West Coast.
Yep... for a month before he goes on the IL again.You still have Greg Bird.
I don't vontVotto based on 2019...He was a step above Chris Davis.
Votto and Davis are candidates for "comeback POY". If you can get their teams to pick up 50% of the salary... why not? Low risk.I don't vontVotto based on 2019...He was a step above Chris Davis.
Votto is done as a star player.Stanton is a fine fielder as long as he’s healthy. Obviously that was a big question with him this year though.

Wow, they released Ellsbury? So they're going to have to eat the full $21mm due him next year plus $5mm the next for his buyout. I guess Cash finally bowed to the reality that he was never going to be able to be traded to recoup even a fraction of that money, or they really, really needed the extra 40-man spot. Bird DFA not too surprising after all the injuries.Good moves. 40-man roster deadline is tonight:
The Yankees have released outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and designated first baseman Greg Bird for assignment as part of a series of roster moves. The club has also designated left-hander Nestor Cortes and added six players – outfielder Estevan Florial and right-handers Deivi Garcia, Brooks Kriske, Luis Medina, Nick Nelson and Miguel Yajure – to its 40-man roster.
Don't want to waste a spot on the 40 and put a young prospect at risk.Wow, they released Ellsbury? So they're going to have to eat the full $21mm due him next year plus $5mm the next for his buyout. I guess Cash finally bowed to the reality that he was never going to be able to be traded to recoup even a fraction of that money, or they really, really needed the extra 40-man spot. Bird DFA not too surprising after all the injuries.
All I was saying is that if the Yankees get at least half of Votto's contract paid in a trade, it's lower risk. Somewhere... they HAVE TO FIND a power hitting LH first basemen.Votto is done as a star player.

A friend of mine who is a Bosux fan told me we'd regret signing Ellsbury back when he first became a Yankee.Wow, they released Ellsbury?

I get this bad feeling that this will looking like nothing when they have to eat years of Stanton's contract.Wow, they released Ellsbury?

I’m thinking Andujar’s best position might be third base.....for the Mets.
If Stanton stays healthy, he will still be good for a .280 30-40 HR's for the next 3 years at least. Yeah- 180K's and what seems like no big hits, plus handcuffing the Yankees a bit but...he will still put up enough numbers to keep a lot of pitchers honest.I get this bad feeling that this will looking like nothing when they have to eat years of Stanton's contract.
