OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Getting the Mickey Rivers vibe with Jaz.
Won't know for sure unless he can get on base, tho.
Big contribution tonight from Rodon. And series win in Fenway.
On to Philly.
There’s no denying Rodon has excellent stuff.
He’s a pitcher opposing lineups know before the game, if he’s making his pitches it won’t be fun.
Used to love watching MR walking up to the plate- like he didn’t have a care in the world and then the flames came out the back of his cleats…lol
Chisholm playing 3B tonight. Stanton back at DH. Jones DFA. Davis DFA yesterday
Not sure who flipped the switch since Friday, but me likey!
The Yankees got their MOJO back!!! The energy/swagger is back, you can feel it. What a great start for Chisolm, a home run and great play at 3rd base where he has never played before. Chisolm is another high energy/swagger type of guy. If Cashman can get help with pitching and Judge/Soto keep bashing , its going to be fun again.
Judge is friggin amazing. Batting .315 with 39 hrs. and 99 rbis. In July.
This team may be out of its slump. That was a damn good starter they beat.
BTW, anyone think there's any chance the Yankees resign Verdugo or Torres ?
And DJ needs to go.

Torres is a free agent and will be gone, DJ will have 2 yrs left after this season at $15,000,000 a year. He is untradeable and too expensive to release, we have to pray he gets his hitting groove back. Verdugo is finally getting out of his slump, I hope they resign him. Judge is having one of the best years in baseball. He crushed Boston and today the Phillies against a good pitcher in Wheeler.
DJ aged quickly. Time for him to retire. He isn't even a Triple AAA player anymore.
Torres - Gone
DJ - Yank don't like to eat that kind of money so probably stays
Verdugo - Only comes back if Soto goes elsewhere.
Torres should have been gone a long time ago. Cover most of DJ's salary and dump him with another team.
No other team would want DJ. And they have to pay him for the next two years anyway. That money is already gone. Why not cut him and fill the roster spot with someone who might contribute something positive to the team ?
Still no "swing and miss" closer acquired!
None of the other stuff means much without that guy.

Jack Neely is a hard-throwing relief pitcher who I was expecting the Yankees to call up by no later than September.
Sad to see him go.
Jack Flaherty to the Dodgers. He's the one I was hoping the Yankees would get
Cashman screwed another trade deadline away.
This is a team with "eliminated in first round of WC" written all over it.
You can win in the playoffs with 3 good starters and an above average bullpen.
NYY has neither.
Really pissed.

And? All I did was report news without any comment. It wasn't posted yet and I've done in it here in the past without commentary.
They were never going to grab a big fish unless they traded someone away with it. They will not surpass that final luxury tax threshold and they are very close. Nibbling around the edges was all I expected and that's what they did. I don't think they did that poorly with what they got and thank god they got rid of Ferguson.
I doubt it's enough unless they go on a heater from September through October.

Would you voluntarily give up 30 million dollars, he should retire but has 30 million reasons not to. How could a 2 time batting champion fall off a cliff.
Quality breaking ball with a man on third Clay..
Jeez
3 feet short

Cashman thinks he's already got his post season closer!!!!!
I disagree.
And LaMahieu...runner on 3rd, one out...LOL. DFA him immediately and eat the contract.
He's a net negative the minute he leaves the dugout.
Does LaMahieu have a sex tape of Boone that he's playing?

Sure they are losing games because he sucks. Bad contract. Sometimes you have to eat them.
Are you saying he has to play because he has a big contract?? Is your real name Hal Steinbrenner?
His 8th blown save. 8th. Think about that for a moment.
