I believe if not when breaking camp, then at some point both Baty/Vientos will be called up since they will be very cheap and I wouldn't count out Mauricio as an addition after the All Star Break if he isn't including in a trade. The kid is very talented.
TK seems extremely concerned about the health of our recent additions, lol. Could it be it's a tough transition from being a fan of "The Varsity" to being a fan of "The Little Sisters of the Poor"? There's a new sheriff in town buddy.👍While Correa missed time early in his MLB career with a back injury, multiple league sources said the Giants had concerns about an ankle injury he suffered while in the minor leagues. In 2014, when he was a 19-year-old prospect with the Houston Astros, Correa injured his leg on a slide into third base in a High-A game. The Astros later announced that he underwent surgery on a fractured right fibula and a ligament.
Why Giants backed away from Correa agreement after physical
In the first comment by a team official since the Carlos Correa deal fell through, Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi acknowledges there was a disagreement over the star shortstop's physical.www.nbcsports.com
the thing is- most of the big deals for FA's come with a health concern- We lost deGrom- and he has a health concern and we got Verlander- also health/Age- Nimmo, has a health concern, Correa, same, Judge- health concern, Rodon, health concern
I thought one of the job of a moderator was to prevent false information from getting on these boards, not propagate it. Why would you put this out there, when everyone else was reporting that it was an ankle injury from his time in the minors?
Is it that big of deal?TK2 does usually troll but there is also a good chance he did hear this on the FAN. Which then makes it fair to bring up. So, we all discuss it and move along. A moderator is not going to care if someone shares they heard something on the Fan...
Because he's trying to deflect after the Yanks guaranteed an older injury prone player $360MM?
Hear it was bruised spleen. Happened after spending the night at Piazzas house
I recognize that this thread has been inundated with disgruntled, self-entitled, imbecilic Yankees’ fans. I also recognize that the internet is a cesspool of misinformation coming from individuals, who if I met in person, I would probably avoid.
No one really paid attention to their press conference yesterday. It was fun watching MLB tonight discuss the Mets and end the show with, “and there’s some news coming out of the Bronx.” 🤣
How come no one says a word when the Dodgers, Padres, Yankees spend like this but it’s a federal crime when the Mets are doing it?
To be fair- up until Correa, that would not have been true. We were also going to have to either sign deGrom or get someone like Verlander- we had to fill out a pitching staff and had to get a CF.

$9 isn't all that bad in NYC, typical slice goes for like $4-6 these days in Manhattan lol
And at the Rodon presser Boras held court w NY reporters talking Correa
Yeah especially the Yankees have been doing this for decades now. The number has just inflated with the contacts.
Excellent points. Listening to WFAN yesterday so many callers were crying either about what the Mets have done or what the other team in the area hasn't done. I just don't mean player signings, but dumping players they should. Of course spring training is a long time away but one thing we already know, if the Mets end up with another Cano, Uncle Stevie will jettison him out. Does Hal have that in him to dump, Hicks,Donaldson and eat those contracts? There's a new sheriff in town
I believe it's called "backdoor crying". 😭 Your saying everything other than your upset and jealous. You see the writing on the wall. Love to know your reaction waking up to the Correa signing. Taking that morning pee must have hurt like passing a stone.
Thought this was THE YANKEE WAY?
THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM IN MLB. At least Tampa Bay works their asses off to have one of the best farm systems in baseball to replace the players that become too expensive. And almost every year, at least they try to improve their team for the playoffs with deadline deals. Pittsburgh, Oakland, others do NOTHING.Cohen will end up being a hero to the MLBPA. The Correa signing has turned the spotlight on teams like Oakland and Pittsburgh.

Conforto had a couple of years with injuries that were "bad" but if he is healthy- he is well into the upper levels of players. The contract is surprising for the amount- but only because of health, not that he is a bad baseball player- lifetime .824 ops and above average fielder. A Rizzo hasn't even hit that ops over that for 3 years. What is he making???
He is not an upper level player. Lifetime 250 hitter with ok power. Only played 150+ games in a season twice in 7 years, 8 if you count sitting out last year.
I'd take Conforto over Hicks and Donaldson in a heartbeat
Didn't bother you during the Yankees run when they got in front of cable sports,turned huge profits,signed big players to big contracts did it? Were you worried about all the other MLB fans? Of course not and you know it. This flip of back page news going to the Mets will take some getting used to I can see lol.
2017-2021 so including his bad year. 28th in all of baseball with 16.3 fWAR. 34th in wRC+ at 127 where 100 is average. I'd say a top 30-35 player/hitter is in the upper level.
