OT: New York Yankees 2020 season
- Thread starter c10j10s
- Start date
That's the kind of trade the Boss would have made in a heartbeat, but I wouldn't either. Blackmon is an amazing hitter but he's an outfielder. We have too many already. Also he's 34, makes $19mm and has a player option for 22 and 23. The payroll is already out of control. Plus, the Yanks would then have a hole at third. As much as I love Blackmon's bat, I don't really think the trade would be a very good fit from an area of need perspective.
Understood and knew someone would point the age. But in the true context of what my point had been in the other thread, is that There wouldnt have been many Yankees over the past 30 years not named Jeter or Mo that you wouldn't trade for Blackman. It was meant in context as a player and career.
Point being...if Blackman had been a Yankee from day 1 of his career. He would be seen completely different then by playing in Colorado his whole career.

What kind of drills and conditioning should they have been doing in the down time in April/May? It'sMLB, for Chrissake. Paxton needs to stop making excuses and get in shape.
Too much weightroom?
Yankees' Torres out 2-3 weeks, Paxton at least 14 days
Yankees star shortstop Gleyber Torres is expected to miss two to three weeks while recovering from strains in his hamstring and quad and pitcher James Paxton won’t throw for 14 days because of a strained left forearm.

Not sure if there is a thing as "too much weight room" maybe not training correctly in the weightroom but more likely, MLB players push their bodies past the point where they should be.
Andujar on the trading block. One reporter thinks he needs a change on scenary. I have to agree.

Yankees’ Miguel Andujar won’t pan out as backup, scout predicts | ‘A change of scenery might be good’
Yankees third baseman/left fielder Miguel Andujar was optioned to the Triple-A camp on Thursday with two hits in 21 at-bats over eight games.
Tanaka's also a free agent at the end of the season.
Not knowing what to expect from Severino and German next year and not wanting another year of Happ, can the Yankees really consider letting Paxton walk ?
Well it's not letting "him walk". Paxton has the control where he wants to play. I don't think he's enjoyed his time in NYC. He is one of many that can't handle being a Yankee.
I think that's why Tanaka will re-sign in NY. He likes it here and can work out a 3-4 year deal that works for everyone.
Should the Yankee explore a Lindor/Clevinger deal to fill the SS/P void?
Not sure how any team runs a gauntlet like that without seriously over-working the bullpen.
Between Paxton and Happ... it looks like two guys throwing batting practice. Paxton certainly has been less than advertised. The staff looks good for next season with German and Severino back at full strength. But, that's obviously a BIG if.
Just heard that every single remaining Yankee game will be on YES. Good news for me!
Today it looked like the Yankees bats were boycotting the double header.
Has any team ever played so many guys hitting under .200 ?

Cybernetics lost this game. No reason to take out Tanaka. 66 pitches ugh!
I said that when it happened.
Although in fairness Green had been lights out this "season"
I was actually expecting Chapman to blow it in the 9th....er...er 7th.
It'd be interesting to see what he could bring back. A very strong hitter but might only be a DH going forward, would be good for the Yankees if the NL keeps the DH it increases his potential market.Andujar on the trading block. One reporter thinks he needs a change on scenary. I have to agree.

Andujar is so limited, defensively, and he needs a hot streak because now he can't have much value.
It looks to me like you spend the next three weeks getting healthy and hope for a hot streak as get to the playoffs.
Clevinger bidding will be pretty high, imo.
Game One lineup for Yanks has
Gardner batting 3rd, Sanchez 4th, Ford 5th, Andujar 6th, and Wade 8th.
Yikes.
Two inning-ending strikeouts leaving a combined 5 men on base, but it was Greenie that blew this game
