Who's gonna want him? They aren't gonna just dump him and eat salary. At that point, throw him on the bench and let him earn his money playing 30 games a year.

Can't imagine he has much value. I doubt someone that scrounges for retreads like the Twins would even take him.
Mgmt might just wait and see what things look like at the trade deadline and stand pat for now?
The Yanks will have to cover most of his salary. I would try to dump him now. Addition by subtraction!
He had the good Covid season, but was too much strike out/double play guy.
Not sure they got someone that ever plays at the major league level.
Correa to the Twins surprises me, but from a competition standpoint, helps that he's going to a team that will be a 500 team, at best. And it weakens the Astros.
+1
We didn't need Correa with the 2 kids almost ready for the big team. We also need to pay Judge soon.
I'm having a hard time getting excited about this team. There are too many strikeouts in the lineup, too many players whose best position is DH, questions about the starting pitchers, and who is the everyday CF?
Sanchez - 27.5%
Urshela - 24.7%
Voit 30.7%
Donaldson 21.0%
Kiner-Falefa 13.3%
Rizzo - 15.1%
That's the amount of time each player struck out last year according to Fan Graphs. So if the trends stay similar, you should be seeing much less strikeouts. 'm not putting the defensive catcher in since he's a backup.
This move was done to shore up the defense up the middle and to dump Sanchez to give flexibility to the DH spot again. Also, DJ gets to be the roving infielder he was originally supposed to be. The re-signing of Rizzo also gets rid the glove butcher at first base.
I would imagine Cash is finally responding to the lack of success of his old method of team building a bit. Ledger said the complacency in the locker room was significant last year and changes needed to be made. Even the star players agreed with this.

Well technically this is all analytics isn't it? But yes, he needs to start using common sense and not have a lineup filled with only righty home run hitters who strike out 30 percent of the time and catch the ball like Dorn in Major League.

No need spending big money on a SS. Volpe is coming very soon. Look for a mid-season call up:

Yankees passed on Carlos Correa and now Trevor Story, too. Get ready to say hello to Anthony Volpe | Klapisch
Barring a sharp drop in Trevor Story's asking price, the Yankees are going full steam ahead on their plans to promote prospect Anthony Volpe by 2023, if not sooner.
He also has the typical Coors Field vs visitor park split in offensive production. Hell no on Story.

I thought it would be stupid for the Yankees to focus on spending big bucks on a free agent shortstop when they have two of the top prospects in baseball at that position...soon to be big league ready. Especially since George's kids don't look to be as free-spending as their dad was.
Sounds like common sense to let the letter hit the public and let them decide. If they cheated, they deserve whatever comes to them.Appeals court rules letter that allegedly shows MLB hid Yankees’ sign stealing should be unsealed

They surely tried to cheat after 2017 when MLB decided to do nothing about the overt cheating of Houston. Then Boston cheated big time to win in 2018. When in Rome!
I agree. Selective enforcement is stupid and only makes the MLB leaders look weak.
The biggest hypocrisy is that the MLB leadership loved steroids because of the offensive explosion and how it saved baseball but won't just come out and admit. Instead they'll reap the cash and then make a stand on some issue that's irrelevant or after the fact.
+1
Selective enforcement or no enforcement means it's fair game for everyone. No issues here.
They should have a wing for Selig, Bonds, Sosa, McGuire, Arod, Clemens, Etc and how they saved baseball
I'm so glad this douchebag is not on the team anymore. https://www.nj.com/yankees/2022/03/...he-didnt-tell-yankees-about-major-injury.html
Too early to worry about Severino.
Also, I don't know what people saw that made them think that Higgy was anything but Cole's personal catcher.
I hope we're not being set up to regret the day the Yanks "traded" Sanchez.

I agree. I'm just busting your chops.
We definitely need a catcher upgrade. I think we'll get one in April after final cuts are made.
Not the same since the injury. Hopefully he can turn it around. We have youth pitching depth but I would prefer to get a proven starter sometime soon.

Not to be a buzz kill but WTF with your SP's? I do think you have a playoff team except that your starters seem to be a complete mess.
And I know that ST isn't the season but the eye test is saying there seems to be something off with each of them.
Outside of that
1B is improved 2B is the right guy
SS is improved- see above
3B is improved but he needs to be healthy
OF- is kind of a mess outside of Judge
DH- love him or hate him Stanton is going to give you 35/100
C - we just dont know
RP- also a question
Better not be the next Drew Henson or Eric Duncan…No need spending big money on a SS. Volpe is coming very soon. Look for a mid-season call up:
