Would you like to play a game?



Fitts is the only one of those guys who's on the Yankees Top 30 prospects, and he's at #12

Yeah feels like maybe trying to bulk up depth to flip to SD for Soto without giving up King?

High contact lefty who plays a passable COF. I get it.

Also this makes the Gleyber for him rumors look even dumber in hindsight.

Part of me is surprised given what a breakout he had in 2023 but then I remember Wesneski and Waldichuk.

Yeah this is a fine one . The Yankees need lefty OF's. Multiples of them. And this is one with a 100OPS+. This is literally what I was asking for this offseason' incremental improvements in the trade market and free agency.

Lee is a CF target, it shouldn't be an exclusive decision.

But also yeah I'm into signing a lefty with a 60+ hit tool.

I was OK with a proposed Gleyber for Vergudo trade and they got him for pretty much a middle RP. I think he was out of favor with Cora and benched later in the year last year so they kinda wanted to dump him.

career OPS+ of 84 still basically a 20% improvement over the guy who started like 70% of our games last year and he is only going to be our backup so.... yay I guess

It is very funny how whiney all the baseball writers are about this. By all accounts he's probably going to decide like this week. In the end it won't have dragged out particularly long. But right now they're all sitting in the same weird hotel resort with nothing to say and they are absolutely melting down about it.
