STAC Goat posted:I want to address the problem from a productive angle instead of an angry one. Get younger and more athletic with the kids, improve where you can, re-evaluate your approach. Once again do you have something to offer other than “burn it all down”? I would stay far away from Bellinger. He might be fixed but I'd let the Cubs or whoever find out Yankees should be all over Yamamoto though, they need rotation help.

Boone is really whatever at his job, but he isn't the problem so ultimately it doesn't actually matter if he is there or not. It's really obvious he is just there more or less as a puppet/yes man for the guys upstairs and his only real job is to manage the locker room and go out there and be a human shield for the media

mcmagic posted:I'm not as worked up about that trade as you are. Yeah it was a bad trade but it's WAY down on the list of bad trades they made. I don't believe that they would've made the playoffs this year if they had monty and if they really want to sign him as a FA after the season they could've done that anyway. They missed the playoffs because of the way they hosed up the lineup, not the pitching. It was a very stupid trade, just a different kind of stupid than trading for Montas

If he's gonna hit 240 again then no they have had enough of those guys, especially when he isn't going to be long for playing the outfield This is all rampant speculation anyway, odds are he isn't going anywhere cause why would they just abandon ship on him

live with fruit posted:For as bad as the Betts trade was, the Red Sox still got Verdugo and rid of Price, and the Padres don't have a contract like Price's to dump. If the Padres only get prospects back, they have to go out and replace Soto, which would cut into the savings they're trading their best hitter to get. Verdugo is a JAG and Jeter Downs is awful. The Red Sox absolutely jacked that trade up even with getting rid of Price

All past discussions about trading him have been for a starting pitcher, with Yamamoto out there for only money that's a dumb idea. It's more realistic to get a real outfielder using Schmidt

mcmagic posted:They should be laser focused on the offense. The pitching is good enough. No it isn't actually Cole Rodon (bad, was also injured multiple times) Cortes coming off multiple injuries (again) King (only been a starter in the majors for like two months) Schmidt was OK for his first season Montas and Severino fired into the sun hopefully They need at least one starter Forrest on Fire posted:What positions do they need to fill? Everywhere but RF and 2B? Their OPS numbers are dire Left field for sure since they don't really have one. IKF was playing left field lmao Some kind of at least stop gap CF until Dominguez recovers from TJS Catcher I assume will be Wells going forward After that it depends on if they trade Gleyber or not. If they do I'd assume Peraza or DJLM moves over to 2b. Volpe isn't going anywhere at SS, 1B depends on if Rizzo recovers or not Nodoze fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Oct 27, 2023 |

mcmagic posted:They got NOTHING out of Severino, Cortes and Rodon and still had the 9th best ERA in the majors as a team. The lineup is by far the bigger need. Yeah and you think that is repeatable? There is zero reason not to be all over Yamamoto in addition to finding offensive help. If you end up moving Schmidt for a bat you are replacing him with Yamamoto which is uh... more than likely significantly upgrading. It's only money and the dude is a huge star in Japan, they used to be all about those guys

mcmagic posted:Yeah I think 9th is repeatable. They will get more from Rodon/Cortes and whoever takes Sevy's spot than they did last year. If they are going to sign Yamamoto and ALSO put in the necessary resources toward turning over the offense then I'm cool with that. I just don't believe Hal is going to do that. Cortes and Rodon right now can't be trusted and going into the season with the same staff and assuming they'll be better than last year just because is dumb and I'd expect you to know that. Also have to account for the fact Cole might have some kind of drop off too I want no part of Bellinger, I don't trust his come back. Yes the offense needs work

Gray got better as soon as he left NY because they way they were telling him to pitch was completely backwards from what he should have been doing. This is not the defense he thinks it is at all

Legendary Ptarmigan posted:Hal simultaneously saying that the Yankee's spending is at a sufficient level but (according to Buster) simultaneously waving $25 million per year at a player who has never thrown an MLB baseball professionally is maddening. The former point is completely true; they do spend enough money that they should be able to complete every single year, but the idea that the priority this offseason is acquiring more starting pitching is just...no. You are going to give back half of the $50 million in (self-imposed) cap space you cleared this offseason to an unknown pitcher? Admittedly he has tremendous upside, but Yamamoto could equally likely be the next Kei Igawa. Yamamoto is actually a big need, they should be in on him. He's a young international star, something they could stand to have for numerous reasons both off and on the field. They should be looking at Jung Hoo Lee

mcmagic posted:Why are you making GBS threads on ERod? He's a lefty who has been consistent his whole career and has proven he can pitch well in the AL East Cause he isn't that good? I actually don't feel as bad about this as it looks on the surface, having a team full of .230 hitters really worked out well. The ability to hit for average has been devalued and I actually think it should be emphasized more now than ever due to the fact that everyone strikes out like crazy.

The Yankees do have pieces to move, not a TON but they have some. Real question is whether they would or not. I'd dangle Schmidt out there for offense I'd rather gamble on Lee being able to hit MLB pitching than Bellinger going forward because the money difference will be massive
