The Official 2025 New York Yankees Thread

I'd still prefer Oswaldo as a UTL guy off the bench, but "pretty good...pretty good"



Bregman would be the dream, but Jose Iglesias, Paul DeJong (can he play 2B?) and Brendan Rodgers are still available.
 
I'd prefer giving Oswald Perraza an extended opportunity before any of the above names (maybe I could live with Bergman).
 
After doing a really good job of adding talented players Cashman and Steinbrenner are going to nickle and dime the 3rd base problem! Use Stroman and 2/3/4 prospects to make it interesting.
Hal is crying poverty with the richest franchise in MLB, there are some pretty good players out there that could play 2B or 3B that they could trade for!
Bergman is gone and Arenado is old!
The 3 possibles on the roster will drag down the lineup go outside the present system!
They don't need a superstar, just a good fielder with an average+ bat in the 28 to 30 age range will help with the rest of the proposed lineup!
Finish the job Hal don't leave it partially completed!
 
Stroman = ultimate teammate:



Pack your bags, Stro!

Surprisingly, there are a few options still out there: Brendan Rodgers (keep Jazz 3B), Iglesias or DeJong (SS by trade, but I'm sure he can play 2B/3B). However, like @FfldCntyFan said, there's Peraza too, but a .735 OPS in AAA makes me pause.
 
If they don’t get a solid third baseman it’s a failure by Cash again. Standing pat on either Lemaihue or Cabrera is a joke. Aeranado is fine better than where we are or will be.

Stanton already in mid season form.

Definitely long overdue. I’m not sure what the deal is with the mustaches but some of them either look like pedos or 80’s p0rn stars. It’s such a bad look if your name isn’t Tom Selleck…or Tom Tucker for Family Guy fans. I’m glad they made the change.
 
When Soto plays at Yankee Stadium this season, will you applaud, boo or ignore? Gotta admit, I'm a full-on boobird for him for his first AB and then ignore after that. He's not a true villain, but he deserves to hear it.

Used to love DJ but it’s way beyond time for him to hang up the cleats.

Marcus Stroman, welcome to the starting rotation!

I am so pi--ed at Hal Steinbrenner for being cheap on the 3rd base problem and then we'll be down 2 starting pitchers for a while this season!
Hal's got the richest franchise in MLB and he's crying poverty!
 
Did Stanton hurt himself lifting weights?
 
If Cole is scheduled to miss extended time, would you be open to signing Trevor Bauer? He obviously brings a ton of baggage with him, but he's commented that he'd play for the league minimum and was a front-line starter before his legal troubles. I don't think it will happen because they wouldn't want to deal with any of the fallout, but it's an interesting proposition.

There's baggage and then there's Trevor Bauer-level baggage.

To me, the prudent thing would be sign Gibson or Lynn now and then maybe make a trade in a month or a few. A trade now would just make the Yankees seem super desperate, thus driving up the costs of other team's demands.

Hey Adrien & billythekid- - Trevor Bauer had all charges dropped and was found NOT guilty of any of the charges, but it seems once you're accused of a crime you're pronounced guilty!
He's getting a bad rap!
I would sign him in a NY minute!
The problem as I stated above is Hal crying poverty!
He doesn't want to spend more money!
Get a 3rd baseman, and 2 starting pitchers (Bauer & Alcantara) and cut out the BS!

This is the problem Hal cares more about bad PR than winning a World Series. Not only was Trevor Bauer not guilty of any charges he was a victim in this case.

You could easily just sign Bauer to a minor league deal and have him work his way up. We know the injury excuses for this team are gonna be there, this is convenient for Hal.

I don't disagree with you about the bad rap. It bothers me that he's had his career derailed by what appears to be a false accusation. That said, it's not been just the Yankees that have passed on this guy. Innocent or not, signing him brings a lot of heat and I'm not talking about the mph on his fastball.
