The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2022

If there’s an opportunity to get Soto you gotta do it, the losses you get in a trade for him is worth the return. He’s 23 much younger then Stanton and Judge, you have him for at least 3 post season runs. An insurance policy if Judge leaves and yes you could still keep Judge. Chapman and Britton are off the books after this year, Donaldson and Hicks soon after. That clears up room to keep both Judge and Soto long term. He wants a huge contract being a Boras client ok fine let him prove that in the Bronx for 3 years.

I get that you're excited, but IMO, acquiring Soto means not extending Judge.

I'd much rather extend Judge and then use the trade chips to acquire other talent, then use all of our trade chips to acquire Soto and then risk losing Judge.

When all is said and done, I'd like to keep one of the top shortstop prospects and I personally think Dominguez is overrated.

Here my prediction of what the Yankees will do:
  • Acquire Luis Castillo for Peraza, Waldichuk and maybe another prospect
  • Acquire an outfielder with multiple years of control for Dominguez and another prospect or two. Maybe Laureano, Reynolds or Reynolds, but I don't think either is a good enough outfield to part with Dominguez. I'd trade Dominguez for Ian Happ.
  • Acquire David Robinson
  • Acquire a depth starter like Mike Minor
 
Tough blow losing King for the season. I think Cashman's next move will be predicated on whether the organization thinks that Chapman and Loisaga will be able to shake off the rust and get back to pitching at a high level. Right now, I can't see Boone feeling comfortable pitching either guy in a high leverage situation. But we've seen that both have the goods to be able to contribute.

You can afford Judge and Dominguez long term with money coming off the books in the upcoming years don’t let Yankees and their own media tell ya that they can’t afford it.

I don’t think he’s getting dealt btw until the offseason. Yankees do have an advantage btw with their farm system and the Mets being in the same division if Soto is hell bent in being a Yankee all the more leverage in Yankees favor.

I would be more then fine with the moves you listed. I would be against trading Dominguez for Happ for Soto yes, if it meant trading Dominguez and keeping Volpe then fine, I do think Dominguez is overrated as well.

Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

Cashman has some work to do.

Unless they can trade Gallo, Donaldson, Chapman and Hicks for him (ha ha) they need to forget about Soto and focus on pitching at the deadline.
 
i'd settle for better pizza at the concessions.

anybody notice that giancarlo won the mvp at the allstar game? i guess that he is now one of only five in history to be derby champ, allstar mvp, and regular season mvp.
mebbe i should back the truck up to remind some here aboot the mean things they said aboot him. he's great.

I am still furious that we added Donaldson right before the season started. I imagine that if we added the $50 million Donaldson is guaranteed to the offer to Judge before opening day, Judge would be locked up for the next seven years and we could focus on other things.

Yes, pitching is the vast majority of what it takes to win (especially in the postseason) and even with the number of arms we have in the bullpen it takes a few starters who can consistently provide quality starts and eat innings to win. We've burnt out our bullpen before August 1 and we have maybe two starters we can count on.

I also need to add the number of barely over .200 hitters in our lineup. I don't care what the record is at the moment, we are no better than a tossup in any round of the playoffs the way we are currently built.

I think that taking on Donaldson was part of the cost of dumping Gary Sanchez and picking up IKF.

Are you claiming that Sanchez and Urshella wouldn't have been sufficient to land Kiner-Falefa and Rortvedt?
 
I have my suspicions on why they took Donaldson's contract off Minnesota's hands.

This team just doesn’t look right. Having Gallo on the roster and Andujar in AAA still is downright criminal. Andujar and Florial would give this team a lift even if it were just a small sample size.

Getting Castillo is an absolute must, I know Soto getting dealt to the Yankees won’t happen but he is more of a need then people think. I wouldn’t be worried about him disrupting chemistry because the Yankees are not a championship team right now, they need a shakeup.

Team is front runner and isn’t clutch get an early lead then can’t get the shutdown inning and doesn’t tack on that extra run or 2 that’s what clutch teams do.

Last night IKF gets picked off with runners on 1st and 3rd can’t have that, getting caught stealing you live with that. German vs Scherzer tonight lol.

Yankees get 'boost of energy' with deal for Benintendi

NEW YORK -- It was around this time last year that pinging sound effects and glowing screens filled a charter flight from Tampa to Miami, gossip filtering throughout the cabin that the Yankees were acquiring Anthony Rizzo from the Cubs. The move provided a welcome spark, prompting celebration in the

Prior to the trade, Sikkema and Way were the 19th and 21st best prospects, according to mlb.com. Champlain was unranked.

Since this trade happened the same night that I returned from a vacation, is this another notch in my belt?

that the sawx got rid of this guy is insane, and that the rest of the league didn't move heaven and earth to get him on their squads is also whackadoodle.
professional hitter. sweeeeeeet.
 
traded guy is named "Beck Way?' no way, too funny!

'they call me beck. beck way.'

guy hits a dinger - 'the beck way.'
'don't call me becky...'
lol.

Reminds me of Raftery calling one of our games:
“Donnie Marshall sending it in and doing it….the Federal Way!”. (Originally from Federal Way, Washington)

I just realized that the Yankees signed reliever Richard Rodriguez to a minor-league deal earlier this month after serving a 80 game PED ban.

Sub-3 ERA and 18 saves over 88 games across the previous two seasons between Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

At the very least, he’s another veteran reliever that cost the Yankees nothing in trade value and could be a late-inning guy if he puts it all together.

@storrsroars and @Pgh2Storrs … any intel on Rodriguez?

When he was with the Pirates it was like smoke and mirrors. RichRod basically only has one pitch, a low 90s fastball, and he's very good at keeping it at top of zone or above to get swings and misses. And even though every batter knew what was coming, it was still effective to the point of disbelief that he could get away with that at a major league level.

He will throw a slider maybe 15-20% of the time to keep batters off balance, but it's not very good. And once a week he may toss a changeup, which also isn't very good. That he's 32 now, his future is probably all about whether he can keep that velocity or get better control of the slider.
 
Going to be an exciting weekend seeing the trades.
 
Castillo to Mariners, Cashman has no balls. This front office just doesn't wanna win a world series bad enough, they would rather try and be the smartest guy in the room.

That Mariners package is crazy though. If I were the Yankees I'd rather just go get one of the other SPs on the market. Always tough to make a perfect comparison but basically the equivalent of the Yankees sending Peraza, Waldichuk, Sweeney which is a steep price

The Mariners got their azzes kick tonight by the Astros. I think that lit a fire.
