The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2023

The Estevan Florial era is over. It will be interesting to see how he fares with a new team that will, hopefully, give him a longer look than he got in NY. He just always came across as classic "4A" player that slayed in the minors but could never translate that in the big.

It is very likely that he ends up being one of many ballplayers who appeared to be on a star trajectory at a very young age, only to become a journeyman (or less).

One thing that irks me about how the Yanks handled him however is that there were about a half dozen outfielders that Cashman picked up off the scrap heap the past five years who had significantly more at bats in their brief time in pinstripes than Florial was provided from 2019-2023.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I agree. A career .848 OPS in AAA isn't exactly slayin' especially with his whopping 30% K-rate at that level.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I dig the Stroman signing. Honestly, I find a two-year, 37 million a bargain in this market for a quality starter.

 

[Scoe]

Like the signing now sign another starter or 2.

There is not much else out there unless you dig deep for Snell or Montgomery the famous Boras duo. Lets do some digging Cashman!!

This is great work if you can get it I guess…

Joey Gallo is going to be a National, the 30-year-old slugger having agreed to terms on a one-year deal that guarantees $5 million, plus the potential for another $1 million earned in incentives, sources familiar with the negotiation confirmed.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I dig the Caleb Ferguson trade. Acquired the LHP reliever from the Dodgers for a 31 year old they picked up from waivers and a 19 year old who wasn't listed on Yankees ' top-36 prospects.

Ferguson is a five-year veteran has a 96 mph fastball and a 86 mpg slider.

86 mpg slider.

The yankees have struggled with poor gas mileage.
