Brent Rooker is still available I’m sure. If the padres are dumping guys, call about Tatis and Arraez.
Yankees aren't (and shouldn't) be tryna balloon this shyt all in 1 year.

If they didn't dump Soto on us, they're not gonna dump Tatis on us (and Tatis is another one who's gonna need to play RF).

Arraez I'd gladly take though.



1B, 3B, LF, and if one of them is just a stopgap for next winter, that's cool too. Next winter will have a bunch of free agents that can fit what we do and we're gonna have FOMO because we got desperate now. Desperate teams don't win titles. Measured teams do.

My assumption now is Bellinger is locked in at 1B. My only fear is that the Yankees bring back Verdugo with options still available,

Nah, it's a cache 22. Imagine you give up Gil and Tucker decides to pull a Soto on us. I can't blame him.

Giving away King and potentially Gil for one year rentals would be nasty work.
I don't understand why everyone's so thirsty to assure ourselves of Rodon being our #3 starter when he's gonna have an ERA damn near at 5 next year.

If Rodon was from Puerto Plata you be singing his song.......................Gil was worth moving from Tucker. Then in a few years we will be talking about how we hyped up our prospects only for them to fizzle out. Sometimes you got to risk it for the biscuit.

If Rodon was from Puerto Plata he'd be Ubaldo Jimenez.


If we're gonna assume every prospect we'll bring up fizzles out, you've painted yourself into an unsustainable corner. IF everyone else senses that, they won't trade with you. If you don't produce cost controlled talent, you'll need to have the kind of payroll that the Yankees will never settle for. This isn't some speculative name. This is a ROY who won that award in spite of the Yankees. This was a guy who only got to start because Cole was hurt half the year. He wasn't even someone we hyped up. He would come up and put in work (and then he wasn't it was because he needed surgery). Would Tucker have been good to have? Sure, but dealing King and Gil in back to back years only to get kicked in the nuts is crazy.

Dude had no intention of returning.


Them cac Yankees MAGA support rubbed Soto the wrong way. A lot of boot licking Dominicans voted Trump but some of them Hate Trump and Soto happens to be one of them, Breh wanted nothing to do with Judge and them wearing them red hats.

Are the Yankees hardcore MAGA? Yes.

Do Dominicans really care? You know the answer to that.

If there was a pic of that giraffe Judge rockin Trump gear, someone woulda seen it.


I can speak for myself, I’ve deleted people I’ve known for years off social media because their support for Donald Trump, some of us just don’t fukk with that fool on the other hand a lot of Dominicans dont really care and they LOVE Trump because of whatever benefits they think they’re going to get. According to Boras them Yankee MAGA loving Cac players rubbed Soto the wrong way. Soto himself seems to be a weird ass and probably took this shyt to heart along with that stuff that happened with his family and the security guard.
