It Was Fun While It Lasted: The Official 2024 New York Yankees Off-Season Thread

[Nero Christ]

Can’t lie…Cashman is making moves

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Aight Cashman, you b*stard — you got another piece.

But we want more.

A third baseman and an outfielder.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

A third baseman and an outfielder.

I highly doubt Cleveland says yes, but Steven Kwan would be a great addition to the lineup and defense.

Oh I’ll take a new manager as well.

 

[g-ice]

Would be great but yeah Cleveland ain’t going to do that.

 

[g-ice]

I could see them going after a first baseman still and have Bellinger be an outfielder.

Cashman would give up everything for him. That's his white whale

The goal for Bellinger: play so well he opts out.

As long as he's not in Murakami or Dominguez's way, doesn't hurt.

whoever they sign at 1B, 3B, or OF is gonna wind up needing to be good at table setting because if Judge is back hitting 2nd, the lineup is gonna look real easy to navigate.

Already reported they told Bellinger he'll be playing CF.

Well, there you go. They might make a play at Walker if they can agree on the amount of years.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Well, there you go. They might make a play at Walker if they can agree on the amount of years.

at this point, Rice or a 1 year stopgap if they're petrified of their system still.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

I’m good with that. See if Christian walker will agree to 2 years, and go get a 2nd baseman who can hit leadoff with some speed.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Walker wants 4. You ain't talking him down to 2.

Ideally, the lineup would look like this

CF Bellinger
LF Dominguez
RF Judge
C Wells
DH Stanton
3B Chisholm
SS Volpe
1B Rice
2B or 3B????


but if the Yankees somehow get Yandy Diaz, that settles leadoff right there

I might hate this move when he's hitting .200 in the middle of May but I like the versatility on defense he brings.

Check his 2024 road splits. He’ll be better here than Chicago.
