No way is that deal real right? Just hypothetical?
Yeah it's a trade idea.
I got confused and thought it was done.
Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but man...
If you were lucky enough to go to the old Yankee Stadium when Bob Sheppard was alive and you heard that voice...it gave you a certain feeling. I can't even describe it.

I swear Yankee twitter has lost their goddamn minds saying they don’t want Luis Arraez with his 200 hits a year and .372 career OBP to be the leadoff hitter. Put Jazz, Volpe, and Dominguez as 3 of the 4 final hitters with him leading off and that’s terror for a pitcher to deal with and between him and Bellinger there’d almost always be someone on for Judge to drive home. If he’s available, he’s what the lineup needs unless Steven Kwan hit the market.
If he's available, hell yeah. Exactly what we need in the lineup, someone with real bat control, can get hits and on base. We don't need another HR/K/nothing hitter in the lineup. He seemed to have a pretty good year in the field at 2B as well. Plug him at 2B and leadoff, and keep Jazz at 3B, and we're cooking with fish grease.
Question becomes, what do have to give up to get him? He's a FA in 2026.

I doubt much. He’s not a great defender and isn’t fast with 1 year left on his deal.
