Arias has a 26% k rate but a 17% walk rate , dude is nasty but can’t locate his pitches

If the Yankees can get him to throw consistent strikes then you have a potential filthy bullpen pitcher but he can’t do that or he’d still be on the cubs :francis:

Well, I hope that he signs with the Yankees. It's unlikely though.

Japanese players have a strong preference for West Coast teams (especially the Dodgers). The West Coast is closer to Japan, and there is a larger Japanese diaspora over there. There's only a tiny Japanese diaspora in NYC/East Coast.

The Yankees should try to lure Korean and Taiwanese players too. Those are also baseball-obsessed East Asian countries, and there is a decent-sized Korean and Taiwanese diaspora in NYC.

Matsui connection makes me hopeful & we need Boss Tanaka in on them convos too

Brehs, believe in Cody Bellinger this year

He always wanted to be a Yankee. His old man was a Yankee. He's not gonna want the Bellinger name associated with the Yankees to be a bad one,. "Remember Clay Bellinger with the dynasty Yankees? Too bad his son was a bum"

We're gonna get the best version

If they got Kwan or Arraez I’d say this offense should be better than last year.
