Soto or Nowhere: The Official 2024 New York Yankees Off-Season Thread

Three team trade:

Yankees get Jon Berti
Rays get Ben Rortvedt
Marlins get a prospect from the Yankees and Rays

 

[puggle]

Other than the ability to play multiple infield positions, it seems like his strength is speed which on a slow team is probably a good thing.

Next time we'll see Ben Rortvedt is at Old Timer's Day

 

[Mantle Drunk]

Desperate move for a desperate team supposedly the prospect they traded was shooting up the rankings.

It’ll probably backfire for one reason or another but a guy who defends well at multiple positions (one of which is badly needed), hits for a high average, and is both fast and steals a lot of bases seems to be a good move.

28th ranked prospect and 18 years old. Berti’s versatile and speedy. Basically IKF if IKF was used appropriately, but also behind Dominguez, Jones and possibly Arias too

Seems like a solid trade.

Rortvedt was worth getting rid of.

Brolic for nothing.

Plus Wells made him expendable.

I really think the focus for the Yankees is just to survive until June.

Remain in the hunt and hope Gerrit Cole returns and finishes the season healthy.
If they can do that and if Jasson Dominguez returns and hits well, they will be well-positioned.

Anthony Volpe had a nice Spring Training. I don't have a lot of faith in him offensively but I hope he proves me wrong.

In for opening day

Lets start the season right.

 

[holidayinn21]

This is a big season for Volpe

He can't repeat last years performance on offense. Not saying he gotta be a .850 OPS guy, but at least .750

 

[BlueHeffner]

We byke

 

[NYChase718]

Makin him throw pitches

 

[g-ice]
