I'm the other way around. Arenado is washed and this is another move where Cashman tries to squeeze one more decent year out of someone instead of developing someone. He's also not as good as he used to be at 3B. What makes Arenado any more appealing that outright signing Goldy for 1B? Signing Goldy for a year is probably more appealing because he'd be a lot cheaper.Jeff McNeil and Nolan Arenado?
I actually think Arenado wouldn't be a bad gamble. His power is gone but I do like his contact ability and his defense is still very good.
As an individual move, it's not bad.
But you need a hell of a lot more than that to replace Soto.
Jeff McNeil doesn't fill any gap. He's lefty and maybe can hit homers in Yankee Stadium. He might also hit .230. The Yankees have already tried several players with that profile in the last 10 years.
McNeil's not exactly a primary option I'd want, but I do think he'd be better at the Stadium. Plan A for me is still to move Chisholm to 2B, keep a stopgap at 1B and hold out for Murakami. If the Yankees wanna take a chance with Durbin at 2B I'm not totally against it.
Really just comes down to what the Yankees wanna do at 2B or 3B with Jazz

I'm not opposed to Arenado at all, it's actually better a value move than signing Alonso or Bregman (both who are trending downwards) to 5-7 year deal at 25-30 M per.
At least Nolan only has 3 years on his deal, with less money on payroll (21M next year, around 15M the final 2 years)

My god.
I like Christian Walker ...in the sense of ...when you're doing your fantasy baseball draft....you could get him in the later rounds and he might finish as the 8th or 9th highest scoring 1B in your league.
But I don't like him as someone to rely on in a championship run. And I am pretty sure he's like 34 years old.
I hate Brian Cashman so much.

I think they're low key afraid of settling for Ben Rice even though for a year they should absolutely do that and position themselves for Murakami.
Cashman can't limit everything to trying to capitalize on just Cole and Judge's timeline.

I dig it. Massive upgrade from Rizzo, just played in the WS last year, and it'll likely be a short term deal

I don't mind Walker at all.
As long as they don't play any more games against the Padres and Tatis jr doesn't tiger knee Walker in the head, I'm fine with it although I can definitely live with Rice being there as well.
I would be the most excited about the improved defense if anything. From that line of thinking, I wouldn't mind if the Yankees take a flyer on Ha Seong Kim but it seems like he already has a bunch of suitors and there's no point in getting to a bidding war for a player that won't be ready till all star break at best.

We need to make a petition for Cashman and Boone to go asap
Gleyber isn't coming back.
But Brian Cashman is so goddamn unlikable. How the hell do you work in New York City and be so bad at sidestepping these loaded questions? You'd think the Yankees would have an army of PR specialists to train these guys on how to deal with the media.
