You mean a 2x CY Young winner :unimpressed:

FTR, I didn't want him, but this line of thinking is why they passed up on Bryce Harper, because they "had Aaron Hicks".
It’s not nearly the same thing. Not even close.

He passed up Harper because he thought he had the cheaper option that was just as good (Stanton) and mainly because Cashman became petrified of lefties. Not pursuing Harper was like if the Yankees never gave a damn about Soto. That helps you today tomorrow and years after that. Snell MIGHT help you today and only today and his flaws are the same ones that cause us not to trust anyone else outside of Cole

If Stanton can stay healthy with Judge and Soto. :wow::ohlawd:

He needs to accept his role but also know that Soto takes the pressure off of Judge — and him.

Mans only has to stay healthy and make solid contact. The outfield is fine, pitching is holding its own and who knows who else the team pulls in at the trade deadline to help out.

Shǐt I’ll take a broken down Mike Trout for the vet minimum :pachaha:

WHO STILL WANTS BLAKE SNELL?
It’s not even about if Blake Snell is doing well. The Yankees 100% would of took Snell if they weren’t cheap.

So evaluation wise they didn’t dodge a bullet. Being cheap made them dodge a bullet which doesn’t impress me

Snell wasn’t a “get at damn near any cost” guy. Damn sure not for 9 years as a reaction to Cole missing 2+ months.
