Charlotte had over like, half the roster opt for free agency. They need bodies.

And they and the Red Sox probably won't both have a down year again. It doesn't usually happen.

A down year by AL East = down year for Yankees and Red Sox

"It either works or it doesn't." Emphasis on the "doesn't."

Please don't get us started.

You're more than welcome to go back to your own board if you don't want to continue discussing the same thing in circles with a side that is "wrong"

Expected, but yes, comical.

I have a really hard time seeing the Yankees hand out another $200+M deal to Snell while paying Cole $36M a year until 2028 and Rodon just under $28M a year through 2028. I'm sure they also would like the future flexibility to pay Soto after this year as well. Considering he wants to be on the West coast, I bet the Giants or Angels, who he has already been linked to, ends up overpaying for him.

It would just be like every other move they have made.

These signings are what they should be doing if they could pick higher than 10th. This is how the roster should look if they wanted the #1 pick. I don't think they would be doing anything different.

Platoon of Grisham/Stanton where Grisham sits against lefties and Judge plays CF in that scenario?

I think they need to launch Stanton and have Soto/Judge/Verdugo/Rizzo rotate the DH spot playing a real CF in the OF. I guess Stanton is ok for the occasional bomb still, though. Edit: just saw his post about moving Verdugo, who was traded for when they didn't have Soto.

Wow I have no idea how I manifested Shields there lol

Does this lower his AAV for luxury tax purposes?

Can't believe how bad this roster is going to look and be and end up with the 10th pick lol

This move still doesn't get Sheets out of the OF, but there is still time. Just sign like Robbie Grossman or someone if you don't get an immediate MLB OF in a Cease deal.

I’d be pissed to hear that if I were a Cubs fan. Good thing they got hot leading up to the deadline.

Minor league deal but with the current roster, he has to be a favorite for a bench spot.

I'm fine with it. I'd rather play Colas though. The guy is a 4th OF if they don't acquire an MLB ready OF in a Cease deal.

Or paying less in penalties at least.

To some extent, every team does.

He probably wouldn’t be a main piece. Prob a back half piece.

Doesn’t fathom have sources?

Can you share the link?
