Yep.

What do you mean "get one right" in this kind of instance? He's saying Sox are interested. If Betances signs somewhere else, does that mean hes wrong that Sox were interested?

This doesn't really mean anything though. Also, catchers, being the leader on the field, make good coaches.

Pitching staffs are capped at 13 so the teams with 3 man benches won't be adding pitchers.

I kinda have a small feeling he gets moved. For what, who knows.

I'll be honest: carrying 3 catchers sounds like a waste of a roster spot.

If Grandal is getting majority of his at bats between 1B/DH. then I would rather sign someone better for DH like JDM if he is available.

Hes probably not getting 2-3 years though.

Agreed 100%.

He's not my favorite option, but I doubt he leaves the Yanks anyway.

Ah yes, the Robin Ventura, never coached anywhere, route. The good news for them is it's not rocket science and there's always a chance he is good. I'd be too worried about guys not taking him that seriously though since they are friends with him.

Yeah he's definitely not near the top of my list but as a salary dump for one year, if they strike out on every other option, I'm good with Reddick.

I refer you to the free agent/trade list provided on the previous page. I'd take Avi over what we trotted out there in 2019 but he's definitely not my plan A, B, C or probably even H.

Yeah, there's literally about 10 other ideas that are better.

You're literally stating it as fact though.

I usually don't look at the creator until I click on the thread haha

I love how you see this title and expect to at least see a link to a story like this is a legit article headline and might have facts. Not even close.

If the answer is "not that much worse", sign JDM instead. Edit: I guess we have an answer lol

I don't think he was really wrong about Machado. He seemed like he was going to sign here. If Padres don't jump in last minute, he's in Chicago.

Yeah rumor is they want to save money (spend on pitching), play Goodwin in RF until Adell is ready. I did see they could pick up his option and deal him for whatever just to get something for him (he was also on a list of surprising players not moved at the trade deadline at the time).

He wasn't bagging on the player. Read the rest of the post.

Seems to be a perfectly good reason not to opt-out.

There has even debate on this. Personally, if they stick with McCann as the starter next year, I'm good with it since he worked will with the pitchers and was good behind the plate. That's the most important job of the position.

I don't see Gardner leaving the Yanks. One would say they have no room for him but the same could also be said last offseason.

Wouldn't it also depend on how stacked your lineup actually is? The lineup has so much potential to have a legit talent at every spot. So your 3 worst hitters hitting 7-8-9 could still be quite good.
