Time to put a fork in the 2019 Yankees thread! Time to start a new thread with a positive vibe!
My predictions:
Cole will hopefully be a Yankee in 2020 ... BUT .... I predict he does LEAVE Houston.
Yankees will add a strong arm to their rotation .. be it Cole, Strausburg, or someone else of that quality or close.
Yankees will extend Chapman so he does not opt out.
Yankees will come to terms with Betances.
Yankees will also make DIdi a qualifying offer which he will take in hopes of having a good year so he can score a multi-year contract.
Encarnacion is bought out of his contract and let go for free agency.
EASIEST PREDICTION: Stanton does NOT opt out! Could you imagine if he did?
I think they will re-sign Gardner ... although I would let him go. Better to let a player go one year too early than one year too late.
