2020 Yankees
- Thread starter LISteve
- Start date
Seve had an unfortunate injury this past season but is an otherwise young pitcher that's an All Star when playing. Playoff struggles aside, a young starter of his caliber locked up for the next 3 years for $30 million all told is a steal for the team. Having in place for the next few years with a club option on the 4th year at that price gives them stability with the rotation and flexibility with their payroll.
Stanton is 30 years old and owed 244 million over 7 years, that is scary.
Not a Voit fan, so if Joanne-Carlo can handle first base, why not. She could get a breather when she gets her period, allowing Voit/Ford to play.
I HOPE Chapman opts out, fingers crossed.
I like Hicks, not a hater on him. Love that DEF and switch hitting ability. We may not have seen a game 6 if not for him, not that it matters. But that was some media BS that he figured it out in his backyard playing wiffle ball. Stanton was shot, Tauchman wasn't seasoned, so they said, blow out the arm. He did.
Didi is gone, he will get at least 4 years from some team. Not wise for Yanks to offer him that.
Hope we retain Betances
If we don't get Cole or Strasburg, hope we get Ryu AND Bumgartner, the latter might be able to influence Paxton.
Tanaka getting bone spurs removed today isn't the best news.
Severino
Bumgartner
Tanaka
Paxton
Ryu
German, Devi, Lasagna to solidify the pen in 2020
Happ gets traded and we eat most of the contract
Still need a stud Lefty bat or 2.

I don't think German can be trusted after what happened this year. Regardless of what happened, you lay a hand on a woman and you're a punk bitch for life. For me, he has to earn the trust back, that means you start at the back of the pen, if you WANT it that bad, then go get it. Otherwise, I would field offers for him and see what they can get. He HURT the 2019 team by his selfish actions, yeah yeah, we don't know EXACTY what he did, but it was bad and definitive enough to keep him off ALL playoff rosters. It wasn't a love tap on his baby momma's PHAT fanny.
You have to account for EVERYTHING you say and do in public and in the private sector these days with social media and I Phones. Trust yourself and your dog. Thats about it.

This is the new narrative. I think their present "process" is a reaction to so many of the GOD AWFUL contracts that were given out and hampered the team. Such as A-Rod, Stanton, Ellsbury, Kei Egawa (Remember him?) The list goes on ... Carl Pavano? Back in George's day they didn't give out such large and LOOOOOOOOONG contracts. Give me an example of a really long and awful contract that George gave out that was really bad. I can't think of one. When George was throwing his money around they weren't winning anything in the 80's. They started to win once he was suspended and Stick Michael was running the show and he built the dynasty through the farm system and smart trades.
This is why I wrote a few days ago that Cashman needs to be put on notice. All those AWFUL contracts were his doing! Not too mention the terrible pitching trades he made for Vasquez, Weaver, Kevin "Doo Doo" Brown, Gray. I am only spit balling this with a quick response here, but his body of work has NOT produced enough when you consider the resources. He was adamant about getting Stanton, I HATED that deal from the get go. We just got rid of A-Rods contract, why take on another albatross.
Personally, I work best under pressure, if there is none you get lackadaisical its' human nature. I want to be pressured without it there is no competition. If he doesn't start to feel some heat he will continue to operate status quo. UGH! Said I would put the Yanks away until heart of the hot stove. It's MADDENING!

I want to see what Frazier can do with less of the handcuffs on him. I don't mean let him be a twitter fool, but give him the pep talk and confidence, let him know he will get every shot to be the man on the biggest stage in the world. Let Tauch fill in here and there, maybe it's a great platoon. But its time to move on from Gardy. If he was too tired towards the end of the year, then he is too old. Make decisions with your head, not your heart. Life is cut throat, he has his ring and millions.
