Better than what we have. So I'll take it.

Super pass. There is no reason to tie up LF to Benintendi for multiple years. Get Conforto. Give him 1 year / $15mil. Second year option with a $5mil buyout to let Boras feel like he won something

On the other hand if he wants a 2+1 like Mitch Haniger for $43mil. That’s fine. But I’d be trading Benintendi after this season.

Still take Conforto over Benintendi

 

[mrdozo]

6years for Rodon? I get he was in high demand but for a guy with his injury history .......
Hope it works out for everyone.

How about the lineup, bullpen tho?

 

[onewearz]

Wonder if Loiziga ( however u spell it ) closes now or still Clay ? Either way those 2 at 8 and 9 is pretty good ..

 

[donewithjs]

Rumor is Manny is opting out after this season.

Bullpen is fine - still could see Britton back on an incentive driven deal

That's a pass for me. He's thrown over 20 innings in 3 seasons. He hasn't been consistently healthy since 2016.

 

[アミーゴ]

Pretty damn good in 19, take him on a prove it deal.

 

[アミーゴ]

For the bench - going to have to get some of the kids playing time at some point (unless you trade them smh).

5 yrs 75 mil for benintendi. Don’t really feel that’s unreasonable

AAV is solid but idk about 5 years for a guy like him. Seems unnecessary, can get equal production with less commitment.

 

[essential1]

Michael Conforto reclaimation season…. Come on down.

 

[g-time]

Still say they should make a trade for one of the dbacks OFers over Conforto.

Bullpen is crowded already.

1. Jonny Lasagna
2. Clay Holmes
3. Wandy Peralta
4. Michael King
5. Marinaccio
6. German
7. Schmidt
8. Leutg
9. Trivino

 

[g-time]

Efforts isn’t going to be with us anytime soon. He had Tommy John.

Effross is out for the season man - all reports are one more arm.

There goes Benny like you wanted though

 

[g-time]

Definitely should get one more arm.

Dude turned 28 this year. A .300 avg lefty is what the yanks need. 5years is very reasonable

That’s what I was saying. Definitely need another lefty bat in this order.

 

[アミーゴ]

Alright let’s burn these damn bad contracts down now

Regression to the mean. He’s a .275 hitter minimal power guy on average in the years Prior to 2022. And hit .254 with the Yankees.
Has Average speed.

Lefty bats are brought in for their power in Yankee stadium. Not slapping singles around.

And if they were, has to be a better hitter than Benintendi.

 

[g-time]

Sometimes we’re a little too reliant on power. Would hurt to have another contact guy in the lineup. That’s what we were missing in the playoffs.

 

[essential1]

If we were talking 2 years, sure.

5 years for someone of Benintendi’s level is horrific.

5 years is a long time in baseball. Maybe you can trade him. But if you can’t it’s a huge anchor. (See Aaron Hicks)
