Love a high-strikeout bullpen. Now they just need a high-strikeout lefty.

But a good one!

Yep, good point. I guess I still believe they can get solid results from 1B and LF in 2025 without a multi-year commitment. If it's not one of the older 1B guys, maybe it's another trade similar to the one for Bellinger (maybe Naylor or Yandy Diaz).

I don't think they can do a big, multi-year contract in LF or 1B and still go after Vladdy or Kyle Tucker in free agency next year. I think that's their priority. Either Goldschmidt or Santana would work on a one-year deal. Goldschmidt isn't what he was, but he'd be better than Rizzo/DJ last year.

I think the Yankees should be looking for someone on a one-year deal at 1B or LF. Maybe Goldschmidt or Santana. I think they're going to prioritize budget flexiblliity so they can make a run at Vladdy or Kyle Tucker in free agency next year.

Sports Illustrated says the Angels and Nationals are interested.

Jets gonna jets.

Erggh, “t-shirt designs”

Out of these, I like E (depending on what Yankees had to give up for Bohm and Suzuki). Of mine, I like A best (Bellinger, Moncada, Hernandez).

Arrange a deal for Kyle Tucker that includes the right to negotiate, then sign him to a 10-year deal for $375 million. I’d give up Luis Gil for that.

Poetry!

I also suspect Cohen would have gone higher if necessary. So, assuming the final dollar amount was the key factor for Soto, there was no way the Yanks were going to win this.

Awaiting the inevitable ESPN signing grade of A or A+.
