Yay we brought Rizzo back. Cashman must be opening up a nursing home.

Great to have Rizzo back.I couldn't stomach another season of Voit at 1st

 

[Machinehead]

Rizzo is a good signing. Lefty and a professional hitter.

Surely this means Voit is gone.

Rizzo is in decline, as is Donaldson.

So?

The Yankees have plenty of players in their prime.

So these moves get the team no closer to a championship, which should be the goal. They're the fourth best team in the division right now.

I think adding better hitters and greatly improving the defense is definitely something the Yankees need to do to get closer to a championship.

I'm just happy I won't have to watch Gary Sanchez anymore

100%. Addition by subtraction.

Nice upside prospect for Voit. Let him cook for a few years and could have another Gil.

Correa to Twins, thanks to the Yankees.

Cashman continues to show the Yankees are a poverty franchise that doesn't actually make smart big moves that would help them.

It's totally bizarro world now. Cohen is spending on the Mets and putting them in position to win even if those moves are risky, while the Yankees are pinching pennies and are acting very risk adverse.

It's like the Mets are being run like a George Steinbrenner philosophy while the Yankees are bring run like the Wilpons ran the Mets.

I hate Cashman but signing Correa makes no sense for the Yankees. We have two of the better SS prospects in the game.

Story to Red Sox.

AL and NL East are going to be bonkers this year.

 

[Irishguy42]

Can't wait for how Cashman/Steinbrenner are going to spin not being able to get Story. I swear they just float their interest out there to maintain an image of "we can if we wanted to" all the while having 0 interest in it to begin with.

Inb4 "out of budget"

They already used that excuse to sign Rizzo instead of Freeman.

As a Mets fan it’s fun to see the Yankees shopping from the Sale rack.

 

[LionsHeart]

The Yankees not spending as much is one thing, but you have to have a good farm system and play good, fundamental baseball to back that up. Their roster looks old, slow, and overly reliant on homeruns. It’s funny how they rebuilt the roster a few years ago and are now having the same problem as before.

 

[Machinehead]

Nice to see Boone in midseason form

 

[romba]

Great so mlb and players agreed to starting a man on 2nd in the 10th again. Hated that, so artificial and ‘east’ to score. At least no 7 inning double headers because a contingent of players (relievers) would be against that and it can hurt offensive power numbers too.

deGrom already dealing with a shoulder. Not good. His body just can't handle what he tries to put it through. Not to be overly dramatic, but it really feels like he's going to be severely diminished by injury for the rest of his playing days.

I guess all that stuff about "he was a SS for so long, his arm will last forever!" was just wishful thinking on our parts.

 

[tlk]

Ratso Rizzo?? Jon Voight?!! wtf...

as you were... just a bout of wrongthreaditis

I am going to become the joker

That's what his issue was last season too? He already did the rest thing which really makes you wonder how he'll get past this. Lingering problems can really limit effectiveness unfortunately.
