Hard to get on a 21 year old rookie being overwhelmed at times.You live and die with your best,and he was 1 of our best all season.

Stanton is what he is. He homers or he's out.

There's no reason Didi, Torres, and Gary should be that. They're better hitters than that. That's coaching.

Bird imploding really hurt this team. Left handed power is a must in YS.

Hoping they don't just come to camp with just Voit and Bird for first base, and I like everyone else love Luke, but he's a guy in his late 20's who had a great month.

Who is available for 1B and LF? Preferably both left handed. Cashman needs to remember what stadium his team plays in.

I believe Machado will be a Yankee. I like it mainly down to the fact that Andujar at 3B severely hinders our team defense. Machado is arguably the best non-Chapman defensive 3B in the league. Defense was a big issue this season.

Andujar will need to re-learn playing 1B if he isn't traded for a high end ace like a Bumgarner/deGrom.

Cashman needs to do everything in his power to answer the Red Sox trade for Chris Sale. Elite farm system, need to do something big pitching wise to compete with the best team in the league.

If you can find a team trying to go full Padres, then dump Stanton's contract if you can. Don't need him as Hicks and Judge are better and we have high upside OFers coming through the ranks. Gardner won't be moved, he's a Yankee for life.

CC should call it a career. He'll go into the HOF as a Yankee. Could easily make another $20-30m if he wanted to though.

Try to re-sign Cutch if he comes really cheap. Move on from 1 of Britton or DRob unless they take discounts.

The UFA market is terrible for 1st basemen, even like the vets on a 1 year deal. The Jays have an 8 million dollar team option on Smoak for 1 more year, could see if they decline that or if they look to trade him since I'm guessing they are rebuilding.

Could probably have Daniel Murphy fake first base, but his defense is absolutely hideous, and is older coming back from that bad surgery, really good hitter though.

Not a fan. We have enough .250 hitters.

Murphy would be the second best hitter on our team.

Pretty big decision on Didi is coming soon that they need to discuss. Turns 29 in February, last year of arbitration, you paying him for his age 30-35 seasons, or is the smart move to trade him for pitching, and put Gleyber at his natural position.

I love Didi, been a really good Yankee, was an excellent Jeter replacement, but the Yanks have punted this decision off for a long time, and now are down to his last arb season.
