Hold the line Chicago! We're all supporting you. Make the Yanks PAYYYYYYY - Jones and Jasson Domínguez!

 

Can't see both but would be funny if they gave up Jones for Cease and then his arm blew up too

It's a new forum and almost a new year. Not directing at anyone in particular, but can everyone at least attempt to turn over a new leaf and stop with the constant bickering? We are all too old for th

Flaherty and Profar would both be good signings. High upside and no QO attached. They'd be my targets. But Pivetta and Tony Taters (Santander) are almost underrated at this point. The QOs suck bu

I feel that's literally giving a GM no credit, where credit is due. He doesn't just print contracts for people to sign who want to play here.   I think there's a lot of reasons players choose not to

Cashman's last few years of futility is catching up to him big time. Just the last two years of trades alone (Donaldson, Gallo, Montas, Montgomery/Bader) have been horrendous, and then factor in signing LeMahieu to a long ass contract, Hicks (who was released with years left on his deal), taking ten years of Stanton's contract (still has 4 years left and he was sub replacement level last season), signing Rodon to a 6 year deal rather than giving him a pillow contract the year before, etc. It's just a horribly constructed roster with a bloated payroll.

 

This was really their year with Soto an impending FA (he'll either leave or get $500m+ further depleting their financial flexibility....Hal is not George). They can't afford to lose Cole or Judge, much less both, for any extended period of time.

And yet, somehow theyll still win 85 games after trading for Cease and not giving up the stud OF in the process

The fact that they finished over .500 last season is incredible with the lineups they were throwing out there. They'll probably still find a way to be competitive regardless knowing them.

Yeah, sounds like Judge has an oblique issue, if they were smart they should shut him down till he's right. So many times we've seen guys try to play through it, and it ends up two three times worst.

Judge himself said it wasn't an oblique. My money is on sports hernia

Yet everyone's guessing it as it's close to his ab area, either way, no bueno.

Yeah, Cole's elbow was probably 100% until he saw Daniel pimp that home run. Then Cole probably got a little maddy saddy and did a big Arthur fist clench grrr arrrgh and his ligament popped

Looks like the Yankees rotation is crumbling before our very eyes?

 

Too bad there is still pitchers like Montgomery and Snell still sitting on the shelf.

 

Even guys like German, Lorenzon and Clevinger could be had for probably very little cost or term.

They're so far into the luxury tax they'd have to pay a ton in penalties for adding the salaries those guys want

NY Post:

 

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will be out at least one-to-two months and will head to Los Angeles for an appointment with noted sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, The Post has learned.

 

Several Yankees doctors and ElAttrache have viewed Cole’s preliminary film, and while none has detected a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament, there’s enough concern about the ligament that ElAttrache has suggested an in-person visit.

 

Word is that the defending AL Cy Young Award winner will be out for an “extended period,” although for now, the hope and belief is that Cole has a chance to return sometime in May or early June.

That is a weird update.

 

Is the ligament stretched? Coming off the bone? Highly inflamed?

 

It's probably torn and the Yankees are just in denial.

The Danny Burgers signing is worth it even more now. Him pimping that dinger against Cole had a butterfly effect and we now have TJ for Cole.

Boras really screwed over his FA's this year. 3 of his high profile clients are still free agents and it's almost the end of spring training.

He's a horrible agent.
