The Yankees still have one of the better bullpens in the majors.

But if the Jays can somehow make it to the playoffs, the pitching is ready.

Have to wonder if the lack of depth in the lineup is affecting Vlad and Kirk. Also have to wonder if the change in culture - away from Latin American - is having a negative impact.
Does every team have to have a Latin "culture" to succeed? I thought having good players, Latin or otherwise, is enough. It also doesn't explain why Chapman - post April - is actually tracking less than he was last year. Merrifield is having a nice age 35 season, and Bo his best ever. Was a Latin culture holding them back last season? I doubt it. Is Schneider holding Vlad back?
At a certain point, champions can have fun, but it's about the adults in the room playing up to form.

Have never seen anybody choke at the plate as much as this guy has.

The Yankees are in the market for a third baseman, and are rumoured to be making a strong play to get Chapman in the off-season. It would be great if that is the case. They will get rid of one ex-Jay in Josh Donaldson and his overpaid contract, and be stuck with Matt Chapman for many years. I am sure Yankees fans will enjoy seeing Chapman get hits with no runners on base, and struggle in high leverage situations. His defense is not what it once was, when he excelled in that area back in 2018. Hopefully, Boras can squeeze 6 years of out of New York, and the Yankees get saddled with another bad contract.

lol, Chapman’s camp is likely to push for $150M+ in this bare market
And he'll get it. There are very few 3B as good as him.

I don’t think hes as good offensively as his numbers suggest, and also don’t think he’ll age well defensively.
Nevertheless I do think he’ll get his money - hopefully not from the Jays

The numbers suggest that he's an above average hitter and an elite defender. That is a very productive player.

People here are consumed by recency bias. They think hes a bad defender in big moments, even though theres no actual proof of that. Hes one of the best defenders in the MLB. The bat has been an issue this season but hes always been a streaky hitter. These same people were bringing up Chapman in MVP conversations in April for the same reason (recency bias)

It'll be tough retaking that third WC spot. Seattle is blistering hot, while we are ice cold.
Seattle is going to pass Houston very shortly at the rate Julio is going right now. Jays are probably gonna miss out to 2 AL West teams.

Recency in this case is four lean months after one great month.

People keep saying this. He is a streaky player, always has been, but it isn't true that he only had one good month. Take a look at his July. He is the same player he has always been.

Just saw the news today. They ACTUALLY listed him as Day to Day with "left finger discomfort"???? LMAO! Holy christ this league is soft. We are in the middle of a tightly contested playoff race! Tape that finger up and get back into the lineup ffs! Hockey players out there playing an actual physical sport with broken sternums, broken hands, broken legs, and here we have guys that barely move sitting out because of finger "discomfort". Christ almighty.
