Farewell Sir Didi. You exceeded all expectations taking over for Derek Jeter and will be missed. Good luck down the turnpike.

Going to miss Didi... so effing clutch for us. Moving Gleyber to short and DJ to 2nd makes too much sense though.

Personally, while I liked Didi... I doubt I'll miss him. That dude never met a 1st pitch he didn't like. He was FRUSTRATING during the league championship series

We will definitely miss Didi. Great locker room guy and a very good player but it’s just the business aspect didn’t line up to keep him unfortunately. I wish him the best.

Didi and the Yankees kind of ended on a sour note for such a fan favorite player.

Love Didi, hope the best for him in Philly. Giardi's doing a great job recreating the 2017 team.

Cant be as frustrating as watching Gardner bats 3rd. Gardner playoffs obp is .260 vs .didi's .310.

Crazy money and years that he can't possibly live up to but the Yankees needed him. I called this signing (not the contract) a few months ago. Cashman has wanted Cole since he was in HS and put all his eggs in this basket. Maybe a main reason they stayed away from Harper and Machado last offseason. Great pickup for the Yankees...helps them, hurts Houston, immediately makes them big favorites.

Cole
Severino
Tanaka
Paxton

Looks pretty formidable in October, especially with our lineup and bullpen behind it.


Great job by Cash and Hal to open up the checkbook!
