OT: NY Yankees 2025 Season Thread (Hal is cheap, Brian is dumb)

[Polk377]

We added another reliever from SF. I didn't get the name yet. Duval maybe?

39 saves for Duval a couple of years ago so he is used to late inning situations

[KnicksGadfly]

Got a win with Stroman on the mound…I’ll take that any day. De los Santos has been good for us this year.

Ben Rice deserves that 1B/back up C spot next year.

[MrDollarBills]

Cashman did good I can't complain at all

[VirginiaKnickFan]

Better hope Luis Gil returns to form because the starters are shaky.

[KnicksGadfly]

Cashman did good I can't complain at all

Yah, I'm pretty happy with it. We kept most of our top guys. Schittler, Jones, Lombard are still around. Replacing Peraza at bats will be huge. Some Volpe insurance. Goodbye to Devin Williams and his choking next year.

Right now, we're gonna see if Boone can deliver. Lots of platoon guys. Versatile players too.

Still need Judge to come back healthy in the worst way. A lot of the relievers we got had some bumps in their journey, so hopefully they keep going.

Think we're going to sit out the next offseason, I'm guessing. Rice, Jazz, McMahon seem fine. I'd love to upgrade Volpe but I guess he might become a Lombard placeholder at this rate. Belli, Judge, Jasson. Can't see them going after Kyle Tucker.

[KnicksGadfly]

Heard the Blue Jays wanted Doval bad too. I think we had a better trade deadline than they did. Now it's up to the team to finish the job.

[Butch718]

Still needed another starter, but the bullpen is gonna be filthy and they have a lot of versatility on the roster. Need Judge to come back healthy.

We added a lot of talent on controllable contracts. The offseason will be about securing any small weak areas and coming back in 2026 with this entire roster at full strength

[Jalen Bluntson]

Well... Boone has the ingredients. He's in the spotlight now. We have positional depth. Gil coming back should help a lot if he's ready. We have bullpen depth. 15 RHPs and 1 lefty is odd but, there's no excuses now. Boone needs to put it all together and make it work.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Hopefully Mark Leiter Jr gets cut!! No room for him!!

[KnicksGadfly]

I think they see Leiter, Bird, and Devin similarly...dudes who have had bad luck. I don't know...Leiter and Devin seem like huge ass chokers to me, and Leiter for more than a season.

[KnicksGadfly]

It’s getting into mid season and the Mets are beginning to find out that Clay Holmes is trash. Wait til they move him to the bullpen lol

We warned them

Frankie Montas too this is like that period of time when the Mavs kept signing the Knicks' scrubs

I don't get the Williams hate. He's only blown two saves this year? 17/19 It was a slow start but, he went 21 innings without giving up a HR. I missed a lot of the early games though. Was he that bad?

We have a deep pen now. He shouldn't be a problem anymore whatever it was.

Leiter sucked from day one.

Bird offers a lot of breaking stuff from what I'm hearing. He's another arm but, not are what to get from him.

I think the best way to put it is that he went 21 innings like that, but still has a 5.0 ERA. I think you are right about the home run statistic though. Usually when he loses, it's because he's allowing a bunch of singles and walks. When we almost lost that game against the Rays the other night, I was like...yep, Devin Williams. He's not the only guy who struggled initially, but at least someone like Bellinger has legit turned his season around.

I think the statistics feel misleading here, and I'm shocked he only is credited with 2 blown saves right now. He definitely lost us a lot of games before his first blown save on 4/25. For example, on 5/5, he loaded the bases, got taken out for Luke Weaver, and then we would lose the game cause Weaver gave up a hit. Somehow, he'd got credited with a hold for that when he was responsible for that loss. Or on 4/19, when he got charged with 3 earned runs in late innings, and we ended up losing in extra innings, but somehow he didn't get a statistic for that.

I do feel much better that there are better relievers around though.

Fair enough. I missed a lot of the first two months. Hopefully he gets it together and we can trust him. We have Weaver/Bednar/Doval to use in that spot if/when needed.

Yah. Bednar doesn’t walk a lot of people, which is pretty nice. I’m just spoiled by Mo and Dave Robertson, tbh.

Boone said Williams is the closer still and it looks like FO thinks he’s been extraordinarily unlucky so we’ll see, I guess.

Boone is a moron.

[knicks94]

I'll wait until October before I start building a statue for Cashman.

[MrDollarBills]

Williams is the closer....for now.

[knicks94]

Williams is the closer....for now.

Of course he is because getting rid of him would be admitting that he was a bad move, something that this front office doesn't want to acknowledge.
