New York Yankees Thread

[KnicksGadfly]

how does cashman still have a job when he keeps doing clown **** despite having more money to play around with than most gms out there?

I have read the book inside the empire, and the Yankees since George was gone, are satisfied with making the playoffs they see the playoffs as anything can happen. Yes of course thats true but just a very poor mentality to have while the Dodgers have a never be satisfied attitude. I think Cashman likes to try and outdo his friend Billy Beane in finding trash and turning it into gold. Not saying the Yankees dont wanna win a world series it just their attitude is make the playoffs, while the Dodgers attitude is championship or bust.

You dont commit almost 700 millions in stanton and Cole just the goal of making the playoffs.

You must be confusing us with the Dodgers

No,there is a difference between how much you are willing to spend to win the championship vs happy with just making the playoffs.

Yankees add another bullpen arm.

The Yankees have won the New York battle for veteran reliever Justin Wilson.

The lefty agreed to a deal with the Yankees on Monday, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed, after also receiving interest from the Mets.

The terms of the deal, which is pending a physical, were not immediately clear.

Wilson, 33, pitched for the Mets the past two seasons and spent the 2015 season in The Bronx.

Wilson pitched to a 2.91 ERA in 58 ²/₃ innings over his two seasons with the Mets. In what has been a fairly quiet offseason for the Yankees, Wilson joins Darren O’Day as additions to the Yankees bullpen.

Guess who's back.

Trade Clint to San Diego or something.

[blue and orange]

I actually dont mind signing Gardner, given our history with injuries to Stanton, Judge and Hicks and will we get the 2019 Tauchman or 2020, competition is good as it helps elevate guys performances. Your only a couple injuries from starting the next Shane Robinson. My problem is Gardner taking playing time away from Clint. Gardner shouldn't be guaranteed a spot on the roster and paying him 4 mill thats my issue especially and no one bidding for his services. Should only be here for competition and have to earn his spot on the roster not handed his spot.

If Boone gives Gardner the starting job over Frazier I don't know what to say.

Cashman seems to be completely enamored with players that he’s helped create, whether they are overrated prospects or washed up veterans like Gardner. Guys like Bernie,Jeter and Arod were all thrown under the bus since Cashman had no part in their development.

Or Cash is keeping an above-average defender with a left handed bat that helps balance the lineup, played a leadership role in the clubhouse for a decade, plays multiple positions, and can backup an eternally injured and uneven outfield on a club friendly deal.

$4 million dollars for a .223 hitting 4th outfielder? Left handed hitting 4th outfielders are expendable.

CC Sabathia was a leader and a great clubhouse guy that the Yankees kept bringing back when he was way past his prime, how many championships did the Yankees win as a result of it? The belief that a team has to have great personalities to win championships is an overrated concept.

$4 million is not a lot of money for a part time player with versatility. Gardner had a down year in a 60 game season. He also hit .370 in the postseason and hit 28 HRs in 2019. Don't really see how this deal is bad or takes away playing time from Frazier.

Gardner should finish his career with the Yankees and then join the team as a coach or minor league instructor, unless he has his other ideas for his retirement. It’s difficult to imagine him playing in a different uniform.

Dude treated Bernie Williams like ****, while treating Aaron Hicks like the second coming of Mantle.

F*ck Cashman

That makes little sense. Cashman had no problem letting go cano and Melky Cabrera. he had no problem letting go top prospects like Sheffield and Montero. In fact it is the fans that always complain when we trade away prospects for established players.

Very good chance German is cut . Got britton critzing him. Got the media all over it

As for gardner. No doubt he was coming back. Its to easy to predict. He just better not be gifted a starting spot

Ill wait to see what happens and try not to jump to conclusions. Britton was asked a question and answered it honestly I respect him for that. I believe there is a lot of anger still from the clubhouse and rightfully so. German cost his team the last 2 years especially ruining a night at the CC gala and ultimately costing the team a world series as he was the Yankees best pitcher in 2019 and owned the Astros would Yankees have won it all who knows. German made a very selfish decision that cost his team in CC last year, injury you can't control a bad performance on the field is one thing. I dont think German has talked to his team yet, he owes them big time and the team will need him.

Yep, Cashman gave Bernie a minor league deal, with incentives I believe, just absolutely insulting better off not offering him a deal. Bernie batted .281 in 2006 and played in 131 games and was willing to comeback as a part time player. Thats the problem Cashman is just not consistent with his approach. I understand that you dont wanna go over the luxury tax ok fine but then you go out and sign Ellsbury and make the Stanton deal which has impacted us from getting another ace type of pitcher or someone like Arenado.
