Twins grab Vazquez for three years. He's probably an upgrade over Sanchez.  Of course he’s an upgrade. The Yankees didn’t fill his head with “baggage”… imagine the Yankees, benching a guy that wasn’t in a slump but wasn’t hitting… |

This post made me recall a trade from 1964, when Bob Uecker was traded by the Braves for Jimmie Coker and Gary Kolb. I remember that Kolb was a catcher, though in reality he was a super utility-type who was a third string/emergency catcher. So, technically not three catchers in one trade, but still amusing that Uecker could command two players in exchange for his services… I remember back when Uecker was a player reading stories about how teams would keep him around just because he was so entertaining. I never knew what that was about until he began his broadcasting career. It worked better in those days when teams often carried three catchers. Some of Uecker’s best work was in those Budweiser commercials. “Looks like I got a seat in the front row”… His TV series was unwatchable… Good baseball announcer… |

He had the HOF players crying with laughter. Even the normally serious-looking Eddie Murray was doubling over. And no notes. When he is serious, he is a very perceptive broadcaster. One of the all-time great baseball characters. |

The Yankees offseason continues with impactful shortstop decision.
... And according to Michael Kay on The Michael Kay Show, the Yankees are not in on arguably the best shortstop available, Carlos Correa.
As much as this might irritate plenty of the Yankees fanbase, it’s hard to call it a surprise, as it falls in line with the strategy the team put forth last offseason, when it had first spurned Correa and acquired Kiner-Falefa.
It also showcases confidence in the team’s young guns, Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe.
We’ve already heard from Hal Steinbrenner in an interview with the YES Network that he plans to have those two players in the middle infield for the 2023 MLB season. However, we won’t know until manager Aaron Boone comes through on that.
...In the end, I think letting the younger players come in and prove themselves is the right move. No matter what the Yankees brass wants to say about Kiner-Falefa, he was a stopgap, and in the worst-case scenario that he is the starter next season, he will be that as well. He’s not a long-term solution; everyone watching the games already knows that.
The Yankees still have choices to make, and there are still very impactful players to choose from on the shortstop market. From a fan’s perspective, what do you think they should do? Should they stay with their internal options, play their young guns, and see what they can bring to the table? Or should Cashman pursue a more known entity with verifiable proof they can produce at the absolute highest levels?

Giants Grab TWO SP.
Giants land former Dodgers’ hurler amid Carlos Rodon free agency interest
Story by Karl Rasmussen • 1h ago
The San Francisco Giants have had a busy past two days, actively working the free-agency market in order to buff up their starting rotation. After agreeing to a two-year deal with Sean Manaea on Monday, the Giants struck again while the iron was hot and came to terms on a two-year deal with former Dodgers and Blue Jays pitcher Ross Stripling. Via Jeff Passan, the deal is identical to that of Manaea’s with Stripling headed to the Giants on a two-year, $25 million contract.
