Conforto was the last chance for a decent LF. Pittsburgh wants what we don't have via trade. Yankees are not going to give Cabrera the position in LF, so we're stuck with Hicksie, IKF and Donald Duck. In terms of established left-fielders, there are no real trade deals to be had either. The Yankees gave up a ton of pitching last season and the year before gambling on Joey Gallo. And, I hate to say it, we could use another real outfielder who can play both sides of the ball. Centerfield is supposedly locked up defensively, Bader's swing is just too mechanical to be consistent. We sort of got another Brett Gardner with Bader - at best. I liked what I saw from Bader in his short time here, but yea I dunno if how consistent it will be over a whole season we will see. |

I liked what I saw from Bader in his short time here, but yea I dunno if how consistent it will be over a whole season we will see. All we should expect from Bader is something close to average performance with the bat. The man tears it up in CF. His RF/9 was 2.67. The average NL CF is 2.39. That’s career average. He’s going to get to about 11% more balls than most CF. If the Yankees can pull a secondary offensive skill out of him, it might be to get him to take more pitches so he’ll be on base more to steal. At 29, it’s doubtful he’s going to hit much more than his .245 career average or produce more than an occasional home run burst… |

Chapman will probably go to Texas, Tampa or the Marlins.

Pirates Notes: Reynolds, Starting Pitching Reynolds handed in a trade request on December 3, but at this point remains on the Bucs’ roster, with the team reportedly setting a high asking price for the 27-year-old. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi adds a bit more depth to that, reporting Pittsburgh wants a top starting pitcher to headline the return. Morosi cites the Dodgers’ Bobby Miller and the Blue Jays’ Ricky Tiedmann – both of whom are top-40 MLB prospects – as examples of the sort of prospect they want. While both LA and Toronto could make sense as speculative fits for Reynolds, neither has been reported as in discussions with the Pirates. That’s not true of the Yankees though, and Morosi further reports that New York has been in contact with the Pirates over the past few weeks. The Yankees’ major remaining off-season need is a left-fielder so the switch-hitting Reynolds makes plenty of sense, especially given the free agent market has thinned out considerably following Andrew Benintendi and Michael Conforto finding new homes. As Morosi notes, one roadblock to a deal could be Pittsburgh’s desire for a starting pitcher to headline the deal. The Yankees’ system is headlined by position player prospects such as Anthony Volpe, Oswald Peraza and Jasson Dominguez. Their top starting pitcher prospects, according to Baseball America, are Randy Vasquez, Will Warren and Drew Thorpe, but all three project as back-of-the-rotation types rather than the frontline starter Pittsburgh is seeking. Clayton Beeter shot up New York’s prospect charts after coming over from the Dodgers in the Joey Gallo trade and would be an intriguing name to watch, but unlikely to headline any deal. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/pirates-notes-reynolds-starting-pitching-cruz.html |

WE would need to have our heads examined to make such a trade = STUPID!!! Giving away to much for Kapler (RH and getting OLD)!!!
AND THIS:
Reports: Mets also raise concerns with Carlos Correa's physical exam, pausing $315 million agreement.
