Robertson has had an amazing career and he's still striking guys out. Yeah, a career ERA+ of 145 is nothing to sneeze at. It's at 132 this year, so he's still doing well. He would join the Yankees' "Third Time Around" club if it happens. The Yanks have used 28 different pitchers already this year, so they might as well keep throwing more of them out there. |

The one person who will never be traded on this team is Judge. Cashman would never take the chance. Plus on a team with few offensive stars, he is their revenue stream. |

It's going to take someone of that caliber to get Crochet, even supposing the White Sox would consider trading him, and the Yanks seem heavily invested in Jones. I'd be surprised if that happens. Of course they were once that heavily invested in Jesus Montero. |

The moves the Yankees need to make are OFF-SEASON not trade deadline moves.

I think it would cost more than Jones to get Crochet, at least it would if I was the GM of the White Sox. |

OK, we know that it's not going to happen, but just for fun, what if Hal woke up pissed off this morning and fires Cash. He brings in Inger as the new GM. Inger decides he is going to tear this Team down to the studs and rebuild. He lets other GMs know that everyone is available. What kind of a haul could we get for Judge, Soto and Cole?

Only Inger can answer that one, but I think the first thing he would do would be to insist that he could only work remotely from his home office in Bug Tussle, CO and would never have to come within a thousand miles of NYC. |

I've been accused of being a prospect hugger but I would have to consider Jones for Crochet. Crochet is very good and is really young. That's the kind of return that would make me think. Much better than an expensive, aging veteran. However, I have a feeling we balk and he ends up in Baltimore. Crochet is a good pitcher but he's also spent time on the IL. The Orioles will probably top whatever offer the Yankees make, if any. |

I would trade Wells, Hampton, Peraza. But the Orioles can easily top that trade offer if they wanted to. |

Which would you prefer?
1) Boone fired
2) Soto traded and a full rebuild commences

A team with Cole, Judge, and Soto on their roster shouldn't even be thinking about rebuilding. In my opinion, the Yankees changing managers in the middle of the season isn't going to make a difference, because the Yankees will still have the same flaws and the same players on the IL.
In my opinion, if the Yankees don't make to the AL Championship Series, Hal will probably hire a new manager. Also in my opinion, that new manager isn't going to make a difference unless the Yankees fix the flaws on their team.

Trade the big three, release Stanton to play for any team he wishes. Find a good home for Gleyber, all within my first week… I’d be looking for combo trades where I’m acquiring faster, younger talent with great defensive skills. Lots of switch hitters, flexibility. Plus high minor league talent, ready to step up to MLB the next couple years. And do so from my living room. Since I’m acquiring minor league talent I’m also going to be willing to reorganize my priorities among those MiLB prospects we now have and many of them will also be sent packing. I would do dumpster dives, but only on the weekends and just for fun… I’d stir the organization as with a big stick, and the press would be abuzz about what the Yankees are doing, speculating that we’d be on the bottom for the next decade because of the “ruin” I’ve brought to the franchise. Meanwhile, the young and hungry players I’d bring in would start winning. And winning. And winning. We would never again keep a player beyond his 32nd birthday. And then they would have to beg to stay after 30. The team target would be 200 HR, 200 SB every season. No player that can’t contribute significantly to those columns would remain on the roster. Anyone making any kind of common sense error would be subject to benching for the first offense, and trade or release for the second offense. I’d demand Hal cut my budget so he and the fam can take a long vacation, like a decade and get out of my way. Then I’d start a silent takeover that would force him to sell the team to me, and give me some spending money on the side. Almost forgot about Boone. I’d replace him with artificial intelligence, and I’d hire Buck Showalter back to push the buttons and read off the answers. In honor of my friend Dome, I’d form a box. I don’t know what I’m gonna do with it yet, but I’d surely form one. Like cats, I’ve always loved boxes…in the years that I used to purchase corrugated boxes for plant packing I learned the difference in the different types of glue tabs, the strengths of different fluting, advantages of waxed boxes for some applications, creation of dividers, when to eliminate them… the difference in using cheap or deluxe quality tape, especially if you switch to automatic taping machines once you start to ship in large quantities and the financial savings that can occur if you convince your customers to receive product on shipping carts instead of buying all those boxes… Yes boxes. They can save the Yankees! I have boxing become a priority in the minors so the players would understand it when they make it to the major leagues… |
