I think he fits without trading anyone away. Starters: C Wells 1B Diaz 2B Torres 3B Chisholm SS Volpe LF Verdugo CF Judge RF Soto DH Stanton Bench: C Narváez (until Trevino is back) IF LeMahieu (washed but the contract means he sticks) OF Grisham IF Cabrera Bench is definitely crowded. This assumes we send Ben Rice back to AAA, which is kind of a tough break but it is what it is. If they think Chisholm can play SS when Volpe sits then they could send Cabrera down instead. The tougher variables are what to do when Rizzo and/or Dominguez is back. It's a bit of a log jam if no one is on the IL to accommodate them. Like I mentioned, they can get by with Cabrera going down to make room if they're ok with Chisholm as the backup SS for in-game emergencies (if Volpe missed time they'd need to do a roster move though). Honestly, if they acquire, Diaz then Rizzo could probably just be DFA'd or left on the IL. Grisham is nice to keep as a defensive replacement, but I wouldn't sweat DFA'ing him either. DJ has been dreadful and maybe they could do a phantom IL stint. The most "painful" outcome I see would be that you have to leave Rice in AAA, DFA Rizzo now vs. declining his option in the offseason, and DFA Grisham rather than keep him as a defensive replacement. That would be to keep the same 4-man bench and starting lineup I listed above except Dominguez takes Grisham's roster spot (and probably Verdugo's starting position, otherwise they'd leave him in AAA). None of that seems like much of a deterrent to me. Sorta assumes Rizzo is done, but maybe. The other thing is that rosters expand to 28 players on Sept 1st. One of the 2 extra spots goes to a pitcher but they'll add one more position player as well to get up to 14. Rizzo isn't even eligible to come off the DL until August 18th I believe. Just delay him a bit under 2 weeks and now you have an extra bench spot as well. |

Yanks have finally posted their starting lineup, and Verdugo and Torres are both in it. Verdugo batting leadoff, and Torres 6th. For what it's worth.
Stanton sitting, Grisham back in center, Judge at DH

Would you include Spencer Jones in a deal for Yandy Diaz or Jack Flaherty? That's what it will probably take. I would. I'm not sold on Spencer.

Cashman was unwilling to make the big move in the off-season except offering Yamamoto a contract he wasn't taking. Cashman refused to make a big move in Spring Training when Cole went down. Cashman refused to make a big move early in the season. What makes people think he would do it today?
His ego that he is smarter than everyone else and will find a dumpster gem is to high.

If Soto was signed, yes and no. Because Flaherty is not a stranger to the IL.

Pirates gets ex-Yankee Isian Kiner-Falefa from the Jays, for a minor league outfielder Charles McAdoo, who was not in the Pirates top 40 from last month at Fangrpahs, but Longerhagen did include him in the "tweener outfielder" list under the top 40 list itself: "Most of this group is comprised of power-over-hit types who we don’t think will make enough contact to sustain big league-level offense. Gorski, Bowen, McAdoo and Maguire all fall into this bucket. McAdoo is a 22-year-old who had a great couple of months in high-A this year, and was promoted to AA where he's doing well, both nothing special: .269/.347/.490 with 29 K and 13 BB in 118 PA.

Would you include Spencer Jones in a deal for Yandy Diaz or Jack Flaherty? That's what it will probably take. I would. I'm not sold on Spencer. Don't think so for Diaz for a childish reason. The Rays would fix him, and he'd torment the Yanks for 5-10 years. For Flaherty....maybe...dubious. Again, when heathy, he's good, but he's not always healthy, and he's not an impact guy. And also for this reason: because Jones' value is way down now. Maybe he never gains command of the zone, in which case, you've blown a chance to trade him for SOMETHING of value, but if they're going to trade him, they shouldn't do it while his value is down. The Rays literally run their organization on that as well as selling average players or slightly above average players when their value is highest, relying on their elite farm to have replacement ready. |
