I wonder if this trade means that the Yanks believe DJ LeMahieu could be out of action longer than anticipated. |

I am ok with the move. I thought Moustakas would have been a better fit only because I am always open to a LH power hitter. But Berti adds a speed element that the Yankees can use and can play SS/

Giving up a prospect for a 34 year old? Not my kind of trade! 
Now, as to the overall strategy...this trade is fine if the front office has a good handle on where this team is and believes its chance of serious contention are solid. But if, as I believe, the front office is overrating this team without Cole, then this trade is a waste of time and a small (at this point) but tangible asset. We'll see if I'm right or they are in the next 2-3 months.
One more thing: this trade shows that no matter what Boone and Cashman say, they have no faith that Cabrera can hit major league pitching often enough to hold a position for even a month.Yep, the more I see Cabrera the less I like him. |

I don’t expect this one will get worn out much… |

The Yankees are trading for some infield help. Berti has played most of his career with the Marlins and had a .344 OBP last season. It would have been nice if the Yankees didn't have to trade Cruz. But I understand why they made a win now trade. I always liked Berti because he's versatile and he pretty fast on the basepaths. |

I hope not.

Berti doesn't have a lot of power but he's fast, stealing 41 bags in 2022 and 16 last year. Him and Volpe should be fun on the base paths. Plays good Defense too.
Yep, I forgot about his defense. In my opinion, the Yankees are a better team today than they were yesterday. |

The law firm of Burdi, Berti and Beeter. Now that is brilliant. Desousa wins the internet today, we are taking no further entries. |

It's okay Kaybli. You've already ruined Ann-Margret for me forever. You can't hurt me anymore.  |
