Yankees has to look toward 2025 where Soto might be cost prohibitive to retain as Soto and Verdugo will be going elsewhere. That's when Yankees will be looking at Dominquez/Grisham in OF. With FA Soto, Torres, and Rizzo, Yankees will not be able to retain both Soto and Torres as they look to replace Rizzo.
What's happening with Oswald Peraza? Any chance we'll be seeing him this season?

Given our history of injuries you can't have enough OF.

stanton was a remarkably dumb decision as it turned out. Like giving andujar a 5 year contract because he had a great start would have been. Wow ... what amazing hindsight you have ! Actually I never was thrilled about it as long time posters can verify  |

Lauren
Here is the latest news on him from MLB.com
INF Oswald Peraza (right sub-scapular strain)
Expected return: April/May
The Yankees have placed Peraza on the injured list on Opening Day, retroactive to March 25th. Peraza has resumed hitting and is expected to resume throwing on April 3rd, which could pose a bigger test. Peraza had initially been advised to take 3 to 4 weeks off without tossing.
Peraza underwent an MRI on March 7th and a dye-contrast arthrogram on March 8th, which showed a strain in the 23-year-old’s shoulder. His shoulder issues began on Feb. 25th, though he returned to the lineup on March 5th, playing2 games before being shut down again. (Last updated: April 2nd)

Wow ... what amazing hindsight you have ! Actually I never was thrilled about it as long time posters can verify Day 1 of the Stanton trade I thought ... why not? We gave up nothing and as long as this doesnt prevent us from signing Harper (it did) it could be fun The first time I saw Stanton swing a bat (I never really watched him prior) and found out that he would be primarily a DH ... I wanted the Yankees to do everything possible, every year since, to get rid of him. Including eating some/half/most/all of his contract Andujar on the other hand ... He was young and his bat was electric as a rookie. No one can say that, had he not been injured, he wouldnt have well exceeded the value of a 5 year contract extension. Would have made huge sense for Gleyber as well. |

With FA Soto, Torres, and Rizzo, Yankees will not be able to retain both Soto and Torres as they look to replace Rizzo. Rizzo can be replaced with an in-house player (Rice?). With him, Dominguez, Jones, Volpe, Wells, Cabrera & Peraza (?) that's a very inexpensive group of players. |

Any chance we'll be seeing him this season? The Yankees are on the hook for about $ 160 M for salaries to Judge, Cole, Rodon, Stanton, Stroman and DJ. A decision to retain Soto and Torres is a decision by Hal to pay the LT "forever". Keeping both and adding in the cost of benefits gets you to the LT for 2025 ($241 M) What we don't know is whether that makes $$$ sense for the Yankees. For all I know the Yankees are profitable with a $300 M payroll or even at $400 M. |

stanton was a remarkably dumb decision as it turned out. Like giving andujar a 5 year contract because he had a great start would have been. Andujar was never the same player after the shoulder injury. Injuries are always a risk. So this afternoon Anthony Volpe reached out to Cashman and offered to sign a 10 year, $140 M contract. What should Cashman do ? |

For all I know the Yankees are profitable with a $300 M payroll or even at $400 M. I really think that MLB needs to consider a big hike to the LT threshold. I haven't done a deep dive but it seems salaries are rising faster than the LT. I also think the floor needs to be raised and there sholdn't be such a big gap between the teams unwilling to spend and the top spenders. |

DJ - 2 years / $15M/$15M. |

I am waiting to see how this plays out. If we lose Soto and Dugo next season and the 2025 OF is Dominguez and Grisham with Stanton as DH. That is an epic fail for Cashman.
Everyone is Yankee Universe knows the best thing for this team is to dump Stanton but because of the contract he isn't going anyplace. We just have to deal with it and see another quality player go because of it.

Had we signed Andujar those with a good rear view mirror would still be barking about how dumb it was to sign him. GM’s can’t win…it’s more a guessing game than anything g else… |

I'm a huge DJ fan...have been since his days with the Rox. I've always liked Rizzo & Verdugo seems to be a good fit now. But from a talent perspective...would replacing all 3 in '25 with young, inexpensive home-grown players really be a downgrade?

Dominguez and Jones could be special players for a decade or they could flop. I do feel they will be big pieces in the future but just don't want to bet the ranch on it. Soto was built for Yankee stadium and this team. It's only been 7 games but he is a special player.
When they signed Stanton I didn't think we needed him but did thing he would be the piece to put us over the top. I did want Harper also. He went from HOF to .200 hitting DH that can't run. I will never be happy until he is GONE.
Andujar had a great bat his rookie year but he was horrible in the field and was not improving. He was a DH with no position on a team full of DHs.
