The 20 year old rookie Wander Franco was locked up by the Tampa Bay Rays for the next 11 to 12 years. In another report, the Yankees sent Aaron Judge a Costco fruit basket.  |

Interesting take on the DFA of Tyler Wade. yanksgoyard.com/2021/11/23/yankees-tyler-wade-vs-andrelton-simmons-freddy-galvis/"The argument here isn’t that Tyler Wade should be the starting shortstop in 2022. It’s that neither should Galvis, Iglesias, or Simmons, a reality that’s seeming likelier every day." This is my fear, which is why I posited a platoon of Simmons and Didi. Remember when the Yankees actually used their monetary advantage? |

If one of those guys end up being the Yankees starting SS's in the greatest year of free agency the position has ever seen, then maybe the Yankees really are lost? |

Man, when you put it that way, it sounds even worse. It's like they've forgotten they're the Yankees. |

Blue Jays BLEW this = Sad, they could have used him for their run for Division Championship???!!!
Judge should tell the Yanks "Beard I Play...no beard no Play" It is time the Yanks stop thinking it is the 1950's and Vault into the today's REALITY!!!
YES, they made a huge mistake--will see during the season.
Did the Yankees Make a Mistake Trading Tyler Wade?

I appreciate the no-beard policy and being able to see the players’ faces, which separates the Yankees from every other MLB team. Vive la difference! Why should every team’s fans have to endure the current fad of bird’s nest facial hair? It’s not the 1850s in some mining town. Kudos to the Yankees’ tradition! |

Yeah seeing a Players complete face is critical for the Rabid Yankee Fans (giggling)--Going to the WS and winning the WS NOT so much!!! Giggling.
With this signing the White Sox will have Hendricks, Kimbrel & Graveman; we should see if theyu are Interested in Chapman (chances are in 2022 off-season he will be FA and of course we will get ZIP for him...more giggles.
Reliever Kendall Graveman reportedly is signing with White Sox on 3-year deal.
TEQUILA has me in Tears:
First she played off Rizz's Post about the Tradition of Clean Shaved = "Today sadly OUR main tradition is LOSING" AND: "Judge is coming up to bat but the Fans are hooting & hollering for they do not recognize who this player is because of the Beard..."
Shit I am laughing so hard; and then this:
Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Yanks picked up this Wade look a like?
"...Astudillo, 30, made his big league debut with the Twins back in 2018 and has since displayed an uncommon skill set and fairly rare level of defensive versatility.
“La Tortuga” has played every position on the diamond, with the exception of shortstop. Astudillo worked as a catcher and corner infielder with the Phillies in his early days as a prospect and has continued to add more positions to his defensive profile. He’s not considered a plus defender anywhere, but Astudillo embodies the “jack of all trades, master of none” profile quite well.
More interesting is Astudillo’s unorthodox skill set at the plate. As free a swinger as there is in the game, the right-handed-hitting Astudillo also possesses uncanny bat-to-ball skills.
He’s struck out just 25 times in 533 career plate appearances (4.7%), but his frequent hacking has led to an even smaller 1.9% walk rate. Astudillo has a bit of raw power, but he swings so early and so often, with such high contact rates, that he rarely finds himself in position to get a pitch to drive.
Since 2018 (min. 500 plate appearances), Astudillo has the third-highest swing rate (60.1%) of any player in baseball and the second-highest contact rate (91.5%) — trailing only his now-former teammate Luiz Arraez in that regard.
Astudillo was arbitration-eligible and projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn a $1.2MM salary in 2022. Coming off a .236/.259/.375 slash in 216 plate appearances, however, it seems the Twins preferred not to allocate those dollars or a 40-man roster spot to him — particularly with so many prospects needing to be added to the 40-man roster. (Minnesota selected six players Friday.) Astudillo can now sign with any team."
THANKS RIZZ FOR THE GOOD Tradition Clean Shaved LAUGHS!!!

As far as the Yankee hair policy, it's their right. By the way, if I was getting paid as much as they are, I'd wear a pink tutu if they told me to.

So, you believe the Yankees would have won the World Series if they only had beards? I think Tequila is laughing at you, not me!  |
