Bassitt was one of my pitching targets from Oakland. I'm still hoping for Olson and Manaea. |

It will be interesting to see if the yankees spend much more money. The stanton and cole contract make it difficult.

Man, it sure looks like the A's got fleeced in the Bassitt deal. I'd have been a little more patient and tried to get more.

The Yankees are probably working on trying to get back Jonathan Davis.
The one advantage New York has over other teams is money, and yet Hal behaves like he's the leader of a mid-market club. The Bronx has a ball park that is made - historically - for left-handed hitters, yet the roster is dominated by right-handed position players. Cashman stated that he wanted the ball club to be more balanced and athletic, so during a pennant race he sends down both Esteban Florial and Greg Allen, both of whom were playing well and adding excitement to the club.
At the end of the year, the Yankees finally realize that Gleyber Torres is not a true shortstop and moved a third baseman in Gio Urshela to shortstop and a second baseman in Rougned Odor to third base. Then, Boone sits a red-hot Tyler Wade on the bench - a left-handed, athletic, speedster who plays shortstop. During the offseason, Cashman lets go of Tyler Wade and Andrew Velazquez for nothing - the last two shortstops on the roster.
A few years ago, Pittsburgh wanted Miguel Andujar and Clint Frazier in a trade for Gerrit Cole. Cashman nixed the deal, and Cole went on to deliver a World Series to the Houston Astros. Last offseason, Cashman released Frazier for nothing and will likely do the same with Andujar very soon.
Old George Steinbrenner isn't looking so bad lately.

I keep waiting for Cashman to make a good move to reverse some of that ill feeling.
Still waiting.......

The White Sox have a nice strong pen. Kelly, Graveman, Hendriks, Kimbrel, Kopech, Ruiz, and Bummer. A lot of quality arms for sure. |
