Isn’t that a definition of a job with the federal government?

Yes. But not always in the private sector.

Gio Urshela at SS, come on down!

Yep. Just bring back the entire 2021 2nd WC team back with no changes.

That's alright, they'll be better in 2022.

Except they had 3 months of unhittable Cole last season. Will they have that this season?

He'll be unhittable for 6 months+.

Ok, I'm back to obsessing over an Olson/Manaea deal. Get them both and sign Trevor Story, and the Yanks become a division contender along with the Jays/Rays/Sox.

Since the A's traded Bassitt - does that mean that they're about to clean house?

What's it going to cost the Yanks to get one year of Sean Manaea?

He's projected to throw about 160 innings if he's healthy. He'll give up a HR every 9 innings or so, and he'll walk less then 3 per 9IP also. I think he's projected to make about $10M in arbitration

I think he fits in the rotation well, especially as a lefty. If he's in the rotation, then Nester Cortes isn't - which I'm fine with. I think Nester can be the Ramiro Mendoza of this club. - a valuable swing man that can be put in several roles.

You have to figure an Olson-Manaea deal is seriously being discussed by both clubs. The A's is reportedly insisting on Volpe in any Olson deal. That's where Cashman must answer "ok we'll include Volpe and some other pieces (Gleyber, Voit, German, Gill or Medina, Andujar?) but you need to include Manaea."
.
One-stop shopping and then signing Trevor Story seems like it could/should be done.

IMO there's some truth to this. The Yankee offense certainly stuttered and struggled scoring runs throughout the whole season.

I think they were a better team than what their offensive results showed.

I am more worried about their defense.

Because I have faith in Cole!

So we have our best 2Bman at 3B, our best 3Bman at SS, a guy who struggles in the field at 2B, and a guy who can't play 1B at 1B.

...and teams are making moves right and left since the lockout ended. I don't think Brian has the brains to wiggle out of this roster mess he created.

Well, I'm being tongue-in-cheek with my comments this morning.

Remember when Cashman thought it was smart to give Chapman and Britton a combined 32m dollars? That's Correa level money locked into little to no value.

Why should he care? It's not like his job is in any type of jeopardy.
