Lol, man, Hal really knows how to shake things up and send a message. He's must have some real fire in his belly to (checks notes) fire the 1st and 3b coaches.

I 100% wouldn't put it past Cashman to hire people he could easily blame.I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, when they said "sit down" I stood up.

Originally posted by False1 View PostIt depends a lot on the assets. The Yankees need to move some guys and can't promote/protect them all.
Olson just had a season that Rizzo would have been proud of 7 years ago in his prime. Olson is 5 years younger than Rizzo, who appears to have gone from great to good at this stage of his career. If there's some better value they can get by trading the right chips, I'm not opposed to Rizzo. But for example if signing Rizzo meant not signing an elite SS, they should spend the money without hesitation on the elite SS and invest the talent capital in Olson."Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever." - Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

Right. Or you sign Marte and make Hicks the 4th OF'er. Maybe you can keep him healthy if he platoons with Gallo and just spells Judge every now and then. It's a sunk cost at this point."Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever." - Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

Have not posted here, just finished the entire thread,
All I can say there is trouble in River City and I do not have any answers.
We are short of talent at key positions, right up the middle.
Our owner doesnt seem to be in major spend mode...I mean major
Our farm system is in the middle
Our GM is weak but is beloved by ownership
My conclusion is ths is an unsolvable problem it must get worse bef it gets better.

Doesnt seem that Wells is theanswer
Here is MLB Pipeline’s scouting report on Wells:
Though Wells is a shaky receiver with a below-average arm and elbow problems that began in high school, the Yankees are impressed with the initial work he’s done with their instructors remotely. They believe he can add enough polish to stay behind the plate, but scouts outside the organization believe he’ll follow the Kyle Schwarber path and wind up in left field or first base. He runs well enough to handle the outfield and could maximize his offensive production at a less demanding position than catcher.

Olson doesn't make all that much sense to me especially with people fantasizing about a Correa or Seager addition as well. So the Yankees are going to pay Seager/Correa 250 million plus, extend Judge for 30 plus million a year, carry Cole at 36 million a year, carry Stanton at 26 million AAV, and then invest the prospects it takes to land Olson who is on his last year of arbitration next season? So are you going to trade some decent prospects for him and then let him walk or are the Yankees going to pay him 25-30 million a year as well and have a 300 million dollar payroll every year the next 6-8 years? Seems... unrealistic to say the least.

Starling Marte is a great fit with solid D and basestealing, which this team lacks, but his age and PED past scares me. I would prefer we trade for the younger Marte (Ketel). KMarte has had his issues on defense, but he is relatively young, a switch hitter, doesn't strike out much, and hits for a high BA. He is under control for 2 more years like Olson and was rumored to be available midseason before injury. Getting him and Olson will hurt the farm, but getting those two bats at relatively low salaries will let us go after a big bat at SS to round out lineup.Let's Go Yankees!

This would give us some really firepower and we still have plenty of this years guys to fill in when those guys get injured or need rest.
