I'm very disappointed in the Yankees. I just read what every team in the AL East has done this off season. All the teams vastly improved themselves with great trades and signees. EXCEPT for the Yankees.

Why didn't the Yankees go after Bo Bichette?

I didn't post on that the other day as I'm not crazy about that. Maybe he can fill in at 1B once in a while and DH once Stanton goes down in the first few weeks like usual, but not worth the money we gave him.

Jazz talking big. Aiming for a 50-50 season. If he were to pull that off and everyone else plays their normal seasons we win the WS.

He has the talent for it but that would be an MVP season which his performance has never reached.

I now you had mentioned it some time ago but saw some Volpe discussion in the last week where they talked about his labrum tear being far worse than they had thought. His shoulder was an absolute mess when they went in to repair it. Let's hope that fully healthy he can be the player we thought he can be

I'm excited about Ben Rice this season. And I think Austin Wells will have a much more stable season at the plate.

Lots of "thinks" and "ifs" there but would only need a couple to happen once the pitching staff gets back to full health

Jazz hitting 50 homers would be incredible. Jazz trying to hit 50 homers is probably a receipt for disaster.
Problem with Jazz is he can't stay healthy. Volpe will miss the first month and I hope he doesn't put pressure on himself coming back late trying to do to much. I think a healthy Volpe will be fine. Lot of ifs on this team but we are due a season (or 3 or 3) without so many key injures. It's been a broken record for years now.

I still think the Yanks were surprised that Grish accepted the qualifying offer

I know I was shocked then and still am

A 1-year deal coming off far and away the best season of his career and an opportunity to get paid along with some term

Got some nice, unexpected, live arms showing up in the minors. Maybe the future is not so gloom in the pitching department.

This is one thing the Yanks minor league system has been doing a great job of for a while....finding guys with mechanical glitches or untapped upside and unlocking the problems resulting in big boosts in velocity
