    For the rate that pitchers have been going for, that’s not bad.

    Cole
    Rodon
    Cortes
    Sevy
    Montas

    That’s a dominant 1-5

    Feels like the Yankees are gonna trade away a starter now. They still need a LF and I doubt they're planning to spend much more this offseason. My guess would be Montas, but they could probably get a good haul for either Sevy or Nestor.

    Sell high on Nestor. 2023 was just a mirage.

    How about Downs, Dalbec and Duran for ole Nesty?

    It's certainly possible 2022 was his career year, but he's still only 28 years and last season he went out and proved that his 2021 season wasn't a fluke. I guess he needs to prove it every year though since he looks like an assistant gym teacher?

    I think they need to swing Schmidt and German into the swing role that King used to occupy. We shall see. I have a feeling they’re gonna be bringing in some serious talent for the OF

    I think German should be our closer
    He'd be nasty there. Rotation is deep enough. I dont think they need an OF though. I'd try to trade Torres if the price is right or if someone would take hicks too, just give him away then.

    German is way too homer prone to be back end of pen. Holmes earned the job for now. I like our staff. I think Kahnle adds what we lose with Green. We have depth, lefties, righties, here, finesse.

    I just want to see us upgrade in LF. I guess they’re counting on DJ to start at 3b. But starting Hicks in any capacity for outset of the year is a fools errand

    Hal knows he has to compete with Cohen, so he's probably not going to bother re-setting anymore either...

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    I think they will still reset every 3 years. Hal is no George.

    If others try to keep up with Cohen, like it appears SD, TX and PHI have attempted to do, watch out!

    Did you read the piece on MLBT how Cohen "missed out" on Correa. It's an interesting insight into negotiations. It looked like the Mets might jump into the bidding, late, but SF and BorA$$ were already "in too deep," that BorA$$ didn't even want to talk. (Strange for him.)

    Hal isn’t a baseball-oriented as Papa was. He seems to like the money…

    But he's also paying one guy $360 million, one $324 million, one $220 million, one $162 million...

    Does that mean John Henry likes the money even more?

    Same guy who called the Rodon signing says Yanks are in deep negotiations to get Bednar and Reynolds with NY. Price is apparently very steep

    Maybe, you guys will finally go "above and beyond" to set yourselves up as the faves.

    They key might end up being deadline decisions.
