Yankees 2023-2024 offseason

Ok, this is clever

I’d award maximum points for it…

Non surgical rehab always makes me nervous as wasted time now means wasted time in 25. That being said, the inflammation is coming from microtears somewhere. Hopefully reactive bone/slight ligament strain.

That being said, we cannot go into 2024 (a true all in year) with this rotation minus Cole. The season starts in 2 weeks. Cole may be “out” for 12 weeks and by the time he ramps up, it’s the ASB. It’s time to pay Montgomery

Brian Cashman said DJ LeMahieu is starting the season on the IL.

[jacksonianmarch]

Not surprising. He won’t be on the IL long. The issue here is our backup plan is also on the IL in Peraza. Probably gotta carry Cabrera and have him play 3b until DJ returns

Evaluating the Juan Soto trade.

Kyle Higashioka 1.0 WAR with a 115 OPS+, a better offensive player than Wells and Trevino
Michael King 1.8 WAR with 120Ks in 105IP, will not be a free agent until after the 2026 season
Drew Thorpe dominant in AA this year, now in the majors. Ranked as the 7th best RHP prospect in MLB. Now on the White Sox (part of the package that brought back Dylan Cease).

The Padres also acquired Jhony Brito and Randy Vásquez in the Soto trade, two very mediocre pitchers so far.

The Padres did a nice job in acquiring all of this for only one year of Juan Soto.
