Trading Betts to the Dodgers gave them the opportunity to extend him before he reached free agency, and took that same opportunity away from us. You can't leave that out of the equation.
Santana is a bench guy and rightfully so.
Our A team right now has Verdugo, Kike and Renfroe in the outfield and Arroyo at second.
The only way Duran can come up and play every day is by replacing Kike, and Kike has a 2.0 bWAR.
There are plenty of things Cashman can be blamed for.
-He hired Boone and all the other coaches, and this Yankee team has had a one-dimensional offensive approach and bad fundamentals.
-He loaded up on all right handed bats and no left handed bats.
-He shoehorned Torres into the wrong position.
-He rolled the dice on Kluber and Taillon and lost.
-The farm is dried up.
