***

This week I'll explain why I am so positive about the Juan Soto deal and am very optimistic about this winter and the Yankees' willingness to get better.

Soto in LF, very good start. I would've preferred to give up Hampton, than Thorpe, for the simple reason I believe if coached/placed properly, he could be in the Majors by the time the Yankees are in San Diego. But let's be honest, that would've never happened if he was still here.


But in getting both Grisham & Verdugo, Cashman made sure that Florial has no shot here. But it also put Pereira back in SWB, and sentenced Dominguez, when healthy, also to SWB, even though he committed no crime. If both Grisham & Verdugo make it to OD 2024, I cannot see Cashman trading either of them to make room for Pereira or Dominguez. But if Verdugo is real…

It's what Montas will be given, he will not have to earn it. Schmidt will be banished to the bullpen. Or, alternatively, he will be signed if Yamamoto goes elsewhere. and, I'd rather let Warren/Beeter/Gil fight it out for #5 than sign Montas, because again, I cannot see Cashman allowing Montas to be thrown in the pen or even DFA.

He made sure Florial was in no way going to be an option here. I've commented previously numerous times why that was going to happen. Montas could be si…

it's indeed good to see that you're happy


quite odd to see you claim that Soto is a good first step

both men better players than Soto.


Soto is indeed younger than those two, but is a good deal older than Jasson Dominguez

My point on Dominguez is that no one knows his timeline and it would be foolish, at best, to count on him in 2024. If he can provide anything, that's a bonus, but he shouldn't be counted on.


Harper came back, but could only DH and play 1B.

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
