"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."

Yanks need to trade Torres. They have lots of IF depth and need to give Perazza a real chance to play or trade him. He is done for AAA and has nothing to prove. He struggled in 23 but did not in 22.

Then when last season began, Mike Maddux had already moved on to the Texas Rangers, and Monty regressed quite a bit with the Cardinals from what he had been when he was first traded over there for the later part of the previous season. Then, lo and behold, Monty is traded over to the Texas Rangers, is reunited with Mike Maddux, and he is suddenly good again. This tells me that if he goes some place other than Texas and has a different pitching coach there, that he possibly may not have the same suc…
The things I've been concerned about after the 2023 season, in my view still have not been fixed. Why? I have no idea. To me, it's still all about the support staff that the Yankees have. It's the entire medical staff, the coaching staff, and coaching being strictly analytically driven. You fix those things, it is my belief that most of all your other problems go away.
No one has been fired yet for the Rizzo mess. Not a coach, an athletic trainer, a front office person, or even an analytics person. Stanton's bat speed is still there by the numbers, but no one has scheduled him for a neuro muscular test. Even MLBN back on June 18th, did…
