GRISHAM WAS THE BETTER MAN IN THAT JUAN SOTO TRADE, HUH?

Aaron Judge said this of Trent Grisham in June 2024 when Soto was hurt and Grisham filled in. 

“Grisham works his butt off every single day. Soto is out right now, he’s going to be back soon and he’s been carrying this team all year. Anytime you go up against teams like this, fans pay to come see us do our thing. They want to see the best out there... Soto is going to heal up fine, but Grish is a heck of a ballplayer and he showed it tonight in a big moment when we needed him. I wasn’t too happy with it, but I think he made a good point; he got his point across with that homer.”  

We should have listened. Right now, Grisham is the better player.  

Now look, things are going to level out.  But remember when Juan Soto was making up garbage trying to justify the Mets signing like the Mets were better than the Yankees in New York? He's not intelligent enough to fool us. We all know that's bologna.

The fact is I may go in hard and am super critical of the Yankees and the move they make, but I'm a gigantic Yankee fan and as long as I've been alive, New York was never a Mets town.  But enough about that.  Soto got what he wanted, he gets to be "the guy" in Queens, but he didn't realize that not having Aaron Judge in the same lineup would be a huge factor with his success.  Soto is good, but maybe he's just not that good? Alonso is not Aaron Judge, plain and simple.

But back to Trent. Grisham played a key role in turning around the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday with an impressive double and a home run. On Friday, during the series opener at PNC Park, he reached base twice with a hit and two walks, going 1-for-3. Saturday's game saw him deliver even more fireworks, blasting a solo home run in the third inning and later crushing a three-run homer in the fifth, right after the Yankees had taken a 4-2 lead.

So, as we watch Soto struggle to find his groove, Grisham has tossed his hat into the head-to-head ring. Hey, I am not complaining.

I hope it continues, that's all I have to say.
