There's been some movement this week, but nothing for the Yankees unfortunately. I'm hoping that means we see some action soon. Here's what has happened in case you have missed it as you made
plans for whatever your holiday looks like this year....
1) Tommy Kahnle has a new home
Kahnle is now an Ex-Yankee, read more HERE. He just had Tommy John surgery in August so we weren't going to see him in 2021 anyway but the Dodgers signed him with 2022 in mind. I will definitely miss the 2019 Kahnle and I wish him well but I also hope that we won't have to be pitching against him in 2022 if he does make a great rebound.
2) James Paxton is in high demand
Earlier this month Scott Boras started creating hype about Paxton and it appears it worked. Paxton threw for scouts from "as many as 20 teams" and he reached 94 mph. Paxton is one year removed from a 15-win season so if the Yankees move on and don't have a change of heart it sounds like other teams are willing to take a chance.
3) Cashman is patient with DJ LeMahieu
I think far too patient according to the latest news HERE. Brian Cashman says he's fine with however long it takes to re-sign LeMahieu as long as it does happen. The Yankees remain confident that a deal will be worked out, but the longer it takes the more we anxious and uncertain we as fans become. DJ isn't going to sit around and wait forever, even though he does want to play for us again. There's a lot of interest especially from the Toronto Blue Jays so the more time that passes, the more impatient all of us become.
I don't feel confident with the Yankees current "strategy" if that is what we even want to call it. Everything is on pause until DJ LeMahieu signs, and hopefully with us. I wish we had signed DJ already, because right now all I can think about is gettin NOTHIN for Christmas....
