You created the game... don't be the follower... be the leader. You're clearly out of practice.

I am not a Gary Sanchez fan. I never have been, but trading him for a 35-year-old, sometimes broken-down 3rd baseman and a guy that will no doubt be a part-time shortstop is not a way to wow a Yankee fan base. In fact, it's pretty awful.
Jeff Passan just tweeted this:
"BREAKING: The New York Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire third baseman Josh Donaldson and shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa from Minnesota, sources tell ESPN."
Here's the worst part... The Twins still owed Donaldson $50 Million for 2 years and now the Yankees have that problem. Meanwhile, a better defensive 3rd baseman in Gio Urshela was just shipped off the Minnesota with Sanchez.
Meanwhile, let's think about what happens to DJ LeMahieu. Does he become our first baseman? Is that how the Yankees plan on fixing that problem?
And let's look at Isiah Kiner-Falefa. A mediocre, 26-year-old shortstop. Cause, you know, we needed one. Now don't get me wrong, I don't want Carlos Correa either, but I made an argument for Didi Gregorius at least 3 times on Bleeding Yankee Blue and I know it's the smartest move ever. One year deal and Volpe comes up next year. Simple and a fan favorite.
The Yankees also get Ben Rortvedt. He's a catcher. OK then.
Look Cash, everyone knows the Mets and pumpkin head Cohen are buying everyone up for a lot of money. Their team has improved. But you know what else improved? The player's egos... complacency. Players that get big money have a tendency to sit back and collect and play less hard. You know how I know? Because I've been a Yankee fan since the 70's and I've seen it time and time again when it comes to the free agency pool. Yankees never really won when they dug deep into the Free Agent pool to get top talent. I don't always work. So let the Mets do what they do... you just need to calm down and stop the knee jerk reactions by collecting injury prone 36-year old's like Josh Donaldson. Seriously stop that shit.
This Yankee move is a band aid. It will not help our club, it will further bury us.
Something else better be coming, because I'm damn confused. The Yankees by far lost this trade BIG TIME!
MWhy would you trade for James Donaldson, he has been injured more than healthy lately.
ReplyDeleteGio was younger and I think a better 3B.
I know if Donaldson can stay healthy he will hit more home runs but he does not have the range or the arm that Gio had.
You might as well give Miggy 2 bags the job if your looking for offense
I really think you just sent us backwards, no way is Higgy a starting catcher, look when he plays part time he is a decent hitter but when he became the starter for a little bit last year it showed up that he is just a backup.
Now what, your going to promote Austin Wells because there sure isn't any FS catchers around.
I mean I could see trading Gio , moving Torres to 3B and signing Story because they were messing with the idea when Torres in AAA teaching him to be a 2B, SS and 3B to get him to the majors quicker.
Besides we never have any luck with former Blue Jays
Vernon Wells
Tory Tulowiski
They always show up and disappear.
You just made us weaker, unless you are fixing to send Gallo to the Cubs for their starting catcher from last year.
As much as I liked Austin Romine who is a FA he tonis not a starter.
Just what in the world were you thinking Cashman?
Wait , you don't thnk you are just like Boonehead.
I won't lie, Sanchez drove me crazy, but I believe if you had just left him alone with defense you wouldn't had messed up his offense.He will rebound with the Twins just wait and see.
I hope cash has got something up his sleeve. Because this trade just doesn't make sense other than the fact that Sanchez is gone
