WILL HARRISON BADER BE BACK? NO ONE KNOWS

Harrison Bader has had his moments in pinstripes.  But this season everything is all over the place.  The team is not consistent when it comes to winning and when it comes to greatness, neither are Harrison Bader or the rest of them.  It's been a mess.

Last fall Bader did amazing things for us down the stretch and it was significant. It was what I expected from this guy who is just a gamer.  But injury has plagued this dude and it bothers many of us.  That being said, we need a good, athletic centerfielder and a guy that can rally the troops like Bader can.  

Not sure what happens to Bader's future in the Bronx, but I am still kind of hoping that he sticks around a little bit longer.  The New York Post writes:

"At the end of the day, it is a results-based world and I do realize my offensive numbers are not where they need to be,” Bader said. “But moving forward down the stretch here, I just want to be what I can offensively for this team to put us in position to help win games. That’s really my entire focus.”

If the Yankees decide not to bring Bader back, the free-agent market is not exactly brimming with alternatives."

Bader is a gamer... he grinds, but the Lord is the only one who knows if this guy can light it up down the stretch this year, AND not get hurt.  

And what happens if we don't sign him? Who else is out there? Who else can play center field?

IKF has shown he can play the outfield, but is he the guy?  What about this new kid, Everson Periera? I just don't know if that's the answer.  And of course, everyone loves the idea of Cody Bellinger on the Yankees, but look, how tired are you of paying big money for stars that age dramatically as soon as they put on the pinstripes?  It's a real issue.  Maybe Bader is the only alternative and to be honest, it's not a terrible one.

Time will tell.  But one thing is certain... we as a Yankee team just can't win consistently this year. I'm pulling my hair out.  It's mind boggling. Maybe today.
