WHY WOULD THE YANKEES TRADE FOR ANOTHER HURT CARDINAL?

I'm tired to hearing about guys that could help the Yankees. Look, we all loved Harrison Bader for a hot second in the Bronx.  But he's already gone and we're seeing his trade partner Jordan Montgomery shine with the Rangers! A big tree lefty that we HAD to trade away to get an injured Bader, only to replace him with big tree lefty Carlos Rodon and somehow the Yankees got ZERO from all that.  By the way, not to harp on it again, but what the F were the Yankees thinking with all that?  Horrendous.

Now comes word the Yankees may benefit in getting another gold glover from the Cardinals.  You know, a must-have that's gonna help them in 2024?  His name is Brendan Donovan.  Got it.  OK, tell me, what's so special Inside the Pinstripes?

"The Yankees simply need more good hitters heading into next season, and Donovan fills that hole...

"Because Donovan is a pre-arbitration player, it will likely take a lot for the Cards to consider moving someone like him."...

New York has been linked to Donovan in the past and a move could make sense this offseason. The Cardinals seem to have an overflow of young offensive talent and need pitching.

Donovan impressed again in 2023 with a .284/.365/.422 slash line and 11 home runs and 34 RBIs, but appeared in just 95 games due to injuries. If he's healthy, he could really help New York."

And did you notice that last sentence? If he's healthy, he could really help New York. IF HEALTHY. That's no throw away line... that's significant when you think about the Yankees track record.

Why? Why, why, why, why, why. why, why? Why would we do this to ourselves again? And does anyone really think our medical staff can handle another injury? They couldn't handle what we already had?  And if we're gonna go after a gold glover from the Cards that gets hurt a lot, just re-sign Bader. At least then we know what we're gonna get and he LOVED the Bronx. Am I right?

Donovan was shut down in September.  FOX Sports wrote: "Donovan underwent season-ending surgery in August to repair the flexor strain in his right elbow, so a move to the 60-day IL was expected. His spot on the 40-man roster will be filled by Ryan Helsley (forearm), who came off the 60-day injured list Friday."

The bottom line with all of this? The Yankees need to learn from bad mistakes... we've seen this before.  We don't need turmoil; we need sure things.  That's the bottom line.
