JUDGE SAYS YANKS AIN'T DONE WITH BIG SIGNINGS, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ANALYTICS AUDIT?

I'm thrilled about getting Juan Soto in pinstripes.  I actually even feel good about Alex Verdugo believe it or not. The entire outfield has transformed for the better.   Now, we do need pitching, but there's time.  In a recent quote from Aaron Judge, the Yankees do not appear done.

“We’ve made some big moves the past couple of days and looking forward to making a couple more, but it’s gonna be a fun season I think for Yankee fans,” Judge said Thursday morning on Fox 5’s “Good Day New York.

Now Yankee fans? It's true, we deserve it.  2023 sucked. We're mad... many of us cannot stand Aaron Boone at the helm, so grabbing Brad Ausmus was a great idea for a bench coach.  Obviously, Soto in pinstripes for 2024 is amazing, but what happens after 2024?  In other words, are we extending this guy? Is he gonna leave? Did we trade away Drew Thorpe for nothing?  Look, we want a great 2024 season this is true, but we want many years of competing at the highest level and actually winning a championship.  That's the goal.  

Yamamoto will be a big piece the Yankees cannot mess up.  The Mets are going after him hard, but we have the numbers, meaning, guys like Hideki Matsui and Masahiro Tanaka are giant past acquisitions and they have to help in this venture.  We need this guy. 

I am happy that Aaron Judge can hint as he is. It seems that he's happy and of course that eases the minds of us Yankee fans, but let's keep our eye on the prize... we have to get these guys and win.  It's literally the biggest goal of a professional team.  We as fans finally forced Cashman's hand to make changes with our players... he is, but let's face it, it means nothing if they don't fix the problems in the analytics room, which, as I stated the other day NEVER HAPPENED.  

If you don't know what I mean, read THE FACE OF THE YANKEES ANALYTICS FLOP HAS NO ANSWERS.. Analytics nerd Michael Fishman revealed nothing, except for one very important piece of information that Yankee fans need to be angry about.  Remember when the Yankees were supposed to have an audit by Zelus to look into the Yankees books on how they operate with their players better? Well, there was no audit. The Yankees did not offer to open their books. In other words, the New York Yankees are not taking a "deep dive" into what went wrong. They aren't doing anything but flashing shiny things in our faces in the images of Soto and Yamamoto so we all forget that the Yankees front office was horrible last year.  That, my friends is the most offensive thing of this entire off season.  All of us Yankee fans know we need big players, but we also need to fix the front office.  Hal said we would, but we're not, aren't we?

I want you to think about this if the Yankees are sucking the life out of us in 2024. Because this was the most important fix of them all, but it was ignored.  Sad.

I am thrilled to welcome Soto and Verdugo to the Yankees, it's gonna be fun.  I hope we snag Yamamoto and a few more solid arms.  We need them. But none of this works if we're not given the right numbers from our analytics department, and right now it appears that isn't happening.

Be Skeptical. Ask these questions. We deserve answers.
