ASSTROS PLAYERS COULD BE PERFECT FIT IN THE BRONX SAYS SHERMAN

All fans have strong opinions, Yankee fans especially. That is no exception for me. I have some very strong opinions that I make no apologies for. We all disagree about ideas from time to time, but I really disagree with Joel Sherman this week.

In case you missed it, check out his post on the New York Post HERE. His title is fine, but after that he loses me. I think the Yankees and Yankee fans should root for the ASSTROS to keep losing. They are our rivals after all, so yes please keep losing. However, Sherman thinks we should want them to keep losing so the ASSTROS may be forced to become sellers at the deadline.

If they do become sellers, Sherman thinks Ryan Pressly and Alex Bregman would be perfect Yankee additions. I wouldn't mind Pressly in pinstripes, but Bregman is an absolute NO for me. Sherman's take is "Bregman, a terrific defender and low-strikeout hitter, would ideally step in at third for the Yankees with DJ LeMahieu going to second, first or the bench depending on the health and performance of him, Gleyber Torres and Anthony Rizzo." The Yankees could use some infield upgrades, he's not wrong there.... he's just wrong about his choice.

We've had a lot to say about Bregman over the years, especially me. I hate the guy and I don't use that word lightly. He's a cheater and he fit in well with Jim Crane's circus. I value integrity and I live it every day. Bregman has none and he has proven that to the world. He doesn't deserve to be a Yankee or wear the uniform. The Yankees have always had high expectations and Bregman just doesn't meet them.

All teams want the best players possible to help them win, but players who disgrace the game don't fit that category. The Yankees should not be motivated to trade for the guy that cheated and then eliminated them. That's just insanity in my book. Bregman doesn't respect the game, why would he respect the Yankee expectations and traditions? He's just not worthy of the uniform.

I don't even think the ASSTROS will be sellers at this point AND anyone who is interested in Bregman will have a hefty price tag to pay because the ASSTROS will ask for the moon. BUT I will continue to root for the Yankees to win, and hopefully the ASSTROS don't. That won't change. I'm just not going to root for the ASSTROS to continue to lose so I can potentially trade for a low life cheater. 

Bregman is bad news, and he doesn't deserve to wear our uniform. He doesn't even deserve to play. Sherman's got some crazy ideas, and he can keep them.
