For catcher, keep your eye on Tucker Barnhart. The Reds have an option on him for next year at $7.5 million. If they decline it, the Yankees should grab him. His left handed bat balances the lineup, and he's a two time Gold Glove winner.
You guys dont know how important it is to have a good defensive catcher. I watched evrey reds game and he had like 0 past balls and only 2 errors with both being on catchers interferance, plus he hits from the left sidd
I think they should try to get Jacob Stallings from the Pirates, ok offense and excellent defense. The old mantra that you have to be strong defensively up the middle is very true. Also someone who will hustle on EVERY SINGLE PLAY which Gary does NOT DO.
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 if he is a ufa going into the off-season he's as good as gone. I am not a yankee fan so I don't really have any skin in the game, but usually if a player doesn't sign a extension before hitting FA they are gone.
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 I'm not saying it's a lock HOWEVER every big FA that hits the open market and doesn't sign a extension with the current team they are with are typically gone. There's always that 1 team that will pay more. I was reading earlier today the rangers only have 30 million on the books for next year right now. I'm a Sox fan, I have no interest or wishful thinking with seager, in fact I hope the Yankees don't sign him. Good luck
Yankees just need a more versatile lineup. The team played very well with Greg Allen. You only really need 1 or 2 guys like that because you don't want to get rid of the muscle on this Yankees offense. Boone managed the offense differently with Allen too and it worked so I think if the Yankees did more small ball plays while keeping most of the homeruns they're gonna hit, they can be a world series contender again
Yes. As soon as Torres and gio returned things went south again. Time to play Tyler Wade , Allen and Flores. Even Alex Cora said the Yankees were a different team when those guys were playing.
During the offseason, Aaron Hicks played too much golf and probably hurt his wrist as a result. Aaron Boone played basketball and banged up his left knee. These Aarons were just clueless when it came to getting ready for the upcoming season.
Wilson Contreras is the only catcher that to me represents an upgrade over Sanchez. Better defense and better game calling to me helps to offset the offensive step down. Good video, man.
Phenomenal idea with offloading Chapman and Britton. I learned from the Nationals that you can win a Championship with a Bullpen Dead last in ERA, you can fix it along the way after perfecting the Lineup and Starters.
Great vid. If the Yankees dont make major improvements they dont stand a chance imo. If they got seager gausman rizzo and hopefully an outfielder they’d be in fantastic shape
Judge is not only the face of the Yankees but also one of the faces of baseball. I also back your Jeter comparisons. He plays the game correctly while keeping a low profile off the field. He is exactly the type of person you hope and dream for to be the face of your organization. Pay up Hal and do the right thing. Us fans deserve it!
Started off with “keep Rizzo” and you had me listening the whole rest of the video (Cubs fan. Love Rizzo.) I loved all your points … really the Yanks should just hire you. I absolutely agree with the choice to double-down on Judge. Treat him right, he will go down as the next Jeter.. or at least something close.
Perfectly worded as you voiced everything I was planning on writing. Seager gives us the left handed bat to replace Gallo who is HR or nothing. Plus Seager hits for average and will get on base.
Willson Contreras at catcher?!? That guy is a stud that needs a change of the scenery. He's a good defensive catcher with a bazooka of an arm. Has a strong bat and is an emotional leader like Posada was for the Yankees. Sanchez plays like a zombie who only shows emotion when he pops a homerun.
Dude I agree 100% with you. We should resign Rizzo for his left handed defense and bat. Sign Seager for the same reasons. I don't think San Francisco is going to trade Marte unless they receive a big haul for him. Chapy is inconsistent as the closer. To many walks and HR's, he should be gone. Keep Sanchez and drop him in the order like the 7th or 8th hole where he'll have less pressure. I say bring up some of the Rookie's from this yr like Greg Allen, Velasquez those kids have speed. Enough of the HR or strike out crap, we need to start playing fundamental baseball. And yes we do need a #2 pitcher behind Cole. And last, As far as Boone is concerned, we all know that he's not going to get fired. They'll probably give him a one or two yr let's see how you do contract.
Agree with all points except Gary Sanchez. Higashioka will be #1 next year and with universal DH coming in Sanchez moves to pastures new. I'd take better defensive players than offensive. It hurt us big time overall this year.
You put a lot of thought in this video so I give you a thumbs up. I like Rodon especially because he is a lefty. My concern is he can't stay healthy. We do need another front line starter. With Gausman could 2021 be a fluke year? Seager could help, but Volpe (the real deal) and company will start showing up in a few years. Chris Taylor might be someone of interest too. The Yanks like Marte a lot. If they can't get satisfy the Snakes I'd consider him. He is versatile and can play multiple positions as well. Chapman might be done since he throws fewer fastballs than ever before.
I like Rizzo, but less than 4 years. Seager is the best option and better than Correa IMO. Agreed on coaching staff see ya. As much as Cashman should go, he won’t. Fire the analytics team. Gausman, meh. I don’t think he’s a difference maker, especially at that price. Get rid of Hicks. NO on Sanchez. Contreras would be a better option.
Duke - Was a catcher from little league thru college and was always trained to sit the Yogi Berra style when no one is on base and use this same style when men are on base to give your signs then hop to the semi squat style. Both styles allow you to frame pitches equally, but the semi squat style allows you to get rid of the ball quicker on a steal attempts. I agree with Tucker Barnhart instead of Sanchez. He drove me crazy with his leg extension which is an automatic risk for allowing passed balls. Yogi, Thurman Munson and Elston Howard were always my favorites.
Los Yankees lo que tienen que hacer es darle la oportunidad a sus propecto para que demuestren sus talentos , siempre que han jugado con ellos han ganado
Great video! Right on with your suggestions! I would trade Gallo, Andujar, Frazier, Voit and anyone in the minors that doesn’t have the name Dominguez or Volpe
Adujar and Frazier do not have ANY value in trades. They would just be throw ins at this point. A trade for Ketel Marte would have to include guys like Peraza, Gil, Schmidt, Medina, etc.
This is probably the most reasonable list I've seen thus far. People forget that if you get rid of Gary, you gotta replace him with something better, and he hits above average **for a catcher**.
I love this Vid. Former Cubs manager was right that Rizzo was born to be a yankee because he's never give up and he can handle pressure well in NY. I hope he accept deal that is lower than the one he decline from cubs. I have a feeling that Dodgers may use various tactics to get Seager back. Hopefully we can get Seager. Judge deserves to be a long time Yankee. Cashman should have spent big like he did back in 2009 when he acquire CC, Burnett and Tex.
One easy answer....Like George, spend more, don't worry about the luxury tax, prioritize winning. Winning needs to become number 1 with Hal and Hank, not money. Hal and Hank ruined George's winning ways by being cheap under the luxury tax imo. Yankees would have won with George in charge
List looks decent somewhat. I wouldn’t worry about Britton and Chapman. They are both on the final year of their contracts. Sanchez has always been a paycheck player. He has said in the past that he doesn’t enjoy playing and doesn’t care for the game much. 2022 will be his contract year. Remember how he played when he first came up and he wanted to stay up? He was a monster. Expect that kind of play next year. He wants a $100+ million contract. Hopefully Cashman isn’t dumb enough to give it to him. Severino will be healthy next year. He will easily hold down the #2 spot. Another year marred with injuries and he knows he will be cast off like Greg Bird. They should sign a veteran to a short contract for depth. Matt Boyd would be my choice. They do need to sign Rizzo to a 3 year $56m contract with an option year. Then sign a placeholder for SS. They have several talented prospects that are near ready. Why give $25m+ to a player that won’t be needed in 2023? Galvis, Brad Miller, Asdrubal Cabrera or Simmons would be perfect. The only big name SS they should have chased was Baez. They could have put him all over the diamond. Jorge Soler would be a good cheap choice for a bench bat OF depth signing.
If Cashman is the GM at the beginning of next season then just forget about winning a championship for 5 more years. We'll win one 3-5 years after we replace him and entire analytics + development departments. And definitely don't acquire any pitchers from good teams like the Rays or Giants. Those teams actually have competent analytics staff. Bring them over and they'll Sonny Gray - guaranteed.
I'm honestly tired of yankees buying big names and then have them flunk or get injured, I'm leaning towards bringing in guys from the farm like Velasquez that guy definitely has potential
Get Gausman, Rodon, or Robbie Ray and either get a shortstop or make a huge trade for a big name player like, Ketel Marte, Matt Olsen, etc. If we do this we could be good again next year, and with a little change of coaching, definitely at least a new hitting coach.
Carlos Correa literally trashed talk the organization and the fan base. He ain't coming here, the dude called us Classless. Why would NY fans want him gere is beyond me, Correa would rather retire than come here.
The Yankees need Greg Allen sign Aaron Judge to a long term deal get rid of Luke Voit he's injury prone. The Yankees also need another Ace pitcher behind Gerrit Cole. Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo needs to stay with the Yankees.
@@vc8my that is because brett gardner who stinks is in the way and jinxed every outfielder. frazier, andujar, ellsbury, hicks, allen, florial, tauchman, stanton cant play outfield. boone and gardner back we will not win in 22
1. Hire Bochy or Showalter as Manager 2. Sign Rizzo 3. Trade Gleyber for Castillo 4. Trade Voit for Ketel Marte 5. Sign Rodon 6. Sign Seager or Correa 7. Trade Sanchez for Contreraz Carry your balls with u Hal! Spend your 💰💰
Correa is not happening, especially after how the Yankees fans treated him. Correa will either stay in Houston or the Rangers or Tigers will overpaid for him.
fans think the Yankees players are so bad but then also think that you can just trade those "bad" players straight up for "better" players. This is why other people make fun of Yankees fans' trade proposals. You'd have to include top level prospects with Gleyber for Castillo, with Voit for Marte and with Gary for Contreras. Also, there is no need to even trade Gleyber at his current state because it is his lowest possible value and he actually showed that he still had it when they put him back at 2nd base. Not to mention that in the second half of the season he hit over .290 with an OPS near .800 and would have been on pace for a 20 HR/ 20 SB season.
Great evaluation. Only one tweak. In the outfield they should trade for Brian Reynolds, a switch hitter who has a good average, decent power, and fields well.
Try to get Olson in a trade with the A's who is a better upgrade and a cheap contract. Trade Gallo for Adam Frazier. Get rid of Cashman,he is an idiot.I agree to move Chappy and Britton, but Chappy has a no-trade clause and Britton out most of the year. Disagree with you about SP,it takes an army to close out games. Trade Taillon and go after 2 SP if you can. Definitely go after Marte and Cubs catcher and try to get Reynolds from the Pirates.
Great video as always. Here is my take. 1) Do not think Rizzo is gonna be worth his market value. I prefer moving DJ back to 1B as he is under contract and to keep him fresh as he ages. Torres at 2B and Urshela at 3B full-time. 2) Seager is a must-get. Finally gives us a SS and a lefty .300 hitter we have not had since Robinson Cano. 3) Ketel Marte would be awesome. Fits the team perfectly as another contact-first guy. The cost will be crazy as it should be. I like the idea of Starling Marte too, but if we stand pat with Hicks, we need a better insurance policy than a 50-year-old Brett Gardner. 4) Just don't see us shelling out for pitching. Gausman would be cool, but I think Kluber or a Kluber-type pitcher on a one or two-year deal is more realistic. 5) Would love to move Britton. Ottavino-like move. I am okay with Chapman for next season. 6) Let Gary go. Need a new face back there. A defense-first catcher that can hit .200. Do not need more power in my opinion. I would call the Dodgers about Austin Barnes. 7) I would try to bring in one more reliever via FA or trade. We are not as far away as everyone thinks. It may seem like a lot of moves, but it really isn't.
This ought to tick a nerve: Max Scherzer on why he signed up with the Mets: Cohen “looks at this as he wants to win a championship, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to win,” said Scherzer, the eight-time All-Star and 2019 World Series champ with the Nationals. “You don’t hear that from owners too often these days. When you can finally hear an owner want to do what it takes to win, obviously that piqued my interest.”
This is a SUPER optimistic list even for the Yankees. I'm a redsox fan but trying to be unbiased here. Anthony Rizzo, I agree with resigning, I would try for 2 years maybe 3, definitely not 4 though. Trading Chapman and or Britton? Fully agree. Chapman has really gotten exposed the last few years. He's been relying way too much on just being able to blow it by guys. He's still good but not worth what he's making. Getting Seager is one I agree with for the Yankees too. Price wise without moving Chap and Britton is going to be tough though, but you're also going to have to get rid of Urshela or Torres if you do this. Don't forget were also saving a good amount now that Gardner's contract is off the books. Maybe he's resigned, but not for nearly what he was making. I 100% do not agree with sticking with Sanchez. This lineup has enough power bats as it is, go out and find a defensive first catcher. See if you can find a guy with good on base and or average too, but defense is top priority. Sanchez has a lot of flaws on defense, but his frame rating is what costs the Yankees the most in my opinion. A guy who can frame well is going to shed some points off that team ERA and turn walks into strikeouts. I don't see how the Yankees can't sign Judge, that'd just be a mistake on all fronts. And lastly Ketel Marte is not going anywhere without Volpe or Dominguez going. I'm sorry, just not happening. Diamondbacks aren't going to trade their best player for anyone but the best. And if you don't offer them up you will lose out to some other team. I like that move f or him though. Plus he will still be under cheap contract for 1 more year after that I believe.
Wilson Contreras and German Marquez are great options, their teams would not ask too much for them. I still believe Severino can become the second ace, and Luis Gil can be a great fifth men.
The culture change starts with the owner. Hal needs to get rid of Cashman for the culture change to happen. Definitely don't pick up Britton's option. I'm all for trading Chapman. He's been good, but lately you need a pack of tums next to you every time he comes into a game. It only took Gausman almost 10 years to become a decent pitcher. I wouldn't bet on him, but maybe he could be a #3 or #4. I have a suggestion on Gary Sanchez.....get him a job bagging groceries. He's done nothing but regress. I'd rather have a 35 year old Buster Posey next season if he can give them a discount on his $22m salary if his option isn't picked up. I know that's a long shot though. Looks like their catching situation will remain horrible. Even when Gary is a FA in 2023 they will only have Willson Contreras to go after in FA. He's almost a mirror image of Sanchez. I agree about everything you've said about Judge. What I don't agree with is paying him $38m a season. $30m a season AT MOST! Their starting pitching is not good. The 2 guys I said would probably get hurt got hurt again. Kluber was hurt for 3 months and came close to a 4 ERA. Taillon got hurt at the end and had a 4.30 ERA. German was consistently inconsistent like always. Cole pitched like crap for most of the second half. Severino is a question mark health wise too. Cortez was a pleasant surprise, but we don't know if it was a fluke. Monty is a solid #4 starter. Not much to rely on there. Knowing the Yankees, they will sign a nobody again or another aging injured pitcher. They might even re-sign Kluber to another year.
I could see the Seager deal happening. Trea Turner is playing out of position at 2B for the Dodgers. But you’re wrong about not needing to address pitching shortcomings.
I like these ideas that you have here. Yes I absolutely agree about not signing Correa, I wouldn't want ANYONE associated with the Astros Scandal on the team at all. But I think you could've mentioned something being done with Brian Cashman, as he's just not been an acceptable GM. Plus, I think Sanchez needs to go; he just doesn't seem to care when he makes errors and doesn't hustle at all. But yes yes YES, make Judge the new Captain.
Cashman has done a solid job honestly. he's been given a hard salary and he has made some great deals including voit, urshela, tauchman, trading chapman just to get him back, rizzo, peralta, and the list goes on. he never seems to give up any top prospects and he finds great role players. just because the team never meets expectations i dont think is on him all that much. the team on the field has been terribly mismanaged with terrible coaching. plus in 2017-2019 getting screwed in the playoffs by cheaters doesn't help either. but when we see hal let cash do his thing he always comes back with good returns. its the mentality of this team to eithewr hit a homerun or strikeout and coaching that kills this team.
They need another reliable ace. If Sherzer is a free agent the Yankeed should be all over him. After Cole the Yankees rotation seemed like alot of "this kid(s) could be great one day if he can just stay healthy". Thats not going to cut it. You need your top ace to be your stopper, and a second ace to get momentum moving in youre direction in a playoff series.
I'm a Gary stan but i agree if a better option presents itself you cant say no. He's an average catcher with a high ceiling so likely has trade value elsewhere.
I agree not only does he suck he is lazy and he just doesn’t care,,,,Cant field , can’t hit has no baseball IQ and he most certainly can’t frame pitches,,,And honestly I would prefer higgy to have Top spot,,,Make Sanchez second string
I hope cashman keeps Arron judge because if he does and name him captain we are set up for a World Series. We need a new catcher gray and his knee down and the wild pitches they had last year was horrible
They need to get Garry off the knee and I think he’d do just fine defensively. His arm is all he has going for him until he can frame well while crouched.
Expect alot of teams to be lining up to Gausman. Toronto who could be losing Robbie Ray might be interested, Seattle who will lose Anderson via free agency and I don't think they trust Kukuchi will be interested in him too and you know SF will be trying hard to retain him.
I agree with everything you said but i would have 2 changes for my Yankees offseason. Instead of trading for Ketel Marte trade for Matt Olsen over signing Rizzo. He is better offensively and defensively than Rizzo and cheaper. Sign Sterling Marte to a 3 year 39 million dollar deal. He may not be as young and slightly worse hitter and defensively the Ketel (not by an extreme amount) but he is a great base stealer (47 this year) which is something the Yankees were lacking and Ketel is nowhere near him in this. Ketel cost about 9 million less than over the deal but you make that up with the saving at first. Move Arron Hicks to left to save his health in a less stressful position and trade Gallo as part of the Olsen deal are the only other things I would add.
So first I think cutting ties with Gary Sanchez, Chapman, Britton is needed. If you are keeping Rizzo and bringing in Seager then I say take the hit in offense and bring a defensive catcher in. Judge well I just don’t know what to say. I’m just so nervous about signing him for that long. I would go 4 or maybe 5 years. But man the Hicks and Sevy deals….scare me from that type of move
I would not spend the money for a big time SS. Just get a defensive minded, speed player to hold down the fort for a couple of years tops for Volpe. We need pitching. Our bullpen needs help too, specifically a closer. You should lose weight sweating every time you put your closer in. Otherwise, I think it’s pretty good. Once thing I want to say is don’t give up on Gallo yet. He put too much pressure on himself being a life long Yankee fan and knowing how excited the fan base was to get him. Year 2, he will be more relaxed. A new hitting coach maybe can adjust his swing a bit to flatten it out a touch, to get more contact. If he’s not panning out, you can trade him before the deadline. He’s relatively cheap so not much to lose. On Sanchez, I would get rid of him. I know Higgy can’t hit a lick, but pitchers like throwing to him and frankly he wasn’t far off of Sanchez’s numbers when extrapolated out anyway. The only other suggestion would be to package Gleyber, Sanchez and a few prospects for Matt Olsen instead of signing Rizzo. Rizzo is a good player, great clubhouse guy, but clearly on the back nine of his career. Offense is slowing down and it’s just a matter of time before defense does too.
Yankees have a way of taking good players from other teams and fucking them up. Get rid of the hitting staff, physical conditioning staff, whoever fucked up Gary Sanchez by making him catch from one knee (guy can't catch, frame, or have baseball sense and don't get me started on his base running). A whole bunch of players need to go: Heaney, Sanchez, Voit, Hicks, Gardner, Gallo, anyone with an ERA over 4, anyone with an avg under .200 who played everyday.
That is a wish list for the Yankees. But I am not sure Rizzo can be kept with 65 mil contract. He just turned down 70mil from the Cubs. He surely is looking for higher payroll than 65 mil. And with his ages, he is looking for longer term deals too. I totally agree with keeping Judge for multi year deals. Yankees can make the money back just by selling all those 99 jerseys and his accessories. He shines in the New York bright lights and he draws fans to buy tickets to the stadium. That is called good business judgement.
Like everything but I just think Seager and Rizzo worth more. 6 years 174 for Seager 5 years 95 for Rizzo. Let go of Gleyber and Voit. Try and trade Brit and Hicks. Sign Chris Taylor and Adam Ottavino
I personally think that Willson Conteras is an upgrade over Gary. He is far better defensively, more consistent offensively, and knows how to run a pitching staff. I would trade for him in a heartbeat.
Wilson is a prime age catcher that has a championship to his name and can handle big situations. Gary is not a consistent bat at all. Second new York could break the bank on Carlos Correa and shift Gleyber to second where he's thrived. If Rizzo doesn't sign a deal with new York which Cashman should do they can shift DJ to First and use Luke Voit as DH. The lineup could be : Dj Lemehui Aaron Judge Giancarlo Stanton Carlos Correa Joey Gallo Gleyber Torres Wilson conteras Gio Urshela
Gausman is great, but there are plenty of options in the FA market (by the means of plenty it's many) you can go with vets (JV, Grienke, Kershaw, Scherzer, Tanaka, etc.) You can go with uprising talents (Gausman, Ray, Rodon, etc.). But for me one way or another cash is not gonna spend that much money on one pitcher, the analytics department will once again do their jobs and find a supposedly "diamond in the rough" pitcher and stick with it throughout the season.
Agree w everything except Gary Sanchez. I think that with Cory Seager/Carlos Correa at short and Marte in outfield, we can justify giving up some power in catcher position. Higashioka is a defensively sound player with a below average stick, who could be supplemented with another catcher who has an above avg stick (for a catcher) and avg defense. Cory Seager and Ketel would be perfect fits to fill the gap in the lineup-we need more players like that hitting above average in order to maintain pressure on an opposing pitcher, and the threat of lefty hitters in yankee stadium makes it harder to pitch around a lineup where judge or Stanton can also clear the bases. DJ is honestly a toss up for me. I wouldn’t be too upset with whatever they choose to do with him. I can see him having another all star season, but to say he is still in his prime is probably an overstatement. Gleyber Torres needs to stay at second base and needs more development in his bat. I believe that he has been mismanaged and I think he has the ability to return as an offensive threat And lastly, maybe a hot take, but Yankees need to loosen up their culture. They need to not be so strict with appearances. They need to stop treating players like they’re selling a product, and recognize that good baseball is the main attractiveness to fans. They need to win a World Series soon
I definitely agree with cleaning house regarding the coaching staff but if they acquire a new manager he's gonna have to be in full control! This business with consulting an analytic playbook to determine what should be done in any particular game moment is ridiculous. I give Boone credit in general for being able to navigate unbelievable difficult circumstances these past few seasons but more than a few times this season he's looked as if he's in over his head as he makes what many considered questionable in-game decisions to put it nicely. It just seems to be the right moment to have a change of pace and bring in a seasoned much more experienced coach to lead the team. If they continue with exactly what they've been doing all along, they would be foolish to expect different results
If ketel marte is too expensive go for chris taylor He's a utility player,plays really good defense and has some good pop For catcher Go for Manny Pina Him and higgie would be so good
What about Gerritt Cole ? Did he put one over on the Yanks? And will somebody please tell me are the Red Sox really that much better than the Yanks? I really didn't think they'd put Tampa away like they did. I'm in shock.
I’m rolling with the kids from the farm. Hand em the keys and say “listen, you can’t fucking do worse than the guys you’re replacing, so have some fucking fun”.
Yes as a die hard yankee fans wherever has lived. We did a hackable job getting into playoff from an unusual start of season. Sad for quick exit but add few needed pieces go along with a talented, stack team coming year. Get Boone top coaches helping, stay healthy. We can win a championship after drought surely. Again sign our important players and not let loose to free agent. As supported fan always win or lose. Do everything owners bring NY Yankees nation all over. What been looking for these many years another championship to Big Apple.🙏🙏👍
You don't see any better options at catcher defensively? You have to be strong defensively up the middle. You want the whole team that way, but especially up the middle. I agree with you about Judge. Name him captain already.
Here are my steps to improving the Yankees for 2022 moving forward.. 1. Acquire a legit #2 starter 2. Resign Rizzo at 1B 3. Don't bring back Odor, Voit, and all due respect to Gardy it's time to retire. 4. Get rid of Hicks he's injury prone, unless you want to see what he can give starting next season...if not trade at the trading deadline... 5. Get a good back up catcher if you decide to stick with Gary Sanchez..Higgy sid a good job but his offensive numbers were lacking.
I kind of agree with the notion of getting a #2 starter. We haven’t seen ace Sevy in a long time now so who knows what he’s going to be down the road. Realistically we have a Cole and about 5 #4s and #5s. And Kluber is not that guy either so definitely avoid resigning him. He did well enough to earn a contract from a MLB team for next year. Just not from us.
I agree with everything you said in fact I had the exact same thoughts. Rizzo definitely and Seagers left handed stick. All right handed SS in the FA market. My concern is his defense but like you mentioned he could possibly move to 3rd in a few years. (Although I’m not giving up on Urshela just saying) Marte in centerfield i thought they’d get him at the 31st deadline. Hopefully they can still get him during the off-season. My only concern is his defense as well day in and day out in centerfield. I know you said you were open to suggestions in regards catching. I would go defense first we have enough offense. I’d sign Romine again and let him and Higashioka split time or play the hot hand. I know that would never happen but that’s me. Either way I’d still go defense first at catching and any offense would be a plus. Mike Stanley out Joe Girardi in 1996
Gary either has to be able to start catching for cole and every other pitcher or he needs to go. They can’t play backups in one off big games because our ace isn’t confident in his abilities
As always great job. I agree on pretty much everything. We are winning it all next year fuc Boston Tampa and every other team we will be coming for their dreams and turn them into their nightmares Yankees and Dan #1
MLBtraderumors suggested that the Cubs could look to move Wilson Contreras, as he is one season away from free agency. Also, if they can’t convince the D’Backs to move Ketel Marte, I would consider Starling Marte. He’s older but he’s athletic, he steals bases and he plays great defense.
@@jonathonedwardmiller Would also be really, really hard to acquire in a trade. He’s cheap for awhile yet and the Pirates need a few players they can sell to their fans as the building blocks of the next relevant Pittsburgh team.
@@bojettywap4597 he can climb up the minors like Soto and Harper did bro. If Volpe start the year at Double AA it can be a sign the he can be a September call up
@@dauryc1270 who’s playing SS all the way through September? Tyler Wade? What if volpe isn’t as good next year? Both Correa and Seager are projected to move to third and Correa played great third base in the WBC (Idk if we would want Correa or Correa would want to play for us) you could let volpe develop and when it’s time move Seager or Correa to third and volpe to SS or someone to 2B, there’s no promise these guys will be good. Look at gleyber, Clint, Andujar etc. I’m tired of holding these prospects high like they’ve actually ever done anything.
You can’t bank on a kid to make it Get the proven player If volpe can play They’ll move him to third or move trade torres and put him at second SS is too premium of a position to let up to chance
Their estimated 2022 payroll is 193 million. Lets say they deal Britton (they're going to have to retain some of his salary to deal him, but lets say they can get it all of their books) and deal voit. Britton's contract is worth 14 and Voit's is worth 5.25, creating 19.25 million in space, making their payroll 173.75. Signing Rizzo (16.25 per year at your contract), Seager (24 per year at your contract), Gausman (22 per year at your contract), Marte (8, his current 2022 Salary), and El Gary (7.5 projected 2022 salary), would make their payroll 251.5 million, 40 mil over the tax threshold, BEFORE Judge's extension even kicks in. Just not sure it can get done. I know you said most, not all, but I'm not even sure they can achieve half of these. Also, Steinbrener is keeping Boone LOL
Yes seager is a good shortstop & i would difinitly get Rid of Hicks & sign marte to play center field as far as 1st base i would Resign Rizzo to a 4 yr $50 million contract he's 31 or 32 when & if they sign him he'll be 36 when his contract is up, now let's see what Steinbrenner does with the free agency market let's see if he spends the money & the feeling I'm getting is he's not gonna go over that tax for 2022 if you want to compete mr Steinbrenner you have to spend that money you have to get good player's that will do good in new york. 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
According to spotrac the Yankees have 162 million on 10 players that either they won't trade or no one will trade for unless the Yankees eat most of the money... that's less than 40% of the team... And here we go (roughly what he's suggesting)... Rizzo: 16x4 Seager: 24x7 Gausman: 22x5 Sanchez: 7.5 million (estimated) Marte: 8 million (estimated) Judge: 38x6 Judge makes 17 million now... So this is where this guy is at after his moves: Cole, Chapman, Britton, Stanton, Judge, LeMahieu, Odor, Severino, Hicks, Sanchez, Seager, Gausman, Marte, Rizzo.... That's 14 players... You're at 262 million for about half the team... That's without an extension for Torres, Sanchez, or Marte... This guy doesn't live on this planet. No one is going to pay Chapman or Britton what the Yankees do unless you unload your 3 best prospects that would be going to Arizona for Marte... Marte would cost Garcia, Volpe, and Stanford... With the other dozen players and additional from 40 man, this is $300 million before the luxury tax... Lmao, how to fix the Yankees... Trade Britton and Chapman for Trout and Ohtani, sign Correa for the minimun.... lmao... Yankees are screwed with their long term deals... 100 million for 4 player before Judge or Torres extensions...
1. If you can get Rizzo cheap enough, then yes, but I feel like it would be a bit too risky at this point, and maybe you ride it out with Voit until Austin Wells comes up 2. We absolutely need an upgrade at SS. Seager's a great option, but if Volpe can somehow come up this year, he could be a fantastic option too 3. Thames needs to go no question, but I'm a little bit worried about the clubhouse situation if they let Boone go 4. Britton's untradeable at this point, but I'm not opposed to Chapman getting dealt if they could grab a couple more solid bullpen arms in the offseason and convert Loasiga to the full time closer 5. Waaaaay too risky for Gausman who's really only had this one fantastic year. I wouldn't be opposed to it if it were a shorter contract though 6. Marte is good if you don't give up top prospects. The issue is, they probably can't get away with it if they don't give up a guy like Volpe or Peraza, which wouldn't be smart 7. I love Gary when he's good, but we need a defensive upgrade DESPERATELY if we can get one 8. Judge needs a megadeal and the captaincy, no questions asked Overall, I like your ideas, Dan, but I think we need an injection of young talent again instead of signing a ton of veterans to long, expensive contracts. The Yanks have got to at least get a bit of the Baby Bombers mentality back
For catcher, keep your eye on Tucker Barnhart. The Reds have an option on him for next year at $7.5 million. If they decline it, the Yankees should grab him. His left handed bat balances the lineup, and he's a two time Gold Glove winner.
Would rather have Gary than Tucker barnhart
@@danielbeyda5748 same
I don't think anyone wants Tucker Barnhart
You guys dont know how important it is to have a good defensive catcher. I watched evrey reds game and he had like 0 past balls and only 2 errors with both being on catchers interferance, plus he hits from the left sidd
I think they should try to get Jacob Stallings from the Pirates, ok offense and excellent defense. The old mantra that you have to be strong defensively up the middle is very true. Also someone who will hustle on EVERY SINGLE PLAY which Gary does NOT DO.
Even ray Charles would not have struck out as much as Joey Gallo. You can always count on Pete rose to give a nice compliment.
Was he wrong. You sensitive
Are you gallo s dad.
You can always bet on Pete Rose. God knows Pete has bet on himself enough.
I like the Seager acquisition. He bats lefty, plays a good enough SS, and is just entering his prime.
He's staying a Dodger
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 if he is a ufa going into the off-season he's as good as gone. I am not a yankee fan so I don't really have any skin in the game, but usually if a player doesn't sign a extension before hitting FA they are gone.
@@INVERTEDBUKAKI that's not true at all lol. There's a reason they didn't shift him to second base when Turner came in from the trade
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 I'm not saying it's a lock HOWEVER every big FA that hits the open market and doesn't sign a extension with the current team they are with are typically gone. There's always that 1 team that will pay more. I was reading earlier today the rangers only have 30 million on the books for next year right now. I'm a Sox fan, I have no interest or wishful thinking with seager, in fact I hope the Yankees don't sign him. Good luck
@@INVERTEDBUKAKI he'll more likely stay
Yankees just need a more versatile lineup. The team played very well with Greg Allen. You only really need 1 or 2 guys like that because you don't want to get rid of the muscle on this Yankees offense. Boone managed the offense differently with Allen too and it worked so I think if the Yankees did more small ball plays while keeping most of the homeruns they're gonna hit, they can be a world series contender again
Exactly Allen is athletic and he’s a big help
I agree...And get a starting pitcher/starting pitchers.
@@chitran3520 when you are a lefty hitter at Yankee stadium they expect 30 home runs from you and Allen does not cut it.
Never happen. They expect lefty hitters to hit 30 home runs and Allen does not fit the bill.
Yes. As soon as Torres and gio returned things went south again. Time to play Tyler Wade , Allen and Flores. Even Alex Cora said the Yankees were a different team when those guys were playing.
During the offseason, Aaron Hicks played too much golf and probably hurt his wrist as a result. Aaron Boone played basketball and banged up his left knee. These Aarons were just clueless when it came to getting ready for the upcoming season.
Yankees have Aaron Judge
Wilson Contreras is the only catcher that to me represents an upgrade over Sanchez. Better defense and better game calling to me helps to offset the offensive step down. Good video, man.
Ya and he’s going to be EXTREMELY expensive. I would just go with Sanchez and higgy for another year and see if Sanchez can progress
@@phantom514 We got so much money s let's just sign him
@John Winters the Ace would not pitch to ANY of the starting catchers on any of the teams he played on
@@LIONSFAN4227 u can’t sign everyone I don’t care who u are, plus why would u just want to buy a World Series
@John Winters last 4? Lmao he was one of the best catchers in 2019 and 2018. 2020 is when he started to go down with the shortened season
Phenomenal idea with offloading Chapman and Britton. I learned from the Nationals that you can win a Championship with a Bullpen Dead last in ERA, you can fix it along the way after perfecting the Lineup and Starters.
Great vid. If the Yankees dont make major improvements they dont stand a chance imo. If they got seager gausman rizzo and hopefully an outfielder they’d be in fantastic shape
Aaron Hicks coming back bro so we got that outfielder and facts great points
@@KGaLaxY_ he is always hurt and i am optimistic about his ability but he played bad last season. We cant count on him
Gausman is staying in SF most likely.
Judge is not only the face of the Yankees but also one of the faces of baseball. I also back your Jeter comparisons. He plays the game correctly while keeping a low profile off the field. He is exactly the type of person you hope and dream for to be the face of your organization. Pay up Hal and do the right thing. Us fans deserve it!
Started off with “keep Rizzo” and you had me listening the whole rest of the video (Cubs fan. Love Rizzo.)
I loved all your points … really the Yanks should just hire you. I absolutely agree with the choice to double-down on Judge. Treat him right, he will go down as the next Jeter.. or at least something close.
Perfectly worded as you voiced everything I was planning on writing. Seager gives us the left handed bat to replace Gallo who is HR or nothing. Plus Seager hits for average and will get on base.
Rizzo will not be worth the money
Willson Contreras at catcher?!? That guy is a stud that needs a change of the scenery. He's a good defensive catcher with a bazooka of an arm. Has a strong bat and is an emotional leader like Posada was for the Yankees. Sanchez plays like a zombie who only shows emotion when he pops a homerun.
YESSIR.... RIZZZZZZZZO AND CONTREAS....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He’s probably gonna stick with the Cubs.
Dude I agree 100% with you. We should resign Rizzo for his left handed defense and bat. Sign Seager for the same reasons. I don't think San Francisco is going to trade Marte unless they receive a big haul for him. Chapy is inconsistent as the closer. To many walks and HR's, he should be gone. Keep Sanchez and drop him in the order like the 7th or 8th hole where he'll have less pressure. I say bring up some of the Rookie's from this yr like Greg Allen, Velasquez those kids have speed. Enough of the HR or strike out crap, we need to start playing fundamental baseball. And yes we do need a #2 pitcher behind Cole. And last, As far as Boone is concerned, we all know that he's not going to get fired. They'll probably give him a one or two yr let's see how you do contract.
Rizzo’s gonna be more expensive than that but i want him back
Over VOIT?? He hit 8 HR are u kiddin
Rizzo can stay off the il unlike voit
You’re right. Didn’t Rizzo turn down $70M plus from the Cubs? He won’t be back with the Yanks.
You can't stick with Gary when not a single pitcher wants to throw to him on the team
so coles last few outing were sanchez fault,,,,
@@h28custom84 Kay has said it's more than just cole who doesn't enjoy him catching for them.
Exactly! Look at that 13 game winning streak. Where was Sanchez? He was hurt or covid or something. Yankees play sooooo much better without Sanchez.
Agree with all points except Gary Sanchez. Higashioka will be #1 next year and with universal DH coming in Sanchez moves to pastures new. I'd take better defensive players than offensive. It hurt us big time overall this year.
Ppl on Twitter mentioned Mitch Garver for catcher and ever since I’ve been on the Garver train.
I would go with Rodon over Gausman on pitching. Everything else great points.
You put a lot of thought in this video so I give you a thumbs up. I like Rodon especially because he is a lefty. My concern is he can't stay healthy. We do need another front line starter. With Gausman could 2021 be a fluke year? Seager could help, but Volpe (the real deal) and company will start showing up in a few years. Chris Taylor might be someone of interest too. The Yanks like Marte a lot. If they can't get satisfy the Snakes I'd consider him. He is versatile and can play multiple positions as well. Chapman might be done since he throws fewer fastballs than ever before.
I like Rizzo, but less than 4 years. Seager is the best option and better than Correa IMO. Agreed on coaching staff see ya. As much as Cashman should go, he won’t. Fire the analytics team. Gausman, meh. I don’t think he’s a difference maker, especially at that price. Get rid of Hicks. NO on Sanchez. Contreras would be a better option.
Duke - Was a catcher from little league thru college and was always trained to sit the Yogi Berra style when no one is on base and use this same style when men are on base to give your signs then hop to the semi squat style. Both styles allow you to frame pitches equally, but the semi squat style allows you to get rid of the ball quicker on a steal attempts. I agree with Tucker Barnhart instead of Sanchez. He drove me crazy with his leg extension which is an automatic risk for allowing passed balls. Yogi, Thurman Munson and Elston Howard were always my favorites.
I agree with you on Aaron judge 100% give him that deal and absolutely make him captain
Hopefully get some good trades from chapman and garbage gary.
Los Yankees lo que tienen que hacer es darle la oportunidad a sus propecto para que demuestren sus talentos , siempre que han jugado con ellos han ganado
Sure in a year or two, none of the major prospects are ready right now.
If he did this for every team I think I would become addicted to these kind of videos
Great video! Right on with your suggestions! I would trade Gallo, Andujar, Frazier, Voit and anyone in the minors that doesn’t have the name Dominguez or Volpe
Adujar and Frazier do not have ANY value in trades. They would just be throw ins at this point. A trade for Ketel Marte would have to include guys like Peraza, Gil, Schmidt, Medina, etc.
This is probably the most reasonable list I've seen thus far. People forget that if you get rid of Gary, you gotta replace him with something better, and he hits above average **for a catcher**.
Reasonable = 100 million over the luxury tax?
I love this Vid. Former Cubs manager was right that Rizzo was born to be a yankee because he's never give up and he can handle pressure well in NY. I hope he accept deal that is lower than the one he decline from cubs. I have a feeling that Dodgers may use various tactics to get Seager back. Hopefully we can get Seager. Judge deserves to be a long time Yankee. Cashman should have spent big like he did back in 2009 when he acquire CC, Burnett and Tex.
Britton goes but I wouldn’t mind have chap stick around, he really picked it up on the final stretch.
Agreed
One easy answer....Like George, spend more, don't worry about the luxury tax, prioritize winning. Winning needs to become number 1 with Hal and Hank, not money.
Hal and Hank ruined George's winning ways by being cheap under the luxury tax imo. Yankees would have won with George in charge
You do realize Hank is not ALIVE.
Yankees need to clean out some of their players . They know who they are including Boone mismanagement of the team .
List looks decent somewhat. I wouldn’t worry about Britton and Chapman. They are both on the final year of their contracts. Sanchez has always been a paycheck player. He has said in the past that he doesn’t enjoy playing and doesn’t care for the game much. 2022 will be his contract year. Remember how he played when he first came up and he wanted to stay up? He was a monster. Expect that kind of play next year. He wants a $100+ million contract. Hopefully Cashman isn’t dumb enough to give it to him. Severino will be healthy next year. He will easily hold down the #2 spot. Another year marred with injuries and he knows he will be cast off like Greg Bird. They should sign a veteran to a short contract for depth. Matt Boyd would be my choice. They do need to sign Rizzo to a 3 year $56m contract with an option year. Then sign a placeholder for SS. They have several talented prospects that are near ready. Why give $25m+ to a player that won’t be needed in 2023? Galvis, Brad Miller, Asdrubal Cabrera or Simmons would be perfect. The only big name SS they should have chased was Baez. They could have put him all over the diamond. Jorge Soler would be a good cheap choice for a bench bat OF depth signing.
The Yankees also should think about getting a new general manager
this is the key!
If Cashman is the GM at the beginning of next season then just forget about winning a championship for 5 more years.
We'll win one 3-5 years after we replace him and entire analytics + development departments.
And definitely don't acquire any pitchers from good teams like the Rays or Giants. Those teams actually have competent analytics staff. Bring them over and they'll Sonny Gray - guaranteed.
I don't see Rizzo signing for less than 100M..
I'm honestly tired of yankees buying big names and then have them flunk or get injured, I'm leaning towards bringing in guys from the farm like Velasquez that guy definitely has potential
I think you need a balance of both. Yankees buy high on guys with past performance. Other teams buy low on potential
He’s been cut from 4 organizations and is 27.
He’s a Bronx born Tyler wade
If we still had tanaka he should’ve definitely pitched in the wild card on the 5th he’s light out in the postseason
Get Gausman, Rodon, or Robbie Ray and either get a shortstop or make a huge trade for a big name player like, Ketel Marte, Matt Olsen, etc. If we do this we could be good again next year, and with a little change of coaching, definitely at least a new hitting coach.
Carlos Correa literally trashed talk the organization and the fan base. He ain't coming here, the dude called us Classless.
Why would NY fans want him gere is beyond me, Correa would rather retire than come here.
Well when the Yankee fan like everytime talk a lot of crap ,obviously tha players begin the hate the organization.
See if you can get anything for Clint, andujar, kriske, and hicks. If not DFA them.
Shedding about 20-30mil but gonna 100mil in yearly salary. What a dream but George ain’t walking into that office anytime soon
The Yankees need Greg Allen sign Aaron Judge to a long term deal get rid of Luke Voit he's injury prone. The Yankees also need another Ace pitcher behind Gerrit Cole. Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo needs to stay with the Yankees.
you're keeping Gallo?
Gallo?Oh~no
Gallo??? No way. I'm sick of these all and nothing guys. Gallo was a whole lotta nothing.

1. Hire Bochy or Showalter as Manager
2. Sign Rizzo
3. Trade Gleyber for Castillo
4. Trade Voit for Ketel Marte
5. Sign Rodon
6. Sign Seager or Correa
7. Trade Sanchez for Contreraz
Carry your balls with u Hal! Spend your 💰💰
Correa is not happening, especially after how the Yankees fans treated him. Correa will either stay in Houston or the Rangers or Tigers will overpaid for him.
fans think the Yankees players are so bad but then also think that you can just trade those "bad" players straight up for "better" players. This is why other people make fun of Yankees fans' trade proposals. You'd have to include top level prospects with Gleyber for Castillo, with Voit for Marte and with Gary for Contreras. Also, there is no need to even trade Gleyber at his current state because it is his lowest possible value and he actually showed that he still had it when they put him back at 2nd base. Not to mention that in the second half of the season he hit over .290 with an OPS near .800 and would have been on pace for a 20 HR/ 20 SB season.
I like position player moves however....our starting pitching is not set, after Cole it is a massive drop off.
Great evaluation. Only one tweak. In the outfield they should trade for Brian Reynolds, a switch hitter who has a good average, decent power, and fields well.
I agree with pretty much all of it I do think they should get rid of Sanchez Gardner and Hicks lastly I think we need to fire cashmen
Try to get Olson in a trade with the A's who is a better upgrade and a cheap contract. Trade Gallo for Adam Frazier. Get rid of Cashman,he is an idiot.I agree to move Chappy and Britton, but Chappy has a no-trade clause and Britton out most of the year. Disagree with you about SP,it takes an army to close out games. Trade Taillon and go after 2 SP if you can. Definitely go after Marte and Cubs catcher and try to get Reynolds from the Pirates.
Great video as always. Here is my take.
1) Do not think Rizzo is gonna be worth his market value. I prefer moving DJ back to 1B as he is under contract and to keep him fresh as he ages. Torres at 2B and Urshela at 3B full-time.
2) Seager is a must-get. Finally gives us a SS and a lefty .300 hitter we have not had since Robinson Cano.
3) Ketel Marte would be awesome. Fits the team perfectly as another contact-first guy. The cost will be crazy as it should be. I like the idea of Starling Marte too, but if we stand pat with Hicks, we need a better insurance policy than a 50-year-old Brett Gardner.
4) Just don't see us shelling out for pitching. Gausman would be cool, but I think Kluber or a Kluber-type pitcher on a one or two-year deal is more realistic.
5) Would love to move Britton. Ottavino-like move. I am okay with Chapman for next season.
6) Let Gary go. Need a new face back there. A defense-first catcher that can hit .200. Do not need more power in my opinion. I would call the Dodgers about Austin Barnes.
7) I would try to bring in one more reliever via FA or trade.
We are not as far away as everyone thinks. It may seem like a lot of moves, but it really isn't.
I agree 100% with this list

This ought to tick a nerve:
Max Scherzer on why he signed up with the Mets:
Cohen “looks at this as he wants to win a championship, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to win,” said Scherzer, the eight-time All-Star and 2019 World Series champ with the Nationals. “You don’t hear that from owners too often these days. When you can finally hear an owner want to do what it takes to win, obviously that piqued my interest.”
As a California kid i would love to see aaron judge with the green and gold with the Oakland a's
This is a SUPER optimistic list even for the Yankees. I'm a redsox fan but trying to be unbiased here. Anthony Rizzo, I agree with resigning, I would try for 2 years maybe 3, definitely not 4 though. Trading Chapman and or Britton? Fully agree. Chapman has really gotten exposed the last few years. He's been relying way too much on just being able to blow it by guys. He's still good but not worth what he's making. Getting Seager is one I agree with for the Yankees too. Price wise without moving Chap and Britton is going to be tough though, but you're also going to have to get rid of Urshela or Torres if you do this. Don't forget were also saving a good amount now that Gardner's contract is off the books. Maybe he's resigned, but not for nearly what he was making. I 100% do not agree with sticking with Sanchez. This lineup has enough power bats as it is, go out and find a defensive first catcher. See if you can find a guy with good on base and or average too, but defense is top priority. Sanchez has a lot of flaws on defense, but his frame rating is what costs the Yankees the most in my opinion. A guy who can frame well is going to shed some points off that team ERA and turn walks into strikeouts. I don't see how the Yankees can't sign Judge, that'd just be a mistake on all fronts. And lastly Ketel Marte is not going anywhere without Volpe or Dominguez going. I'm sorry, just not happening. Diamondbacks aren't going to trade their best player for anyone but the best. And if you don't offer them up you will lose out to some other team. I like that move f or him though. Plus he will still be under cheap contract for 1 more year after that I believe.
Very well thought out. Most Yankee fans are insane & expect the Yankees to buy everyone thinking it guaratees wins, it dont.
Wilson Contreras and German Marquez are great options, their teams would not ask too much for them. I still believe Severino can become the second ace, and Luis Gil can be a great fifth men.
The culture change starts with the owner. Hal needs to get rid of Cashman for the culture change to happen. Definitely don't pick up Britton's option. I'm all for trading Chapman. He's been good, but lately you need a pack of tums next to you every time he comes into a game. It only took Gausman almost 10 years to become a decent pitcher. I wouldn't bet on him, but maybe he could be a #3 or #4. I have a suggestion on Gary Sanchez.....get him a job bagging groceries. He's done nothing but regress. I'd rather have a 35 year old Buster Posey next season if he can give them a discount on his $22m salary if his option isn't picked up. I know that's a long shot though. Looks like their catching situation will remain horrible. Even when Gary is a FA in 2023 they will only have Willson Contreras to go after in FA. He's almost a mirror image of Sanchez. I agree about everything you've said about Judge. What I don't agree with is paying him $38m a season. $30m a season AT MOST! Their starting pitching is not good. The 2 guys I said would probably get hurt got hurt again. Kluber was hurt for 3 months and came close to a 4 ERA. Taillon got hurt at the end and had a 4.30 ERA. German was consistently inconsistent like always. Cole pitched like crap for most of the second half. Severino is a question mark health wise too. Cortez was a pleasant surprise, but we don't know if it was a fluke. Monty is a solid #4 starter. Not much to rely on there. Knowing the Yankees, they will sign a nobody again or another aging injured pitcher. They might even re-sign Kluber to another year.
I could see the Seager deal happening. Trea Turner is playing out of position at 2B for the Dodgers. But you’re wrong about not needing to address pitching shortcomings.
I like these ideas that you have here. Yes I absolutely agree about not signing Correa, I wouldn't want ANYONE associated with the Astros Scandal on the team at all. But I think you could've mentioned something being done with Brian Cashman, as he's just not been an acceptable GM. Plus, I think Sanchez needs to go; he just doesn't seem to care when he makes errors and doesn't hustle at all.
But yes yes YES, make Judge the new Captain.
Cashman has done a solid job honestly. he's been given a hard salary and he has made some great deals including voit, urshela, tauchman, trading chapman just to get him back, rizzo, peralta, and the list goes on. he never seems to give up any top prospects and he finds great role players. just because the team never meets expectations i dont think is on him all that much. the team on the field has been terribly mismanaged with terrible coaching. plus in 2017-2019 getting screwed in the playoffs by cheaters doesn't help either. but when we see hal let cash do his thing he always comes back with good returns. its the mentality of this team to eithewr hit a homerun or strikeout and coaching that kills this team.
Yankees are the biggest cheaters in sports so why wouldn't they sign Correa?
Rizzo getting more than that but yea this sounds like really a great offseason
They need another reliable ace. If Sherzer is a free agent the Yankeed should be all over him. After Cole the Yankees rotation seemed like alot of "this kid(s) could be great one day if he can just stay healthy". Thats not going to cut it. You need your top ace to be your stopper, and a second ace to get momentum moving in youre direction in a playoff series.
I'm a Gary stan but i agree if a better option presents itself you cant say no. He's an average catcher with a high ceiling so likely has trade value elsewhere.
@John Winters keep ur lack of a life in the comment section it's better this way.
Great video. I was with you right up to "KEEP GARY SANCHEZ " portion of the video. You almost had me bro.
I agree not only does he suck he is lazy and he just doesn’t care,,,,Cant field , can’t hit has no baseball IQ and he most certainly can’t frame pitches,,,And honestly I would prefer higgy to have Top spot,,,Make Sanchez second string
I hope cashman keeps Arron judge because if he does and name him captain we are set up for a World Series.
We need a new catcher gray and his knee down and the wild pitches they had last year was horrible
*Aaron
*Gary
They need to get Garry off the knee and I think he’d do just fine defensively. His arm is all he has going for him until he can frame well while crouched.
World Series, hey Daniel stop being such a homie dumbass Yankee fan
Expect alot of teams to be lining up to Gausman. Toronto who could be losing Robbie Ray might be interested, Seattle who will lose Anderson via free agency and I don't think they trust Kukuchi will be interested in him too and you know SF will be trying hard to retain him.
I agree with everything you said but i would have 2 changes for my Yankees offseason. Instead of trading for Ketel Marte trade for Matt Olsen over signing Rizzo. He is better offensively and defensively than Rizzo and cheaper. Sign Sterling Marte to a 3 year 39 million dollar deal. He may not be as young and slightly worse hitter and defensively the Ketel (not by an extreme amount) but he is a great base stealer (47 this year) which is something the Yankees were lacking and Ketel is nowhere near him in this. Ketel cost about 9 million less than over the deal but you make that up with the saving at first. Move Arron Hicks to left to save his health in a less stressful position and trade Gallo as part of the Olsen deal are the only other things I would add.
So first I think cutting ties with Gary Sanchez, Chapman, Britton is needed. If you are keeping Rizzo and bringing in Seager then I say take the hit in offense and bring a defensive catcher in.
Judge well I just don’t know what to say. I’m just so nervous about signing him for that long. I would go 4 or maybe 5 years. But man the Hicks and Sevy deals….scare me from that type of move
I would not spend the money for a big time SS. Just get a defensive minded, speed player to hold down the fort for a couple of years tops for Volpe. We need pitching. Our bullpen needs help too, specifically a closer. You should lose weight sweating every time you put your closer in. Otherwise, I think it’s pretty good. Once thing I want to say is don’t give up on Gallo yet. He put too much pressure on himself being a life long Yankee fan and knowing how excited the fan base was to get him. Year 2, he will be more relaxed. A new hitting coach maybe can adjust his swing a bit to flatten it out a touch, to get more contact. If he’s not panning out, you can trade him before the deadline. He’s relatively cheap so not much to lose. On Sanchez, I would get rid of him. I know Higgy can’t hit a lick, but pitchers like throwing to him and frankly he wasn’t far off of Sanchez’s numbers when extrapolated out anyway. The only other suggestion would be to package Gleyber, Sanchez and a few prospects for Matt Olsen instead of signing Rizzo. Rizzo is a good player, great clubhouse guy, but clearly on the back nine of his career. Offense is slowing down and it’s just a matter of time before defense does too.
Yankees have a way of taking good players from other teams and fucking them up. Get rid of the hitting staff, physical conditioning staff, whoever fucked up Gary Sanchez by making him catch from one knee (guy can't catch, frame, or have baseball sense and don't get me started on his base running). A whole bunch of players need to go: Heaney, Sanchez, Voit, Hicks, Gardner, Gallo, anyone with an ERA over 4, anyone with an avg under .200 who played everyday.
That is a wish list for the Yankees. But I am not sure Rizzo can be kept with 65 mil contract. He just turned down 70mil from the Cubs. He surely is looking for higher payroll than 65 mil. And with his ages, he is looking for longer term deals too.
I totally agree with keeping Judge for multi year deals. Yankees can make the money back just by selling all those 99 jerseys and his accessories. He shines in the New York bright lights and he draws fans to buy tickets to the stadium. That is called good business judgement.
Like everything but I just think Seager and Rizzo worth more. 6 years 174 for Seager 5 years 95 for Rizzo. Let go of Gleyber and Voit. Try and trade Brit and Hicks. Sign Chris Taylor and Adam Ottavino
Bro what you think the Red Sox are going to trade to the Yankees?
I personally think that Willson Conteras is an upgrade over Gary. He is far better defensively, more consistent offensively, and knows how to run a pitching staff. I would trade for him in a heartbeat.
Wilson is a prime age catcher that has a championship to his name and can handle big situations. Gary is not a consistent bat at all. Second new York could break the bank on Carlos Correa and shift Gleyber to second where he's thrived. If Rizzo doesn't sign a deal with new York which Cashman should do they can shift DJ to First and use Luke Voit as DH. The lineup could be :
Dj Lemehui
Aaron Judge
Giancarlo Stanton
Carlos Correa
Joey Gallo
Gleyber Torres
Wilson conteras
Gio Urshela
Straight swap Sanchez to Contreraz or add some minor leaguers for the Cubs catcher.
Gausman is great, but there are plenty of options in the FA market (by the means of plenty it's many) you can go with vets (JV, Grienke, Kershaw, Scherzer, Tanaka, etc.) You can go with uprising talents (Gausman, Ray, Rodon, etc.). But for me one way or another cash is not gonna spend that much money on one pitcher, the analytics department will once again do their jobs and find a supposedly "diamond in the rough" pitcher and stick with it throughout the season.
Sign Jeter, Posada, Rivera!!! Yw enough said!!!😂😂
Agree w everything except Gary Sanchez. I think that with Cory Seager/Carlos Correa at short and Marte in outfield, we can justify giving up some power in catcher position. Higashioka is a defensively sound player with a below average stick, who could be supplemented with another catcher who has an above avg stick (for a catcher) and avg defense.
Cory Seager and Ketel would be perfect fits to fill the gap in the lineup-we need more players like that hitting above average in order to maintain pressure on an opposing pitcher, and the threat of lefty hitters in yankee stadium makes it harder to pitch around a lineup where judge or Stanton can also clear the bases.
DJ is honestly a toss up for me. I wouldn’t be too upset with whatever they choose to do with him. I can see him having another all star season, but to say he is still in his prime is probably an overstatement.
Gleyber Torres needs to stay at second base and needs more development in his bat. I believe that he has been mismanaged and I think he has the ability to return as an offensive threat
And lastly, maybe a hot take, but Yankees need to loosen up their culture. They need to not be so strict with appearances. They need to stop treating players like they’re selling a product, and recognize that good baseball is the main attractiveness to fans. They need to win a World Series soon
I definitely agree with cleaning house regarding the coaching staff but if they acquire a new manager he's gonna have to be in full control! This business with consulting an analytic playbook to determine what should be done in any particular game moment is ridiculous. I give Boone credit in general for being able to navigate unbelievable difficult circumstances these past few seasons but more than a few times this season he's looked as if he's in over his head as he makes what many considered questionable in-game decisions to put it nicely. It just seems to be the right moment to have a change of pace and bring in a seasoned much more experienced coach to lead the team. If they continue with exactly what they've been doing all along, they would be foolish to expect different results
Is there a way we can get rid of Hal???
If ketel marte is too expensive go for chris taylor
He's a utility player,plays really good defense and has some good pop
For catcher
Go for Manny Pina
Him and higgie would be so good
You analysis was great 👍
Thanks Carlos!
Acquiring Seager and Gausman would make this the perfect offseason
still need a center fielder...allen, florial and hicks are 4th outfielders...
What about Gerritt Cole ? Did he put one over on the Yanks?
And will somebody please tell me are the Red Sox really that much better than the Yanks? I really didn't think they'd put Tampa away like they did. I'm in shock.
I’m rolling with the kids from the farm. Hand em the keys and say “listen, you can’t fucking do worse than the guys you’re replacing, so have some fucking fun”.
Seager would be a good fit because the analytics and even brain cashman has said they like volpe as A 2ed baseman
Yes as a die hard yankee fans wherever has lived. We did a hackable job getting into playoff from an unusual start of season. Sad for quick exit but add few needed pieces go along with a talented, stack team coming year. Get Boone top coaches helping, stay healthy. We can win a championship after drought surely. Again sign our important players and not let loose to free agent. As supported fan always win or lose. Do everything owners bring NY Yankees nation all over. What been looking for these many years another championship to Big Apple.🙏🙏👍
Corey Seager will make or break the yankees off-season. Hes a no brainer absolute must sign of the decade
You don't see any better options at catcher defensively? You have to be strong defensively up the middle. You want the whole team that way, but especially up the middle. I agree with you about Judge. Name him captain already.
Judge would become the 16th captain in franchise history.
Here are my steps to improving the Yankees for 2022 moving forward..
1. Acquire a legit #2 starter
2. Resign Rizzo at 1B
3. Don't bring back Odor, Voit, and all due respect to Gardy it's time to retire.
4. Get rid of Hicks he's injury prone, unless you want to see what he can give starting next season...if not trade at the trading deadline...
5. Get a good back up catcher if you decide to stick with Gary Sanchez..Higgy sid a good job but his offensive numbers were lacking.
Trade Gary. Sign gomes from oakland
@@miamicaneno1 That would be a good replacement or how about Wilson Ramos.
Sanchez need to practice catching Cole.
I kind of agree with the notion of getting a #2 starter. We haven’t seen ace Sevy in a long time now so who knows what he’s going to be down the road. Realistically we have a Cole and about 5 #4s and #5s. And Kluber is not that guy either so definitely avoid resigning him. He did well enough to earn a contract from a MLB team for next year. Just not from us.
I agree with everything you said in fact I had the exact same thoughts. Rizzo definitely and Seagers left handed stick. All right handed SS in the FA market. My concern is his defense but like you mentioned he could possibly move to 3rd in a few years. (Although I’m not giving up on Urshela just saying) Marte in centerfield i thought they’d get him at the 31st deadline. Hopefully they can still get him during the off-season. My only concern is his defense as well day in and day out in centerfield. I know you said you were open to suggestions in regards catching. I would go defense first we have enough offense. I’d sign Romine again and let him and Higashioka split time or play the hot hand. I know that would never happen but that’s me. Either way I’d still go defense first at catching and any offense would be a plus. Mike Stanley out Joe Girardi in 1996
This is a great list and I would love to see all of these moves. I don't trust the Yankees front office to be this creative but I hope I'm wrong.
Gary either has to be able to start catching for cole and every other pitcher or he needs to go. They can’t play backups in one off big games because our ace isn’t confident in his abilities
As always great job. I agree on pretty much everything. We are winning it all next year fuc Boston Tampa and every other team we will be coming for their dreams and turn them into their nightmares Yankees and Dan #1
I hope so, and definitely think that we will be competitive.
MLBtraderumors suggested that the Cubs could look to move Wilson Contreras, as he is one season away from free agency. Also, if they can’t convince the D’Backs to move Ketel Marte, I would consider Starling Marte. He’s older but he’s athletic, he steals bases and he plays great defense.
Bryan Reynolds
@@jonathonedwardmiller Would also be really, really hard to acquire in a trade. He’s cheap for awhile yet and the Pirates need a few players they can sell to their fans as the building blocks of the next relevant Pittsburgh team.
We don’t need a ss, we got 2 MLB ready SS and Volpe is close to making the roster as well
True! And we're where we're at because we keep going outside the house for Free Agents who cost an arm and a leg.
Idk why people keep saying this Volpe hasn’t even played double A yet 😂😂
@@bojettywap4597 he can climb up the minors like Soto and Harper did bro. If Volpe start the year at Double AA it can be a sign the he can be a September call up
@@dauryc1270 who’s playing SS all the way through September? Tyler Wade? What if volpe isn’t as good next year? Both Correa and Seager are projected to move to third and Correa played great third base in the WBC (Idk if we would want Correa or Correa would want to play for us) you could let volpe develop and when it’s time move Seager or Correa to third and volpe to SS or someone to 2B, there’s no promise these guys will be good. Look at gleyber, Clint, Andujar etc. I’m tired of holding these prospects high like they’ve actually ever done anything.
You can’t bank on a kid to make it
Get the proven player
If volpe can play
They’ll move him to third or move trade torres and put him at second
SS is too premium of a position to let up to chance
Judge as captain 💯
Their estimated 2022 payroll is 193 million. Lets say they deal Britton (they're going to have to retain some of his salary to deal him, but lets say they can get it all of their books) and deal voit. Britton's contract is worth 14 and Voit's is worth 5.25, creating 19.25 million in space, making their payroll 173.75. Signing Rizzo (16.25 per year at your contract), Seager (24 per year at your contract), Gausman (22 per year at your contract), Marte (8, his current 2022 Salary), and El Gary (7.5 projected 2022 salary), would make their payroll 251.5 million, 40 mil over the tax threshold, BEFORE Judge's extension even kicks in. Just not sure it can get done. I know you said most, not all, but I'm not even sure they can achieve half of these. Also, Steinbrener is keeping Boone LOL
articulate and persuasive
Yes seager is a good shortstop & i would difinitly get Rid of Hicks & sign marte to play center field as far as 1st base i would Resign Rizzo to a 4 yr $50 million contract he's 31 or 32 when & if they sign him he'll be 36 when his contract is up, now let's see what Steinbrenner does with the free agency market let's see if he spends the money & the feeling I'm getting is he's not gonna go over that tax for 2022 if you want to compete mr Steinbrenner you have to spend that money you have to get good player's that will do good in new york. 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
No Sanchez ...Yankees can get 2 guys for the price he will be offer this coming season..
According to spotrac the Yankees have 162 million on 10 players that either they won't trade or no one will trade for unless the Yankees eat most of the money... that's less than 40% of the team...
And here we go (roughly what he's suggesting)...
Rizzo: 16x4
Seager: 24x7
Gausman: 22x5
Sanchez: 7.5 million (estimated)
Marte: 8 million (estimated)
Judge: 38x6
Judge makes 17 million now...
So this is where this guy is at after his moves:
Cole, Chapman, Britton, Stanton, Judge, LeMahieu, Odor, Severino, Hicks, Sanchez, Seager, Gausman, Marte, Rizzo....
That's 14 players...
You're at 262 million for about half the team...
That's without an extension for Torres, Sanchez, or Marte...
This guy doesn't live on this planet. No one is going to pay Chapman or Britton what the Yankees do unless you unload your 3 best prospects that would be going to Arizona for Marte...
Marte would cost Garcia, Volpe, and Stanford...
With the other dozen players and additional from 40 man, this is $300 million before the luxury tax...
Lmao, how to fix the Yankees...
Trade Britton and Chapman for Trout and Ohtani, sign Correa for the minimun.... lmao...
Yankees are screwed with their long term deals... 100 million for 4 player before Judge or Torres extensions...
1. If you can get Rizzo cheap enough, then yes, but I feel like it would be a bit too risky at this point, and maybe you ride it out with Voit until Austin Wells comes up
2. We absolutely need an upgrade at SS. Seager's a great option, but if Volpe can somehow come up this year, he could be a fantastic option too
3. Thames needs to go no question, but I'm a little bit worried about the clubhouse situation if they let Boone go
4. Britton's untradeable at this point, but I'm not opposed to Chapman getting dealt if they could grab a couple more solid bullpen arms in the offseason and convert Loasiga to the full time closer
5. Waaaaay too risky for Gausman who's really only had this one fantastic year. I wouldn't be opposed to it if it were a shorter contract though
6. Marte is good if you don't give up top prospects. The issue is, they probably can't get away with it if they don't give up a guy like Volpe or Peraza, which wouldn't be smart
7. I love Gary when he's good, but we need a defensive upgrade DESPERATELY if we can get one
8. Judge needs a megadeal and the captaincy, no questions asked
Overall, I like your ideas, Dan, but I think we need an injection of young talent again instead of signing a ton of veterans to long, expensive contracts. The Yanks have got to at least get a bit of the Baby Bombers mentality back
No way voit is back his personality and talent suck
Wait did Cashman actually ask judge for permission to sign Stanton. Lmaooooo
more so made sure he was okay with it. Ran the idea by him and Judge said absolutely
