OT: MLB Thread 2024

[NickyFotiu]

I read that Alonzo is speaking with the Mets and the Yanks which makes sense. If you are the Yanks and you feel that Alonzo will sign with the Mets do you try to push the price up? Or is that too petty?

no. waste of time.

Alonso shouldn't be anywhere near here anyway. Need infield defense and Alonso is among the worst at 1B

Probably not because that's putting in energy that could be better spent elsewhere.

Also you don't want to push your luck and accidentally end up signing Pete Alonso lol.

I'm all for defense but would like his power as well. Talk is Bellinger and Bergmen may be targets as well.

I hate the guy but Bregman is a much better fit for the Yankees than Alonso.

 

[Raspewtin]

besides the initial disgust i'd feel having that cheating f*** on this team, he'd be a massive boost defensively. offensively ehhhh and the contract will be horrible but i'd learn to tolerate him

as currently constructed we'd have a whole year of pitching around Judge with no real big threat. I don't know what you do about that besides pray that VOlpe, Wells, and Jasson are better than league average offensively.

He doesn’t strike out 130+ times every year, so that’s a giant positive for the Yankees. It seems like being really good at striking out is what Cashman covets most in a player.

It's amazing how entrenched MLB is in analytics and yet useless sacks of shit like Anthony Santander will command big money.

You're referring to Alonso, right?

We were talking about Bregman, but I'm sure the Yankees will sign Alonso knowing Cashman loves batters that strikeout

 

[Raspewtin]

Bellinger to the Yankees. He's pricey but got a 3 WAR player for nothing. Cool

I expect nothing less than his 2019 year
