I know he's not a star or complete difference maker, but I think he'd be cheaper than Bader, and create more flexibility.
I'd go either him or Bader, whichever I can get cheaper.

Listening to an interview with Arod and he's saying EXACTLY what I've been saying about Volpe. He's not going to be successful with his current, uppercut, all out swing. He should be leveling out his swing, or swinging down at the ball, more like Jeter did, and take advantage of his speed. What the f#ck is so hard to understand about this???

Sean Casey retired at 33, maybe they brought him in to convince Stanton and DJ to call it quits since he has no other insight to share on what to do when you're an aging hitter who can no longer compete at a high level.

Really not looking forward to seeing the Yankees getting swept by the Royals.

Perez sticks out like a sore thumb in their lineup. I know he's a fan favorite but why wouldn't they look to trade that guy

Do you honestly think the Blue Jays who are ahead of the Yankees in the standings and have a Wild Card slot are going to trade away Kiermaier to make the Yankees better?

Or do you mean next year as a free agent?

Just what they need; another injury plagued player.

Well, they did say they were looking to upgrade at catcher. Now it's justified.

I can approve of this.

At least the bullpen didn't blow this game to. I wonder if this will indeed be the turning point once again like the Royals provided in 1995.

I was responding to the list of free agents. I'm not looking to acquire anyone this season, we suck.

I think he's a great fit in the offseason for Yankee stadium, and for a team that needs to get some shorter term commitments while providing opportunities for younger players

How is Rizzo still at .244? I can't even remember his last hits

Sooooooo you have guys on 1st and 3rd with 1 out. Stanton is up to bat and works a 2-0 count only to take the next 2 pitches in the zone. Then strikes out swinging with one out the zone. Make it make sense. Just put the damn ball in play. Mind blowing. Moneyball virus has infected this entire franchise top to bottom

I'll take it. A series win. Stanton 6 hr in his last 10 games.

He's having a decent year this year at the plate, but he's still a career ,.249 hitter with not much power.
