OFFICIAL 2022 New York Yankees thread

[Andrew Ryan]

I have to imagine we're going to try to upgrade Gallo/Hicks at the deadline. I'd also love to upgrade IKF, but they seem to like him.

Volpe/Peraza is your IKF upgrade whenever one of them is ready.

Volpe/Peraza is your IKF upgrade whenever one of them is ready.

Trying to win in 2022 not 2023 and 2024 yet. IKF is here to be a bridge, but this has been one of the best Yankees teams of all time through this point of the regular season. You have to take advantage of this and try to win now.

Few different routes they could go for an upgrade.

They need another SP, I think everyone agrees on that.

Two obvious position players they can upgrade on are Gallo and IKF. Gallo they would probably flip for spare parts, but IKF has always best suited for a super utility role. Find someone that can play a legit SS, move IKF to the bench, and cut ties with Marwin (even though he’s been pretty good).

I would be fine with IKF’s zero offense if he was playing good defense. Metrics and eye test have been saying he’s below average the entire year. Possibly in the bottom 1/3 of shortstops.

Pretty much all of this. I wasn't even that keen on getting another SP but the last few weeks changed my mind.

Nestor was due for some regression. Taillon hasn’t looked right in a while.

Castillo has to be the priority but the Derby had me dreaming of Soto in pinstripes. He'd hit 100 in Yankee Stadium.

But no chance I'm giving up Volpe.

I'd give up the farm for Soto. Volpe would hurt but I'd do it. Of course the dream would be to center a package around Peraza, Dominguez, and whatever other prospects while keeping Volpe.

[SixFeetDeep]

It would def have to include Volpe, if not Gleyber and Volpe.
