Yanks decline to offer Didi a QO.

Goodbye?

Sounds like he wanted to stay. If he really does, he should be fine with taking the $10M AAV that Hicks and Sevy took. Or less.

I love Didi, but we’re probably better off with Gleyber at short.  I’m sure we could find a way to make it work, but we already have a jammed infield and other guys on the roster bubble that we have to find a spot for or trade. It really sucks for him that his contract year came during his Tommy John return/recovery.

It really sucks if Didi leaves, but like SFD said, there's a big logjam in the infield. Personally, I'd prefer to go into camp with Didi at short, Gleyber at 2B, make 3B a competition between Urshela and Andujar, let Voit, Ford, and Bird battle for 1B, and keep LaMahieu as the everyday gives-someone-the-day-off man.

“CC Sabathia is making one last Yankees pitch — to get Gerrit Cole in pinstripes, that is.

The recently retired Yankees hurler said he has spoken “many times” with the most coveted free agent in this winter’s class, and that “if you give that lover of the older lady enough money, he’s going to want to come here.”

“Me and Gerrit Cole have spoken at length many times about me pitching as a Yankee as a West Coast Guy,” Sabathia said. “This is crazy, this is shaping out… like the same offseason I had.”

If Cole has an issue with alcoholism CC is the guy you want in his ear

Yankees and Brett Gardner are already talking about trying to stay together contractually. Why not? It’s been a fantastic marriage for both. Longest tenured Yankee had career highs in HR (28) and OPS (.829) in 2019.

I'll say "I like it" with the caveat that who knows? Cleveland has churned out some really good pitching and they were trying to give him the job he got with the Yankees to stay.

Cone would've been a "feel good" story, but at the end of the day, who knows if he has the ability to teach pitchers? I love him in the booth, but that doesn't necessarily equate to being able to translate the data to guys mechanically.

Anyone else know that Josh Bard got fired?

Carlos Mendoza has been named the Yankees' new bench coach.
Mendoza served as the Yankees' infield instructor in 2019 but will now slide into a dugout role for manager Aaron Boone. Josh Bard, the Yankees' former bench coach, has been dismissed from the organization.
