I didn't want Semien, but it looks like he's headed to Texas. What's Cashman's play this winter? "We tried to sign someone, but the market was dry. Urshela to SS, DJLM to third, Voit at first."

Before anyone starts, my preference is Story. Next would be Seager, but I worry about injuries. Though I saw a suggestion that Gregorius might be available, which I would be all for as a stopgap till one of the MiLB guys is ready.

TBH all 3 of those guys should be considered only stopgaps at SS for us.

I've said it from the beginning, I really think Cash is going to try to reel in a stopgap like an Andrelton Simmons for a year until the kids are ready. I don't think we'll be aggressive on Story, Seager or Correia.

I'd have been a lot cooler with this strategy if it also resulted in a new pricy center fielder who will now be plying his trade across town, but I'm still ok with it provided they spend big to upgrade the bridge to Chappy, the rotation and first base.

Huh? Correa, Seager, Story, and Baez all available. Cashman’s play is not bidding against himself. Who are the suitors for the top guys right now?

Siemien is by far the worst defensively out of all of them and he’s 5 years older than Correa/Seager.

Siemien won a gold glove this year, playing a different position.  His age was his only concern.

Pretty much how I'm feeling. Toronto is probably better on paper than the Yankees right now. Tampa Bay is always better, regardless of their roster. And Boston was better last season. You would think there would be a sense of urgency, but nah.

we have holes in the INF and in the bullpen still.  Lots of work to do.

Blue Jays were already better last season though. Just couldn't win the close games.

I'm not big on Baez and I don't want Correa.

Who's pitching next year?

Yup. Hal's trying to figure out how he can pay less in salary.

Boss George is rolling in his grave today at the headlines coming from across the Triboro.

They tendered contracts to all eligible players. So, for now at least, El Gary, Luke, and Andujar are still Yankees.

Ok

Yankees playing 4D chess.

"Not signing anyone you say? Not playing next year we say!"
