Teoscar will be on the trade block.

Seems like a subtraction by subtraction type move

“Going to tweet some stats about Judge to try to put this season in perspective. He’s been unbelievable, and you may not even realize just how good he has been.

1. Aaron Judge has 11.5 fWAR this year, tying 1956 Mickey Mantle for the highest non-Bonds total since integration.

2. His 208 wRC+ puts him in the company of just Mantle, Williams, and Bonds since integration.

3. Only Babe Ruth (6x) and Lou Gehrig (1x) have posted seasons of more than 11.5 fWAR as Yankees.

4. Only Ruth, Gehrig, and Mantle have posted seasons of better than a 208 wRC+ w/ NYY.

5. Judge has been worth .9 more fWAR than 2018 Mookie Betts and 1.3 more fWAR than 2013 Mike Trout.

6. His 11.5 fWAR season is 1.5 fWAR better than A-Rod’s 10.0 in his best season, 2002.

7. Of course, Judge is the only player ever to hit more than 61 home runs without the use of PEDs, and just the second player ever to pass Ruth in a clean season.

Please appreciate the season you have just watched Aaron Judge have. In a year with a relatively dead ball, against the best pitching there has ever been, while playing a new position, Aaron Judge delivered the best post-integration season by someone not named Barry Bonds.

If you ever wondered what it was like to watch Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, or even some seasons of Babe Ruth (13 fWAR, 60 HR, 212 wRC+ in 1927), it was like this. Aaron Judge is a generational player who just had an all-time great season.“

“Good morning.

The 2022 Yankees recorded the highest team DRS in MLB history, at +129.

The stat went on record in 2003.”

The Yankees leaned super hard into defense this season at the expense of offense in spots. I'm not sure I fully agree with the strategy, but at least the defense was as advertised.

And this is before Harry Bader enters the lineup full-time.

[SixFeetDeep]

Aaron Judge led MLB with 62 HR. The next-highest total was Kyle Schwarber’s 46 HR.

That difference of 16 HR is the largest gap between 1st and 2nd place across the Majors since 1932 (when Jimmie Foxx hit 58 HR to Babe Ruth’s 41).

Not aimed at you, but can we revisit the narrative that last years team was awful defensively due to poor managing? If my math is correct that would mean Boone is now the greatest manager of all time (since 2003)

Biggest spot it paid off was Catcher by far

Donaldson was amazing defensively, but without looking at numbers it feels like him for Gio was a wash

IKF was awful at times but he was def better than Gleyber

[SixFeetDeep]

These were the Yankees' top DRS performers:

1. Jose Trevino (C): +21
2. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (SS): +10
3. Oswaldo Cabrera: (RF): +9
4. Gleyber Torres (2B): +9
5. Josh Donaldson (3B): +8
6. DJ LeMahieu (3B): +8
7. Aaron Hicks (LF): +8
