[Badger]

Cash said a bunch of stuff today. Discuss.

Good

Not so good

LeMahieu is under contract through 2026 and we have Cabrera/Peraza and soon Volpe to play with. There's no good reason JD should be regularly starting.

There's not even a poor reason he should even be on the roster

How about as an insanely expensive defensive sub?

[Johnny English]

Josh played the best ball of his career under John Gibbons, so it's pretty obvious what you need to do.

[Derek Smalls]

What is Cashman supposed to say? He is always going to hype up the guys under contract.

I hope Josh is gone. Not a fun player to root for and he couldn't hit this year. I dont know if he will be back or not, but Cashman isn't going to tip his hand publicly either way.

Yeah but still (freak that guy)

He said exactly what he should have. It’s gonna be impossible to move that contract, let’s not broadcast it to the world that he’s washed. He was great defensively and should perform better offensively next year after an outlier down year. These things are true

He’s very washed though

[Heismanberg]

You guys should bring back Chase Headley

[mj2sexay]

Donaldson is going to be on the roster. So is Hicks. People aren't taking on those contracts unless the Yanks pay a significant portion of it. Something Hal will be reluctant to do.

There's absolutely zero reason either of them need to be playing regularly, especially if DJ comes back healthy, or if they think one of the young kids are ready and can move IKF back to a position in which he won a gold glove.

What would everyones plan be for free agency outside of retaining Judge? I think the bullpen should be a point of emphasis and wouldn't mind a guy like an Andrew Chafin, wouldn't mind Seth Lugo, wouldn't mind bringing back Green, etc. but the top reliever market now that Diaz is out of play looks like excrement. Kenley can't get through a year with his health intact and has never been good in the big spot. I want no part of Kimbrel.

First base, if Rizzo gets out of hand I think the obvious pivot is Abreu. 

[Badger]

Sign Carlos Rodon

[mj2sexay]

Sign Carlos Rodon

I'd love Rodon.

A rotation (health permitting of course) of Cole, Rodon, Nestor, Sevvy, and whoever wins a battle out of Montas/German/Schmidt would be pretty freaking gross.

Not for nothing, but it would further drive home how Monty had to be sacrificed to the alter of Bader. And I'm not in a charitable mood when it comes to Cash these days.

If they missed out on Judge I would want to sign an impact bat and a top line SP

Trea Turner, Carlos Correa, Willson Contreras move the needle for me.
Xander or Dansby would be great additions but probably not game changers.

Rodon, deGrom, Verlander for SPs

Am I just in denial that Judge is out the door?

If he does go, a lot more needs to be made about Cashman's completely idiotic decision to go public with the terms they offered him before the year. There was absolutely no upside to it.
