[mrmel29]

We must have typed together mess just add mine to yours

 

[yankeesince59]

Pros; Still in his prime, can play CF or 1B, short term upgrade over Rizzo. Cons; injury prone.

 

[Messiah717]

Still need another two bats.

Still need another two bats.

^^^3rd base, preferably a RHed bat...and then move Chisholm back to 2B.

hello all...i am not thrilled with the offseason, nor with the end of last season...
losing Soto is absolutely fucking bad. lefty bat.. spirited... not just a all or nothing hitter... and we lose him because of a luxury box? George is rolling in his grave..

I worry when other teams that have good management allow pitchers leave... i fear we are getting another paxton or rodon...

Im good with the addition of the closer, giving up Nester im ok with....

getting Cody adding another 90 plus strike outs is not something i want for this team,

Did we upgrade ar first with goldschmidt?

 

[Messiah717]

Did we upgrade ar first with goldschmidt?

I don’t like it. Has declined for two years so I don’t see that as a good replacement for Rizzo. Soto and Torres out for Bellinger and Goldschmidt? Nope, that’s not better.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I wonder which Bellinger we're going to get?
