7 Free Agent & Trade Targets for Yankees

[@jasoniorio4528]

i'd say that Snell, Ohtani, and Soto are pretty much off the table given the financial picture. Once you add in the contracts for all the arbitration eligible players, you probably only have 10-15 million of pre tax threshold room. So anything big is immediately over the line. Bellinger is a strong contender, and probably makes the most sense to spend a bit on for the Yanks. i could also see some mid-tier starters (10-12 mil/year range) to thicken up the rotation depth. I'd like to see them sign Hyun-Jin Ryu to a cheap deal. That surgically repaired arm has seemed fine in his few starts back, and he could be a great value pick-up.

[@Gamesoldier68]

Thanks for the video. As much as I love Soto, way too expensive in regards to farm system trades and free agency price tag. If there is one thing we have learned from the Baltimore Orioles, is the farm system will eventually pay dividends. We have a great group of young talent headed our way and I think the team is only going to get better. These final games have already proven this. I think the addition of one more pitcher and Cody Bellinger would have the Yankees ready for the 2024 season. Thanks again for the video and GO Yankees!!!

[@lamasizzy0599]

Soto is a must. The Yanks walked on Harper that can’t happen again. Of all the young studs he’s the only one hitting FA. Acuna, Julio, Yordan, and Tatis are locked up.

[@Gamesoldier68]

@@Tylerrrrrb I would not say its complete garbage. They've developed some pretty good players. Jasson Dominguez looked pretty amazing before he got hurt. Volpe just needs some more time. Austin Wells looks pretty good but needs time. Some pretty good pitching prospects as well. Love Juan Soto, but he has shown weaknesses as well. His age does make a difference however. Would be a tough choice for sure.

Bader was a beast and he singlehandedly carried the Yanks along their postseason run last year, too bad he's injury prone and had an awful season at the plate. I'd take him any day of the week over Hicks. But they're all gone now so yeah, lol

[@FoF1212]

They had a trade for Pablo Lopez that fell through at the last minute. But yeah... very bizarre to trade an extremely solid middle rotation guy (who has only gotten better since leaving the Yankees) for a defensive center fielder with an injury history. Even when Bader was raking for the Yanks, it felt like they could've gotten him for way way less than what they gave up.

[@Nelyanks0323]

If the Yankees gonna do anything to improve the team , writers should keep it away from the press until it becomes official. It will keep other teams from competing with them and raising offers or dollar figures.

[@SirManfly]

I do not want to see the Yanks blow all of their young talent to get an established player!

[@El_Camdino]

I agree with Yamamoto and lee. Bellinger is risky, but I think he’s worth it as long as they don’t overpay. As much as I love ohtani 500 mil+ is way to risky for someone with 2 Tommy John’s surgeries. No point trading for soto when you can wait a year to nab him in free agency, and Montgomery would be an amazing pickup if they don’t manage to sign Yamamoto.

[@albertelnen9144]

Now Soto turned down a 440m deal from nats. Which they traded him right after. So he might be looking at Ohtani money. He's never impressed me. But a lot of Folks like him.

Hes perfect for Yankee stadium. They'd never trade the needed assets for him however. This team is light years away from real contention. They need 3 of your list easily. Thanks Derek! ⚾️

[@susanmenegus5543]

👍.

[@pip393]

Not quite, considering the Judge contract Ohtani might be out of reach even for the Yankees. As you know the Yanks are desperately in need of left handed hitters and even though Ohtani does bat left handed the Yanks would be better advised to spend what it would take to lock in Ohtani by obtaining two other really good players elsewhere for the same price. After this abysmal season obviously the team requires a complete revamp from upper management down. The Cashman and Boone era has run its course and this is a really old team. What more will it take to prove that Cashman (with his many disastrous trade failures) cannot recognize young talent capable of delivering consistent quality baseball. The entire team with the exception of a few is a major disappointment and both Cashman and Boonie should pay the price. This is the New York Yankees for God's sake and the city does not deserve this never ending level of sub par catastrophic play.

[@biggernbetta70]

Agree with this assessment 💯

[@HallaPlaygaming]

I totally agree two more players for what would we would pay Ohtani makes sense, problem is what two players? Currently we need LF,CF,1B and weak at 3B, C and SS honestly, I had high hopes for Volpe but honestly .200 avg 160 plus strikeouts with good speed but does not get on base and somewhat a weak arm. Peraza also did not impress, its hard to watch because we have become so use to strikeouts and low batting avg but high HR that have resulted in nothing since 2009. Bellinger in CF I would like, move on from injured players some how, Stanton, Rizzo, even DJ has fallen off the map and is now just a really good glove with so so pop. Its depressing. @@pip393

[@GodDogofVice]

Ohtani and Yoshi are the only players I would strongly pursue in this class. The rest of my efforts in the offseason would be to somehow someway get Stanton the hell off the roster.

[@sportscardyankee2151]

I would try to upgrade at third base, left field and add some more pitching.

[@JB-zo7ln]

Trade for Soto....that left handed bat behind Judge would be nice. Way better than Stanton could ever be. But at the same time i would like to get another good pitcher. We need a nice rotation. Our bullpen is fine. Cole, Rodon, Yomomoto....nice top 3 rotation.

[@erikalesi7603]

[@JutiMayranen]

My dream off-season haul would be Bellinger, Yamamoto, Snell. Soto is a 50-50 deal for me. He is going to cost a lot of money and there will be others who are going after him. If Ohtani never pitches again he could be nice lefty DH if Yankees manage to get rid of Giancarlo Stanton. No extension to Severino and possibly try to get rid of Stanton in the off-season. My opening day roster for Yankees in 2024: C: Trevino 1B: Rizzo 2B Torres 3B LeMahieu SS: Volpe LF: Soto (if no Soto -> Cabrera) CF: Bellinger (if no Bellinger -> IKF) RF: Judge DH: Stanton /Ohtani (if the great miracle happens) Bench: Peraza Cabrera Wells IKF Opening Day Pitcher: Cole Dominguez is possibly still on the IL when opening day comes so no Martian for you

[@lazzyfare4721]

Not a Yankees fan but this is a great video. Totally agree with Cody Bellinger who is a superb athlete who gives any team incredible flexibility. One of the main reasons the "Unicorn" signed on with the Angels and a West Coast team at all is the large Japanese population and accessibility for fans visiting from Japan.

[@Angelo_Productions]

Yankees should also consider getting Hader. They could really use a legitimate closer no matter the cost

[@brettrtrophyhunter]

*Yamamoto would be awesome. Ohtani probably won't be interested in New York.. maybe the Dodgers. Cody Bellinger needs to come here with Yamamoto, and if they wanna get a 5th starter added, Maybe go for getting Monty back. Contact hitters will help. Jason Dominguez should be back by June also.

[@jackkerfoot8693]

Absolutely agree with Lee.

[@davidclark6694]

Bellinger and Yamamoto make the most sense. Lee would be a consolation prize. Bellinger can play Center while Dominguez is out, then slide over to left field or first base when rizzo is gone. Soto makes sense in free agency, not via trade. Ohtani would be perfect, but i don't think he wants to be a Yankee. Plus, they won't be able to move Stanton. Lee would mean they have to trade Florial and or Everson. Im okay with that as Lee is an impressive contact hitter. The problem is Hal Steinbrenner does not believe in increasing payroll. He won't increase it because he won't admit he already made bad purchases, ie stanton. I think you can convert King to replace Severino and try to sign Yamamoto, Bellinger, and Lee. Ohtani isn't coming and im concerned with his 2 TJ surgeries already, Snell is an illusion of greatness, and Soto doesn’t make sense via trade.

[@billprezioso3677]

Would be nice to get Monty back but his problem was always no run support

[@clarkgimenez9576]

Peraza is the better defensive shortstop who lost his opportunity with lousy spring training at bats. Volpe could turn into an all star 2nd baseman and let Gleyber be the full time DH. That means we’d have to find a 3rd baseman or bring up another kid Sweeney? To platoon with DJ who will get lots of playing time between 3rd and first. All in on Yamamoto and Lee and Jordan. Forget the others.

[@Blake-xt6xh]

we need pitching the most. and definitely some contact hitters particularly lefties

[@steve0hhh]

Yamamoto, Soto and Lee. Soto will not require "the whole farm system."

[@jr6361]

But would Monty want to come back? His biggest success has been AWAY from the Yankees. Which says a lot about Blake. Agree love Soto, a player like him available does not come around every day but they would need to commit to signing him.

The Yankees have to get Rizzo and Stanton off their books. Mainly Stanton...even if you have to throw in a prospect. I see the Yankees signing two Japanese players. The top priority is Yamamoto. Get him a friend and shore up that bullpen by signing Fujinami. Forget Ohtani. No chance he will leave the West Coast. The FA list is pretty pathetic so they are going to have to be creative. If Stanton can be dealt and Bellinger becomes an FA, he might be a good signing. They need someone to get on base in front of Judge so the Yankees should inquire about Luis Arraez. Easier said than done, but they need better hitters because the pitchers can't keep carrying them all season.

Cody would be worth a shot.

[@jamesholmes3045]

I think Belli would be a great fit. Both judge cole and Cody share a hatred for the astros. I dont know if people remember but Bellinger was one of the players who said to the media altuve stole the mvp from judge. It seems to me judge and cody would get along amazingly. I think Cody would love to play for the yanks also because of his dad. In an ideal world i would prefer the contract be in the range of 3-5 but i think a 5-6 year deal with an opt out for bellinger after 2 seasons.m could be a good deal for both sides. Bellinger is still young and could retest free agency if he proves to be an mvp candidate again. I think our rotation is fine. I’d prefer to not sign another huge deal, but with the yanks history of pitching I think we get a reliver to replace michael king’s absence in the bullpen now that he is in the rotation. Rotation would be Cole Rodon King cortes and clarke if we changed nothing with brito as a long reliever and spot starts.

[@jamesholmes3045]

Something I also thought about briefly was bringing Severino back on a 1 yr as a long reliever (back up starter in case of injury for someone like rodon). I think starting is too much of a workload on his body and i wonder if converting to a reliever is a possibility. He is too unreliable. This idea was strictly just a thought but I’m not so sure on if this could even be a good idea

Same goes to Ohtani. Snell's 2023 is just an abnormal year(just look at Rodon, one or two good years does not mean the performance will continue).

Yankees are stuck with the Stanton and Rodon contracts. Cashman has been a disaster.

nolan arenado is a honorable mention also not sure i want belly he’ll come to the yankees strike out 150 times and bat 210 so idk the yankees don’t have the best luck with signings

[@sergiorivera2007]

Just bring up the Baby bombers , we have bad luck with Free agents, trade Rondo and Stanton, need to keep Torres he was our MVP for the year, played almost every game throughout the season, and Boone needs to go !

[@bubbaandbella]

Yamamoto and Soto. That’s it. I would trade Jones, Pereira, you know what anyone except Arias, Luis Serna, Thorpe, and Mayea. If you acquire Soto you’re thinking you can sign him. So outfield for the next 6 years or so is set. Soto, Dominguez, Judge. Wow. Hopefully Wells works out at catcher. They should know about Volpe by the time Arias is ready. All the Gleyber hating needs to stop. Extension. We are stuck with Stanton unless we give the Dodgers Fitts and Sweeney to take that contract. Whatever it is, It will hurt Third well is that Peraza or someone else? First not sure either, DJ/Rizzo, and then a prospect or low cost defensive guy. To go all in with the Soto trade means that The Yankees are willing to spend Mets money. Not sure that will happen. If I had to bet I would say there two big moves will be Yamamoto and trading Stanton, which we will have to give up prospect capital like we are acquiring a decent player. Expect no one of any consideration back.

Sensible Suggestions 👍🤔😁

Please do not unload the farm for Soto. Spencer Jones looks really good at AAA.
