I genuinely miss hearing from Meredith, one of the few voices of reason & sense

[@cmm30]

She reads what she is written. Come on man. It's all scripted. Jesus Christ. This is so much deeper produced than you understand.

When he proves himself in the Yankee pinstripes, I'll get excited. Many have tried few succeed. We'll see. I don't get excited over these big name deals anymore until they show they can handle the pinstripes and the Bronx.

[@juanlopez1973]

It’s all about team chemistry!!!!

[@JimONeil]

Cashman disagrees. He's essentially always been against team chemistry. Signing Giambi over Tino, trading Wells for Clemens, screwing over Bernie at the end of his career... we could go on for a long time.

[@jewelinvegas580]

No need to worry about Giancarlo Stanton. He won't play more than 40 games due to muscle injuries.

[@Sheha-fc6ht]

Exactly.

[@davidroberts8462]

I'm glad that we got Soto, but not happy Micheal King was a part of this deal. He was certainly coming last year!

[@MyBirdman88]

Ayo

[@BAS811]

You're always gonna have to give up some pieces you wouldn't want too. I think what we traded for him isn't that bad. King and Brito are the big ones

[@arkhamknight6371]

[@Nick-NY]

Yankees were desperate and overpaid for a 1 year rental.

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Lmao

[@hatkins02]

This is the most excited besides Judge re-signing & Cole signing I've been in a lonnnngggg time as a Yankee fan. He's going to look so good in pinstripes.

[@josephtorres1406]

I want to see Judgey start the 2024 season off with a bang and hit the ground running again, after last season's collapse in L.A. I expect Judgey to be in even better shape this year to start the season = Good rest heals all

[@JJJJ-lz1vv]

Next I want Yamamoto…..get me Yamamoto…NOW!

[@nicholasbusch113]

Dominguez will be in center field by august

[@KryMoore]

No he won’t. He won’t play outfield at all next year.

[@enriquediaz474]

Not a Chance oh wait injuries.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Juan Soto could provide leverage to this Yankees offense that is injury-prone and can carry out an offense for himself.

[@MR-tu9dj]

There’s still a lot of flaws in this teams roster. The manager is an absolute idiot. The front office is a dysfunctional joke. If Soto gets injured or underperforms due to the pressure of playing in ny. That’s a big possibility.

[@bryanbruner5327]

Bad deal. Yankees just making bad decision after bad decision. They have to make playoffs to have any chance keeping him past next year.

[@Nick-NY]

Their mistakes keep snowballing out of control.

[@bryanbruner5327]

@@Nick-NY I am a Rangers fan and it’s just reminding me of our 90s teams. All offense, little pitching and couldn’t win anything.

so the yankees are really going to try n win every game 12-0 because we have like no pitching now?!!!!!

[@velocityhawk224]

More like 12-11 but yeah lol

[@wonderemporium6094]

We literally lost one MLB ready starter. If you think Mike King was the answer you’re on shrooms. We have the AL Cy young winner….

[@JPNYC4]

How do we have no pitching? We lost 1 major league pitcher, who started last year for 1 month. Our rotation is set, and we are the front runners for Yamamoto. Some people say things with no logic.

[@cityhawk]

@@JPNYC4Losing King might sting a little, but losing Brito and Severino isn't going to be felt. Both of them never lived up to their potential. If Yamamoto helps alleviate the sting of losing King, fine by me.

[@julianlennon5312]

If the yanks still wont make the playoffs despite a healthy line up.. Boone will be fired!

[@TomboKaiOfficial]

ALCS or bust.

[@scottlazar6175]

Next Yamamoto …..ASAP!!!!

[@garys4931]

Judge in Center makes me nervous given the demand of the position and his history of injuries. I look for Stanton to have a big bounce back season. With attention taken off of him, less pressure could bring his bat to life. Looking for 35 homers 85+ rbi's if he stays healthy.

[@cityhawk]

Look at what happened to them after Judge got injured in Los Angeles. The Yankees went into a tailspin that they never recovered from. I agree, Judge has the athleticism for CF, but it is an incredibly demanding position, and he has missed significant time on a few occasions. Hopefully, the Yankees will figure out how to lighten Judge’s load in the OF. Maybe more games at DH. Who knows.

[@gljm]

Imagine the Yankee lineup come June : Soto, Judge, Stanton, Rizzo and Jason Dominguez.

[@JimONeil]

There is no way Dominguez is going to be back that early.

[@qkingoftears]

nobody scared of stanton and rizzo pl

[@brandondillman5841]

Stanton isn't good. He's dead weight

[@LeviLocke99]

@@qkingoftears ummm yes they are...rizzo has been very very very good in the past and just this year didnt play well do to a concussion! before the concussion rizzo was raking so i really have no idea what you are talking about. and yes stanton has not played very well and im afraid he might never be the same but he can still do damage if he finds his swing again.
