Let's speak it out loud: The Yankees are dreadful, and Cashman will soon trade their future for more crapola

 

The biggest fallacy of 2024, thus far:

Thinking the Yankees have hit rock bottom. 

Whenever they seem totally dead - as they now do - you think they'll turn the boat around and win a few. But they don't.

You think DJ LeMahieu, Alex Verdugo, Anthony Volpe, et al, will start hitting. But they don't. 

You think somebody in that horrendous bullpen, constructed almost entirely of used body parts and scrapheap signings, will start pitching lights out. But they don't. 

Instead, we await a looming trade frenzy, with the Yankees leaning toward trading their best prospects - a move Brian Cashman once swore he'd never do in the modern era - merely to stay afloat in this rapidly devolving wild card race.

The most likely prospect to go: Spencer Jones, 23, a 6’6” lefty CF who has twice represented the Yankees in the Futures Game. 

For two years now, Jones has made the top 100 list of MLB prospects, and now the Yankees will be dangling him for somebody, anybody, who might staunch the bleeding from one of the several gaping wounds on this team. 

By the end of the weekend, the Yankees could be tied for third in the AL East, having squandered one of their best opening months in history.

This is malpractice, malfeasance and madness. This is institutional rot. Does anyone think trading our best prospects is a good move? 

Frankly, right now, I'm too angry to write. But I'll tell who is our main prospect. This guy, who just came, courtesy of the Mets.
