Lots of rumors about getting Kyle Tucker from the Astros.
I'm seeing the pattern!!!!
2) Trade a solid to very good young starting pitcher from our major league staff (Last year King. This year Gil or Schmidt.) And three ranked minor leaguers. Two pitchers and a position player. Or two position players and a pitcher. Jones? Arias? The Martian?
No one will miss who we trade because we have a "generational superstar" who we MIGHT sign long term.
3) Bat in front of Judge.
4) Deep playoff run.
5) Come in second in FA bidding war for player.
6) Replace traded starter with a top free agent pitcher using SOME of the money not spent on superstar.
7) Re-sign the pitcher you traded in two to three years. (King)
Repeat.
Eventually the Yankees run out of minor league talent or "generational superstars in walk years" to sign but, until then or until people catch on... it just might work.

ReplyDeletePretty much.
ReplyDeleteI’d say we’ve already run out of MiLB talent…
ReplyDeleteShhhh. Don't say that. That would ruin everything.
DeleteVery true, Doug. And Parson Tom: that's ONE-DIMENSIONAL checkers. Or maybe tic-tac-toe.
ReplyDeleteBut as Nancy would say "Tic-Tac-Toe ...a winner" 👀
