El Duque's list was very comprehensive. If half of them work out the team will be in good shape. Here are three more...
1) A Tighter Ship
With the removal of Gleyber and however they decide who plays second or third and, with the addition of a Gold Glove level first baseman who can still bend at the waist, the defense starts to take pride in... playing defense.
No more slapping the glove at balls, No more just missing the DP by 1/2 a step. No more missing the cutoff. That kind of stuff.
2) Play Angry
The Yankees were exposed as a team that is "not very good at baseball". That should piss them off. They should use that insult as fuel and play with more focus and intensity. They need to become "Warriors in the box." again.
3) Hire Someone to Re-imagine the Stadium Experience.
Change the music. Change the vibe. Make it a fun place to be. Citi Field is worlds better than YS3.
YS3 is a soulless, themed Vegas casino. At times the game seems as important as the aerialists at the old Circus Circus. Something you look at while deciding where to lose your money next.

And, Happy New Year to all of you and yours and eat as many eggs as you can
while there are still eggs to eat.

@ Doug....# 2- With a true baseball-savvy front office, being exposed as a team that can't master the fundamentals of baseball would bring repercussions within the organization. But our current management is oblivious. They are only interested in keeping their super-lucrative positions and an owner who just cares about the bottom line on the year-ending P& L statement. So, forget about anger or anything else that would light a fire under the players.
#3...Doug, we have found your new position after my crypto billions allow me to buy the team.
Carl - I'll take it! Thanks.
Good additions. But to be clear...Can we still have unrelenting sex?
Publius - You can have it all.
From the previous post . . . Carl of the 'ford - I would like to be the Executive Vice President of all areas needing assistance at any given time providing that I want to be involved in the problem needing assisting at that particular moment . . . I am available to start immediately. Please DM me for my agent's contact information.
I am of the opinion that unless management is willing to give Peraza and Cabrera every opportunity to start the season at 3B, then they need to sign Bregman. We cannot go through a season of the ghost of LaMehieu at 3B or 2B while Chisolm plays the other. Even with all the penalties from the luxury tax, the team still won't get close to the 67% of revenue that the team to beat is paying out. Does Hal really need that 10th yacht?
I want to be in charge of who gets to sit in the EMPTY seats behind home plate. I'll call it the "huckleberry patch." With Duque planted in the center in the "Sterling Sofa" (disguised as a field of nipples).
That, and free beer that's not warm.
Which reminds me of a new riders' song.

All good points. #1 is on Brian "If I only had a brain," #2 is on Boone - or the Anti-Boone, and #3 is on Hal, who doesn't give a fuck.
With #3, they'll cry to the city for another new stadium, one that's more showier with more bells and whistles.
@ AA....It won't be immediate. The way things work in DC, there will be no legislation before the summer recess. Then, give it another 3 months before my investments exponentially skyrocket to the moon. After some negotiations and blackmail, ownership should change to my hands by the end of the year. So, be ready for early 2026!
"Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings" is a fine LP. Mono, 1956. Buddy Bregman, as good as he was, couldn't play third, unfortunately.
