1. Cooperstown Cashman is still alive - ALIVE! out there, somewhere - sifting through the scrap yards for spare widgets.
2. Food Stamps Hal Steinbrenner still loves a thrift shop bargain. That underwear looks a bit gnarly but - hey, 99 cents! - who cares?
3. It's always pitching, pitching, pitching.
4. Maybe - just maybe - those rumored deals for Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal won't happen.
5. When you get the choice to sit it out or dance... I hope you'll dance.
So, Yarbrough? Hard to process. First time I've said the name in three months. Nothing against him. Last year, on June 1, he almost looked like The Answer: Six innings, one run, against the Dodgers. Then something tweaked. Not the same in September. So... he's back? As Billie Joe would say, Wake me up when September ends...
At some point, soon, Cash will need to spend. Today, we'll learn a lot about how he plans to do it. If Trent Grisham chooses to stay, the ensuing OF logjam will prompt the trade of The Martian and/or Spencer Jones. If Grisham leaves, well, we're stuck with The Martian and/or Spencer Jones. Chose your underwear.
The Yarb could be a decent 6th starter. That's not nothing. You never have too much pitching. We don't know who'll show up in Tampa with elbow pain, but somebody always does. Last year's final four were built by big money (Dodgers), young arms (Mariners), overachievers (Brewers) and unadulterated Yankee hatred (Jays.) The Redsocks and Orioles, if they do nothing this winter, could still be vastly improved.
Soon, the Yankees must do something huge.
Today, all we know is that Cashman is alive, and that Hal is counting the beans. Tomorrow? Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance... o, fuck it, go to the bar and do a shot.

Boxers or tighty whiteys?
Golden thong.
Well, that fixes our pitching shortage. Now all we need is an over the hill former star who takes playing time away from our young guys.
It's the Yankee Way.
The one pitching rumor I’ve liked so hard is Michael King. Bring him back for the rotation and keep Yarborough as a 6th starter Mendoza type role
Outfielder Trent Grisham is accepting his $22.025MM qualifying offer and will return to the Yankees in 2026, reports ESPN’s Jorge Castillo. Players who accept a QO are considered free agent signings and are thus ineligible to be traded prior to the following June 15 unless they consent to the move.
I’m sad.
