Yanks deal for old, injury-prone guy..... and a falafel.
Happily, we got rid of Gary. Now we have only the other guy to catch.
Josh Donaldson was good 8 years ago before he was regularly injured. I think it is his shoulder, so when it barks he can neither throw nor field. He is an old 36. Any questions? Probably his resume says he was a former all star.
And we dumped Urshela as well. Who needs a great glove?
So we have opened up third for Donaldson, first for DJ and still have dick for SS. Unless falafel plays there.
This is becoming the oldest and worst team in baseball.
Donaldson won't last two weeks if he plays every day.
I wish Gary well. And Gio.

What really depresses me is that for the last decade Cashman has been patching holes in a sinking ship.
THESE ARE THE FUCKING NEW YORK YANKEES FOR FUCKS SAKE! WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS RUBBISH THEY KEEP FEEDING US EVERY YEAR!!!!
Is this what we have to look forward to: a perpetual wild card team (and a losing one at that) every year?
We haven’t been to the World Series in…
Nothing will change until Hal sells the team and Cashman and Boone are sent packing.
Yeah, I don't think Prince Hal wants to win. That's the only possible explanation.
Getting rid of STUD-TO-DUD Sanchez is simply ADDITION BY Subtraction.
Glad to see Sanchez go. Except...now we need a catcher. Is Higgy really going to be our starter in 2022?
Supposedly, Cashman COULD have traded Sanchez for Realmuto, even-up, in 2018.
Certainly, Cashman could have signed Realmuto as a free agent after 2018, and still dealt Sanchez for something useful.
Instead, this organization watched as Sanchez's once formidable skills melted down, then got next-to-nothing for him. Great.
Wtf was this deal
spot on. its clear now hal has no interest in winning; the 09 500 million splurge on burnett, tex, and cc was one final ode to the ailing boss so they could send him to the afterlife with a smile on his face. this team is truly pathetic. how else could anyone explain having an exactly identical payroll # last year to the one they had in 2005 ? no one is saying money-spending = championships, but for all the talk about "ninja cashman" and his "genius" moves, it IS hilarious that the one true move he made that won the yanks there one (1) and only championship since 2000 was backing up a brinks truck onto the lawns of burnett, tex, and cc and dumping $500 million onto them. stealthy ? hardly. brilliant ? i guess. but he hasnt done a whole helluva lot since, thats for sure. it would bebad enough if the only barrier to the yankees competing for a world series was boone ( who is truly awful in his own right ), but to supplement his terrible in-game decisions with a gm like cashman whose lone qualification for the job seems to be that slobber hal's testicles as well as boone can slobber his, makes matters even more unbearable. pile on top of this house of turds an owner such as hal, the owner OF A TEAM THAT PRINTS MONEY when it comes to marketing and merchandising yet is unwilling to part with it, and you have a mount everest of incompetence. the yankees will never scale the heights of these three's stupidity and avarice; they won't even come close. hal, at least, used to close each failed season with his "rah, rah, the yankees are committed to fielding a championship caliber team each and every year and we'll get them next year" blather but there's no reason to anymore. the last 2 years as the yankees have gotten bounced he hasn't even bothered, and why should he ? enough yankees fans continue to buy tickets and watch games that he doesnt even have to keep up the charade while laughing all the way to the bank. he knows, for instance, that desperate fans eager for any sliver of movement will most likely be sated by anything, even a farce of a trade for an over-the-hill 3b whose best years are probably 5 years past. truly pathetic.
Bravo Max Force. You had a lot to say and it all makes sense.
This is one of many reasons Cashman needs to go.
Maybe ca$human can pick up Barry bonds too. Along with Pujols. And any other juicer available.
Fucking pathetic
Apparently, Donaldson re-injured his calf getting out of his truck in the parking lot this morning.
Boonie said, "We don't think that it is anything serious, but we will rest him and monitor it for a few days to get ahead of it."
Drumrolll to this Friday, "Donnie's injury is troublesome, so he will just have surgery now so the we can get ahead of this. Our staff doctors believe that he will be back by July 1st."
Fast foward to July 1st., "This injury is trickier that we thought and after all he uses that leg for everything, so we are expecting him back in September for the WC race."
August 30th, "Joshie is working hard to get back and we will see. We may not have him until 2023."
Shades of Troy Tulo
Yes Tulo. My thought exactly. Also the Red sock guy with the bad back whose name escapes me.
Doug-- Yukolis (SP?)
Archie,
Yes. Thank you.
The word "blockbuster" is really getting used to freely by the media these days.
It’s our fault. We obviously yearn for the Yankees of old… but Hal misheard us and keeps giving us old Yankees.
Hopefully they can sign Pujols and trade for Cabrera and they can have the best 2013 team
Nah, this isn’t a terrible trade. Josh’s numbers outside of target field are way higher, he’s just flat out better hitter than Gio and he’s not really replacing Gio, Ikr is. You’re all forgetting that Gio playing ss left no one except maybe Djl at third.
Donaldson can still hit, if not the best fielder still league average. Ikr is a better defender and the Yankees haven’t traded any prospects yet. For once, one brief moment, I’m having hope that this is a set up for at least one more move.
I am so disturbed by the state of the world.
Dead on, max force.
And hilarious, Archie!
We have two catchers who will split the job. One hits .181 and the other .167. But one is lefty and one is righty. So, you know, the platoon works.
Both are decent defensively. That's about it.
As for first base, Luke has lost some weight and DJ still has that glove. Rizzo is available.
And so am I.
