Thirteen Things We Are Sure to Hear This Off-Season

 


1. The new rules against the shift will add 30 points to the average of every Yankee.

2. Now that he's had a year to adjust to New York, you'll see the real Josh Donaldson.


3. The 2023 Yankees will have Tots Bader for a full season.

4. Scott Effross is ahead of schedule in his Tommy John recovery, and could make a contribution to this team before the end of the 2023 season.


5. Now that he's had a year to build up arm strength, Zack(h) Britton could contribute to this team again.


6. Aaron Hicks is making tremendous progress in rehab.

7. Jasson Dominguez will be in the Bronx within the next two years.


8. Spencer Jones will be in the Bronx within the next two years.


9. Now that he's had a year to adjust to playing shortstop, expect IKF to be even wonderfuler.

10. There's really no need to have more left-handed bats the way Yankee Stadium is configured.

11. Giancarlo Stanton has been putting in the time in the weight room, and his core is more solid than ever.

12. Aroldis Chapman has learned his lesson from last year, and developed an unhittable new pitch.

13. With all the tremendous talent in their farm system, there was really no reason for the Yankees to venture into the free-agent market.

14. Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza will start the season in the minors.

15. Benintendi will sign with Yanks for 100 million (5 years/20 mill per year).

16. Carpenter will return for 50 million (5 years/10 mill per year).

17. Hicks has fully recovered from surgery and will play all three outfield positions, projecting to get about 300 at bats.

18. Florial will play great during spring training but will not make the team. He'll start the season in the minors.

Don’t forget all the talking heads blaming the fans for making players not want to come here

Wish this list was a joke but a few on here are too close to reality for me to laugh.

"We made our best offer, sound offer, generous offer. Very competitive offer, consistent with where we are and are going as a team, as a franchise. We couldn't get thete. It's never easy to see a player whose grown up with you, who you've nurtured, go. We love Aaron. We wish him the best."

Here's the latest bullshit from the commissioner. You know him: the guy in the cheap suit.

"I am a firm believer that we should make our great game even better by listening to our fans. Our goal has been to evaluate the ways in which we could nudge the game in the direction that our fans consistently tell us they prefer.

Through thorough research, common themes emerge. Fans want to see more balls in play, athleticism, defense and base running."

He actually said this.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Winnie can probably come up with more terms for vomitus, and they would be more accurate than the shit they'll try to feed us.

horse shit.
a chain of horse shit as far as the eye can see.
amazing that you could have the arrogance to take a beloved game, a game that was perfect in many ways, and fuck with it.
it would be like re-mixing "Exile on Main Street" or something along those lines.
horse shit.

they want to lose a generation of fans? keep going in this direction.

they have already lost me.

horse shit.

Horace, you seem to be up-to-date on The Yankee BS. Will Cheapskate Hal be telling us that The Yankees will have a CHAMPIONSJIP CALIBER team? Hopefully he will also tell us that the Yankees are not totally analytical.
