Imagine a fancy wedding for which a three tier wedding cake was ordered from the best bakery in town.
It has elaborate designs in the frosting, candy flowers on the edges, and appropriate replicas of a bride and groom ruling from the top tier.
Imagine, then, that the staff allows the cake to slip off the tray as they approach the cutting table.
The staff does its best to recover salvageable parts of the cake, return them to the tray, refashions the frosting design by smearing it around, pick up the few candy flowers which are still in tact, and clean the frosting off the bride and groom and stick them back in the middle.
No one will ever mistake this cake for what it was.
This is what the Yankees are doing. The Soto cake fell off the trey and the patchwork has commenced.
What results will look exactly like what it is...., a desperate, alternative version of something that once was. The remnant will be edible, and may even have a respectable look to it.
But it isn't ever going to be close to what the bride and groom were hoping for.
What we were all hoping for.

Even broken cake has its uses. But I'll bet they picked that cake up, slapped hunks of it onto plates to serve and the caterer thought - "Well, at least I'm contending..." Still, nobody will ever think it's not a pile of crap.
I'll have the pie, waiter!
Cashman is in panic mode. He got rid of 3 lefty hitters. Added a right handed hitter he's coveted for years, but has been mediocre to terrible for most of the past 5 years. He bought another lefty pitcher. Now he has 7 starting pitchers. No leftfielder, 1st baseman or 3rd baseman. He has 10 million left from his inheritance from Hal and nothing in the minors to trade with. Except the Martian and Spencer Someday.
What's the little trust funder to do?
