If I'm Cashman I'd do this one...Spencer Jones while a gazelle in center at 6'7 with power struck out at a 40% clip last year in AA..There were concerns last year if he could hit at the major league level.

The Yankees number #1 priority is resigning Soto but it won't be long before he's a first baseman. He wasn't that good in right last year. That contract he's going to sign might a long term nightmare. He's not exactly a team first guy either.

I’m surprised San Francisco is not trying to sign Soto. The Giants have such an amazing, huge, loyal fan base and absolutely no superstar. A nice power hitting lefty to pull the ball into the water. I’m just surprised they weren’t on Soto the way they were with Judge.

Maybe they got fed up with Judge and Ohtani using them as bargaining chips.

Not that it necessarily means anything, but I read today where the Jays are one of 5 teams to have tendered Soto a contract.

Yes, but now there will be a 25% tarriff on the Jays offer.

Of course you would do that proposal if you are the Yankees or a Yankees fan, It was a beyond idiotic trade offer. Not a single top 100 prospect. Not one established major leaguer. The Jays got a fair bit more for Yusei Kikuchi alone, than this package.

I’m curious to know what Guerrero will sign for after Soto’s signed contract. Vlady would sign in my opinion for at least 2/3rds of Soto’s contract value imo. The Jays really screwed this thing up. They should have extended Guerrero sooner.

The Jays aren't trading Bo or Vlad this winter even if they are unsigned. The strategy was obvious based on what they did this past year at the deadline. They will take a stab at it again , hope things go right and they can hit 85-90 win team upside.

Of course the hope of a good team with money and development is to have 90-100 win upside with 85 win absolute downside. The Jays are 10 down on both numbers.


At the deadline if they are out they will be dealt.
