I was talking about this with some friends the other day; is there a player with a legacy further disconnected from their actual production than Alex Rodriguez? Nobody likes A-Rod, for a bunch of obvious reasons. He's the punchline to a bunch of jokes, not only from Sox fans but from Yankee fans as well. He was never beloved in New York, which left him without a real home fanbase to stick up for him when everyone else shit on him. And again, rightfully so, A-Rod was/is a jerk that deserves...

Pitchers and catchers isn't for another week, but I think NY's 40 man is pretty set for now after the Ferguson move this week. The first big thing to watch after the 14th is that is the date that you can clear 40 man spots by putting guys onto the 60 day IL game, then they miss the first 60 days of the regular season at least. I don't think NY has any definite candidates here, so it will be very interesting to see the next time they need a 40 man spot, if they DFA someone or put Dominguez...

Gonna kick off a new thread with the new Fangraphs NY prospect list posted today, a fascinating list I need to dig into more. Fangraphs hasn't been updating prospect lists much recently, I believe this is the first new one in a year. Generally anyone rated as a 50 or above is in their top 100 (give or take) but since this is only the 2nd of 30 lists so far, it's hard to tell exactly. But NY's previous list only had one 50 (maybe they took off guys who graduated though?), this one has six... NY minor league prospect news (2024 edition ..read more

I think Cashman will still probably add here but I wanted to get a sense of where they stood, with some comings and goings already this winter.

I'm starting this for two reasons: 1) There has been lots of smoke this week connecting NY and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but of course there will probably be 15-20 other teams going after him hard also. The interesting thing here to me is that NY hasn't ruled out a third giant SP contract for the right player, despite Cole and Rodon making $63M combined AAV through 2028. 2) NY has a bunch of very promising internal SP candidates for next year, none of whom are yet on the 40 man or will need to...
