Hader has been dominant and is under team control for a while, but I'm a little uncomfortable trading so much talent for a RP, even if a lot of it is ill-fitting for the current team. That seems like the kind of deal that Cashman is better at doing in reverse. It may not apply to Hader, but it seems like there is too much variability in RP performance over time.
The bullpen is still very strong and I trust Cashman to find another guy or two, whether from the farm or elsewhere.
But I understand he has to move some guys off of the 40.
I think I'd rather see an upgrade at 1B (sorry, big man) or maybe some more OF depth.
Voit. I like him quite a bit, but I'm not sure how good he really is. The SSS in 2018 was awesome, but 2019 seem closer to his true talent level, even with the sports hernia. Offense is still solid. May even be great. His defense isn't. But he isn't too expensive, and that is nice.
OF depth. I love what Tauchman can bring to the table and don't want him going anywhere. Even if some of the offense was a flash in the pan (hopefully not), the positional flexibility and defense is great. I look forward to seeing how he performs this year.
I worry about Gardner being old.
I worry about Hicks being injury prone even after he recovers from TJ by mid-season.
Judge has played 112 and 102 games over the last two seasons.
Stanton missed most of last season, and while I think his defense may be underrated, Yankee Stadium LF is huge and I think he could help the team best (and stay in the lineup) at DH.
I'd like to see the Yankees get a quality OF who can (at least) play a good LF and maybe spot start at CF. Someone like Frazier who could play defense would be nice. Someone good enough to bump Gardner down to 4th OF, with Tauchman full time at CF maybe. Hicks could take his time making a full recovery.
So disappointing for Frazier to have such a golden opportunity to contribute this past season and not see him fully capitalize. Maybe he can overcome his defensive problems and still be that guy.
