Pache and Langeliers are 50FV prospects on Fangraphs.What would a better Yankees offer (than Atlanta) look like beside Volpe?
NYY have Medina, Peraza, the Martian, and Vargas at 50FV and Volpe at 60 (!)
so two of that group to start.......

Come to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to NYYF.Damn it JA, every time you update this thread I think Cashman has closed a deal for a 1B or SP.
If Cashman keeps up this slow, methodical pace, I'm going to abandon my usual reserved, cautious perspective and go full crow.
Beyond that, if NY didn't have a chance on Freeman, LAD would have signed him by now.NO NEWS YET, EE.
Worth noting FWIW (probably not much) that Donaldson and Freeman played together in 2019.
What has me mildly hopeful about Freeman to NY still is that if NY thought they didn’t have a chance, they would have moved on to Rizzo already.
I don't think he really gave anyone else a shot, he spent a lot of time in NJ growing up and really wanted to come back if possible. The Cubs I think offered a lot more than this for him to come back, but he waited out NY's pursuits of Olson and Freeman because that was how badly he wanted to be back.Puzzled why the Sox didn’t seem interested in Rizzo.
Whether there is a handshake or not, I think Cashman had to know from the negotiations that the Yankees were out.Wonder if there's been a handshake on Freeman to the Dodgers and maybe its waiting something on the administrative side. Odd he is still lingering and would have never though Rizzo went first.
There will be plenty of ABs for everyone, as there always are. The role they initially signed him for was this, backing up 2B and 3B and 1B.You really think DJL is on the bench?
Until someone gets injured, sure. At least to start the season, like his first year with the Yankees. But he'll still get a lot of ABs and even more if he's hitting.You really think DJL is on the bench?
Also at some point is the contract difference between the two worth it? Curry said earlier tonight that Freeman turned down 5/140 from ATL, 2/32 looks nice compared to that even if FG projects Freeman as a 4.7 WAR player and Rizzo as a 2.6 one.Whether there is a handshake or not, I think Cashman had to know from the negotiations that the Yankees were out.
There's a chance but actually now they kind of need Gleyber's potential upside in the lineup.I still think there's a chance Torres gets traded in a package for a starter. At this point, though, I'm happy to roll the dice on Torres one more time and use the loaded system to pick up extra pieces. Not sure there's anymore FA that can help.
I agree. I'm good with it. I would feel even better about it if Rizzo was vaxxed. Maybe he will be. A reasonable two year contract is better than I hoped for him. Figured it would be three.Also at some point is the contract difference between the two worth it? Curry said earlier tonight that Freeman turned down 5/140 from ATL, 2/32 looks nice compared to that even if FG projects Freeman as a 4.7 WAR player and Rizzo as a 2.6 one.
Why sit DJL? Sit Torres.Until someone gets injured, sure. At least to start the season, like his first year with the Yankees. But he'll still get a lot of ABs and even more if he's hitting.
I agree completely.Also at some point is the contract difference between the two worth it? Curry said earlier tonight that Freeman turned down 5/140 from ATL, 2/32 looks nice compared to that even if FG projects Freeman as a 4.7 WAR player and Rizzo as a 2.6 one.
This should work itself out, also any time Stanton plays the OF, Donaldson can DH and that opens up 3B for DJ.Why sit DJL? Sit Torres.
Nah. DJ is a professional hitter and I think you can move him around and plug him into the lineup whenever. He'll get plenty of ABs. I thing Gleyber needs to play regularly to figure things out. If he doesn't, they can move him before the deadline.Why sit DJL? Sit Torres.
I'd love to see one of the prospects impress enough in spring training to win that job.Who is the backup SS behind IKF? I guess Cabrera.
Much more worried about TOR signing him than BOS.
Probably Cabrera so Peraza can play every day in AAA.I'd love to see one of the prospects impress enough in spring training to win that job.
