Likewise. He's an important piece of the team. He needs to stay. Fun to joke but if he's gone I'm pissed.
I was thrilled when they got McGuire for Deikman last year. Maybe Bloom can extract something decent for Bleier.
Before the season, I thought it would be worthwhile considering because I was leery of his ability to play RF in Fenway. But he's proven those fears unfounded.
At some stage though, having three LHH primary outfielders might not be the most optimal alignment
I don't think it would matter as much if their cornerstone first baseman and third baseman weren't also both LHH.
This might sound crazy, but I'd be willing to trade him for the right return. We took the big gamble his skills would transfer to MLB. They did, and now he's potentially a bigger asset than he was before he signed with us.
I wouldn't do that anyhow, but especially not when his former teammates is coming to MLB next year
He doesn't seem as bad on defense as reported. Maybe he's not winning any gold gloves, but he hasn't been a detriment out there, has he?
I wouldn't even consider it. This contract is going to be a huge bargain. I'll be shocked if he doesn't win at least one batting title.
I wonder how he feels about that, and if there were discussions about that when he was signed.
Masa's former teammate is Yamamoto, the stud pitcher who is coming to MLB next season
Maybe so, but his D is shit, and Raffy needs to be the DH at some point. Not advocating for it, but it is a roster management situation in the making.
I guess another reason why the team would probably love for Rafaela to be able to take over for Verdugo at some point
Ah. The pluralization of "teammate" had me think you were fucking with me. I'm kinda disappointed.
Would love to see Duran and Rafaela flying around CF and RF in Boston
I guess I don't think Masa's D is that bad, and I think that Raffy is a long way from being the full time DH.

The Yankees lineup has 30 strikeouts over their last 2 games, their most in a 2-game span in franchise history.

Maybe, maybe not. Raffy's not that good at 3rd, and Casas would appear to be logjamming 1B (or DH). BTW, if I had to wager on who has better offensive numbers over the next 5 years between Tristan and Raffy, I'd be going with Tristan.
It's an interesting glut of LHH DH-types.
It’s him. And it didn’t help him either. I
’m not standing that close. I’m actually a little farther away.
