No more George to get out there swinging the checkbook. I think the FO is looking rationally at the past. Most of their major signings just haven’t performed at anywhere near a level that they were priced at, and the Yankees seem less willing to go all in for one championship. As a fan, I’d be more jazzed up with younger players. A thirty-something signing–not all that much.

I don’t really see how Davis makes sense, but I’m sure this was the case before Bird emerged since it happened earlier in the year. I also don’t really see the fit with Ozuna, but acquiring young talent that could break out is never bad. Still wondering how the Yankees are going to find this young cost-controlled starter that they’ve been looking for. I also doubt it will be Jose Fernandez 😛

What’s the point of moving eovaldi. He’s young and pitched fine last year and a lot better in the middle till he got hurt.

George gave us the dig days of 82-94 then stick build those core 5 teams. Hal and Cashman doing the same now. Not signing over priced free agents is a good think. George to emotional I loved his enthusiasm but he knew nothing about baseball just reacted

Stick did it while George paid for by far the highest payroll in baseball. Hal is spending far less in comparison.

Baloney Stick build the farm system best Yankee years were a result of Georges suspension.

You are right my friend

sure, all credit to stick michael for building the system, but don’t kid yourself: george signed off on the highest payroll in baseball through the dynasty years, too.

Davis on the Blue Jays would just be nuts. Four 40 home run hitters.

Stick’s influence still carries a lot of weight in the organization. It’s good Cash is thinking along the same lines as Michael did in the early 90s when the Core guys were coming up. I’d rather see this crop get a shot rather than trading them away. With the money coming off in the next couple seasons, the team can add as it sees fit without spending a ton. As a fan, I’m used to the “title or bust” mantra, but realize that the organization is going to take some lumps to get there. Getting through these bad contracts over the next couple seasons will hopefully lead to the same type of team Stick built: mostly homegrown with smart (O’Neill, Key, Martinez, Cone, Nelson, Stanton, Raines, etc.) additions.

I would think Betances would bring back more than Miller. Plus, Sanchez should have rebuilt some value after last year and his performance in the AFL. With Kaprielian predicted to be challenging for a slot in the rotation as early as 2017 and with Strasburg being available next offseason, I just don’t see the Yankees truly chasing much until they shed some contracts. Their bullpen got them to the wild card last year and shouldn’t be messed with. With one signing (Strasburg next year) Kaprielian, Eovaldi, Tanaka, Severino and Pineda, they would have a very good rotation all under the age of 30 for 2017. The Yankees are staying pretty quite because in reality, they don’t need much (they obviously could use some replacements but large contracts already at those positions prevent it).

George’s Money did little he was a showman new little about the game. he hired and fired and angry ( about as angry a human I ever saw) drunk manager over and over. He got a few with Reggie ,Catfish etc. But it wasn’t till he was suspended that Sitck ( I sat at bar and drank with Stick, Pete Sheney, Steve Balboni in Oakland) a great man and great GM. Hal is having Ashman do the same. No more Caralpolooza tours and signings of the useless. There is no free agent pitcher so far signed this off season that will be throwing well by mid contract no less the end.
