Something lit a fire under Cashman Maybe it was our own Dan Rourke 😂 It's about time the Yanks upgraded multiple weaknesses! I'm hoping and praying that the Yankee pitching can be dominant agin like the late 90's!
exactly right ..... now we have a dominant no.2 or potential ace in max fried if gerrit cole will pitch like kershaw & keep screwin' up ..... we now have a a dominant closer in devin williams & we can move luke weaver as a set up guy ..... a combo of weaver & williams is better than the combo clay holmes & luke weaver ..... goldsmith is an update over the injury prone rizzo ..... although,not a better hitter than juan soto,but cody bellinger is a better defender than him & judge can now go back to right field which suited him better .....
Got a decent rental for a year for Goldy who is a vet presence who can potentially rake in Yankee stadium, I wouldn’t go for a 2nd baseman tho. I think you move Jazz to 2nd and grab either Bregman or Arenado
I never understood the hate Trevy got. Frankly, I stopped watching a couple guys who went over the top with it. He always was willing to do what the team needed. He was a great teammate, and clearly loved being a Yankee. Had multiple big moments,and was one of the best overall defensive players, let alone catchers, in baseball. I wish nothing but good things for him in the future.
as much as its nice to have guys that love and appreciate being yankees, trevino hurt us so much last year, free stolen base practically whenever a team wanted, no matter how good he was at other defensive aspects of catching the noodle arm offset it all, not to mention he became a massive liability at the plate as well
These are great moves to start the season. Don't forget there's always a chance to make a deal for a latter-day David Justice around mid-season. Now they just have to stay healthy. There were rampaging last season until Stanton got hurt and then . . . a .500 team the rest of the way. Stanton comes back and he and Soto carry them to the World Series. Just. Stay. Healthy.
One year gap being filled by a perennial All-Star first baseman. Bat may not be what it was a few years back, but defense at first base wins games. As far as the bat goes, being surrounded by high-quality bats allows him to see better pitches. Quality veteran leadership brings value, too.
Great Deal for Goldy !!! If u kno baseball and u follow the yankees with brain cells this move is perfect to let Ben Rice get some ABs and experience. Ben Rice is a Stud in the making.
I won't gripe if Yankees got Arenado, but I would rather have an athletic contact hitter with fantastic defense like Hyeseong Kim. Kim won't be available for the first couple of month due to a surgery he had, but he has NO draft pick attached to him and should be relatively cheap anywhere under 10 mil a year. Kim would solve Yankees leadoff hitter once and for all. Also Yankees need to continue to find Stroman a new home and find another lefty for the bullpen!
If you know you know! I’m an old fart and have seen deals like this over the years. He knows he is up there in age but still has a great glove! New York being New York can become his best friend if he comes out hot! He knows he is in a contender now and man does that change a player! I think it’s a smart and reasonable move!
Goldschmidt will be a great addition for the one year when they can go after Kyle Tucker. Or Vlad Jr. Next year. Anyone can be a back up catcher so I like this trade! Blake will get him into shape!
Stop giving so much credit to blake . He isnt a miracle worker . He couldnt fix holmes or most of the bullpen this season , sevy and monty both did better after they left .
Holmes had a low 3s ERA. People need to stop pretending he completely fell off a cliff. Also, it was Blake who turned him from a bad starting pitcher to one of the best closers in baseball for a couple years.
Get rid of any idea of getting Tucker. Dude was a hell no this year. Wasn’t worth trading elite prospects for a guy on the down slide of his career. We should have gotten Walker. Bat will be good for 2-3 more years. Defense better than Goldy’s
I was calling this signing as a must for a long time, I like the player and KNEW he would be signing for 1 year, I thought $17M, so we got discount. Walker is not a needle mover and being trapped with his contract in his 30's would have hurt us for years. This was boot the decision for the longer term contract to next year when there are better FA's . BTW, we will get a 3B, not a 2B this year. Age of players, length of contract, Penalties to International Pool and draft picks made Bregman/Walker restrictive
Is there something about Berti I'm unaware of that makes him unappealing? Because I would think bringing him back for third base would be a smart move. Won't cost much, great base runner, fielder, makes good contact.
We still need a third baseman…. I don’t want a platoon job of Cabrera and Lemehieu..put jazz at second… trade for arenado..both of these guys are motivated after playing non competitive baseball in St. Louis… I think it makes a big difference playing contending baseball than being on a team that is not good..
I would lead off Jazz next 4 big guys then - Wells 6 Martian 7 Volpe 8 Waldo 2b/3b 9 depending on who it is of course McMahon or Arrenado above the kids of course
In my life this is the best off season the Yanks have ever had. Goldshmidt still gives you 20 homers 70 rbi and is a better fielder than Alonso. Williams huge improvement over Holmes. Bellinger is 20 hr 75 rbi plays center very well. And Fried gives them the best combo of starters in AL with Cole. Great moves.
Not exactly ecstatic that the Yankees couldn’t match the Naylor deal that occurred right after Goldy - but I’m happy w Goldy. Adore the Trevy trade - get a guy subscribing to the Matt Blake School of Pitching and see ya later. In my opinion - Bregman makes us a WORLD SERIES TEAM. and I don’t love the idea of us dumpster diving at 2/3B. I don’t know what else they can do, but I love what Bregman does for this team.
Cashman is rebuilding. He wants his young guys in their lineup long term. Outside of pitching, he wanted Volpe, Wells, Dominguez, Rice, Jones on this team & little by little he is.
I feel like this is the most overhyped offseason in Yankee history. I don't hate the offseason, but to me it just seems like other Yankee fans are overcompensating for Soto leaving for the Mets. I think there would be a lot more scrutiny if he went anywhere else other than to the Mets or Red Sox.
Only thing bad about him is his age. The man can still pick it. Doesn't strike out a lot. Obp is good. And i think a change will be good for him. Professional or not it is hard to play well for a team that has a front office and manager that doesn't care. The cards are going nowhere and their players know it. Thats why noland wants out too
Not really any downside to this signing. Just compare him to who he is replacing just as good in defence and more run production for 1 year no long contracts
Don't hate it but Carlos Santana wouldda made more sense lol switch hitter same if not better defense and same power especially in yankee stadium batting left handed most of the time idk y they chose goldy tbh. Higher upside I guess
Get Kim for second. No qualifying offer and he can lead off. I'd love to see jazz have a full season at 3rd. And trade stroman and rice for Andrew nardi from the marlins
STOP WITH THE HATE ING , GOLDY IS A LEGITIMATE GREAT MLB PLAYER , EXCELLENT SIGNING BY THE YANKS , YOUR IGNORANCE AND HATE IS NOT NEEDED , YOU CAN HATE NOW THEN CHEER WHEN HE GREATLY PERFORMS , IGNORANT CLOWNS 🤡
Yanks have to be careful trading all their young guys for older guys, they traded four young guys for Joey Gallo, that was terrible! They keep emptying out their minor leagues like that
This move is too cheap, too cute. They are punting on this season with a win now team. They are waiting for Vlad Jr. or Tucker next year. They aren't getting either of them. They will be looking for a 1st baseman next year again when Pete Alonso is available now.
Sorry but I disagree. It’s ridiculous Samo Yankees signing an old player for one year. What is he 37 years old? I’m sick of the Yankees always putting a Band-Aid on things
Sure he’s old but his barrel percentage is still one of the best and he hit over .300 in the last month of the season. He’ll thrive at yankee stadium hopefully
@ ok I sure hope so but I still don’t like trying to win it all with a one year deal guy, I’d rather build on what we have i hate winning that way. If you know what I mean. It’s not genuine it’s just getting somebody on a one-year contract trying to win the championship so to me it’s just momentarily
Something lit a fire under Cashman
Maybe it was our own Dan Rourke 😂
It's about time the Yanks upgraded multiple weaknesses!
I'm hoping and praying that the Yankee pitching can be dominant agin like the late 90's!
Or Hal finally loosened the purse strings ....
Real good take on trades and signing. Keeping it real.
Not signing soto was a blessing in disguise... I love all the additions....
No joke! That would have been 75 mill wasted and tons of needs not being met.
exactly right ..... now we have a dominant no.2 or potential ace in max fried if gerrit cole will pitch like kershaw & keep screwin' up ..... we now have a a dominant closer in devin williams & we can move luke weaver as a set up guy ..... a combo of weaver & williams is better than the combo clay holmes & luke weaver ..... goldsmith is an update over the injury prone rizzo ..... although,not a better hitter than juan soto,but cody bellinger is a better defender than him & judge can now go back to right field which suited him better .....
Totally right
A rod syndrome
Let's go Yankees 💪❤👍
I pray he does some goldshmidt type stuff this year. And kicks ass for us. As long as he gives us good defense im all for this.
Got a decent rental for a year for Goldy who is a vet presence who can potentially rake in Yankee stadium, I wouldn’t go for a 2nd baseman tho. I think you move Jazz to 2nd and grab either Bregman or Arenado
Bergman is a longer fix for the team. Arenado is just a band aid. Either way that would help the team.
Both are the same age and arenado is better imo .
@ defensively I would say yeah Arenado is better but with the bat he fell off last year so idk
The intro is perfect lmao 😂
Agreed 👍
Merry Christmas, Dan
Have a blessed 2025!!❤

Hi, I’m new here and I’m looking forward to getting all of your expertise on the Yankees
These are great moves to start the season. Don't forget there's always a chance to make a deal for a latter-day David Justice around mid-season. Now they just have to stay healthy. There were rampaging last season until Stanton got hurt and then . . . a .500 team the rest of the way. Stanton comes back and he and Soto carry them to the World Series. Just. Stay. Healthy.
I wouldnt call them great moves
@@fernandoposada5440Come on . Excellent off season. Filled 4 holes

Why not just give rizzo another year then
@TatTwo22 You notice how rizzo has zero interest from any MLB team? Let that simmer on your peanut brain
@@TatTwo22Have you watched rizzo the last few years? He suxks. And always hurt.
We should get Ha-seong kim cheap low risk option and jazz showed flashes at 3rd
Great Deal for Goldy !!! If u kno baseball and u follow the yankees with brain cells this move is perfect to let Ben Rice get some ABs and experience. Ben Rice is a Stud in the making.
Listen don't count out Goldschmidt. What if he goes 25 homers 90 rbi 270 avg. I was disappointed it wasn't two years
I won't gripe if Yankees got Arenado, but I would rather have an athletic contact hitter with fantastic defense like Hyeseong Kim. Kim won't be available for the first couple of month due to a surgery he had, but he has NO draft pick attached to him and should be relatively cheap anywhere under 10 mil a year.

Kim is a lefty, too.

Goldschmidt on a one yr contract is a no-brainer.
Vlad Jr said he would never play for the Yankees
Stop giving so much credit to blake . He isnt a miracle worker . He couldnt fix holmes or most of the bullpen this season , sevy and monty both did better after they left .

need.... more...
cohan seems to have pissed hal off

Rumors of Hill and Kahnle coming back.
God, I hope not.
Brendan Donovan at second base and leading off.That would be something.
21:29 Stroman trade allows them to sign Ha-Seong Kim. he’s my hopeful signing for a gold glove double play combo with Volpe.
Stroman was a bust at the end!!!
Is there something about Berti I'm unaware of that makes him unappealing? Because I would think bringing him back for third base would be a smart move. Won't cost much, great base runner, fielder, makes good contact.
He is not a very good hitter or fielder.he is a slightly above average pinch runner at best
Hope rice gets backup catch and helps at 1st a little
We still need a third baseman…. I don’t want a platoon job of Cabrera and Lemehieu..put jazz at second… trade for arenado..both of these guys are motivated after playing non competitive baseball in St. Louis… I think it makes a big difference playing contending baseball than being on a team that is not good..
Arena Arenado is not coming were not on his list
Looking for a word. Found smartly.....wow! Lol
I would lead off Jazz next 4 big guys then - Wells 6 Martian 7 Volpe 8 Waldo 2b/3b 9 depending on who it is of course McMahon or Arrenado above the kids of course
Give me Goldschmidt's numbers from last year, that = a massive bump up from what the Yankees have gotten at 1B for the last 2 seasons.
Point 2:
Ben Rice for BUC AND backup 1B. He will get 200+ AB's at least.
Donovan or someone else more contact bat would be good for 2nd. Not completely opposed to Vivas.
In my life this is the best off season the Yanks have ever had. Goldshmidt still gives you 20 homers 70 rbi and is a better fielder than Alonso. Williams huge improvement over Holmes. Bellinger is 20 hr 75 rbi plays center very well.
And Fried gives them the best combo of starters in AL with Cole. Great moves.
Why not get a 3B and move Jazz to 2B
We not done yet!
Should've kept rizzo if all you got is goldschimtsame difference
I want a lefty bat
They will bring in a 1st baseman next season or develop 1 for next season
Not exactly ecstatic that the Yankees couldn’t match the Naylor deal that occurred right after Goldy - but I’m happy w Goldy.
Adore the Trevy trade - get a guy subscribing to the Matt Blake School of Pitching and see ya later.
In my opinion - Bregman makes us a WORLD SERIES TEAM. and I don’t love the idea of us dumpster diving at 2/3B. I don’t know what else they can do, but I love what Bregman does for this team.
Bregmans smug ass reply after getting caught for cheating will never disappear. Him and Altuve can forever eat a ny glizzzzy
Cashman is rebuilding. He wants his young guys in their lineup long term. Outside of pitching, he wanted Volpe, Wells, Dominguez, Rice, Jones on this team & little by little he is.
Yankees should've brought josh Naylor, Gimenes, Frankie Montaz and luzardo
Not a bad signing at all .. Goldschmidt hit more homers than Rizzo hit in 2 years. And managed to staay healthy.all year.
I feel like this is the most overhyped offseason in Yankee history. I don't hate the offseason, but to me it just seems like other Yankee fans are overcompensating for Soto leaving for the Mets. I think there would be a lot more scrutiny if he went anywhere else other than to the Mets or Red Sox.
Only thing bad about him is his age. The man can still pick it. Doesn't strike out a lot. Obp is good. And i think a change will be good for him. Professional or not it is hard to play well for a team that has a front office and manager that doesn't care. The cards are going nowhere and their players know it. Thats why noland wants out too
Yo what's up Dan do you think the Yankees should sign Brandon Drury a 2B
Oldschmidt
can’t Ben rice play catcher. he could be backup when he isn’t playing 1st.
Give me Ha-Seong Kim!
Not really any downside to this signing. Just compare him to who he is replacing just as good in defence and more run production for 1 year no long contracts
Could be Bregman
They arent getting a 2B. We already have one. We're moving Jazz back to 2B. Get ready for a Bregman signing.
Hes 37 years old? Might as well keep Rizzo or DJ at 1st
At least he can still hit. DJ and Rizzo can no longer hit
Don't hate it but Carlos Santana wouldda made more sense lol switch hitter same if not better defense and same power especially in yankee stadium batting left handed most of the time idk y they chose goldy tbh. Higher upside I guess
37 year old with a .245 bat, at least rizzo is 34
Yanks are going to have to eat some of Stroman's $.
Brendan Rodgers, formee gold golve, for 2nd?
We dont have much money left and nobody wants stro
Seems like a solid player.
Get Kim for second. No qualifying offer and he can lead off. I'd love to see jazz have a full season at 3rd. And trade stroman and rice for Andrew nardi from the marlins
Move Jazz to 2nd and grab a 3rd baseman???
Dominguez is not gunna lead off..
STOP WITH THE HATE ING , GOLDY IS A LEGITIMATE GREAT MLB PLAYER , EXCELLENT SIGNING BY THE YANKS , YOUR IGNORANCE AND HATE IS NOT NEEDED , YOU CAN HATE NOW THEN CHEER WHEN HE GREATLY PERFORMS , IGNORANT CLOWNS 🤡
We have a second baseman in Jazz. We need a THIRD baseman. Tired of out of position guys, That's one reason the fundamentals are so bad.
Yanks have to be careful trading all their young guys for older guys, they traded four young guys for Joey Gallo, that was terrible! They keep emptying out their minor leagues like that
Lineup is weak . They need Bregman ..and im not even a fan of his . Losing Soto changes the lineup dramatically
This move is too cheap, too cute. They are punting on this season with a win now team. They are waiting for Vlad Jr. or Tucker next year. They aren't getting either of them. They will be looking for a 1st baseman next year again when Pete Alonso is available now.
Goldschmidt and trading trevino are not great moves .
Thanks for the pointless 2 minutes. Why?! Is there a reason you don't just start the video?
Its a live stream just click on the timestamp
Sorry but I disagree. It’s ridiculous Samo Yankees signing an old player for one year. What is he 37 years old? I’m sick of the Yankees always putting a Band-Aid on things
So you’re desire is what? Have you looked at next years fa class? This is a considerably better team than last years team lol
@@tribalpc22 I do agree to that, but I’m just tired of one year contracts with old players
