The hot stove is going to be ice cold this winter. Because of the shortened season and no live gate, other than the Yankos and Dodgers, teams cannot afford to pay FAs $20 million/year.

Yankees should really just:
Re-sign LeMahieu Re-sign Tanaka Pick up Britton’s option Sign Realmuto Trade Gary Sanchez for bullpen arms Maybe trade Ottavino

Yankees should really just: Re-sign LeMahieu Re-sign Tanaka Pick up Britton’s optionSign Realmuto Trade Gary Sanchez for bullpen arms Maybe trade Ottavino One down. I'm with you on all of that. LeMahieu is top priority. I'm not sure if there are any other legit options at catcher besides Realmuto, but if they aren't able to get him then I would just continue to put up with Sanchez and hope something clicks. Higgy is fine, but I don't see him as a primary catcher for a full season. Granted in comparison to Sanchez he could be, but we want more than that. And if there's a way to get Trevor Bauer, that'd be great. I know he and Cole have/had some issues, but you would hope they can be grown men and set their differences aside enough to do something special.

And if there's a way to get Trevor Bauer, that'd be great. I know he and Cole have/had some issues, but you would hope they can be grown men and set their differences aside enough to do something special. Gary Sanchez is frustrating. There is so much raw talent there, but it just never seems to come to fruition in between the chalk lines. When he makes contact, he's hitting the ball as hard or harder than anyone....but his strikouts and how he expands the strike zone and swings at balls out of the zone, yet takes hittable balls in the zone....none if it makes sense. And his defensive issues just don't ever seem to improve. The passed balls have cost us. Gary may be a guy that really just needs a change of scenery. I really don't want anything to do with Trevor Bauer. He just doesn't seem like a guy that's got the Yankee mentality. I don't think he'd buy in to the way we do things here. He's very unpredictable, and he seems like he's very mentally fragile when it comes to the big spots. He's never had to perform in a big market and he's had issues keeping himself out of trouble even in Cleveland and Cincinnati with things he says, things he does, and things he writes on the internet. Again, like Gary Sanchez, there is talent there, but will it be able to rise to the top in New York, or will we have another situation where New York isn't good for him. If the Yankees are going to spend, I think the money is better suited to go to LeMahieu, Realmuto, and Tanaka. The Yankees rotation should be fine, even without Bauer: #1: Gerrit Cole is an ace. He was as advertised, he couldn't have done any more. #2: Luis Severino should be back in June or July. If he can be healthy and be 2017-first half 2018 Sevy...that's two aces with Sevy and Cole. #3: Jordan Montgomery stepped up big in ALDS Game 4 and showed how good he can be, and to do it in the Postseason showed his mental toughness. #4: Deivi Garcia was brilliant at times. He's young and hopefully will continue to get better. #5: Domingo German is also able to comeback. He was the ace for the first half of 2019. Would have been a 20 game winner before the incident. Can he repeat? Then there are other wild cards...Michael King, Clarke Schmidt, Jonathan Loaisiga, Luis Cessa....any of them can start, or team with Chad Green in an Opener situation. And this is the depth if they DON'T bring back either Tanaka or Paxton. Personally, I'd go with Tanaka just because I'm spooked by Paxton's arm injury. We've had such bad luck with injuries that I just feel in my bones that if we sign Paxton back, he's going down with Tommy John. Tanaka did not opt out a few years ago, so he's not money driven. If he can be had for a reasonable price and maybe Paxton would take a "show me" contract to prove himself....maybe both can be had. Nobody really knows what the financial situation is going to be in the offseason with no team getting any live gate revenue in 2020.

MLB will probably do something lame like fine him his share of the Playoff bonus money. It usually amounts to like $350k per player, so for a guy who just made $20 million this season, he's not going to miss the extra $350k.

The whole Justin Turner situation goes like this:
- Dodgers fans support and love JT, and most probably don't care too much about the incident.
- Dodger haters can't accept the Dodgers will be in the record books as 2020 World Series champions, so they'll use this JT situation to have something negative to complain about.
I without a doubt would've done the same thing. Sue me. 🤷🏽♂️
