when you have Craig Biggio in your hall of fame but not Barry Bonds....you're hall of fame is a ing joke. baseball needs to get its head out of it's ass. 400 "writers" shouldnt be deciding who is and isn't a hall of fame player First off as a Pirates fan I loved Bonds and he should be in the hall of fame. Should have been in on the first ballot. He was always a 5 tool player who was having a HOF career in Pittsburgh before he started juicing in SF. His hands & bat speed he was going to have the numbers whether he was on them or not. But Biggio definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame as well. And on a sad note it’s being reported that Jeremy Giambi is dead at 47 from an apparent suicide.

Yankos screw the Twins again and get Josh Donaldson for Gary Garbo Sanchez and Garbo Urshela
Braves trade for Matt Olson and sign him for 8 years/$168 million.

Now we'll have to see how things go for NY with vaccine mandates. The whole thing is ridiculous at this point between Kyrie not being able to play and potentially baseball players OUTDOORS.

That sucks for Bryant. Welcome to obscurity.
Freddie Freeman to the Dodgers.
Who moved on from who between him and Atlanta? They gave Olson 8/168 and Freeman gets 6/162 from LA. You’d think they would want to keep Freeman.

You’d think they would want to keep Freeman. Freddie is going to be 33 before the season is over, Olson only turns 28 next week. Olson was the right decision for Atlanta. I wish the Yankees has traded for Olson and signed Correa instead of getting Donaldson and Rizzo, but it is what it is.

I don’t care about Correa. Olson would’ve been nice. I'd have taken Correa or Seager. I think I would have preferred Seager because if Anthony Volpe is what the Yankees seem convinced that he is what they think he is....in 2 years you could move Seager to 3rd. But I think the Yankees need to stop this prospect hoarding. I don't think any organization hypes up their own prospects like the Yankees do when they've had almost ZERO success in developing players since the 90's. I believe that you should ALWAYS trade prospects for IMPACT PLAYERS because prospects can always just be a bust. There's ZERO chance that Semien, Story, Seager, Correa, Freeman, etc are going to go to their new teams and just all of a sudden start to suck and be horrible....ZERO chance. But in 3 years the Yankees could look up and Volpe and Peraza could be worthless. The Yankees were so in love with Clint Frazier and Miguel Andujar after the 2017 season that they refused to trade them for Gerrit Cole...Gerrit Cole in 2018 or 2019 could have led to the Yankees winning the World Series. Instead, they held on to Frazier and Andujar for so long that they got exposed, lost all value, and now Frazier is gone and you can't give away Andujar. Volpe is 20 and has never played above A! By the time he gets to the Show and becomes what you think he is (if he even does), Gerrit Cole is no longer going to be an ace and then the Yankees excuse for not winning can go back to being that we have bad pitching. Gerrit Cole will be 32 before this season is over, when you sign him to a 9 year deal, you need to be in ABSOLUTE WIN NOW MODE for at least the first 5 years of that deal. To sign Gerrit Cole to the 9 year deal and then let the rest of the team CRUMBLE around him makes ZERO SENSE. Why get him then? He can't do it himself. If it was me, I trade Volpe and Peraza to Oakland for Olsen. I'll even give him the same 8 year extension. I would have still traded Gary, but I also would have traded Gleyber Torres instead of Gio. The best offensive and defensive Yankee infield, and only SLIGHTLY more expensive... 1B: Matt Olson 2B: DJ LeMahieu SS: Carlos Correa 3B: Gio Urshela If you trade Gleyber, Sanchez, and Voit, your payroll is probably less than paying Josh Donaldson (almost $22 million) and Rizzo ($16 million). Matt Olson is getting paid $15 million this year by Atlanta (CHEAPER THAN RIZZO!) So by getting rid of Sanchez ($7.5 million), and trading Voit ($5.2 million), and Gleyber ($5.7 million)......that's $18.4 you can clear...so instead of paying 36 year old Josh Donaldson almost $22 million, just spend $5-6 million more and get CARLOS CORREA! Semien was even cheaper, he only got $25 million a year! But the Yankees are insistent that Anthony Volpe (20 years old) and Oswald Pereza (21 years old) are the next Cal Ripken Jr and Honus Wagner. I just don't get the Donaldson thing....I mean, I get that the Twins were NOT giving you IKF and Rortvedt, while taking on the salaries of Gary and Gio unless they could dump the Donaldson contract.....so, I get it, but why the Yankees would even want to do that is insane. Donaldson is 36 years old, has had back issues in recent years....I get he hits better than Gio, but if you are HURT it DOESN'T MATTER. And wait until 2023 and you have 37 year old Josh Donaldson on the payroll for almost $22 million....and THEN in 2024 you either have 38 year old Josh Donaldson for $16 million OR you buy him out for $8 million....the Yankees SHOULD have been able to do a LOT more with $52 million dollars. I'm LESS upset about Rizzo because I feel like if you look at his 2019, the chance that Rizzo has a rebound year in a competitive environment and in a ballpark like Yankee Stadium IF he can even play there with the stupid vaccination policy....he could MAYBE put up a similar line to 2019 (.293/27/94). SO essentially the Yankees got slightly better than 2021....but the Blue Jays got ASTRONOMICALLY BETTER and the Rays just seem to always be great. The Yankees could very realistically be a 4th place team. If you are looking at your roster and there's a chance you could finish 4th, you didn't do your job. And I'm not even going to jump on the internet bandwagon of people calling Hal CHEAP, he's not CHEAP. The payroll is going to be over $250 million! Only the Mets and Dodgers are spending more! They've SPENT, they've just spent STUPIDLY. But as it stands right now, the Rays are better, the Jays are better, and the Yankees and Red Sox are probably in a dead heat.

I wish the Yankees has traded for Olson and signed Correa instead of getting Donaldson and Rizzo, but it is what it is. Its not what it is. Josh Donaldson is a don and can give the Yankos .300/37 HRs/120 RBIs playing 81 games in Yankee Stadium. Turns out Gio Urshela and Carlos Correa will be playing 3B/SS together, just not for the team we all thought it would be.
