I'm headed to the Bronx next week for the Tuesday night game vs the Yankees. Any suggestions for food around the stadium? Anything I shouldn't miss at Yankee Stadium?

Wagner's K:BB ratio is eye opening. Also, AAA pitching stinks.

As I recall from a couple of years ago, there's not much around the stadium. We stayed near Times Square and went straight to the park. Same with the Mets stadium- of course, it's out in BFE.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Thats next level but he's always had solid k and walk rates. His issue is he has no power. Might be a solid utility player.

There's a couple of bars around the stadium but Stan's is the only one I'd make sure to check out

Sounds like the recipe for a great 1B to me.

Bagwell can earn his keep by working with Joey on first base fielding tutorials.

I'd be happy if Bagwell sailed off into the sunset and had nothing to do with the organization anymore.

He'd be a great team ambassador. You know, a face of the franchise type who is there to make appearances and talk about his glory days. But other than that you are correct.

Any validity to this? Poster says in the comments it would be a salary dump for both teams with us getting Benintendi.

Pretty sure it's not credible but who knows with how Bagwell advises the team

How can both teams dump salaries by trading with each other?

I'm guessing he means trading both higher salary guys who they aren't pleased with. I'm just quoting what he said

Rewatching Moneyball and man did this just give me serious Jose Abreu vibes. Justice is 37 and they want to milk the last ounce of baseball he has in him. Problem is, Abreu ain't 37 like it shows on his fabricated birth certificate so there's nothing left to milk.

Anyway, carry on.

Abreu is owed less overall and they'd be out from under him sooner.

Beni is younger and still has potential to be fixed. It would help in the luxury tax payroll this season and next.

This surprisingly makes some sense.

So let's go player for player swap. They assume the remainder of Abreu's salary plus one of Benintendi's remaining three years.

Abreu either turns it around in Chicago or retires with the Sox. We get a left handed outfield bat and clears first base for Loperfido.

Benintendi is in the 2nd year of a 5 year deal that pays $16.5M/yr. He's 29 years old. Pretty significant drop off in his productivity in 2023 and 2024 so far. Lefty bat.

If they're willing to give you anything besides 20 year old Big League Chew, stale seeds, or BP baseballs for Abreu you take it and run.

When it says he can sell tickets do they mean on the phone or like at the box office on game day?

No, like in the south side door to door rocking the disgruntled old man attitude and braided chin pony tail.
