The lack of depth in that lineup is scary. If one of Altuve or Yordan is down for some time we've got major problems.
Now imagine it without Profar and Santander

Name a team other than the Dodgers or Yankees that has great lineup depth if a star bat or two goes down.

Wait what? That would arguably be the best 1-7 in baseball.

I love Christian Walker. If it is a 4-year deal, as being reported, that will be a bit tough to stomach. But C Walk is the real deal.

Would only feel comfortable with 4 years if there's an opt-out in year 2 or 3.

Yeah not signing 31 year old Bregman to 7 years but getting 33 year old Walker for a 4 year deal would be weird

This tells me they think Dezenzo can play OF. Still need an OF bat though.

Christian Walker is still their number one target which hasn't changed since I mentioned him back around September. The tricky part is.. how long are they willing to wait?

If I had to guess who the next move would be? That's tough. I'll call my shot and say the Yankees get Bregman and Walker signs here shortly after.

If this happens and Paredes is at 3rd for the next 3-4 years, do you try and get Cam Smith some outfield experience? Can't see waiting 3 years to bring him in at 3rd.

23-24 Seasons


That 1-2 will play. Let's get smart with OF moves and finish off the roster.

Depends on the money involved.

There have already been reports of him getting OF work. This is a problem you deal with whenever it needs to be dealt with.

Hope it's only 3 years.

Now you gotta think we move Press and sign one of Santander, Teo, or Profar. Still need to address the bullpen.

If they can move someone else and get a compensatory pick back as part of a deal, then the draft hit doesn't hurt as bad.
