The details: The Yankees acquire OF Austin Slater from the Chicago White Sox for RHP Gage Ziehl The Yankees have several objectives at the deadline. Improving the lineup was somewhere on that list, especially at third base. However, Brian Cashman wanted to do more than that: namely, improve the offense against left-handed pitching. The first move was […]

After an encouraging 18-game audition in 2022 (.306/.404/.429), he has crashed and burned to […]

Notes: In case you missed it, here is my article on the Ryan McMahon transaction. A day after hitting 1,200+ feet of home runs, OF Spencer Jones was out of tonight’s lineup due to back spasms. The Yankees are unlikely to mess with this, but as someone who has back spasms, I know how they can come […]

The details: The Yankees acquire 3B Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for LHP Griffin Herring and RHP Josh Grosz From the moment Spring Training began, third base was seen as the biggest weakness in the lineup. Oswaldo Cabrera stabilized things somewhat by playing average-ish defense and not-so-average-ish offense (.243/.322/.308; 83 wRC+). His performance wasn’t eye-opening. It was also hidden by […]
