Why your best hitter should not bat 3rd. The 3 spot in the lineup comes up with 2 outs and no runners on far more than any spot in the lineup. This is the 2023 season for example The 3-hole is a filler spot where you put your 5th best hitter

This can’t be true, I was told that the owners offer was pure gold and the players gained so much from it!
With the owners' new proposal, it's time to run update my net increase/decrease analysis for player salaries. It assumes a 4% increase in salary year over year to match historical trends and that luxury tax penalty payments to players go away. Net -$457 million to players

It’s always Marlins/Pirates/Reds fans crying about some “boohoo unfair league :(“ Never the Brewers or Rays fans, weird.
Wow Says the……Yankees fan! Wow! Now we have a Mets and a Yankees fan pushing for no cap! Let’s get a dodgers fan in here next to cap off the holy trinity! I wonder why the Mets and Yankees fans want no cap!

Again, if the owners are willing to implement a salary floor, ask yourself why they can’t already spend this money? Why do they need to implement rules for them to spend more? They think fans, especially Pirates/Reds fans, are stupid
With free agency already underway, and recognizing that Clubs will need a full offseason to operate within the cap and floor system, MLB is proposing to phase in the salary cap and floor in 2028 The projected cap and floor payrolls for 2028 would make 12 clubs increase payroll by $636M to reach the floor, and 8 clubs to decrease payroll $528M to reach the cap. Overall, this would net a $108M payroll increase Starting in 2028 would allow a smoother transition into the cap and floor system without delaying key player benefits

I think this is an offseason that actually could happen and makes the Yankees far and away the best team in the American League 1st picture is vs RHP 2nd picture is vs LHP

For the people talking about Belli in CF Let’s say I added a defensive minded 4th outfielder and traded away Heliot Ramos, then we have a rotation where Belli plays LF and Suzuki plays RF on Judge’s DH days. I’m imagining more of a rotation than this being their everyday spots

MLB teams trade young, legitimate MLB talent and fringe top 50 prospects for good/great players all the time but when a Yankees fan puts together this exact package they get treated like a terrorist Just tell me you’ve never seen a superstar trade before

Alright Padres fans, I want to make things right, would THIS get a deal done for Fernando Tatis Jr? I really tried to put together something fair here, hopefully we’re close 🤞

What if Fernando Tatis Jr waived his no trade clause and the Yankees and Padres did something cool (again)

Imagine if any of you Padres fans responded with something reasonable instead of losing your mind over a fairly reasonable trade package, that’d be pretty cool Fuckin freaks

Is this the Yankee doomer section of Ohio State?
All you Ohio State sunshine pumpers better take note. This is why the "lunatic fringe" exists. This is why people nitpick and point out things that are bad even when we're winning. Because sooner or later, games like this will happen and ya'll just would rather ignore it.

Anyways, Ben Rice’s regular season “everything else” rates 2025: .337 OBP, .499 SLG, .836 OPS, 26 HRs, 131 wRC+ 2026: .363 OBP, .534 SLG, .897 OPS, 41 HRs, 149 wRC+
Ben Rice’s regular-season strikeout rate: 2025: 18.9% 2026: 24.3%

Jonah Heim to the Yankees just makes sense He has a career .763 OPS and 111 wRC+ vs left handers. Perfect platoon to Austin Wells, who has a career 103 wRC+ vs right handers The only concern is his defense, the framing has fallen off, but the Yankees catching lab can fix that

This also leaves room to shop bigger in other places (CF, 3B, etc)
