Are you pleased with the Yankees' approach thus far this off-season?
Do you believe the Yankees will make some big moves?

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

I agree with every move the Yankees have made this fall, with the exception of the Grisham QO, to which I was opposed for exactly the reason that I feared he would take it. I'm thinking of changing my user name to ProfCassandra.
But everything else, I like, including not signing any of the people who are now off the board. But I'm still waiting for 1) Bellinger or Tucker, 2) Imai, 3) better bullpen arms. If those things don't happen, then I will be very dissatisfied.
Horrendous offseason for the once mighty New York Yankees. Now just an MLB laughingstock. Big move? Nope. Big move was Grisham. This team is a joke. The AL east will feast on them in 2026. Other divisions will likely as well.
If I were Judge, I would demand a trade to the dodgers so I can get a ring before I hang it up. Maybe even the Mets, Jays or Phillies. Guaranteed one or more of those teams wins a WS before the Yankees. I’m so utterly disgusted right now. I have zero excitement for the upcoming season. Sold my tickets for the couple games I was flying up to see to fans of the opposing teams. Still goi…
my honest answer is that OF COURSE I wish we had already made several big winning moves, BUT for most of the teams the winter has been pretty quiet so far. our fellow AL East teams have been by far the most active teams
if we look at the players who have moved, how many did any of us really want or actually believe the Yankees were interested in?
Alonso- I feel like the consensus here is nobody wanted him
Schwarber? I love him. i always want him. i feel like a lot of us would have liked to get him BUT we also knew the chance of that was about 1 in a billion
Diaz? would you have really…
This is a joke, right?
Couldn't be more DISpleased. The years of Steinbrenner success are long gone. As long as the team is profitable, Hal is happy.
