"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 dont believe they will hold GLJ back if he is hitting in AA. Just move one of the vets to AA or DFA him. The question is how much offensive progress will he make this season. I cannot stand how they have been sticking with Volpe, but I am not in favor of forcing GLJ before he is ready.
I have not be one of the optimistic commentors on this site but I am ready to feel good about 2026. Grishman was a terrible move, The Martian should be with the big club not the washed up right handed hitter who hit .100 in ST and whose name I wont mention and Boone remains a disaster who manages like a guy hired out of the booth with 0 prior experince, BUT we have a team that should be in the playoffs and if we make the playoff Cole, Freid, Cam and Rodon will be better that any other staff we face.

My problem with Grisham's D is he too, gets turned the wrong way in a couple of balls, but he gets to almost everything, but if another fielder is there, he backs off and too many balls drop in. Last year, he had lots of big time HRs.. even if he hits 25+ HRs again, they won't be as nearly impactful, so I gotta give him a 👎
As for Wells, I think him being healthy, shows what her can do do he gets a 👍
Really, can Weathers, Cruz, & Gil all stay healthy? That's why I think once both Rodón & Cole are back in the rotation, Weathers gets moved to the bullpen.
About McMahon, Volpe, etc.: At…
