I had relievers Robert Stephenson and Phil Maton on my "wish list" as well.


Shoto Imanaga would have been a fine addition to the starting staff, and should definitely be on your list.


But my preference during the last off season was to vastly improve the bullpen.

Kopech and Puk to me are the 2 that got away. But with the high cost of Mark Leiter, I think that price could've been used to get at least one of those guys. YY was never coming here, for his own reasons. Hader. Could he have handled the media here? Chapman eventually gets overpaid (by contract length) for being an already lesser Chapman. The free agent I really wanted was Lee, to play CF, but that was a no go once they traded for Soto, Grisham, & Verdugo at the Winter Meetings.


But the truth is, the Player development entire program is total garbage. To me, that is the biggest issue. Too many injured pitchers, too many underperforming bat…

For now, they have the speedy Jon Berti should they want someone to play 2B in place of Gleyber Torres. Berti hit very well in his rehab appearances at Somerset and Moosic (where the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders ACTUALLY play).

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"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."
