2K24: New York Yankees

[Judge Jude]

If they can get Severino and Betances back, I think they could still win it all. Starters would only have to go four innings. Maybe use an opener, then 3 or 4 for the "primary pitcher", then the rest of the pen.

I admire your optimism.

Is it time to drop Paxton in a shallow mixer? I'm in a fight for the last playoff spot and my ratios have been brutal for weeks. Paxton is the main culprit.

Hopefully you held on to him. He's been great since you reverse-jinxed him with this post.

Is that big baby Stanton going to play again this season?

Transferred to the 60-Day DL, making him ineligible to return until at least August 26th, although being that's just two weeks from now, that seems rather impossible. So I'd safely say no, he's not going to play again this regular season.

In a world where the baseball is flying out of the park in droves and HR hitters are dime-a-dozen, the Yanks still owe this injury-prone, 30 HR-type slugger almost $250m until 2028. This one's not gonna age well.

Have to agree there. As a Mets fan, I’ve taken a lot of grief about Cano from a friend who’s a Yankees fan. Cano and his 10 HR look pretty great compared to Stanton and his 1 HR, to say nothing about the dollars and years remaining.

Watch him stay healthy all next season and break the record for homers hit in a single year...

Ooh I’ll take that bet any day.

You should make him a keeper at $63. He owes you.

Sorry sunshine, the only place I own him is in the RJEL at 46 bucks, and he's an expired contract.

Ah, then I guess keep the bag of balls you got for him in MSGL.

Sure, I'll keep the potential .300+ hitter with 30+ steal potential...

[madducks]

I'm about ready to drop Tanaka. He is crashing and burning.

Looks like Tanaka finally remembered how to pitch. Of course he's on my bench for the gem. At least i didn't drop him. I'm still not starting him vs the Red Sox.

[cleo]

Tanaka has been great this year against the Red Sox - as long as you have ton of RS batters in your lineup.

Searching brain... Austin Meadows? Damn, good on you for getting a good return on Stanton before he turned into a pumpkin.

He was healthy all last season with the Yanks and had a nice 38 HR, 100 RBI season. If they get that every year out of him, I'm sure they'll consider the contract a success, even if it was an atrocious overpayment. The reality is that it was an anti-Moneyball deal -- they overpaid wildly for a player who provides a commodity that's now in abundance.

Naw, I wish...Nick Madrigal. No power, but this viewed as a .300 hitter with speed in the future. AL only, I'm pretty happy with the deal. Just got promoted to AAA ball after hitting .341 in double A with a .400 OBP. 14 steals in AA with 34 on the season...I'll take that for one homer.
