2K24: New York Yankees

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Yankees are finalizing a trade with the Rangers for Rougned Odor.

Really curious if this is a response to someone being injured. I didn't see an obvious opening on the 26-man roster for the Yankees.

Jay Bruce sucking insurance (moving DJ to first base)?

Maybe they found a trade for Tauchman that they like?

Tyler Wade seems pretty expendable

Nah, they love him. He's a Yankee for life.

Who backs up shortstop? Wade is actually rather valuable as he can play almost everyone and has decent speed off the bench.

Yankees fans seem to think Gio can. He played there a few games in 2017 and 2018. And they are tired of Wade (the fans that is).

We'll see.

[Judge Jude]

Wade has a laughable 56 career OPS+ in 346 PA with the Yankees. "valuable" is not a word I'd use for him - fielding versatility only goes so far.

then again, Odor has never played anywhere but 2B in the majors.

Thairo Estrada was removed from the 40 man. Wade has one option remaining so he could be sent down.

ONe of the better beards in MLB will disappear with this deal. BOOOOOO!

I do wonder if their facial hair rules apply to AAA. If I were him I wouldn't shave it until they actually called me up.

It does. It's the entire organization and it's very dumb.

Even UPS finally abolished that antiquated old rule and now allows their drivers to have a neatly trimmed beard.

[Judge Jude]

Former Reds catcher Dann Bilardello on then-owner Marge Schott's strict hair policy in the 1980s - "We're lucky she lets us have eyebrows!"

[Sour Masher]

It does. It's the entire organization and it's very dumb.

Yes, it needs to change. There is not reason for it other than it has been that way, and that is a dumb reason.

[BuckyBuckner]

it does need to change, or just go away. But I remember hearing Derek Jeter talk about it and they all liked it cause they felt it created team unity. I found that surprising.
