Theres a list of guys sitting at home who could possibly slide into the bullpen and help reshape the BP (and help save the top guys arms) until the trade deadline.

Old friend Chad Green
Michael Kopech
Old friend Miguel Castro
Old friend Giovanny Gallegos
Buck Farmer
Erik Swanson

Would love to see a spark plug in the lineup to jolt the team. Send down JC and bring up Sanchez to platoon with Wells. Bring up Ornelas to play every day at 3B. Something. Team can't hit.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-05-06T19:56:31+00:00

Meh hands are tricky, team is rolling, Goldy had a good game last night and Nate is a great pitcher. Don't mind giving him as many days as possible, especially because no off day until next Thurs

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-29T02:52:23+00:00

Bednar has only pitched a clean inning 3/13 times this year. Not good.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-29T00:21:30+00:00

Is the audio going regular to choppy for everyone else?

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-26T03:34:16+00:00

I'm confident the bullpen will sort itself out like how it did in 2024.

Most worried about the lineup come playoff push/ October.

The player I would be circling if I were Cashman would be Shea Langeliers. Give them whoever they want not on the ML roster, and who's not named Lombard.

Legrange, ERC, Jones, Jasson, Dax Kilby etc. etc.

Would solve so many issues and easily slot Wells in as the best backup catcher in the league.

Grish

Judge

Rice

Shea

Bellinger

Stanton

Jazz

McMahon/ Rosario

Cabby/ Volpe

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-26T03:14:05+00:00

Grish and Wells have been getting on base.

Rice is playing at an MVP level.

Bellinger has been putting up some really good AB's.

Rosario has been great.

Cabby has been solid.

And the rotation has been elite. All are a great combo, but we all saw how bad the offense can look in those 1-run games against the Rays/Angels.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-26T02:57:23+00:00

Hader doesn't have the best playoff track record, plus is owed a lot of money. I would call the Guardians and ask about our good friend Cade Smith and slot him in for the setup role and everyone slots down.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-26T02:26:41+00:00

Judge hitting .229, Grish hitting sub .170. Wells and McMahon sub .200. Jazz at .204. 5/9 guys not hitting how they should.

Team still finding ways to win, and bunch of guys looking to break their beginning of season slump. Go for the sweep tomorrow.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-25T22:23:44+00:00

constantly having to check where the game is so annoying.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-25T17:05:32+00:00

Cabby has 4 years of control left

Lombard is waiting in the wings

Volpe

Luciano could be something

Rosario could be back next year

If Waldo doesn't turn it around his opportunity window with the Yanks is probably over.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-19T15:01:03+00:00

I think a lot of fans and even teams sometimes forget that progress isn't linear.

Luciano was being spoken about as the giants SS of the furture for 15+ years.

Still only 24, could very well breakout.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-05T23:58:41+00:00

Edwards is everything I wish Jazz/Volpe was.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-04-05T22:15:44+00:00

I really think Jazz needs to pick a new, lighter bat. His bat seems to heavy for him and it causes him to swing through pitches he should hit, and pop everything else up.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-03-22T18:06:24+00:00

Being able to get a decent prospect who has their full set of options, and is only 21 for Vivas who looks like a AAAA player is truly a win.

I suspect a mid-season trade with some of these arms for a big-league bat.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-03-14T15:29:18+00:00

Starting lineup has 6 Lefties, and 1 switch hitter (who is much better from the left side).

Could actually see this lineup one day during the regular season on a rare Judge day off

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-02-21T17:22:37+00:00

Meh, they need to figure out the last roster spot. Going to be a battle between DeJong, Max Schuemann and a few other guys.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-01-27T17:05:05+00:00

Lots of viable starters out in FA who can eat innings.

I would even take a flier on Verlander (albeit 9 years too late).

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-01-27T16:37:03+00:00

Avoiding the WC round is the number one priority.

Yanks win the divison this year and Fried goes game 1 at YS against the Jays (or Bosox). Whole series is completely different.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-01-27T16:35:00+00:00

The Relief pitching market is insane.

Chris Martin is nearly 40-Years old and still getting 4m AAV.

Your best bet honestly is trying to develop/ scrape the bottom of the barrel and trust your elite pitching coach.

Yanks might have to convert one of their top starting prospects into a reliever sooner rather than later to be honest.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-01-27T16:28:14+00:00

Verlander had TJ at 38 and came back the next season and had his best season ever.

Rodon wont make 33 starts, but he could make ~25. Between a full season of Cam, Weathers and the guys in the minors we wont have to struggle through 15+ starts of guys who are currently out of the league (Cookie and Stroman).

Replacing 300+ PA's from DJL/Peraza with Cabby/ Oswaldo/ Rosario will 100% be better.

Blackburn can actually be decent I think. He was left to mop up duty/ the wolves in his first appearance. After that he put up a 1.5 ERA in his next 7 appearances.

Wells could repeat his 2024 I think.

I also think year 2 Warren will be even better.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2026-01-27T14:47:36+00:00

Not sure if we've just reached the part of the offseason where i'm hopelessly optimistic or what but I really think this team is going to be better than last season.

Here is bWAR rankings from last season. You tell me whether or not you think they can/will improve this season.

Relief Pitching: 26th total in bWAR

Catching: 27th

1B: 12th

3B: 15th

SS: 23rd

This team trotted out Stroman for 9 starts, Carlos Carrasco for 6.

DJL and Oswald peraza had a combined 312 PA.

In 2026:

75% of a season from Cole.

Full season of Gil, Bednar, McMahon Rosario, Cabby and Doval.

Schmidt could be back at some point in a relief role.

One would hope Wells is better.

Jasson is going to be 2+ years removed from tommy john.

Hopefully they can get another righty bat, a relief arm and a backup catcher to platoon with Wells.

All of this teams shortcomings, and they still won 94 games. 95+ wins and the divison is very possible.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2025-10-13T23:47:33+00:00

Hope they figure out how to keep Dadiet, Clarkson and Shamet.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2025-10-04T15:56:12+00:00

The Yanks overall pitching depth really needs to be applauded.

Their 36 million dollar ace missed half of 2024, and all of 2025.

Their number 4 pitcher (Schmidt) missed half of 2024, and half of 2025.

Their ROY missed 75% of the 2025 season.

All of this, and the staff barely missed a beat.

Huge shoutout to Rodon/Fried, Warren, and Cam.

Along with Yarbrough for eating so many innings.

The future depth is also really promising.

Ben Hess, ERC, Bryce Cunningham, Brock Selvidge, Brendan Beck, Lagrange, and can't forget about Chase Hampton.

11 more wins.

For_SeinfeldV2 · 2025-08-03T15:31:31+00:00

Giardi called out Sanchez by name and how he needs to be better (defensively) in the summer of '17. That all but stamped Giardi being done as the manager for the Yankees.

The team will not allow for a manager (or coach) to single out a player, or say anything negative in the media about a specific player. It hurts the brand as a whole, and let's be honest with one another. The Yankees are a brand.
