Even the Yankee home game not on mlb! - 12 days ago

And to add insult, we have to listen to the Phillies broadcast crew instead of ours!

Re: MLB Pemium - 23 days ago

Thanks, I’ll have to call customer service, cuz I have a recurring subscription, so it renews automatically every year. I’ve had it for the last seven or eight years.

Are we getting anymore spring games on tv? - 24 days ago

For three games in a row, mlb.com hasn’t provided any tv broadcast. Are the yankee broadcasters taking a week off or is there a special channel to get spring games on tv? I’m paying for a full year of Mlb premium and I thought that included spring games as well. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Re: The Yankees offered between 220 to 240 million??? - 4 weeks ago

I agree, I think he’s gonna suffer the same fate that Mike Trout is suffering in Anaheim. Unless San Diego gets some notable names to surround Machado, he’s gonna get pitched around. No one’s gonna let Manny beat them when they can just walk him and get the guy who’s behind him or in front of him. That’s why San Diego hasn’t won anything since Tony Gwynn retired in 2001. Good luck Manny. One play

Any news on Machado? - 8 weeks ago

I live on the West coast now, after leaving New York in ‘64, so I don’t get the breaking news or rumors as fast as you guys on the East Coast. So are we totally out of the Machado sweepstakes and moving forward with the two new infielders we signed? Or were they just trade bait?

Re: Yankees' Clint Frazier says he's been cleared for spring training - 2 months ago

If the yanks release him, and someone else signs him, are the yanks still on the hook for the remainder of his contract? If so, why don’t they just trade him back to Boston for their equipment boy? Frees up a spot on our roster.

Re: Yankees signing DJ Lemahieu as Manny Machado hopes fade - 2 months ago

I totally agree, these agents are getting way out of hand with their demands. First they want these long term contracts for a king’s ransom, then they want an opt out option, and then they want a no-trade clause. Then if the player ends up sucking the last 3 or 4 years of the deal, the club can’t try to trade them without the players’ approval, yet the player can say “hey, I don’t want to play he

Re: My Wish List - 2 months ago

He would be a pretty good insurance policy if they don't sign Manny, at least till Didi gets back and beyond. I wouldn't balk at the signing.

Re: Zach Britton agrees to deal to return to Yankees - 2 months ago

Re: Zach Britton agrees to deal to return to Yankees - 2 months ago

Can you say Adam Ottavino. He would be the perfect guy to replace D-Rob. A N.Y. Native with a more than decent ERA and a 94 mph fastball and a stellar slider to go with it. But Casman better not wait too long or he'll be gone.

Re: Manny Machado will not be the Yankees' shortstop - 2 months ago

I guess the hierarchy believes in Didi's ability to come back stronger than before at a much cheaper price than Manny. Who knows what the Brothers are thinking at this point. I for one wouldn't give up on Andujar after that great rookie season he had. Who knows what his ceiling can be!

Re: Yankees reportedly agree to terms with Troy Tulowitzki - 2 months ago

That's a head scratcher, if they're still hoping that Machado chooses them. The safer bet would've been to sign Daniel Murphy who's at least a lefty bat.

Re: Japanese lefty Yusei Kikuchi agrees with Mariners - 2 months ago

I guess we didn't need another lefty starter that badly. Hope he doesn't turn into a Yu Darvish for Seattle.

Feliz Navidad ha todos! (Merry Christmas to all!)

Re: Manny Machado will be a tumor?? - 3 months ago

I won't lie, I wasn't broken up when Cano left to go to Seattle. I want 25 guys on this team who will hustle all the time, not just when it suits them. If Cano didn't hit it in the gap or over someone's head, you knew he wasn't going to bust it down the line. And I see Machado doing the same thing. And if you think that doesn't effect the rest of the guys that DO BUST THEIR BUTTS going down the f

Last comment on Manny Machado..till the next one - 3 months ago

We don't need Manny Machado. The guy will be a tumor on this team, he will mess up the chemistry with his selfishness. Sign Daniel Murphy to play second for a fraction of what it will cost to get Machado. Move Gleyber to short for a few months till Didi gets back, and don't mess with the good karma this team has built. Mark my words, Machado will destroy this team internally!

Re: J.A. Happ reportedly near deal with Yankees - 3 months ago

Just a thought - 3 months ago

If the Yanks aren't going to spend the cash for Machado (which I hope they don't ) why don't they sign the just released Troy Tulowitski to a one year deal to fill in at short til Didi gets back? I could think of worse deals, like Daniel Murphy for second and move Gleyber temporarily to short. At least Murphy is better than lame duck & light hitting Tyler Wade.

Re: Yankees’ target J.A. Happ ‘getting closer’ to deal with Phillies - 3 months ago

Don't understand Cashman's strategy. "We need to get front line pitching this winter." Corbin - gone, Eovaldi - gone, J.A. Happ - almost gone, Gray - still here. If he doesn't get off his duff, we will be stuck with Gray, while everyone else signs the front line guys we need! Sure we got Paxton, but he's said all along we need at least two front line guys yet it's like he's gone into hi

Re: MLB, commissioner Rob Manfred gaining support to limit defensive shifts, report says - 3 months ago

I'd like to see them go back to playing real baseball and not over-the-line softball. Enough with these shifts!

Re: Who Yankees may target following Corbin deal - 3 months ago

I guess we'll have to settle for the oldest of the three, since EVo resigned with the Sux. Unless Cash can convince Dallas to shave that massive beard and wear pinstripes.

Re: I got my answer in 24 hours. - 3 months ago

I'm royally pissed, to say the least. When Corbin stopped at N.Y., did he already have the Nats offer? Did he even mention the offer to Cashman so Cashman could at least try to match it? I mean if this was his last stop on his GM tour, Cashman should've been made aware of what his best offer was, so he could decide if they (Yanks) were going to meet or beat it.

Re: Is anybody getting concerned? - 3 months ago

Yeah, me too. You would think that if the Yanks made him a more than generous offer and IF he wants to play here that badly, he would tell his agent to just get the deal done so he could sit back and enjoy the holidays with his family instead of being on the road to all these other places. Sometimes it's worth it to listen to your siblings and your parents for a change. I hope they get it done be

Re: CC, Yankees agree to 1-year deal - 4 months ago

I agree with you. Don't know why they continue to hold on to older guys that are well past their prime. To me it's taking up a roster spot that could be used by a younger less expensive player. But, I'm not the owner or GM, so it's not on my head.

Re: Hal Talks to Joel Sherman - 4 months ago

Eovaldi was pretty good before he had surgery, Pineda was bad,after he had surgery. There's a difference. But I guess money talks and bs walks. All is forgiven once the dollars start being waved around.

Re: Hal Talks to Joel Sherman - 4 months ago

Eovaldi may not see it the way you do. He may see it as the club giving up on him before he had a chance to prove himself. I hope not, but I wouldn't blame him if he thought that way.

Re: Yankees Pick IF off Waiver Wire - 4 months ago

I truly believe in Didi. He's as resilient as any player on that bench. If anyone can come back, he can.

Re: Hal Talks to Joel Sherman - 4 months ago

As long as he doesn't foster ill feelings for us letting him go when he had his TJ surgery. Some of these guys have long memories.

Re: Yankees Pick IF off Waiver Wire - 4 months ago

What? We couldn't get Gretal in the same deal?

Re: Hal Talks to Joel Sherman - 4 months ago

Sounds like he was taking a close look at Machado's lack of hustle on the bases. That's certainly one thing you can't fault Harper on, is his ability to hustle, sometimes to an extreme when he crashes into walls chasing down fly balls. That would be my one concern, his ability to stay healthy and not get hurt so much. And as much as I don't like 10 yr deals, he would be 36 at the end, not 39 - 40
