    Well, they just traded for a GG shortstop. Will probably either sign freeman or trade for Olsen. Still need a catcher and probably means hicks back in center at least until he gets hurt again

    Rortvedt is a left-handed hitter and Higgi is a right handed hitter so they may just platoon them depending on the starting pitcher… Unless of course, the Yanx find a better option behind the plate as a starter.

    Olsen traded to the Braves. Freeman most likely to dodgers and yanks get the consolation prize Rizzo

    Just heard about the Olsen deal on MLD Net. Bit of a shock that Freeman won;t be a Brave for life.

    Me too. And in other news sale has a stress fracture in a rib and will be out a while. That’s got to be a bitch for a pitcher who throws hard!

    ...and Correa gets 3 years/$105 Mil from the Twins with opt outs after the first 2 years ?...again, WTF ?

    Don't wanna hear any whining from the owners that they're going broke.

    Rizzo is the guy I've wanted to see back at 1st this year, even over Freeman (who would've cost way too much money), Olson, and/or any other. Imo Rizzo just has the moxy fit for Pinstripes, and he's a Vet who hopefully can lead others in the Clubhouse. He's capable of keeping things light, or challenging the team to get off of their asses and do what they're paid to do. 4 Gold Gloves, doesn't strike out near as often as Judge, or Stanton.
