I swear, Cashman never checks injury histories for anybody. The list of players starting with Jacob Ellsbury, who were so obviously unavailable on a regular basis, and had tons of red flags before he even brought them in, is nearly endless.

He loves "High Ceiling, when available...or 5 years younger" players.

Let's not forget Rodon... To me that already feels like another Ellsbury contract.

Oh, I didn't forget. Cashman did though.


I'll give him another season though, to see if 2021-22 were the outliers, or if 2023 and every season before 2021 were the outliers.

He'd be an upgrade. At least he can't actively hurt the team on the field.

Giancarlo Stanton and Carlos Rodon are basically 50 Bobby Bonilla's on the team next year, while also taking up a roster spot as negative value players.

Not to mention Anthony Rizzo and DJ LeMahieu aren't exactly guaranteed to play full seasons either.

I'd trade Stanton for Bobby Bonilla tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't think the Mets are that thick in the head for that to happen.

Only way for the Yankees to improve:

Find a way to get rid of Stanton

Find a way to get rid of Cashman

Find a new owner - George Steinbrenner is rolling in his grave the way the son runs things
