Gold Glove last year

I look forward to seeing him in pinstripes. He grew up a huge Yankee, and Derek Jeter fan. The right field porch in Yankee stadium, will be a target for his much needed lefty bat. A good trade in my opinion.

Yankees issue is all the strikeouts and low average though. Joey Gallo is exactly that. He's been terrible lately too.

[sbuff]

 This season, he's batting .223/.379/.490 with 25 home runs and an AL-leading 74 walks. Gallo this season ranks in the top 3.0 percent of MLB when it comes to barrel rate, which is how often he hits the ball with the ideal combination of exit velocity and launch angle.  his max reading of exit velocity is 115.1 mph is in the top 5% of baseball. I'll go on record saying NY got the better deal. We only got "prospects " .

Average?? Is this 1984? And look at the overlay of the short porch on his spray chart, half his outs are leaving the yard. Hes obviously a massive upgrade to the lefty "options" they have now. Im on the record they should be selling though. They stink

Not that I care about baseball or any sport anymore but I was curious to know this guys career numbers.  He's a .211 lifetime hitter in 7 major league seasons.  He's another Gary Sanchez.  LOL He can hit a home run but makes an out every other time up.   He's listed at 250 lbs so he's not even hitting his weight for his career.  I can't see him being too valuable.

but the Yanks biggest problem is offense. They have every big name. Maybe a different approach would be worth looking into?

EDIT: Cole got shelled today.

No, the Yankee's biggest problem is not talent. They have an abundance of that! The problem the Yankee's have is there is no spark or continuity in the clubhouse, or on the field. It is the manager's job to prepare, evaluate, and make the best decisions for his team to win. Boone has done nothing but make excuses, and pander to his players. What that team needs is a swift kick in the butt!!! Boone needs to go!

[BizCT]

Sox got Schwarber, but i wish it was Rizzo instead. A healthy Chris Sale almost ready to return would be the biggest move in MLB.

Yea… Yanks have an immense amount of talent, but it’s like they forgot fundamentals and how to play the game.  The base running mistakes and outs at the plate are unbelievable.

NY problems are Aaron Boone

Again, this all falls on the managers shoulders to fix. If not fixed, the organization needs to find someone who can, and will fix all those fundamental problems. Making excuses, and pandering to professional players, being payed, very well to do their jobs, doesn't cut it. Especially when the organization has provided the best talent money can buy! Boone needs to go!

[The_Real_TCIII]

Fellas, relax. They win 95-100 games a year. Theyve run into a better team each year, it happens. Its hard to win a WS. If I had to bet one way or the other Id bet they make the playoffs again this year. The next couple weeks tell the tale, they need to feast on the Marlins/Os/Ms/Royals.

By the way wheres the outrage with the Dodgers having a billion dollar payroll?
