2023-24 Yankees Offseason Discussion
- Thread starter jon abbey
- Start date
NY claims Diego Castillo (who came up in the NY system and was one of the two guys they traded to PIT for Clay Holmes) and DFAs Downs as expected. They still need to free up a 40 man spot for Luke Weaver.
that cool but if turner prices drops he can hit 25-30 hr and take pressre off judge and soto

Is this new news? Is this a new offer? Is he just saying that this what they offered him pre-Stroman?

I thought the original offer was 5 years $150 and allegedly Snell either wanted a sixth year or more money.
So, in theory this is a new offer?

NY is into the 110 percent tax bracket now after the Stroman signing, so $30M to Snell would cost Hal and friends $63M this season, possibly a little less in future seasons if payroll goes back down some, but a lot.
Andy Martino wrote today that Hector Neris is looking for somewhere between 2/14 and 2/22, I'd think NY would jump at the lower part of that range. Again it's the rare case where Cashman might prefer a two year deal to a one year deal to lock in a back end guy for 2025, but maybe they're not sure if Neris is that guy.

Lol at this franchise. They are taking the away uniforms and making the first update in 50 years to make it even more bland and boring.
You guys talk shit just to talk shit. I love it and would cry if we had a baby blue jersey or something.
NY keeps Gonzalez and Downs, ‘loses’ Thompson.

They can clear a spot on the first day of spring training by putting Dominguez on the 60 day IL (if they're sure he won't be back by early June) and they also still need to move a catcher, especially if Rortvedt is out of options, but space on their 40 man is getting tight for the first time this winter.
NY signs Luis Torrens to a minor league deal, MLBTR does a good job explaining why (presumably):
“With prospect Austin Wells and veteran Jose Trevino already on the 40-man and likelier to make the roster, Rortvedt could be squeezed out, and Torrens adds some depth in the event that he’s claimed by another club. If not, he can join Rortvedt and Carlos Narvaez as catching options in Triple-A Scranton, where he could also see occasional action at first base — a position where Torrens has tallied 482 innings between the majors and minors.”

Incidental question for the Yankees fans: has Austin Wells been hanging around the minors for a long time or am I confusing him with someone else? I feel like I’ve been hearing about him forever.
Not too long, I don't think. Wells was drafted in 2020 (and 2018, as a matter of fact - both times by NY), then started playing in the minors in '21.
I know it is completely irrational for lots of reasons, including cost, the fact that they signed Stroman, and the entirely plausible idea that Monty and Snell aren't interested in playing for NY absent a huge windfall, but as things drag on I'm kind of getting my hopes up that Cashman will swoop in and sign one of those two to a reasonable contract.
Yeah, it probably pushes Schmidt out of the rotation, but the fragility of the staff is an issue. I'm guardedly hopeful about Nestor and Rodon being healthy but I don't really know what to expect.

This is good news, I think he’s probably the best analyst NY has ever had (Cone is quite good too):

That's awesome. I'll always be a fan of Joe Girardi. Behind the plate, in the booth, and even as a manager I've always appreciated his work, flaws and all.
NY should find out in the next day or so if Diego Castillo gets claimed or if NY gets him back.
These fringe 40 man moves are usually meaningless but in this case, NY is very thin behind Volpe/Peraza at SS, their next real prospects are teenagers slated for low A (Arias and Lombard Jr.), so getting Castillo to Scranton would be welcome.

Yankees get another left handed Dodger reliever.
