The Yankees seemed to take a defense-first approach last offseason, which make sense since they already had a lot of firepower in the lineup.

But Murphy can do both.

You know it.

If Judge doesn’t resign how likely would an Ohtani trade become? Or would he become the top priority next offseason? Granted that gives us 2 DHs with Stanton

Darragh McDonald

4:29

I don't think Ohtani will get moved until the deadline, if at all.

I also think that any team with a regular DH would be down the list of best fits.

So, as you said, with Stanton there, it's tough to see.

Darragh McDonald

We enjoy doing them!

4:31

This is by far the busiest one of these I've done so far.

Get rid of

Darragh McDonald

Wabbits?

Just Wondering...

4:31

How do you pronounce "McDonald"?

Darragh McDonald

4:32

is this going to become my version of Beads?!/Bees?!

Judge

Hello Yankee fans, as i know there will be a lot of questions surrounding me in this chat, i figured i'd pop in and let you guys know that no, i am not returning to the Yankees. I'll be going back home to the Giants. Thanks for the support? i guess you can call it that.

Darragh McDonald

4:33

You heard it here first, folks. Sorry for the bad news.

Any chance Britton comes back? Maybe on a one year deal with an option?

Darragh McDonald

4:33

I guess it's possible. Depends on if his arm gets better. I believe his velocity was down when he returned.

Guest

Does Chad Green return on a 2 year deal?

Darragh McDonald

4:34

Sure, I can see it. These things happen often after TJS.

Randy Abraham

Jabroni

Darragh McDonald

I can't disagree.

Your Uncle Jim

Sorry I called you an idiot. I meant "knucklehead". p.s. See you at Thanksgiving; I always bet on the Lions.

Royals fan here

4:35

Um, the Royals won two pennants in a row and a WS. That's a little more than "about a week". Have some respect for small market/ flyover teams, please.

Darragh McDonald

4:35

Sorry. I was being hyperbolic.

Boe 2

4:36

Why can't we let our young minor league talent play. We have superstars in the waiting.

Darragh McDonald

4:36

I've seen dozens of versions of this "why can't the kids come up" kinda question.

4:37

I haven't done a deep dive or anything but they put a rookie infielder in left field for the playoffs, didn't they?

4:37

Bees?

Darragh McDonald

4:37

I don't wanna steal Mark's bit.

Rodon

4:38

I would love to be in pinstripes...Will I be?

Darragh McDonald

4:38

I think the position player core will be more of a priority.

Guest

corbin was terrible last year

Darragh McDonald

4:38

So were Donaldson and Hicks.

Roulette Wheel

4:39

Not a question, but a comment on you're "just get into the playoffs" post. I've been screaming this for a while now and my friends are sick of hearing it. Its nice to see it validated. If there is a calculus to turn an 88 win Braves team into world beaters last year or a 87 win Phillies team into a juggernaut for 3 weeks, there's guys being paid a ton of money to figure it out and they can't. Preach, Darragh.

Darragh McDonald

The Dodgers won 111 games this year and wound up on the golf course because of three bad ones.

4:40

It's very frustrating but baseball is just less predictable than other sports.

In a short series among good teams, that's even more true.

Danny Jansen for Clarke Schmidt a starting point for an inter division deal?
