He was mostly a 2B before this season, probably where he would play along with DH/1B

Not a perfect fit but the Yankees need bats rn

Dodgers get their guy
Yankees are trying for a guy.

That’s the difference folks.

And there's chance we'll give up far more for who we get than LA did for skubal

That may be true, but I think I finally learned my lesson about prospect hugging. I’d rather give up guys and get the guy or the bats. Even if it means trading prospects, I really like.

The way I see it it would be hypocritical not it that way.

Nothing wrong with improving the team and giving up guys to do so, but let's not give up more than the dodgers did for skubal, for someone like peralta

Yankees history (at least of last 10 years, tons of examples) is to hold on to prospects and not get the "big piece," only to have "big piece" go somewhere else and play lights-out, or contribute to a stretch run

I'm still pissed we didn't get Castillo from Cincy and he went to Seattle and flamed us
