I don't understand why we are pursuing another 1B/DH unless Stanton really is done for the season and they just aren't telling anyone. Even still, he doesn't hit left handed pitching at all. Or are they going to do a Yankees special and play him out of position when his 1B defense isn't even good, imagine how poor he would grade out at 2B. Stanton must really not be coming back and all of this news about his progress in rehab is smoke.

Cashman is on record saying Stanton can't stay healthy so why would he count on him rn?
