"One of the more interesting things Ive learned working in financial services is that once someone advances to the highest levels of a company most times you can start the clock on the end of his or her employment there. Either they do a bad job and get fired do a great job and another company swoops in to pay them more or.they do the job for X or so years make a ton of money and then just get completely burned out. Mike Shildt got to the point where he didnt need the money and the grind just wasnt worth it anymore. Im not one of those Fire Boone and Cashman fans. But both of those guys are"

"I hope Anthony gets the rest/rehab he needs this offseason so he can flush this season and come back ready to contribute next year. That said if his shoulder injury was so bad that it was going to require surgery Im shocked that the Yankees just kept sending him out there day after day. He was not effective offensively or defensively. And he was injured. I dont have all the medical information but it doesnt seem like the Yankees or Volpe got much accomplished by having him play through that injury"

"Im not trying to bash Cody Bellinger anymore because I went a little overboard last time but I think giving him a long term deal is insane. The outfield issue can be figured out. Maybe Grisham signs a QO. Maybe Jones is ready by mid season. Maybe Dominguez plays better at his natural position. Maybe they can trade for a semi capable defender there. There are some possibilities. I think with the window closing you sign the best player and then find a solution in CF. Committing 5-6 years to Bellinger to avoid answering the CF question for 2026 is shortsighted"

"Im probably in the minority here. But unless Bellingers market collapses I dont think the Yankees should resign him. He reminds me a lot of DJLM as a hitter albeit with more power and a better fit at Yankee Stadium. But hell also get twice the money. That said Bellinger relies on his low K% and low whiff % to put the ball in play and a higher than average BABIP to generate offense. As he ages and his bat speed slows that K% could climb similarly to how DJLMs did and thats when the offense will crater. Kyle Tucker is a better player a perfect fit for Yankee Stadium and the closest thing to"
