Anthony Volpe

That’s unreal.
Where would Gallo rank statistically if he was on the Yankees?
OBP: 1st
wOBA: 1st
xwOBA: 2nd
wRC+: 1st
DRS: 1st
fWAR: 1st
The idea that he wouldn’t significantly help our offense is hilariously wrong.
Source: A “strong amount” of the management within the Yankees office have extreme interest in a trade involving

1B Matt Olson. Nothing imminent.
Weird Fact:
Nestor Cortes had been in the Yankees organization in 2014, which kinda makes him one of the longest tenured Yankees even though he’s coke and gone
Gerrit Cole:
2.80 ERA
2.84 xFIP ✅
2.83 SIERA ✅
4.7 fWAR ✅
Carlos Rodon:
2.43 ERA
3.05 xFIP
2.89 SIERA
4.1 fWAR
Lance Lynn:
2.20 ERA ✅

3.81 SIERA
3.6 fWAR
Robbie Ray:
2.72 ERA
3.24 xFIP
3.19 SIERA
3.2 fWAR
The Yanks got Clay Holmes and Wandy Peralta for nothing. They’ve been great. An example of how good Cashman is and how you don’t need to give big money to relievers anymore.
Daniel Jones: The 3rd highest graded QB of the season by PFF.
Top 5 Highest Graded Passers:
1. Tom Brady
2. Daniel Jones
3. Derek Carr
4. Ryan Tannehill
5. Joe Burrow
Since Gary Sánchez has gotten regular playing time again (May 5th):
.244 AVG (6th among catchers)
.340 OBP (5th among catchers)
.488 SLG (4th among catchers)
.355 wOBA (3rd among catchers)
128 wRC+ (3rd among catchers)
11.7 BB% (5th among catchers)
0.7 fWAR (4th among catchers)
Cashman has stayed under the threshold and has still:
-Cleaned up the holes in the rotation despite having the 2-3 pitchers hit FA.
-Re-Signed DJ Lemahieu
-Upgraded the bullpen while lowering its price.
-Has about $9M to work with
Fantastic job
Tired: Chapman shouldn’t be the closer anymore
Wired: Eliminate the closer role and pitch your best pitchers in high leverage instead of holding one until you hopefully have a lead in the 9th
Not every trade has to be some game-changing move. Adding some nice bullpen depth with 3.5 years of control for two guys who’d likely be gone after this year makes sense.
