Agreed. But they can’t hit. At least fire the hitting coach. Shows something!

I’m at a loss for words
8 runs in 5 games on the homestand. 1-4 record in those games, and if you ask me that 1 win was lucky. Braves bullpen decided to choke and stop throwing strikes

I think the anticipation is they will be out of it even in the very weak NL Central, and as they have too many very key players in option years (Rizzo, Bryant, Baez), they figure to not retain them all.
Rizzo seems like the one most likely to sign back with the team, but that's nothing more than a semi-educated guess on my part...
Just stating the obvious, but they have until mid-season to do so.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
And I am sure they will wait as long as possible to make any deals. Unless someone absolutely blows them away with a ridiculous offer, which is very unlikely...
When the Yankees are down, you stomp on them. You don't help them out by giving them a ridiculous offer
In that scenario, the Yankees would be the team making the ridiculous offer, assuming any interest in getting Rizzo prior to the deadline.
And the Cubs are less interested n stomping the Yankees than the Sox are. They feel that way about the Cardinals...
You don't think other teams and players love seeing teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, or Red Sox fall on hard times?
Sure, but not enough to affect making or not making deals with them.

The Red Sox made a trade with the Yankees this past off-season and helped them achieve their goal of getting under the tax limits.
If the Cubs get offered 2 or 3 good prospects for Rizzo that overwhelm them, they will take it. Theo's primary goal is the success of the Cubs, not the demolition of the Yankees...
It was a head-scratcher, as we, too were seeking to stay under the tax line, but who has won the trade, so far?
BTW, Ottavino comes off the books in 2022- just in time for us to start spending big, again.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
I didn't think so.
Bloom bought a prospect that he was enamored with. And in order to get him all he had to do was pay Adam Ottavino to pitch for a year...
