12.23.24

Offseason update and thoughts...

We need one more move to be made, but it's been a busy week or two.

Max Fried feels like it could be Rodon 2.0 - paying ace money for someone who is just an inning eater. Rodon had 175 innings last year at nearly a 4.00 ERA. His contract looks cheap now only a few years later, but how many inning eaters does one staff need.

Over under for Fried 2025 ERA - 3.50. I'll take the under, but barely.

Devin Williams - good pick up. I like him as the closer and Weaver as the set up man. I guess they'll need to make a decision post-2025 on who gets the role, or they can just bring them both back? I think I like Williams the most of the 4 deals, but a back injury scares me.

Over under for Williams saves - 27.5. I think he gets hurt again (sadly). I'll take the under.

Cody Bellinger.....could be the best move or the worst move. Hard to tell at this stage. It's not my money, but the contract is definitely tough. I like the move overall though. I like him the most in LF and let Jasson play CF.

Over under for Cody OPS - a nice clean .800. I'll be over the moon if the over hits. I'll choose to be optimistic here and hammer the over.

Paul Goldschmidt - again, not my money. I think it's a good 'buy low' contract, but I'm a bit skeptical. Truly, anything is an upgrade at 1B after last year, but this is one that I don't see going well. Remember Jay Bruce? If we get solid defense with the threat of pop, I'm mostly happy.

Over under for Goldy HRs - 20. I will sadly take the under.

Happy New Year! The Yankees need to make one more move, even if they don't a) think they do or b) want to. They simply have to rid thems...
