And Boone needs to give Jazz the red light on challenges. 4 for 17 ain't acceptable. Just wasting them.

He’s terrible on challenges. Was at a game against Houston and he challenged one right down the middle.

2 out of 3 against a team with a +.500 record. I'll take it.

To figure out what we need in the 9 batting spots... I grade it this way...
Needs to be either:
1. Top 3-4 at position offensively in AL
2. Top 2-3 Defensively + 8th or better offensively in AL
Based on the results of the season so far:
Austin Wells - last offensively, 5 or 6th defensively (FAIL, won't trade away because he has been the catcher of a highly productive staff)
Ben Rice - 1st offensively, bottom 2-3 defensively... (PASS)
Jazz Chisholm - 1st or 2nd offensively, middle of the pack defensively (PASS)
Jose Caballero - Bottom Third Offensively, Bottom Third Defensively (FAIL)
Anthony Volpe - Bottom Third Offensively, Middle of the Pack Defensively (FAIL)
Ryan McMahon - Bottom Three Offensively, 5th or so defensively (FAIL)
Cody Bellinger - 3rd - 5th Offensively, 1st Gold Glove Level Defensively (PASS)
Trent Grisham - 5th or so offensively, Only Trout is worse defensively (On the bubble, grade him on a curve because no Judge, so pass with some help)
Based on this....
Only Rice, Jazz & Belli pass.
Grisham is borderline, if he was batting 6th, I'd be happier with him.
Have a hole at C, SS, 3B, RF & DH currently.... Obviously Judge is supposed to fill one spot.
Can't have Wells, Volpe/Caballero, McMahon being this bad.... 2 of those 3 can't be in the everyday lineup... McMahon has been an .800 OPS guy over the last 2 months, so he's my vote to stay
My Healthy lineup
1 - Jazz Chisholm Jr.
2 - Cody Bellinger
3 - Aaron Judge
4 - Ben Rice
5 - (Need somebody here C, SS or DH)
6 - Trent Grisham
7 - ( Need somebody here C, SS or DH)
8 - Ryan McMahon
9 - (Need somebody here C, SS or DH)
*Giancarlo slots in at 5 when the playoffs come around*
Bench:
Austin Wells
Paul Goldschmidt
Jose Caballero
Anthony Volpe
Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones

Pitching (I'm going based on WPA added and reputation):
Rotation for the playoffs, rest of the season inconsequential:
1 - Cole (I delegate to the experience)
2- Fried
3 - Schlittler (He's pitching CY Young level, I have concern about guys/good teams grinding out ABs against him due to lack of refined secondary stuff)
4 - Rodon
Bullpen:
Need more than 1 inning - Paul Blackburn
Lefty - Tim Hill.... I guess. Great groundball pitcher, I think he's been getting worn out
Need a strikeout or two - Fernando Cruz (his walk rate is what keeps him from getting to the next level and being a true set up man)
The guy who gets used the most - Brent Headrick (been our best pitcher this season)
Closer - David Bednar (Been lights out the last 2 months)
Then you carry 2 of Weathers, Warren, Schmidt
Angel Chivilli has looked good so far.
The problem is how do you get to Bednar... And that's where you need some trades.

Trade Thoughts
Catchers:
1. Shea Langeliers (Have 2 seasons in Arbitration after this)
2. Hunter Goodman (Have 3 seasons in Arbitration after this)
3. Ryan Goodman (Free Agent after the season)
4. Adley Rutschman (Meh)
Outfielders
1. Byron Buxton (You know... If the Twins want to trade him. I'm in)
-They want a RH bat. My guess is that means Schumann is moved somewhere.
Starting Pitching:
1. Tarik Skubal (I don't know if he's still getting traded honestly, but wouldn't be surprised either. Don't really think it's necessary unless it is Skubal).
Relief PItching:
1. Mason Miller
Need a 7th or 8th inning guy. And another reliable arm.
Guys getting traded out
1. Camilo Doval (They will trade him for essentially to Get out. He's making $6mil this year, need to get some money out because they'll be adding at least 3 new guys on the major league roster).
2. Jake Bird (If they add 2 guys in the pen... It'll be Bednar, Cruz, Headrick, Hill, Blackburn, the 2 new guys, and as many as 3 SPs who are in the pen for the playoffs. And Yarbrough too are all ahead of him)
3. JC Escarra or Ali Sanchez - If they get a MLB level catcher, they're odd men out, one has to go.
4. Ryan Yarbrough (Numbers game. He's not terrible, but if they make trades for bullpen guys, he's at the bottom of the pecking order once Doval and Bird are moved),
My guess for the deadline:
-A catcher
-2 Relief Pitchers
-Clear out Doval, Bird, Escarra
Long-term roster construction:
C - As long as they don't get Jeffers or Rutschman, it'll be Langeliers or Goodman with Wells as the backup, and they'll clear out most likely Escarra.
1B - Rice
2B - Jazz will get a new deal. Could be proven wrong, but I think the FO genuinely dislikes Arraez's fit.
3B - I think the Yankees start looking at a long term 3B answer. McMahon likely becomes the backup 3B / 1B as Goldschmidt either retires or returns to the NL.
SS - Lombard (Volpe gets traded in the off-season)
LF - Bellinger
CF / RF - I believe Yankees will try to look for a long term CF answer, specifically a Right Handed Bat. I believe Spencer Jones will be traded either in the next week or in the off-season
Judge will begin his descent to full-time DH over the next couple of years.
I think they try to get Grisham at half the cost for a couple of seasons, and he'll be the 4th OFer.
Martian is probably gone too in the off-season if Grisham is the 4th OFer.
DH - Giancarlo gets his last year next year. I do think there's a small chance he's around for 2028. Has a $10mil buyout, and Marlins owe $10mil to Yankees. Yankees could essentially buy him out for free, and then see if he wants to come back for the minimum if he would like. A la Brett Gardner a few years ago. If Yankees cut him lose in 2028, no team is picking him up for more than a minimum deal. 2027 will be Judge at DH a few times a week. 2028 will be like 80% DH. 2029 will be full-time DH.
Off-season guess:
There will be a huge trade somewhere 3B, OF, SP. One of those 3.
Catchers:
1. Shea Langeliers (Have 2 seasons in Arbitration after this)
2. Hunter Goodman (Have 3 seasons in Arbitration after this)

As much as I love Stanton, I could see them just releasing him after the season.

They could. But with Miami paying $10mil next year, but he still counts as $25mil and 2028 being a free get away because Miami pay another $10mil and there being a $10mil buyout, they have an easier move.
I do think however, they will only pencil him in for 60 games next year and the playoffs. And fill all 3 positions in the OF, and have a 4th and 5th OFer to plan for it.
This year the plan was G is a huge part to our success. Next year he’ll be viewed like Ahmed Rosario.

Cam's emergence over the last few years is so damn vital to the club. Just unbelievable value and they have him cheap for 5 more years. Him and Miz have to be the 2 most valuable pieces in the game due to performance, age, and control.

I guess it’s Jeffers for me now. Goodman has more control, but the K rate kind of scares me, mixed with Coors.

Goodman is batting .236 at home and .288 away. More HRs on the road as well. Don’t think it’s the Coors effect with him.
