Poor sentence structure on my part. I was referring to 3B with those 2 while Parades moves to 1b. Or Paredes is pretty much your everyday 3B and the platoon of Dizenzo/Dubon/Singleton/Caratini/Diaz is your 1B.

And we could still roll with the catcher duo at 1B.
No worries….poor comprehension on mine.
I think they will try and keep Matthews at SS as long as they possibly can.
Wholeheartedly agree on this with Pena approaching arb years.

We either get a first baseman and CF or its hello fourth place.

Has anyone mentioned Teoscar?
I think a reunion of 3/75 would get it done….bring this guy home.
I remember being excited watching him come up through the minors and was disappointed when we traded him.
I think he is only 31-32 years old….with the Crawford boxes he is gonna get you 30+ HR’s and hopefully close to 100 RBI’s.
It would turn either Jake or Chas into the 4th OF.
I would love to see an OF of Teoscar,Chas and Melton.

I was thinking about Teoscar as well.
The good.
Hits for power.
.840 ops
33 hr
Wants a 3 yr deal (better then Santander wanting 5 yrs)
The bad.
Struck out 188 times in 589 AB last yr (32%).
The yr before 211 times in 625 AB (nearly 34%)
Rejected a qualifying offer so they would lose their 2nd + 5th rd picks plus a million in International bonus money

Great job listing the pros and cons……seems like MLB is getting a little too greedy with the loss of picks to the signing team.
Players union needs to do better on this….i mean most teams give the qualifying offer knowing they have no shot to sign the guy.
Seems a bit unfair to the player….thats just me.
How is he (Hernandez) defensively?
If we did this would we gain any of these back if we don’t sign Bregman
Since we were over the luxury tax, I believe we would get a 4th rd pick if we lost Bregman. Not positive on this.
So the draft pick cost of signing Bregman would be the same as the cost of signing Teoscar?

He’s not Carlos Lee bad, but he would be our weakest outfielder by a wide margin. Still, I think you could put him in LF and not suffer terribly for it, at least for home games.
He has good speed but a below-average arm, and he doesn’t consistently get good reads.
It would depend on which team signs either of these players. If it’s a team who wasn’t over the luxury tax signing either player they wouldn’t be losing 2nd + 5th rd picks plus International bonus money. Only teams over the luxury tax would have to take that hit.
Ah, gotcha.
Bellinger to the Jankees for those interested.
I saw that. I don’t know what to make of it. The Yankees are not the Yankees of yore. Letting Soto go and getting Bellinger is an elevated Astros move.
It might be the right move economically but you are the freaking Yankees. You define overpaying not responding to overpaying.
From what I read, didn’t NY make Soto a pretty significant offer…like 700k+ but 1 more year. Sometimes for outside reasons the player rather be in another Clubhouse. Imo it’s that Soto didn’t want to play under the A. Judge is first here situation.
