Shouts to @tremonthustler1 for the title, but it is always subject to change.

The Boys from The Bronx are byke once again after a relatively successful season that began with sky high expectations-100 wins. WC victory, emerging youngins. But ended in disappointment with Boston clinching the division at The Stadium, thrashing us in 4 in the divisional round, once again spraying champagne in the Bronx, and ultimately another championship smh.

After having the luxury tax reset, and needs to be addressed, a huge offseason was on the horizon, as promised by Hal. What resulted was solid, but not earth-shattering moves. Depending on who asked, this winter was either A)great, B)efficient, C)Low-key, or D)cheap, and the last option was the one that was heard the loudest.

Questions: Is this rotation a title-worthy one? How will Didi fare coming back from TJS? The progression of Gleyber Day and Miggy, especially the latter defensively. Is it Luke Voit, or was it Fluke Voit? Will Humpty Dumpty Birdy last til opening day? Will Sevy avoid another 2nd-half meltdown? Does the concussion bug follow Clint Frazier? Does Jeter's illegitimate son Tulo escape out the Larry Holmes Resort? Does Paxton elevate to a frontline starter?

I have to separate these questions: Does ComPiler Stanton stop choking and take the pressure off Judge? And does Puppet Man elevate himself from glorified intern to somewhat competent? don't hold your breath.

And with that, welcome to the Yankees thread:mjlit:

Stanton really needs to make an effort to not be the strikeout king. Watching him swing at obvious balls was just :scust:. I hope Miggy upped his defense because him getting subbed out for defense was probably another reason why we lost in the postseason. All in all I like the squad we have and we better not be a wildcard again this season.

It’s a terrible habit he’s always had and after seeing it burn them in game 4 at the end, I really hope they made the top priority with him working on not swinging at pitches away. We can’t have both our top sluggers with the same bad habit :martin:

Expectations are going to be unbearably high for the next 4 seasons.

The farm system has been loaded up on the lower levels with high risk/high reward players the past two seasons in preparation for this run.

Depth wise on the major league level/AAA level it's the deepest team they have put together maybe since 2001-2003.

Hopefully the manager does better in year 2 & Cashman doesn't make any trades during the dead line that will come back and bite them in the future IF they fail to win a championship this season.
