Aaron Judge was supposed to be in the lineup on Saturday, but did not play. He hasn’t played since last Sunday and the Yankees don’t seem to be giving any firm updates. With the season starting next week, this bears watching. “Judge (abdomen) participated in outfield drills but didn't take on-field batting practice as scheduled Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The initial schedule Yankees manager Aaron Boone offered last week would have had Judge playing Monday in his second Grapefruit League game back from a core-muscle injury. Instead, Judge hasn't played in any games since suffering the injury, and his hitting work has been relatively limited. Judge doesn't seem to have suffered a setback in his recovery from the injury, but rather, the Yankees have decided to proceed more cautiously with the star slugger. Still, some concern about Judge's availability for Opening Day will linger until he returns to action and looks healthy.” Reminder: this guy is supposed to the full-time CF this season…

I think in deference to Judge's health they really ought to be considering moving him back to RF even if that means trading Verdugo for very little. Is that possible? It would take a strong GM to say I thought it made sense to get him early in the winter, but as things worked out we no longer needed him. The fact that there are reports about Verdugo missing meetings and showing up late means it's not a 0% chance imo. I think I'd rather have Soto-Grisham-Judge than Soto-Judge-Verdugo.

I think I'd rather have Soto-Grisham-Judge than Soto-Judge-Verdugo. Even if the latter is a little better in a vacuum, the bump from Grisham to Verdugo isn't worth the increased injury risk to Judge. In fact, if they think Verdugo is that much better a fit for the lineup then they really should just be playing him in center. Just crazy to me. Especially since Judge is a much better right fielder than Verdugo. That's an important position in its own right!

Jhoan Duran has an oblique strain and will start the season on the DL. Maybe Kenley is quiet holding out for a move to Minnesota!

Velocity being down a week before opening day, not a good sign for Rodon and the Yankees. Too bad, so sad.. He can probably get it back a little bit but even if he does, it does not bode well for years 3-6 of that deal.

Bauer announced that he'll pitch Sunday against the Yankees for Mexican team. I'm curious if he'll even be scouted.

Between Snell, Soler, and Chapman, the Giants improved their team and finally spent the money burning a hole in their pocket. Ray was another big name they added.
Meanwhile Montgomery is the last big name still standing - without a team.

What's the Montgomery version of that? Maybe 2 years, $50 million, with an opt out? If so, should the Sox do it, given the current state of the roster? What say y'all?

If Montgomery’s market collapses and if he becomes open to a contract that the Sox would see as ideal, then the team might reassess its budget and even reconsider its stance on staying under the threshold.” 🤔 www.bostonglobe.com/2024/03/10/sports/red-sox-brayan-bello-homegrown-contract/?p1=StaffPage

I'd rather it be a longer deal at that AAV without opt outs, but sure I'd do it. After year one if he opts out Sox can QO him and get a pick at least. Sox could also try to extend him after year one. He would make rotation deeper and stronger and improve their chances for a playoff shot. No downside.

Jackson Chourio made the Brewers
youngest player in the majors I think. A few months younger than Jackson Holliday

Wait, so did the Giants just sacrifice their 2nd and 3rd round picks in this year’s draft for likely a year of both Snell and Matt Chapman? (Both had QO’s.) Farhan Zaidi (who signed an extension late last year) has been CBO since November 2018… The NL West: the domain of YOLO GM’s!

It's weird. On the one hand, it's quite a coup to come away with that much talent without having to commit to any long-term dead money. On the other hand, after all these moves they're still gonna project to like 84 wins and a very slim shot at winning their division.

In the case of Monty, I remember trying to research a few weeks ago what happens if a player signs with a team after the beginning for the season - are they still eligible for a Qualifying Offer? Someone from Cubs Twitter went through the effort to look into the CBA about qualifying offers, and the actual agreement specifies ( on page 103): I am not a lawyer - but it seems as though Jordan Montgomery will wait the next 9-10 days for a long term deal, and if he doesn’t get it he can take a pillow contract on March 29th or beyond and enter free agency next year with a QO unattached to him? What a bizarre loophole.

Crazy that he didn’t end up getting anything close to what Rodon got last year. That would have seemed to be a lay-up when the offseason began.

I would have loved it in November-February, but not now. He’s missed the whole training camp, hasn’t worked with his catchers and is way behind in his game progression. I don’t see the need to pay a premium for an incomplete asset at this point. The last time the Sox made a big splash in late-March it was for Trevor Story, and that was a disaster. I’m not saying this would be the same thing, but it’s definitely giving me the same vibes. Pass.

Do you mean the Korean CF they signed?
