Hate to keep harping on it but bad defense is going to lose you game after game. Frustrating watching them march out Duran and franchy neither can field their positions. If this was belichick franchy would be cut. It’s not the athleticism it’s the decision making. Stupid plays. Why do they let franchy keep playing. Bloom should buy at least a first baseman because he screwed up not getting one this year. Dalbec is their 1B. Yolmer plays a solid 3B

The correct answer this off-season, overpaying for Starling Marte, guy’s legit Hey! Someone finally read my posts from last off-season!
Unfortunately, he's under contract for the next three years. His defense has also fallen off the table at age 33...

Have been wondering all year why they did not add Fitzgerald to the 40 roster and give him a chance over franchy and many of these other players. He reminds me if holt or Dave Stapleton plays multiple positions And fundamentally sound.

Probably too late for that. Everyone and their dog can see he can't get lefties out.

At least the Yankees lost. And, they traded for Benny.

The fact that they have Sanchez up and not him is pretty damning of how they view him

He had a nice spring training and carried that into the season but unfortunately the wheels fell off around June 1st.
He's hitting around .150 and OPSing about .500 since then.

Dalbec is a horrible fielder but does not make the same stupid plays as does franchy.

Joel Sherman is reporting the names of the three prospects going to the Royals. According to MLB PL, the top two were ranked 19 and 21 in the MFY system. The third one was outside the top 30. If the MFYs play Toronto in the PS, it'll be interesting to see whether Beni pulls a Kyrie or makes himself available for all the games for the team that is paying him at a rate of $8.5M/year. Fast work by Fangraphs to already have the last two months worth of Beni's salary posted on the MFY page. That's a professional operation.

Houck is good but needs better pitch selection. Should have gone with hard stuff against that hitter

Yankees have made some great moves this year. Getting Donaldson and carpenter paid big returns. Wish we could of been in on carpenter but bloom likes going after AAAA players.

If that was the price for benitendi I’ll be curious what it takes to get bell. Can’t be much more.

Carpenter was viewed as a AAAA player before he signed with the Yanks and somehow turned into a version of himself we have not seen in years (if ever), so I don’t think that’s a fair take.

Disappointed in the return for KC which means we'll probably be disappointed in the return for Boston players. Great. I figured the season Benny was having would be worth a 10th ranked prospect, no?

Yes, then you are heading for disappointment. Benny is a rental with little power. This seems about like what he’d yield. But if it makes you feel better, his value appears to be higher than it was two years ago.

Let's at least wait for a trade rumor before being disappointed in the return.

Except carpenter has a established track record in the major leagues. The Yankees obviously scouted him and saw his previous potential.

Can't see why Bloom would want to invest in this team at this point. Amazing how they can go from 43-32 to 49-50. It’s these types of games that make me lose my mind that he didn’t invest more in this team. The bullpen is built with scotch tape and he’s putting a mediocre corner outfielder at 1B. Yes, he should have invested in relief help and a RF this past offseason. I'll give him a pass for 1b given that Dalbec was reasonably productive and Casas was on the horizon. If course he could have re-signed Schwarber to butcher 1b like Franchy but hit well enough to slide into the DH role. But none of that matters now. This team is not a playoff caliber team and not worth investing in. It's just not their year. Clearly.

Seems like the Royals chose quantity over quality here. If they only took one guy then it prob was somebody around 10

The Yankees did well in the trade. They dont need Benintendi to hit for power. They just need him to get on base in front of their power hitters. The Yankees aren't short of power hitters so getting an OBP guy should help them. Certainly beats playing Gallo. And they didnt give up much to get him.
The Royals got the rental price so you wouldnt expect much.
The Sox gave up 2 years of service so you'd expect more and they did get 5 players.
Unfortunately Franchy is replacement level caliber, Winckowski is fringy, 2 of their prospects will never play major league ball and the other prospect has questionable stuff, although he cannot be written off at this point.
Benintendi is hardly a franchise player but he was worth more than they got. I dont care to hear about Benintendi's 2020 season...he got all of 39 ABs, so I dont take that seriously. They sold low on him and it shows.

Don’t want to be mean but interested in a player and landing them are two different things. I’m sure his is interested in Soto but not landing him. I think this year is a failure of bloom. His roster construction did not include enough established players. I think the shine on bloom is fading fast.

Red Sox were interested in picking up Carpenter before he went to the Yankees. Heyman reported it in mid June Carpenter had not had an OPS+ over 100 since 2018. Yes, both the Sox and Yanks were interested in seeing if they could catch lightning in a bottle, but I don’t think anyone expected what he’s doing right now in NYC. My point is that you can’t knock Bloom for going after AAAA players and not Carpenter when a) it sounds like he did go after him and b) Carpenter was playing like a AAAA player himself.
