Top 10 | Yankees Mid-Season Takeaways

Aaron Judge is on course for an overwhelming MVP award 🏆.

I loved the nuanced take on Volpe. In just one year, he went from below to above-average. Now to see if he can make that transformation to an elite-level lead-off hitter in years to come... I was literally shocked by Clarke Schmidt. Given the changes made, it seems like it may be that he is relatively egoless and just did what the coaches asked to tweak things. Amazing in this stubborn era.. lol Gleyber does this thing where he rests the bat on his shoulder, and it feels like it slows his reaction time. Did he always do that?

I don't think the Yankees are taking the decline of DJ seriously enough. This is not a "check the back of the baseball card" situation, because he has been in a steady decline over the last 4 years. This year though is another level, its nearly impossible to play in 21 games and not have an xtra base hit. He cannot drive the ball, everything is on the ground.

Great breakdown Always start my day with your videos . It’s good time

Gleyber needs to go regardless if he turns it around.

Shame DJ never recovered since he had the toe injury and Rizzo may be done after getting hip checked both times the latter leaving him with an arm fracture. Gleyber is non-factor now that has also affected his fielding as well. Time to move him while he still has some value left. Stanton is just a muscle stiff who can mash with the best of them but gets injured easily and is useless everywhere else. Judge is having an historical season and wish him best to win another MVP. I like Ben Rice and they should try their best to give him lots of playing time.

I think it's tough to fairly judge Austin Wells so far this season. He plays in typically what...2 games a week? I'd like to see him get every day at bats this season to fully weigh in

Looking back, DJ’s agent asked for 4 seasons @ $25 M AAV = $100 M total. Due to being almost up to the luxury tax cap, Cashman countered with 6 seasons @ $15 M AAV = $90 M total. This is Season 4 for DJ and he isn’t likely to come back for a 5th season due to his foot issues. DJ will have been paid 4 seasons @ $15 M = $60 M while the Yankees still owe him $30 M.

W e know a 4-6 week off for Stanton, will also have a 2-3 week period of utter futility at bat, when he does return………history

Another big question is that will Clay Holmes can really be reliable when the game is on the line. Can he close the high leverage game?

Is it time to say DJ Lemahieu is both a 2019 juiced ball AND 2020 short season merchant?

Time to replace DJ, Torres, and Rizzo

Yanks have some moves to make in the deadline ‼️💯 .. lets get this championship already

I was a big fan of Gleyber Torres at one time. Now, I think that there may be something organically wrong with him.

For awhile these guys had me thinking they look like the ‘98 team. But falling apart against the Dodgers, O’s, Atlanta is something the ‘98 team waited until September to do. (Thankfully Shane Spencer hit a bunch of grand slams that year to save us) Also that team did not have the Gleyber/Rizzo/LeMehieu problem. Not looking too good, when we cannot consistently beat good teams.

I am sure dj is done I hope im wrong but it's not looking good for dj. Go Yankees 🗽🗽🗽.

Can you please make a video detailing the moves the Yankees can make to fix current roster holes ie. replacing rizzo Torres lemahieu and bullpen/closer

Washed= rizzo, DJ, gleyber

Rizzo, DJ, Torres & Wells have to go for pitchers or a 300 hitter

9:49 I kinda miss that outro.
