Why did Yankees target Bellinger initially? He’s a solid defensive weapon. His bat has been okay the last two seasons
They want lefties for the short porch. Bellinger fitted that criteria.
Gallo was a flop. Couldn't handle the spotlight. Aaron Hicks was always injured.
And that was the only error of the whole season for Judge. He catches that 999 times out of 1,000.
The player I would love to get is Ketel Marte switch hitter and on base machine.
Perfect lead off hitter
Then Jazz 2 hole. Judge 3. Soto 4 Big G 5, Wells 6, Volpe 7 Martian 8 Rizzo (or whatever first base) 9.
The only picher is Cole - the rest need to go.
imo they never should have got Rodon or Montas (two pitchers in pitcher friendly ball parks) - they should have gone for Castillo instead when he was at the Reds. So I would overhaul the starting pitching. Cortes and Stroman can go to the bullpen. I would trade Rodon if possible.
