He has an honorary spot on my team forever just from slugging Bautista in the face.

Odor is not good.  Anything that adds a not good player to the Yankees and costs them another player dropped from their 40 man roster and 2 minor league prospects is good.  I'm shocked that the Ranger

No, you're trying to bully yourself out of a situation for no reason whatsoever, because this is what you do and have been able to get away with for far too long.  And you deserve everyone here to tre

Yankees are getting Odor thus insuring he becomes a good player again.

Where are they gonna put him?  I guess as a backup INF he's alright but they've got LeMahieu at 2nd, Gleyber at SS.  Urshela at 3rd.  Odor doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless he's a backup infielder which, at this point in his career, he just might be.

My guess is they move him all around.  I think they just see an opportunity at grabbing a young guy who has shown promise and they are basically getting him for free...so, why not take a shot?

I agree, he stands to be a good pickup for them.  Will be interesting to see what they do with him.

DJ to 1B when Odor plays 2B maybe...

From a MLBTradeRumors.com chat today:

Rio Ruiz

Am I really a better option then Roughned Odor at 2nd base?
 
Steve Adams

I think so

Thairo Estrada??

Thought this myself. Ultimately, his poor minor league OBP has me kind of meh on him. But he's a young SS/2B and we seem to need all of those we can get. I don't know if Elias would DFA someone to claim him though.

It is actually saving the Yankees money to have Odor on the roster over a player making the minimum because the Rangers are paying more than his CBT value. Any other player would at least cost the $560K-ish minimum.

While it saves them some luxury tax space, it doesn't save them actual cash.  And it still puts a bad player on their 26 man roster.  I didn't want Odor because I don't think he's very good.  Glad to have him on NY's bench.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By waroriole · Posted

      I can see them pursuing him and I wouldn’t be against it. But anyone who thinks he’s signing for 4/120, or that there’s a big FA SP class, needs a better editor.

      Roch is an idiot. Criticizing the fanbase at a time like now is ridiculous. 1 run in 2 games? Cmon man.    Also, nobody asks for that stupid emcee to get the crowd excited, that’s strictly for tv purposes.

      I was there and there was nothing to get remotely excited about except for 5 minutes in the 5th inning. Stupid swings at the plate, lack of hitting in RISP. Cleveland scored more run before they recorded an out today than we did in 2 full games at home. Let that sink in. Our team is full of chokers that don’t handle pressure well or rise to the occasion.

      This really only works if you're looking at 2 years of data.  Look at 4 years of data and suddenly Burnes looks like a vastly better bet.  Burnes has had an era under 3 for 3 out of the last 4 seasons plus the covid year.  Musgrove only 1 prior to signing the deal.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I survived the decade plus losing years, I’m fairly hard to disappoint at this age. That said, I think they can change some things up in spring training - small ball stuff isn’t hard to add to the arsenal. I think they O’s may add a FA or two or resign one or two of our own guys in the winter. I don’t think we will ever throw money around like the Yanks or Dodgers, but I do believe ownership will invest more than the previous crew. All I was saying is I hope Elias starts to tackle some of the changes he talked about to push the rebuild to the next level. I do agree I’ll not be able to evaluate any potential changes until this time next year.

Maybe the fans just matched the team’s energy level the last 3 months? They were lifeless and witnessed what happened in the WC all too often from July-September. They went 1-13 with RISP, had 2 real XBH’s, and 1 run in 18 innings. The Guardians scored 2 runs 4 batters into their series. The team gave the fans little to cheer for from July on - the attendance and energy level just reflected that and the general discontent that this year’s team brought, even though there’s no shame in a 91 win season.
