Mullins would have had that ball McKenna missed. 
 

Also I’m perfect okay with saying bye bye to McKenna. Still haven’t forgiven him for dropping that fly ball.

According to the Yankees radio, no he was not there. They made it sound like he went to Baltimore early.    Whatever it is, I hope everything is okay with him and his family. Some things are

First of all, someone downvoting you for this post is the height of stupidity. Secondly, I doubt that Mullins catches that ball.

They could have paid the slightest bit of attention and known that Mullins was not available before posting a rant.

I could see someone thinking that was downvote worthy.

I wouldn’t call that post a rant.

I couldn’t find anything to suggest he was injured, only that he was being given a rest day, which is fine, but one half inning in the outfield isn’t going to kill him. 

I still think he gets to that ball, but whatever. At least we won.

He wasn't even with the team.

Hyde gave Mullins the day off to attend to a personal matter, Hyde hoped it would only be 1 day. We have no other information

This wasn't hard for me to find.

I’m sorry I don’t have time to go searching through every thread on here to find something like that. Not everyone spends their entire life on this board like you do. 
 

It didn’t spell out the fact he wasn’t even with the team in that article. Obviously that being the case is answers my question.

The question part was pointless but not a rant.

Suddenly talking about releasing McKenna was the rant part.

If he's unavailable what difference does it make if he was with the team or not?  Hyde going to suddenly force him into the game after declaring him unavailable?  What kind of manager would do that?

      How would you feel if the offseason was Eovaldi, Diaz, and Hays?

      Need to do more. need a bullpen arm and another stater, and hell no to Hays  This tells me Elias is also cheap and it wasnt just Angelos if he truly says Rubenstein has his full suppot

      Add Buehler, replace Hays with Grichuk, and make some creative bullpen moves (doesn’t need to be a multi-year deal) and I would be satisfied.

      Diaz yes. Eovaldi only if 2 years. Hays? why not? still would like see more.

      I won’t be too upset if they don’t get Burnes, Fried, or Crochet, but they should also sign a second tier 2 pitcher (injuries will happen) and I’d prefer a different RH OF than Hays.

      What are the things that we know about Elias?  He’s risk adverse and a straight shooter. He told us what he was targeting. We’re linked/rumored to all 3 of these players. They fit our needs with a slight increase to last year’s budget. Therefore, when Rubenstein keeps his word.  Eovaldi - at the predicted 2/44 is affordable. We’ve did the 1/13 deal with Kimbrel last year. 13 to 22 million is a bump, but that’s the bump Rubenstein is willing to pay. We have the SP depth over 162 to load manage Eovaldi. We can back off him as need be. He’s got AL East, and playoff experience.  Hays - 1/5ish. Hays accepts that he’s a 4th OF as his baseline role, but with it being a 162 game season, injuries, wall changes, he will be a de facto starter.  Diaz - 1/5ish, Venezuelan ties with our new bench coach and Basallo.  It’s easier to move on from him mid season at any point if we wanted for Basallo than it would be to move on from McCann. Diaz is a better hitter as well.  I see these moves as the “hedge” play for Elias, and it’s enough to get us to the deadline, and allows us to see where we’re at without blowing any future budget, or selling too many prospect assets. Don’t undersell that this allows Rubenstein to keep his word. The budget will be up 10-20% from last year. That will be the PR talking point and also that we gave out the biggest SP deal in franchise history AAV.

      Morosi: Os showing interest in Eovaldi

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think Eovaldi is our best shot at landing a TOR FA SP. MLBTR has him predicted at 2/44. That’s a hedge play for Elias. The $22 million is above the standard $13 million he has had in the past to offer to a pitcher FA on a one year deal. So he adds in the extra year. So that puts it at 2/26. Consider inflation from 2023 to 2025, and that we’re contending. So added value. So where does Elias get that $9 million from each year or $18 million total? Webb, DC, and the difference between Santa and Kjerstad. If needed he could move O’Hearn and get there.  It’s the most realistic FA option. I think he gets there. No draft pick loss either. We have enough SP depth for the regular season to “baby” Eovaldi to keep him healthy all regular season and for the postseason.  Makes a ton of sense.

      Garrett Crochet - Let's Get Serious

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Let’s say the FA dominos fall like, Yankees - Soto or Bregman Jays - Santander Red Sox - Burnes Baltimore - for whatever reason($$$) we miss on Fried, Sasaki, Eovaldi, and Pivetta.  Does that put extra pressure on Elias to go the trade route for a TOR SP, as his only means to acquire one, and with the rest of the division adding significantly? The hedge play would be to go with a smaller trade, a salary dump type deal for Montgomery/Ray, or to sign a FA on his typical 1/13 esque deal.  I have confidence that we’d be in the playoff hunt at the deadline with a rotation of Grayson, Eflin, Kremer, Suarez, Povich/Rogers. It’s risky though. I could see a Gibson or another short term guy like Quintana added. Then at the deadline we’d have a clearer picture on Bradish and maybe even Means(if he’s back).  Only then would Elias consider a desperation trade for a SP. I know nobody wants to hear this. I want Burnes too. Heck, give me Bregman too while we’re at it.
