16 thoughts on “NJ.com: Yankees ‘encouraged’ by Juan Soto response in face-to-face meeting

  1. The Athletic meaningless match making column, I clicked, listed the Yankees as Soto’s most likely landing spot, Burnes to mutts, Rōki to townies and Walker to Yankees.

    1. I guess I gotta read that to see what moronic reasoning they used to get Roki to Boston.

      I think Walker is definitely the move if they sign Soto, as it shores up both the lineup and the defense in one fell swoop.

      Walker batting 4th changes the whole lineup for the better. Plug Wells or the Martian fifth, Stanton sixth, Wells or the Martian seventh, you suddenly have a long ass lineup.

    2. They mentioned opportunities for endorsements which I assume would be far fewer than in NY or the West Coast.

  2. Molly Knight @Bluesky I’m contractually obligated to tell you guys the Boston Red Sox added Jhoestynxon Garcia to their 40-man roster and his nickname is “The Password.”

    1. Awesome. That guy has to make the majors.
      Is “Joe Stinks” encoded into that name?

    1. Via karma, that pretty much guarantees that one of them will be 20 games back at that point.

  3. Guardians let James Karinchak go a little while ago to clear 40-man space (and to avoid paying him $1.9 million in arb) while he recovers from an injury. He still has an option year left. He sounds like a no-brainer for the Yankees to pick up.

  4. In other MVP News

    Kirschner: Tigers relief pitcher Tyler Holton gets to have MVP-16 on his Baseball Reference page for the rest of his life. He received one 10th-place vote.

    What’s funny is the voter did not have Skubal on his ballot lol.
