Not the Yankees offense. 29 straight innings with no runs! Can’t even make that up. 3 straight games with a few extra innings in which they got a guy starting on 2nd base! I wish I could start on 2nd base! Ayo.
Anyways, this offense has been non existent and there are no signs of things to change due to horrendous approaches in each at bat. Luckily, that is an overreaction and they should start scoring runs soon enough based on science. Regardless, here are 5 players I would like the Yankees to possible target at or before the deadline (hopefully sooner rather than later for my sanity alone):
5 -Eugenio Suarez, 3rd base – DBacks. I’m not huge on him, because he is pretty much what the Yankees are. Power and no average. But he brings a lot of homers, and you can plug Jazz back at 2nd and send DJ Lemahiue to the sun. So that alone, brings a lot of interest.
4- Gregory Soto, LHP – Baltimore O’s. No denying it, the O’s blow. There season is over unless the world gets nuked prior. Soto, has been one of a few bright spots for the Orioles, even though he has a 0-2 record. 1.19 whip, and the guy throws high 90s gas from the left side. What’s not to love?
3- Gavin Lux, LF – Cincy Reds. Reds also not having a great year, so I would image they would be open for business. Lux has a .370 on base percentage, but I would only acquire him to put him back at 2nd base or make him a super utility role type player. In. A perfect world he is a 2nd basemen even if he Defense isn’t great. He gets on base, something their current 2nd basemen doesn’t.
2- Mason Miller, RHP – Oakland, oh sorry Sacramento…. Oakland A’s. This team is a clown show ever since going to Sacramento, and playing in a minor league park which they will do for a few more years to come. Not even sure if they are fully locked into a stadium in Vegas but that is a story for another day on how poverty they are. Yankees need a flame thrower, and mine as well whip their nuts out and get one of the best ones. Oakland is going nowhere. I don’t get paid even to tell you what the return will be so I will let the nerd Cashman figure it out. Bring him home. What a bullpen to close games out. Williams, Weaver, Miller. Plus, Williams probably gone as a free agent after year anyways guy has small nuts not made for NYC.
1- My number one and a total long shot, as the Cardinals are playing good ball, is Brendan Donovan, 2nd base. Guy rakes, batting .323 on the year and plays elite defense. Both things, DJ Lemahiue can only dream about doing. DJLM actually gives me nightmares watching him play. I would rather have to serve a life sentence than watch him play 2nd base for the Yankees the rest of the way. I hope the Cardinals lose out until the deadline and Donovan becomes available (I have no idea his contract, but know the Yankees were interested in winter).
