It’s the best chance they’ve had offensively since 2019.
That lineup has the chance to fully optimize with one simple phone call to promote Jasson Dominguez.
Instead this was the news we got.
Now no offense to Duke Ellis, but what the fuck is a Duke Ellis?
That’d be the biggest slap in the face the organization could conjure up.
Brutal prospect manipulation, but it’s part of the game.
Well, apparently that’s not even the case because of his time on the IL.
Its basic human psychology and clubhouse management.
Picture this sequence of events:
– The Yankees recall Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton today.
– Dominguez does not produce this week or next.
– The team, having already rejected and diminished Verdugo, enters the postseason without a confident left fielder.
First of all, could you imaging worrying about Alex Verdugo’s confidence?
The left fielder is hitting .235/.293/.360 with an 83 OPS+.
He’s a below average player and has been that way for months.
One of the more ridiculous things I’ve ever seen from a reporter.
Keep in mind this is happening during Juan Soto’s walk year.
This is also a prime year for Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole.
You only have so many of those remaining.
You MUST maximize everything it’s possible for you to this season.
The same prospect you’ve rightfully withheld from any and all trades.
He’s fully capable of being a consistent impact player at this level.
It’s a fucking joke.
Promote The Martian yesterday and go for this thing.
Stop this nonsense right now.
