For today we’ll ignore that the Yankees made arguably the best winter trade and also the best deadline deal and offer our suggestions for how they get back to the World Series.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.to Red Sox star Rafael Devers, but we do know it was not a move befitting three very smart people — Aaron Boone , Gerrit Cole and Matt Blake .
Anyway, I’d argue Chisholm is faster and a better baserunner, and thus a better fit for leadoff. He certainly shouldn’t ever be batting behind Giancarlo Stanton, a pure power guy who must run at three-quarter speed to avoid injury.Even more to the point, Chisholm deserves more at-bats. He has an .889 OPS as a Yankee, nearly two hundred points higher than 2024 Torres .
The Yankees’ best chance to win is if their best player is at his best. I get their interest in winning the AL East to avoid the wild card round, but they do have a three-game lead now, and other options.The Yankees have three other decent center fielders on their roster, so the defensive drop-off is negligible when Judge is the DH. There is obviously a lineup deficit when Stanton has to be on the bench. But having Judge at his most-rested best for October has to be the priority.
