@T_Hates_Tweets @shegone03 Yes, I believe that. But you don’t have to be Einstein to know that no team was going to pay him 20M a year based on his career track record. Cashman in his greed to get an extra draft pick completely misread the market and is paying over 20M to a player who had 1 decent year!!

@RTS103 @shegone03 You really think.... that his agent isn't talking to other teams to gauge what he can get on the open market?

But he’s got potential right??? #shegone

@T_Hates_Tweets @shegone03 No team can make an offer until he turns down the QO which makes him a free agent. Cashman was looking for the draft pick and got hosed!

@RTS103 @shegone03 Meaning the qualifying offer, his agent is going to be doing due diligence to see what else is out there. He took it meaning nobody else expressed high interest. Cashman can't have been surprised

@T_Hates_Tweets @shegone03 What’s to match? He either takes the QO or he doesn’t. No other team can make an offer if and until he turns it down. Cashman didnt think he would take it and wanted the draft pick.

@RTS103 @shegone03 Eh. He couldn't have been that surprised nobody matched it. Either a draft pick or a guy on a one year deal - they have all the money in the world to spend and its nothing that costs moving forward. Hell even they DFA him, its only a one year sunk cost

@T_Hates_Tweets @shegone03 Cashman gave him the Qualifying Offer to steal a draft pick. Didn’t think he would take it. But Cashman got taken to the cleaners!!

@shegone03 I think they gave him a one year "run it back" deal so... I still don't hate it.

@ddem212 @YankeeLibrarian In the context of the Yankees lineup. They lead in everything. Volpe will only make the lineup worse. Are you his uncle or something?? One of the worst offensive players in the league the last 3 years and you’re going to the mat trying to defend the indefensible!!

@RTS103 @YankeeLibrarian Who cares about extra base hits? Are you serious?

The Yankees are giving Jose Caballero every opportunity to succeed and fail. Well deserved, too. Those underlying metrics show a player who probably won’t be an above-average hitter by the time the season is done. Still, for now, he has hit well enough to keep his job, and more importantly, he has played an awesome shortstop. Crabby might end up having the same season Volpe did in 2024, but that’s just the position he put them in by not playing well. I like Volpe and hope he succeeds, but you gotta love the urgency here. Plus, some competition can be good for Volpe in the end. WWE was stinking it up in the early 90s outside of Bret and HBK, and the best thing that happened was WCW getting hot. Am I saying Volpe is Stone Cold? Maybe.

@ddem212 @YankeeLibrarian Who cares about x-base hits. The Yanks lead the league in just about every offensive category with cabby as the SS. Volpe stinks!! Never had a season with even a .300 OBP or an OPS above .666. Absolutely putrid numbers. One of the worst offensive players in MLB!!

@RTS103 @YankeeLibrarian My offer stands. If caballero gets as many extra base hits as volpe did last season I'll donate $500 to whoever joe randazo is charity

@ddem212 @YankeeLibrarian lol! Try again. Its .711. Volpe never had a season of .700. Volpe stinks!!

@RTS103 @YankeeLibrarian I did OPS caballero as hot as he is has an ops under .700

@NickMontalbano1 @CMacWFAN If Rice goes on IL, Jones will come up.

@CMacWFAN And if Rice goes on IL he will be right back up with the team

Right for team Right for him. You don’t mess with this team right now. Caballero has earned the starting SS job. And this would have been setting Volpe up for failure. Yanks operating with a different attitude so far this year.

@ddem212 @YankeeLibrarian Can we do OPS also? Or OBP? The Yanks don’t need their SS to hit 20 HRs.

@YankeeLibrarian If caballero matches volpe counting stats from last season I'll donate $500 to charity of your choice

@ddem212 @YankeeLibrarian OPS has been in the 600s every year in the league. He is not a good hitter. He’s far from even an average hitter. He should never be the starting SS for the Yanks ever again!!

@YankeeLibrarian Volpe won a gold glove, then was a finalist his second season. I don't understand how "media" people just gloss over this. And he was 20/20 last season with 35 doubles with a torn labrum.

@adam_tobey88 @CTWesleyan @JonFromMaspeth Why do keep saying “4th outfielder?” He’s the starting CF.

@CTWesleyan @JonFromMaspeth Not for 22 mill to be the 4th outfielder. The fact that you’re defending this is outrageous and delusional but then again it’s not your money.

The Mets $375 million team is rolling out an OF tonight of: Andy Ibanez, Tyrone Taylor, and Austin Slater.

@JRR6215 @EricLDaugh “He was a great as anybody”???? You’re joking, right?

@EricLDaugh He was as great as anybody ever has been as a player no question but despicable otherwise and you can’t just ignore that!

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST CALLED IT OUT: "I think Pete Rose should have been in the Baseball Hall of Fame a long time ago — a long time ago, before his death!" "I think baseball did a great disservice by not respecting his achievements on the field. He was a GREAT player. I knew him well. He was a great player." @RapidResponse47

@keyman_2112 @sudarshanhebba9 @nut_history Hate to butt in but 0.69 is exactly the same as .690!

@sudarshanhebba9 @nut_history 0.69≠.690 148>135

You’re a GM of a World Series contending team. Who would you rather for your upcoming season at third base: Mike Schmidt Brooks Robinson George Brett

@DanielK80502174 @shegone03 To answer your question, the game!!

@shegone03 I mean, I understand the stats, but we’re just now going into May, and he’s really got nowhere to go but up. All management just got fired a few days ago, and we’re STILL doing this? What do you really have to lose by leaving him in there?

DON’T EVER ACT LIKE THIS KIDS!!! When the manager or coach comes out to get the ball it’s not because he wants to it’s because he feels he has to. I’m all for players wanting to compete and he had his opportunity and didn’t execute! When these are your numbers you don’t really have an argument right? 2026 Regular Season G 6 W-L 1-4 ERA 9.12 IP 25.2 SO 17 WHIP 2.26 #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting @hittingguru7 @slider_sinker @SliderDom @low_and_outside @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @VandyonTigers @mikepiazza31 @SalMarinello @RVGDag @AMBS_Kernan

@TomMonetti @Chris_NYY28 You’re a complete embarrassment!!

@Chris_NYY28 It's April. Judge is only hitting .260.

Trent Grisham has settled back into what he is as a player: A .200 hitter who has some power. Not a guy you want leading off a team trying to win a championship.

@arusso1471 @BrandonTierney Put down the crack pipe!!

@BrandonTierney This might sound crazy but Jazz played CF in 2023 & 2024. We know Volpe is playing when he comes back. Jazz to CF and Caballero to 2nd is the move.

69/89 of Grisham's AB's have been from leadoff slot. He's hitting .130 with a .529 OPS there. Lots to like about the Yanks--but this MUST change. Drives me absolutely NUTS!!! Enough!

@mikedorb1 @NotoriousdoeL @BrandonTierney Because Cashman didn’t think he would take it and Cashman wanted the draft pick he would have gotten if Grisham turned it down. Cashman is a clown!!

@NotoriousdoeL @BrandonTierney I will never figure out why the Yankees gave him the qualifying offer. It made absolutely no sense.

@The_Gildz @Stuffhappenwhen @Reds03 @NotTheeWillHill You can keep saying it doesn’t but that does make your statement true. Explain how the glove bends itself, defying the laws of physics!!

@RTS103 @Stuffhappenwhen @Reds03 @NotTheeWillHill It does not. Thanks for your time.

In what world is this a double ? I know probably nobody cares but it’s completely ridiculous and calls into question the credibility when this is a ruled a hit

@The_Gildz @Stuffhappenwhen @Reds03 @NotTheeWillHill The video clearly shows it hitting the glove!! Stop being imbecilic!!

@Stuffhappenwhen @RTS103 @Reds03 @NotTheeWillHill Yet there’s no definitive angle showing it hit the glove 😂. And point 2 is silly. We see tons of bungled plays where it should be caught, isn’t, and ruled a hit.

@The_Gildz @humberto_cuadra @Stuffhappenwhen @Reds03 @NotTheeWillHill lol!! It hit the glove. But that is not the criteria!!

@RTS103 @humberto_cuadra @Stuffhappenwhen @Reds03 @NotTheeWillHill It isn’t an error or it’s not “SCORED” an error if it doesn’t hit the glove. How are people this dumb? It’s amazing actually.
