  2. Lamonte Wade was someone I wanted at the deadline this year. He would fit in so well on this offense. Could really plug him in almost anywhere. Should be good for a .360 OBP and could hit 20 HRs in Yankee Stadium. This is such an obviously good move that I doubt Cashman has interest.

  3. Love LaMonte and not just for the Sanford & Son memes. Gets on base, hits lefty, can play 1B or OF.

  4. What other teams need a 1B this offseason? I would love to get Wade Jr but the 1B free agents are so meh it could drive his price way up.

  7. He’s definitely an interesting player to consider. The one thing I’d worry about with Lamonte is he got injured last year and fell off a cliff offensively when he came back. He’s a FA after next season so it won’t be a huge investment prospect wise. Also if it doesn’t work out there will be good 1B options in 26′ free agency with Murakami coming over and Vlad Jr. I like the Yankees going after a rental this go around. It gives them more options if Soto moves on.

  8. I also saw Susan Slusser say Doval could be available. A Wade+Doval package would cost a lot but would be worth it. Blake could make Doval into the best closer in the league.

  9. Pass on Yaz even if Soto doesn’t resign.

    Yes on Wade. We’d need the short half of a platoon but those aren’t hard to find. It’d probably end up DJ though.

  10. I would be fine with either (Yaz only if Soto is not resigned) but I wouldn’t give up anything more than a lottery pick prospect.

  11. Wade Jr. is an OOTP legend. Not a whole lot of power but positional depth and excellent plate discipline will be good stuff to have.
