There was talk about trading Ted Williams for Joe DiMaggio at one time over the respective fit of each for Yankee Stadium vs Fenway Park...

Only thing with the Yankees is that with Judge and Staton they have the DH covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge is pretty much the Yanks right fielder when he's healthy, and I'm not sure I'd count on Stanton with his injury history...The Yanks ran Brett Gardner out in LF the most this season, and I'd think Kyle's power numbers would be more attractive than .223/5/15 in that position...

johnsoniu Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 White Sox trade for Lance Lynn. Had to give up Dane Dunning, who has tremendous upside. But a rotation with Keuchal, Giolito, and Lynn at the top is as solid as it gets. They finished 5, 6, and 7 in Cy Young voting this year. Been lurking on this page for awhile now, look forward to a winter of good discussion with you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good get for the White Sox and while Dunning is a great prospect, Lynn has a bargain contract and the Sox are in a "win now" mode...And welcome aboard!

He had the reputation for some reason of being a clubhouse cancer and a bad teammate, but I read an article not long ago in which a bunch of former teammates, from both the Phillies and White Sox said he was an outstanding teammate...Including Bill Melton and Wilbur Wood... He's one of those guys from that era (Tony Oliva is another) that deserves a good look for the HoF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxy said Oliva should be in the HoF....If he's good enough for Joe, then he is good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
