"I don't see why Tucker wouldn't be in play unless you're assuming they re-sign Bellinger before Tucker comes off the board. I wouldn't rule them out on any free agent hitters really First base might be tough because they've got Rice internally and can't use the DH spot. Beyond that, any outfielder seems viable. They could make a run at Bichette and trade Jazz, or just roll with a Bo/Jazz middle infield tandem for a year"
"Snell said the Jays got lucky. Was he just making excuses for an unsuccessful performance? I mean, it obviously wasn't a great performance. He gave up homers on two of the first three pitches and issued four walks. It's also true that he would've had 6 2/3 innings of three-run ball with seven strikeouts if Edgardo Henriquez had done his job behind him, which doesn't look nearly as bad as five earned runs do"
The Yankees' roster needs prioritize offense over pitching, with interest in top bats like Tucker possible if they do not re-sign Bellinger. First base is constrained by the presence of Rice and the inability to use the DH spot, making outfield signings the most viable offensive moves. The Yankees could pursue Bichette and move Jazz, or maintain a Bo/Jazz middle infield while allowing Volpe to earn an everyday role. Snell's outing combined early homers and four walks, though better run support and relief might have produced a stronger line. Yesavage produced 12 strikeouts with no walks and remains a rookie, earning strong ROY consideration. Correa could potentially handle second base to resolve Astros position-player logjams.
