Uh oh – Didi Gregorius has had his share of injuries of late. Bruised heel that put him on the DL in August, then torn cartilage in his wrist and now he needs shoulder surgery. The Yankees think he can come back for part of the season in 2019. Gleyber Torres is a natural shortstop and can start the season there. Didi is also in the walk year of his contract.
SU says not good – at all. They should be trying to re-sign Didi as he has proven he can play in New York. I suppose the one silver lining is that other teams may not be as willing to take a chance on him if he is not 100% physically due to this surgery at the end of the 2019 season. This also makes the Yankees that much more right-handed which as we saw this year is a major problem. Not the way you want to go into the off-season.
Perhaps Eli Manning is available? His lack of mobility continues to be a major problem given the weakness in the offensive line. Looks like another lost season at Met Life Stadium. OBJ is channeling his inner Dez Bryant and Terrell Owens – it’s a bad look. Hey, you got the big contract – just play the game and stop drawing attention to yourself.
The NBA season starts next week and the Knicks actually have a fun, young team. As long as you don’t care about wins and losses, they are probably good to check out. But if you live and die with them, well, SU suggests only occasional viewing.

Does this make them more interested in Machado? I hope not. They could lean on Torreyes again next season and he’ll lead the team in batting average. No power, but they get plenty of power from the rest of the lineup.
It is interesting that they totally abandoned Torreyes this year- not clear if it is related to the unspecified personal issues he apparently had. Will also be a big incentive for them to resign Walker- he can slide right in at second.
Need left handed hitting more now without Didi. Here comes Harper, fits in outfield after Gardner and McCutch leave. They have lusted after each other for awhile and yanks got under excise tax for this. Hechavarria might be solution until Didi comes back. Doesn’t matter unless someone can pitch
