Josh Donaldson has been released by the Yankees. Finally. Only about 5 months too late. The trade with the Twins a couple of years ago did move Gary Sanchez off the roster but they had to send Gio Urshela as well which was a bad, bad move. Donaldson was just a bad fit with the Yankees. He is the opposite of what the Yankees have looked for over the years.

Cashman is on a run of bad trades now for several years. Frankie Montas may be the worst one ever as they gave up their higher end pitching prospects to Oakland.

SU says someone will pick up Donaldson for September as you never know when a guy gets hot and pushes hit batting average all the way into Stanton territory (.200). At least the Yankees are pushing in the right direction now.

SU did read on X that there is no way that Boone will be fired after the season according to 4 insiders in the team. No way Cashman is going but they may have to offer up someone for the fans who are very unhappy.
