In game one the the Guardians win 3-2. Yankees took the early 2-0 lead before suspicious things forced a comeback. A 2 run double for Stanton started the scoring. 3 different players with RBI's for the Guardians. Beiber gets the suspicious win and Anderson the suspicious loss!
In a recap of the ALDS, the Yankees are in Cleveland for 3 against the Guardians. The Guardians will be throwing Beiber in game one, Gattis in game 2, and due to Vicale's injury not yet known for game 3. The Yankees counter with German in game 1, Cole in Game 2, and Schmidt in game 3. Should be a fun interesting series. Star Jose Ramirez leads his team against baseballs BEST PLAYER in Aaron Judge. Stay alert for HR's, Strike outs, and all of baseball's odities.
The Guardians are facing a tough challenge from the slugging Yankees, led by Aaron Judge, who recently broke his five-game streak without a homerun with a two-homer game against the Orioles. However, the Guardians can field their best lineup against the Yankees as there won't be any left-handed starters to face. Game-time temperatures could also work in their favor, allowing Amed Rosario to get his first streak of 2023 going.
Shane Bieber will face Domingo Germán in Game 1, while Gerrit Cole will take on Hunter Gaddis in Game 2. The Guardians will be looking to light him up, as the Phillies did in his debut last week. Cole, on the other hand, has already racked up 19 strikeouts in two starts this year, making him a tough challenge for Cleveland batters.
Stolen bases are likely to play a big role in this series, as both teams are ranked among the top three in the league. The Yankees have some true stolen base threats in Gleybar Torres and rookie Anthony Volpe, while even Judge is a threat with 16 stolen bases last year. Volpe, ranked as the Yanks' No. 1 prospect, is a new problem for the Guardians to deal with.

In response to NJ article Yankees’ plan for left field ‘appears’ set

That’s all, folks.
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman appears to be done wheeling and dealing, at least for the time being.
According to NJ Advance Media’s Bob Klapisch, “MLB sources don’t anticipate any other major moves by the Yankees before spring training. For now it appears Aaron Hicks will be in left field.”
-------------
The Yankees are still very much in play for Pirates Bryan Reynolds. Also Plan B, another player. (A much more bigger name.)
That player... Mike Trout
Sources told NYYNEWS.com about 2 weeks ago, that Trout talks have remained under wraps for the following reasons.
"Ownership is not trying to disrupt ticket sales and potential sale of The Angels."
It was also confirmed to us and reported on this website. That the only possible way that this could happen, is if. The Yankees get him for 25 to 27 Mil a season.
The obvious, The Yankees are "waiting" for either The Pirates or The Angels to make their move for LF.
If that were not the case, Max Kepler Or Profar would have been acquired a long time ago.
Meaning, The Yankees do not see Kepler nor Profar as major improvements over Hicks/Cabrera.
As the start of the 2023 MLB season approaches, rumors are swirling about potential moves by various teams. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that it would take a "Juan Soto-type package" for the Pittsburgh Pirates to consider trading All-Star outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who is under contract until 2026. The Los Angeles Dodgers are rumored to be interested in acquiring Reynolds, due in part to his $6.75 million salary, which would help the team stay under the Competitive Balance Tax threshold. The Dodgers also have a strong farm system that could potentially make them a viable option for the Pirates.
In addition to potential trades, there are still some free agents on the market who could bolster teams' rosters for the upcoming season. One player to watch is Jurickson Profar, a 29-year-old infielder/outfielder who has spent the past three seasons with the San Diego Padres. MLB.com mentions that Profar could be a part of the New York Yankees' plan to strengthen their left field options. Jim Bowden of The Athletic also notes that Profar is a "real possibility" for the Colorado Rockies, who are seeking a left-handed hitter to potentially serve as a leadoff hitter. The switch-hitting Profar could be a good fit for this role on a Rockies team that has been relatively quiet during the offseason.
One Hurdle that The Yankees need to address, if they decide to turn their attention to the free agent market again. Freeing up salary, they would have to do so if they somehow land Reynolds. It has been reported that the team Reynolds lands on, he would like to stay longterm. So keep in mind, Yankees are ready for that kind of investment.
Either move a player like Josh Donaldson, Aaron Hicks. Or get creative in other ways.
The Yankees want to stay below the $293M “Steve Cohen tax” threshold (they are at $290M.)
If they can't land Reynolds, the following targets require salary space to be freed. From Free Agent Market / Trade Market. From Lowest to Highest
Profar (Would Take Hicks Trade $)
Kepler (Would Take Hicks Trade $)
Trout (Would Take Donaldson Trade $)
Have no doubt, The Yankees are not starting The season how their current situation looks. The Yankees desperately need another "big bat." They prefer a LH bat in LF, but that could easily be fixed if they trade away a RH at another position and replace that position with a LH.
