2024-25 Yankees Off Season / Spring Training

#21 farm system per Kiley McDaniel.

#1? Rhymes with Jolly Rogers.

I think it is strategic that Cashman is throwing Gleyber under the bus now. The organization has to justify choosing to go with a worse lineup this year. We didn’t hear Gleyber run his mouth about the Yankees when he signed in Detroit. He certainly could have pointed out that every player in the lineup dogged-it at some point last season, but he was the only one held accountable. Also, I don’t blame Gleyber for not wanting to switch positions. He already had issues at two positions and was having a difficult year at the plate. I don’t think he wanted the extra complications in an extra challenging season. Why bend over backwards for a team who expressed no interest in retaining your services and just traded for your replacement? Even the great Yankee hero and team player Derek Jeter didn’t step aside for a superior player. Sure Gleyber isn’t Jeter, but Jazz isn’t A-Rod either. For whatever reason (I am sure much of it is Gleyber’s fault), the Yankees didn’t like him. There is nothing wrong with choosing to move on, but one party chose to act with class after the break-up and it was not the Yankees. Sometimes it is hard to root for this organization.

I just read that when they bought Chisholm last year, they wanted to have Gleybar take some turns at 3rd, so Chisholm could also get some time at 2nd.

Gleybar refused, saying "I'm a 2nd baseman." I think he made a reference to that at his signing press conference. So that's where the bad blood came from. They didn't think that was a "team first" move to outright refuse to ever do it.

Yeah I was pointing out who is at fault, but just trying to state facts that some didn’t want to hear.

If he mentioned it a the press conference, it was likely because other teams who were interested in signing him wanted him to play 3B. I don’t think he referred to the Yankees at all.

The “I play 2nd base “ was from last season when reporters asked him about it after the Jazz acquisition.

I am aware that he said it then. Ithaca suggested that he mentioned it in his signing press conference.

Only press conference I know of from his Detroit signing was a zoom they did with 6 or 7 reporters.Gleyber only mentioned that he was told he would be playing 2nd base and said he was happy about that.Nothing derogatory towards the Yankees and when asked about any Yankee offer he said there wasn’t one.I will say he looks better without the beard that he is now sporting.

I know he hit back at Cashman on Twitter today. Thought he mentioned it at the end of his PC, "I play 2nd base". I was looking for a quote, didn't want to watch the whole thing.
