Yanks Stockplie Cheap Arms In Their Real Pursuit: Juan Soto

Tuesday, November 19, 2024 13:30

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Here we go again: the Yankees have signed Cristian Hernandez to a minor-league deal and forgive me if I’m not exactly breaking out the confetti. Hernandez, 24, spent most of 2024 as a reliever in Double-A Reading with the Phillies organization, sporting a respectable 3.40 ERA and a 44:9 K
ratio over 42.1 innings. Sure, solid numbers for the Reading Fightin’ Phils, but the big leagues are a different beast—and the Yankees need more than a “hole filler” if they’re serious about contending.

Let’s call it like it is; Hernandez is a depth piece. A Band-Aid, not a solution. He’s yet to pitch above Double-A, which feels more like a gamble than a game-changer. Sure, he could potentially serve as a swingman down the road, but unless he’s hiding a Mariano Rivera cutter in his back pocket, this move isn’t moving the needle.

Here’s where the annoyance creeps in. The Yankees have glaring needs in the pitching department. Glaring. Our rotation is a perpetual question mark, and the bullpen isn’t exactly overflowing with untouchable arms. So, what do we do? We dip into the minor-league bargain bin instead of making a splash. It’s hard not to feel like this is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

And here’s my theory: the Yankees are pinching pennies because they’re saving up for Juan Soto. Let’s face it—if Soto becomes available, he’s going to cost more than the GDP of a small country. The Yankees know this, and they’re cutting corners to keep their wallet fat for a Soto-sized splurge. It’s a tantalizing thought, but while we’re daydreaming about Soto in pinstripes, our pitching staff could be melting down like the Wicked Witch of the West.

So, while Cristian Hernandez might surprise us—because Yankees fringe signings love to make me eat crow—I’m not holding my breath. He’s a hole filler, plain and simple, and I don’t see him making a significant impact. The real impact? That’s going to come when (if?) Soto shows up at Yankee Stadium with the price tag we’re apparently trying to afford. Until then, let’s hope the rotation holds together with duct tape and prayers.
