What the staff says

JD on Ben Rice (Aug 3, 2026): Big news for Ben Rice owners, word is that the Yankees will platoon Golschimdt and Garcia at 1B with Rice splitting time between DH and C. If Rice is able to get 5 starts through the end of the season at catcher, he will be eligible for all of 2027 on Yahoo, and if he van get to 20 starts (which I think is pretty unlikely) he will be universally eligible. If he does end up getting universal catcher eligibility, he will be that much more valuable heading into next season, potentially pushing the top 10 and the very clear #1 overall catcher.

JD on Yordan Alvarez (Jun 10, 2026): Does anyone else find it hard to believe that your Yordan is only 28 years old (about to be 29)? I hope he stays healthy for the remainder of the season because man, is it fun to watch him absolutely clobber pitchers like Barry Bonds in his peak steroid era. There's nothing in his profile I'm really worried about except lingering injury concerns. I think he can put it together for a full season but the upside is second to only Aaron Judge but he's five years younger. I would've made a straight up trade of Judge for Yordan before the rib injury, and now there isn't even a question.
