“#Yankees mailbag: What derailed potential Starling Marte trade<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n You ask, we answer. The Post is fielding questions from readers about New York\u2019s biggest pro sports teams and getting our beat writers to answer them in a series<\/a> of regularly published mailbags. In today\u2019s installment: the Yankees.<\/em><\/p>\n

It seems the Yankees have given up on Miguel Andujar. He has not been given equal opportunity to get his timing, like [Clint] Frazier, [Mike] Ford and even [Tyler] Wade. \u2026 Why after he proved he\u2019s an elite hitter, run producer, have they quit on him? \u2014 Michael Torres<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andujar is in a tougher spot than Frazier, Ford and Wade because Gio Urshela is a much better player than Andujar. Urshela provides Gold Glove-type defense at third and is no longer the out he was in Cleveland and Toronto at the plate. Andujar\u2019s rookie season was terrific, but it was followed by right shoulder surgery that limited him to 12 game<\/a>s a year ago and sporadic playing time this year, when the Yankees experimented with him in the outfield.<\/p>\n

Frazier benefited from Aaron Judge getting hurt. Ford hits left-handed, so he can compliment Luke Voit at first and serve as the DH. Wade offers versatility and can play in the middle of the infield.<\/p>\n

With Urshela going on the IL on Friday, Andujar will get the chance to play third more than in the past.<\/p>\n

The Yankees remain woeful at contact hitting, swinging for the fences in every at-bat. How much of this is the fault of [hitting coach] Marcus Thames? Isn\u2019t it time for a change? \u2014 Ray Roberts<\/strong><\/p>\n

If teams changed coaches because of players failures, there would be nobody left to coach. Nobody was calling for Thames to be fired when Giancarlo Stanton and Judge were healthy and they are two of the premier free swingers in the game. The Yankees\u2019 calling card, seemingly forever, has been home runs, hence the nickname \u201cBronx Bombers.\u2019\u2019 That isn\u2019t going to change. And it\u2019s not like one through nine come out of their cleats swinging. DJ LeMahieu and Mike Tauchman hit the ball the other way as does Frazier. Though Voit is a power hitter with a big swing, his plate discipline is very good. If you want Thames out who do you want in?<\/p>\n

Why aren\u2019t Yankee hitters with runners in scoring position disciplined to just to put the ball in play instead of striking out so often and killing rally after rally? Isn\u2019t this something the manager can stress to all of them? \u2014 Bruce McBride<\/strong><\/p>\n

A manager can stress a lot of things to players, but established big league players \u2014 which the Yankees have a lot of \u2014 don\u2019t change their DNA. You want Gary Sanchez and Luke Voit moving a runner from second to third with no outs? Ditto Stanton or Judge putting the ball in play when they are capable of hitting it in the gap or over the wall?<\/p>\n

Seeing what the Marlins gave up for [Starling] Marte, why didn\u2019t the Yankees make a better offer? \u2014 Edward Lewis<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a person familiar with the trade, the Marlins \u201coverpaid\u2019\u2019 for Marte in talent and the Yankees listened but passed on an offer. According to the scout, Humberto Mejia will either relieve or be a back end of the rotation starter and Caleb Smith is a middle-of-the-rotation arm. Plus the Marlins are paying $1.1 million of Marte\u2019s salary for this season and will likely decline a $12 million option for next year. In the scout\u2019s mind, the Marlins gave up too much.<\/p>\n

You wrote six weeks ago that the Yankees would be satisfied with Sanchez hitting .250 with 30 HRs for a full season. He\u2019s currently hitting (.130 entering Friday) with 6 HRs. Can Voit catch and play first base at the same time? \u2014 Paul Bickel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on Sanchez\u2019s track record, those numbers weren\u2019t farfetched for 162 games. What has transpired this season is mind-boggling. Entering Saturday\u2019s action, he was hitting .135 (13-for-96). Seven of those hits were homers and he had struck out 44 times.<\/p>\n

And for those who want Sanchez out of The Bronx, GM Brian Cashman said recently the club still believes in the 27-year-old catcher.<\/p>\n

Has this latest Judge injury proven to management that he should never get any kind of long-term contract? Maybe 3-5 years but heavily incentivized? At this point, it seems no one over 6-foot-4 should ever be drafted. \u2014 Carl Wallnau<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who knows what the financial landscape will look like when Judge reaches free agency, because the economic rebound from this season will be slow. What happ<\/a>ens if he plays in 150 games in 2021 and 2022, and produces like he did in 2017? What happens if he misses large chunks of time again? At this point, it is hard to gauge what lays ahead for Judge from a financial standpoint because of the time missed.<\/p>\n

Submit your Yankees questions to be answered in an upcoming mailbag<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Yankees have seemingly endured more injuries during the Aaron Boone era than for any previous manager. The majority of the training staff was replaced, yet injuries continue. Is it a lack of commitment from the players or is it a management issue that we can\u2019t seem to find the right medical and training staff? \u2014 Lynn Jacobsen<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to injuries and athletes, there is no right or wrong answers as to why they happen. In assessing Carl Pavano\u2019s long list of injuries a teammate surmised, \u201cSome bodies aren\u2019t built to do what we do.\u2019\u2019 The Yankees aren\u2019t alone when it comes to high profile players getting injured, so to blame their staff for the injuries the past few years isn\u2019t fair.<\/p>\n

Have you noticed any difference in the Yankee pitching since the new pitching coach has arrived? It still seems to be the same old Yankee style, pitchers nibbling too much, rather than attacking the strike zone. Or is there too much credit\/blame given to the pitching coach? \u2014 Mike Goldberg<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Gerrit Cole is pitching, Matt Blake looks like a real good pitching coach. When J.A. Happ and James Paxton get hit, Blake doesn\u2019t look so good. Coaches in every sport get too much credit for the good and too much blame for the bad.<\/p>\n

Can the Yankees acquire [J.T.] Realmuto next year? \u2014 Antony Mathew<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can they? Yes, because he is a free agent. Will they? Not unless they can figure out what to do with Sanchez. First base? No need to do that with Voit showing signs of being an asset at first. DH? Not with Stanton around. Trade? Possible, but the Yankees haven\u2019t been shy about Sanchez being their regular catcher.<\/p>\n

What date and year was Roger Maris traded from the K.C. Athletics to the NYY? \u2014 Jerry Oliver<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dec. 11, 1959. K.C. also sent Joe DeMaestri and Kent Hadley to Yankees \u2014 who moved Hank Bauer, Don Larsen, Norm Siebern and Marv Throneberry to K.C.<\/p>\n

Is there any chatter around the Yanks that [Tommy] Kahnle\u2019s injury was exacerbated by video games? \u2014 andychan<\/strong><\/p>\n

If playing video games resulted in Tommy John surgery, there wouldn\u2019t be enough players to field teams, since this generation of players spends hours logged into video games.<\/p>\n

What are the chances the Yankees resign LeMahieu in the offseason? \u2014 Pool Noodle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without knowing what the financial landscape for free agents looks like, it is difficult to tell. However, LeMahieu likes being a Yankee and they love having him. Those are two important factors. I say he stays\n <\/p><\/div>\n
