In terrible professional business fashion, two ownership groups, who seemingly hated each other, never coordinate a transitional plan. Did not care about the community or the fans. The Loria regime gave away players that would be major contributors today and he assets Jeter regime inherited they dumped for pennies on the dollar. They have both made terrible moves, and I truly believe, as much as the PR tries to spin it as a rebuild, that they both contributed in setting this franchise back 10-15 years, maybe longer. They have no bats in their system to be excited about (spare me the "Monte is a great athlete" speech). If Loria's regime would not have sold the farm for the Fernando Rodney's of the world, and Jeter would have held onto some of the best players in the game, our team would be contending for the playoffs and WS. If the only major moves we made were trading Realmuto and Int'l $$ (Yankees), this would be us:
C - Alfaro
1B - Bour/Prado/Cooper/FAgent
2B - Dee
SS - Miggy/Riddle/FAgent
3B - Anderson
LF - Ozuna
CF - Yelich
RF - Stanton
SP - Chris Paddock
