Hope they don't get Luis Robert. Seems like another version of Siri. Disappointed they couldn't procure Wilson Contreras as a short term fix for first. Unless that means they're aiming for Bellinger at first.
I don't think Belli wants to leave the Yankees, and I don't think the Yankees want to let him go, either. Money talks, of course. But if we're going to get that deep into the payroll tax, it likely would be for Tucker instead.
Robert is another problem. He spent two years regressing from a really, really promising 2023, and at an age when he should have been progressing dramatically.
I'd take him if we can get him for a song, maybe with an offsetting check in his pocket, and hope playing with dudes like Soto and Lindor can turn him around. But he's not someone I'd want to spend significant prospect capital on.
"Polanco worked out at first base several times" is not a feasible plan
It's dicey. After all those years playing middle infield, his first instinct is always going to be "go for the ball." Very hard habit to break.
