Speaking of big box retailers, a Walmart Ultimate Edition wave is possible, Ozer added.Īsked if Ultimate 2-, 3- or even 4-packs were possible, Ozer called them “inevitable.” In another post, he called Hart Foundation Ultimates “needed.” Jeff, maybe skip a chest workout or two?Īsked if Mattel could be reworking torsos that look big on some figures (we’re looking at you, Jeff Hardy), Ozer said Mattel is “always looking to tweak and improve” and “some new Ultimate torsos are in the works.” Ozer wrote that the figure is not limited and expected to be on the big box retailer’s planogram through summer. If you haven’t been able to snag the Ultimate Edition Batista Target exclusive yet, don’t panic. Meanwhile, the Bill Goldberg Ultimate Fan Takeover figure will be the last Fan Takeover figure “for awhile,” as Mattel will “move on to different exclusive executions for Amazon after he is released.” Batista, we will find you …. A listing for Michaels popped up on Amazon Australia and possibly other sites. However, international orders could take place much sooner. Pre-orders for the WWE Ultimate Edition Shawn Michaels Amazon exclusive Fan Takeover figure will “most likely” take place this summer, Mattel WWE marketing manager Steve Ozer shared in his rolling Q&A.

Welcome to This Week in Wrestling Figures, a run down of the biggest wrestling action figure news of the week. But if anything aside from injury would hold them back, it would be the rotation.It’s going to be a Heartbreak Kid kinda summer. The Dodgers have an embarrassment of riches, their pitching included. They also give up contact, which will be less ideal once competition stiffens in the postseason.ĭustin May struggled with command in his third start since returning from Tommy John surgery. Julio Urías, Tony Gonsolin, Tyler Anderson and Andrew Heaney have all been excellent this year. The Los Angeles Dodgers have no clear or obvious weaknesses.Īside from the pitching numbers, they also lead baseball in runs scored and have the highest OPS.īut if we're going to nitpick the Dodgers, it should start with taking a look at that rotation and wondering how good it truly is without Walker Buehler and a diminished Clayton Kershaw. It sounds ridiculous that a pitching staff with the lowest ERA, WHIP and opponent batting average on a team with the best record in baseball could possibly be the Achilles' heel. Their pitching overall is posting impressive numbers: top five in ERA, WHIP and opponent batting average.īut if there is a clear weakness on this team, it's those middle infield spots.īrian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images No one is going to feel sorry for the Yankees with that lineup, with a top-five OPS powered by AL MVP candidate Aaron Judge. Second baseman Gleyber Torres has underperformed again this year, posting career lows in batting average and on-base percentage. Defensively, they are 26th in outs above average and tied for the 10th-most errors at the position. Yankees shortstops rank 22nd in WAR and 18th in wRC+. That notion has only been validated by their lack of production at that position. It seemed like the Yankees were settling until they were ready to promote talented shortstop prospects like Anthony Volpe and Oswald Peraza.

Trading for Isiah Kiner-Falefa this offseason left a lot to be desired, especially considering Carlos Correa, Corey Seager and Trevor Story headlined the free-agent class of shortstops. In the postseason, don't be surprised to see All-Star right fielder Kyle Tucker move over to center to allow their best bats into the lineup.ĭaniel Shirey/MLB Photos via Getty ImagesĪll season, the New York Yankees' obvious holes have been in the middle infield. They also added left-handed reliever Will Smith to their bullpen, and he's been better lately.īut there is still an obvious hole in center, between McCormick and Mauricio Dubón. General manager James Click addressed their offensive issues by trading for Trey Mancini and Christian Vázquez. Houston's center field position ranks 23rd in wRC+, while Astros hitters overall rank sixth in that category.


They sent Myles Straw to the Cleveland Guardians ahead of last year's trade deadline but have not received the production expected from Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers (recently demoted to Triple-A) or José Siri, who they traded to the Tampa Bay Rays ahead of this year's deadline.

The Houston Astros have been trying to figure out center field ever since George Springer left for the Toronto Blue Jays in free agency after the pandemic-shortened season in 2020.
