He'd be right if we didn't have Stanton's contract holding Steinbrenner from making big plays for free agents.
They spent more in the winter of 2018 on CC, hicks, Gardy, Ottavino, Britton, DJ, Gio, and happ than it would’ve cost to pay Harper and Machado and were 2 years away from ellsbury’s deal ending. They went into 2018 with a payroll $30 million lower than in 2017. In 2022 they traded away a good third baseman on the cheap and spent $40 million on Joey Gallo, IKF, and Josh Donaldson with another $20 million on Rizzo when 5 shortstops, Matt Olson, and Freddie Freeman were out there. The issue is Cashman.

Rice :wow:. The kid has genuinely pulled this team out of the grave. Biggest at bat of the season so far to retake sole possession of first place after a horrid skid and a rookie delivers that homer :blessed:. This should be the moment that turns it back around.
