Not surprised , the only real attempt at improvement that was made was Carlos “pavano “ Rodon who will never pitch for the Yankees

The offense wasn’t improved at all they just maintained judge and Rizzo

Judge was Ripken Jr when it was time to make money , now he stubs his toe and is out for two months

Cash needs to go and Hal needs his head taken out from his ass , this team is trash and going nowhere in the future under this management

Watching
Even with Judge the problem continues to be contact in general and RISP. We have 3 guys with significant playtime hitting over .250, Tampa Bay has 8.

I hate that “New Yorkers want to win now” cliche that media and now idiot Hal buys into. We will wait on young promising players like any other fans

Yep, always thought that narrative was bs. What most NY sports fans don’t like is being a treadmill team that spends money on B+ players instead having a clear organization/team building plan (Rangers/Knicks under Dolan). I would easily take a 5 year re-build with years of horrible play if that led to a championship easily.

"Yankees don't rebuild, they retool" :unimpressed:. Making the playoffs the last 6 years convinced Hal/Cashman that whatever they're doing is working and led to a refusal to fix the glaring problem this team has. They need an overhaul in the worst way and have needed one for years.

the best way to be cheap AND keep fans interested is with young homegrown guys. That 2017 season proved we'll be fine watching young players grow because that team was expected to be .500 at best.

if by the end of '24 half the lineup is Judge, Volpe, Wells, Dominguez and Peraza, we're fine. The Rangers wrote to their fans that they were gonna start over and not many complained. NYCFC is starting over and we understand as long as the young guys show us something. It's obvious the Yankees are scared of young players because they know they're not the best at evaluating talent after a certain point.
