I hope they don't panic sign a bum

Start figuring out if these young farm guys can play now
EXACTLY!


Dominguez
Wells
Volpe
Gil

maybe Jones (though I'd trade him anyway)

and focus on that core. Don't go and sign another Igawa, Ellsbury, Stroman, etc.


The Yankees are without the top 2 bats in the lineup that Judge failed to drive in. Why spend more money in a kneejerk reaction to be worse?

If the Yankees suck dikk in 2025 maybe that DOES get Cashman fired. That should be the goal now anyway.

I've been the most critical of Hal. But Soto was going wherever the money took him, and last I checked, 800>>>>>760

Can't force a muthafukka to sign. Get your money Juan. Enjoyed your season here

Watch this fool Cashman ask what Jacoby’s availability is or David Wright.

But real talk, they better take that money and go Xmas shopping for pitchers and tighten up the infield.

I wish Soto well. He did his job but he isn’t winning a damn thing in Queens. But at least he got his bag.

Just lost the best pure hitter in the game… no worries :sadcam:
This is why you pay Harper and Machado when both want to be here. The winter of 2018 doomed this team for a generation. That the GM who oversaw it is still here will never make sense to me.

The $5M difference just showed that Yanks probably told him this is the final offer after Boras kept squeezing for more money and then he went back to uncle Stevey who gave him the extra $5M, because he would beat any offer regardless.

Gotta take the huge L here. Just don’t do something stupid like we did after losing Cano (offering bags to Ellsbury and Shin So Choo)

The $5 million reason is an insult because that’s a little bag he could’ve gotten as a performance bonus and the Yankee mystique is worth far more in endorsements, prestige and the team actually being relevant.

So it’s clear he just didn’t want to be a Yankee. Guys like Judge should feel some kind of way but Judge also should’ve done his job in the postseason.
