Given how Guerrero says he’d never sign with the Yankees even if he were dead, that’s another 1 year rental waiting to happen

sign this beast in 2026. Still just 24.
If they wanna trade Spencer Jones in some deal for Crochet/Robert, I'm with that too.
The biggest hole really is 2B or 3B depending on where Chisholm plays long term.
This is funny.
But remember that he was supposed to still be a Yankee, but the NYY stage eventually was too big for him and his body wasn't up to the task. Enjoy Sacramento or wherever the A's will play, and those California taxes.
Nah, there's generational hate for the Yankees here, based on how we treated his father. His father legit wanted to play for us. We chose Gary Sheffield instead. I was 100% Team Vlad back then.
Jr. never forgot and continues to hold that grudge. He'll end up at Citi Field.

the Harper one by far hurts the most.
1. Harper
2. not acquiring Verlander in 2017 via trade
3. Machado

Like the lakers after Jerry Buss died. Most of these names were of the “didn’t even try” variety. None of the shortstops or Realmuto they even tried to get.
I said as sooner as Verlander got to Houston it would burn them, that they’d pay for not going all in. All 3 needed to be here. By 2019 they had by a few metrics the worst starting 5 in baseball and I don’t think anyone has gotten worse play from left field, first base, or third base than they have since passing on these guys.
Harper held out for us so long that the MLB the show 19 cover with him on it released with him in a hoodie because he was still a free agent. He signed with the Phillies a few days after Cashman signed hicks

No logic at all. They used his deal as an excuse but they went into 2018 with a payroll $30 million less than the 2017 squad and just 2 years later Ellsbury’s deal would expire anyway, which was 85% of what Harper is being paid. Instead they spent more on washed up starters and relievers.

The Yankees need to ask for an extension before they give up all their assets for a guy like Vlad. Or repeat the same fate.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes to the Dodgers

he's probably gonna play 1B in the majors and the Dodgers have Freeman and Ohtani at 1B/DH.
