Soto or Nowhere: The Official 2024 New York Yankees Off-Season Thread

[tremonthustler1]

The funny thing is Peter Alonso is a typical Yankee. Swing or miss guy; clean shaven, and would take advantage of YS dimensions.

I being a Mets fan don’t want it to happen, but it’s make a lot of sense to sign Pete.

Correct: he's everything we can't stand.

Pete would come here, hit .230, hit 40 homers, but suck dikk with RISP and be a butcher at 1B who can't go to DH because Stanton has 3 years left.

Here's a bad offseason for the Yankees:

Soto walking and then pivoting to...

signing Pete to any contract
overpaying Bregman
giving Gleyber a multi year deal
re-signing Verdugo to play every day again
trading for Mason Miller
trading Dominguez for anything (I'm way more open to trading Spencer Jones)
not releasing LeMahieu

I'm more willing to take a step back in 2025, but the argument against it is that Judge and Cole are getting older and we can't waste their primes. I'm not going all in to carry someone to a title who couldn't help himself. If that means falling back (which they should absolutely do if they lose Soto), so be it. We learned Judge ain't built for those moments and still don't know if Dominguez can cuz we chose not to play him.

Now that Tremont brings it up...

Mason Miller was a starting pitcher.
I wonder why he's relegated to being a closer when he's basically the same guy as Paul Skenes.

And we saw what Skenes did.
