Unofficial ‘21-22 Yankees Offseason thread

[SixFeetDeep]

I'm not big on Baez and I don't want Correa.

Who's pitching next year?

The same staff as last year. Was it an issue?

[SixFeetDeep]

Yup. Hal's trying to figure out how he can pay less in salary.

Boss George is rolling in his grave today at the headlines coming from across the Triboro.

…why would he want to pay more?

[SixFeetDeep]

Siemien won a gold glove this year, playing a different position.  His age was his only concern.

*playing an easier position

He’s not bad at short, but all those guys mentioned are plus defenders. Hence why Texas signed him to play 2B and Seager to play short

[SixFeetDeep]

Lol I completely glossed over “I don’t want Correa”

“George is rolling over in his grave because they won’t spend money”

*Yanks sign Correa to $350M deal*

“No, not like that!”

Pretty much how I'm feeling. Toronto is probably better on paper than the Yankees right now. Tampa Bay is always better, regardless of their roster. And Boston was better last season. You would think there would be a sense of urgency, but nah.

None of these teams have improved this offseason but go off

I was laughing for an hour straight at midnight last night while dissecting the Hunter Renfroe for Jackie Bradley Jr trade

…why would he want to pay more?

If he has no intention to assemble a championship team then you have a point.

Yankees fans act like we haven’t had a top payroll our entire lives

Surely we’ve won several championships over the last 10 years since we’ve paid our players the most money

[AlioTheFool]

The same staff as last year. Was it an issue?

Kluber's gone. We all hope Sevy is himself again, then we have a true second ace to pair with Cole. But what's after that? I like Monty, and German came back well, but this is a staff full of hopes and dreams. You can't keep relying on the pen to carry the club.

…why would he want to pay more?

Exactly. SFD, he's the owner of the most valuable franchise in sports. I'm not saying to take a mortgage out on the Stadium, but what's the problem with spending? Other than hoarding cash and riding a wave of Yankees fans who haven't yet lost patience with the "we're saving for next year" lie?

Lol I completely glossed over “I don’t want Correa”

“George is rolling over in his grave because they won’t spend money”

*Yanks sign Correa to $350M deal*

“No, not like that!”

These are mutually exclusive things. Not wanting Correa has absolutely nothing to do with the cost. He's easily the best option on the SS market--as a player. But he's also a cheater and an poopchute and I don't want to root for him. If he's wearing pinstripes, I 100% will root for him. But I don't want him in pinstripes.

Umm..you are wrong

[SixFeetDeep]

Umm..you are wrong

You lost the Cy Young Winner and a guy who finished 4th in the majors in HRs

Gausman is a good pitcher but last year was by far the best year of his career and Ray was still better. And you didn’t replace Siemien

So no

-Yankees SP staff was 4th in WAR and 10th in ERA last season. The “staff full of hopes and dreams” was fine last year. Kluber pitched 80 innings.

-Please demonstrate how the Yankees don’t spend, include numbers, thanks

-George would have signed Correa.

Odds to win WS on FDSB

Yankees: +1200
Blue Jays: +1200
Rays: +1400
Red Sox: +1800
Mack: L


And this is before they have made a single offseason move

[MBGreen]

Gausman is a good pitcher but last year was by far the best year of his career and Ray was still better. And you didn’t replace Siemien

So no

Ray had one good year, and now he's gone to a shitty team...gausman's numbers are better over the last 3 seasons and more consistent.

Garcia also improves our bullpen.

Semien is replaceable and we weren't done in FA.

So...yes.

“just spend moar money and the team will win”

2013 MLB payrolls

1) Yankees - $228M
3) Phillies - $168M

Our roster:



This was by FAR the worst Yankees team I have ever watched. The roster was disgraceful on so many levels.

I know this was a long time ago so you may not remember, but it took us years to recover from this. Because of all the giant, horrible contracts.

All years while having a top 2 payroll in MLB below:

2013: 85-77
2014: 84-78
2015: 87-75
2016: 84-78
2017: 97-71*
*We make it 1 game away from the WS. Due to new guys like Gary, Judge, Severino and Didi, not because we went out and signed a bunch of big ticket FAs.
