2022-23 New York Yankees offseason

[SixFeetDeep]

Realistically?

They’re fucked if they don’t re-sign Judge. That man carried this team this summer.

If they don’t re-sign him, that has massive short term and long term ramifications.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they went back to the drawing board if they don’t get him back.

Why would they spend a bunch of money on other FA’s but wouldn’t be willing to spend it on Judge?

In other words, Plan A (sign Judge) and Plan B might look vastly different in terms of spending and approach this offseason.

"[Brian] Cashman said he didn’t have a 2023 payroll figure from Steinbrenner yet and called it “a developing story” because the 'right-field situation will tell us a lot, too.' "

I think you can read this quote 2 ways:

1) they would have very little payroll budget left after a potential Judge re-signing

Or

2) a Judge re-signing opens up the possibility of passing the higher luxury tax tiers. They clearly need more players besides just him. If he’s not back that extra spending wouldn’t be worth the return

[SixFeetDeep]

Am I just in denial that Judge is out the door?

If he does go, a lot more needs to be made about Cashman's completely idiotic decision to go public with the terms they offered him before the year. There was absolutely no upside to it.

Hal Steinbrenner will determine if Judge is back or not.

Cashman would probably give him a blank check. He engages in a lot of GM speak to keep negotiations close, but the guy knows more than anyone what Judge is worth.

Giants head of baseball ops Farhan Zaidi, prominently linked to Aaron Judge: "I think from a financial standpoint there’s nobody that would be out of our capability. And then it’ll just be a question of whether there’s mutual interest."

Passan RT’d this tonight

You’re on, Hal.

Given how Hal has operated the purse that is absolutely probable.

The old days of win at all costs, spend whatever you need to died with George. You can't tell me this team doesn't gain more revenue then the Dodgers and the Mets and therefore should have a similar payroll.

If they don't re-sign Judge they might as well strip the team for parts like the Marlins.

Right? What’s the point in competing with this squad if you won’t give them the best chance to win

Heyman: “Responding to a comment by one person who’d spoken recently to the Yankees camp and suggested they didn’t seem overly confident or interested in re-signing Judge, Cashman said, ‘Whoever said that, I’d drug test him.’”

George answered to George, Hal answers to the board that want this franchise run like a business

Heyman: “The Yankees are showing interest in outfielder Masataka Yoshida, an outstanding hitter with a career slash line of .326/.419/.538.”

Heyman: “The Yankees’ top outfield target is obviously Aaron Judge, but they’d like two outfielders, with the second one (assuming they can re-sign Judge) preferably left-handed. Yoshida, 29, drew attention with a .447 on-base percentage this past season”
