Shall we pin this for the upcoming season? Or does it even matter anymore?

There are very few players or situations you may want to somewhat overpay. That player and situation is here with Judge. Look, yes, he's been injury prone since his near MVP season. But just like Jeter, there are certain guys that carry more value than just their on field numbers and stats. Guys that you cannot risk leaving without putting up a decent fight. Judge is one of those guys. He is literally the poster child of the new Yankee Captain and the closest thing to the next Jeter they have. Guys like that, guys who are the face of the franchise, you don't let go cause you're not willing to budge on what you think is fair based on stats.
What this tells me is that the Yankees may also be putting up a dog and pony show when it comes to how serious they are in believing that Anthony Volpe can be the guy that anchors their infield for the next decade and that the smoke and mirrors hype is just to help deflect fans reactions when they decided to pass on every one of those star SS's well before the offseason even started. Let's be honest, Hal and his cheap ass can try to hide and spin all he wants, but it was clear to me this offseason (Seager, Correa, Story, Baez, etc, etc.) just as it was clear the previous offseason (Harper, Machado, etc.) that they have absolutely no plans on giving any more big buck contracts out to any player.
So now Hal thinks that fans are dumb and gullible enough that if they "leak" what they offered Judge that fans will go "oh that's a great deal, so much money, i can't ever make that in a lifetime!!" and actually believe that Hal tried.
I keep getting the image of bean counter Hal asking Cashman "how come the Rays can win without spending money?!?!?" over and over again every time Cashman asks for approval to spend.

This is a Yankee propaganda virtue signaling ploy to trick the fans.

Just doesn’t seem happy. .300 55 hr’s 120 RBI’s incoming.
They didn’t chase better players and legit #2 starter so they can low ball Judge and tell the offer to the media. Judge is a class act but he’s outta here.
