2023 New York Yankees Thread

[MrDollarBills]

The Dodgers just signed Tanner Scott.

Jesus.

The Dodgers are out for blood while Hal is happy that Brian got the salaries under the luxury tax.

We will never win again while this dip sh*t is in charge.

[MrDollarBills]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dodgers TV deal is silly-good and they sell out their tickets. They make more money than the Yankees. They'll lose a bit of that when the Vegas move happens, but only a bit.

This is wrong. The Yankees make the most revenue in MLB, and it's not particularly close.

Correct. Last I checked the Yankees made nearly 100m more than LA, which makes Hal look even worse for how he is penny pinching

[KnicksGadfly]

We’re all seeing what Juan Soto saw.

Hal’s whole stupid plan was to resign Juan Soto and try to run things back while the Dodgers kept gearing up. What a stupid ass owner. The right move would have been to get Soto, sign Fried, get Goldschmidt, bulk up the bullpen, etc…not this either-or shyt Hal is trying to push through the media.

Yep.

Soto was right.

You guys are right. I looked it up as well. LA is number two (hehe - little joke there). The Mets aren't even in the top 10 which is crazy. Cohen will try to improve that.

Not sure what going to the Mets does other than getting a bit more money and a suite. Mets have kinda stopped spending crazy after the big contract and Soto now has to face the Dodgers just to get to the World Series. I would've thought they'd be in on Tanner Scott even with Diaz or swung a deal for Corbin Burnes as a true ace.

Manfred has more than guaranteed that MLB will be unwatchable for the next 5 or 6 years.

[thebuzzardman]

Yanks sign a weak hitting, low contact, sh*tty utility infielder yet?

Rich assh*les destroy competition? Seems as American as apple pie.

Sick of talking about cheap ass Hal and him ruining the team

[knicks94]

If the Yankees retired Reggie’s number they need to do likewise with CC.

That's true. I haven't seen them do much else besides sign our expired goods.

They’re not being cheap but they’re suffering from another Cashman and Hal disease: arrogance. It really is arrogance that drove them to assume any of the members of their rotation could match up against the Dodgers starting 5. They needed Corbin in the worst way.

It does look like they’re going to be getting Vlad next off-season, based on their trade rumors and how they’re ostracizing Alonso, though.

The same Vlad that hates us and won't sign here

This is not the same franchise of my youth. George would have went nuclear watching the Dodgers outwork us. Hal? Pffft.

They could afford both. Move VGJ to third or Alonso to DH. They just won't spend after Soto and re-signing Manaea.

VGJ walked those comments back last season.

And technically, the Yankees of our youth had some amazing homegrown talent with Jeter, Mo, Pettitte, Jorge, but also Bernie, Soriano, El Duque, and to a lesser extent Ricky Ledee and Shane Spencer. Yeah, those teams could spend too, but we all gotta remember homegrown talent played a huge part in that dynasty, something severely lacking in the Judge era, outside of course Judge himself and only in the regular season.

Unlike the Yankees, the Mets are pretty stocked with minor league talent that are on the cusp of becoming major leaguers. We're trying to figure out how to best utilize these assets to improve the team either by keeping them or trading them. We can definitely make a significant trade with them.

I know Sproat can start off in the Mets rotation or bullpen, but should that really have stopped you guys from Scott and Burnes or at least one of them? Or wouldn't the better play be to sign Burnes instead of Montas and Holmes to be the back end of your rotation?

Stearns doesn’t like these longterm contracts for pitchers. Minter might be safer pick over Scott, who’s had control issues in the past. I think that the other issue is that we’re up against most severe luxury tax where each contract will be doubled due to the penalty.

I see us making 2-3 more signings - one BP arm and one or two more bats including 1B. Anything bigger will have to come via a trade.

Perhaps it's my own pinstripe bias, but I still think even a short term AAV of around $30 million to Montas and Holmes is a lot riskier than Burnes's $35 million.

I get not wanting to give Tanner Scott a huge contract, especially a relief pitcher, but damn, the upside for the Dodgers was absolutely enormous and widens the gap between the Dodgers and everyone else. Yankees were never in on him despite needing a lefty and Scott's contract night mean they won't be re-signing Williams.

I think we can both agree to fuq the Dodgers.

The Mets are nowhere near them right now. I think we’re a wild card contender at best. Lots of question marks abound. Like last season, lots of things have to go right for us to make the playoffs.

I also think that Stearns is making a mess of the Alonso situation for no apparent reason. The two sides are only $10M apart. WTF?
