OT: Official 2022 NY Yankees Season And Post Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two

Future cases and past cases will be resolved before a full spring training. This is different as we are already at 1/3 of the season played trying to figure out this years salary. Plus it's Judge who seems he knows his free agent value. Why would you want to piss off the face of your franchise? You saw what happened to Freeman. Got to free agency and went back home. Judge grew up in the shadow of San Fran as was a big fan of the Giants growing up. And San Fran has tons of money to spend next year.

Can't see how they avoid it now. The fans would revolt like never seen before.
And there goes Stanton....another bomb. Oh yeah, we are playing the Twins. :)
I think management gambled and lost this one. I'm guessing they buck up and just pay him whatever he wants at 8 years worth. He was asking for a lot and really needed to back it up and has so far. Will the contract be a nightmare in years 7-8 or 9? No doubt. But I don't see what else they can do.
Yanks plan has to be wait him out see how his season goes and see if he plays whole year wo injuries.
If he stays on this track and is injury free he gets the keys to the vault$$ and yanks should cave big time before playoffs so no chance at free agency.

I agree it doesn't have to wait until after the season. I don't think he truly wants to leave anyway but why take the chance?
They can’t wait til after the season. If they do they deserve to lose him.
He’s up now bases loaded. HR and the sign him after the game 😳😂
I remember in 1960 Mantle received An astonishing $100,000. Several years later
when he was retired, free agency came along and a reporter asked him if he was a free agent
then and in contract negotiations with George
what would he say to him, Mantle said he would walk into his office and say Howdy partner.

I agree, but I think Cashman realizes he got burned bad by that one year wonder from the Red Socks (can't remember his name,) Then Jeter burned him with the Stanton deal, And burned again with Hicks. I think Brian is a little
gun shy now, but what the hell, we can't risk
losing Judge, if we do it would it would be inexcusable. Personally I believe Aaron is a once
in a life time player.
Judge asked for a 9 year contract. Do you think that is a smart deal? Yankee fans complain about the Ellsbury deal, Stanton deal and the Hicks deal because they were stupid and long term. This is that kind of deal. He's producing more than any of them - yes. But the idea that the Yankees should have just thrown everything he wanted at him is stupid.
None of those compare to to Judge. Judge is a home grown superstar. The face of the organization
Jacoby Ellsbury was a dumb move at any price. He had all of 56 rbi's his last season with the Red Sox and missed half the season the year before. Big red flags missed. Plus how could his analytics numbers be good enough to pay $21+million per?? Red Sox still laughing about that one.
Stanton. Great player terrible contract in $amount and years. No trade contract.
Hicks was a gamble that didn't bother that much. Unfortunately that was the peak of his career and turned out to be a very bad contract.
On the flip side Sabathia contract(s) were worth every penny.
As I said above nobody should be using the comparison of those guys. Nobody in that group is even close to Judge in star power. People pay to see Judge. They buy his merchandise. Yankees fans for the most part hated the Ellsbury deal in part because he was a Red Sox player. Hicks? Was he ever an exciting player? People look at Stanton and think Jeter was clutch again, just not for the Yankees.
Totally fine with the deal they offered. Judge has to prove it if he wants anything more or longer. As of now, he is proving it.
The big problem with Stanton is obviously the length of the contract and he has been injury prone since getting to NY.
As for Production- when healthy, he is in the top 5-10 range in baseball. his 162 game average since being in NY is a .270 BA 86 runs 110 rbi 29 doubles and 39 HR.
He can most likely keep that production another 2-3 years. So hope he is healthy and it helps you guys get another WS win or two.

The Yankees must surely realize that there are any number of clubs that will throw their wallets at Judge the minute he becomes a free agent. The team is doing pretty good with him. I don't wanna imagine what it would look like with an outfield of Hicks, Gallo, and Andujar.
Pay the man.

Meaningless ? Not for me.
Every day that the Yankees win my life is a little better.
Yeah, I know Seattle didn't win the World Series during their record season. And I'm sure it will be a major bummer for me if the Bronx Bombers do get to 117, but fail to win it all. But I'm gonna enjoy every win along the way. I'm lovng the ride. I'll leave it to others to obsess about this ride ending up in a ditch along the way to potentially another championship.
I prefer to win the World Series rather than be the regular season champs. Just make the playoffs. My friend used to make this same argument about football. He would rather go 12-4 every year and lose in the 1st round of the playoffs (think Schottenheimer Chief teams) than a team that sucked some years and would rise up & win the title, go back to sucking and rise up again (think Giants). He came around after a few years knowing the regular season was worthless every year.
Not everything has to be black and white. Winning a championship is the goal and top prize for the team and fans. This doesn't mean winning the regular.season and advancing in the playoffs is meaningless/worthless.
For instance - if the Rangers do not win the Cup this year, was it a meaningless or worthless season?
If Rutgers football has a winning record but does not win the BIG or NCAA Championship, will it be a worthless season?
The Rangers and Rutgers have much different expectations then the Yankeesl As well as successful season that ends with a Championship. Rangers 2, Rutgers 0, Yankees 40 World Series and 27 Championship.
Like comparing a paper plane to F-22 Raptor.
NYY fans expect and deserve better. 2009 was nice, but too long ago. Sadly, droughts happen from time to time.
But never a losing season during these years.
Go back to your Mets Thread a-hole. Keep celebrating 1986, 35 years ago.
Yankees fans will always have the 2000 World Series.....as good as it gets.
Funny hearing a Mets fan talk about how long it's been since the Yankees won it all. Are you enjoying your team's 35 year drought ?
The Mets Thread complain about Yankee fans going to their Thread meanwhile this clown lives on here with constant digs or fake questions. Also knows nothing about winning baseball
