I think it's all based on Hal's directive not to spend more money. I would call the starters unproven with potential though.

Speculation. They've already exceeded the threshold this year but I don't think he wants to enter the next level financial penalties if they exceed the next level. I believe there's 3 levels now.
I do have a question for Yankee fans. With your current team, one would think a power left handed batter that could play an above average OF would be a great get. What do you think is really holding off on you guys making a deal with Conforto? He actually could be a great fit for your team? Is it the off year, some health concerns or that he most likely wants a short term deal and you have to give up a draft pick?
A 251 million dollar payroll. Draft pick is probably 2nd.
Yes, just. 141 other games. Also, everyone should have Amazon Prime now. The NFL is streaming Thursday night games on AP starting next season.
Any game that was set to be televised on prime or sling last year was blacked out unless it was an away game. Frustrating as hell. And this was for both NY teams
I didn't know that was possible.
We actually have Amazon prime.....for deliveries.
About two dozen games available only on Amazon Prime TV and nowhere else, including most bars (who don't subscribe to Amazon TV).
In the short term, this would be of benefit to the Mets who have new ownership, a roster with great possibilities, and now a couple dozen open dates to showcase that. Some Metro-area baseball (and Yankee) fans who are not of the "hate the Mets" fandom will satisfy their baseball interest with checking out the new New York Mets at the expense of the Yankees.
Of course, if this Amazon Prime thing becomes the wave of the future, the Mets will jump right in with the Yankees. So as someone who has no interest in Amazon TV or any streaming service for sports, I hope this fails. But I'm not betting the house on it.

If you have AP for deliveries, you have AP for video and TV! We have Comcast/Xfinity and our cable box has direct access to many streaming apps.....like AP, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.
If you have cable, you likely have the same access. Otherwise, do you use a Roku stick or have a smart TV with Roku services? If yes, you have access to AP Video app.
Thanks.
My wife tells me there's a jack on the back of our tv that the installer said was for just such a purpose. She doesn't remember right now where the cord is for it though. We have tvs and computers on multiple floors, so if I get motivated I may go downstairs and try to figure it out.
We'll see. As you said, it's just 21 games.
Thanks again.

If you have a Smart TV with Roku etc. you can search for the Prime Video App and download it. Some TVs come with it already installed. If not you can purchase a Fire Stick for like $29 and plug it into your TV HDMI port. It will come with Prime and other Apps pre loaded. All you will have to do is log on through your Amazon Prime account.
More than fair, if true:
I agree. Youth is not on his side, nor is his injury history. Fortunate for him, he had a full year last year for the most part. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have gotten this much.
Yankees postpone Opening Day game against Red Sox

Aaron Judge is smoking crack if this is true.
Judge's representatives wanted a nine-year deal in excess of the average annual value of Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout's contract, which comes to $319.6 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said, speaking on condition of anonymity because Judge's stance was not made public."

Now there clearly is a middle ground to complete this but it will have to be at the end of the year. A roll of the dice for both sides, but I think Judge won't stay healthy this year.

Judge, Yankees fail to agree to long-term contract
Far apart from the New York Yankees on a long-term deal, Aaron Judge carried through his promise to cut off talks when the first pitch of the season was thrown. Starting perhaps his final season with the Yankees, Judge was 2 for 5 with a double as New York railled for a season-opening 6-5...

HELL NO on that type of contract. Would be happy to let him walk.Aaron Judge is smoking crack if this is true.

Agreed, he's the face of the Yankees at this point. He walks and its a more or less a roster of journey men.
