Looking forward to being in attendance for today and tomorrow's game.
$80 million 3 year deal. Out clause for the first two years so yes a one year deal unless the same thing happens next off season. Boras is having a terrible off season.
The players are just going to have to accept shorter length deals. It's too debilitating to have a 7-10 year contract on the books when production is minimal. If you could write the money off somehow and not have it count against the luxury tax, longterm contracts would still be a thing. I guess opt outs are going to be in every contract now.
Yep...Chapman with similar deal with the Giants.
Guessing Snell signs yearly next week...at the latest.
Yankees start roster trimming; top prospect among 8 cuts
The Yankees made their first cuts of the spring on Sunday.
Yankees hint at possible role for speedy prospect who’s heating up on offense
The Yankees have a few internal options to provide depth in the outfield if someone gets hurt this season. Then, prospects Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones are poised to settle in as long-term solutions at the position.
There's an interesting article on ESPN for subscribers only about how the Yankees are the most injured team in MLB on average. They created something called the Injury Index and here's the top teams:
1. New York Yankees (Injury Index: 111.5)
2. Tampa Bay Rays (110.2)
3. Los Angeles Dodgers (110.0)
4. Atlanta Braves (106.7)
5. Minnesota Twins (106.6)
6. Houston Astros (105.5)
The average team lost an estimated 5.5 wins above replacement (WAR) last season, and it's the marginal numbers -- above that number -- that start to become a differentiator. The Yankees lost an estimated 14.7 WAR because of IL placements last season, or 9.2 WAR above average. The second-worst figure was the Twins' 5.2 mark.
New York's season-by-season ranking in Injury Index, beginning in 2019: second, fourth, fifth, 18th and first. That 18th-place finish in 2022 was the only year in the calculation when the Yankees didn't post a higher-than-average Injury Index. Perhaps not coincidentally, the 2022 Yankees won 99 games and advanced to the ALCS.

Still Cashman's fault. This team has been overly injury prone for years. But, but, but.....launch angle! LOL.
Well I agree with that. That's what happens when you only sign people in their 30's and everyone is over 6 foot 6!
ESPN’s Michael Kay calls out ‘one of the worst trades’ Yankees’ Brian Cashman has ever made
There was a simple way to avoid this
He isn't the only one. I called it a stupid move the second it was made. However, the worst Cashman trade was Stanton. Nothing will ever come close to that.ESPN’s Michael Kay calls out ‘one of the worst trades’ Yankees’ Brian Cashman has ever made

100%. It has totally handcuffed the team from doing bigger moves because of his salary and lack of position when making a daily lineup.

I feel like a Mets fan. Spring training but the season is already over! :)
Throw in the fact Judge has sat the last couple of days due to spring training fatigue. They don't make players like they used to that's for sure.

That was my first thought about this as well. Boras playing chess while everyone else plays checkers.
