Judge - .063 vs Houston, .139 for the 2022 post season, .211 career post season.
He is going to be 31 next year and shot his wod, had his career year this year.
Do you really want to give this guy 400 million?
The problem is the front office sucks so bad I don't trust them to rebuild on the fly.
I think he starts at 8 years 40 millions a year, and then the teams will bid against each other.
Problem for the Yankees is if you give him that kind of loot, what will the team look like in 5 years with Cole, Stanton, and Judge all now in their mid to late 30's making a combined 100 million plus on the payroll. How can they be competitive?
The Stanton trade and the Cole contract are a bad optic. They basically bid against themselves for Cole, should have known more about the sticky stuff before you give out a contract like that. I don't have time to find it, but I wrote back a few years ago I would have rather had Wheeler over Cole. I think he got 90 million and I am going to guess his numbers are pretty close or better than Cole's since they both signed that year.
I don't have the time to compare them, but it would be cool to see.
Cashman has had too many oopsies and is the reason for their continuing quagmire type offense and playoff ousters.
Hal needs to man up, but we know he won't. He all about the $$$$, not about the fans or the team.
