I guess we are back to business. And again screw Brain Cashman, get off your butt and sign someone. Weather it is Freeman or Correa I don't care. Do something? If this what the Yankees have become because Hal is too cheep, than sell the team to someone that will goo all out to win. Let's stop with the Yankees being cheap narrative |

Let's stop with the Yankees being cheap narrative Well who have they signed, tell me? If they comeback with the same team as last season, than you know Hal doesn't care. No in their right mind would look at last season and just keep it status quo. But we will see, I will give them that at least, the off season is not over. |

No in their right mind would look at last season and just keep it status quo. But we will see, I will give them that at least, the off season is not over. This offseason? There was no offseason so let's take it back over the last few seasons 2017 Season: Brought back Chapman for a high deal 2018 Season: Essentially took $300M Giancarlo Stanton contract from Marlins 2019 Season: 5 players on the team making over $17 Mill a season 2020 Season: Signs the biggest contract in MLB history for Pitchers and has the highest AAV for any player in MLB history I don't understand what more y'all be wanting. It is easy to forget that they still have to pay people like Judge, and potentially Gleyber, Gary. Cheap isn't the word. Strategic to frustrating levels yes but if Yankees fans (including myself) are going to act smart let's act like we know how numbers work and luxury tax hits the team. They aren't the Pittsburgh Pirates and I don't see what throwing $300M at another player just to say you did accomplishes. |

Aren't they in on Freeman and Olson right now? Always with the hot takes. |

Gary Sanchez is not an MLB catcher, nor is Torres an MLB shortstop. I wouldn't shed a tear if either one or both of them were moved for Olson. Point is, Cashman (Whom I refuse to give credit to nowadays) has had a penchant for dumpster diving when real impact moves to improve the roster have to be made. He has had a questionable cycle of hugging prospects and then devaluing them through the media (Sanchez, Clint Frazier, etc...), and then acting as if he can't be questioned over the moves (or non-moves he's made.) often passing off the failures of the last few years to injuries or the playoffs being a crapshoot. Everyone knows the Yankees issues; Not enough pitching, piss-poor defense, and an offense that K's too much in the postseason, looking to hit the ball out of the yard. Worse yet, instead of finding creative ways to fix some of these issues, he chooses to go full speed ahead with the same power-baseball mentality. I think some Yankee fans are right to be somewhat frustrated. The Yankees don't need to outspend everyone like the Dodgers, or Steve Cohen was planning to do, but do need to take better advantage of their resources, which Cashman has not been efficient at for well over a decade. |

Which is why I think they should def bring back Rizzo and if they can get Olson who can play OF than even better They are righty dominant and need to get some lefty pop because idk why Cashman thought getting Gallo would help solve issues when he is the embodiment of what has plagued the team |

I hope they take advantage of it. More games at normal times for me in Europe! Maybe a few series in Europe is why? Well, there was the Yankees/Red Sox one in 2019, hopefully we get more once things calm down. |

If it unloads the farm system to get him, then so be it. |

Sponsor logos on uniforms... No, just no. That's the main thing I hate about soccer. I can only imagine the horrors on the Pirates uniforms as Nutting just lets everything on there. |

The Yankees aren't cheap under Hal they're just complacent with how the team will function. Hal knows that the team as is will definitely qualify for a 12 seed playoff, will constantly sell tickets and merchandise due to them being the Yankees so he'll still be making money hand over fist. The issue is we the fans no matter how entitled it may seem to other franchises that would kill for the Yankees level of success want more than a 1st round playoff exit. The team currently is not a serious WS contender and for better or for worse Yankee fans have higher expectations then just settling for good enough and that's why this lack of anything so far from the front office this offseason comes across as annoying

The Yankees don't need to outspend everyone like the Dodgers, or Steve Cohen was planning to do, but do need to take better advantage of their resources, which Cashman has not been efficient at for well over a decade. Yeah there's nothing wrong with the Yankees spending, it's their player development and lack of athleticism/defense that is the problem. Judge has been excellent, but Sanchez and Gleyber have been busts, and they weren't able to sell high on Andujar and Frazier. Hicks since signing the extension is perpetually injured. Regardless, it's mostly been one failure after another. Any success those players have had was short lived. Cashman really likes the boring 3 outcomes style of baseball (K, walk, or home run), and it sucks. They should have signed someone like Michael Brantley last year who is perfect for Yankee Stadium and exactly the type of player they need, but in reality they ended up trading for Joey Gallo during the season. That tells you everything about what Cashman thinks about the lineup. |

The Yankees aren't cheap. You can argue they haven't spent their money wisely, but I think the lowest they've been on payroll is like, 3rd highest in all baseball.
Saying they're cheap is just dumb yo-yo shit that gets you hung up on by sports radio talk show hosts.
