the return of pitchers hitting has reminded me how satisfying it is to watch this man take an AB (oddly enough that photo is from 2020, apparently the cubs were getting owned so badly that ross sent him out as a PH because he figured he'd rest his bench guys)

That article is upfront that there were never serious talks and Cashman's always been a "no one's unavailable, let me hear your offer" kind of GM. Judge is the most popular Yankee since Jeter. He's a top 10 superstar when healthy. If he's unhealthy his value is gonna be low. I have a hard time seeing him not staying a Yankee in the short term at least. The Yankees just started playing well so people needed something new to be fatalistic about.

They won 4 out of 5 and started looking decent and suddenly there's a new "trading Judge" nonsense story for people to yell about. I just watch baseball games because I enjoy them.

When I think of what the Angels have been missing for the past decade, Aaron Judge is exactly who comes to mind. Trade the farm for him Arte.

No matter what happens this week the Stanton disaster contract will make them have to trade Judge. That was true even before they started out this season badly.

I fundamentally disagree that it makes anything inevitable just because its a possible scenario, and some really empty clickbait headline article about that time Cashman didn't seriously shop Judge doesn't change that for me.

You think they are going to pay 2 guys who will be DH's in the near future ~70M per year and that is either A. reasonable to stay under the tax cap with or B. a good way to build a team?

I think Judge is too valuable a player to make it a purely financial bottom line decision for the richest team in the league, and Judge being a DH in the near future is yet another "true because I say it" assumption from you. Certainly its a possibility and if it gets there it will be a problem, but I can't imagine the Yankees trading Judge pre-emptively because it MIGHT happen down the line. That's a hard sell with a fanbase that as you well know is always sharpening their teeth to attack anything and everything, and potentially disastrous baseball move. Which isn't to say that I think its impossible the Yankees might trade Judge. But I see no implication of this from the silly article you posted. That article only exists to get people histrionic.

That's a hard sell with a fanbase that as you well know is always sharpening their teeth to attack anything and everything, and potentially disastrous baseball move. It's completely reasonable to assume that Judge, who is already almost 30 and can't stay healthy, won't be able to stay healthy playing the field every day for much longer. I also think it's reasonable to be upset about the awful way this team has been built that would force them to trade a guy like Judge.

Nothing is forcing the Yankees to trade Judge other than Hal being cheap.

Yeah I think the yankees should blow through the cap but they clearly aren't going to and Hal isn't selling the team. Also, they have been spending 200M a year for a decade and should have a better roster than this.

Judge does have a very good throwing arm. It could work itself out.

Sydin posted:Because hitting is impossible. Certainly in this day and age, with how loving absurd pitching has gotten, being a good hitter is arguably one of the most impressive sports feats possible. I like to poke fun at Willians Astudillo but the guy hammered a neck high fastball for a home run on Friday. Absolutely insane.

if your sign is lovely enough that the hitter can see it without even looking round then you deserve to get your pitcher lit the gently caress up

Braves got utterly wiped out in a home doubleheader against the Dbacks today, managing one single hit in 14 innings without coming even close to scoring a run. The second game in particular (with the Braves' supposedly stronger lineup of the day) was over before the Braves even came up to bat, and it would've been a 7-inning perfect game if not for one error that got immediately cancelled by a double play. Pretty clear something's gonna have to give.

The pitching hasn't been there, except for Anderson, and the offense didn't look like it gave a poo poo today. Ozuna came crashing down to earth after last year and Swanson's never going to be the guy he's capable of being.
