^^^^ I would be down with that

I'm guessing Rizzo was one of the players that complained about the fans booing Judge

That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

You just posted a link to a rival player saying some of the tamest poo poo talk imaginable. Any other fan base this doesn't even register.

This will probably be front page news on the New York Post tomorrow and he'll be boo'd next year as this is permanently seared into Yankee fans memories.

Judge played like poo poo in the playoffs and he got booed. He also has been great for the majority of his career and has been cheered thousands of times. I saw yankee fans boo Jeter or Rivera, first ballot hall of famers and the vast majority of the time they are worshiped here. If you have that thin a skin then maybe this isn't the fanbase for him and he should go to the Giants.

Sounds like a miserable fanbase to play for yeah.

He could obviously still re-sign with the Yankees, just wants a longer term contract.

The Yankees still should've signed Freeman who is a vastly better player than Rizzo but I would imagine they will give Rizzo something like 20mm per for 2-3 years which is an overpay.

No. He's 31 years old, just had the best year of his career that he's very unlikely to repeat and the Yankees have proved that they aren't good enough WITH him on the team so I can't see them signing him and then also doing what is needed to make the rest of the team as good as it needs to be to make the world series.

Look I'm just saying it's great to be a Yankee as long as you never fail in any way otherwise you deserve to get poo poo on even if you hit more than 60 homeruns and come just short of a triple crown

If you have a terrible playoffs like he had you're going to get booed no matter what happens in the season. Yankee fans expect to win in the playoffs.

Yeah Astros fans have been ripping into Yordan at home this post season for a mediocre performance.

Oh wait we're actually nuanced (Yes even the Trashtros fanbase understands this) enough to not boo someone for a sample size of four games. Only entitled manchildren do that.

OK good for you. That is the difference between a franchise that has won the world series 27 times and one that has won it 1* time.

Yankees getting 1 more is preferable to the Astros getting any.

Sadly mcmagic was right and the team was actually good, not great, and their record was carried by an unsustainable run of healthy pitching.

If Aaron Judge were on a team of winners, like the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies, perhaps he’d have a World Series ring. Alas, he’s on a loser New York team.

Yankees fans outside of nursing homes throwing out the 27 rings is the baseball version of Boomers claiming to have won WWII, I'm old as poo poo and I've only been alive for 7 of them. When I first got into baseball the Yankees were the trash team in NY that had only put together a good team after their buffoon owner was suspended for sending illegal contributions to Richard Nixon. In hindsight we should have all known the Yankees would get great again when Steinbrenner ate another ban for hiring some scumbag to dig up dirt and ruin the reputation of a future hall of famer. The Yankees haven't been anything other than just another team (albeit with a few good runs a lot of fandoms would still be ecstatic about to this day) since JFK had a full skull.

In short: the Steinbrenners are the Mark Zuckerberg of MLB- when their one weird trick of "Acquire everything" stops working they show you just how little else they have to offer. When I hear "If George was alive today..." the only honest answer is "He'd be awaiting trial for his role in January 6th" or something equally as stupid.

You're kinda being a dick but yeah Aaron Boone is a major, major problem with the Yankees. As an Astro fan I'm thrilled he'll be back but that's such a horrible idea I can't help but lol

Hot take however annoying you might think McMagic is he's absolutely right the Yankees aren't winning any time soon with Cashman and Boone in charge.

But equally this level of not overspending and almost being good enough is exactly what Steinbrenner Jr. wants so...
