Good lord. I'm middle aged but so terminally online that I see a pic of Ripken hitting a home run at the 2001 All Star game and my broke brain just focuses on the background.



Wait - that guy's doing the "You know i had to do it to em" pose!

I read somewhere that Hal is higher on re-signing Judge than Cashman is. Cashman’s quotes sound a lot like a guy who’s trying to either play hard to get or preempt failure or both.

Hal thinks it's a good idea to give judge 40 million a year and then come back with the same not good enough team that they had this year.

If they've got a lottery now they should let teams trade picks.

Judge is holding Yankees hostage from making any big moves and the Red Sox just not doing anything?

They have to be at $7-8 billion by now because of the brand value and YES Network.

Your regular Steve Cohen type can't put that together.

You got a few of the tech billionaires and Arab royal families!

Forbes says $6 billion and George paid $8.8 million for the team lol.

Cohen could absolutely lead an ownership group to take on the Yankees in sort of a sports parallel of the unification of Seville and Aragon.

My theory for why the Padres are never any good no matter how stacked their roster is that the weather is too nice and makes them too chilled out.
