Yankees should be all over Yoshida

For as much as everyone’s falling all over themselves to laugh at the Yanks for not having a backup and plan if they lose Judge Yoshida is probably the closest thing to anything resembling a backup plan. Or like breaking the bank on Rodan. Or both. But there’s not a second Judge available.

also get on the Masataka Yoshida train now before it leaves the station, the dude is GOOD. he is extremely liable to sign a sweetheart deal to get to play on the same team as Bryce Harper, though

Is Judge going to put them over the top, because the SF lineup seems pretty anemic? I don't know stuff about the NL.

The Giants have a decent rotation, a lot of payroll space, and the first wave of prospects drafted by the new front office arrives in 2023. They aren't a contender now, but they could be soon. Zaidi's had four years, and the fans are getting impatient. Maybe it's not fair, he hasn't ever been able to fully rebuild because the team keeps playing better than expected, but we missed out on Harper and other big FAs and the fanbase is getting tired of that. LaMonte Wade and Mike Yastrzemski are cool and all but Zaidi is definitely under pressure to sign a star this offseason.

They have to change the composition of the team no matter if they get Judge or not which calls for trades as much as FA signings but Rodon should be a Yankee no matter what happens with Judge if they are really serious about improving the team (they aren't)

Why, just because he got booed at home in the postseason after one of the greatest offensive seasons ever? Maybe Judge Can't Handle New York.

Apparently they were after Abreu hard, offered three years which is why the Astros had to offer 3 instead of 2 + an option.

If Judge leaves the Yankees it will because he wants to play closer to home, he's pissed at Cashman or the Giants offer him more cash, not because he was booed a few times after having a complete no show performance in the playoffs.

The Yankees were never in on the SS class because they have a bunch of middle infield rookies they really like and have been planning to give a look now and abandoning that to sign whatever expensive toy is available out of a panic move is bad management.

Only if the middle infield prospects rot in the minors. If you can't fill the holes you want in FA, you could trade those guys and sign the best players still available ( Carlos Correa and Andrew Heaney)

I know you're just trolling but there is another SS who is a great player available in Boegarts who the Yankees could sign if they were in the SS market (they aren't and probably shouldn't be)

Ya I'm only being half serious at best.

But I also think the Yankees need 3 infielders since Rizzo and Lemahieu are their only good ones and neither should be in the field every day at this point.

You can sign one of those infielders and still play both prospects (or trade one for an outfielder if Judge bolts).

The Yankees should try to dump Stanton no matter what Judge does but I doubt they can find a taker unless they pay like 95% of his contract and Hal isn't doing that.
