The legitimacy of what record - having like the 10th most home runs in a season?

I'm predicting a bounceback year where the Cubs move him at the deadline for some team's #5 prospect

I'm not saying the org knew about it, but it would explain why they are so shy about going all in on their generational talent that is also the face of the franchise after a historic offensive season. Also makes you wonder what else the league has done to put their thumb on the scale for NYY. (I mean besides helping them coverup their 2015-2016 sign stealing scheme whereby they would use video to steal catchers signs whenever they had a runner in scoring position both home and away, going so far as to allow them to anonymize their fine in the form of "Hurricane Sandy" relief. )

I’d love to see Bellinger have a big bounceback season with the Cubbies. I hated to see how he went down after that MVP season.

Worst case is the Yankees bringing back the same team as the last 2 years, not losing Judge.

do you think the Goldilocks balls will go with Judge to his new team or will they have to pay MLB extra for that?

You see the Yankees are America's team so when they cheat it is cool and good, much like all the times the US has overthrown democratically elected governments

look again, they clearly put livelier balls into Yankees games, particularly in September, to help ensure Judge got to 62

The Goldilocks balls aren't the juiced balls though. They're the "not lovely" balls they use in games that matter (and Yankees games, apparently).

They're deader than the juiced balls from 2020, but they're more live than the "dead ball" that everyone else used in 2022 (unless they were playing the Yankees)

I like the Bellinger signing. Worst case, he's a plus defensive outfielder and they burn some money in a year where they've got money to burn. Best case, he figures out his mechanics and he's a potential MVP candidate.

Cubs fans have some experience watching a plus defensive outfielder lefty who might just be able to hit again maybe, hopefully.

I wanted Bellinger - he could fill that Marisnick role as a defensive sub or slot right into our much more sophisticated 2022 sign stealing system ensuring he'd regain his MVP form that mysteriously disappeared in 2020

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.

The last point was mentioned on NY sports radio as the possible mentality of fans if the Yanks lose out on Judge and the Yanks deal and the other teams deal are relatively comparable

"only turned up at Yankees games and marquee events like the postseason or games using balls with commemorative stamps"

lol they were literally giving only Judge juiced balls the last few weeks of the season every PA.
