Taillon for 68 is a way better value than Walker getting 72.

I am so incredibly happy Judge is back. I woke up and read the notification from The Athletic and it felt like I had just gotten a massage, I didn't realize how wildly stressed I was from the Heyman saga last night.

Walker’s coming off a year that looks pretty fluky to me. Taillon’s been relatively consistent when healthy.

Happy for Judge especially after the Yankees tried to publicly shame him for not taking their offer before the 2022 season.

Now they just need a $300 million payroll to get out of the rest of the mess Cashman created.

Looks like those leaks yesterday were definitely from Judge's camp to get the Yankees to raise their offer. And good for them for getting payback on the Yankees for going public with the extension offer this past season.

The Yankees are just not a well run baseball team. They are CONSTANTLY overpaying for players. I can't remember the last actually good value deal the Yankees signed. And you could say that they should just do exactly what the Braves do with their young players but that would imply that they have any good young players worth keeping around for any period of time younger than Judge which they don't. (Other than a few RPs)

San Diego press reporting that Preller and Seidler met with Judge at the last minute but never put out a formal offer and didn't even consider themselved close, which tracks and is starkly different than Turner. Maybe just theatre to show Manny they'll continue to be aggressive in advance of his optout next year?

A shocking turn of events for the team that mere months ago could have easily put together the best package for Soto (without touching many top prospects) if only they weren't small time losers and instead cared about winning.

Yeah, from Acee at San Diego Union Tribune:

quote:

They were in on Aaron Judge. Not in for very long. But in.

Their meeting with Judge — Tuesday night in their home ballpark — was late enough that they didn’t actually make a formal offer to the right fielder.

They were far more in on Judge than they were on Bryce Harper, who a contingent from the team visited in Las Vegas in 2019. They were far less in on him than they were on Trea Turner, who they visited with twice last month.

Judge ended up agreeing to remain with the Yankees for nine years and $360 million, a record deal that became public Wednesday morning. The $40 million average salary is the highest in MLB history for a position player.

The Padres weren’t close to getting Judge. But the fact they tried is absurd enough.

Jansen rebounded last year but as is with most relievers the cliff could be right around the corner given his age. He isn't what he was a few years ago obviously, but his stuff is still good enough to get the job done most of the time even if he will make you sweat it out

The Red Sox having another star player leave while signing some pitcher that will fall off a cliff or get injured like the rest of their staff is just a thing I guess now.
