Seems obvious the Yankees got Verdugo to reroute to San Diego as part of this deal, right?

I doubt it. There have been so many rumors of the Padres wanting to throw in Grisham and his $5M in the deal with Soto. Why would they want to take Verdugo's larger $9M salary?

Giving up both King and Thorpe for 1 year rental would be painful but the Yankees are also really desperate and likely think they need to get Soto at any cost.

Why not just wait another year to contend?

How many titles do they need? The Rangers could let everyone go now and go another 30 years without a title before I start checking my watch again.

It's this. They already wasted a couple of years of Judge's prime stupidly resetting the luxury tax and who knows how long Judge and Cole will be able to perform at elite levels.

They either are contending for a title or they aren't and they haven't been a legitimate title contender since 2017-18 which is a while ago at this point. No yankee fan cares about the under 500 number.

It's the exact same situation as the Rodgers to the Jets deal PF. lovely GM is completely desperate so he has to overpay for a player to try to save his job despite what the actual market is. Hopefully it turns out better.............
