Let's hope the Yankees can get a maximum return on investment for Hal, since that's the only outcome the team seems focused on. Or maybe Soto will hit 147 HR or something cool. I don't know. I watched through the 80s and I'm more depressed about this year than any I can recall.

Basically:

This I don't get...... I don't really see how they could be much worse than they were last year.

The worst part of the new jersey is the templating of the names so the Yankees avoid this but LOL @ the sweat stains.

Also, this guy will probably be good.

It’s shocking how much the outfield is improved. Soto and getting a hot series out of Cabrera carried those games.

Also having a dude who is left handed with a great eye and can hit for both power and average is cool.

The rest of the lineup isn’t doing poo poo but 4-0 against the Astros was not how i expected the season to start so whatever man.

The Yankee outfield in September is going to be Soto in left JD in CF and Judge in right.

The one thing the Yankees always seem to get are these Hall of Fame seasons from guys on walk years... Arod 2007 9.5WAR. Judge in 2022 10.5WAR and 62 homers. What is Soto going to do this year?

The Yankees are paying Soto 31 million in 2024 so when they pay him 50 in 2025 it's only a 19 million dollar increase and they have almost 100 million coming off the books from 2024 to 2025.

Anaheim’s stadium is definitely worse than Toronto’s.

And in some ways I liked O.Co better too, if they tore down Mt Davis and did some basic renovations it would be above average.

Stadium's with fake surfaces are at the bottom of the rankings by default.
