Something tells me that Max Fried is going to end up in Boston and after him who are the big name free agents that are left that would actually help the Yankees?

I get you got names like Profar and Alonso but Profar is not a household big name IMO and Alonso is too streaky.Alonso is a rich man's version of Rizzo so might as well resign Rizzo for a quarter of the money. If they don't get Fried their next option is going to be the empty out the farm system for one or two mid level guys or stick with what they have and maybe squeak into the playoffs and lose to the Red Sox or Houston.

I'm actually pretty elated we didn't sign Soto at the price that the Yankees offered. Guaranteed he has 4 productive years left, and he will cripple the Mets for a decade. Plus having him sign with the Mets ensures the Yankees will never see him in a World Series since there's zero chance that team gets there, with or without Soto. Can't imagine a better scenario, other than the Yankees signing him for 8 years at 30 per, which is 80 AAV after he is injured in year 4.

He's haunting me in my pulls today..

I can't believe Yankees fans are trying to twist the whiff on Soto into a good thing. Prime Soto for 7 or 8 more years - 6-9 WAR a year is huge. That's why the Mets paid him. There is no combination of free agents that will get the Yankees this kind of pure goodness almost guaranteed for this long, sorry. A top 5 hitter in the league that just turned 26 is a true team lifter. An 85 win team without him is a 90+ team with him. For a loooong time. Plus the postseason presence.

Go get your Fried and Bregman and Santander or whatever, any combo ain't making up for Soto. And in 3 years the Yanks will have to go to the well again with some other middle aged good but not great guys already in their decline curve. Not good boys.

I guess we'll have to give up on the next 16 years. See you in 2041.

Did you watch the Yankees at all last season? They were very unbalanced, with Soto gone, they SHOULD use that money to plug the holes they have and they have a chance to actually be a better team next season because of it. The Mets signed him, but they better hope they sign pitching, because that rotation isnt scaring anyone.

[JRX]

Too many people are acting like soto is a 10 fwar player, he's not. He capped out at 8 hitting in front of Judge. He may repeat that, but more likely he's 6-7. It was only 2 years ago he put up a 3.7 fwar season. He got paid as if hrs an 11+ war player. He needs to reach another level to be that. Maybe he will, maybe he starts getting hurt. He got lucky several times last season avoiding injury. In the end, cohen bought him like he was a work of art, price doesn't matter. Are the yankees worse right now, absolutely. We now have to see what they do.

No one is saying that Juan Soto isn't good or impactful. I think everyone is in agreement that Soto and Judge carried the season. We know how impactful this is.

BUT.... the Yanks currently don't have a 1B, 2B, or CF at the moment and we need a SP or two plus bullpen help. If the Yanks would've landed Soto, there still would've been so much work left to be done. There's a very real possibility that the Yankees would've packed it up after that and called the offseason a success.

The only thing us rational fans are trying to do now is figure out how the Yanks can toe the line between filling in the holes with impactful players without committing too much.

They were quickly becoming like 80s Yankees with Mattingly and Winfield and nothing else.

Yes while I wanted Soto, this isnt the NBA. You can't not have a 1B and 2B/3B especially when your SS has a .300 obp. They need help in a lot of places.

What are Yankee fans supposed to do? Go beg Soto to change his mind? Huddle in the corner and cry? Become Mets fan? Maybe using some common sense, move on, and look at what make the Yankees better going forward might be a bit more useful.

Gotta love it when people tell another fan base how they're supposed to feel.

For what it's worth, Cashman was supposed to hop on MLB Network for a brief chat and canceled right before he was supposed to go on. Something might be going down soon.

I've seen tweets that talks with Christian Walker seem to be progressing, and that Max Fried is supposed to make a decision soon. Nothing is reported as imminent or Yankees, but two players we are in on are possibly close.


I really want Fried (selfishly I'd like to see us sign a Jewish athlete) and think Walker would be a nice add at 1B. Solidify the spot, although we don't need more RH bats.

Saw a rumor that it may be a 7 year deal with Max Fried.

Cashman has also confirmed Judge is most likely moving back to right field.
