Yankee management is a pile of shit they are. Going to bring back the same team as last year iook at what other teams have done they all improved themselves the Yankees haven't do shit steinbrenner is happy didn't have to spend any money thats all that matters to him
why dont they just give Bellinger 40 Mill a year for 4 years?
The Yankees are a joke. They've pretty much killed my interest in MLB. I hate Hal Steinbrenner with a passion.
Let someone else Overpay and sign him. They weren't going to win with Belli so make a few trades fir PITCHING!
Even if they get Bellinger, it's the SAME team from last year. Status quo won't do. Last year's team LOST to Toronto.
remember when we got CC and Burnett and said, fuck it – let's sign Tex too? Pepperidge Farm remembers…
Phillies and Jays seem like, real threats for Bellinger. I will also say D-Backs to, since Bellinger is from Arizona.
Why would Hays want to play for the Yankees? They're going to be terrible
these damn trust fund teams signing players for ridiculous amounts making everyone think their babe ruth. 60m a year for tucker? whos MAYBE top 10 but really a top 20/30 player? Now Bo to the mets for 42m? who a year ago no one wanted after having a bad year. If Yankees sign belly its basically running back the same team. Get me to the lockout already. This Franchise is becoming a joke.
How much cope can you fit in an 18 min video
Cashman – Yankees Avenue I’m sorry Bellinger is too much money for me to handle
The Yankees are a third or a fourth place team.
The Yankees are not about winning World Series anymore!! They are a joke
This team isn’t winning a World Series even if we get beli
Belli, 6 yr/33.5mil. Opt out after 5. Get it done. We need Peralta as well. We need both if we wanna beat the dodgers in the WS
Not really… Tucker and bichette signing helps Yankees. Those are two less teams that could afford bellinger and won’t be paying him now. Scott boras will have to tuck his tail between his legs and go back and accept the 5 year, 150 mil deal from Yankees. The yanks have fall back options with jones and Dominguez. They’re not gonna overpay bellinger and they shouldn’t
Shouldn't we be afraid of the Phillies pivoting and going for Belli?
Die-hard #Yankees fan here – and I can say this : They blew it. They really need BOTH Bichette and Bellinger and now with both Tucker and Bichette getting WAY over paid (especially Tucker) someone
will over-pay for Bellinger now (looking at you Mr. Cohen) and then the Yankees will be cooked. No way this team even thinks of winning the division next year, forget about World Series.
I like this guy. Knows his stuff.
This is without a doubt, the WORST off-season I have seen for the Yankees in a few decades.
Yanks mailing it in for 2026.
Yankees don't have enough in terms of players and prospects for Peralta as compared to what other teams like the Mets could offer. Dodgers may not be done yet. Still some rumblings that they may move Teoscar opening the door for Bellinger with a higher AAV than the Yankees are offering on 5 years.
With NY Yankees it always what if … every year for a while now it’s been what if for the Yankees… Yankees if they wanted too would be the dominant team in baseball but the Yankees are fucking around.
Great. We’ve got a shit bullpen with no one besides Bednar that can be trusted, a starting rotation that has so many questions and that couldn’t even get to the 3rd inning against the Jays, an offense (even with bellinger) that goes ice cold for months at a time. And Peralta would be the saving grace? lol..fuck me. I will have a very hard time even watching this team this year.
The Yankees are not serious people this is not a serious organization
The only way this will change is if the seats stay empty at Yankee Stadium and we all know that's not going to happen
Poor kid doing mental gymnastics trying to be positive with the Yankees shity lineup…
And a crapshoot on the pitching we have no idea what kind of condition Rodon or Cole will be in….. I hate to say kiddo this teams going nowhere
Everybody knew the assignment Boston La the Mets Toronto even the Orioles …you know who didn't know the assignment? the Yankees…. this lineup is so bad ..if we lose judge the whole team collapses…. Dodgers lose Otani they still win the World Series…. Scott boras outplayed Brian Cashman yet again…. once again as previously stated this is not a serious organization!!
If I were Judge, I would ask to be traded. He never will.
No way we should pay Beli 40 million dollars. No way! Bo at 3rd? 😂😂
If they disagree on years (5 AOT 7) can they compromise at 6?
Yankees need belinger and Peralta
Not thrilled for this season at all. No point because the dodgers winning anyway. I feel for judge for being in a franchise who has a owner and GM that doesn’t care about winning. Smh
It's over man. Even if they get Bellinger, that won't win the World Series. The Dodgers will win 2 -3 more World Series in a row. It's how MLB wants the game played. Much to it's detriment.
one player doesn’t make a team. The angels had Ohtani and Trout and couldn’t do anything with it. Signing a terrible contract that will hurt the Yankees for 5-7 years is not even close to being worth being slightly better during one players prime, especially when acquiring Bellinger blocks young players and still only makes the Yankees the third best team in the AL east, at best, with the Orioles realistically in contention for that spot.
No pressure. The fans should go out to the Stadium, buy the beers and eat the hotdogs and watch mediocre Baseball.
Boras has been pumping Toronto's tires latley… Seems like he has pretty good relationship with their front office
Didn't the Blue Jays (whose CEO actually owns an entire Telecom Company ~ not just one channel) want/lost-out on an outfielder with a left-handed bat? Just sayin ~ don't count on Belli landing back in the Bronx.
🌨️ 🤔 ☕☕ ⚾
I want belli to sign with the dodgers, it would be so funny to see another 4 year $240 million deal
Your optimism for more moves to better the team is a complete joke. Bo was a great option it walked away. Imai walked away for free!! He was the easiest to get. Yankees doing nothing ill bet your channel to shut down they don't make it to 3rd place. They lose you quit!
crazy shit is… after we over pay for Bellinger, we're only as good as we were last year. sad state we're in
So because it’s the Mets we shouldn’t feel thrilled but dodgers overpaid for a player who can’t hit can’t play defense and is slow they’re automatic winners got it
