The Wild Numbers Behind the New York Yankees' Historic Start

I like the lineup too.

Steinbrenner has said that he is pretty sure Boone will be back to complete his contract he signed last year for 3 years! Now my Christmas present would be great to have Cashman gone, at least I can hope! Now they are saying Judge is saying that wins, World Series are more important than personal records!

Looks like the Yankees are out of the Judge sweepstakes then :/

I guess have 15 days after the World Series to try to keep Judge! Hope if he goes somewhere, it is not the Dodgers or the Mets!

Severino officially coming back next year. Just read Rizzo is planning to opt-out, which means he probably knows Judge is heading out of town.

[Devlin]

possible payroll for these 3 combined players next year. Judge,Cole,stanton.....$102 million, if they sign Judge to 32-34 million per yr. Still have donalson 37 yrs
LeMahieu, 34, Hicks and stanton 33, rizzo if he stays 33. Too old. Have already stated they won't spend like LAD.

Chapman and Britton are both gone so that's $32 million free.

I would trade hicks and donaldson for players to be named later just to get them off payroll.

[Devlin]

Rizzo opts out. Yanks want him back. I don't know.

[toddgreen]

Rizzo resigns AFTER Judge signs. It's a power play. He's setting his friend up for a payday.

There goes my dream of seeing Joc Pederson in pinstripes. He just accepted SF's qualifying offer.
