Yanks didn't have highest payroll last year, and will be under the luxury tax threshold this year.
But, nobody really cares.
If they have an advantage over other teams, and don't leverage that advantage, it's bad business.

A very high impact move for Yankees GM Brian Cashman. He gets the top power hitter in the game for Castro and a few minor leaguers. And the Marlins eat about $30 million of Stanton's contract in the trade, as well.

It was a ridiculous deal, but Florida had no leverage.
Prospects that were given up were nothing.
Yanks farm is still loaded.

When the Yankees take the world series, will Jeter get a ring also?

Shit pitching = no World Series...

Good thing that doesn't apply to the Yankees.

Being Yankees fan must be boring, everyone and their mom is a “fan”
Being a Cleveland Browns fan is more admirable

Now they can pick up Kinsler from my Tigers to replace Castro.

Ahhh....no.
Gleyber Torres.

Killer line up. Judge is a beast and still has yet to reach his prime and Stanton is just starting his prime years. Don’t the Yankees want to go after Trout as well?

He's not available for a few years.
He may be the best player ever. Wish he was on a team that contended.

I'm actually glad that Ohtani chose to play for the Angels because (1) I wanted to see him in the AL, and (2) I wanted Trout to have a better chance at playing in the playoffs.
Who will be booed louder next season ...
Ohtani in the Bronx or Stanton at Fenway?

Fenway.....Yankees found a way to get over it quickly. ;D
Disappointed in Ohtani. He signed with a team that has little chance for the postseason, next year, and the near future.

Christ-mass has truly come early this year.

Good thing that doesn't apply to the Yankees.
yes... you're right.. they have even worse than shit pitching...
-
Could literally be the new Murderors Row for the pinstripes.
Interested to see how this team (with Boone) plays out.
-
Mark my words this guy will be the new homerun rbi mvp in the next 2 years. Any book or fantasy guy put him in ur mix. When u get traded to the yanks mind muscle work crazy in sink. This guy will be the new age bonds canseco sosa with no ped hopefully. Watch him and play ur book and fantasy with him always
-

Lol at shit pitching. Best bullpen in the league, 2nd in pitcher WAR in all MLB in 2017, with Tanaka stinking for a portion of the season.
Legit young ace in Severino.
Tanaka / Gray excellent 2-3.
Montgomery will give 200 IP of league average ball.
Farm loaded with pitching prospects and offseason just beginning and they have the best lineup and bullpen set.
So yeah.

Happy for the posters on here that are fans of the organization but it still must be said...

Have to give it to Tanaka post season though, he’s always been clutch when it counts
Tanaka so far has only one bad season this year

He's not that great other then his home runs he could easily be a bust . I think he will pan out though

He was 4th in OPS. 1st in RBI's. And he's a good fielder.

Crazy to think about their lineup this upcoming season.

Crazy to think about their lineup this upcoming season.
It could end up being a disaster. New coach (with no experience) counting on Stanton and Judge to hit 50+ homers again, and Sanchez to turn into a gold glove catcher, and hit 40 hrs as well.
Expectations in New York.........These new Yankees thrived on being young, and exceeding expectations. Now, the expectation is a World Series Championship.
This ain't your daddy's Yankees.

The Astros, Indians & Red Sox, along with the Yankees, all look like shoe-ins to make the playoffs again.
And then the playoffs are pretty much a crapshoot (once the wildcard winner is settled.)

On the bright side, they do have two titles. They can't take those away.

Greg Bird is an awesome hitter too; can't forget him

Greg Bird is an awesome hitter too; can't forget him
Bird could have a monster year.
Didi, Hicks and Gardner are good as well, with Torres likely to join a few weeks after ST.
Judge and Stanton don't need to hit 50 HR.
It's not about the big three. Too much depth.
Farm system is ridiculous too......

I guess the only silver lining for baseball fans of other teams is that now Bryce Harper probably won't face the decision of whether or not to shave his epic beard (no homo) by possibly joining the Yankees in 2019.
if the choice is between Stanton for big money for 11 more years ... Giancarlo's age 28-38 seasons
vs.
Harper for crazy money for (also say) 11 years starting in 2019 ... Bryce's age 26-36 seasons
then I'd fear more Harper in pinstripes.

Yanks are only getting hit for a 22M AAV on this deal. Harper will be 40M.
They still could add him though..... ;D

unless the Evil Empire won't be giving a damn about the luxury tax, then NY won't be blowing away
other offers that Harper will be receiving, so . . .
Harper can get his $ and be forced to shave his beard
or
Harper can get his $ and keep his beard.
I say Bryce chooses the beard FTW.

Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez give the Yankees power from the right. Bird gives the Yankees power from the left side of the plate.

Yup, Still have not been to a game at Marlins Park. Now there is absolutely no reason.

"giancarlo hits one far-o"

More big names being thrown around at the Winter Meetings. Yanks in talks with Tigers about Michael Fulmer and also Orioles about Manny Machado. Same prospects involved, so they wouldn't be able to pull off both.

Couple things.....the Yankees do have the prospects to get both, but I don't think they're going to willing to part with those like Torres / Florial.
Also, they wouldn't part with anything of value to get one year of Machado. In addition, Machado will likely command 20M in Arbitration, which would severely limit what the Yankees can spend on pitching while staying under the luxury tax cap.
I think the Machado thing is just the Yankees kicking the tires on everything like they normally do, or just them getting linked to everything like they normally do too.
Fulmer, on the other hand, makes total sense for NY, but I don't know what they'd give up. I think Torres, as stated, is untouchable, but a package around Fraizer could happen. I hope they hold onto Sheffield - Law just called him the best lefty in the minors.

Frazier wants multi-year deal

That's what he says, but he also really wants to be a Yankee.
A bunch of other teams are interested. He's a good fit for us (good defense, possible Bird backup), but it probably won't work.

I like the clubhouse part and defense best. Not really enamored with his offense - would rather have high OBP guy to compliment the ridiculous power they already have.

Grape, what do you think of getting rid of Girardi for Boone? Was Girardi's departure due mainly to a clash with Cashman and the front office?
Do you think they picked Boone because he will be a yes man?

Micheal Kay on the YES Network said that Girardi was not loved by the players... respected, but not loved. And he wasn't relaxed enough, and the young players didn't perform well when Girardi was tense

If I were Cashman, I would go balls-to-the-wall after Fulmer and - to a lesser extent - Gerrit Cole of the Pirates. Two of the Yankees highly-touted prospects can most like garner either or in a trade. Machado is not a need at this time; they can resign Todd Frazier for a year to play third base. And if Machado wants to play SS, he's not a good fit in NY.

Yes, but I'm less high on Cole. Fullmer's the move that makes the most sense, provided they don't give up Torres or Florial. If not, the roll the dice with Sheffield maybe and wait for the trade deadline to see what's available.
Andujar can play third if they don't sign Frazier.
Machado doesn't makes sense, given what I said about needing to stay under the luxury tax cap, and his predicted arb #'s. Then again, if the Yankees feel they can get him for prospects they deem expendable, you never know.

The Yankees have overachieved every year since he's been the skipper. He was hamstrung with shitty contracts
to aging if not washed up players. He is obviously an alpha male with a very large brajole'.

They underperformed their Pythagorean record this year by like 10 games.
Girardi's bullpen management / giving player's rest etc, was suspect at best, horrid when at its worst. His often struggled with being able to adapt to situations in real time, a victim of his own meticulous planning. His goof in the ALDS was inexcusable, but icing on the cake.
Like Torre, he started off well and had a decent run, but it was time to go. Yankees have too much opportunity now to have it impaired by his shortcomings.

Plus Girardi changed the batting order every friggin game. That had to be difficult for the young players.

Valid points all around. Fulmer is a bigger chip than Cole. No matter what Cashman does - or doesn't - do now, he has still had a very positive offseason with many improvements on paper. I didn't like the change at manager and felt Girardi was the right guy for this team. But that remains to be seen how they fare with a rookie skipper.

Agree with everything except the Girardi. As I've said, I've grown weary of his in game decisions, but if what the Yankees are saying is true about his ability to connect with the younger players, I believe them.

I think it's downright disrespectful. You should have to rise the ranks (or at least have some managerial experience) before you are just handed the job of coaching arguably the most famous franchise in American sports.
Just a hypothetical, but don't you think a guy like Mattingly would be more deserving? How about the guys managing the minor league clubs? Boone just gets to skip over all of them? I believe they picked him to be the ultimate puppet on a string. The front office will tell him how to run the team.
As a side note, what is your opinion on what Jeter is doing with the Marlins? Marlins fans are hating his guts right now.

Good questions SF, but I disagree.
Right now the front office should have more leeway and trust because everything Cashman touches turns to gold. The went from an old, heavy contract laden team needing a rebuild to a perennial WS contender in less than a year. Anyone with baseball knowledge and familiarity with their farm system knows just how loaded they are. Many regular, everyday players were acquired for the baseball equivalent of nothing.
So, if they are setting themselves up for a run and they want a manager who is in line with their thought process, is a great communicator, respected by his peers, and statistically oriented, more power to them. Why use a guy like Mattingly, who many consider a horrible manager, just because he has "experience".
As for your Jeter / Marlins question, the purchasers of that team inherited 400M in debt, and Loria purposely backloaded the Stanton deal because he knew he was selling and wouldn't have to deal with it. They have to gut the team and start over, no matter how unpopular that may be at the moment. Stanton had them over a barrel with his NTC clause, so they didn't have much choice there either.

There has been whispers about his relationship with the younger players, but I try and look at the overall picture and that team was built to contend in 2018. Girardi had them in the ALCS when they were a surprise to even qualify for the Wild Card. And the core of the team consists of younger players.

Girardi got fired from the Marlins after he won manager of the year. So you know he isn't the easiest guy to get along with.

The players got them there, despite Girardi. ALDS decision was one of the worst I've seen - Pete Carrol not using Lynch type stuff.

His bat speed is legendary.
But NY has a glut of OFs due to Stanton acquisition.
If they could get Ellsbury to waive his NTC, they might be able to make room.
But Garnder / Hicks will control CF.

He's not available for a few years.
He may be the best player ever. Wish he was on a team that contended.
