I would keep Flexen as the fifth starter and go all in on FA SS Bell and trade for Reynolds...

I'd go Judge, Bell, give the 5 to Hancock then make the trade for Baez to join the middle infield for the same $'s you're spending.

Might be moot. Heyman says pundits are saying Judge is “more than likely going to stay in New York”.

More than $300M. Can’t see the M’s topping that.

I could see the Yankees being the best offer. They wouldn't have wanted Maris to sign somewhere else the next year for 10 years and being remembered as anything other than a Yankee. They have another new legacy to protect now.

The 2022 CBT Threshold is $230,000,000. The Yankees - with their active roster - are around $208M.

I don’t know what’s coming off the books next year, but they seem like they could afford him and still be pretty close.

Then again, when have the Yankees ever given a flying fuck about the luxury tax?

They've been trying in recent years to stay below the threshold.

Yeah. But it’s Judge.

I can see them signing him and trading away some bigger contracts if they’re that worried.

Spotrac has them at 150 mil committed for 2023 right now, but there are a whole bunch of arb guys listed there as well. Gleyber is Arb 3 and I don't think they like him a whole lot, so he might be a guy to target in a deal.

I doubt they will be the best offer - the problem is they will be close and a team may have to blow their offer out of the water to make him sign with them. If its 275mill with the skanks and 300mill with somebody else he will re-sign with the skanks. A team in that position is going to have to go 350 or something like that.

I can’t see the mariners topping The Yanks offer…He’s gonna retire in pinstripes

I don't think the Mariners will even be in the conversation with Judge.

Oh great, more drooling.

Turner and Swanson. Xander is my guy.

I'm with you all the way on this one. We agree, Xander is my first choice as well.
