flexibility, the giants have a
whole lot of flexibility money
to spend and pull up the graphic
of who the Yankees open up 2023
with.
Yeah, the San Francisco Giants
come to Yankee Stadium to open
up 2023 and can you imagine big
number 99 wearing the orange and
black of the San Francisco, they
have The 16 ties payroll in the
game.
So they've got a ton of payroll
flexibility moving forward, it
just gets into this is this how
they're gonna roster build now
because they've showed no
inclination of doing this prior
to this year.
Um, but I mean they didn't have
a good year and they need to
score runs and their outfield
been a question mark, they need
a signature player to, they do,
I do believe he's going to be,
they're going to offer him more
money than anybody else.
I do.
I believe that, which I think is
so overblown the hole he wants
to come home and play.
No, I don't think it's like, I
didn't, not that I had those
opportunities.
I think it's going to be, does
he want to take the most money
or does he want to play in a
place where he's going to go
down?
I think just human nature, you
don't bet on yourself have that
kind of season and then just say
, okay, I'll take the hometown
discount.
No, no, no.
And also I wonder the foolish
arrogant decision before the
season to announce what they
offer judge to put the public to
put the figures out publicly how
that's going to.
I think the other thing is dan
obviously has dealt with this
when you start to go to free
agency.
And I can only speak from my
experiences as a way smaller
scale when you start to call
your agent on a nightly basis.
And he's like, hey the rockies
called or the Giants called, You
never imagine yourself playing
somewhere else and then you
start to hear other teams and
then you're like, oh, that's
interesting.
That's interesting.
So that they've allowed judge to
get to that point where it's
going to get interesting.
You have bought up what's the
percent I agree with you.
It's 50 50 that he's back in.
Think it's that I do, I think
he's going to give the Yankees,
if the Yankees don't resign
Aaron Judge, then they should
just go, people are going to get
mad should just go full life,
full rebuild.
You're not going to rebuild.
But you have to think completely
differently because there aren't
any options on this year's
market offensively to replace
him.
I'm sure there's a lot of other
67 dudes that hit 62 homers,
just, you know, laying around,
they can find some, what do you
think?
Do you think that he's going to
post?
I don't know, I mean he's posted
the last two years.
He's been very durable.
That's what You worry about,
right?
You're going to back it up eight
years at 40 million years and
then he's only gonna play 90
games.
It's a system 31 years old.
You get paid for what you did in
the past, but not what you're
gonna get paid what you do in
the future.
So that's all predictive
analysis and that's that's high
stakes gambling for sure, no
doubt
