2023 is THE year to go all-in

presume he'll get about 7-8 years at about $37 mil per.  AAV could be higher.  Probably would have to be to outbid the Yankees.  So it likely takes 8/320?

Even if a new owner was in place with some big baller budget, I still don't think I'd go after him.

People used to use that phrase a lot here 10ish years ago. But once it became clear that albatross after albatross contracts actually hampered the team's ability to improve itself, that phrase began to dwindle as people realized that excessive spending did impact the performance of the team.

 

Tell it to the Dodgers and Yankees, how spending big hurts the team.

If the Angels are bidding, it will be just like with Cole. Use the Angels to bid up the Yankees offer.

Would this really be a bad thing?

Not at all. Just a waste of time to go after him, when you know he will be a Yankee.

[Tank]

I think I’d make a serious offer to him.

But I’d rather have Correa tbh.

[Lou]

No, we have plenty of guys that can strike out and hit meaningless home runs.

I like how you talk about this as if you have no control over the matter. I'm sure you're already lining up some lunch meetings.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Sure why not! he'll kust be another 37mil  Pujols, Hamilton and Rendon.

or we can sprend that 37 mil around, add a closer, above average hitter or 2

If I had to put money on Yankees or “The Field” I’d choose The Field with Judge. 

[tdawg87]

Judge would come here and hit 21 homeruns.

But he'd still be a massive upgrade.

You don't often see guys get to this point and re-sign with their current team.....kind of like everybody thought Freddie Freeman would re-sign with the Braves.....

When have we ever gone wrong with high priced hitting talent and zero pitching?

And we'd still have a losing season with 3 stars and the Bees.

We have zero pitching?  That’s weird.

No, he would come here and get hurt and be on DL list

Look on the bright side, if he stays healthy and plays a full season we can watch him set the strikeout record

This may not be a popular opinion, but they should try to get Benintendi. We have enough guys who strike out 100+ times/year. He doesn't hit homers any more, but he gets on base. That's something they need at the top of the order. 

[Blarg]

Judge 0-4 again tonight.
