Three days from now, baseball teams can begin to make deals again.
The World Series is over, and a fine team won. Also, a fine team lost.
The Yankees were neither of them.
But we have reason for optimism.
The Core Anchor of our team is locked in place for seven more, endless years. You think 2020 was a miserable year? Being a Yankee fan for the next seven seasons will be highly similar.
Hal Steinbrenner " jumped the shark" when he gave away Starling Castro ( and more ) to acquire the MVP Giancarlo Stanton. He was conned, swindled and undressed like a drooling idiot.
Unlike the Dodgers who...no matter what...got an MVP season, and world championship, from adding Mookie Betts....the Yankees got a lot of time on the injured list, a ton of non productive at bats, and a wild card win from adding Giancarlo. And that may be our last one.
But it is HE ( Giancarlo) around whom we shall now re-build. ( Oh, right. The Yankees don't do that. They re-tool ).
There is no other choice.
Hal is obsessed that he doesn't have enough $ billions. So the $25-30 million due each year to our building block ( almost enough in a single check to pay the entire salary of the Tampa Bay Rays ), is like wearing a huge rock around ones neck, dragging you down to the bottom of the sea.
Start with Giancarlo. And re-tool from there.
Drown slowly or drown fast.
I wonder if Hal was surprised Giancarlo didn't opt out of his contract?
I mean, he must be a smart business man, right? How else would he have all that money?
hal, cashman, and boone= not coming close to a world series anytime soon......
ReplyDeleteStanton is the albatross we wear around our necks.
ReplyDeleteAs for Hal,
'The man hath penance done,
And penance more will do.'
What Minor League Baseball will look.like going forward is the most interesting question this off-season.
