Sixteen years...
Epstein's favorite number.
Longest drought in Yankee history.
All the way back to 2009, when Trump's Celebrity Apprentice competition was won by Joan Rivers.
Sixteen years. Yet the owner seems more concerned about the rent he pays on Yankee Stadium.
Maybe the Mets should outbid him and move to the Bronx? The Yankees could move to Tampa and play at Steinbrenner Field. Big savings.
Time is ticking on the careers of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gerrit Cole. This upcoming season may be their last, best chance at a trip down the Canyon of Heroes. Yet the owner was lamenting the high payroll.
I wish IT IS HIGH commenters had been allowed in last week's media Zoom call with Hal Steinbrenner. Here are 10 questions I'd love to hear.
1. Will you ever top the Mets in a toe-to-toe bidding war?
2. Will the Yankees really trade Jasson Dominguez, at age 22?
3. How deeply do you plan to raid your farm system, the team's future, in trades?
4. Are you ready for the Mets, Dodgers, Blue Jays or Redsocks to sign Kyle Tucker?
5. Do the Yankees have a Plan B, in case Anthony Volpe simply fails?
6. Short of him dropping his pants in public, is there anything that would cause the Yankees to fire Aaron Boone?
7. Is Ben Rice the future catcher or first baseman? Do you plan to decide in 2026?
8. Last year, did we see the best seasons we will ever get from Max Fried and Carlos Rodon?
9. With Trent Grisham and Jazz Chisholm, can the Yankees ever be a team that manufactures runs, rather than relying on homers?
10. Are you prepared for the Mets to become NYC's premier team?
