    Maybe. It could also just be the steady decline in Bregman's offensive output since his outlier year in 2019.

    That seems like a really light return for bellinger plus cash

    That 2nd year for Bellinger is a big risk. If Bellinger is terrible or hurt, he will be owed $52.5M/2yrs, if he’s awesome then he will get $27.5M and be gone. So a lot of downside and minimal upside.

    I guess this means Breggy will be in Boston.

    They also lost MVP-type Soto, their #2 SP Cortes, and All-Star Holmes (not to mention a whole bunch of pending free agents). Are the Yankees better than they were 2 months ago?

    Cortes isn’t their number 2
    I also think they’re not done and are already better than last year.

    I can’t shake the feeling we are punting on this year and will reload after the money comes off the books from abreu, montero, pressley, etc

    The Cubs just raped the Yankees.

    No wonder Brown wasn't able to get him !!

    Basically Yankees gave away J P. France for the honor of paying Bellinger $25M this year.

    Then if He is good and healthy, they pay him $2.5M to leave.
    If he's bad or hurt, they pay him $22.5M for 2026.

    Now looks like Santander to the Yankees at least the internet is saying so and that he followed the Yankees on IG

    Can't wait on Bregman forever to pursue other things, Astros need to move on if he's going to drag this out.

    The Yanks have a far superior SP rotation.
    A far superior Bully
    The MVP and a decent lineup that's probably better than the Astros.

    Astros better at C, 2B, 3B, DH
    BP and SS is a push
    Yankees better at 1B, RF, CF, LF, and in the rotation

    If Astros add 2 bats they’ll be on par with the Yankees.

    I doubt there’s a plan B (unless they go full rebuild after realizing they’re only in a position to compete due to a weak division?)
