I honestly don't care what it costs to sign Soto. The guy is a generational ballplayer and goes out and balls everyday. The Yankee Logo prints money. We were forced to endure Stanton and we all know enough without bringing it up. I want to root for Soto and Judge back to back for more than 1 season.

I don't care what it costs the Yankees to re-sign Soto, if it's within reason. |

Grisham is going to get more playing time.

Grisham is going to get more playing time. I'll take that production out of the #9 spot with stellar defense at a defensive position and giving Judge some "half days". If he can settle in and play to a .750 OPS, you offer him a contract for 2025 and don't pay Verdugo. |

I'd like to see the Yanks mix Soto into the DH mix, mainly because Judge in RF is a big improvement. |

DHing Soto once or twice a week to both give him a rest and improve the level of the outfield defense makes so much sense in my opinion. |

I'd like to see the Yanks mix Soto into the DH mix, mainly because Judge in RF is a big improvement. Me of the issues I have with a Soto re-signing is that we must “accommodate” him. He doesn’t like to DH. He takes right field and Judge takes what’s left over. I don’t think Soto is demanding any of this, but the nature of the roster does… |

Soto hasn’t been a horrible RF, at least not to the point that his metrics would make you think. Yet, he’s no better than average. DH time makes sense for him. It should be a mandatory part of him playing with the Yankees. If he doesn’t like that, then maybe he won’t fit long term… |

He's not Marcus Thames unimpressive, but far from Judge out there. |
