Yoshida has some nice stats offensively.

at age 36-40. If the Yankees contend for the World Series each of the next five years, and maybe win one or two, the amount of money the team will make in paraphernalia, TV viewership, attendance, etc. will far exceed the money paid to Judge during the out years of his contract.
The Yankees  
Beer Man : 12/7/2022 11:02 am : link
Need to change the composition of their lineup. They have too many players that are an easy out, and too many many players that are HR hitters but can't hit above the .220 to .230 range. In the playoffs we saw they either hit the HR or nothing. They need to add some hitters that hit for average and can generate runs when the long balls are not coming. Judge can't be the only player that can.

Pretty sure he has to pay state income tax where he works and is paid, NY not Florida. Not to mention he probably lives in NYC area for more than six months, though he likely claims his Tampa home as his main residence.

The weather in Arizona (where the Giants train) is pretty good, with no threat of hurricanes. He and his wife would live in Northern California during the season (as they do in NY), and therefore be much closer to their parents.



State tax on endorsement and investment income is based on domicile. Judge has a number of endorsements and he's not putting his salary under a mattress.

New York only gets a cut of his Yankee home games' salary.

Not everybody likes the desert and Judge has never lived there. He's on the Bucs' sidelines wearing a Bucs' jersey. Pretty good indicator he has become a Florida guy.


For NY state tax purposes, I believe you only have to own a home in the state and live there for at least 30 days a year to be a resident. Regardless, NY gets to tax half his salary, as would California. The other half is split between all the other places he plays. So as far as his salary, the only portion applicable to Florida is that earned in games played in St. Pete and Miami. As far as endorsements, I assume he has a private entity in Florida to exempt his endorsement earnings from state taxes where he "earns it". But considering his net worth before signing his $19 million contract last spring was just $10 million, his endorsements so far are much less than the money in this deal. Sure that will rise. But Ohtani was tops in endorsements last year at $6 million, and that includes Japan, where he is a god.

If Judge had signed with SF who is to say he might not have been on the 49ers sidelines wearing their jersey next year. It's the first time he has been reported to be at a Bucs game, odd for a star athlete living in the town. How many Rangers and Knicks games have Yankees been seen at over the last few years. His attendance, and wearing a #13 jersey, was his way of thanking Mike Evans for putting on a #99 jersey at a Bucs game after Judge set the HR record. By the ay, I've seen plenty of people move here and become Bucs fans (like the explosion of sudden Bucs fans when Brady signed) while still being fans of their hometown teams.

Judge had also never lived in a hot, humid place like Florida before he did. I can tell you, after a few years of 95 degrees and 95 percent humidity, the dry Arizona air sounds pretty desirable. He could also continue to live in Tampa in the offseason, which would make the endorsement money a wash. For 40 million a year he and his wife could buy winter homes in Tampa for their parents.

Not so. Having his domicile in a state with no income tax also benefits him for every game played in a state with no income tax, not just the ones in Florida.

Every game @ Astros, Rangers, Mariners.

I lived in California for multiple decades and have lived in Florida for the past one. There are a lot of reasons for Judge, with his schedule, to prefer Tampa as his main base.

Benitendi settled in when he was moved to the leadoff spot. They had him batting sixth after the trade and he really took off hitting higher in the order. I think he is a perfect leadoff hitter for this team, great contact and hits the gaps well.

That is correct. I know someone who was an offensive lineman in the NFL back in the 2000's. Professional sports is considered to be entertainment, so therefore the athletes must pay taxes in the states in which they are playing or "performing", if you will. He did remark that they always loved it on the schedule when there were multiple road games in Florida in the same season.

I'm assuming this holds true for the other pro sports, and if that's the case, that's a ton of filing for the duration of those seasons and the multiple trips made to same cities.

Prefer Yoshida as well- OBP machine who has a decent amount of power- and is a lefty bat to boot. In Japan, he walked about 2-3 times more often than he struck out. Even if better velocity and stuff means that it fades to 1:1, that's still outstanding in today's day and age.

Add in the change with defensive shifts, and he could have some serious upside.

And BTW, this statement is simply wrong. You are not subject to NY state income tax if you buy a property in NY and spend 30 days a year there, not even close. The actual standard:

Quote:
You may be subject to tax as a resident even if your domicile is not New York.

You are a New York State resident if your domicile is New York State OR:

you maintain a permanent place of abode in New York State for substantially all of the taxable year; and
you spend 184 days or more in New York State during the taxable year.

He's a strange player. Saw a lot of him being in New England. He should be better than he is.

He does get on base where he proceeds to go station to station. He's got a hole in his swing high and on the outer part of the plate. He has a hard time judging that pitch. He has no power and steals few bases.

There's a reason the Red Sox gave him away and they know him best and KC unloaded him mid-season. He's an ok fielder, not bad, not great. He's a middling piece. Don't expect much or you will disappointed.

I liked the idea of what we were going for with Benintendi, but I'm afraid that, with the injury, the Yankees dole out extra cash for a player who reverts to league average rather quickly.

The word on Yoshida is he's no good in the field. That doesn't sound great either.

True. And my point is that would be the same if he had signed with San Fran. In fact he would have a higher tax bill in the state of California than New York because he would have seven games each at LA and SD as opposed what, 2 games at Citifield against the Mets?

Crazy enough compared to the last few years, I think the staff is almost there. 3rd lowest ERA last year (4th for starters, 3rd for relievers).

If they can add a Rodon, they could be in the running for the best staff in baseball - certainly a top 5 one.

STARTERS
Cole
Cortes
Rodon
Severino
Montas

RELIEVERS
Schmidt / German
King
Loasiga
Kahnle
Holmes
Peralta
Marinaccio
Trivino

--

German has consistency issues but is a very solid 6th starter. Team has good depth for the relievers as well.

--

That's a great group. Obviously banks on the ability to get Rodon.

Offense is really the bigger issue

I’d be worried if Judge had a body like Steve Balboni- but he’s actually a lean chiseled player who carries his weight proportionally. Yes- his knees will wear down over time- as tends to happen playing oF daily. But he’ll likely transition to DH down the road to reduce the wear and tear.

Not so worried about the physical aspects of Judge going forward. I’d worry more about whether the loss of athleticism as he ages affects his bat speed.

Judge is 282 pounds and will be signed through his age-39 season. He'll have a chance to become just the second player ever to hit a home run at 270 pounds or more and at age 37 or higher.

The other was Bartolo Colon.



I’d be worried if Judge had a body like Steve Balboni- but he’s actually a lean chiseled player who carries his weight proportionally. Yes- his knees will wear down over time- as tends to happen playing oF daily. But he’ll likely transition to DH down the road to reduce the wear and tear.

Not so worried about the physical aspects of Judge going forward. I’d worry more about whether the loss of athleticism as he ages affects his bat speed.
The problem is Stanton is here for a bulk of this deal, making Judge transitioning to DH problematic.

Everything is transactional with Hal. Get ready for $40 chicken buckets next season...all joking aside, glad he stepped up and got it done. His dad would be proud today.
So, I guess free medium Pepsis are not in the cards for Yankee Stadium?
