Much more convenient to the Yankees' organizational setup than the Giants'. No state income tax. The winter weather in Florida is better than California, and players are on the road during summertime anyway.
All more pertinent than the storyline of Judge having grown up in California.
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.
The Yankees kind of had to do it. You do wonder about his health long-term. As a Red Sox fan, I get sh-t from friends about the Mookie Betts trade, and since they didn't get much back in that trade (Verdugo, an average player), it's kind of similar.
Chaim Bloom and the Sox seem to be against these gigantic deals. I'm kind of against them, but the Sox are gonna want to keep Devers and that will be a crazy deal. We'll see what happens. But these deals north of $300M are really crazy. The Yankees will be paying for this for a long time, but maybe Judge can lead them back to the promised land. We'll see.

I live in Mass. as well, and as folks know on here, Yanks fan. The Sawx will never go to this level of spending on one player, just John Henry for you. I am actually surprised that Hal went to this level of financial outlay to keep Judge...After Jon Heyman jumped the gun (he should be embarrassed today), and that Time article on Judge,
I thought he was going to San Fran. The back end of this contract is probably not going to look good...
The Yankees problem is scoring runs against top pitching in the playoffs because of their lack of being able to put the ball in play and take advantage of situational hitting. No team is going to hit four or five bombs against the league's top pitchers in the playoffs. This team's K rate with no out and a runner on second is terrible, especially in the playoffs. The over-emphasis on analytics (always try to hit a home run) ruined Sanchez and Torres. I suspect we'll see more of that in the future (Volpe?).
Give me eight guys who all hit .280 with 20 home runs or more and the Yankees prospects of getting past Houston improve immensely.
That is not the Bungler's pet theory. He is three outcome baseball.
Exactly. It's a theory that can get you to the playoffs by feasting on bad pitching, but is a recipe for never getting the trophy. I suspect Hal is more concerned with getting to the playoffs every year (for the added revenue) than he is with winning the World Series, and that is likely what he has mandated for Cashman.
I am the one with the information that Judge does not like Cashman and he obviously doesn't. I made it clear that I had no idea where he was going. So, you sound unhinged.
Lol, try not to trip on that backpedal.
Backpedal. I am not backpedaling at all. Look at the thread from yesterday, but I guess I won't give info that I stumble onto at BBI anymore, just like last year when I broke the Judge wanted to team with Abrams the day as a way to save himself 24 hours before NFL insiders broke it on TV. You can say what you want, but if you look at the thread yesterday I had never said he was going to leave the Yankees; in fact, I said I 1000000% had no idea what he was going to do.
But ok. I will keep my info to myself from now on. Lesson learned
I've said in the past, I'd be okay if he left (and wouldn't blame him for leaving) and I'd be fine with him staying. No problem with the contract, but now it's time to deliver in the postseason. That's not asking for much.
That man should be embarrassed today! He is a long time baseball man, like a Joel Sherman for example. He's not as good as Joel, but you all know what I mean. Heyman wanted to jump out there to be the first to report on the Judge signing.
Why do folks continue to do that, then get it wrong...

I'm not sure these deals are as bad as one thinks, provided the player is still producing at the end of the contract. 40M in 2033 will look a lot different than it does in 2023. Remember, most of us old timers were aghast at Catfish Hunter receiving a five-year deal worth about $3.2 million, along with a $1 million signing bonus in the winter of 1975. Think it was actually NYE when it was completed.
So who's more likely NOW for the Yanks, what say you folks?
Nimmo or a Rodon, I would go for Nimmo, he can play LF for the Yanks. Bader is too good in CF to move him. I would be leery on Rodon, don't want the Yanks to give him a 5 or 6 year deal.
Somebody help me out on Nimmo, how come he doesn't steal any bases, he has speed, has a high OBP, so how come?

I get that and appreciate it, but I specifically said that he doesn't like Cashman. I did not say he was going to sign here. I think the Time Magazine article backs up that assertion. My info was not proven incorrect because he signed here when I specifically cautioned that I had no idea what he was going to do.
them to pursue Benintendi. Bader, Judge and Benintendi is a pretty strong OF.
Very strong defensively, but also means probably a return to a more traditional looking lineup. The offense could end up being better. Those two guys bat 1-2 or DJLM 2, Judge 3, Stanton/Rizzo 4-5 (depending on whether you want to break up the righty bats), Torres (if he's still here, DJLM, Trevino, Peraza. Cabrera on deck as a sub in the OF, 3B, SS, 2B and maybe 1B.
It has 7400 hit and conversations are still occurring in it. So if its alright with you I will leave it open, otherwise if that doesn't work for you, then don't open it.
I rather have him than Benny myself. I don't know why people want Benny back. He is now a singles hitter, not the type of hitter he was with Boston. He makes contact, but a lot of SOFT contact. He hit 5 HR's last season, want more than that from a LF myself. He hit .251 for the Yanks before his injury, with a lot of soft contact, I'll pass.

After Dumb brow ski saddled JH with a Price, and even worse Sale contract, Betts was unaffordable , and they were fortunate to find a buyer.
I have no idea what they are doing there( maybe the Penguins are JHsnew play toy) because they’ve drafted 5 SS under Bloom with homegrown Pitching their biggest weakness.
Yanks did well to bring back a player like AJ who wants to be there and has good character.
But he's a fairly bad outfielder from what I read.
.
I don't know anything about him defensively, to be honest.
I just think he'll bring more with the bat from the
LF position. If he is not that good defensively, they can always use a defensive replacement late in the game with a lead...
But he claims the Padres offered 10/400. Are they actually a money laudering front for a drug cartel or something? Where the hell are they getting all of this money?
But he claims the Padres offered 10/400. Are they actually a money laudering front for a drug cartel or something? Where the hell are they getting all of this money?

LOL, the Rangers too with the money they are spending.
Last year, half a billion on their middle infield!
But will he be able to produce on the same level in MLB? A lot of these Japaneses stars fail to perform at the same level when they face MLB pitching. We know Benintendi can hit MLB pitching.
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.
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.
We don’t need more home runs in the starting lineup. We need contact hitters to get on base for the sluggers on the team
IMV, Benintendi can be close to a .300 hitter for the Yankees and a plus LF defender.
I just think he never settled in last year when he was traded to the team.
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.

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.

As a consultant, I have to pay State/local income tax in every state I provide services in for the portion of my income I earned in that state for the tax year. I believe it is the same for professional Athletes.
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.
So as far as his salary, the only portion applicable to Florida is that earned in games played in St. Pete and Miami. - ( New Window )
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.
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.
All more pertinent than the storyline of Judge having grown up in California.

Can you count one Severino ti complete a full season uninjured?
Rodon is not the picture of health, is he....

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.

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.

The other was Bartolo Colon.
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.

turned down bigger offers?
Anyone else hearing that?
As I said above, Bob Nightengale says the Padres offered 10/$400M
Thanks.
$400 Million… Wow!!!
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.
