"With Judge, the Yanks not only have a financial consideration with Gerrit Cole, DJ LeMahieu and Giancarlo Stanton all locked for big dollars for a while, but more of a structural issue. How long can the Yanks expect someone of Judge’s size to maintain athleticism and be a useful fielder? Because it is not like they can flip him to DH. For Stanton is near unmovable with his trifecta of large salary through 2027, poor health and a no-trade clause.
Judge is not the Yankees’ problem. But Gleyber Torres has lost value. Gary Sanchez has not regained enough to get much back in a trade. The Yanks missed their best window with Miguel Andujar, Clint Frazier and Luke Voit."
But we all agree that the season is slipping away.
I think the Yankees want to keep Judge because he's popular with the fans, but ... yeah.
Oh, and put Stanton in LF already. If he gets hurt, that's a real shame. The Yankees might fall into fourth place in the AL East, and that would be intolerable.
