I can't deny there's an illogical emotional reaction the Scherzer signing.

The Yankees weren't on the radar for Scherzer.

If Scherzer had signed with the Blue Jays, that would be bad news for the Yankees.

I am not bullish on the Yankees for 2022, but this is a kooky over-reaction to the signing of a 37-year-old whose career will be over soon.

Not in this article per se, but the idea is floating around that the Yankees are about to lose a generation of young fans to the Mets. 

In the near future, Yankee Stadium converted to a server farm for Amazon as ex-Yankee fans flock to CitiField:

"So the grand question becomes: Is it time for Yankee fans to panic as players continue to sign elsewhere?

The short answer right now is, well, I wouldn’t blame you. It’s bizarre to see the Bombers not doing a single thing before the expected lockout after Cashman’s lengthy comments about what must be done this offseason to get his team back to a World Series contender." 

The time to panic was when the realization began to set in that both Sanchez and Torres are slobs.

"And then there’s the shortstop market, with many believing Seager was the right man for the job. Some even thought Semien, after his pummeling of the Yanks last season in a Blue Jays uniform, would be a great fit.

But now those two and Baez are off the table, leaving Carlos Correa and Trevor Story as the ones left of the 'Power Five.' All hope isn’t lost but the Yanks aren’t helping themselves when you see SNY’s Andy Martino reporting that they're looking into stop-gap option Andrelton Simmons, as well as exploring Rangers SS Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s market.

These two shortstops are certainly defensive studs, but frankly, that’s not what fans expected when Cashman said this team needs a shortstop. Correa is more like it – an All-Star who can field and hit at an above average level."

Two words that will solve all these problems: Troy Tulowitzki.
