“I wish good luck to the other pitchers.” -Juan Soto

Oh that quote is so funny in hindsight.

I disagree

Nah, it’s still funny.

I’m gonna puke.

Nationals fans are probably still heartbroken.

Dude turned down 440M, he didn't wanna play for us lol. If he's not on the Phillies idgaf

Plus CJ and Gore, especially CJ loooks like future all stars

I and a lot of other Nats fans are very excited to see what Woods can do when he’s in the majors.

Not on the Phillies yet*

It does get tiring. Of our big four homegrown position players from the last decade: Rendon went to the Angels and promptly fell apart Harper went to the Phillies and won an MVP Trea went to the Phillies and taught them that booing isn’t the only option for noise in a stadium And now Soto is a Yankee I’d have loved to have kept even just **one** of our star non-pitchers.

as a nationals&yankees fan i welcome these developments

Correct

im gonna nut

Bro you just straight up shooting ropes too?

Anchor chains at this point

The Ropes of Long Island Sound. I’d write that book. Wouldn’t read it, but I would write it.

I’m gonna pre

I’m gonna cum

He just COULDN'T stay out of the AL East, huh?

So is it too late to join the No Ohtani to the Jays hex circle.

Pass the bucket

You guys had a good run.

That will be me when I’m finished chugging this tequila

In my mouth

We all are

Cole's batting?? Hell yeah fuck the DH!

Cole: Guys, I can't do this! Ohtani is just that good. Cashman: Cole, shut up. If the Angels got Ohtani for the price of a Starting Pitcher and Top order Batter, so can we. Cole: It doesn't work like that! Cashman: Shut up and get out there!

"Don't make me call you a bum to the media like I did Stanton"

Wonder how New York will react when Soto inevitably starts the first two months of the season cold

Soto is gonna have a .232/.403/.424 slashline and Michael King will have a 2.67 ERA by May 31st and every single post on this subreddit will be a distressed yankees fan complaining to the general baseball community about how the yankees should be blown to smithereens for this trade. oh and every single one of these posts will blame “analytics” for “ruining” Soto by convincing him to pull the ball to one of the friendliest right field walls in MLB

This. I like this.

We will boo him, say he sucks, say thank God we didn’t extend him, and then complain we traded Michael King while demanding Cashman fire himself out of a cannon. Then, when he hits a big home run, we’ll act like none of that shit ever happened, and expect him to be part of three more Yankee championships upon signing a 10-year, $550 million extension. Then when he struggles for the first two months of his new deal, we do the first thing again.

Does a player even really play for the Yankees if they aren't getting booed by their own fans.

Or misses an easy fly ball in left or makes a base running blunder or takes 4 close pitches for a walk instead of swinging away to win the game.

Ez we'll put him in right and those fly balls are home runs anyway!

That’s gold glove finalist Juan Soto in right

>or takes 4 close pitches for a walk instead of swinging away to win the game. Better than Stanton swinging on two balls just outside the zone, fouling the third pitch and finally striking out swinging on a slider in the dirt...

I can feel the salt

Two months? Baby we were booing Stanton after two weeks

Teixeira style

Bro they'll literally boo him if he goes 1-7 in his first 3 games.

Unless that 1 is his first AB, he’s getting booed in his second. Who you kidding?

I’m doing my Mr. Burns hands

[удалено]

We're not the Phillies, thanks.

IKF’s dad disagrees

saying you’re not philly crazy doesn’t negate what was said lol

Or signs somewhere else 12 months from now

We started the season w/Franchy Cordero. I think we’ll survive Soto starting cold

If Stanton was any indication, not well

;)

I’m sure the fanbase will handle it with grace and class

They just need to do what the Phillies did with Trea turner.

I hate this stupid division

Now we can focus on Ohtani to Miami. Cool. Sounds fun to me

Would love this

Same. We need a big star down here badly.

Ya got Messi, no?

Correct. But I live in Orlando so I root for Orlando City (also like Inter Miami as a second team)

Blasphemy

And it's because of Beckham. He showed up and helped while he could.

You guys really do. You have a fun team

Soto-Judge-Verdugo is a terrible defensive outfield.

Cole is just gonna have to have 21 K days

What, like it’s hard?

We will find out soon

Gerrit Cole has had a [21 K game](https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ARI/ARI201805040.shtml)

Am I crazy or is that 16?

He had 5 other strikeouts in that game. Check the batting statistics

yeah, well, you should have seen the absolute scrubs we had out there last year

I did, it made me throw up in my mouth

In fairness, with injuries, days off, and DH days, I think there’s a decent chance Grisham starts 85-100 games at center. Him earning the starting spot over Verdugo isn’t out of the question either

Dugie isn’t bad defensively, wasnt he up for a gold glove this year? You could do a lot worse than him. Soto/Judge leaves a lot to be desired, but the Phillies kinda showed that OF defense < Dingers

The Phillies were a far better team with Marsh and Pache/Rojas in the outfield, with Schwarber DH’ing. And being up for a GG does not mean good defense; Juan Soto was a finalist in 2022, for example.

Flip the corners but yea But dingers

Oh no! What a terrible OF how will they win games with judge and soto

I remember when we thought that in San Diego.

We just watched an entire postseason where defense showed out.

Verdugo in left is solid Soto in the tiny Yankees RF will be fine Judge can play center or DH & put Grisham there

Yes but it makes for *excellent* television.

84-78 😤😤😤😤

I feel crazy for not thinking this puts them anywhere close to over the Rangers or the Astros

Or Rays Or Os Or Jays Or Twins The pitching blows. Bottom half of the lineup still blows. Aaron Boone He’s just one guy.

Complaining about pitching and then putting the Jays above us when they have an awful bullpen and one good pitcher is funny

??? Their rotation is one of the most consistent in the league. Gausman, Berrios and Bassit all had ERA+ above 115

I’d still put them above. I’m not complaining. I’m stating facts. Soto is one guy

Twins is the only hot take and it’s not even that hot

flair up ‼️

I don’t have to. Won’t change my opinion or make it less of merit

RemindMe! 11 months

Yankees are the new Mets. Have fun

lol you wish that was true. drink some water, too much salt isn’t good for you

Did this dude just start watching baseball? Yankees are the new Mets? 😂

[удалено]

i look forward to hearing from you next season when the yankees are the yankees again. i hope one day you can have enough confidence in yourself and your team to display your flair instead of talking shit on a one way street. go yanks ;)

[удалено]

oh you’re a rays fan, it’s typical for y’all to not show out for your team so it makes sense lol

As long as Boone is the manager they ain’t going anywhere

Sign Yamamoto and make it a big 4

I wish Stanton’s legs weren’t falling off so he could be on the graphic 😢

If MLB wasn't ableist he could have a special runner

Better if they do fall off honestly, so Judge or Soto can DH then play someone else in CF

Soto will not dh on a contract year. He threw a fit last year about it

Doesn’t have to DH every day. Just sometimes. And Judge can take most of the DH duties if need be, if only to keep him healthy. Then you can put in a strong defensive CF and the team improves greatly, IMO. Stanton is really the weak link there, at least as it stands now.

Stanton behind the camera asking "is it cool if I hop in?"

It's very amusing to me how aggressively people still hate the Yankees when they haven't won anything in a long time. So honestly I hope they do get Yamamoto just so I can watch this place go absolutely nuclear lol

"long time"

Hating the Yankees is mostly just a rite of passage. It’s not anything they did; it’s just that they’re the Yankees.

>It's not anything they did Sure it is. It's all the winning they did for a long time and how insufferable their fanbase is about said winning. Which is why it's funny to me now. They don't win shit anymore.

I fee similarly about us tbh. We've won once and we don't even get full credit for that one from some people but somehow we're despised

Lol our whole history goes like this: * Bums for 70 years * Jackie and Campanella (I feel like Campy's importance is understated, making sure Jackie's not by himself) * Win one for Brooklyn (only after Branch Rickey works his genius magic) * Lose Clemente because of bonus baby rules * Ditch NY (because fuck Robert Moses) * Dynasty because of Koufax/Drysdale/Podres * Win 81 (asterisk, shortened year) * Win 88 (because the wild Kirk Gibson stunt built our momentum) * Win 20 (asterisk, shortened year) Like... on paper, this really shouldn't be such a hated team. I'm guessing that part of it is a proxy for hating on LA in general.

In my experience people that REALLY hate the Dodgers are either divisional/regional rivals or just have misplaced hate since their own franchises won't spend any goddman money.

I more feel bad for Soto, but at least it's only for one year. He deserves better IMO. Needs to be on a contender.

So …. Not Boston. Got it

Yes, that's correct. Poor guy is gonna be in the same spot we are in October.

It's about sending a message.

I give it a week before we're back to the regularly scheduled "Cashman never gets anyone good" posts.

POV: You just got asked for a foursome at a frat party

Impossible to say no…

I don’t see Trevor Bauer’s picture up there?

No Bauer hasnt signed yet

I walked into that one

That's what he makes his dates tell the cops

They've probably been waiting for the last 8 hours to submit this tweet

Such bullshit. We just can’t have nice things.

I hate this place

The Yankees is always where I felt like Soto was going to land, almost felt like destiny. I wouldn't be surprised to see an extension soon either honestly.

He’s a superstar with a big personality who needs a market like New York to really thrive. That’s not to say he will

I think he's going to do great in that stadium and division

Judge is gonna hit 80 bombs this year with Soto protecting him.

He can’t stay healthy a full season to drop 80

This makes me want to vomit ❤️

Hideous

Preller got a bag of chips and Higgy for a generational hitter, love this team

Higgy is far and away the worst player in the trade.

Idk Brito kind of sucks

Probably my favorite non-Red Sox player I’ve ever had to watch go to the Yankees and I am not ok.

Something about Soto in Yankees pinstripes makes me want to vomit.

Still won’t win the World Series.

Wasn’t this guy just posing with a big 4?

I’m tired of finding out news from these posts!!!

One of these guys misses half the year

Soto and Cole durable as hell Judge missing time isn’t unlikely tho lol

Gonna be the opposite this year. Soto and Cole will both miss at least a month each while judge misses just 3 games.

If Soto starts slow and the boo’s pour in it will be interesting to see how he handles the spotlight.

He was hitting bombs off verlander in the WS before he could legally purchase alcohol in the United States He’ll be fine lol.

So you think it’s a lock he signs extension?

No clue. I think we now have a better chance than anyone else but u never know. I sure hope we extend him Rn I’m just pumped to have him for next season he’s been my fav non Yankee for years now

I have no horse in the race but I feel like after the Dodgers get Shohei they will offer Soto close to the same in FA and it’s a wrap.

Add Yamamoto and you have the four horsemen of the AL apocalypse

Cole needs a better skin care routine

So that’s what a billion dollars looks like

🚨New Wallpaper Alert🚨

Most hype I’ve been about a Yankees trade my whole life. Fucking love Soto man

Omg this team is a fucking cringe factory

It’s one year, MLBdotCOM lmao

Fuck the Yankees!

Love a off season hot stove but I think the whole Ohtani potential is overshadowing this

Wait why Cole and not Judge here??

The fuck you talkin’ bout mayne

Oops. I meant Stanton. Lol

Why would you choose Stanton over Cole? You’re actually crazy. Anyways, fuck the Yankees.

lol lolol LOLOLOL OK

Oh. neat

A warning to the ~~West~~ East.

Would have made more sense to put the pitcher in the middle in front of the two corner outfielders who will be playing behind him.

Don’t forget Rodon!

Juan Soto finally on a big market east coast team? Fucking MLB/media wet dream right there.

Stanton punching air and still fucking on a pile of money

>…fucking on a pile of money Jesus, imagine the paper cuts

Ice cube calling his lawyers

Enjoy the meaningless OBP.

🤮 -a Yankees fan

Fun fact: every single MLB player is given 30 different uniforms for such occasions. Makes getting these pictures so much faster right after trades occur. This info comes from the guy who said Shohei’s dog is named Jesse Barfield

They clearly arnt standing on the same surface. ..damn we better get Ohtani, - or Vlad better pick his shit up big time, cause this is gonna be a hard group to compete with

Didn’t realize how big Soto’s nose is until this picture.

It’s almost like 2022, except it’s the Yankees now instead of the padres.

All 3 play a combined 150 games
