Informed people know this would be a high-risk and expensive signing with a high probability of ending poorly.
Spending $20+ million a year on a 39-year-old power pitcher dependent of spider tack and recovering from major elbow surgery is literally one of the very worse ways Cashman could spend that money. 🤦♂
I don't have issue with signing Verlander as long as they don't use this as an excuse for no money going after Seager/ Correa.

On the bright side the Yankees also would get Kate Upton.

Zim is right, it may be boring, but it is much better than what he actually did.

Not understanding all the anger being directed at Correa - he’s right. Jeter was a poor defender and didn’t deserve any of the gold gloves he won. Why would anyone be outraged at the truth?
On that note, Twitter is buzzing that the Yankees have made a formal offer to Verlander . Looks like Cashman is determined to completely screw up the off-season ASAP.
Still Yankee fans blasted Machado and said they didn't want him because of one "Johnny Hustle" comment not realizing that Machado unlike every player on our team at the time plays 162 or a couple games shy every year. With Correa you get one of those comments every week. When will you get tired of it? I think pretty quickly if he isn't an absolute star and the Yankees don't win a championship immediately with him.

Because it is unnecessary. For a guy with so much negative baggage already it is an unforced error and it seems like a pattern of going out of his way to piss people off. He also didn't have to act like he did after the cheating scandle. He sought that out too and in a huge media market like NY where they will find reasons to antagonize you if it will sell papers and you are already hated it seems like two trains going towards each other full speed ahead.

How do you like this roster:
1 - Bryan Reynolds (S) - CF
2 - Aaron Judge (R) - RF/DH
3 - Cory Seager (L) - SS
4 - Giancarlo Stanton (R) - DH/LF/RF
5 - Matt Olson (L) - 1B
6 - DJ LeMahieu (R) - 2B/3B/1B
7 - Joey Gallo (L) - LF/CF
8 - Gary Sanchez (R) - C
9 - Gio Urshela (R) - 3B/SS
Bench: Odor, Wade, Higashioka, Hicks, Gardner
SP: Cole-Manaea-Severino-Taillon-Montgomery
SP depth: Schmidt-Medina-King
Bullpen: Chapman, Green, Loaisiga, Holmes, Cortes, Luetge, Peralta, Rodriguez
Will these moves get us this roster? :
Cory Seager - 8yrs/$240M? Player and/or team opt-outs after years 3,4,& 5?
Bryan Reynolds for Jasson Dominguez, Luis Gil, Gleyber Torres, Estevan Florial
Matt Olson & Sean Manaea for $5M, Luke Voit, Domingo German, Clint Frazier, Ken Waldichuk, Albert Abreu, Anthony Volpe
It needs a little tweaking (27 guys) but IMO this roster can contend for an AL East title."Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle

We need to get away from all these expensive FA on the decline or over 30 and just play our prospects. We need to develop players instead of trading them, killing them by changes, playing them and then demoting them, or blocking them with expensive veterans. IMO Signing Judge long term is a mistake. Would you sign Wander Franco (TB) or Judge long term? Most people here would say Judge. Randy Arozarena (TB) got the AL Rookie of the Year. Both of these great young players are with TB. Do you think they will trade them? They trade players when they can't afford them or have a high trade valve and is past their prime (Archer was a super trade). WE NEED A BETTER SYSTEM FOR PLAYERS DEVELOPMENT. I want Urshela (or Peraza) at SS and then bring up Volpe. Posters are talking about FA signings to win the division HUH. I can't see it even with Seager, Gallo, and Rizzo. Isn't Glasnow coming back next year?
