That's what always irks me about the "small market" BS. In order to buy a team the owners have to approve. Which means they make sure a potential owner can afford it. Then these small markets also get money from the big spending teams, yet don't always spend it on their club. They have no minimum salary floor, so they can trade away their potential stars while always crying small market. It's bullshit.
@@jayceh Not sure what you’re Talking about. His contract is for $ 700M. 10 yr at $2M= $20M then the rest (another 10 yrs) will be deferred at $68M annually. The jump went from Judge’s $360M to Ohtani’s $700M. Is he that much better than Judge, No. From this moment forward, every player that believes he has a shot, will ask for something higher. At this rate, MLB will have big problems in the years to come.
That whole conversation about signing Soto was a ruse.. Hal is not George. Not resigning Holmes? Really? Why can't Stanton be bought out? verdugo is young and you're not going to resign him either? this is not the Yankees I grew up with. But here's the thing, if you need to make money from your sports team, that means you don't have enough money to own the team.
The Yankees still have an annual payment of $70 million for the new stadium (PILOT or payment in lieu of taxes), plus an annual $30 million payment to NYC for maintenance of the stadium. So that's $100 million before non-player salaries (including Brian Cashman and Randy Levine on down to the hot dog vendors; say another $50 million), plus cost of goods sold (admittedly at a huge markup), plus a player payroll of $300 million, plus travel costs, etc. Add $32.4 million in 2023 for luxury tax payments. So the Yankees' annual nut is probably well over $500 million. So they have to earn enough to clear more than $500 million after taxes (including an additional 7.25% NYS) or lose money.
Verdugo gone for dominguez gleyber gone for Peraza maybe rizzo gone. We have a lot coming off the books this year with plenty of money to sign Soto and still have a lower payroll than this year. Not worried in the least
They will not resign Soto. Tell tale sign is Judge in CF. If Soto was staying Judge would be in LF, hes not a CF long term. He'll be back in RF in '25. The OF will be Jones-Dominguez-Judge. This is a win now season.
This is a bunch of propaganda! Why the hell would he say these things? He basically just reneged on the promise to do everything possible to re-sign Soto.
Fans don’t want to hear about payroll is unsustainable. What is the value that Soto will bring in on ticket sales, merchandise. If the Yankees pass on Soto, the fans are going to very upset. Including me.
That would be the best thing for this team. Hal should just sell the team. You mean the New York Yankees the most successful sports franchise,that is worth billions of dollars needs to worry about money? I’m not saying that you just go out and arbitrarily spend insane amounts of money, but to say that a team that even during bad years has fans that pack the stadium and still buy merchandise isn’t “sustainable “ is just insane to me.
Hal Steinbrenner needs to sell the Yankees to someone who understands sports finances for the most iconic sports team in the world in the largest market in the world. Steinbrenner (or his minion Cashman) never grasped that if you are the Yankees, you can never overspend because you will always get it back and more. That's how his father operated and all his father did was grown a 10 million dollar investment into a 10 billion dollar enterprise. Hal is over his skis here and needs to get out - and take the useless Cashman along with him in the process.
I’m not quite sure I understand the need for Hal to say this externally. Maybe it’s to make clear to teams trying to acquire Jasson or Jones that it isn’t Cash’s call. 🤷🏼♂️
Revenue equity spread equally to all teams, break the monopolies. The game would explode; creativity, fan interest, competitiveness, revenue, the whole game would be better. Remember when they broke up AT&T? What happened? Look in your hand.
Yep. Fan interest would be at an all time high. Every fan base would have a reason to watch and invest in their teams since everybody would have an equal chance to win.
They need to keep soto and verdugo. If they let soto go we NEED to organize and strike for like a week..but even if we do that and he gets the point and nvr plays us again it will be to little to late soto will be gone forever...soto is now or never period...
Hal has alot of balls saying that considering his underachieving rosters haven't been to a WS in 15 years, he's contradicting his own mission statement. Get to a postseason where you're not completely overmatched first and make a run before you tell the fans you're going to be a cheap bastard. He has more than enough $ to live 10 lifetimes stop the BS
But he had the money to spend to buy into AC Milan and tickets behind home plate cost 4000 a seat I don’t blame some owners when small market teams stay bad so they can make profits and get welfare from the larger market teams I think they need a floor for all the teams
Nike, was so impressed by the Yankee franchise that they gave one billion to Hal so their 'swoosh' can appear on the uniforms. Ten hundred (1000) million is in the Yankee coffers and Hal's crying about expenses that equate to comparable peanuts.
The Yanks aren't going to make business decisions based on what the fan base thinks about it or demands that they sign this one or that. The Yanks will make business decisions based on what the market forecast, and profitability is.
You can be Walmart or you can be Gucci. You can't be both. The Yankees have a luxury brand. They need to sell a luxury product and make that work with how they sell the team worldwide. You can only do that if you keep the quality to the point where you are competitive to win EVERY YEAR. Let the Rays be the Rays. The Yankees need to be the Yankees. They're both good business models, but Hal is trying to have it both ways and that doesn't work.
I love ❤️ my Yankees since the early 80s on WPIX ch 11. But they are becoming the Dallas Cowboys of MLB, and that sucks as a fan. Anyways they have the $$$ to spend so spend it.
Hal may not be wrong, but this mindset means that the Yankees will have to settle with potentially being inferior to teams that are willing to spend more (eg Dodgers)
The MLB has an outdated system, and the issue is that the MLBPA doesn't want this to be resolved. I know Manfred gets a lot of hate, but it's time for him to fracture the union because the MLB right now has a system that's unsustainable.
A business owner is not supposed to be satisfied. Continuous improvement should be there goal. Making space for Soto and using younger players is smart
Sports Business have another goal that normal businesses don't have. Winning should be the priority instead of making a profit. Hal doesn't understand that. If the Yankees don't win the WS in the next couple of years, the fans will rebel and Hal's Profit will certainly decrease. Hal does enough to keep the Fans somewhat happy, but he doesn't go all in to win the WS.@paulcastaldo3437

I did the math we have around 70 mil coming off the books. Not counting player options which could make it go up to 80+. So i think the lineup if the keep soto is. Volpe,soto,judge,dominguez, stanton, rizzo, peraza, cabrera, trevy or wells
Don you do not have to worry about Volpe becoming a Jeter...STOP the guy STINKS, also Mike no one is giving Soto 50M, watch his stats at the end of year....270/ 84 150k's stinks on the field, not a 50M dollar player......

Hal has a $300m payroll so he’s not being cheap, but payroll for ALL teams is gonna get stupid very soon.
Sayonara Juan Soto. Boss don't have $700 million dollars for you. I say trade Aaron Judge and then Juan Soto can be signed. Yankees also proved Gerrit Cole is spendable. Trade him as well. Money will be freed up for Juan Soto.
No on Soto. Example: Last night. Soto fails in 9th inning. Imagine he is on a 60 million per year contract with that result last night. Instead, we have a minor league last night failed, got tagged, while Marinaccio goes back to minors. The proper path is to get solid pitching, and develop more young players for our team (contrary to Hal's belief that he has been successful in player development). Not enough be a long stretch. Soto is good, but not worth what he is asking, not even close. And we will still not win with him.
Fun fact. The Yankees 20 years ago spent 90% of their entire revenue on player salaries.
