Only former Red Sox Johnny Damon (killed the Yanks in 2004, but was a key contributor in the 2009 World Series) and Wade Boggs didn’t screw the Yankees while being a Yankee.
The Jacoby Ellsbury signing was clearly just desperation after losing Robinson Cano to the Mariners. The Yankees actually offered Cano more money per season but the Mariners offered him 10 years instead of 7 and that's what made Cano sign there. I would've much rather overpaid Robinson Cano than Jacoby Ellsbury.
@@cejannuzi True it would've ended badly and that's why I didn't want to give Cano 10 years but it still would've been a lot more worth it than Jacoby Ellsbury who even in Boston was only that amazing in one season in 2011.
Even with the quantity of terrible signings in the 2000s decade, it seems like their really big swings worked out ok - Sabathia, trade for ARod, the high AAV deals they made with Clemens, etc.
CC Sabathia’s first season as a Yankee reaped the 2009 World Series. Johnny Damon, Hideck Matsui and ARod finally won in 2009 after several failures as Yankees.
I would never have given A-Rod a 10-year extension or traded for Stanton. It's not that these guys were necessarily overrated. It's that we allowed ourselves to be shackled to them way past their ressective expiration dates. That's just dumb.
Next video you should make a video about why have the Yankees not developed any impact players from their farm system over the past 25 years except for Judge and Robinson Cano. Explain why nobody in the organization has been held accountable for that.
Is it because theyre terrible at scouting or drafting or because they traded all their prospects away to try and make playoff runs...not sure but worth looking into
The organization/ Cashman had the winning formula from the dynasty years, and instead of scouting and cultivation of talent they've neglected their system.
The problem is "Analytics". Cashman is in love with it and has implemented it since 2010. How many WS have we been in since then? Oakland A's Billy Beane created Analytics, how many WS has he won or been part of? ZERO.
I wish Burnett could have been a Pirate his whole career. He’s said that before himself. He reached his full potential there. The city loved him even when he had a tough start because they love guys who want to be in Pittsburgh
Hal for some reason thinks Cashman deserved an extension. His contact belongs in this video as well. Like others have said the late 90s dynasty was Gene Michael's creation. The Yankees don't develop any talent anymore, everyone that comes up ends up busting. There is Judge and that's it. I don't even want to include Cano because (checks calendar) it has been almost 20 years (!!) since he made his debut in 2005. Sevy could have been another but he's proven he's made of glass. I wish we could fire everyone including Hal and start this shit over.
The fact that the Yankees are still paying Aaron Hicks for three more years is INFURIATING to me. Could've used that money on so many other options. But NOPE! Let's throw it on Hicks' lap 🙄. Completely stupid.
I love how in one breath people talk about how Hal is not George and doesn't spend every dime he can in order to win. Then the next day you'll hear the same people talking about how the Yankees love to waste money. It gets so old.
@@homerunproductions162 What a lot of people haven't figured out is that we live in an era where you can no longer buy championships, which is what the Mets have tried to do (and it's been a disaster for them). Most free agents are on the wrong side of 30 and want long-term contracts. They then get hurt and either spend time on the IL or give you declining production as a result of trying to play through their injuries. Or their skills just decline, period. The way to win is to build from within and selectively buy the right players. But even those players are eventually going to hit their decline years and have albatross contracts. That's what we have right now with LeMahieu, Donaldson, and Stanton. They were seemingly the right signings/trades at the time, but are now in their worst years.
Someone please show this to Brian Cashman so he can get is through his head that he's not always right! This video should go viral just so Brian Cashman can have it shoved down his throat that he's not always right and in fact he's often wrong.
Good information. However you forgot to mention the 🤡responsible for MOST of these deals and the 🤡"manager" who it seems his only skill is blowing bubbles. Owner needs to sell and take his 2 🤡🤡with him.
I went to the only good game Kei Igawa ever pitched in the major leagues, and weirdly it was a game he was never even supposed to appear. Jeff Karstons was injured by a line-drive on the first pitch of the game, Igawa came in cold and miraculously shut out the Red Sox for 6 innings. I say miraculous because Igawa couldn’t even hit his bullpen catcher during practice, and was eventually sent to “remedial pitching school” in single A. One of the worst signings ever, and clearly just a knee-jerk reaction to losing out on the Daisuke sweepstakes.
$ 68 Million $ .. 2018 - 2021 .. 0 games played! ( Ellsbury ) $ 12 Million $ Youklas! $ 20 Million $ Hicks! $100 Million $ For Something like four homeruns and twenty rbi's! Insanity!!!
They say on dark nights, if your favorite team releases a player & isn't quick to bring one back up, Kei Igawa will appear and become a squatter pitcher on that team. Impossible to remove.... forever & ever... *(Queue menacing Kei Igawa laughs coming in from behind cracks of thunder)*
@@homerunproductions162 the fact that he botched negotiations last year by undervaluing judge, only to be cornered into signing a massive deal in order to keep this team competitive at all, is downright pathetic. They basically lost 80- 100 million dollars by not offering him a reasonable extension in the first place. If judge breaks down like Stanton does, then our World Series window is only a few years, and judge is already out for one of those years. Furthermore, can someone please let cashman know that athletes over the age of 35 are not going to cut it in todays league? That moron still thinks guys are juicing and can last until they’re 40.
In the age of statistics..perhaps GM's should have a few one of the noteworthy stats should be Bad Contracts! The Mets would be leading the league right about now.

@@kevhead1525 wah my team sucks so I hate any successful team. Blame MLB for allowing free agency and the organizations for their failures to keep players. Maybe instead of pocketing money for themselves owners and organizations could improve their teams
@@kevhead1525 oh stop, the rest of the league has caught up to the Yankees, and even other clubs like the Red Sox and dodgers. Instead of pointing your anger at those clubs you should try pointing your anger at the clubs that are willing to let their homegrown guys walk. The luxury tax was originally called the Yankee tax along with tv deals and shared revenue there is no more an excuse for clubs to spend. You spend money to make money. If the Yankees are bad, no one goes, it’s the same for every ball club. Teams are pocketing money and the owners even fought with each other about it at the last winter meetings. Hate the game not the players
Nearly every time a player gets a massive deal they play poorly or get injured. Even Judge as much as I like him, gets 360 million for 9 years and is on the IL. Stanton and donaldson same story. Somebody explain this.
hating the Yankees with a passion, I name Ellsbury the greatest Yankee of all time. He might as well have walked into the Yankees office with a gun and stolen 70 million out of the safe as it would have essentially been the same thing, except at least then, the Yankees could have made an insurance claim
great video i think u covered all the big ones but some other ones to mention: Chris Carter in 2016, Adam Ottavino in 2019, Stanton in 2018 although he did have that awesome 2020 postseason performance, soon to be rondon lol for 6 yrs 27 AAV who only ptiched 150 ip twice his career. You bring up the barren farm system and whats most infuriating about the yankees farm is starting pitching. outside of ian kennedy(more so his dback yrs) and luis severino, there isnt anyone notable.
It's starting to look like Giancarlo Stanton may be qualifying for this now. He was traded to the Yankees but the Yankees took on the remainder of his contract to go with the trade. A-Rod's saving grace is him being the most important hitter in the 2009 playoffs en route to a championship but after that he was a pretty bad contract. I guess also being suspended without pay throughout the 2014 season helped the Yankees a little bit, but he ended up retiring a year before his contract expired.
@@homerunproductions162 I lived through all and A-Rod was my idol as a kid. His contract did become terrible after 2009 but you are right about how important he was to winning that World Series and that's why I still love him even if he was the drama queen that he was. It seems like now he has learned from his mistakes. I remember in his first full year of retirement, he was a consultant for the Yankees and he preached that the players do as he says, don't do what he did.
@@twmccoy100 Lets chill about ever since 2017. He was still great in 2018, just not the same guy he was in 2017 and to expect a repeat of 2017 is crazy. 2019 he was injured a lot but he was productive when healthy. He was great in 2021 but since last year yeah he's been awful.
@@showtimenick824 Stanton HAS to stay on the field, which is something he's proven he can't do. He's played in only 53% of all games since he became a Yankee. I love the guy's natural talent, but he's a mess physically. He's not getting any younger either. With Judge out Stanton should be the catalyst of that lineup, but he isn't.
Newest NYY strategy seems to be to dump productive players made for their ball park (left-handed hitting Andrew Benentendi, a professional, durable lead off hitter and left fielder) for injured players: Harrison Bader, Carlos Rodon. All of this is the “Steve Kemp curse.”
It’s the New York City lights (pressure) everybody can’t perform under those conditions if trout was in NY I feel like he wouldn’t be putting up the numbers he has today I personally feel that 🤷🏽♂️could be wrong
I think there is a cosmic correlation between exceedingly high budgets and lower IQ.Why do clubs with a ton of money always piss them away?Until this year, the Astros were a model franchise in getting production while staying at or below the CBT. Yes, they had some contracts that didn't work well but they've achieved multiple LCS appearances,four World Series and two championships in a short time without going crazy on contracts - except Justin Verlander but that was a tricky situation. This winter, they signed Rafael Montero, Michael Brantley and Jose Abreu with Abreu turning into the only player who looks like they could deliver close to market.
How could you leave out Giancarlo Stanton's contract? How many more years do we have to put up with him? Have you checked his recent batting average? Judge's contract will be added to this list in about 4-5 years, if not sooner.
@@vc8my I never wanted the Yankees to get Stanton in the first place. He was coming off a year hitting 58 home runs and many people did not think about the length of that contract. If he had a 5 year contract at the time the Yankees got him then I would have said okay, bring him in. Now we are still stuck with Stanton for how many more years? Cashman should be gone anyway, He has been there too long already.
@@vc8my The Yankees have developed only 2 impact players over the past 25 years, Judge and Robinson Cano, that is enough of a reason for Cashman to be let go. It is shameful that he has been there so long.
Hal Steinbrenner is content to reap profits of say $50 M annually yet he could make much more than that by getting Brian Cashman to spend less on players’s contracts.
@@TheHersheyDog Well everybody hates the Yankees. 😂 Yankee fans tend to just think of Boston but they’ve had plenty of great battles with other teams including the Tigers. But we mostly hate Cleveland because classic Michigan vs Ohio hatred plus the time they chanted “Detroit’s bankrupt” back in 2013. That really increased the hatred. Also we hate the White Sox because all our teams have had intense rivalries with Chicago teams
No pitcher should be given a multi year contract the takes him beyond 35, unless there are twice as many years on the contract below 35. So, you can give a 30 year old a contract that takes him through 38.
Some constructive criticism here: please don’t speed up clips. They are sped up just fast enough to where it is an uncanny valley fever dream. I know baseball is boring to many outsiders lol, but have some faith that people will be engaged in your videos, they are good!
the dynasty Yankees didn't even really buy their titles, they had a great core. It seemed like after they lost the 01 series they went crazy signing everyone and it didn't pay off until their signings in 2009
The Yanks are careless in how they spend their money. Something like 2 billion dollars and no world series championship in the last 13 years. Cashman should be fired for his bad decisions.
The Yankees need a new captain, one with an impressive work ethic. Someone like Jeter who contributed with getting the best out of every player. Until then, it will be year after year of falling short. The Yankees haven't been fun to watch since acquiring AROD and Jeter retiring.
The Yankees weren’t fun to watch after acquiring Arod? 😂 the guy won two mvps and averaged 40 homers, 120 RBI, and 100 runs each season from 2004-2010. Not to mention he was the most important reason for their last championship in 2009. Please, enlighten us some more 😂😂😂😂
I had a feeling that both Ellsbury and Youkilis were Secret Red Sox agents
Don’t forget Flash Gordon 😏
lol
They were Red Sox Trojan Horses.
Kind of ironic that one of the players is named Youkilis
Only former Red Sox Johnny Damon (killed the Yanks in 2004, but was a key contributor in the 2009 World Series) and Wade Boggs didn’t screw the Yankees while being a Yankee.

@@vc8my The Yankees have developed only 2 impact players over the past 25 years, Judge and Robinson Cano, that is enough of a reason for Cashman to be let go. It is shameful that he has been there so long.
The Angels love to waste money too
Already a video on that as mentioned at the end of this video.
They inspired this series
Hal Steinbrenner is content to reap profits of say $50 M annually yet he could make much more than that by getting Brian Cashman to spend less on players’s contracts.
Kevin Brown. The wall puncher.
As for people not included, how about Jaret Wright?
Definitely considered him. Good pick
This guy is so underrated
As a Tigers fan who knows all about bad contracts (Miggy, Baez, Zimmerman), I feel no sympathy for the Yankees 😂
@@TheHersheyDog Well everybody hates the Yankees. 😂 Yankee fans tend to just think of Boston but they’ve had plenty of great battles with other teams including the Tigers. But we mostly hate Cleveland because classic Michigan vs Ohio hatred plus the time they chanted “Detroit’s bankrupt” back in 2013. That really increased the hatred. Also we hate the White Sox because all our teams have had intense rivalries with Chicago teams
Oh man Zimmermann. That was brutal

Stanton belongs here despite his AS season
No pitcher should be given a multi year contract the takes him beyond 35, unless there are twice as many years on the contract below 35. So, you can give a 30 year old a contract that takes him through 38.
Pavano: American Idle 😂
They're dead-ass the best and my team in but the way they spend is just funny ngl.
Keep those puns coming...
Damn I just now found out that baseball contracts are fully guaranteed , makes since why the nfl doesn’t want to
That players union has all the power
At least they spend money tho. Cant say the same for most franchises
This video could be also be titled “what would happen if the Seattle Mariners spent money”
New York Yankees Needs To Sign Someone From Japan
I blame Brian Cashman, the man has ruined the franchise over the past decade
1Ws and being too 5 in payroll ever year. St. Louis, Boston, San Francisco and Houston all have multiple titles and spent less money.
Worst ran franchise in baseball
Aaron Judge?
Way too early to tell on that one
Can you do the Astros I have some players for you Pedro Baez, Rafael montero, Jose abreu
Ha, Baez for sure. I miss him and his slow pace on the dodgers
Some constructive criticism here: please don’t speed up clips. They are sped up just fast enough to where it is an uncanny valley fever dream. I know baseball is boring to many outsiders lol, but have some faith that people will be engaged in your videos, they are good!
Hmm i dont think i sped up any clips here unless they were already sped up from the videos i pulled them from
Some constructive criticism here : please dont ask youtubers to not speed up or slow down clips, its how they avoid copyright strikes.
They don't call Brian the Cash Man for nothing
How is galo not on here he hit a stud 159
Support Manchester United & feel thepain!!!!
If you got Giancarlo Stanton, if you got Josh Donaldson and the list keeps going
I know they did not sign Stanton but the trade for Stanton hasn't aged well with really only two solid seasons between 2018 and 2023
Yeah who would have seen him living on the IL
The dynasty Yankees, rightfully criticized for buying championships, did not like wasting money. They had brains that are now lacking.
the dynasty Yankees didn't even really buy their titles, they had a great core. It seemed like after they lost the 01 series they went crazy signing everyone and it didn't pay off until their signings in 2009
Carl Pavano! Kevin Brown!
Totally forgot youk was a yank for a hot minute
The giancarlo stanton trade is the recent trade/signing i hate
Yeah, looked good after he hit 59 HR tho
The Yanks are careless in how they spend their money. Something like 2 billion dollars and no world series championship in the last 13 years. Cashman should be fired for his bad decisions.
I would add jason giambi
The Yankees need a new captain, one with an impressive work ethic. Someone like Jeter who contributed with getting the best out of every player. Until then, it will be year after year of falling short. The Yankees haven't been fun to watch since acquiring AROD and Jeter retiring.
The Yankees weren’t fun to watch after acquiring Arod? 😂 the guy won two mvps and averaged 40 homers, 120 RBI, and 100 runs each season from 2004-2010. Not to mention he was the most important reason for their last championship in 2009. Please, enlighten us some more 😂😂😂😂
Josh Donaldson should be on this list.
The Yankees’ reckless spending is a failure.
Yankee Doodle dandy
I think it’s more of the Yankees trying to control their pitchers to much
how could you forget about donaldson??????????? please leave dj out !!! he is the machine his contract was so cheap!
