Aged like milk.
Brian Cashman indicated that Bryce Harper isn’t a fit for the #Yankees. Said the team already has six outfielders and that playing Harper at first base isn’t realistic.

If you can’t afford to competitively field a team, you shouldn’t be an owner.
@JonAlba 1. Not any team can, there is a huge discrepancy of revenue. 2. Yes the Yankees always spend.

1. Any team can. 2. Have the Yankees done that the last 15 years?.
@JonAlba Pretty easy to be competitive every year when you can buy anyone you want.

Why sign future Hall of Famer Bryce Harper when you could have Aaron Hicks and Brett Gardner?.
I maintain the original sin of this era of Yankee baseball was not paying Bryce Harper to do that for 13 years.

*If* Judge is lost for the season, the Yankees should immediately pivot into sell mode like 2016. Go get assets for Grisham, Williams, Weaver, Goldschmidt, maybe even Bellinger (he will opt out as is). Replenish, punt, and hope Judge can contribute next year.

Hey, remember how on June 13 I tweeted how the Yankees season fell off a cliff last year on June 14, and we'd see how it goes this time around?.
Yankees are 14-22 (.389) since June 13. That's the 2nd-worst record in MLB during that span, ahead of only the Nationals (11-24, .314).

But please, tell me how fundamentally sound the Yankees are defensively.
