So that's another reason why trading Jazz Chisholm would have been something that I was open to.

I just don't know where the Yankees go without resigning Cody Bellinger.

And I know a lot of Yankee fans are ready.

Look, I was ready to walk away from him last week when the Yankees still had Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette on the table for them.

But I'm not willing to do that anymore.

I'm sorry.

I need a certain standard put on that baseball field on March 25th.

And not even bringing back Cody Bellinger is below that standard.

I mean, guys, how many more times do we have to talk about it?

When are the Yankees going to get it into their frigging heads that Aaron Judge is entering his age 34 season?

If you didn't know, a man's physical prime generally ends around 35.

So do you have one more year of Aaron Judge at this prime level, MVP level, where if it wasn't for a wall in Los Angeles, it could have been a four-time reigning MVP?

And you're not even going to put out a team as good as the one you had last year?

When you look at some of the salaries that are going around in baseball, I know Aaron Judge signed a nine-year deal.

And these are short-term deals.

But a guy like Kyle Tucker is getting $20 million more a year than Aaron Judge.

Bo Bichette is getting $2 million more a year than Aaron Judge.

And this guy could have gotten more money from the San Diego Padres and it took less to stay a Yankee.

And you're not even willing to go fight...

For Cody Bellinger, every single day that the Yankees go on this World Series drought and don't put a legitimate number two behind Aaron Judge in this lineup, it makes last year look worse and worse.
