YANKS LOSE OUT ON HA-SEONG KIM


I’ve been shouting from the rooftops about how the Yankees should have signed Ha-Seong Kim, but here we are—he’s officially a Tampa Bay Ray. It would’ve been the perfect move for New York, but let’s be honest, Kim clearly wasn’t eager to take on the pressure of playing in the Bronx. Instead, he found a situation that worked better for him—a two-year, $29 million deal with Tampa. Right price, right fit, less spotlight.

Meanwhile, Aaron Boone is already preaching about how the Yankees have a “strategy” for their infield, which, let’s be real, just means they’re sticking with DJ LeMahieu and Oswaldo Cabrera. That’s fine, I guess, but let’s not pretend it was the grand plan all along. The truth is, the Yankees weren’t going to do anything unless they cleared some payroll—meaning they needed to move Marcus Stroman’s contract. That didn’t happen, so guess what? Kim is in Tampa, and the Yankees are standing pat.

It is what it is. Frustrating? Sure. But life moves on, and so do the Yankees—whether it’s in the right direction or not remains to be seen.
