Get ready, the Dodgers come to Yankee stadium June 7-9th next season and it is going to be a must watch event. Ohtani and the Dodgers rolls into town to play against Juan Soto and the retooled Yankees, you couldn't imagine this any better... or could you? Actually, I think you can.
The Yankees are going ALL IN this year. Soto was just the start. The next "need" to address is going to be the pitching and it's coming. Even the foolish present-day Yankees know you can't lose as much pitching as they did in both the Rule 5 draft and their trades and NOT replenish it. Pitching is coming, but now we just wait and see who.
The Yankees are ALL IN on Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He's the next target, and if the Yankees get him that old Death Star is officially waxed and no longer dusty. We all know Hal Steinbrenner is NOT like his dad George, but even he knows this is a business. The faltering Yankees needed to rebuild their brand. The Yankees aren't just a baseball team, they are an attraction in one of the brightest cities in the world. These aggressive moves are long overdue.
So back to that summer series against the Dodgers....it could be even bigger. Can you imagine Ohtani and Soto in the lineup AND Yamamoto pitching for the Yankees? This has HUGE profitability written all over it. Those bleacher tickets are already pricey enough, but get ready the price for that series would be higher without a doubt.
By the way, anyone who thinks baseball is a dying American sport... just look at the details of Ohtani's deal. Baseball is a alive and well, his new contract proves it. Bobby Bonilla is jealous! Get ready folks, the Dodgers and Yankees series is going to be epic!
