2022 Yankees

Hal is a punk. Booney stays and Hal has no choice but to overpay for Judge because Cashman couldn't keep his piehole shut before the season about the contract that Judge did a Lou Brown on (a la Roger Dorn)

All the youngin's will come up because after the Judge contract Hal is too cheap to go further over the cap.

This team is so poorly constructed.

Everything must be in play as current Yankees prove they’re not enough

Hal Steinbrenner can’t just offer familiar blather about not meeting the ultimate goal and being disappointed to fail the fans and promise to redouble efforts in the quest for a 28th title.

The Yankees’ front office is the real culprit for playoff woes

The front office has built a team that is continually good enough to roll into the playoffs, but can’t do much more.

So much to unpack here.
1) Don't know Hal so I can't say if he's a "punk" or not but from what I've seen of him I suspect your definition of a "punk" is somewhat different than mine.
2) I've always supported Boone, even if he wasn't my top choice, but he's made some highly questionable moves this year. I'd prefer a different coach at this point but they ae just going to hire a guy who will execute what their analytics people tell them to do, so I wonder what's the difference?
3) If Judge were willing to take less money had Cashman not revealed the offer he had turned down, he probably wouldn't have turned it down. Yankee fans deserved to know what was offered, especially since there was such a short window to negotiate after the CBA was approved. They really couldn't just let people trash them without a response to clarify what he actually turned down.
4) The good thing about a lot of young home grown players making the jump is that you free up money for a big ticket item or two.
5) Agreed that this team is poorly constructed. Not enough left handed power and having so much money tied up in Judge AND Stanton leave very little roster flexibility.

I'd let Judge leave, trade Donaldson though you'll likely have to attach a very good prospect to entice a team to take all of most of the money, and go after a top pitcher like Rodon, a closer and a LH power bat that can DH. Lots to do here and it likely is a 2 year project but would love to see this in 2023 or 2024:

C - Wells/Trevino
1B - TBD...but LH bat preferred.
2b - Peraza
3b - Lemehieu or Torres
SS - Volpe or impact FA
LF - Martian
CF - Bader/Pereria/Jones
RF - Stanton
Cabrera as the utility guy.

Sign a #2 starter. Rebuild the back end of the bullpen.

Are you a Mets fan?
I disagree with your potential roster changes, top to bottom (Except for CF).

I assumed he meant to imply Hal was the 9th Ramone, but what do I know.

Until you just said 20 plus years I didnt really realize it has been that long. Man. Thats crazy.
 
I'm not close to being a Boone fan, but no one was managing that team into the World Series. Cashman is the real problem, though I would have preferred them both to go.

not happy Boone back, I didn't think he was going to swallow the money with two years on his contract

Cashman is the main problem, he created this mess.
