In other Yankees salary moves, I think they should consider an extension for Gleyber after this season (yeah yeah Judge contract, I know. That should absolutely be priority number 1. )
But he’ll be 26. It would be the time to make a 5 year extension. Cano got a 4 year extension at age 25, with two option years to technically make it 6 years.
Give Gleyber the opportunity to pursue another good sized contract at 31. Which could still give him $100+mil if he’s producing.
The idea behind this is if you get good young talent. You buy out the last 2 arbitration years, taking the financial risk but you avoid any FA bidding wars. (What we should have done with Judge)
With how everything is down stat wise because of the new baseballs, he’s actually hitting XBHs in a way he was in 2019.
