Welp if this isn’t a fire Cashman idea then I don’t know what is.
I don’t care if you pay for it year 6,7,8. You don’t let a homegrown face of the franchise, one of the faces of the majors go after he had a record breaking season after betting on himself. It’s super bad business. And for once maybe Hal recognizes that spending money is good business.
This is one we need to know all of the context. If Hal if like "Yea I'll go to $40m but we still have to be under $200m as a team", I can see Cash having some pause on that. The Rangers did that with Arod and couldn't field a decent team around him. That's how we got him. Paying Judge has to come at the expense of a higher team payroll if we're going to keep a good team around him.
If Cash is just being cheap bc he wants to be the smartest guy in the room, then **** him. I don't think that's the case though as he's never been one shy to spend money.
