As things stand, the only realistic option for the Yankees to potentially acquire Shohei Ohtani would be in free agency. But adding Ohtani to the payroll would create problems Hal Steinbrenner might not want, write ChrisKirschner and BrendanKutyNJ.

So, the only realistic option for the Yankees potentially acquiring Ohtani would be in free agency. The Yankees should go all out in their pursuit. He fills two needs as a trusted starting pitcher and a much-needed left-handed bat. The cost though will be exorbitant. We’re talking about potentially $500 million-plus. But the Yankees could very easily make the money back in other ways with the worldwide marketing exposure Ohtani brings. YES Network ratings would be through the roof.
If it was my money, of course, I’m doing whatever it takes to sign Ohtani. He’s worth whatever the dollar amount ends up at. Is it realistic as of right now to expect the Yankees to sign him this offseason? I doubt it, unless Steinbrenner is willing to offer a blank check. —Is Giancarlo Stanton tradable? Would anyone even give us something of value for him? — Matt B.
At 33 years old, the Yankees are paying Giancarlo Stanton $32 million this year and owe him at least another $110 million through 2028. He also has a full no-trade clause. Before the Yankees traded with thefor Stanton in 2017, he rejected deals that would have sent him to San Francisco and St. Louis. At the time, he reportedly was only interested in playing in the Bronx or for the Dodgers in Los Angeles, near where he grew up.
