If they don't pursue Judge then let Chapman, Britton and Gallo walk (and they will) it would free up 40+ million to go after Trae Turner.
NY has $100 million coming off the books this off-season. They'll be able to spend $80 million before they hit the luxury tax threshold. Corbin would eat up about $25 million of that leaving them with $55 million before they hit the threshold?
They can make all that work.

I wonder how close Cashman's ass is on the hot seat, which would force him to make a move, given the expectations of the fanbase and ownership and how they've done nothing notable in over a decade.
