It's not a matter of liking or hating cities.  The Yankees have a long, proud history of great players and winning championships.  Many were long time Yankee fans before the Blue Jays became a team.  Many of the Blue Jay fans here are fans because of the affiliation with the Buffalo Bisons.  There's also the fact that the Yankees and the Mets are both NY teams, just as the Bills are the only NY team.  Personally, I'm a Yankee fan and am disappointed by the Yankees season ending.  They were beaten by a clearly better team.  The Blue Jays played championship caliber baseball.  Best of luck the rest of the way.

I was just happy that Judge didn’t follow in the footsteps of ARod as a playoff bust

Judge and Allen seem to be having the same careers in their respective sport. Great players done in by poor coaching/managing. I wonder if either of them will have a chance to win a championship. Right now, I would say no.

Be shocked if Yanks offer him anything substantial, thinking he’ll probably get the most per year of all the FA.

Ever heard of Kyle Tucker?

Yeah, I think you got me on that. I thought he was a bit older than he is. Likely get the biggest contract overall too. 
 

The big question is how many of the big names are the Dodgers going to land. One is too many.

If teams look closely at his metrics they will see that he's helped immensely by being a pull hitter in Yankee stadium and that it's unlikely to translate into similar results almost anywhere else.   So if you are giving him a 5 year deal you gotta' figure something more like his 2024 Cubs numbers.
