Plot Twist: Angels and Giants Emerge as Favorites to Sign Superstar Pitcher, Yankees Left in the Shadows

It sounds like the Angels or Giants may end up with the superstar hurler

The New York Yankees may not end up landing another superstar before the 2024 season kicks off after all.

New York has been linked to two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell on countless occasions. Snell would go a long way in helping the Yankees out, but a move doesn’t seem plausible due to the massive tax implications.

This hasn’t stopped speculation from swirling, though. With each passing day seemingly another report comes out linking the two sides together although a move is unlikely.

While New York continues to be mentioned as a possible fit for Snell, the Los Angeles Angels, and San Francisco Giants reportedly are seen as more likely landing spots, according to NJ.com’s Bob Klapisch.

“Steinbrenner won’t bend on the 110 percent luxury tax surcharge that would force him to pay Snell upwards of $60 million in 2024,” Klapisch said. “The young Boss has repeatedly told (Scott Boras), no thanks.

“Instead of the Yankees, the Angels and Giants are more likely to land Snell. If so, the Bombers will say goodbye without regrets. They weren’t the ones who let Snell slip through their fingers. It was the other way around. Boras refused to soften his demand for $30 million per year. That miscalculation closed the window of opportunity with the Yankees, who’ve turned their gaze to (Clarke Schmidt).”

Both San Francisco and Los Angeles also have been mentioned as landing spots for Snell as well and either would make more sense. They both have plenty of money to spend and wouldn’t face the same steep tax implications as New York.

Don’t be surprised if a move comes together quickly with Spring Training already being upon us.
