Why? They won the division, won a series, and ran into probably the best team in baseball.

That's certainly a fair way to look at it. Having grown up with NY sports radio, though, I think there will be some pressure to make some changes

Nor is it exactly a dominant team. I didn't follow them day to day until the Judge push at the very end, but from a casual fan's perspective it seems he did well.

Sadly yes both of these 2 series (ALCS and NLCS) were not close and not entertaining.
Hopefully we get a good World Series

Where do you all think Judge ends up?

I think Yankees basically give him a legacy contract. Minimum 8 years $320 Million.

Same fans who roasted Cashman for not signing him last year, will be calling for Cashman's head when Judge is no longer able to live up to the contract 4 years from now.

Yankees will have to shed a lot of veterans in the next couple of years to stay within shouting distance of the cap like they like to do lately, and they will hope a few of their prospects develop to pick up the slack.

They're already committed to both Stanton (sigh!!) and Cole through 2028, and we know Stanton is un-tradeable at this point.

I may be a little biased as a Phillies fan, but not sure how you can say the NLCS wasn't entertaining, and even though the Phillies won it 4-1, 3 of the games were decided by 2 runs or less, the other 2 games had big leads and big comebacks (and several lead changes in game 4), and game 5 was won by one of the more dramatic moments in playoff history with Harper's 8th inning home run. Again, I'm a Phillies fan, but I would think there was enough in this series to keep any baseball fan entertained.
