DJ will make more money, even at a discount, in his next contract than morton will have made his entire career. Surprised if he's retiring.

No way the Yankees do that deal!Quote:

I fully agree about the finances. If they hope to keep Judge, Torres, Frazier and Urshela they are going way past the luxury so why not just go big, no, go yuge. Break the bank and and live with it.
Cubs cut Lester and it sounds like it's no guarantee they pick up Rizzos big option. If they do pick up Rizzos option they are expected to shop him
Let's hope that Hal has someone around him to make sure he realizes what he is passing up if they choose not to shop in this market.
We've only seen options not be picked up so far, I guarantee the list of non tendered players is going to surprise people
Obviously not everyone is going to be cheap but its going to be in those 2nd and 3rd tier players that are going to be looking for very short term deals, that a team could really get some deals on. I think some des are going to be just to good to pass on, especially with BP arms.
If no team was interested in a top 3-5 AL reliever for a lottery pick and 10m. If this were a normal yr literally every team but the Rays would have tried to get him. So what do guys like Hand, Yates, Hendricks, Rosenthal and other guys of that tier will get this yr, 1yr 4-7 m max. For a team like us who desperately needs to add quality arms to the pen, adding a couple of those guys might be to difficult to pass on IMO.
If the rest of the market follows the reliever it could be very interesting to see who ends up where
They should spend to whatever tax threshold that starts costing them draft picks and IFA .money.
Day, at bargain prices the Yanks should take a VERY serious look at Hand and Lindor. At the right price he is no longer a luxury, but an affordable "makes sense" option.
Where in that sentence do I suggest he is a DH? I literally say that his defensive metrics grade out pretty well in LF. That means he can play LF just fine...Quote:

There is no valid reason to take the starting job away from Frazier especially to a 34 year old player who is likely past his prime .Quote:

On this day in 2001, Derek Jeter became "Mr. November" with a 10th-inning walk-off HR in Game 4 of the World Series.
My whole point is that Brantley WILL NOT sign here as the 4th OFer. That is why you give him the starting job. If you want to focus on defense then Brantley is an upgrade over Frazier in LF. If you want to focus on defense then I guess you are on board with Gardner coming back?Quote:

I just don’t see the reason to take the starting job away from a kid that has worked so hard for it . I am sure there are cheaper options out there for A 4th outfielder spot . And at 34 years old unless he is looking for a one year deal , there won’t be a lot if teams willing to sign a 34 year old player as a everyday outfielderQuote:
