Exactly. In fact it's a buying opportunity. Many teams are shedding payroll.Quote:

It was 5.6 innings a start and Cole pitched just 5 more innings with almost the same era and he is their ace . And he averaged 6 innings a start. Very similar numbers to what carrasco put up .Quote:

I think teams might wait to see if the mets work out an extension with lindor before offering anything substantial to dj .Quote:

If the Yankees gave him 4 years 100 million he would take it. They're not willing to go there. Understandable when there are no other teams willing to go there either. I still think the Blue Jays are your biggest threat. If they sign Springer, then LeMahieu probably has to circle back to the Yankee's original offer.Quote:

And who says another team won’t offer dj 100 mill over 4 years too?
Because Springer is Toronto's biggest target. If he gets 5 years 150+million from them, they will be out of the running for DJ. If Springer signs elsewhere, LeMahieu presumably becomes the Blue Jay's top target.Quote:

If the Yankees do nothing and I mean absolutely nothing, we will still enjoy an exciting season with a mix of veterans and kids who are capable of giving us a 2017 season. As is, we may not be the favorite to win the WS, but again it will be entertaining and isn't that what we most want from our leisure?Quote:

The better question is how can one call them self a real yankee fan and NOT be angry at the garbage the front office has pulled over the last 4 seasons ?! I mean it’s been the same narrative with this team for atleast 5 years now , and that it is the Yankees constant need of starting pitching .Quote:
