Was that amount available to the Yankees, though? If so, you are right. He is certainly worth that and more unless the Yankees know something about his health we don't.Quote:

Good Luck Masahiro.
Read the same thing. He easily makes up the difference with his endorsements over in Japan. Guy is a legend in his home country.Quote:

New York Yankees: Gio Urshela’ latest health update is extremely encouraging
By: Andres Chavez
January 29, 2021
The Yankees’ third baseman is already ahead of schedule
Boone explained that Urshela has been hitting off a tee, taking ground balls and throwing at the Yankees’ spring training complex. That represents tremendous progress and is an encouraging sign for the Yankees’ overall health outlook.
Actually, it appears that Urshela is progressing ahead of schedule. He should be fine for Opening Day, barring a setback, as he is, little by little, regaining his health to the delight of the team.

Brian Cashman said that the decision to acquire Corey Kluber/Jameson Taillon over re-signing Masahiro Tanaka was “two for the price of one.”
I would have liked Tanaka back also on a 1 year deal for the reported 15m he was asking for.Quote:

One can argue which move would have been better but I think between the two, he made the right decision.
I would have liked all 3, personally.

You think this is this true? I can't imagine the 4M extra for Tanaka would have meant they couldn't have afforded Tallion. Seems like BS.Quote:
