That is my feeling. And while I am optimistic about DJ, he could **** the bed. While I hope Cole figures it out, he may end up being a very expensive #3. Stanton will be a bad contract in a couple years. Then there's judge. It gets tricky.Quote:

Agreed. I am more concerned about Cole that DJ, Judge or Stanton believe it or not. Will he adapt to a sticky less world or will they ease the pressure and scrutiny. He looked like a very different pitcher without it.Quote:

He lost well over 100m because of getting jerked around in Col last yr, him signing a short term deal makes a ton of sense
You ever think the reason why Siemen took the one year deal was because he knew what the free agent market would be like this season? Story won’t get as much as he would now in a year or so .Quote:

Thank you Day for the rescue.
The MLB and the MLBPA are working to find a sticky substance that will provide the pitchers more grip. The other thing they have talked about is using a pre tacky ball like they use in Japan, to allow the pitchers a better grip, either way its expected to be part of the new CBAQuote:

To ssay he won't is just asinine. Why must we live in absolutes.
He also assumes Story would get less next off season, when the short stop market nearly isn't as deep and he has the chance to rebuild his value.
Pure comedy.

I understand re establishing value . What I don’t get why anyone would take a 1 year deal with the kind of ss market there is in this year’s free agent market . If anything a player would want to take advantage of it . Especially after siemen who is older , just hired boras .Quote:

I remember the day the Sux signed David Price to that enormous contract, I had a smile on face knowing they just hamstrung themselves for years!Quote:

Hal has shown there is a LIMIT to what the Yankees will spend. I fully expect him to raise the payroll this year and the coming years but expecting to fill every position with 20-30 mil players is unsustainable even for the Yankees. That's why you need at least a few young good players on cheap salaries to balance the budget.
Can you remember anything memorable from the 2011-2016 Yankees? I sure can't and those were the latter years after splurging big on CC and Tex and having ARod's enormous contract.
Point is handing out big contracts will give you chance to win a WS for 2-3 years but will hamstring you for majority of the contracts lifespan.

Pretty much thisQuote:

Going to have that guy. Stanton and Cole making a ton. Judge getting paid. I just don’t see any of these guys being that big an impact, that I want to blow the payroll on them.
Unless they saying **** it, we going all in. Then just go buy everyone
Except there’s several big ticket SS available now, and only so much money to go around. If he took a big dollar 2 year deal, and kills it, he’s still getting paid very nicely againQuote:
