Definitely offer them both QOs. Paxton is sure to decline. I’d be totally fine if Tanaka accepted. 1 year for him is good to plug a rotation spot.

How many years would your extension be? Forget his last year or arbitration and sign him to a new 3 year deal that runs through age 33? Sure. A 4 year deal that runs through 34? Sure. 5 years that...

Paxton is projected $12.9M in his last year of arbitration. I’d try to sign MadBum at maybe $18-20M/year and then flip Paxton for a good prospect.

Then package that prospect with what we have to...

Paxton will be 31 this year. So any extension would be for age 32 on. How deep into his 30s do you want to sign someone who’s career high is 160 innings?

I’d actually argue that the better Paxton...

I’m a Paxton fan but I still prefer MadBum. He had a few “freak accidents” like a motorcycle crash in 2017/18 so innings were down. Otherwise, he’s a lock for 200 innings. Paxton even as great as he...

Interesting idea...

Sign Bumgarner, trade Paxton. It’s expected that Paxton will be the top FA pitcher next year. Yankees might not be interested in signing him to a big deal. He’s pitching his...

If you took away his running and made him solely a pocket passer without the advantages his running presents in how it affects the defense then I agree he wouldn’t be as good.

But who cares?...

**** it, get Hader and bring Betances back

Cole
Severino
Paxton
Tanaka
German
(Montgomery, Lasagana, Garcia in AAA)

Chapman (closer)

Eh, in name value maybe but their overall production wasn’t a ton. Those 3 played a combined 182 games. Didi was below league average, Hicks was about league average, Edwin was above it. Netted all...

So basically Gardner got a 1 year deal for $12.5M with $2.5M of it deferred until next year, both in cash payout and luxury tax hit. And then we have the team option if we want to keep him for...

I’m still just torn on what to do with the lineup. Assuming Gardy is back:

C Sanchez (R)
1B Voit (R)
2B DJ(R)
3B Gio (R)
SS Torres (R)
LF Stanton (R)
CF Gardner (L)
RF Judge (R)

Angels need a ton of help in general.

They have Trout in CF, Simmons at SS and Ohtani at DH as their only desirable pieces. Justin Upton in LF and Pujols at 1B they’re stuck with. 2B, 3B, RF and C...

Treinen would have been nice but when you sign Cole for 9 years, $324M there are going to be sacrifices. $10M reclamation projects in the pen when you already have good depth in the pen is an example...

I think the Yankees “all in” is more than other teams. But the reality is that team circumstance is always different and no two teams are ever truly “in” on a player to the same degree. Every team...

Seager is a nice lefty bat if he becomes available should they land Lindor.

Voit when he’s not playing through an oblique is a .275 hitter with more home runs. But he’s a righty and a bad defender. However, he’s also signed for an extra 3 years and cheaper. Just being fair....

Not to sound greedy but if we really went ALL IN could we get Rizzo and Lindor?

Garcia
Dominguez
Andujar
Urshela
Voit
Frazier
All other prospects

I feel like Andujar plus Garcia might be an overpay for Rizzo. But maybe a 3 team deal.

Texas gets: Andujar, Happ (eat all money)
CHC gets: Prospects/player from TEX, Garcia
NYT gets: Rizzo,...

I agree 100%. But he’ll be harder to obtain. I think there would be a more desperate team than us who would beat an offer of Andujar, Garcia and others.

I don’t think Rizzo will draw the same...

As of right now I’m thinking that Tanaka could come back. He’ll be entering his age 32 season so he won’t be young. He hasn’t exactly been great in recent years, more along the lines of good or even...

They don’t “want” to part ways with Rizzo or Bryant. They’ve reportedly been told to cut payroll yet they have a lot of holes. So moving a player like Rizzo or Bryant to fill multiple holes is a way...

I don’t think I’d extend Paxton at that. He’s never had a fully healthy and productive season. This will be his age 31 season so he’s not young.

I like him and would rather keep him than not but...

Rotation is set now. Just need to move Happ to free up some salary space. German, Montgomery, Garcia when he’s ready should be good to hold down the 5th spot with maybe Cessa or Lasagna mixed in as...

When you look at what the Yankees has on paper going into this offseason:

Rotation: Severino / Paxton / Tanaka / German (expected a suspension) / Happ / Jordon Montgomery (came back from TJS after...

I think the NFL has gotta come down pretty hard. You just can’t have this after Spygate round 1.

The filming was taking place from the press box as I understand it so yeah, I have a hard time...
