I don’t know where u are going with this, other than your precious post wasn’t agreed with and you can’t take it.

I really don't care if you agree with it or not, although I am not the one with a hard on for the front office and every move they make

Ha! Yeah that’s it.

I’ve hated the DLsbury signing since day 1 and I don’t want Frazier moved.

And again, I said I don’t want Cole, but yes, I trust them if they want him this bad...2x.

As you were.

$21M for Ellsbury? Who in hell thought that was justifiable? Please tell me someone trumped Cashman on that?

I get not trading Torres he is your future at 2nd. The Yankees should have given up Adams, Frazier and met the Pirates in the middle for a 3rd.
Cole to the Astros makes them AL favorites now.
Verlander-Kuechel-Cole is a nasty top 3.

McCullers isn't too bad either. Agree Houston has gotta be the favorite now.

A little bit of our past gone, but the players are too big and the ball comes too fast.

When I take my kids to minor league games I sit in the 1st seat in the row and bring my glove.

My wife was making fun of me till I snagged a line drive headed for my daughter who was playing in my phone. Now she asks if I have it.

On a side note, phones are just getting way too big these days.

Kahnle, Hicks, Warren, Betances agree to deals

NEW YORK -- As the Yankees continue to focus upon keeping payroll beneath the $197 million threshold this coming season, they have reached agreements to avoid arbitration with four of their eight eligible players: right-hander Dellin Betances, outfielder Aaron Hicks, righty Tommy Kahnle and right-hander Adam Warren.

Hicks agreed to a one-year, $2.825 million contract, and Kahnle accepted a one-year, $1.3125 million pact on Thursday. Betances accepted a $5.1 million deal and Warren accepted a $3.325 million deal on Friday, sources have confirmed to MLB.com. The Yankees have not announced any of the signings.

Gotta think this will help define some of the rest of free agency.

MLB TONIGHT is saying Yanks gave Darvish 48 hours to accept 7 years $160MM

 

[KaiserUEO]

And now Darvish is tweeting...they did make an offer, but #s are not correct.

Lost in translation?

The structure of the contract was wierd.
Yankees wanted him to take a small salary year one to keep them under the luxury tax and it was heavily backloaded. Most likely had a significant deferred money as well.

Don’t blame Darvish.
