The package for Bauer wasn’t a lot. He was a guy who has top of the rotation stuff.
I wouldn’t want Grineke he has anxiety issues. In a big market that could affect him.


Yankees needed a starter though.
Tanaka/Happ/German/Paxton as your playoff rotation could use an improvement.

Indians were never trading Bauer here unless we overwhelmed them because the last thing they want is to see him twice in an ALCS matchup. There's a reason they sent him to baseball purgatory in Cincinnati. Yanks have to get Severino back and hope he can be dominate, they weren't many other options once the Giants got in contention and Toronto accepted cents on the dollar for some reason.
 
There is certainly a puzzling nature to the Yankees' school of thought. They are both cheap and free-spending at the same time. I agree with earlier poster that lamented the Stanton signing. Post-Ellsbury, he's the one player they truly overpaid or stretched for imo. And he's likely to spend the majority of his pinstripe days at DH I would wager.

It's fine to have an organizational mentality of fiscal discipline, but Cashman and Co. have done a poor job of adapting to the new normal in recent years of supply/demand in the starting pitcher's market. I may be wrong, but it seems like teams are more aggressive with signing their young stars and preventing them from hitting free agency. Couple that with the wild card system which keeps more teams mathematically alive, and the quantity/quality of pitchers shrinks.

Keuchel or Corbin would have fit in well.

Corbin was the big miss.

Trying to stay under that secondary cap number hurt them in pursuing Keuchel. In retrospect they should have outbid Atlanta for him, that was a huge mistake. Corbin's contract is insane, they made the right call staying out of that mess.

What would Cali do?

LOL, he probably would have either had us emptying the entire farm system for Bumgardner or wanted us to trade Gleyber for Steven Matz or something insane like that.

I’d prefer that over Stanton’s $32m in 2024.

Well the Marlins are at least paying part of that contract. 34.5 Million for Corbin is ludicrous.

Well, Chapman almost had the day off :oops:

Chapman has his issues but he should have started the inning. Cortes was humming along there but his last few outings have been less then stellar. Hale going on the DL hurts.

If you can't trust Cortes with a 4 run lead, when can you trust him?

LOL with his control issues varying from game to game, you never know what your going to get. Him opting out wouldn't be the worst thing in the world assuming we can re-sign Betances.
