2020 MLB Season...

DJ, I love you. But how greedy can you be. Those figures sets you and your family your wife and kids for the rest of your lives. Both sides come up Yankees come up DJ come down. Meet the middle.

lolololololololololololololol

This feels like the line of shiz the Spectrum guy tried to give me today about how Roku was the greedy party in the negotiations.

 

[CuseRunner]

lolololololololololololololol

Both sides need to give a little on their ends. I still put this on the Yankees because we can afford anybody. 25 million is nothing to us.

DJ LeMahieu has been MLB first team the last 2 years and you call him greedy.
The Yankees got full value from the last contract.
He won the batting title this year and finished top 5 in 2019.
Either pay him or wish him well.
Calling him greedy is just stupid.
It’s amazing how fans side with billionaires over millionaires.

How dare you try to get the most money you can and provide for your family, you come play for my team for less, you owe me.

 

[SWC75]

That's the nucleus of a pretty darn good team.

wow, the padres are going big!

When they signed machado I figured they had secret $$.

still have no idea where it’s coming from.

Maybe Seidler becoming majority owner this Fall is the reason? Different ownership structure controlling the purse strings.

You are right, November he took over as majority owner.

yeah, but the new aggressive attitude began with the big hosmer contract 3 offseasons ago

Yeah and I guess the Machado deal was last year. Snell is actually on a team-friendly contract, with three years left, which is why it seems odd for the Rays to unload him now.

I sorta understand teams giving 1, but machado was a head scratcher for me.

I also never bothered to look for the $$, just knew it was there but was a secret.

now it’s certainly not a secret.

still will be tougher ina smaller market.

But who wouldn’t want to live in SD and it certainly plays to all the Hispanic’s.

Tack on Darvish to that!!! Putting all their chips in the middle! Gotta love it.

They got a lot back for him.

I get that, but what are the odds that any of them will have the same value as a 28 year old former Cy Young winner with 3 years remaining on his contract at an average of $13M/year? Just a really bizarre time to unload a guy like that IMO.

Talk about a team used to playing before zero fans, that’s the devilrays.

No way they lost as much as the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs redsux etc did.

See the Chris Archer trade. They are the smartest franchise in baseball. If your a gm and you see the Tampa area code calling don't answer you will get fleeced.

that's who i was talking about ... snell alone didn't move me

Well they are close to Tijuana. Maybe getting a slice of that cash gringos spend on pharacuticals.

This is great news for frustrated Yankee fans like myself. This will make the Yankees and Hal and Cashman act now.
