2020 Yankees Off Season / Spring Training ...

[STEVEHOLT]

Yeah, give me:
years 1 - 3: (16.5 WAR) [fangraphs])
years 4 - 6: (7.5 WAR)
years 7 - 9: (0 WAR)

Even with injuries, these numbers are realistic.

Geez that seems light for years 1-3..only 5.5 per year?
If you assume 1 WAR to be worth around 8 million dollars...and he only produces 24 WAR over the value of the contract..then the contract is a dud...192 million is what it would be worth.

I am just being conservative. I hope for much more. The $8 million/WAR philosophy is flawed anyway. Of course fans will evaluate the deal based on post season success rather than regular season WAR.

well, each WAR doesn't hold the same value. wins that get you from 90-97 are worth alot more than those that take you from 80-87

Cashman always gets his man (and sometimes twice).

 

[Symphony Steve]

Not a Yanks fan either. But this is about winning World Series. With this signing, the Yanks are MUCH more likely to do so. They finally have a true stud, and not at best a nominal ace, to throw out there when the prize is on the line.

 

[Hoo's That]

Thank you for for obviating the need for me to find it.

WSR > WAR

 

[NineOneSeven]

Crazy contract and probably a bit excessive but you see them all the time trying to win early and deal with the end of the contract later. Also a shame to see didi go, always a fan.

I feel bad for Dodgers missing out on this. Yanks should trade Stanton to them so they get someone to pay for a long time too.

I'm thinking if Cole wants #45 he should get #45 (Sorry Luke). It's not like Clint Frazier asking for #7.

 

[creatorsgam]

What a poorly worded Tweet...

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yeah, I'd cut Voit for this.

[OttoinGrotto]

DO IT

I'm all in on whatever around Cole.

3 catchers, 26 man roster next year...right?

How about Jacoby Ellsbury?

 

[Chip]

How about Jacoby Ellsbury?

I think the Yankees already shot him. Some horses just have to be put down.

Shouldn't need 18 guys in the bullpen now with Cole, so maybe.

 

[Fat tire 13]

Loving this. Go full "Kill Bill" mode with the Astros, and hurt them as much as possible. The other funny part is normally everyone would hate on the Yankees for spending the money. However, with Houston stealing signs, they are the villain.

It's a funny idea, but you can think about that kind of thing when you have Le Machine.

It's Tyler Wade's World and we're all just living in it.

the extra roster spot has got to go a position player, personal catchers will be more of an option now.
