Message: [QUOTE="jmcclure33, post: 5043514, member: 3730"] No insider knowledge of what this situation really is between us and Mack but I’m not the biggest fan of blanket statements regarding these things. I’m a baseball guy so I’m looking at this situation like the Blake Snell free agency this past offseason. Guy is coming off a Cy Young Award season (second of his career) and is asking for a ton of money over a long period of time. Nobody, including the Yankees who have a ton of money thought it was reasonable and refused to match. Is he a good player? Absolutely. Do the Yankees have the money to give him what he wants? Technically, yes. (Obviously not saying our NIL is Yankees budget level whatsoever) But they didn’t think giving one player with his body of work was worth as much as he was demanding and decided to go with a cheaper alternative that is also reliable (Marcus Stroman).
