Burnes to D’backs, damn I wanted him as well to really have the best pitching in the AL and possibly the league

Yah…tbh, I think we’re not even sure if the Yankees are going to get another infielder at this point. This is not a bad scenario for us. He goes to the NL, Orioles get weaker.

Kinda shocked the Mets weren’t even in the running on him. I don’t think they can have confidence in any of their pitchers lining up against the Dodgers. Maybe they’re hoping for Sasaki?

Just pencil Sasaki in on the Dodgers.
Why is it taking so long to announce the obvious?
Optics I guess.

I think Sasaki could go to LA but I wouldn't count out Yanks here just yet. We have gotten numerous Japanese players to come to play for us.

Then we could deal Schmidt or Gil for a nice bat.

Being a bit hopeful of course but we will see.

Please.

Why would anyone want to go play for Poverty Hal?

If the $ are the same, and they will be due to rules, player will go to the best team, with a will to win and a will to spend to win.
And on the coast closer to Japan.

Japan basically a farm system for the Dodgers.

Yea I dont love Hal.

And you are right I am being a bit hopeful.

I mean maybe we will give Sasaki's mom a suite?

[KnixinSix]

Were reports true we offered Stro for Arenado?

if so then we have to have at minimum SOME interest in bringing him here.

Goldschmidt may have been a strategic move there as well as he is his BFF and now only wants to come here. We have some leverage here. I am guessing Arenado is still very much in play and its a cat and mouse game right now.

I'm surprised he got less money than Fried, but he must have taken into account the smaller Arizona tax. At least he's out of the AL East.

Looks like Gleybor is gone. I would have taken him on a 1 year contract over the Yankees being cheap.

Despite his second half, they must have gotten tired of his glove and baserunning. I can't blame them.

Sasaki can't sign until the 15th, when the International Signing Period begins.

Burnes basically got the same money as Fried, but for 2 less years, an opt out after the first two for the chance to make even more, and most importantly is now playing at home in AZ where his wife just gave birth and is raising their family.

The home factor is real. Carlos Santana turned down a player option 2nd year with the mariners to go to Cleveland. Goldschmidt was a good deal for the Yankees in light of that.

The one bad thing about all these good players leaving the AL...Hal has no incentive to make a better team. We're going to stomp on the weak teams, make the playoffs or wild card, and just do some fake hustle stuff this season.

Dodgers just signed another player. We don't need to sign Bregman or something, but get some short-term players that don't cost draft picks and only cost cash because we know Cashman is not a trade deadline guy. We should be trying to get our own version of Teoscar. Take a page from the Dodgers book...those guys are so willing to protect their farm system at the expense of cash. This is why they can contend and have a strong ass farm system.

Many people stopped watching the NBA because they grew tired of these super teams having a monopoly on winning. Leave it up to Manfred to follow in the foot steps of the NBA by allowing one team to grow stronger while the other 29 teams weaken themselves.

Winning should be Hal's incentive, but we all know that's not even remotely a concern

The Yankees have made good moves this offseason but it still just feels so boring. Soto had a level of excitement to him also had that chance to sign Harper who you would've fit under Hal's precious luxury tax.

Hal and Cashman against the Dodgers if you had to keep a record of it has to be something like 0-25 losing each game by 10 runs.

Owners do see this about Hal putting a cap on what a star should get on the open market market, like Steve Cohen and it will continue.

Winning championships should be Hal's number 1 incentive and coming up short should be viewed as a failure.

Good news we just got our 3rd base sorted, Andrew Velazquez has been signed, we just keep improving!

The gross thing is that Hal had everyone brainwashed about how he had to pick between Soto or a well-rounded team. No, you biatch Hal, you could have done both. You didn't learn shyt about getting embarrassed by the Dodgers last season...that World Series beatdown started from their ownership, bled into their FO strategy and then manifested itself on the field.

As long as Brian keeps the payroll below his self imposed cap that's all that matters to him.
