snafu Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Wow. That’s a lot of time and a lot of money. Especially with the way the Yankees have been using starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Horseheads Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN · 2h It's likely that the Yankees will pay more for Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton than the Orioles will spend on their entire team. 4 minutes ago, Pete said: Yanks finally get their #1.

Their front office keeps telling everyone how aggressive they are being and how they are in on all of the FAs, but all of them decide elsewhere is better and they will be back to what they really want to do, signing reclamation projects and dumpster diving 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do these #s really mean besides getting the poor slob fan worked into a lather. ??? the $$$ goes between the clubs on transfer fees, the players have to negotiate their salary independently, I'm old enough to remember hearing about the maximum wage paid to the English FA players weekly the stars are well taken care of, but the transfer fees have nothing to do with the Yankees signing a free agent pitcher 9 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: There is an opt out after 4 years I believe Don't worry, Toronto will be joining you there.

Gugny Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I remember when Randy Johnson went to NY and couldn't handle it. I hope that doesn't happen to Cole. This gets the Rangers off the hook for the most stupid contract of all-time (10-year Alex Rodriguez deal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
