  1. If Mookie stays healthy he certainly has a chance of aging well.
  2. Most likely. We were 19.6 under before Pillar.
  3. Let's be clear: they would have 'easily kept Mookie' for this season only. Is that a big deal? Nothing will be easy about keeping Mookie after this season.
  4. Mookie will turn 28 by the end of this season. So he'll turn 33 in the 5th year of his new deal.
  5. 2 now - Stanton and Harper.
  6. Maybe because there have been so many posts wondering why we didn't non-tender or trade JBJ and about how overpaid he is this year?
  7. Yeah, the only difference is, if he got hurt, people would also be criticizing Mookie for not signing an extension when he had the chance.
  8. Here's what I think: If we kept Mookie this year, and got off to a crappy start, there would be a lot of people asking why the hell we didn't get something for him when we had the chance.
  9. No, I don't think so. Do we have anything other than some tweets from Merloni?
  10. A lot of things led to this. Not least of them being Mookie's own philosophy.
  11. How much spending is enough to satisfy people? They spent more than any other team in baseball the last two years. This year they'll be all the way down to third or fourth highest in spending.
  12. Larry and DD did good things. Then they messed up. Now they're gone.
  13. 2012 - Larry picked BV. Then the Punto trade which could be pinned on Theo. 2015 - Not only Panda and HanRam, but Ben messed up on the pitching staff a wee bit.
  14. You're right about the last place finishes, but they certainly weren't because Henry was cheaping out.
  15. Can't read the article, but... The new tax system has only been in place since 2017. The Yankees re-set and then spent. The Dodgers re-set and then spent.
  16. Of course it is.
  17. 300/10 could be an albatross too, obviously. It's about drawing the line somewhere, isn't it? It's a difference of 12 million a year. It's not much different from you, moon and notin pointing out that 11 million is too much for JBJ, but 6 or 7 million would be OK.
  18. 'Behind the times': 3 words that have to send a chill down Rob Manfred's spine.
  19. If I saw two girls beating up on another girl I hope I would try to stop it.
  20. The fact that there isn't much of a step down from JBJ to Pillar means JBJ is redundant. He's gone. Bloom would not sign Pillar otherwise.
  21. I'm pretty sure Bloom is plotting moves on the pitching front.
  22. So you are for trading him, basically.
  23. I assume most are assuming this means JBJ is being traded.
  24. According to a report Tuesday in The Athletic, Beltran was the ringleader when it came to the scheme and ignored the protests of some coaches and teammates. Beltran joined the Astros before the 2017 season after spending the previous three years with the Yankees. According to The Athletic, when Beltran got to Houston, he told the organization its sign-stealing methods were “behind the times.” So after 3 years with the Yankees, Beltran tells the Astros their sign-stealing methods are 'behind the times'! And then after the 2018 season the Yankees hire Beltran as a 'special adviser'! Beltran is the Yankees sign-stealing smoking gun.
