Impossible to say, really. From what we know of Cherington he leaves all his options open as much as possible.
-
There's no reason to think so.
-
Baseball + numbers does equal fun for me. But no, it's not quite as much fun as sex, drugs or rock 'n' roll.
-
Peralta will be the second player in 2 years (Melky Cabrera the other) to get himself a raise right after a PED suspension. Nice!
-
Push them over what edge Pal?
-
I'm staying with Lucchino until proven otherwise.
-
Lucchino has often not been shy about disclosing stuff about the team's plans. In the offseason before 2011, well before we did the AGon and Crawford deals, he issued one of his State of the Sox statements in which he assured fans that the team was hoping to make two major acquisitions, one by free agency and one by trade.

Here are some 2014 payroll AAV numbers for the Yankees: Guaranteed deals: A-Rod, Sabathia, Tex, McCann, Jeter, Soriano, Wells - total 114 million Arbitration eligible - Robertson, Gardner etc. - estimated total 18 million 40 man roster, benefits etc. - estimated total 22 million That's approx. 154 million. So if they really intend to get under the 189 million, they have about 35 million allotted for Cano, the rotation etc. Unless of course A-Rod's suspension holds up, which means it's about 63 million. Maybe they are counting on this.

Very cool indeed!
-
I was J/K. I may have to try to put together a 2014 payroll AAV projection for the Yanks, just for fun.
-
I like how you included Cano there.
-
My initial reaction is that it's a logical signing for the Yanks.
-
Can the mod just move this to the Yankees forum.
-
Ross doesn't have to battle for anything though. He's our backup catcher and will be slated for 60 games or so. Which isn't to say he won't also be our best catcher.
-
McCann is reportedly about to sign with the Yankees.
-
That's your opinion, and I don't really disagree with it, but what other dollar formulas are out there that are better?
-
It's 2 counting the team option for 2015 at minimum salary - because of the TJ surgery - the contract had a clause about this.
-
According to FanGraphs Lackey has given $38.9 million value to the Sox so far. Big if, but if he can give them 2 more years of $15 million value that would be $69 million value on a cost of $83 million.
-
Sox have acquired RP Burke Badenhop from Milwaukee for a minor leaguer. Note: Badenhop's middle name is Heinrich.
-
'Shown interest' isn't saying much of course.
-
He's f***ed. He's just trying to take Selig down with him. At this point the best case for us is the Yankees have to keep paying him.
-
Depends on the closer. Many closers have registered 5-out saves, including Foulke and Papelbon. Uehara even did it this year.
-
True, but...in 1978, after Torrez exited with the score 3-2 Yankees, Bob Stanley gave up an RBI double to Munson and a home run to Reggie, and we ended up losing 5-4. And if Grady had a lights-out closer he likely would have removed Pedro for him.
-
I think it'll count as 4.28 million toward their cap every year for 7 years. The Red Sox are paying about 3.9 million a year for 3 years on the Dodger trade and that's what counts toward the cap for them.
-
I think my obsession with closers is because of the history of the Red Sox. So many of those epic defeats of the Sox, we blew the lead late in the game. 1975 Game 7, 1978 playoff game, 1986 Game 6, 2003 Game 7.
