Same reason Toronto did?
-
Besides no Machado, it could mean one of three things 1. The Yankees gave up on Tulowitzki already. 2. The Yankees don’t anticipate Gregorius coming back as soon as originally thought (which is the least likely). 3. The Yankees are not so wild about Bird/Voit at first. LeMahieu is like 6’5” and athletic enough that the new position shouldn’t be an issue... I think it’s a combo of 1 and 3...

No. Agents have short memories when it comes to this kind of thing...
-
It means they soured on Tulowitzki faster than expected...
-
Actually most of them are still active and could be traded yet. I don’t expect Pujols or Cabrera to move, with the others? It’s still possible. In fact, Alex Rodriguez is the only player to sign a $200mill+ contract and finish it with the same team...

For what it’s worth, my calendar projects it to be January 10....
-
As much of a commitment as these massive contracts are, it might be worth noting that only 12 contracts in MLB history have exceeded $200mill, and four of those players (Stanton, ARod, Cano, Prince Fielder) were actually traded during these mega deals. So historically any team signing Machado or Harper has a 1 in 3 chance of pawning that deal off on someone else at some point...

$30 million....

I do think he’s better than Marrero at the plate, but his is going to spend his career batting 8th or 9th. Hopefully he is good enough, because as of now, he might be shortstopping in Boston in 15 months...
-
And they’re having a crazy off-season. I think they’ve been involved in almost every trade so far...
-
I'm actually shocked he hasn't. How is Michael Chavis still in this organization?
-
And THAT is why they are not getting Harper...
-
Or the Reds, who just extended theirs? Or the Braves, who have Flowers and McCann? Dodgers, Astros, and Padres make sense. But it won’t be the Padres, since the Marlins will insist on Tatis...
-
Hey I’ve been defending his bullpen approach for 2 weeks now and decided he is having a Very Notin Off-Season, which actually may not be a good thing...
-
Dormant Dave?
-
The Craig Hansen Approach!! More likely they leave him in AA until (at minimum) after the Super Two date. I know he was considered one of the more/most MLB-ready players in his draft class, but that doesn’t really give any insight into his actual ceiling. He is the #10 prospect in a weak system, after all...
-
He figured out to not catch up to a fastball?
-
Feltman might even pitch in the majors this year, although if he is closing it probably means something went horribly wrong. Either way I would think the goal is that he get some IP above A ball this year before he becomes an option...

Red Sox-Yankees rivalry extends to offseason
notin replied to BillyWilliams's topic in Other Baseball
Play in vs play off? Wow. Who cares? It’s a one game winner take all scenario no matter how you label it. Tell you what - we’ll call it a “play-in” game when the Sox are in it but a “playoff” game when the Yankees are in one. That way you can maintain some hypocrisy about the whole scenario and have some minutiae to troll over. Happy? -
There is a “Fun with Baseball Names” thread on the General Baseball forum. And no baseball name ever is funnier than Tim Spooneybarger...

Red Sox-Yankees rivalry extends to offseason
notin replied to BillyWilliams's topic in Other Baseball
And really going after the minutiae here. While it was a regular season game, that game in 1978 was constantly referred to as a “one game playoff.” And as it was a “winner take all,” it really served that purpose. Any sport that has a single game with high postseason stakes like that is often referred to as “effectively a playoff game.” It’s not really up for being teased about in the same fashion as Jacko saying the Yankees playoff hopes were decided by a diving catch that happened in a completely different series... -
If that was the case, Feltman would have been added to the 40 man roster...

Really? If you’re limited to trolling about that level, your permit needs to be revoked. I mean, is this really the best you have? -
Kimbrel for 2/$36mill and then sign Allen for 1/$8....

I couldn’t guarantee Encarnacion didn’t play there...
