...yeah , I was thinking maybe 6 years/120 might get it done...not gonna complain but I'm sure there will predictably those who will.
...been saying all along that 189 was not gonna happen...and now that it's in the rear view mirror, hopefully they will continue to spend.
...yup, like I said, there will always be those who like to find fault in virtually everything the Yanx do, no matter what.
Ok but who would they continue to spend on? I am think balfour? How about a back up for Tex? Maybe Morales or another starter?
...this take a lot of the sting out of losing Cano...he's now a distant memory. ...also liking the idea that Nova is now probably our #4...looking much better.
...not sure but I'd think a closer and/or another infielder...btw, just now noticed you had posted the same Tanaka news at the same time....I'll split the profits with you.
...meh, the Dodgers did it with Kershaw...it mostly helps to keep the salary down a bit. If he does opt out after 4 years, it means he's been dominant, and I'll take 4 years of dominant pitching any day.
yeah, and after the 4 years, I believe there will be no more contracts for CC, A-Rod, Tex, etc. to straddle the team...
I am very happy, and as I have said all along, now Balfour please, and Drew... I feel that the Yankees by getting Tanaka now assume they are in the hunt, which will dictate other moves now that 189 is over.

Whats not being said also is the huge marketing plus this will be for the yanks with Kuroda, Ichiro and now Tanaka here. Japan loves their baseball and mlb and every set will be tuned into the yankees. Will probably pay for that contract many times over. And lastly now that their over the 189 they will probably crush it with Balfour, drew and depending how stiff that tex wrist is maybe morales. This is why I love being a yankee fan. Eat it the rest of you mlb whiners. The Yanks are back.
