I think the owners are finally waking up to a degree and only a team like a white sox and phillies desperate to make a splash will even look at these long term contracts anymore. If machado wants to play here it will 5, 6 or 7 years most.
That Yankee infield is shaping nice with quality personnel and Didi on the mend with something to come back to. Still wonder about the Voit/Bird combo at first.
Yeah, baby! He's one of the guys I wanted our team to go out and get. We don't need Machado or Harper. https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-add-infielder-dj-lemahieu/c-302615720?tid=282421090
Luis Severino did not agree to a Contract and is expected to head to an Arbitration Hearing as per Bronx Bombers Beat.
The Yankees have agreed to terms with Betances, Bird, Gray, Gregorious, Hicks, Kahnle, Paxton, and Romine on a 1Year Deal avoiding Arbitration.
^^^^^and here lies why athletes think they are worth more than their actual worth! After the first week of July 2018 Severino was worth 2 empty plastic soda bottles.......with no refund!
^^^^^and why is Gray still being given a one year deal by Trashbin? Oh yeah, nobody offered Trashbin a top prospect for the POS!
Per comments I heard today on MLB Network Cashman still wants to move Gray but is being cautious because of Biggies health problems. Re-signing Biggie may cause more issues than they are worth. Gray has shown that he can't sub for any one on the roster.
I had a Psychotic Psychic Channel The Singing Cowboy: On Zori Shohei - (cheap nagahyde nippon imported house shoes [aka zori]); Ohtani.... "if I wanted a bitch, I would of bought a Dog in a Kimono..." "I should've bought an Akita" (G. Autry)....
this is why our GM is a named after a dumpster diver. He cannot correct a bad signing. No takers?? Seriously?? I'd of taken a batboy for Gray, or the 30th pick, 1,214th pick of the 40th round in the next draft....
Discussing the 10 best 3rd Basemen now on the fan vote side Andujar came in at # 8. Per Mike Lowell the hid is a hitting machine and his defense can be fixed. Per an ESPN Article I saw today the Yankees are betting on Andujar as well. Damn good news, I don't want the Yankees to quit on the young player and sign over priced Prima Donnas.
The Yankees have announced today that they officially have reached a 2 Year Agreement with DJ LeMahieu and Designate Tim Locastro for Assignment.
