MLB needs to significantly raise the luxury tax threshold and add a spending floor. If the Yankees want to hand out to spend on star players whose contract will eventually hurt them later, let them. And honestly, it's pathetic that teams like the Indians and Pirates have what, $40 mill payrolls?

Very good point.

Interesting that he didn't just dickishly dismiss it, the typical Stone way.

Agreed. The offseason is so fucking boring, especially this one.

Thanks!

Yep. He wanted to beat Kikuchi's deal with Seattle. Picked a bad year to come over. Luckily, he got 4 years and 3 opt outs with his old team.

Anyone have the full weekday schedule?

If there was ever a year for Bauer to accept a one year, high AAV deal...

Yeah next step is to throw a pile of money in his lap. Basically like your White Sox/Betts idea except in this scenario, it's realistic.

Might as well try to deal Ramirez in next year.

I really wish the DH in the NL was resolved. You'd probably have more guys like Nelson Cruz and Michael Brantly with homes.

If they sign Hendrix, I still hope they sign another too. Just stack the pen.

LeMahieu could play third. Or Lux could move there.

Get out of here with that logic!

Keuchel I believe.

If he ends up settling for a one year deal to try again next off-season post-pandemic (hopefully) with no QO attached, we should be all over it.

Sign Hendriks and another reliever and you don't have to worry about not having Crochet in the bullpen (until the stretch run).

Amazing that most deals that looks bad and "unmovable" is in fact, movable.

Hilarious...

Agreed 100%.

I could see it being one of those big moves where more than 4/5 guys is dealt. Similar to the Clevinger deal.

That's not how Jerry operates unfortunately. Won't sign anyone to a long-term deal that he likely won't even be around to pay (the back end anyway).
