[The Captain]

Just you watch, there's going to be a deal that makes Judge's AAV and total look like a steal within the next five years.

Ohtani next year I think will sign close to the richest deal in sports history, surpassing Mahomes

At the end of next season he will be 29 years old. I am expecting a close to $500M deal. Trout signed a 12/$426M deal.

Adam Frazier signs with the O's

I am surprised they haven't been more active in the FA market considering the step up they took this year

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

Thrilled the Giants didn’t hit that Rodon/Yankees contract. Rodon is really really good. But his health history is scary. A lot of years and a lot of money for someone who’s not quite a sure thing.

[ghost]

Yankees have signed Rodon. Six years, $162 million.

Yankees rotation is stacked.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

I am fine with that deal

Yankees come in with a strong rotation now of:
Cole
Rodon
Cortes
Sevy
Montas

Most stacked Yankees rotation have been in years

This guy has been injured so much over the years, I have to ask, does this man have anything left in the tank?

[sfvega]

Yeah, that's closer to what he's worth, but still has some downside. But if Cole/Severino/Rodon are healthy and on, that's a strong rotation in October.

Before the injury this year he was pitching really well 

In the end he still got 19 starts with a 3.18 ERA. You take that especially if Montas rebounds the way you hope so whoever of those two has the best season gets the 4 spot in playoffs

He has a no trade clause as expected

I can’t wait until they lose 2 in a row and that one guy goes off the deep end again. I loved his Yankees takes throughout the season!

[horsemen4ever]

Alright I guess Cashman is not so useless, but still need to improve the offense.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

I can see them getting some arms for the BP (possibly bringing back Britton) and signing Brantley and calling it a day

Assuming they really want to move Josh to get his spot off the roster, I can see them paying majority of his salary for next year to move him

You getting right to the point, I am more excited of guys who might be off the team than added to the teams. Get Donaldson and Hicks out of here, and that I am happy. They make me ill.

Hicks is most likely to stay on team due to money he is owed and since they are actively looking for another OF, he will be a 5th OF if anything 

Donaldson is more likely to get traded but probably not until closer to end of off-season when someone like Washington or Colorado may take him on just cause Yankees basically giving him up for free

Mets signed Jose Peraza to a minor league deal.

BENCH MOB IS BACK BABY! 🤣

Edit: Mets signing Omar Narvaez. I guess time is up for McCann (I hope)

What does this mean for Alvarez? I’d like to see him in the bigs from the start of the season

And Albert Pujols getting $24 million per year from the Angels is now dwarfed by other contracts, but it’s still a historically awful contract.

Sure, someone like Shohei Ohtani or Kyle Tucker or whoever might come along and get $45 to $50 million annually, but the Yankees won’t be throwing themselves a party when they’re paying $40 million to Aaron Judge in his late-30s to play DH and hit like A-Rod in 2016.
