Awesome, he's 2 for 31 now.  The Brandon Wood of MLB Executive Burner accounts.

6/90, comments im reading are that he wanted 90M over 4 but the Yanks gave him more years to keep the AAV down.
15M for him should make a few other bats look a lot more reasonable even if he isnt a couple years wrong side of 30.
Offense is looking like a much better investment this off season than pitching.  Relivers getting the same as one of the better bats is, odd. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

I wonder if the Yanks will go after Tanaka now? their close to 180 mil in payroll with the lemahieu signing. 

 

Besides Cole there rotation is a question mark 

 

[Vlad27Trout27]

We're about a month away from catchers and pitchers reporting....

 

I still think we'll land Bauer

and if not

I think Tanaka would be plan B.

If this is true, this takes the Dodgers out of the Bauer sweep stakes.

Looks like the Mets are turning there attention towards the Bullpen and cheap outfield options. sounds like there out of Bauer and Springer.

Jay are clearly in the lead for Springer.

leaves us with a path to Bauer.

The only team that worries be is the White sox, they have know to spend money and are willing to spend.

I don't think the Dodgers were ever interested in Bauer. I mean they're just loaded in SP. 

Kershaw, Buehler, Gonsolin, May, Urias and they have Josiah Gray and Mitchell White ready to go as well. Their 1st round pick in 2020 Bobby Miller is close as well, kind of like Reid Detmers in terms of being near major league ready.

Seems like Dodgers were keeping Turner as a back-up plan while trying to land Lemahieu on the cheap. 

I agree players are all lined up to get us Bauer

And that's after losing Maeda, Greinke, Darvish, Hill, Strippling, and probably more I can't think of. 

Geeze they have been loaded

Arbitration:

[Hubs]

Angels SIgned Mayers and Suzuki too.

[angelsnationtalk]

Looks like Arbitration players are signing for a bit less that what MLBTR and Spotrac had listed. I like it. 

[angelsnationtalk]

Angels have signed Kurt Suzuki for 1yr/$1.5M. Now they can focus on pitching. 

[Erstad Grit]

I am glad we are avoiding arbitration. I know they're professional athletes, but going into arbitration where we say how bad they are in hopes of saving a few hundred thousand just isn't ideal IMO.

What are Bundy, Pena, and Ohtani projected to get?
