I cant believe the Yankees wouldnt do $25m It probably would have took more than 25m. All things equal, I don't think Monty picks the Yankees. Not gonna pretend I understand the LT, but I think I read the penalty for going over the final threshold is 110%. If I understand that correctly the real cost of that contract to the Yankees would have been north of $50mm. |

1 year 25 mil, vesting option for 2nd year dunno what the vesting part requires. I cant believe the Yankees wouldnt do $25m They might have if they weren't passed the top L-Tax threshold. A 25 million dollar contract for Monty would cost the Yankees 52 million. |

Orioles with a cupcake schedule to start the year  :
They play the Angels, then the Royals, then the Pirates, then the Red Sox, then a week later the Royals and Pirates again, then the Athletics.

It evens out Kaybli. Just means they'll have a tougher stretch later. I noticed Houston's first ten games are against the Yankees, Blue Jays and Rangers. Tough for them too. BTW before the Yankees game I was watching Angels-Orioles. Their brand new owner David Rubinstein was in the booth for an inning, and I have to say that guy knows his baseball history. He would do well on the Minutiae thread. |

The Rays had an easy early schedule like that last year and got off to a great start. |

I just saw a story that claimed the Phillies are considering Zack Greinke after the Walker injury. Is there a stranger fit in baseball than Greinke and the fans of the Phillies ?

He got really lit up today 5 inn 12 hits 6 Runs ... he did K 6 and didnt walk a batter I don't wish Severino well or ill. He was what he was. And despite the nonsense about him solving his "sleep issue" problem and his "tipping pitches" problem, the truth is that as a Yankee, he relied on overpowering stuff and was never really learned how to pitch, as shown in his postseason record. The truth about Severino is that he's now a 30-year-old power pitcher who's had his best stuff diminished by age and multiple injuries. Not a lot, just enough to become very hittable because his command/location and pitch sequencing are poor. Today's effort against, at best, a very average Brewers' lineup shows again he has far to go in learning how to use his remaining stuff to get hitters out and win games. I don't think he's going to get there. I think he might yet have a career as a one or two-inning reliever, if his ego will permit it. |

Sevy was a good Yankee but just could not shake the injuries and inconsistency. Had to move on.

I was at Yankee Stadium for Sevy's first start in 2015, and he looked like great things were coming. He was poised and unflappable even after giving a long home run to Ortiz. After a good initial season, he stunk in season 2, but bounced back in 17' and 18' and won 33 games. After that, injuries took their toll for a couple years, but showed signs of life in 22'. 23' was as bad as it gets, and it was time to move on. Long term great pitchers are rare and there are a million reasons for that. |
