You’ve repeatedly been looking them up, because they’re great. But, remember how Trout is also great? Trout is so great he’s been as good as Machado and Harper combined. I am not making that up, and this is not some manufactured hot take. The numbers are just sitting right there.”

He was certainly great in 2015 and even in 2017, but for the rest of his career, he's just been very good. Nothing wrong with being very good, but I don't get all the fuss because not every team in the league wants to line up and pay this guy 30+ million per season. |

Pretty stressful |

Pretty stressful I hadn’t read or heard of this before... Perhaps that’s how he learned to pull everything... (Sorry, you know I HAD to say that, right)?... |

I was told today by my brother that the Yankees say they are at or over the salary cap after the Severino agreement. I find that hard to believe if indeed they claimed it (can't find any link).

This has been another episode of “Russ’s Believe It Or Not”... Yes, Russ. They are over... And in case you’re wondering... There IS a Santa Claus, too... |

Cha ching, Arenado should probably thank Machado for this little financial bonanza he's about to experience.
