They offered 11.7 million, would that have been under the second threshold? I am unclear on that or what the number is. Yea, I'm not clear either. Either way just go over the damn threshold! According to spotrac.com, the Yankees are 16,533,494 million under the luxury tax threshold. |

Charlie Morton was the one to get but they passed on him. 2.6 era 163k in 131 innings .200 ba against. Then they signed Happ? In hindsight sure. But Morton looked old and injury prone in the offseason. I agree settling for Happ was not wise. I didn’t think Morton or Lance Lynn were realistic good signings. They both have been very good this season. I don’t think they made bad decisions. Their rotation is just all slumping at the same time right now. |

He hasn’t been great for Atlanta. He isn’t striking anyone out and is giving up his share of hits. His ERA looks good in that league but i’m Not sure he does more for us than move Green and Nestor out of the 5 spot. |

I don't know. There was an article saying Cashman didn't want to go over another luxury tax tier. I'll try to find it.

MLB rumors: Yankees’ Brian Cashman explains Dallas Keuchel whiffCashman said it was important to the Yankees that they didn’t exceed the $246 million luxury tax threshold. Exceeding it would mean that owner Hal Steinbrenner would have to pay a 62 percent penalty on every dollar spent over the $206-million initial threshold and it would push back the Yankees’ top pick 10 spots for next season. Here’s Cashman’s full breakdown on the talks with Keuchel, whom the Yankees scouted as he worked out in California weeks ago: “We were interested. We made an offer that we were comfortable with and that was it. Atlanta made a higher one. It wasn’t like a back-and-forth. We had two that we ultimately made and we stopped and we waited to hear if it was a yes or a no. We were very transparent about where we’re at. There’s a financial limitation until we go into the next luxury tax level and that was obviously conveyed and that pushes next year’s No. 1 (top draft choice) pick back. There’s a number of different penalties associated with that. So we’re trying to stay under the second luxury tax penalty that crushes next year’s pick. All that stuff was communicated. Our highest offer was at the rate of the qualifying offer and Atlanta apparently went higher.” www.nj.com/yankees/2019/06/mlb-rumors-yankees-brian-cashman-explains-dallas-keuchel-whiff.html

His ERA looks good in that league but i’m Not sure he does more for us than move Green and Nestor out of the 5 spot. He’s a ground ball pitcher. His career K/9 is 7.1, and he is at 7.0 thus far through seven starts. His career H/9 is 8.6 and he is at 8.5. |

The site said it was up to date, so I had assumed the answer is yes. |
