Well, at least the Rays blew a six run lead in the 8th and lost in extra innings.

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 Bump this article to the next page. |

Yea I saw it. I don't think you take the bottom number, 189 million, the projected competitive balance payroll. I don't know what that is. I think you take the number above it, 231 million, the total payroll. I'm no expert here, obviously. |

The one thing this team needed to do for this series was to avoid being swept. Now they need the young German to come up big tomorrow night to make sure that doesn't happen.

German has been looking so good since his return until he ran into a buzzsaw in his last start. Maybe he can get back to doing what he was and be the one to break this pattern...

I don't think that's the case. |
