I feel like every one of the free agents is just not that good, ancient, or has already had a turn with the Yankees, or is too expensive for us tight-ass Yankees... yuck. Let’s get Venditte, the platypus of relievers. You get two arms for the price of one... |

WTF? Well that's a surprise for sure. I expected them to get out from under Ottavino’s contract, but not to the Red Sox. Well, he’s their problem now. Too bad he wasn’t able to continue to be the wipe out reliever we signed. He def was effected by the have to face 3 batters rule. |

He def was effected by the have to face 3 batters rule. I think it was more that he lost command of both his fastball and slider. We started to see that in the playoffs against Houston in 2019, and it carried over to 2020. |

Better Japan than say the Blue Jays but still makes me sad. No need to cry for Tanaka. We are just a faint acknowledgment to him. He made a few bucks off his fans. The Yanks not bidding for him still allows him the dignity of finishing his career back at home, and perhaps spared him the indignity of getting beaten out of MLB... |

Realmuto signs again with Philly for five years and 115.5 million dollars. Glad he’s in the National League and not in the AL East.

O’Day receives a $1.75MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $1.4MM player option with a $700K buyout, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. He’ll actually make the first decision, and if he opts for the buyout, the Yankees then have a $3.15MM club option over the righty.
Technically, because O’Day is guaranteed this year’s $1.75MM salary and that $1.4MM player option, one could call this a $3.15MM guarantee over a two-year term. However, since only the buyout is technically factored into the guarantee under the luxury tax, it’s a one-year, $2.45MM deal for luxury purposes. Ultimately, if O’Day pitches well enough to decline that player option but still have the club option exercised, it seems he can earn a total of $5.6MM between 2021-22.

A 38-year old knuckle scraper? Every team should have one. Now, please get us Oliver Perez so we can have one for each platoon...

We seem to be signing a lot of pitchers who haven't played much in the last 2 years. Maybe they'll be fresh?
