Do you all remember the myriad trade scenarios from old Karl to get King Felix every season? He's probably out there somewhere, trying to get Felix in pinstripes.  |

First he needs to get Melky, Igawa, and IPK back to offer in trade... Melky, Igawa, and IPK, the best trade package ever! |

Speaking of: somehow IPK won the closer job on KC. He saved 30 games, the only 30 saves of his career. I wonder if that is the most saves ever for a pitcher who got all of his saves in one season. Is he a new trivial question winner,

Except for the Pokémon comparison, this was a fine representation of many fans’ feelings this hot-stove season: www.pinstripealley.com/2021/1/28/22254055/mlb-yankees-offseason-masahiro-tanaka-japan-return-rakuten-eagles-sgtjs-one-last-time“Over his seven years (Tanaka) earned an estimated $140.5 million. His value over those seven years has been $150.8 million. Bringing Tanaka back made too much sense for the Yankees, and yet here we are. The richest franchise in the league crying poor and trying to avoid a luxury tax that is essentially peanuts for them.” “TV and streaming service blackouts still exist for some reason when everyone and everything is moving digital. I’ve said it before, but I will never not be impressed with MLB’s desire to grow the game while simultaneously making sure no one watches.“ “This one really stings.“ (On Tanaka not being signed) |

While Bauer had a great year last year I really don't think his career numbers over just over 500 and a 3.90 era is worth 40 something million.

Cole on the other hand is almost 50 games over 500 with a 3.19 era

The Dodgers, reigning World Series champions, suddenly don’t have room for either pitcher in their 2021 five-man rotation, now that they’ve added 2020 NL Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer to the mix. Bauer and the Dodgers reportedly agreed on a three-year deal Friday afternoon, worth $102 million. Bauer will make $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022, and he has opt-outs after each of the first two years.
I can ONLY guess that $1.5 million/year was too expensive for the Yankees???!!!
