He'll easily get 15 million+ per year, probably closer to 20 if we weren't in the middle of this pandemic. Plus, he is also rumored to have a huge offer to return to Japan to pitch in the Japanese league. Why would he retire? Because of the World Famous Noetsi Regression Modeling... He’s definitely still a 15-20 million per year guy. Returning to Japan could become an option if NY doesn’t want him... He may not play elsewhere in the states... I'd take Tanaka back on the Yankees, but my first option would be Bauer. Tanaka is still underrated by some Yankee fans. |

If we could fade Tanaka toward the back of the rotation, that would be ideal. Look to get 5-6 innings from him. He’s a guy who has some ace-like outings, but isn’t quite consistent enough to be a #2, even a bit shaky at #3. He’s an ideal guy to age out at #4, then #5 as the years pass... like we did CC. When you get those great outings from him, they’ll be a bit of an unexpected treat... |

Tanaka has a better career ERA and WHIP than Bauer, and Tanaka is a model citizen without personal baggage entering the clubhouse or Twitterverse. That being said, resigning Tanaka does not negate the possibility of also signing Bauer, especially if the Happ, Paxton and Ellsbury contracts are gone. |

PLEASE hop0e that the Tank goes away!!!
WE SHOULD SIGN LIAM AS FA
Reliever Of The Year Awarded To Liam Hendriks, Devin Williams
Hendriks takes home the Mariano Rivera American League Reliever Of Year Award after saving 14 games in 24 appearances with a 1.78 ERA/1.14 FIP and 13.1 K/9 to 1.1 BB/9 across 25 1/3 innings.
It was the second consecutive stellar campaign for the native Australian.
He posted a 1.80 ERA/1.87 FIP in 75 games (85 innings) while notching 25 saves in 2019. In the postseason, he impressed with a scoreless 3-inning outing with the season on the line in game three of the ALDS against Houston.
Unfortunately, it would be his final appearance of the year, as Oakland would bow out of the postseason tourney in the next game.

IF I WERE CASH = I would look at signing him to 1-2 year deal with heavy incentives + I think he would be worth the gamble = Plus we do not lose a player (s).
Rangers Plan To Decline Corey Kluber’s 2021 Option
The Rangers plan to decline Corey Kluber’s $18MM option for the 2021 season, reports T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com (via Twitter). They’ll instead pay him a $1MM buyout. Texas could still look to re-sign Kluber to a more affordable pact, Sullivan adds.
Texas acquired Kluber on the cheap from the Indians last winter, sending reserve outfielder Delino DeShields Jr. and reliever Emmanuel Clase to Cleveland.
It was a move clearly motivated by Cleveland’s desire to cut salary, but in retrospect it hasn’t paid dividends for either club. Kluber suffered a Grade 2 teres major strain in his first start with Texas — an injury that ended his 2020 season after just one inning.
Up in Cleveland, DeShields was an unproductive member of a below-average outfield group, while Clase suffered a teres major strain of his own in March before being hit with an 80-game PED suspension in May.
This marked the second straight injury-ruined season for Kluber, although the 2019 issues were fluky in nature. Kluber suffered a fractured forearm when he was hit by a comebacker early in the year and then sustained a significant oblique injury while working through his rehab process.
He posted just a 5.80 ERA in 35 2/3 frames in 2019, though that was accompanied by a far more palatable 4.06 ERA, and he did punch out 38 hitters in that time.
Of course, Kluber’s overall track record is superlative. He’s a two-time American League Cy Young Award winner — plus another pair of top-three finishes — and a three-time All-Star.
From 2014-18, he was unequivocally on the short list of MLB’s most dominant pitchers, working to a combined 2.85 ERA with 10.1 K/9 against 1.8 BB/9 over the life of 1091 1/3 innings.
Kluber is now 34 years old and will turn 35 next April, so there’s reason for genuine concern that he’s past his prime. That said, few pitchers can match the upside he brings to the table, and that track record alone should be enough to get him interest on an incentive-laden one-year contract.
It sounds as though Texas unsurprisingly would welcome the opportunity to bring him back into the fold, but Kluber seems likely to also generate interest from contending clubs, which could appeal to him at this juncture of his excellent career.

I’m not in love with the idea of trying to resurrect the career of Corey Kluber. We already have Severino on the mend, maybe James Paxton, too. I’d rather find someone who is more likely to be a healthy specimen...
