So this prob takes them out on Bauer but makes it more likely for a Tanaka return.

Kluber is worth the 11M for one year. We just have to be very careful about anything multi-year beyond that. Take CC for instance. After 34 he went 43-42 with a +104 ERA, but his innings grew short and his injuries frequent... I do feel a bit like he’s CC # 2, but for a year? Yep. Let’s do this...

So this brings the Yankees to 189 million if they have to pay ellsbury. That's 21 million available.

My apologies for not rejoicing....This is the pitching equivalent of signing Travis Hafner, Troy Tulowitzki, Brian Roberts, etc. Kluber hasn’t thrown meaningful innings since 2018. The losses of Masahiro Tanaka and James Paxton and (even Jay Happ) are significant. If the Yankees resign Tanaka, then I can accept taking a chance on Kluber. If not, then this is a mollifying move to the causal fan in not pursuing the best starting pitcher available in Bauer. Replacing Paxton and Tanaka with Bauer was the move to make it back to the World Series.

Replacing Paxton and Tanaka with Bauer was the move to make it back to the World Series. I think Yankees are hoping that 150 innings of German and a 100 innings of Garcia will replace Happ & Paxton. Paxton only pitched 20 innings last season and he was terrible with a 6+ ERA and I hope I'm wrong, but he looks like a future surgery candidate to me. |

I guess I was just happy that they were doing something after so much inactivity lol. But you really expected the crying poor Yankees to go after Bauer? I just hope they can get Tanaka now. |
