Hearing rumors and suggestions of 2 things. 1) Cubs are desperately trying to move and/or dump $ and 2) Bryant discussions with Phillies/Braves have certainly taken place on him being traded. Cubs have spent 50 years to find a 3rd baseman and the second we get one who delivers a World Series title we have to trade him because of a few other bad contracts. Gotta love baseball finances! Didn't Baez come up as 3rd baseman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to Simmons. I always thought he belonged. And Miller revolutionized the game, no matter what you think of free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cringe at the idea of paying any player that much but in open markets....willing buyer/willing seller so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Cole has never lost a game in his career when gets 5 runs or more. 51-0 is his record. I think Yankees averaged just under 6 last year. If Cole can get them 4-5 wins next season in the playoffs this signing will be worth every penny.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 It's nice to see the Steinbrenner boys give the go-ahead to spend the money. I"m sure Dad would have been proud! I have felt the Yankees needed to upgrade the pitching for the last 3 years and they have done it in a big way. I feel like Santa came early!

You can imagine my excitement when, while watching the Hoosiers play at MSG, they announce the Yankee/Cold signing! It doesn't get any better than that!

IU Scott Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 9 years for a 29 year old pitcher is a big risk. it will work for a few years but those last 4 or 5 years could be interesting but the Yankees can afford bad contracts.

At least the Yankees blow money on active players. Worst contract in MLB history? Bobby Bonilla's Mets buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I guess there was a fake account of Rosenthal that tweeted that the Reds had signed OF Costelenos(?). On the message board people were excited until they saw it was a fake account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
