    Awwwwww Tanaka, you lovable son of a bitch!!  Fly home...go home!

    Bummed about this one big time.

    That linked Ottavio piece with all of the pictures?
    The one that I laughed out loud at was the one with Tanaka shirtless.  Jesus - baseball players are classic.  Looks like a regular old, in reasonable shape, 30 year old guy....not a $20MM per year athlete. 
    I did see that but no...he's going to be going back to Japan and in general he is just an adorable human haha

    Tanaka's career with the Yankees was interesting and enjoyable to watch a lot. That game three performance in 2017 was great.

    I wouldn't be surprised if another reason besides money for Tanaka is the differing responses by this country and Japan to the pandemic factored into his desire to go back to Japan.

    I think outfielders have an advantage in WAR. Mattingly was a better 1st baseman than Gardner as an outfielder. Not that Gardner is bad. Still taking Mattingly over Gardner 100 times out of a 100 though.

    Yankees sign Jay Bruce to a minor league deal. It doesn't mean they won't re-sign Gardner

    Giancarlo gets paid 30 million dollars to not take a swing when it matters.
