    Wow. I liked the Harper contract from the beginning but it looks even better now. 

    That’s ridiculous money for a pitcher.

    Counterpoint, the yankees are a better and smarter organization and many people, many people are saying it’s scary that they’re only going after the right guys these days. If the Yankees don’t want them, you shouldn’t either

    In the words of a very wise yankees fan...males shouldn't be jealous, that's a female trait.

    But I guess its natural...

    I'm not paying the guy, you're not paying the guy.  Please if Middleton spent the money on Cole, you'd be calling the World Series now.

    If you say so. Hey man, your team is definitely better right now. So that's awesome and congrats.

    And if you end up winning a couple titles, this will obviously have been well worth it. If not.....yeesh.

    I mean, of course. But they have the best young core of players on the cheap that they have had in 20 plus years, they have won 200+ Games over the past two seasons, could taste the World Series in 2 of the last 3 seasons and happen to be the richest team in the sport, while the only Missing piece is a true ace and the best pitcher in baseball is on the market.  If not now, then when. I didn’t think they’d do it because I didn’t trust Hal, but of course not winning will be yeesh.  Just why I think the contract is irrelevant if they were willing to do it. What’s the different between 280, 300 and 325 to this team right now? Nothing.
