    Sttttttaaacked team. 

    Cole, severino, Paxton, Tanaka, Monty/german

    Green, otto, britton, Chapman, should def bring back Betances but kinda doubt it.

    djlm, andujar, Torres, judge, Stanton, Gary, voit (maybe), Gardner. I think they need more infield depth but we’ll see.

    But the reality for the rest of baseball is far more grim, for the signing of Cole isn’t a blast from the past, but an embodiment of the game’s worst fears. The Yankees are well-run, well-heeled and well-schooled in the art of reeling in the big fish. And as a result, the best pitcher in the game joins a team that will be favored to win the World Series. It happened not because of impulse or short-sighted thinking, but because a calculated process rooted in data led the Yankees to a clear conclusion.

    I look forward to watching one of the richest franchises in the game cut payroll and get rid of one of the best home grown players in the game, all in the name of saving money.

    Lots of calculation "reeling" a player in with a third of a billion dollars.  Cant believe he accepted.  Yankees must have a jedi mind trick

    If they trade Betts, its not in the name of saving money, its because he won't sign an extension and is set on going to free agency.
    They are trying to deal Astro's Dad in order to wave more cash at Mookie, but he basically is sticking to the plan of becoming a FA after next season.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    There is absolutely no reason, free agency or not, that Betts should not play for the Red Sox, unless he wants out.  The team is a year off winning a world series and he is an MVP player. It makes no sense.
