The Yankees dodged a bullet with Corbin . He had 2 good seasons ( 2013-18) Other than that he is a career 4.0 ERA . 140 for that? DeGrom must be worth 200+ with his career 2.6 ERA Corbin isn’t even that good, he’s the best in what was a weak free agent starting pitchers market. If I was DeGrom I would not take anything less than 4-5 years at $150 million.

Chase is an absolute launching pad. If you can pitch well there, you can pitch well anywhere. That doesn't appear to be the case.... @ Chase Field : 3.52 ERA WHIP 1.24 Away from Chase: 4.33 ERA WHIP 1.33 Fenway Park: 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA and 2.48 WHIP SSS I think you may want to rethink that... Corbin is better off staying in the NL.... His numbers look scary though.

MLB could kill the shift... Changes to the way teams line up -- and are allowed to line up -- defensively could be coming to Major League Baseball. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has received "strong" backing from baseball's competition committee to try to "put something in place" to limit shifts, The Athletic's Jayson Stark reported Wednesday. Manfred has encouraged the idea of limiting shifts to help stimulate offense since January 2015 when he first took the job as commissioner. At last month's owners meetings, the competition committee shared their support with Manfred on a potential anti-shift rule change, and Stark reported that the next step would be passing it through the players' union. Stark went so far as to say that some sort of shift rule could be in place "by opening day 2019." "I think it's a layup to get approved by the players," a front-office source told Stark. However, 54 of 62 players polled in June by USA Today were opposed to limits being placed on defensive shifts. www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-commissioner-rob-manfred-gaining-support-to-limit-defensive-shifts-report-says/

I agree. If you want 8 guys on the first base side vs a lefty so be it. The hitter needs to learn how to adjust. More bunting to get on base is smart baseball.

Well, Corbin to the Nats, Eovaldi to Boston. Great move by Boston IMO. Yankees traded for Paxton but are still far behind in the rotation, especially since they traded their LHP about to make it to the bigs.
Happ is the last pitcher on a short list of worthy pitchers. Maybe they have a trade up their sleeves?

Maybe they have a trade up their sleeves? 4 years, $67MM is a huge contract for a guy that hasn't done much at all. he was great in the post season of course but that's a huge commitment.
Oh well....It's not my money.

I think it's a great move. He can be flat out dominant at times. And anytime he faces the Yankees right handed heavy lineup, it neutralizes them. He was the pitcher I wanted but the Yanks didnt want to go past 3 years. They are killing them selves with these limits when they went out and blew their load on Stanton. Pitching will continue to be the weakest link for the Yankees in 2019.

Thank God.
I'll have a very hard time rooting for him. Not a fan of his personality.

I'd be much better off with that. Personally, I would have focused on pitching and a lead off hitter though. But that ship has sailed. Get Harper to play 1st base. Judge Harper Stanton 2-3-4 They need another lefty bat.

The dogging does bother me but its not like guys like Cano didnt do that. I'd be more pissed off about him being a total d-bag trying to injure other players.

Cashman makes it clear where Yankees stand on Bryce Harper. LAS VEGAS — Just because Brian Cashman has engaged Manny Machado’s representative in conversations about the free-agent infielder doesn’t mean the Yankees are fitting Machado for a uniform. However, it does put Machado ahead of outfielder Bryce Harper when it comes to the jewels of the free-agent class because of a very simple reason: There is room for Machado in the infield and no vacancy in the outfield. Sitting in a suite in the Delano Hotel on the second day of MLB’s flesh-dealing market, Cashman was bored by inquiries about Harper possibly becoming a Yankee. nypost.com/2018/12/10/cashman-makes-it-clear-where-yankees-stand-on-bryce-harper/

Mets, Yankees involved in three-way trade discussions with Marlins on J.T. Realmuto LAS VEGAS – Only in Las Vegas. In his bold pursuit of Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen raised the stakes – having dangled Noah Syndergaard and courted the Yankees in an attempt to make it happen. As first reported by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the Yanks, Mets and Marlins have discussed three-team trade scenarios that would put Realmuto behind the plate at Citi Field. As per reports, and including an industry source, there were no deals in the works on Monday night, the first full day of baseball’s Winter Meetings at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. But the concept is tantalizing to say the least. The need for Yankees’ prospects and/or controllable big-league talent could be required to complete any such deal, negating the prospect haul that a team like the Dodgers provide. And the idea of Syndergaard moving into the Yanks’ rotation to facilitate such a deal was just one of many different trade discussions the Mets have had according to a source. But talk about a high-limit game… www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2018/12/11/mets-yankees-marlins-trade-discussions-j-t-realmuto/2274271002/

Yankees are getting themselves in hot water if Happ goes to the Phillies.
Losing out on the top 3 FA pitchers.
Kuechel is probably #4.
They may be serious about a trade to get another pitcher if this happens which Im not too sure I like because most likely it would involve Andujar.
But if they want to win in the playoffs they need better starting pitching.

I don't trust Porcello at all when he takes the mound. Too much of a nibbler.
