How are they over 25 million apart? Why is Cash lowballing the one of the best hitters in the game. Stupid. Im gonna be pissed if he signs somewhere else. Yeah, it is pretty stupid to gave DJL a lowball offer. It isn't like he played 2 years on a discounted deal or anything while betting on himself. Oh wait, he did! DJL is more than worth it and some. I find this hilarious coming from a GM and franchise that traded for Stanton and gave Alex Rodriguez that ridiculous contract. Stick Michael is laughing in his grave at the Boy Blunder (Cashman).

I may be in the minority but Iv always prefer a guy that can hit for average over big bats. Give me the Gwynns, the Jeters, the Ichiros over the arods and the stantons. Of course you need the big bats but the last few years theyve fallen silent in the playoffs for us.
So yea, maybe he doesnt hit a lot of dingers....

Is there any proof that the Cleveland Indians name offends Native Americans? They already ditched the Chief Wahoo logo and image. The term "Indian" actaully refers to people from "India" and not Native Americans. Teh term "Redskins" I have been saying for years is much more offensive. I dont see the term "Indian" offensive at all. This is cancel culture at its finest. How long before someone is offended by the term "Yankee"? Ask them if know any of them. Like I said, it is really up to them to determine that. I am not one, so I am not going to make up their mind for them like you are doing. Your complaining and blaming the "left" is exactly why I don't claim either side. You all keep on blaming each other for everything. From the election result conspiracy theories to COVID safety measures to this. It is nauseating and annoying. Anyways, I am done with this topic. This is a Yankees thread, right? I think this kind of debate is better suited for another spot my friend. I do actually know "mixed" natives. They have told me that even the Redskins name didnt offend them. And Indian certainly doesnt. They think of it as a honor. And lets be real here, "Fighting Irish" is much a more racist name especially with that logo Notre Dame uses. I apologize SG. I have been putting MLB news in here to keep it moving in the offseason. We can talk about the name issue in another thread. You are right. Lets talk baseball.

So yea, maybe he doesnt hit a lot of dingers.... The crazy thing about Tony Gwynn is that he could have hit 30 a year if he wanted to. I've seen him hit home runs that were well over 400 ft from time to time. He absolutely owned Gregg Maddux too. He was such a great hitter. The Yankees' Achilles heel has been timely hitting for years and they are lowballing one of the best hitters in the league. If they are internally debating on whether to pay him or Judge, I am taking DJL all day long.

Stick Michael is laughing in his grave at the Boy Blunder (Cashman). from listening to the Michael Kay show, it sounded more like they are offering 4 years, 22M, he is looking for something like 5/23. Most of the difference in amount is the length of contract he's looking for, not the annual # so much.

I would give him that 5th year, mainly because he played 2 years on a significant discount when you consider his production. I don't know why the Yankees are turning an easy negotiation to rocket science.

Dicking around might just cost them their best hitter. I would not even give him a chance to enter the open market. I would have instantly given him an offer that he couldn't refuse.

So you would go 5 years $125M? Seems steep, I was for the 5 year $100m no problem. $25m a season is steep, but he is our best hitter. Just sucks because there are a few young guys coming up who could be dirt cheap at 2B. You do lose some bat, but the defense is great and the DJL is on the wrong side of 30 and we all know how that can go.

I think that he is a 25 million a year kind of player. I am also considering the past 2 years where he outperformed his contract by a wide margin. Even if his batting average dipped down to let's say .285 in the 5th year of the deal. He would still be worth it. The thing about DJ is that he can play 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base. We should be hiring players like this instead of trading for players like Stanton, giving Judge a blank check extension, waiting for Sanchez to hit over .200 again, or making Lindor a 300 million dollar player.

Thats great for the Yankees, but thats why they signed him to it. Kudos for Cashman. Doesnt mean you need to overpay now. And you bring up Stanton, who is way overpaid, which makes it harder. Im just seeing the other side of it. Oh, and also, Covid lost them many millions last year so I doubt they spend much. And I dont think they resign Judge unfortunately. If it came down to DJL or Trevor Bauer, which way do you go? 1-2 of Cole and Bauer could be great. Move Torres back to 2nd where he is better defensively, and trade for Lindor? Again, I love DJL and want him here the rest of his career, but at some point you cant just empty the wallet again when it has burned us so many times.

If so, I am not so sure that they would pair up. You do bring up some excellent counterpoints about DJL. Your argument for not bringing him back makes a lot of sense. I don't think that 25 mil a year for DJL is overpayment. I feel that is FMV for a player of his caliber. We are on the same page for wanting him back. You're more than correct about thinking about other options moving forward.

Padres get: LHP Blake Snell Rays get: RHP Luis Patiño, RHP Cole Wilcox, C Blake Hunt, C Francisco Mejía
Rays lost 2 of their top 3 pitchers though... Glasnow and everyone else. If they can repeat 2020, they have magic in that front office.

Gardys replacement... The Yankees are nearing a trade for outfielder Greg Allen, according to a report from MLB Network insider Joel Sherman. Sherman also reported that the Yankees are sending left-hander James Reeves, a 27-year-old who was New York's 10th-round Draft pick in 2015, to San Diego in the deal. The Yankees have not confirmed the report. Allen, 27, was designated for assignment by the Padres last week in a move used to clear space for newly signed infielder Ha-Seong Kim. Allen arrived in San Diego from Cleveland last summer in the trade that also brought right-hander Mike Clevinger to the west coast, but Allen appeared in only one game for the Padres. Allen’s reputation is more for stellar defense in the outfield than his bat. The San Diego native has rated above average by Statcast’s Outs Above Average metric in each of the last four seasons while producing a career .239/.298/.343 slash line with eight homers at the plate. www.mlb.com/news/greg-allen-yankees-trade

Great.... MLB ‘scapegoat’ reveals ‘sticky’ Gerrit Cole text in explosive lawsuit “Hey Bubba, it’s Gerrit Cole, I was wondering if you could help me out with this sticky situation,” the pitcher, then with the Astros wrote on Jan. 17, 2019, adding a wink emoji, according to the reports. “We don’t see you until May, but we have some road games in April that are in cold weather places. The stuff I had last year seizes up when it gets cold.” nypost.com/2021/01/08/yankees-gerrit-cole-caught-up-in-a-lawsuit-sticky-situation/---- Honestly, the text sounds fishy and fake, but Cole's numbers did increase in Houston and they are cheaters.

Yankees sign pitcher Jhoulys Chacin to minor league contract The Yankees signed right-hander Jhoulys Chacin to a minor league contract Wednesday. The 33-year-old spent last season with the Braves, but made just two appearances in the majors. He last had success in 2018 in Milwaukee, when he went 15-8 with a 3.50 ERA in 35 starts. Chacin was the Opening Day starter for the Brewers in 2019, but struggled throughout the year and dealt with injuries before being designated for assignment later in the season. nypost.com/2021/01/07/yankees-sign-pitcher-jhoulys-chacin-to-minor-league-contract/
