How can the Yankees communicate improperly with their own player?

If Hal calls up Cohen and says “hey you’re not gonna gently caress me over on Judge right? Like just lay off we don’t need to get into a bidding war here” that would be collusion.

On, not to. The teams can't strategize together on how to sign (or not sign) a FA.

What's the penalty for something like that? Just a fine probably, right?

Maybe a midround draft pick or two

e: clicking through, looks like Crane could also be in trouble for saying Verlander wants a Scherzer deal

Also Ryu is dead and not pitching next year.

So little faith. What are you a leafs fan?

But seriously they are totally going to sign Verlander. They are going for it. All in.

Poor Ryu :(

I think they're much more likely to sign Rodon than they are Verlander. They have 40 millionish to spend, they aren't going to blow all that on one player. If they were it'd be an infielder and then they sign like Syndergaard.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm

What the Jays are actually going to do is sign a left handed OFer, hopefully Nimmo and then sign someone like Stripling or Syndergaard to be the 4th starter. They'll try and fix Kikuchi again (which won't work) and some combo of Kikuchi/Tiedmann/Zulueta/Thornton will be the 5th guy. They'll sign a reliever as well and then trade a catcher to fill whatever other hole they think exists.

That probably costs them most of the 40 million they have, and I don't think that anything beyond an OFer will be for more than a year or two if they can help it cause they have to pay Vlad and Bo and the money they get from Ryu and Kikuchi loving off forever only pays 1 of them (though I guess the Springer deal mostly pays the other, but you have to replace him and maybe Chapman etc).

Ya this is probably what they are going to do. It seems very Atkins-y.

But Verlander..... he's just there waiting to sign and he's cool and good.

Aug 16, 2012

The only way I could see them spending short term on a cool starter like Verlander or DeGrom is if they trade some money+prospects for like Bryan Reynolds + a reliever. Then Chapman walks next offseason and you gotta figure out 3B again (hope Barger or Orelvis maybe???)

I mean if he can hold them to a .551 OPS again I think he'd probably be OK with that

he can keep us to a .001 ops for all I care as long as we get a 2-1 record against him, including in the most important regular season series of the year

Re pitching awards literally the only stats I would take into account are innings pitched, ERA, and maybe strikeouts on the margin. xERA etc don’t tell you who had the best season.
