Jesus Christ have these people ever been to San Diego? $340 million to live in a perfect climate for eleven years and you get Octobers off?

Good summary of some quasi interesting rule 5-eligible players. It’s Pirates-focused but I think has relevance to other teams.

Who Might the Pirates Select in the Rule 5 Draft?

Surprised there weren't any Yankees on this list as they've had the most players lost in Rule 5, including two great players in the last draft in Whitlock and Stephan.

That could be a consequence of the post’s Pirates focus since the author assumed the Bucs wouldn’t have much interest in middle infield types.

(Pure conjecture on my part though I really know nothing about the Yankees system.)

Andrew Heaney, who tossed a nice 75 innings this past season, has a few three-year offers and is looking for a fourth. He’d like to go back to the Dodgers if he can, but they appear to be behind in the bidding.

I am skeptical that Andrew Heaney is suddenly a good pitcher after 8 years of sucking

I've been watching baseball/the Yankees for around 30ish years where I actually understood was going on. Andrew Heaney is the worst Yankee pitcher I've ever seen.

Could be a money league where you pay out weekly for wins/losses though that tweet implies that it was a pure fee, not part of a pool of winnings/losses.

The Yankees are better of with him leaving at this point. They aren't going to do what is necessary to keep him plus improve the rest of the team enough. Time to tear it down.

He makes part of the capital class mad by taking capital from them and keeping some while giving a little less to someone else.
