SELL THE TEAM HAL

I’m legit flabbergasted that a bunch of sociopaths making the money they do can’t figure out that this is a horrible excuse.

Especially because they're basically throwing Cole under the bus by implying he'd throw a big sad if they improved the team by paying another pitcher more money than him.

The entire organization is completely incompetent and up their own asses. They legitimately think they are doing a great job with everything and are just unlucky with injuries or something like that.

It's not implying that at all really. it's basically just "we are THE YANKEES and you should be so grateful that we are interested in you and this is what we think you're worth and if you don't take it you aren't a TRUE YANKEE"

They’re legit five years behind the organizations they believe they compete with. “Act like you’ve been there before.” gently caress you, act like no one knows who you are because clearly Ohtani and Yamamoto don’t.

You saw Cashman's press conference at the winter meetings. He legit thinks he's doing a great job and can't believe he's getting criticized.

The Yankees’ farm system is also pretty rough now between trades and graduations

They are probably going to have to sign more FAs going forward

I'm curious what you mean by "fumbled" in this instance, because from my vantage point the Yankees offered the best contract (a massive overpay at that) and was never given even a chance to try and negotiate an even higher offer by Yamamoto's camp because it was painfully clear that his plan was always to extract as much as he could from the Dodgers specifically as opposed to actually trying to negotiate the best contract for himself.

Like, what else were the Yankees supposed to do other than overpay him even harder initially?

Lmao simultaneously an overpay, but also not trying to do the best possible for himself, gotcha. Also, Yankess offered less money so..

Oh please. Look at their roster. Buehler, Ohtani, Yamamoto, Betts, Freeman, probably Kershaw, Smith, Outman, Lux

They'd have to suffer nine misfortunes to miss the playoffs. Three misfortunes, that's possible. Seven misfortunes there's an outside chance. But nine misfortunes? I'd like to see that

Maybe if you ask real nice you can get them to contract the postseason and get a shot at this

Might just backfire though and send the Dodgers straight to the WS every year.

At 5-foot-8, Matsui is far from an imposing presence on the mound, but his fastball sits at 92 mph, runs up to 95 mph and has strong carry from a low arm slot. He also throws a split-fingered fastball and an occasional slider, according to evaluators.

I haven't heard anything *specific*, but it wouldn't surprise me; the Dodgers have historically been *really* careful with pitchers coming off significant injuries.

If they feel like he's got limited bullets coming off of his second TJS, makes sense they'd try to save some for October

Considering how close he supposedly was to making it back this September though, I'd hope he isn't super limited in 2024. They'll probably do the same thing they always do which is give everyone extra rest all the time anyway.
