Actually it was Boras going for every last cent and getting A Rod on the Rangers where he was miserable to get him to the Yankees.

Not a reliable or good player anymore. The Yankees are likely 1 IF short.

Maybe he keeps that up, but also allows 6 home runs per 9 IP. Cubsposting about the two true outcome pitcher would be the highlight of the season.

Yeah I was mostly holding out hope for him keeping Tucker and Bregman and propping the window open which is all I care about from an owner but thats clearly off the table now

Its more of a last straw thing
