The Evil Empire Strikes Again

How about those Yankees ! It's going to be like having Maris and Mantle from '61 again. Back to the future !

Re: The Evil Empire Strikes Again

An early Christmas present for you Jose!

Re: The Evil Empire Strikes Again

Well the log jam is finally over. First Ohtani & now Stanton find new homes. Now maybe the FA market will really get rolling.

PS: So much for NYY talk about being under Luxury Tax.

Re: The Evil Empire Strikes Again

Thought the Empire was saving room for Harper. His LH bat would have played huge in NYY.
Now maybe he really does end up with his buddy in CHC.

Re: The Evil Empire Strikes Again

We won't mind having Stanton, Harper and Judge back-to-back-back for 2019 😜

Re: The Evil Empire Strikes Again

NYY gets $30 if Stanton opts out after 3 years. Wonder how that works as far as the luxury tax. Does it adjust his cost in 1st 3 years or does it give them a minus $30M in year 4?

Re: The Evil Empire Strikes Again

The $27 million that the Yanks paid Alex Rodriguez for doing studio analysis is coming off the books this year. Also, Sabathia ($20 million), Castro ($9 million), Holliday $13 (million), Todd Frazier ($5 million), Jaime Garcia ($5 million) and Pineda ($7.5 million) no longer on the payroll. The Yanks can still get under the luxury tax threshold.
