I don't agree with him, but I'll take Tanaka, Ellsbury, and McCann > Cano.

Wow what an apples and oranges comparison
Not really...If we gave him the amount of money he wanted....We wouldn't have been able to afford much else.

It's the fucking Yankees. They can have them all.
I'm confused, I though DP was talking about wishing he still had Cano instead of solarte.
In regards to money and affording anything else, you know that doesn't apply to the Yankees.

These clowns can't score runs on these bum ass Cubs? smfh
Not with the new rules. They don't want to deal with the luxury cap penalties anymore.

And in 2 years the yankees will be regretting it.
Cano is the best 2B in the MLB even with the half assed effort he gives. He's just so talented and has the best swing in baseball.I'm confused, I though DP was talking about wishing he still had Cano instead of solarte.

Also, the Yankees no longer have the biggest payroll in the MLB for a reason. The cap penalties are far greater than they once were.
They're over the luxury tax...
Yeah, but they are trying to get under. The Dodgers have the highest payroll this season. The Yankees have held that spot for the past 15 years, but they don't seem to want it anymore. Paying one player 240 million doesn't help when you want to get under the luxury cap. The Yanks can probably get under when Jeter/A-Rod leave.

The extra cash they will get from the Japanese tv/merch/ticket sales is the only reason they went over, they were under without him.
If the Yankees become cheap next offseason, they will be under the luxury cap next year.
That has nothing to do with paying one player 240 million.
Are you trying to say that they Yankees would have really brought in Cano along with Tanaka, Ellsbury, and McCann?
The only reason they were under is because A-Rod isn't getting his 25 million. I believe he only gets about 3 million this season. If he would just retire with Jeter...That would be great.
felix is a chill dude
It has everything to do with the salary cap. Speculation for months was that the Yanks wanted to stay under the cap no matter what this year, then they went and spent 400. They don't seem THAT concerned with the cap
But ultimately our debate doesn't mean much since we don't know what they're thinking up there *shrug*

Swinging strike?
They were trying to get under for this season but didn't obviously. The Yankees would have still signed everyone they did this off season minus Beltran if Cano had accepted their offer.
As for trying to get under the luxury tax, I don't see them trying again for at least a couple of seasons. When Tex, CC, and Alex come off the books I see them doing it.
It doesnt matter. The ump has been calling pitches that have not been strikes ... strikes. And then calling strikes balls.
He is equally shitty.
The at-bat by Miller was a good indicator. 4th pitch in the at-bat was way the fuck outside but called a strike. 5th pitch w as on the border inside and called a ball.
Did you complain about the 4th pitch being called a strike since it was a mile outside?

All these strikeouts, God damn it Jason.
Cliff Lee is basically the single worst match-up for Heyward.

dem titties were nice though.
a player that doesn't hustle doesn't put up the kinds of numbers Cano does. that's just more rethoric from frumpy old white men who don't like the new style of play.
what exactly would more effort entail?
