Damn you Warthen!

Let’s sign a LOOGY to a multi-year contract and blame the guys across town if it backfires on us.

It’s still funny to me that Cashman blamed the Mets. No one had a gun to his head when he signed the guy, and the Yankees found no issues with his medical exam when they conducted a physical. A team can use a pitcher in 162 games. That’s their problem. It’s your problem when you sign damaged goods the next year to a 2 year contract.

Let me guess….a Met fan? Are you still paying Bobby Bonilla?
~{Poppa_Bear137}~
can you say: BRIT BURNS? look up that name on the mlb website, the yankees don’t ever want to remember that name.
Blue387
I don’t think he will ever pitch in the majors again.
fxx3605
well that was a fail. o well decline and its done with
thevauntedchris
It’s done with in 2 years, not next year…Cashman usually smarter than this lately.
Tom
Lol, at least they can afford it. So glad he declined arbitration. soooo freaking glad.

Lucky yanks can absorb that type of blow and just keep trucking. Under normal circumstances this injury would severely strain a teams’finances.

Under normal circumstances pretty much every team in the major leagues has blown $4M somewhere on their roster and not constrained their finances.
NYPOTENCE
True, however, it is straining other teams finances when they do have a limit on how much they can spend. Let’s say Team A has 15 million coming off the books, they sign the reliever for 2yrs/8m. They now have 11m left and they still have to fill up the roster spot. This is annoying but insignificant for the Yankee payroll
East Coast Bias
I get your point, but it isn’t a good one.
Let’s say they have 35m to spend, and now they have 31m… not a big deal. Get over it.
NYPOTENCE
Just saying you could use all the money you can get.
Just_Da_damaja
u must be used to listening to met fans complain about Kelvin Escobar’s 1 million dollar salary…
Chauncey Scott
Why don’t they send him to Colon’s doctor?
Todd J Thomas
That’s what you get for signing with the Evil Empire.
East Coast Bias
Should have just kept Ace.

As a die hard Mets fan, I’m sorry this has happened to Pedro. He did great for us while he was with us and I wish HIM only the best. But the Junkees can suck it!

The Yankees will be playing baseball in October. The Mets will be making tee times.

I think the Mets overusing him is a weak argument on Cashman’s part. Has musculature changed that much in the last 40 years that pitchers can’t go 200+ innings every year and not be gimped up at the end of their career? Successful starters in the 70’s did it all the time. Now, a pitcher has poor mechanics and injures his cuff, that seems like a more likely argument.
mike h
I agree. Its usually not overwork. Im a Cubs fan and I watched as Kerry Wood and Mark Prior struggled with injuries and everybody liked to blame Dusty Baker for overworking them. But if you could look at their mechanics you can see they were not especially good, especially Priors which almost certainly is what ruined his career. Even Tom Seaver questioned Priors mechanics.
