Yankees can’t win no matter what… If they sign a free agent they are “buying championships” and if they don’t sign one everyone wants to bring it up everyday…

You mean if they overpay on a top tier free agent to a lengthy albatross contract so no one else can put up a competitive bid? Everyone is used to them doing that every year until Hal took over so when they sign absolutely no one its something to talk about. Lots of Yankee fans themselves were surprised how this offseason went..

There’s something I’m not understanding. How in the world was Tommy Hunter in line to get paid like a top-tier set up man? I like the guy and everything I’ve read says he’s a great teammate but the reported contract of 2 yrs and $11-12m would have slotted him in just behind Tony Sipp’s AAV and Tyler Clippard’s AAV. Isn’t that more than a slight overpay for Hunter?

Lot of hate for Tommy Hunter. Before this past year where he was pretty good (3.63 ERA) with the Orioles and really bad in 15 innings with the Cubs, he averaged like 70 innings and a 2.90 ERA over the previous two seasons in the AL East. The Yankees had ample opportunity to see how effective he was.
Just because there isn’t a stream of stories about a guy looking for whatever amount of money or weighing offers for whatever amount or his name isn’t on a list where he’s projected to get whatever amount, doesn’t mean he isn’t good and doesn’t deserve (insofar as baseball players deserve however much money) a strong contract.
Not sure what’s up with all his medical stuff and yeah, I figured him as closer to 3/12 than 2/12, but it would’ve been a fine amount for him if he’d been healthy. Mark Lowe got 2/11, John Axford got 2/10, etc.

hanley ramirez will make errors on easy plays, look awkward with his footwork, stand in the same spot on every play, feel uncomfortable, get a complex about his fielding and start missing games with mystery injuries and illnesses. hoo boy.
