Domingo German suspended 81 games (63 games in 2020, what he served at the end of 2019 counts toward the total suspension. I would think this pretty much guarantees that the Yankees keep JA Happ now. Can't really afford to just trade him away to save $17 million and then what happens if in Spring Training Montgomery needs more time to round back into form and what happens if Garcia doesn't look good....who's the 5th starter? Loaisiga has looked better as a reliever, and I think Chad Green is more valuable as a mid-to-late inning fire extinguisher than being wasted as merely an opener every 5 days. If I was the Yankees, I'm keeping JA Happ because he's a proven starter. His 2019 didn't go as well as we wanted, but he finished with a strong September and he's a veteran pitcher who can give us a solid #5. If he pitches poorly to start the season, the Yankees could always get rid of him, but by the time it will take to make that decision, Montgomery might be ready or German might be back, so it just gives us more depth and another option. I hope we keep Happ. I'm sure they will keep Happ around unless he absolutely sucks. Nobody is taking that contract and I'd rather not see them waste the money. I'm just glad we are done with the stupid "bullpen your way to a title" mentality. No more openers and mid level starters splitting games. Just give me a guy who can go 5-6 innings (+) every 5 days and be done with it. You need to build a rest day or change the rotation order down the line and use a bullpen day? fine...but this team should have enough STARTERS to get them through a season.

Mookie and JBJ avoid arbitration, and will be sticking around at least for this upcoming year. Good. Now if we can just NOT cheat...

ASTROS JUST FIRED THEM BOTH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA So when they wrap up the Red Sox investigation and probably suspend Cora for AT LEAST a season....one would think the Red Sox would have to fire him too, right? This is amazing.

Real question now is, how is this going to affect the Yankees if Cole knew anything.

Some MLB insiders believe Alex Cora could receive a lifetime ban from baseball. Whereas Hinch, the GM, and players facilitated, utilized, and allowed the sign stealing to continue; Cora was the mastermind behind the creation of the plan. It was his idea from day 1 of its inception.

So is Nelly Cruz, but that mf can still hit dingers like a young man in his prime. As far as this sign stealing scandal goes, I say MLB should vacate the 2017 World Series championship. Completely erase it from the record. Its a tainted championship and should the Red Sox be found just as guilty with the 2018 World Series, strip them of their title too. Im all for stealing signs, but do it with a man on second base, the old fashioned way, not with a camera in centerfield

If you count that as cheating, then there hasn't been a clean world series winner since the early 90s

And now it has a stench to it. You can dig in your heels all you want when it comes to defending the less than stellar methods through which your teams acquire championship wins, but it still sucks to have any sort of question floating around them.
