This feels incredibly stupid By whom? The way I see it, Mets are going all in. If they can, they'll hopefully already be discussing an extension with Lindor. Rotation looks great too: DeGrom, Syndergaard, Carrasco, Stroman, Matz? Offense continues to grow. I don't think the Tribe got as much as I thought they would to be honest, some prospects and Rosario/Gimenez probably won't be that impactful. Cleveland. It just feels like they’re penny pinching.

DJ LeMahieu re-signs with Yankees. 6 years, $90 million. That's a pretty team friendly deal. To get DJ for $15 million a year is a bargain, in my view. If you look at what other players are making....he's a $25 million a year player, in my opinion. The qualifying offer was for $18.8, so he got less than the mean value of the top 125 highest paid players.
I thought the deal would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 years for $92 or 5 years for $100 million...some "experts" even had it as high as $125 million total.....spreading only $90 million over 6 years gives the Yankees tremendous financial flexibility to add other pieces.
Glad to have DJ back, and now the Yanks can hopefully move on to addressing pitching. I'd love to see Tanaka back, maybe even take a chance on Kluber.

I was shocked when I saw the numbers. The early reports were that he was looking for something in the range of 5/110 and the Yankees were starting out around 4/85, or something like that. They were 25 million apart for the total. An extra year and less than money than what we were told he was looking for is kinda wild. An insane bargain if he continues to play at a high level in the coming years.

Definitely a great value deal, and he gets term until he's 38/39. It's win-win. Braves offered him a deal, Jays too, but this had the term and overall value. The Yankees will be good for a while, it's a good move.

No clue what to expect from him, but now we’re bringing in Corey Kluber.

Low risk, high reward for the yankos. Other teams can't really afford to offer that money for a guy who only pitched 1 inning last year.

They just did for Darvish You keep saying that but not yet. They still have their all their top 10 internal prospects. Farm is intact still. This was a true salary dump for the Cubs. They gutted their farm for...Joe Musgrove.

Blue Jays sign George springer 6 years/$150 million 😳 Finally Toronto follows through on a player! Linked to everybody, signed nobody. This is a good deal for Toronto. The Jays always have to overpay to convince people to come north of the border, it's the sad truth. The young talent will only take you so far, it's time to pair it with an established player. Springer is a good defender, good hitter, and will instantly, massively upgrade the atrocious outfield defense I watched last year. It's a lot and probably had to outbid the Mets, but the Jays rarely make moves like this so fans gotta take some good out of it.

Its mostly because of the inconvenience of having to constantly travel back and forth between 2 countries and they are taxed by both. The players have almost nothing else negative to say about the franchise or the city itself.

Stupid Brantley, resigning in stupid Houston instead of Toronto! Good to see things are moving in free agency though.

On NESN the other morning they had a Globe writer saying they probably can’t afford JBJ. I’m pretty sure the fan base was told trading Mookie was going to open possibilities for years, lol.

The Mookie trade felt like Babe Ruth 2.0 You do everything you can to keep a guy like Betts. I’m having a hard time supporting this team tbh.
