Yankos trade their garbage for Jameson Taillon. They now have a championship rotation of Cole Kluber Taillon Montgomery German Severino That's six quality starters, no need for an opener. I wonder how German and Severino will bounce back but definitely high ceilings for them. Other things happening slowly... Hand to the Nationals JT Realmuto resigns with the Phillies, still won't win in my opinion but why not. Ottavino to the Red Sox

No new Hall of Fame inductees for 2021. Curt Schilling and Todd Helton shouldve gotten in

Meh don’t care. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should’ve got in. Yeah, I'm starting to think these guys should be in. Put an asterisk next to their name so people know their names are tainted. It's hard to dispute their statistics, and the MLB did nothing to enforce rules or punish these guys. Testing did not come out until 2004. Bud Selig is in the HoF and was GM from 1992-2015 during the height of the steroid era. What makes his entry more legitimate? Schilling should get in too, there's lots of PoS's and characters in the HoF. He was undoubtedly one of the best pitchers ever. Finally, the Jays signed Semien to a 1/18 mil deal. Low risk, high reward. I like it a lot. Jays offence and defence shaping up. The real challenge for the Jays this year will be getting the young core to take a step forward, Vladdy especially.

Masahiro Tanaka is going back to Japan. Good move. The Yankees are going to regret being cheap. Tanaka, while not an "ace", was a very consistent pitcher for us for 7 years. He was battle tested and had great success in the Postseason. What the Yankees have done is place all of their hopes and dreams on pitchers who haven't pitched in two years. Luis Severino missed almost all of 2019 and did miss all of 2020. Will not be ready when the season starts. Jameson Taillon only threw 37.1 innings in 2019, and missed all of 2020. Corey Kluber only threw 35.2 innings in 2019, and 1 inning in 2020. Domingo German did not pitch in 2020 due to suspension. We know what happens when you over extend pitchers who have not pitched a ton of innings recently. They get hurt, or they hit that "dead arm" period where they need rest because their bodies are not used to the workload. I do not think that you can expect the above listed pitchers to stay healthy and be able to give you 32 starts and 200+ innings PLUS be able to pitch deep into October. It's not realistic. The Yankees are wasting Gerrit Cole's prime years. If they are not going to fill out the rotation beneath him, it defeats the purpose of even having him. And Cashman already has his excuse lined up for when he fails to get a starter at the deadline because he uses it every year. He's going to say that he explored every option, but teams don't want to make fair trades with the Yankees. Teams make reasonable trades with other teams, but expect more from the Yankees because they are the Yankees and he won't make bad deals with a "Yankee penalty". The Yankees are going to regret letting Tanaka go back to Japan over a few million dollars. The starting pitching will fail them in October like it does ever year, except for Gerrit Cole.

COVID-19 had to be a consideration as well. His new contract was for 2 years/$17 million. Sure, he couldve gotten a few million dollars more, but if you factor in New York's taxes, there's really not much of a difference in salary.

You can never have too much pitching. It’s going to be quite the experiment for us, that’s for sure. Severino won’t be ready till like July right? So at least there’s no overworking him on 200+ innings and whatnot by October.
But at least Adam Ottavino is in Boston now, so we can beat up on him several times this season. That’s some good news lol.

Peculiar signing, but great value. 7 mil is nothing really for baseball. Unsure what direction the Cubs are heading in though.
