I can't believe we, as sports fans, have accepted this reasoning. Un-freaking-believable. When the owner's right to make obscene profits becomes more important than the joy of sport then the league needs to burn. Americans need to stop worshiping the rich.

A negligible amount of luxury tax overages actually ends up in other owners’ pockets. That’s the lame excuse of peddled by Cashman at the behest of his overlords.

Because Betts doesn’t have free agent status as leverage. The only parties are Betts and the Res Sox.

Greed pretty much

Player benefits should not factor into the LT either.

They were starting Erik Kratz in the playoffs for godsakes. With Cain turning 33 and Yelich in his prime I love it.

Always a good thing...Great signing

‘‘Twas truly the dark age of Yankee fandom, making the playoffs 99% of the time with high payrolls. Never want to relive those days. If only we didn’t sign all those free agents we would be so much better!

None of those “long-term/value contracts” should actually impact the Yankees’ ability to spend money, especially 20 years later when gap between their revenue and payroll has skyrocketed. As sports fans, we should want our teams to use the resources we exclusively provide them. Remember that $1B in handouts the Steinbrenners extorted from NYS for their new stadium? Or does that inconvenience your Milton Friedman-esque shilling for the worthless heiress of the Steinbrenner fortune?

The sport is not healthy when there is little interest in two top 10 players smack in the middle of their prime for only the price of money. It’s an embarrassment.

Good thing owners are less reliant on attendance as a revenue stream than ever. There’s little incentive to not tank anymore. Maybe when half the league does it than there will be diminishing returns.

Or maybe the league isn’t fine when the Knicks suck and you’ve simply forgotten how much better it was when they were good? Lmao

I'd be cool resigning Vonleh. Also everyone on this team sucks.

Always shoot for the moon in the beginning of a negotiation. I have no problem with that asking price.

He will still not be seeing the GEICO caveman at the pancake social tomorrow.
