Lol the owners are begging for a labor strike its amazing. $9M AAV for Ottavino?

No wonder nobody is signing they know this market will **** them out of their biggest major payday.

It’s amazing eventually there will be a strike and salaries will finally inflate and these guys particularly Harper will look like such bargains

I'm actually not upset by the Ottavino contract.  He has exactly one good season under his belt; is entering his age 33 season; wasn't rosterable as recently as 2017; and had TJS a few years ago.  He absolutely was fantastic in 2018, no question.  But with all that above and the caveat that relievers are notoriously fickle by nature, is that a guy you give $15 million a year to for multiple years?  I think 3/$30 is a fair deal for him and 3/$27 isn't all that far off.

Exactly. Guys throws 1 inning every other game. 9 million sounds right

I already said Machado and Harper should insist on opt out years the year of the new CBA agreement.

Congrats ya’ll did it.  Analytics have taken over.  #adaptordie

Longo nailed it. Fans are too obsessed with owner’s making money out of some vague concern for efficiency (and/or some reflexive urge to defend billionaire profits bc capitalism).

I want a veteran on the Yanks to call out ownership but I doubt that’ll happen.
