Sounds like a Boris leak to drive up the price. Why would the Yankees admit to that?

Hey a drunk womanizer with shit knees, live hard die harder. The bad knees part seems like a prototypical Yankee even today.

No reason to not be able to sign Bellinger now with Stroman's money off the books!

Lots of great Japanese pitchers on the market though the Cubs track record with Asians has been terrible

Great news.

16-16 for the Cubs with a high 3s era and going to be 33 early in the season but he turns down 21 million

Is there some kind of crazy spending expected this off season because owners hit a windfall?

Cubs should trade for Eloy. He can DH and play 40-50 games in LF. That would give them the pop they need in the middle of the lineup.

I'm sure the Cubs have some former KC farmhand that Getz would love to have in return.

Be a bad look if they didn't spend the Heyward, Stroman, Bellinger money just narrowly missing postseason the previous year

Dude Eloy in left field running into literal Brick walls doesn't sound good.
