Andrew Miller to sign today (Yankees 4/$36M)

[LookitsPuck]

And we all keep hoping the Yankees contracts catch up to them. Meanwhile they've had 22 straight winning seasons.

85 wins in 2013. 84 wins in 2014.

Yes, it doesn't kill them like it would a team that doesn't spend $200 million a year. But they are the New York Geriatrics. Their farm system sucks. And they have a lot of contracts on the books for players over 30.

Where can I sign up for 84-78 every year?

Preferably as a fan for a team other than the Orioles.

Unlike the Braves fans and unlike they were about their new shortstop, I am certain the Yankees fans are happy with this.

Sure, it is a solid move for a team with their budget.

They get:

1- a very solid relief pitcher

2- the ability to keep Betances' arbitration compensation low by not employing him as the closer

3- a pick when Robertson signs elsewhere

A 12 year old could have made this move.

I'd rather go 52-110 than 84-78. If you're going to miss the playoffs, why not be the worst team in the league and get the #1 overall pick?

Actually, a lot of reports are saying the Yankees want to keep Robertson and have a 7-8-9 or Betances-Miller-Robertson.

Well I just came off a 14 year losing session. Sorry that 22 straight years of winning sounds mighty good.

Well at least our owner's son cries on twitter and posts links to articles about having a salary cap. Save that for the shareholders and not the fans.

As I already stated I would be fine with that.

To some, just finishing at or a little above .500 is good enough, as long as the budget is low and they get "value" at every position.

I like watching the Orioles in the playoffs.

Pushing an agenda much?

Ok. Didn't read whole thread. Since it's no longer Orioles related.

Not surprisingly, you have it backwards.
