Because this off season they have 70-83m coming off their yearly salary.

25m Sabathia

23m Teixeira

15m Beltran

11m Chapman

4m Nova

78m SubTotal FA

-5m buyout of Sabathia

73m Total FA

Plus possible non tenders

5.6m Eovaldi

4.3m Pineda

10m (rounded) total possible non tender

83m freed up this off season.

The Yankees will reload.

Yep. They're gonna save for 2018 though.

I thought you were suggesting the O's trade for Miller.

Exactly. For the 2019 season. There're slim pickings this offseason.

Nothing in next years FA to reload with. They will wait to blow it all on 2018. Sign Manny, Harper, Jake, Kershaw, etc.

Take advantage of the Yankees anytime! When they're down, Monday, Tuesday, April, July, anytime is just fine with me. No time is better than the present though.

When a team like the Yankees have money to spend, free agency is not the only way to acquire players.

I don't see how they can salary dump themselves into the playoffs next season.

I do hope they try.

Now watch us get swept.

[ORIOLE33]

Some of you still overrate that team. As far as I've seen over the past few years, they're just another team. This isn't those Yankees that used to beat the crap out of us on a yearly bases anymore. They have a VERY average offense and overrated starting pitching.

[El Gordo]

Best players next year Cespedes if he opts, Rasmus, Encarnacion, Bautista, Holliday, Reddick. No SP of interest IMO.

I really hope Bautista doesn't get disrespected in FA.

That's certainly possible, of course. But no more likely than getting swept by, say, Oakland. The point is that we don't need to treat them as a boogeyman anymore.

[CaptainRedbeard]

They're definitely not non-tendering Pineda and Eovaldi at those prices but I agree they'll be ready to spend a boatload of money.

They'll also be able to simultaneously do that while getting under the luxury tax threshold and reset their rate.

Luckily this free agent class this offseason looks very weak. Pretty much only Bautista and Strasburg at the top end.

They probably go hard after Strasburg.

I see them leaving Bautista alone considering how poorly all these recent contracts they have been paying out to aging vets have worked out.
