LOLOL.....just got a CRAZY thought!

The Yankees are opening a new stadium, and missed the playoffs for the first time in um-teen years....they just spent a bundle on pitching, essentially going all out and bidding against themselves for one of them, showing no restraint and no fiscal responsibility.

So, is it really beyond them to go after BOTH Tex and Manny? Getting both players would pretty much put them in the playoffs and give them a WS ring. Boras represents both of them, so whos to say he isnt trying to ship them both there!

Its a crazy thought, but honestly, I dont put ANYTHING past the Yankees.

Isn't there a limit to the number of type A free agents they can sign in one off season? For some reason the number 3 means something to me, but now I am not sure.

With the fear of being shunned by the baseball world, I believe they will refrain.

Shunned by everyone except for their fans LOL!

Its safe to say its a HUGE long shot to happen, but like I said, when it comes to the Yankees, nothing shocks me. Nothing.

It would be cool if it happened, and then the Rays beat up on them all year, and put them out of the playoffs, sweeping them.

I think Im getting delirious! Too much staying up and watching the boards and news!!!! This thing needs to end!

I know it's off topic, but for all of the "I hope we don't sign Looper" Crowd, MLBtraderumors reported that he is close to signing with the Brewers.

To seg-way back on topic any chance that negotiating for Tex will cost us our chance to get the rotation together, or is it commonly believed, that after Tex is done (regardless of where he signs) that the rest of the FA will sign quickly. (especially pitching, since ST is really less then 2 months away....wow time flies)

Found something.....this says that the number is actually based on the players that file for free agency/players in the free agent pool

If there are 14 or less such Players, no Club may sign more than one Type A or B Player. If there are from 15 to 38 such Players, no Club may sign more than two Type A or B Players. If there are from 39 to 62 such Players, no Club may sign more than three Type A or B Players. If there are more than 62 such Players, the Club quotas shall be increased accordingly. There shall be no restrictions on the number of unranked Players that a Club may sign to contracts.

They can't sign more than 3 Type A free agents this year.

Thats a good question. I have no clue! Anyone else know???

A blurb I found stating the rules of signing FA

"If there are 14 or fewer Type A or Type B free agents available, no team can sign more than one type A or B player. If there are between 15-38, no team can sign more than two. If there are between 39 and 62, there's a limit of three. However, teams can sign as many Type A or B free agents as they've lost, regardless of the limits above."

They can't sign more than 3 Type A free agents this year.

Actually because they will lose type A FA they can sign more then the 3 that was mentioned in previous posts.

So they are most likely trying to decide on Tex or Manny at this point. I guess. Even though the reports are saying they want Manny. I think Boras called them to see if they would bite, and thus driving the price for Tex up even more.

How many Type A/B free agents did the Yankees lose? Does this rule mean a team is allowed to sign as many as they lose (a team loses 4, they can sign 4) or they are allowed to sign the limit plus how many they lost (a team loses 2, limit is 3 that year, they can sign 5)? The rule doesn't include any specific examples to clear this up, but I interpreted it as the first one.

      Rubenstein: Orioles will speed up the effort to get to a World Series

      By Chavez Ravine · Posted

      Is he investing in AI that will tell us what random schmuck will get inexplicably hot at the right moment, how to manufacture seeing eye singles in leverage situations, and how to prevent twelve year old Yankee fans from stealing it from us?

      Other teams playoffs game thread

      By Chavez Ravine · Posted

      There is that, but I also think it’s the cumulative wear. All the pitchers hit the wall like two or three weeks ago (assuming their arm held together). The season got longer, the high leverage situations got more, and everyone is throwing like it’s the 7th game of the World Series back in April. The playoffs are now more like the Battle of the Somme than a showcase of excellence.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Why do writers say stuff like this? Him speaking some words should convince us he’s serious?  WTF? It proves nothing.    Rubenstein isn’t going to have endless patience and his vow to “speed up the effort” for a World Series should convince the fans that he’s serious about competing

      5 year payroll plan to see how much can be added.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I think some of your numbers are off…That said, the team obviously has a ton of money it can spend both now and long term.  This has always been the case with these guys and why having this cheap young talent allows you to spend big if you so choose.

      Great work. The thought of Gunnar becoming FA pains me! If we can spend Burnes money I would lean toward Snell but either one would be a nice get by the new owner.

      I am sure the O's are looking at the next 5 years of their payroll and competitiveness.   Can't spend as much as the big boys but must spend enough to win the WS.  Here's my take what Elias is looking at. Salary in millions. Projections for 2025 from Cots Contracts.                                      25            26           27           28       29 Gunnar SS                  .75              7            14            21       FA Westy  3B/LF              .75              .75            6            12        18 Cowser   LF               .75               .75            5            10        15 Kjerstad RF               .74               .75          .75            5         10 Holliday 2B/SS          .74               .75          .75            5         10 Mayo  1B                  .35               .75          .75            .75       5 Adley    C/DH              6                12           18            FA Basallo   C/1B/DH      -                .74          .75           .75         5 Mullins    CF              8                 FA Bradfield.

I think the offense needs a change in strategy to get RISP to score.   That is probably the most important addition that can be made for next season's offense.
