I have nothing to go on other than my gut instincts to predict that this will be a disaster for the Yankees.  Stroman has been good for a long time, his statcast metrics don't look that impressive other than his ground ball rate and the amount of barrels he gives up.  

He's about to be 33, he's headed to New York, he's got a bit of an attitude problem and I can see this quickly going south.

I hope so, anyway.  Would love to see the Yankees waste more money.

It's a two year deal at a rate the O's could afford.  Not sure how it could make it to disaster level unless the fans literally riot.

I could've done some mental gymnastics to be happy if the Orioles added Stroman. But there are personality issues and concerns about him. That said, he's been a good pitcher in his career when healthy, including in the AL East. He's a good pitcher and purely as a player is a good addition to the Yankees' rotation. That said, he's also the type of player/personality that either thrives with the Yankees or he's the kind that struggles for a stretch and gets buried. We will see.

I'm surprised he got less than what was projected. MLBTrade Rumors had him pegged at 2 years, $44 million. While some were even saying 3 years, $60 million.

The starting pitcher market has been a bit strange. It seems like the consensus is that there is more demand than supply (which seems true). And that guys are getting more than we expected from teams. But there have been a lot of decent pitchers who have gotten less than they were projected to make. 

Sonny Gray, Shoto Imanaga, Marcus Stroman, Eduardo Rodriguez, Lucas Giolito, Kenta Maeda have all signed for less than MLBTradeRumors thought they would.

He's got a vesting option (140 innings in 2025) that takes it to 3/55.

      AL playoff picture

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.

      Let's go Tampa! Actually, I'm fired up for the offseason.
