My initial response was “because that means signing a new LFer as well.”

Of course, then the question becomes “why is that a problem?” And, the more I thikn about it, the less of a problem it seems.

So yeah, good question.

While I think they’d love to have lackey I think are more prone to sign Chapman and a short deal pitcher like Harden or Sheets or Bedard. Combined they’d be cheaper than lackey plus they get to add a legit young kid with boundless potential.

Thats a pretty big gamble, hoping that Felix is a free agent and hoping that you can sign him. I don’t have a doubt that CC likes NY now, however, if he simply replicates last year the next two years, he will opt out only because it makes sense. Arod ended up benefiting financially from the whole ordeal, if CC gets another ring on his finger, he could own this place.

It’ll be hard for Cano to strike a balance between his fun loving and the effort it takes to blow out that many candles.
