Agreed, but if the Dodgers were involved, I have no trouble believing they offered more years AND higher AAV.

Do Yankees do better than others in securing endorsement dollars? Will Hiroki see a bump in his income from that?

He left money on the table, but he still held out for more than jut a $3.3 mil raise

Oh, absolutely agree. However, I bet a two year deal from another team wouldve been closer to 25/26mil, meaning a little less AAV but still substantial money. I can see Hiroki’s familiarity with the Yankees and success being a bit of a plus

Yet if he winds up with a tired arm next year, people will blame the innings….

Probably. I think people are jumping to conclusions a little to fit a narrative, though. Could be totally true, but leaving money on the table in terms of total $ is not necessarily actually leaving anything on the table.
