Jordan Montgomery owns and should be a starter, although he'd be useful in a long relief role as well

Pretty pathetic that 40% of the pre-trades projected rotation will be starting for playoff teams, the NL Central is in shambles, and they’re not even going to try to field a competent team

Is there a reason why the Yankees weren't interested in bringing Tanaka back?

If the Cubs trade Hendricks I will try my best to never watch another game. Unless it’s against the White Sox where I can hope they get blown out Abreu 2020 style. gently caress TLR until the end of time. I was hit by a drunk driver a few years ago and because of it I will need neck and lower back surgery at some point. I will never be able to play volleyball again for which I was a semi pro player... I nearly cried when they hired him...

GalacticAcid posted:Canaan Smith is interesting. I do like the emphasis Cherington is putting on athleticism. Smith-Njigba (seems like he prefers the hyphenated name in coverage?) was also one of the two guys (the other being Chris Gittens) who really called the Yankees out on their poor handling of BLM stuff this past summer. FlamingLiberal posted:Is there a reason why the Yankees weren't interested in bringing Tanaka back? He's lost his splitter (probably at least partially attributable to changes to the ball) and while his slider stepped up to fill the gap, his bad outings became really bad. I still want him back but I can see why the Yankees would be ready to move on. Seems like for Tanaka it's Yankees or NPB at this point, though.

Tanaka was a full time starter in Japan at 18 years old and there's a lot of mileage on his arm. He totally deserves a long term deal but I understand why teams aren't lining up to give him one.

Tanaka's 32 and he's just gotten out of a 7-year deal so I don't think it's a matter of him not getting his FA cashout here. I think there are plenty of legitimate reasons why nobody would want to give him 3+ years at this point. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Jan 24, 2021 |

Yeah, he's only 32 so he doesn't sound old but he definitely feels like an older SP who you expect to start falling apart if he hasn't already. I still think the Yanks should give him the 1 year deal and pay the luxury tax. But within the lines of the "budget" idea I get it.

It's hard to argue that Tanaka is worth 15 million. His stuff clearly isn't the same.

Honestly I’d take Tanaka on the Red Sox but my team is also trotting out Martin Perez for a second consecutive year so I think my perspective is skewed God dammit I really like(d) Jameson taillon

That Tanaka can pitch in the majors with a torn elbow and mostly secondary pitches is quite impressive.

I think Tanaka's had a very under appreciated MLB career and I'll fight any Yankee fan who questions his tenure in pinstripes. And like I said, I'd be very happy taking a flyer that he can continue to make it work. But I don't run the Yankees.
