If the team has no out let for their games...the fans will move on! <br />I don't think he would do that but he might tell Hal he will not pay the Yankee team if they are not a good product and cut his payments for the rights to play the Yank games.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-10928141463549517082016-07-01T17:02:06.841-04:002016-07-01T17:02:06.841-04:00Right on Daryl.

The only way he spends as I have said in the past is if Murdoch lays the hammer on him about lost revenue on the TV deal, otherwise the Coupon Clipper laughs all the way to the bankKen Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-4320418311477865972016-07-01T10:51:26.502-04:002016-07-01T10:51:26.502-04:00Yes, the Yankees want to get under the Luxury Tax ...Yes, the Yankees want to get under the Luxury Tax threshold, but only for one season. Doing that resets the amount they have to pay towards the Luxury Tax. <br /><br />Currently, the Yankees pay 50% of the amount over the threshold ($189 million), due to having gone over in 4+ consecutive years. Last year the team had to give the league about $26 million. By getting under the threshold for one year (and that threshold will be going up), that percentage drops to 17.5, which means the Yankees would save a quite a chunk of money.<br /><br />With Tex and Beltran's contracts gone after this season (totaling about $36 million a year), and Alex and CC's contracts gone after 2017 (totaling about $50 million a year... remember, the Luxury Tax uses average annual value of a contract), the team should absolutely be able to get under the threshold for the 2018 season.<br /><br />And since Machado and Harper don't hit free agency until 2019, the plan gets a little clearer.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-78393839443187201922016-07-01T10:34:17.152-04:002016-07-01T10:34:17.152-04:00yea, a right handed bat and a right handed relief ...yea, a right handed bat and a right handed relief pitcher will make us champions... absolutely not bro<br /><br />nobody goes from bottom run production to champions with a single right handed bat. and you're considering scrapping the mediocre farm system.Daryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/12405687520642126665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-86436758220276057802016-07-01T10:31:16.227-04:002016-07-01T10:31:16.227-04:00It just doesn't make sense.

If the goal that these jerkoffs constantly keep preaching is to get below the salary cap, and with the contracts of teix and beltran coming off the books, we will be left with just teix' 20+ mil... who the hell are we getting with that? Edwin encarnacion? He might be the only one capable of replacing beltran's offensive production... and he's not taking a 2 year contract.<br /><br />beyond that, we will be down a starting pitcher, and let's say Mitchell replaces nova... we are still looking at a rotation with Tanaka, Eovaldi, Pineda, Sabathia, Mitchell??? with zero middle relief. Even if we trade prospects to upgrade pitching staff, we will still be sub-par for those years that we insisted in signing chapman, and further depleting our #17 ranked farm system, and probably drop our farm system to what... #24? <br /><br />And sure, everyone can get diarrhea of the mouth about signing machado and harper, but for the goal of getting below the salary, the numbers don't add up.

I look ...Exactly correct. Yankees will be buyers. <br /><br />I look forward then to add offense. At least a right hand power bat. (Braun, Meyers, Kemp, Gourriell,etc.)<br />Another right hand relief option.<br />Always on the hunt for starting pitching.<br /><br />Not that far from being a very good team.
