He will. He usually does good on NL teams that have no chance of winning it all. Even then, he's a 15-10 pitcher.

Outside of NYY, Vasquez has put up solid numbers, K, innings pitched. He just don't love New York.

If Omar Minaya was still Mets GM, I'm 99% certain that he would've signed Vazquez now when the Yankees didn't re-sign him.

Thankfully, he's not. So thankfully, he didn't.

The only thing at stake in this Jeter contract dispute is Jeter's legacy. If Jeter stays a Yankee then he gets grouped with DiMaggio and Mantle. If he leaves, his legacy is destroyed. Dunno how he has any leverage here.

Rockies re-up Jorge De La Rosa for reportedly 3 years, $32 million. Thought he was going to be that guy who got the ridiculously overpriced contract this offseason, but I guess being a Type A free agent hurt his interest with other clubs.

Buster Olney said the Mets were close to signing Young but then a bunch of other reporters refuted it and said nothing was close to being done. Typical offseason "he said, she said" bullshit.

That being said, I'd love to have Young. The pitching market is relatively weak this year outside of Lee, and out of that group Young's a guy I definitely wanted. He'd fit in really well at Citi. Plus they need a starter anyway since nobody knows when Santana will be ready.

Kemp was pretty bad last year. I just think its because he can be pretty lazy at times though and not that he's bad.

I really thought I'd be the only one. I love Matt Kemp the guy is a great player. And I would seriously give up a lot to get him. Probably just not as much as the Dodgers want. At this point I probably wouldn't trade Montero or Nunez(The Yankees think highly of him. They think he could be the next shortstop for the Yankees after a little more teaching)

I heard something about the Dodgers trading Kemp to us for a Cano package a few years ago. As much as I like Kemp he is not worth a Cano package IMHO.

If it came down to Montero/Nunez etc.etc. I might have to think it over but if they are not budging from their Cano package I would be so fucking pissed if the Yankees went for that.

Tulo is way better than Jeter at this point in their careers

You're talking about players with a decade+ difference in age. Jeter is in the latter part of his career and is fighting age right now.

Tulowitzki is a much better bet at being a better player over the next however many years. He's not even in his prime yet and Jeter is obviously nearing the final stages of his.

I don't know if he'll be worth 20M a year in the future and the contract didn't seem necessary yet when the Rockies had him signed for another 3-4 years already but if he keeps putting up seasons like his last two then he'll be just as productive if not more than Jeter was in his prime.

That Tulo deal is definitely a reaction to not keeping Holliday.

Colorado really seems to love having that face of the franchise too. Larry Walker, Todd Helton, and now Tulo.

Must be why they did this so soon. They had him for the next 4 years already for cheap. Seems unnecessary to give him an extra 6 years on top of that so soon when they really didn't have to.

I guess it gives them their franchise player but still would have been smarter to wait a couple years before extending on top of his current deal.

Rangers are about to offer a 5-year deal to Lee. One of their main selling points is the fact that Texas has no state tax. They are also trying to sell him that it's closer to his home in Arkansas.

As if that matters one bit. Sure you have to pay taxes in New York, but besides the millions the Yankees will give you you also have money pouring in from endorsements and the like.

This is Sabathia all over again, people are making any excuse possible as to why he won't move. He will be a Yankee.

Lots of negative vibes around the Yankee organization right now. I would not be surprised if that factors in Lee signing with Texas

There are even rumors of Andy Pettitte leaving. True or not, who cares? The thing is, that like Hero said, a lot of negative vibe around the Yankees...you'd think the team crash and burned last year, lost 100 games and missed the playoffs, the way this offseason is going.

And Troy will be the same age as Jeter is now at the end of the contract getting $20 million in 2019 and 2020. I know you have to factor for inflation so $20 million now wont be $20 million in 10 years but still.

His final year under contract will be his age 35 season. Next year Jeter is gonna be 37.

I'm guessing once Tulowitzki's big contract is up he won't be getting another 20M per year deal until his 40s.

OKay let's say Hypothetically the Yankees don't get Lee. Do you think they are gonna throw a package at someone for a good to great pitcher in the NL? The way I see it the Yankees don't really have a choice. The Yankees need someone and if they don't get Cliff. I see them throwing together some good package for some good pitcher in the NL. I shudder to think what the Yankees would give away if that was the case.

Is there anybody out there worth getting? It seems the Yankees think Grienke does not want to/has the heart to pitch in New York. I can't think of anyone in the NL available.

I believe Grienke has some depression disorder or some deep stress issue and the Yankees nor Greinke don't think he can handle New York . I'm kinda worried in dealing with someone with a medical problem on a big market team like the Yankees .We need someone though.

Adam Dunn signs a 4 year $56 million deal with the White Sox.

The White Sox have a DH and US Cellular is the most homer friendly park in the majors. This is going to work.
