Final Free Agent Count: 171 Players Elect, Market Opens at Midnight

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:43:54 +0000

At midnight tonight, MLB's free agency market opens, albeit a market that by all accounts, will be slow and lack much punch. The biggest reason is the lack of heavy interest by the Yankees, such as they did last year going after C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Mark Teixeira, which fueled the ...

The Yankees would pay Lackey A.J. Burnett money

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:20:40 +0000

That's $82.5 million over five years, but according to SI's Jon Heyman, Lackey "sees himself in a higher echelon than Burnett." I think he's right to see himself that way. He's not as erratic as Burnett, and as Heyman notes...

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:33:00 +0000

It's a term that's been thrown around quite often during this week's MLB hot stove - "hometown discount". For those unfamiliar with the term, a hometown discount is when a player takes a bit of a paycut to play in the city that they grew up in, have family in, or where they started their ...

This post has been brewing for a while now, but I must admit I was just not that excited or motivated to write it. Not excited as I have been a long time baseball fanboy. Not motivated as I am not usually the curmudgeon type. I’d rather focus my energy elsewhere. But alas due to contractual [...]
