    I'm surprised the other owners haven't put out a hit on Cohen.

    Tucker's contract just went up at least 1 year and $50M

    Yesterday I projected him at 10/$300M

    Now I'm thinking 12/$384M

    Mets payroll isn’t even that high even with Soto, something like $100M lower than it was last season. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them sign Bregman and a top SP. Bregman is long gone.

    Contracts like this are insane and I would never want our owner to do that, nor would he.

    I don't think I have ever seen Yankee fans upset about losing a FA, like ever. Usually other team's franchise players go there...

    Well some may have motive...
    https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/...harged by,plead guilty to criminal misconduct.

    Cohen was never charged by prosecutors, but in 2013 SAC as an institution agreed to pay a record $1.8 billion fine, becoming the first major Wall Street institution in a generation to plead guilty to criminal misconduct.

    So do we credit Verlander for allowing Soto to go from the Bronx to Queens...?

    Jude AB #2 - strike out
    Tucker AB #3 - single with 2 outs
    Judge AB #3 - shallow fly out
    Tucker AB #4 - solo HR (but only because the Yankees were down 6-1.

    Can anyone imagine Bregman not doing squat at the plate for the first 2 moths of the season as per his past would indicate after signing in the Big Apple.

    If he goes to either NY teams, he will be booed out of the stadium. Those fans don't understand it takes two months for that pump to get primed.

    Yankees fans are the freakin worst. For decades, fans of other teams have been losing their best players to this franchise every single winter. STFU.

    Maybe it is $500M

    I have underestimated before.

    But if your question was some kind of sarcasm because you think I am overvaluing Tuck then I am afraid FA, as we have known it, for star players is gone.
