How am I supposed to feel with the inevitable announcement that the Yankees sign Jon Lester for 7 years and 160 million?

Sign Jed Lowrie with Absrubal Cabrera on a one year deal as a Plan B
Sign David Robertson with Andrew Miller Plan B
Sign Brandon McCarthy or Francisco Liriano
Consider Torin Hunter or Alex Rios on a cheap one year deal
Sign Emilio Bonafacio as a super utility guy

It's a 100% game changer

Totally agree The only thing to me that would lighten that blow is if they go after Andrew Miller to replace the Betances role |

Colombian outfielder Bryan Emery, the No. 23 international prospect for July 2, has signed with the Yankees.
Emery, 16, was the last available player from Baseball America’s Top 30 international prospects list for July 2, and the signing gives the Yankees 10 of those top 30 players.
Emery is 6-foot-3, 190 pounds with a loose swing from the left side. He had been switch-hitting, though he’s hit exclusively lefthanded in recent months. He’s strong and generates easy, explosive power, though leading up to July 2, there were mixed reviews about his game hitting, partly because of his environment. Emery trained with Ivan Noboa, the same trainer who brokered an international amateur record $4.95 million bonus for Dominican outfielder Nomar Mazara with the Rangers in 2011, and scouts frequently lament that they can’t get enough game looks at Noboa’s players. Some scouts who have seen him recently have seen better game performance, with a simplified hitting approach and a cleaner setup that helped him stay more direct to the ball. Emery’s athletic for his size, has a strong arm and has worked out for clubs in the infield and the outfield, but he fits best in right field, where he will begin his career.
While the bonus for Emery was not confirmed, it will essentially cost the Yankees double the bonus to sign him. The organization spent record money on international amateur bonuses this year to go well beyond their bonus pool, which means they are paying a 100 percent overage tax on all their signings and won’t be allowed to sign anyone for more than $300,000 the next two signing periods, beginning July 2, 2015.

I think they got Cano for like $10,000 at one time. Alphonso Soriano, too. But they have passed on the International market recently. Just watching them pass on Puig, Aroldis, Abreu, Cespedes etc... Has confused me quite a bit. Cashman does it again??? |

Shattered a whole bunch of financial records And STILL spent less that they will pay ARod this year. Such a no-brainer to throw money at these guys. Even if only 1 of 5 pan out, it's well worth it. |

Looks like he woke up...or maybe it was the mythical brain trust in Tampa that REALLY runs the team. Either way, watch out for the Yankees in 2021!! |

Well saying id rather they not get tied up in another long term deal sure to get ugly, doesn't mean I'd be upset if it happened. I just think the lineup needs more addressing, and they should go in the mid market range in the rotation |

That works both ways, Cherington can have the same effect on the way the Yankees pay a guy But yes, I believe the leak of a dinner between Cashman and Lester can get other GMs to re-assess their position |

During November you hear little about the Yankee's activities and then all of sudden they are in on everyone. Cashman thinks he's being sneaky. "Oh yeah - we're totally not interested in Scherzer, Lester, or Shields. Who are they?" |

I just think the lineup needs more addressing, and they should go in the mid market range in the rotation Yankees sign one of Lester or Scherzer. Dodgers sign the other. I've heard that they're out on Scherzer for a while but with rumblings still that they'd be the "mystery" team that always emerges late with him, but I get the feeling they really are going to law low. Kind of pissed about that because I think they could've constructed a real contender with the pieces they had and the free agents out there, but instead I get the feeling they'll be stuck in that 85ish win mode again that does no good whatsoever. |
