So seldom do these contracts ever pan out. They almost always turn into really bad deals. But if the Yankees don't do it, somebody else will.

Well maybe not the Rays, but someone with a little extra cash in their pockets.

Apparently no one but the Yankees were willing to pay that much.
And interesting that they were unwilling to pay Cano -- a possible HOFer in the prime of his career -- much more than what they're paying this pitcher with no MLB track record. I'm actually starting to think Hank Steinbrenner is an idiot.

I hate the Yankees, but for the pitcher-and I say this in all sincerity and compassion-I hope it works out better than it did for Hideki Irabu.

Hideki Irabu anyone? If a any MLB team wants to sign a Japanese player, sign a position player, not a pitcher!

I miss Hideki Irabu aka "The fat toad". Possibly the best nickname ever.

The Yankees could have had Cano for 8 years and $200 million is my guess. Certainly Cano wasn't expecting them to match the Mariners' offer of $240 million. Guaranteeing $45 million more over 7-8 years for a possible HOF player seems pretty reasonable considering the other guy has never thrown a pitch in the major leagues.

I actually like the deal vs. paying Cano. They have the hitters, they NEEDED pitching to make a serious WS run. Time will tell of Tanaka is as advertised. Last edited by MyGuyTy; 01-22-2014 at 01:10 PM. |

Jeff--I don't think the relevant comparison is versus Cano. The Yankees desperately need pitching and he was their best alternative. The question to ask is why the Yankees shelled out all that money for Ellsbury when for about the same amount they could have had Cano.

Tanaka will help- he was 24-0 after all- but they are such a mishmash of old and brittle players that it is hard to imagine much good will happen for them in 2014. Look for them to hover around .500 this year and miss the playoffs.
