Source confirms: Beltran in agreement with the #Astros, one year, $16M, full no-trade clause. First on agreement: @Buster_ESPN.
Beltran was DD's plan A.
I wonder what plan B is?
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
$16 mil for 1 year seems extremely reasonable, so I can't imagine this was a matter of us wanting him badly but getting outbid. Makes me wonder what else Dombrowski has up his sleeve...
i think we go after mike napoli or jose bautista...just a feeling...and i think we will go after chris sale.
Wake up Dave!
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Dombrowski might be more preoccupied with figuring out how to squeeze Encarnacion under the limit
