MLBTR gave reasons why the Sox will try to get under the limit, and in essence, going over for another year will end up costing the team about $100 million in various ways. Even to John Henry, $100 million is a lot of money...
You are correct, but with an investment like this no one will let some prospects to stay in the way of a WS ring, Cashman has been cautious in dealing prospects, but if we get closer to the trade deadline and we have one clear weakness and dealing prospects will fix it, then you deal those prospects for the missing parts

We better take advantage of this window, because this contract will come back and bite us in the rear side.
Teams have been more conscious on the value of prospects and the big market teams have invested heavily in Latinamerica where a big part of the top prospects come from, that and a lot of luck will get a team on top for an extended period of time. The case of the Dodgers is a clear example of this, they been incredible in the draft and in the International market, even if they don't have a WS ring to show for it, it doesn't diminish their amazing farm system in the last few years.

I was speaking of the Yankees farm over the last few years, and yes, it was helped by those deals for prospects.
Okay, most of the trade guys are graduated or gone, now, but their not as highly ranked as a farm anymore either.
You guys have continued to do well with IFAs, but your pool money will be lower going forward. To expect your farm to stay very good as you draft low and get diminished pool money is a hope not based on the odds.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
When did this turn into the Yankee Forum? Who the f@@@ cares about them?
Joel and the other New York Post boys will be the first ones to lose their minds if Gerrit Cole gets off to a shaky start in the Apple.

We have you and Slasher here to batter them, so it's all good.

He had a 4+ ERA after May. sub 2 ERA the rest of the way. I don't think there will be panic in the streets
Hal sucks
The Yankees made a 9 year $324 Mil contract for one player. I would say that was a huge risk for them. Will he stay healthy and for how long. I can imagine 7 years of an unproductive $36 mil weight on their team. Position players are less of a risk, but even then the long term contracts foor those players have significant risk and should be entered upon with the realization they could backfire.
Yankees now have positioned themselves to dominate next three or four years. If it wasn't for Ellsbury, they could've have signed another starter. Scary thought.
We're fighting for a wildcard spot.
There would be some angst, with scribes and message board wizards pointing out that he threw 249 innings last year and 462 innings the last 2 years-massive totals by today's standards-and suggesting it may have caught up to him.
