can we please give Clarke Schmidt a shot?
Going to be an interesting offseason for the Yankees.
Tanaka, Paxton and Happ are all FA's and frankly, I wouldn't bring any of them back at this point.
I'd roll with this rotation next year:
Cole
Severino
FA (Bauer or Stroman)
Montgomery
Clarke Schmidt[/quote]
Why wouldn't you bring Tanaka back[/quote]
He's 32 in Nov. Has a partially torn ligament in his elbow and his VELO seems to be decreasing every year.
I like him, but I'm not investing in him long term. Would he take a 1 year deal?
If I'm giving out a 3-5 year contract for a starter my preference us for a younger guy like Bauer or Stroman.[/quote]
Want nothing to do with Stroman. High maintenance.
Tanaka I like and his numbers are still strong. I'd go 4 years personally. No issues with that.[/quote]
How much per year for 4 years?[/quote]
No idea. Not my money :silly:

That's a bargain! At least comparatively speaking...

$10m a year for a switch hitting CF is chump change. It's Ottavino money for a starting CF... {wish they had a "shrug" emoji on this site}
Are you good with giving Tanaka 4 years, $100m? He's making $23m this year and I doubt he's looking for a pay cut in his free agent year. Asking for a friend...

You have no friends
How cute picking arguably the worst contract in baseball history. I guess its a bargain compared to next 7 years of Stanton too :blink:
Maybe it's a Japanese thing and Tanaka will follow his countryman in Kuroda who did short home team discount deals to finish out his career.
