The two 26-year-old generational stars are still free agents and now the Yankees are over the luxury-tax threshold
Now that the Yankees are over the luxury-tax threshold, they might as well do what everyone hs expected them to do for the last three years with this free-agent class.
What started as the Yankees getting two-and-a-half years of control for a potential ace, ended with Gray pitching to a 4.51 ERA in 195 2/3 regular-season innings for the Yankees to go along with a loss and no-decision in two postseason starts.
The dominant reliever has left the Yankees for the second time in his career
I thought after Robertson returned to the Yankees he would be a Yankee for as long as he continued to pitch the way he always had. But four years after the Yankees let him leave, they have let him leave again.
The low-risk, high-reward deal is a move Yankees fans should be happy about
For now, the addition of Tulowitzki is a move Yankees fans should be happy with. That happiness might not last depending on how the rest of the Yankees offseason goes.
The Yankees could sign two 26-year-old superstars and all it will take is money
The Yankees weren’t good enough to win in 2017 or 2018. They can change that in 2019 by signing two generational talents. But to do so, they need to start acting like the Yankees again.
The Yankees offseason can't end with the signing of the lefty
J.A. Happ was a necessary addition and the Yankees are better today than they were before they signed him. They are good enough to get to the postseason, but I’m not sure they are good enough to win the postseason.
The Yankees chose to not sign the best pitcher on the free-agent market and now they have only one option left
The Yankees threw away 2018 when they wouldn’t go over the luxury-tax threshold and now that they passed on Patrick Corbin, what was the point of getting under the threshold? If the Yankees don’t sign J.A. Happ, it will be a big problem.
