Tanaka and sabathia combined for a 23-16 record last season. When will owners stop with the long contracts? Strassburg just stole 175 mil from the Nats for 7 years. This guy is good when healthy but lets face it he never is. Do you honestly think he will last 7 more years? The GM that agreed to the Strassburg contract should be fired and seek mental help. It calls for 45 mil in 2023! I will bet my house that he won't even be pitching by then. The Yankees are done for years. The only good young player on their team is the catcher Sanchez. Judge is a strikeout king who won't hit .250, he will K at least 200 times or more and Bird will be average at best, maybe .265. They got nothing.
