Yeah I kinda wonder if Steve Cohen is so mad that he just blows past the Yankees' offer to get someone, anyone. 

Both the Mets and Yankees are having brutal offseasons. Yankees missed out on everyone by holding a months-long staring contest with Bellinger.

Cohen trolled his team's fans right before the Tucker's news broke. So he'll have to do something quickly.

Of course Dodger fans are calling Friedman the greatest GM of all time in any sport. Yeah, it’s easy to be called that when your owners spend like no other club has in MLB history. Theo Epstein shits all over him. 

No other club in sports history.

I'd bet my life there are deferrals. But I'm sure the AAV is probably close to $50m or more.

• $64M signing bonus
• Tucker may opt out of contract after 2027 and 2028 World Series
• $30M in salary is deferred ($10M annually, 2027-29)

Yep. This post was made prior to that coming out. Less deferred money than I expected.

Will he be worth his $/WAR though?

How the horsefeathers do 11 teams have a payroll under 126?

He's certainly un upgrade for them in the OF. For a team that spends a bajillion dollars, they had a rough OF in terms of fWAR

I'm happy he's now a confirmed psycho

I'd LOVE to see Bregmen have a better 2026 than him. 
 

The Dodgers have 8 nine figure contracts?! That’s crazy.

I can't see people flocking to buy the jersey of the least charismatic dude in baseball quite the same way.

You can’t tell me dude isn’t trying to be more charismatic.

because there's no salary floor, and these teams are pocketing their revenue sharing cut instead of trying to win.

Winning the WS and then adding Edwin Diaz and Tucker is BS.

Tucker deal seems pretty Tucker- friendly.  That Bichette deal is pretty good for the Mets.
