LeMathieu to the Yankees. 24M over 2 years.
Always thought this was the way to go for the Yankees. I don’t see the short or even long term need for Harper or Machado. It’s a buyers market so go shopping on the short term contract for mid tier guys which is what they are doing.
Might have fallen into a depreciating asset in Stanton, don’t need more in Machado or Harper when you will need big deals for guys like Judge, Torres, Andujur and Severino... maybe guys like Paxton too.
Plus you have a next wave of prospects you don’t want to block.
Machado and Harper would do more for teams like the White Sox and Phillies.
