Toronto asking for top prospects/all-star players for a mid-tier starter is a smokescreen to not trade within the division. They were never going to deal Stroman to the Yankees, unless the package in return was bonkers. Read more
I get that the Yankees don’t want to overpay, but how badly do the Yanks want to win a World Series (a decade and counting)? Read more

Ball Four taught me that you can just get a tan one week before spring training and your teammates will think you worked out all off-season. I tried it in 2008 and it actually worked! Read more
