The money doesn’t matter anyone. It’s long gone absurd and I’ve become numb to it. The years are long but this is unfortunately what you have to do. He’s an excellent lefty very similar to Petitte.
I think it's the cost of doing business in these times if you want to add top FA's. Sure, the years and value are over the top, but that is the way it is now, I don't get caught up on it as I wouldn't expect it to stop them from adding more players in a non-salary cap league. I think it's a solid move for the Yanks. He was the 2nd best SP on the market, good pairing with Cole as a solid # 2 starter.
Look at what actors get paid to make shitty movies that lose money, at least professional sports require talent. Fried was this Yankee fan's #1 target offseason. Next is Walker at 1B.
