I'd like to draw your attention to Masahiro Tanaka

[Tyrone Biggums]

@Ken_Rosenthal: BREAKING: Tanaka to #Yankees, seven years, $155M, opt-out after fourth year.

I don't know if this is something to cry about. If he busts the Yankees are beyond screwed

Here's hoping he finds the same level of success in pinstripes as Kei Igawa

I don't know if this is something to cry about. If he busts the Yankees are beyond screwed

And if he has any success, after 4 years he will opt out to gouge them out of even more money.

Terrible deal imo, investing $175M in a guy who has yet to throw a mlb pitch. Especially considering that the overwhelming majority of Japanese pitching imports have limited to zero success over the long haul in mlb.

How many more FA will they sign in the next week, now that $189 is out the window.
