@rBillSimmonsPod Where did people come up with the fact that an auction takes that long or that it needs to be in person? It takes probably 30 minutes longer than a snake draft. Completely made up concern.

What’s interesting is it kind of depends on where you are sitting. I’ve had certain seats that are right in front of the speakers and I can barely hear the people next to me. Just ruined the game.

Other seats are farther from the speakers and it’s annoying, but largely ok.

Gary did a great job with this. I’ve left the stadium a few times with my ears hurting, and it had nothing to do with how loud the fans were yelling.

@RyanGarciaESM Isn’t the floor 90% of the cap in both the NBA and NFL? You did say $200m+, but even still underestimated it by a good margin!

@AndrewMarchand Andrew - why does MLB seemingly struggle with their media rights negotiations while the NBA flourishes when MLB has certain advantages (WS ratings, ASG ratings, local games ratings)? I get the NBA also has things going for it, but the gulf in value is crazy.

@mike_petriello Plus, you’d have to somehow believe that pitchers have been throwing much harder since about 2008…but then also threw hard back 40 years ago…so they just all stopped throwing hard sometime before 2008?

@Majorleaguemadd Definitely possible. Last year I got Legends seats just before first pitch at $130. And that was a sunny, Sunday afternoon game.

There is a portion of Yankee fandom on Twitter that is just plugging their ears and ignoring every Yankees source confirming that Arenado is not an option simply because they don’t want that to be true.

Gerrit Cole, 34, opted out of his 4 year $144m contract, hoping for 5 years $180m, and the Yankees called his bluff.

Blake Snell, 32, signs a 5 year $182m contract (lower PV with deferrals).

Gerrit’s elbow might be terrible, but Yankees got a deal.

@Lucas_Shaw Thanks!

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

@Lucas_Shaw The Netflix number is “households,” not viewers, right? Could that mean actual viewers was even higher than the Super Bowl?? Maybe close?

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

@AndrewMarchand Andrew, how can something be a budget move if they will continue paying him for 2 more years? What am I missing?

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

@BrendanKutyNJ Two of his three HRs have landed there now. The new chief justice.

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

Hitting a HR straight into the Judge’s Chambers means Rice is the captain now, I don’t make the rules.

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

Congrats on your 1st Big League Home Run, Ben!

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

@mike_petriello I get spaces are limited, but is Rodón close for you?

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

@mike_petriello No worries, amazing update this week. Really enjoying it. Thanks to the whole team

Feels like Austin Wells is on the verge of a breakout. Results haven’t been there, but making good contact and just hasn’t been rewarded yet.

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

@AndrewMarchand Got it. I just can’t stand getting a notification that someone homered or seeing it on Twitter before it happens on my TV because I’m streaming. But I’m probably chronically too online.

[Yankees Tweets @Yankees_Tweets]

@AlexFast8 Gerrit Cole can opt out, but the Yankees can overrule the opt out by adding on an additional year to the deal. Seems virtually impossible at this stage that he’s a FA in 9 months.
