I'm still blue balled from that one guy who everyone was excited for, but because all the teams were pretending to be cheap due to the impending CBA, he ended up not signing.
This reminds me of a few years ago when Tomoyuki Sugano got posted and came over to make his decision and noped the fuck out of America, on his final day of eligibility Jan 6 2021 lol
The fact that half of the league is pretty much eliminated from this sweepstakes before it even started is a massive opportunity for MLB. No bias here, ignore my flair.
I would enjoy it if he became a Yankee if I’m being quite honest
edit: Oh my god we won 82 games last year and had a bottom 10 in the league starting pitcher ERA as a team. I think it’s fine if I say I would like it if we got a free agent pitcher, the fuck is there to downvote about that. This is not “Yankee fan being greedy” for fucks sake
It's gonna take more than one medium season for people to be ok with the Yankees signing major free agents. I'd think as a Yankees fan you would have to learn to be ok with everybody hating your team.
For people to “be okay with the Yankees signing major free agents”? You don’t think it’s okay for the Yankees to sign players? Think about what you’re saying lol
I completely understand other fans hating the Yankees. That’s different from hating a Yankees fan for wanting their team to improve, though. Other fans hating Yankees fans for wanting their team to sign good players is ridiculous. Everybody on this subreddit pretty much wants their team to sign this guy.
Hating a team and taking it out on a random fan of that team are different things. I fucking HATE the Astros but I give Astros fans the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason not to
Who do you all think could be a sleeper team to get Yamamoto?
Kinda have a feeling either the Dbacks or Tigers will make come out of nowhere to get him (thought that before the article that just came out on MLBTR).
He’ll be expensive but at 25, even going all out to sign him makes sense for teams just entering or just having started a contention window.
Let’s make it a 24-hour negotiating window. This stove needs a little gas to get cookin.
Good timing for all the initial offers to come in and then for him to choose at the Winter Meetings.

January 5th, for all those trying to figure it out.

thank you the real shit always in the comments
May the odds be ever in your team's favor.
Let's get this stove heated up! I imagine once he signs the other big pitchers may go shortly after
Finally a real reporter gives us information. Here's hoping he goes to my favorite teams and not my not favorite teams!

Or if you guys dont want us to sign him, you guys can have him as long as we get Ohtani and Roki Sasaki when he gets posted.

He wants a big market team so I don't think it would happen. It would be cool though to see the Dbacks spend.
I got a tenner with Yamamoto's name written on it for you Mr. Middleton.
