Just win dammit.
That is great news!
We haven't seen him in like 3 years but yeah probably
That's what he says. Whether the team agrees or not remains to be seen.
He is not even teasing this year. He has been just awful. His stuff is all straight and he no control of his cutter and slider. That is why he is giving up such hard contact cause his four seam fastball is so damn hittable even though he still throws it 99mph. That is vintage Eovaldi.
Yeah but he’s so gritty...

is having a typical Eovaldi season (tease here and there, but mostly a heartbreak). Certainly, not the year he had last year. Of course he seems to do well against the Yanks.

Of course he'll throw 7 scoreless tonight
We are going to need Happ to earn his money.
Make daddy happy.
I don't think it was a bigger leap of faith than we took with Happ. With his age and clearly declining stuff, i'm still at a loss.

Consecutive perfect games and that contract would still have been the height of lunacy, IMO. I get that some level of overpay may have been practical for the huge role he played in last year’s WS run, but 4 * 17 is an outsized assumption of risk.

I was pretty outspoken against Happ, so I don’t really disagree. But 4 guaranteed years vs 2 + vesting option is a fairly big step-down in risk.

Perhaps but Happ is 36 and Eovaldi is 29. I'll go for a younge arm with less tread more often than not.
Ugh. I was worried about this after ST.
1-0
Again, I see zero reason to think Happ is going to give us value.

Giving Eovaldi 4 years is pure lunacy. Eovaldi's arm doesn't necessarily come with less trend since he has had two TJS.
Happ - hard pass
Someone needs to take him out and take Marlins Man with him. I can't stand that fucking orange idiot.
Bad... bad... bad.....

J.A. Happ signed a 2 year / $34,000,000 contract with the New York Yankees, including $34,000,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $17,000,000. In 2019, Happ will earn a base salary of $17,000,000, while carrying a total salary of $17,000,000.

Wow, okay that's better at least. Still though, he's looking quite toasty immediately into the contract. Hopefully, he can turn it around.

And roots for Boston. Same seat behind home only vs the Sux.

You DO realize he is a lawyer, rarely goes to court and is a marketing object for his firm right?
He has the greatest life ever. He goes to all the events he wants to (many times grabbing ticket seekers to sit in his great company seats) and pretty much works remotely.
He is not exactly Fire Fuck Face Ed.
3 years
