MLB Mail Bags: Yankees, Arenado, Adolis, Orioles, Red Sox, Bohm, Robert

This week’s mail bag enters Yankees, Nolan Arenadono matter Adolis Garcia Will rebound, Orioles’ position participants remain, possible Red Sox extensions, suitable Alec Bohma pair of hypothetical trade offers, etc.
Ralph asked:
If the Yankees were so close to the threshold, why would we see so many trading ideas? If no one seems to be willing to take a salary from the Yankees, how can they afford Bregman, Arenado or anyone else?
George asked:
The Yankees and Nolan Arenado seem to fit each other. Arenado, third-placed, will be a defensive upgrade, and he will back up with Goldy. Jazz returns to second. In short, the infield should be defensive.
I know Mo rejected Arenado for Stroman exchanges, but maybe he might rethink trade involving Stroman as spring training arrives. Rumors are said that the cardinal is Claytonbet Maybe about a year. Also, they can use right-handed bats.
See any way to deals that meet the needs of both teams?
Daniel asked:
Will the Yankees finally reach a deal for Arenado and Dump Stroman?
According to Rosterresource, the Yankees’ competitive balance tax salary is about 305mm. Therefore, they have exceeded the last threshold and will pay a tax of 110% for every dollar per dollar. Back in May, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner famously said: “Look, honestly, the level of salary we are currently at is simply unsustainable for the United States.” So, Although Yankees have a CBT payroll in 2024 of 316mm, it is fair to show that they won’t go higher and may just be subtracted.
It is worth remembering that Stroman is not directly associated with Arenado. The Yankees might simply eat 10-12mm of $18mm that owes him and enjoy salary and tax savings.
We talked about this last week, but reported this offseason that the Yankees’ interest in Arenaldo ranges from non-existent to modest. Yesterday, track and field Katie Woo wrote: “The New York Yankees are also continuing to check in Arenado, but the salary concerns of both organizations are unlikely to trade at this time.”
Arenado’s situation seems to be Alex Bregman The Red Sox is more than anything related to the Yankees. Regarding the financial side, two days ago, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Office wrote: “It’s obvious that the team wants the ticking clock to pay the Cardinal $15 million to 20 million more than they expected. The dollar’s salary is even bigger.
Before the Cardinal kicked a dime, Arenado’s CBT hit rate was below 21.33 mm per year because a) the Rockies paid him the remaining $74mm 10 mm, while b) $12mm 12mm without Interest until 2032. We can use $20mm. As an estimate here.
Arenado has two related complications. First: How will he perform in the next three years? Some projection systems say he will paste immediately in 3 wars in 2025. On the other hand, the above-mentioned BatX put him in the 1.4 war. Regardless of your 25-year projection in Arenado’s 34-year-old season, you’ll consider his 35-year-old and further declines in 36 sports.
Derrick Goold wrote in a recent chat: “[The Yankees] Want to take over as a player, but put the Cardinals in charge of the financial risks that Arenaldo has repeated over the past year. In this way, the Yankees’ performance “value” is sufficient. They will be stuck in the trap of what he thinks is the cost as he thinks he is, like in 2024, and the Cardinal will cover the rest. ”
I would love to sit down with Brian Cashman and take it apart because Arenado has a baseball reference worth 2.5 wars per baseball, 3.1 wars per fan. View various free agent positions participants who have signed for one year, e.g. Gleyber Torres,,,,, Paul Goldschmidt,,,,, Carlos Santanaand Maximum Keplerthe market has paid about 5-9 mm per projected war.
