Makes sense. His brother used to play first base for the Yankees.

Long press the notification and you can turn it off

I was driving from Harrisburg to York, PA and Waze told me that rather than take the direct route of 83 South directly to York, to instead take 83 North east, take 283 South to the PA Turnpike, then take the Turnpike (which has a toll) west to... 83 South.

That’s technically possible, but I can’t see his team risking injury by playing him anywhere but as a corner outfielder, which would mean he’d have to be a great hitter, rather than just a good hitter, to make that worthwhile, because you’d be taking a good bat out of the game in order to keep him in.

Matt Holliday isn’t on the team anymore. They don’t have a DH.

Take note of who the Yankees’ DH right now is.

They don’t even need to be sure, just be able to convince an arbitrator.

Not a huge one, though. Not having a full-time DH gives you an extra roster spot for a pinch-hitter, and an Adam Lind type off your bench will result in not having a major disadvantage the first time the pitcher comes around, and having to use a pinch hitter a second time will only happen a few times a year. The…

But how about the turkey’s skin?

It would make sense that it wasn’t his call, since he said Taylor was starting a couple of days before he said Peterman was starting.

OK, but you were making that point in response to an analysis of if it’s financially rational for him to come while he’s subject to international signing limits, or wait two years, so I assumed you were making some kind of point about negotiating leverage, instead of a comment that didn’t relate to mine.

If he signs a contract with an MLB team, he cannot go back to Japan until he’s played 6 years in MLB, unless his MLB team releases him.

You don’t have to have a DH. You write Ohtani into the lineup in the games he starts. Once he leaves the game, you use pinch hitters for the pitcher, which will usually only be for one plate appearance, sometimes none. On days when he doesn’t start, he’s the DH.

MLB can void any extension if it seems to them it was negotiated prior to his initial signing, and likely will void any extension before next offseason.

For the AL team, they can opt to not use a DH the days he starts. It is expected that on his off days, he’ll DH (so he gets to rest while still hitting, and doesn’t get injured in the field).
