Both of their salaries combined is less than Tanaka's. You have to be kidding me.

Arrieta, Dee Gordon, Keuchel, and Volquez make less money combined (14 million) than Tanaka's 22 million.

If even 1/10th of the Yankees fans become aware of this, there will be enough pressure for Tanaka to opt out in 2017.

Yankees fans need to be aware of their cripped payroll.

Is Cashman really Cashman? That is the question.

He loves giving out huge contracts to incompetent players.

He wastes cash, but he still has cash, so he's still Cashman, I guess.

Bambino.

There's only a single curse now, but I think there's a second curse coming soon.

Maybe the Nationals can catch the Daniel Murphy curse from the Mets.

Curse of The Dim.

Yankees are under the Curse of The Rice Paddy. ("Tanaka" means "Rice Paddy" in Japanese; no racial overtone intended.)

Bill Buckner was Daniel Murphy before it was cool! Tanaka is the baseball equivalent or Derrick Rose.

Say the Nationals need to tank for a higher draft pick. They know who to recruit.

I rather want a Dim that hits .111 but makes every great defensive play, rather than one that hits .280 but allows the easiest grounder to get beneath his legs.

Nelson Cruz gets paid the same as Dim does, but he can hit a .365 and make sound defensive plays. That's why his future is bright.

Nelson Cruz should make double than Murphy makes. In fact, Murphy should make 5 million.

So does the Yankees pitcher who throws rice balls..., oops, I meant baseballs. You know who.

Keuchel and Arrieta both deserve 20 million.

Close to 30, if someone like Tanaka gets 22.

Buster Posey's 2nd HR of the season.

#SFGiants have now hit a HR in 7 consecutive games.

We've come back to tie the game 5 each. A rocky start, but it's still early!

Jake Arrieta is an all-purpose man in MLB.

Tanaka should get paid in a 5 year, 49 million contract. Reasonable price without being tied down to a long contract.

I'd go for a 3-year, 24-5 million.
