Strider had TJ. If I were ATL I wouldn't count on him in 2025.

LH 1B/OF option if we move on from Singleton?
Joc Pederson has declined his end of a mutual option, source tells ESPN. He's a free agent.

Would love his bat but only makes sense if you think he can be your 1B.

Rizzo will be available and should be rather cheap.

Is it possible the goal of Cole is to just get the Yankees to add a year? Isn't that a condition for them to avoid the opt out?

Seems really risky on his part. I know the Yankees need an ace, but is he really worth what he already was getting, much less adding another year. Seems like he's giving the Yankees an easy out of his contract only to not get anywhere near what he's already making from the market. They can probably get Burnes for cheaper than what Cole was already getting.

I think it's to extend his contract with the Yankees.

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

I agree, but why would the Yankees opt back into that deal plus another year tacked on? If I'm them, I'm jumping at the chance to get out of it. Unless he's got assurances from them already, he's taking a really stupid risk.

I think it is stating that those on the top are least likely to fall for the fax news and think it is funny while those at the bottom of the list are more likely to fall for it and/or take offense at the joke.
