I know... 8 years $264m is way, way too much money to spend on a top two shortstop. We can re-sign Dansby for 8 years $154m... am I right?

"Could jeers from fans keep MLB free agents away from the Yankees?"
New York Yankees players are used to the lofty expectations of playing in the Bronx. But they were reportedly surprised by "an unusually brutal experience" playing at home during the ALCS against the Houston Astros.
Did fans take it too far this October with their jeers? More importantly, will fan treatment discourage free agents from wanting to sign with New York this offseason?
According to SNY, at least two Yankees players told their agents that playing in the Bronx last weekend was an "unusually brutal experience." Some reportedly struggled to believe boos were directed at slugger Aaron Judge and the "force of the jeering" toward struggling third baseman Josh Donaldson.

It's made the Yankees such a better team. Not unlike in Philadelphia with fandom superiority as shown through finally showing up for NLDS games is the sort of thing that coerces the organization to the type of moves that gets them there once every 11 years.

Corbin would have worked for me.
Of course so would a pile of cow dung.

By the way we lost Goins, Dickerson and Demeritte to free agency.

Guess what.... no one here gives a crap about Philly and their inflated view of their sports fandom superiority. Most of these fans use this inflated self view as an excuse to be dicks, and to do stupid crap like throw batteries.... although I guess one could argue that when Atlanta fans threw crap on the field a few years back that we were displaying our awesome sports passion. We made jokes here all year about the half empty Philly stadium, but I digress. I don't really give three craps about people from Philadelphia, and find that many if not most of them are just jerks. I'm glad our fanbase is exactly how it is and having attended many games here since the 1970's, and have no issue with Atlanta fan's passion. Bingo.

The fact that Jansen is on that list destroys all credibility. BTW, Wright ain't gonna win the Cy.
