I think the yankees took a page from the Sox.. when a elite player becomes available, like sale, you need to get that player.
But the Yankees had to make this move. Harper wants a 400 million dollar deal..he will be two years younger than Stanton. Not much of a difference. Plus now Stanton can DH and get out of the pitchers parks of the no east..save Phillies.
He will now play 120 games in extreme hitters parks
People need to stop getting on Jeter, he has a 4% stake in the team...the real owner is a business man known for gutting companies for profit. Jeter is just a figure head, scapegoat, taking the heat unnecessarily
