So, before the Yankees even pay a single player not on a fixed or arbitration salary, that puts the payroll at $242M.

You're talking well over 250M in payroll after everything else adds in. With CBT penalties, that's 267M PLUS a drop in 10 spots in their first pick of the draft, which puts essentially forfeits a first round draft pick in 2022.

It's a very safe bet that this won't happen.

And for what it's worth, there's not a chance in the world the Yankees get Lindor AND Carrasco for that price. I'm not even sure they get Lindor for it.

Hicks is owed 52M over the next 5 years. Cleveland is not giving up Lindor for a potentially terrible contract.

The Yankees aren't getting elite talent by giving up their sloppy seconds. Cleveland's front office would run circles around Cashman intellectually, and wouldn't even think about these proposals for longer than it takes to read them.

In the words of an old Peter, Paul, and Mary song: "When will they ever learn? "

Delusional spankee fan! . NO WAY the Tribe would ever do something so ridiculous especially for Lindor and Carrasco. The baseball world does not exist just to bend over for the spankees.
