The Yankees aren't really RUN like a crazy large market team these days. A lot of what they have are legacy deals

The last time they were in top 3 in money spent in an offseason was 2013-2014
In free agency

The argument isn't against the opener. It's against using Liam Hendriks in the most important game of your season.

Trading for Stanton is a high payroll thing.

True
I'm not saying they're mid-market
NathanLazarus

Yeah, in 2014 they acquired...*checks notes*...Tanaka, Ellsbury, McCann and Beltran. 3.1 combined WAR this year.

If I wanted to become a sportswriter for Fangraphs, Baseball Prospectus, MLB.com, or even ESPN, how would I do that?

Write stuff, be seen, have a niche.
Sean Dolinar

Write a lot. At at least that's what Dave Cameron has said regarding this. We have the Community section and people can pitch articles to THT.

Seriously, though, you can do *anything* with a law degree

Even build a doomsday laser?
I'm not talking about the permits and stuff, the science.

Finding something that gives you a competitive advantage is important. Coding would be my obvious bit of advice...same with wanting an analytics FO job.

What do you think Clarence Darrow did in his spare time, Dan?

Looks like 1st half Severino has showed up

Sheryl, as a person who is months away from being a lawyer, and has heard a lot that you can do anything with a law degree, do you have any interesting examples? Other than baseball writer of course.
