McCann is my man and all but 80 million dollars?

to him for gettin his money though, hope he does well.

 

[Rekkapryde]

would've loved to keep him but

McCann is that dude but Gattis can take his place if it's gonna cost 80 million bucks.

Very good hitter, solid against the running game, excellent pitch-framer

Pretty good deal for the Yanks imo

Good Signing... They needed a catcher who can hit ....... At least he will be on the good side of 30 during the life of the deal...... Little Pricey though, thought they were trying to get under the luxury tax threshold.


Does this deal affect Cano?

 

[Born2BKing]

I give him 2 years max before he falls way the fukk off

 

[Da_Eggman]

Great hitter but on the delving he will be mostly DH by the 2nd year

But gives the yanks some heart
