The ground shakes in Japan, and the number of people killed or injured in earthquake related incidents in the world is small. This guy wants his big bucks along with high trophy odds. About it.
Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

Depressing but where I'm at:
We're not getting him.
We have nothing to offer
Other than big bucks.

If I’m Cohen I’m having him walk into one of those wind booths where you grab money. Then I’d show him around the area adjacent to the stadium, maybe the most culturally Asian area in the US. Then I’m lining up his sponsors to give a dog and pony show on how he’ll be connected to Ohtani-like sponsorships.
Then I’m showing him pictures of Yankees fans, all of whom are disgusting.
Have you ever been to a SoSH bash? Frank would be one of the cooler ones amongst us. He has the patience and measured responses that would align really well here.
(I don’t know him well, I did see one of his rants on Vogelback that was…. *chef’s kiss*)
I was waiting for this and so happy that you obliged. I have read the backstory piece more frequently than "The Night Before Christmas" and it brings me more joy. Thank you!This should be sufficient.
Do any sports books have odds of where Yamamoto lands? That always seems to be an interesting data point.
Money being equal, I will never grasp a pitcher willingly going to Yankee stadium with that RF.
That sure as shit read like the front office planting the seeds for softening the dejection
Unfortunately, the same can be said of Fenway and the Monster. In fact, Fenway is consistently rated a more hitter-friendly park than Yankee Stadium.
Yankee Stadium is overall not a hitter’s park and actually has the least singles/doubles/triples to RF of any park (for obvious reasons).
I tried and failed to find the pizza version. Argh.This should be sufficient.
We probably want to wait before showing him the Remy-Orsillo pizza highlights. I doubt that's a strong selling point.
This is from yesterday, I think he posted it about 12 hours ago but it's likely older than that, probably on the plane coming from LA to NY.
Having just visited NYC, if you want to dissuade Yamamoto from signing there, take him on a walking tour of anything in the vicinity of Times Square this weekend. It was absurdly packed with people just blindly walking right into one another. Zero etiquette. Zero spatial awareness. And every city block reeked of filth, sewage, cigarettes, and stale marijuana.
New York is a disgusting cesspool.I don’t know why anyone would willingly live there.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the constant road rage, horn blasting, and deployment of riot police to deal with violent protestors.
Also show Yamamoto a video of A-Rod’s glove slap and the fans subsequently throwing garbage on the field - citing the Yankees as a team rife with a history of dishonorable conduct and disgraceful behavior among the fans.

In 2023, LHBs accounted for about 41.1% of all plate appearances. And you also need to look at how well RHPs did against RHBs/LHBs as well as how well LHPs did.

Clicking on any of the Splits in red letters will bring up the stats for teams and clicking on the team in red letters will bring up that team's pitchers for a particular category.

Is that a plane? It looks nicer than my house. By a lot. Guessing quarter billion still covers a nice charter.
The hashtag below reads "Super Joel." So guessing that's his agent, and he's happy with his work?
Next time he's up in the air someone should tell him the tale about the time that the disgusting Thurmon Munson signed with the Yankees and how that ended up.
You know what I love about Times Square? It keeps the tourists out of the good parts of Manhattan.
But Yoshida did sign with the Sox, so have Harper repeat whatever he said before
Can we make this required reading for anyone applying for membership?

Forget Midtown. Just show him what the area around the stadium looks like. It’s a terrible experience, especially once someone has been to places like Fenway that have really been built up and look much, much nicer.
What about that piece in any way reads as “we came close?” It’s basically an absolutely nothing of a throwaway article that allows Tomase to collect the rumors and “news” bits that everyone already knows and use them to take a couple of shots at the Sox for being cheap because they didn’t sign Xander.
And what about that piece in any way reads like a plant from the Sox? There are literally no quotes from anyone, there’s no indication the Sox won’t get Yamamoto…and it’s written by John fucking Tomase. Why would the Sox attempt to plant seeds of sympathy with a guy whose entire shtick is to be Shaughnessy Jr.?
I've been trying to find a pic of this clown for a while to send to my brother every time he talks smack about the Sox (he's a MFY fan). Thank you for this!This should be sufficient.
"Yamamoto must make a decision by Jan. 4, and at least the Red Sox appear to be in play. After four years avoiding the top of the market, that counts for something."
Let's hang a banner
Easy now. I was raised in Massachusetts (still think it's the best state in the Union!), but have lived in NYC off and on for a total of 15 years of my life. It is a glorious city - grand, hip, dynamic, diverse, incredible. Yes Times Square sucks (just worked there six days a week for a year)! And the cost of housing sucks (well, it does in Boston, too). But it is a world city, with a lot of beauty actually, and so much going on.
As for your average Yankees fan and the Yankee Stadium experience, that's another matter ....I've got stories ...
again... its written by freaking Tomase..... I have a better chance of hitting a grand slam off of a Prime Pedro than the FO using him as a damn Mouth Piece for the sox
I mean - if he plays for the Mets he can live in Manhasset or Glen Cove (where Max Scherzer purchased an incredible house). He would "never" have to step foot in Manhattan.
If he plays for the Yankees - he has even more options in Westchester and the Connecticut area.
This is a silly post.
That was me ... before I was told it was Tomase. Then I backtracked. But no one reads threads long enough to see later interactions. They just want to get all hot and bothered by initial posts and never bother to follow the conversation.
