Yanks-Red Sox, for sure.
Cole, $36M a year, failed last night, his contract goes another 6 years, is he having back problems? Chronic? The super salary teams like Yankees, Dodgers ($282M), and a few others can afford to deal with this kind of situation but most franchises cannot.
I do not know what is going to be negotiated this winter but IMO some kind of salary cap should be explored, the top 7-8 markets have the $$$, the others cannot compete, sure TB does ($71M) and a few others, but it is a joke. Dodgers lose Bauer, no problem, they just took Scherzer at the trade deadline. Next!
