Last week Tanaka made some comments that are a cause for concern, saying that he is cautious entering spring training and the season. On this week’s episode Scott and I talk about Tanaka’s comments and what we hope he will bring to the Yankees this season.
It was also announced last week that Chapman and the Yanks avoided arbitration, agreeing to $11.325M salary for the ’16 season. We talk about the Yanks future plans for Chapman and play-out scenarios for if Chapman struggles as closer to start the season (even if it is unlikely).
