DJ LeMahieu to Yankees

Nice pickup and probably means they're not in pursuit of Machado.

Congrats to [MENTION=12878]death2redemptions[/MENTION] for signing a big 24mil deal with a contending team. I'm guessing this means you're going to go on a wax binge?

Great signing, 5.3 War great defensive player, won a batting title in 2016. so glad to not have that head case Machado.

Maybe they're trying to save some money for next year's FA's!!!!!

What % chance would you give LeMahieu of having a better WAR season than Machado next year?! Maybe 10-15% seems fair.... he is a very consistent player with great D. This is one of the better pickups so far.

I'm going to Disneyland and spending it all on the teacup ride!!!

I'm mostly excited that he's going to get a lot more of those cheap shot home runs over the short porch so it's a win-win for my fantasy team.

I’m concerned with his home vs road splits.

Ugh....you're right. I didn't put that into consideration.

Here's something to consider. Tulowitzki and Lemahieu are both close personal friends with Nolan Arenado, who's a free agent in 2020. Maybe the Yankees are strategizing nabbing him next year? 28 isn't a retired Yankees #...

This would kill me if true. I'd hate to see Arenado in anything other than purple. But it kinda makes sense.

Arenado seems like a good guy but I can't imagine he gives enough of a hometown discount to stay in the Rockies, he's going to be offered huge...yuuuuge money, way more worth it than the two jokers this year.
