Those eight players combine for $45.4625M in actual […] The post Breaking down Luis Severino’s pending arbitration case appeared first on River Avenue Blues.

NYY news: DJ Le-May-Who?
Yankees sign DJ LeMahieu; Zach Britton explains why he returned to New York; Luis Severino headed to arbitration; Yankees settle with other players NY Post | Dan Martin: The Yankees signed an infielder yesterday, but it was not who many Yankees fans were hoping for. The club inked veteran second baseman DJ LeMahieu to a two-year, $24 million deal. Now that the Yankees have a full infield, this all but shuts the door on a potential deal with Manny Machado. While LeMahieu does have some value, his acquisition is far less impactful than Machado would have been. The Yankees plan to use LeMahieu...

Yankees avoid arbitration with all eligible players except Luis Severino
Good news: Severino is the only player heading to arbitration. The Yankees weren’t able to agree to terms with Luis Severino by today’s deadline, but we know that they’ve made agreements with Greg Bird, Austin Romine, and Aaron Hicks.

Yankees Arbitration Tracker: All deals reached but Luis Severino
For the Yankees, Didi Gregorius is the player to keep an eye on. With the shortstop expected to miss at least half the season the Yankees should be aiming to get him at a lower price than if he were healthy.

Yankees, Luis Severino to head to arbitration
The Bombers couldn’t agree to terms with their ace pitcher. It’s been a busy day for the Yankees so far. They signed DJ LeMahieu, plus avoided arbitration with the likes of Austin Romine and Aaron Hicks. The progress hit a speedbump, however, when it came to their ace right-hander. According to Jeff Passan, the Yankees and Luis Severino couldn’t agree to a contract and well head to a hearing. Severino, 24, pitched to a 3.39 ERA with a 2.95 FIP over 191.1 innings in 2018. Using his complete season, however, isn’t an entirely useful barometer for gauging his success on the mound....

What would extensions look like for the Yankees’ impending free agents?
With Didi Gregorius, Aaron Hicks, and Dellin Betances nearing free agency, what would it take to lock them up? Earlier this week, I looked at the Yankees’ candidates for extensions. Sure, it would be great to lock up the likes of Aaron Judge and Luis Severino, but with those players so far from free agency, it’s tough to pin down extensions for them. I focused on the Yankees that were closing in on free agency: Didi Gregorius, Dellin Betances, and Aaron Hicks. I concluded that Hicks looked like the best long-term bet, though the Yankees certainly have the financial wherewithal to keep...

Are the Yankees better off with James Paxton instead of Patrick Corbin?
Did the Yankees choose the right starter? The New York Yankees had one big goal this offseason: to improve the starting rotation. While re-signing J.A. Happ and CC Sabathia were solid moves, they didn’t move the needle or actually improve the rotation that ended the 2018 campaign. The Yankees still had a Sonny Gray-sized hole in the rotation behind Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka. Enter James Paxton. The Yankees acquired the 30-year-old lefty shortly before Thanksgiving for a package of minor leaguers, although GM Brian Cashman indicated that the Yankees could continue adding to the...

Three Yankees prospects with a lot to prove in 2019
These prospects need to have big seasons in 2019. The Yankees’ farm system unsurprisingly dropped in rankings over the last few years, but for all the right reasons. The team graduated a number of top prospects who found success at the big league level. Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Luis Severino, Miguel Andujar, and Gleyber Torres all come to mind. Others were traded away to help the big league team. That’s exactly how a minor league system should operate. Now, after some turnover at the various levels, it makes sense to check in on a few prospects. A number of outlets will soon share...
