Yankees land Max Fried in record deal! MAJOR UPDATE on Roki Sasaki possible destination!
Today’s word of the day is ‘drunken sailors’ as in deja vu as in repeat as in Yankees as in Brian Cashman as in the Yankees as in Max Fried. The Yankees signed Max Fried to the largest deal ever for a left-handed pitcher. A day after saying they wouldn’t spend wildly. They did it. They need pitching. They need hitting. They were going to spend! The Texas Rangers gave Nathan Eovaldi 3 years. Big money. Hmmm. They also made a late night trade for Jake Burger from the Marlins. Roki Sasaki’s agent met with the media yesterday to speak about possible landing spots. The issue Joel Wolfe said Sasaki is having is the Japanese media is being harsh on him. So will Sasaki land somewhere “soft” so the media leaves him be? Review: Conclave. Quick shoutout to Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg. Now onto Jed Hoyer and the Cubs. Seiya Suzuki could be traded. Why? Fans are not happy. Rob Manfred is in Tampa, not Dallas this week. Why? Because the stadium for the Rays needs to be built and there are big problems going on with the county. NPPOD.

Mailbag: What happens to stadium deals if a league folds? What are my biggest MLB draft regrets!?
Welcome in to an NPDS mailbag! Someone asked me if in the future if a league folder or a sport ceased to exist – what would happen to all the stadium deals? Do they just go away? Are they still paid to someone? (8:50) Was there ever a player you wanted to draft but were talked out of it and now regret? Was there ever a player you thought would be a star and wasn’t? (28:30) Someone asked me about sports leagues getting away with being 501c3 tax exempt? Is this still a thing? (38:53) Do you think that lowered attendance at Camden Yards for the playoffs is a sign that fandom is dwindling?
