Don't be an intentional idiot:
"The Yankees need [Tanaka] to be a star, or Michael Pineda to be a star,
because there isn’t one among their position players, unless you think
Jacoby Ellsbury, paid like a baseball star, is going to stay healthy all
year and put up numbers the way he did in his best seasons with the Red
Sox; going to look like more than a slightly better version of Brett
Gardner, who isn’t making nearly as much money as Ellsbury is."
I believe that unreasonably long sentence was intended as an insult to Jacoby Ellsbury. It is actually a compliment to Brett Gardner.
Who cares if Ellsbury makes a lot of money?
That's how free agency works.
It's the same reason Bartolo Colon will make 18x what Matt Harvey makes this season.
That means the Mets think Bartolo Colon is 18x better than Matt Harvey! What else could it possibly mean?
