$13 million for one of the worst players in baseball.
I can't say Passan is wrong, exactly: "... the free agent market has set the price of veteran starting pitchers at $10 million-plus a year -- and Severino's past success bought him slightly more ..."
... but I'd take a 30% raise, and I wouldn't consider it "slightly more"; and
... where is the demand for Luis Severino that would command a premium, however slight?
“When I was with the Orioles, you were intimidated to play them,” Britton told Ghroli. “They had so much talent. The way they carried themselves, you didn’t want to go to New York because they were so imposing, and I feel like we lost a little of that when I was there."
The Yankees were less imposing once they signed me.
Britton isn't incorrect. It's an obvious observation. He also isn't the proper messenger.
Also got a gold glove. The defensive metrics seem to back it up. I didn't really notice anything extraordinary defensively. I also don't keep track of the shortstops throughout the AL, so what do I know?
An unlikable player, late night when no one was watching, in a forgettable season vs. Oakland.
