$54 mm / 3 yrs
Great signing, Hendriks got paid! Lynn & now Hendriks for the White sox. I'd say that's an A+ off-season so far for them.

DJ LeMahieu back to the Yanks - $90mm, 6 yrs
Corey Kluber - $11mm, 1yr
Risky move on Kluber; that rotation is a huge question mark. I'm sure this means Tanaka is probably gone, sure seems like they are trying to stay under the luxury tax. They are about $5mm under it currently.

WTF? Why did they get such a good deal on DJ LeMahieu? He has been the team MVP for 2 years now and in the conversation for MLB MVP both years.

Definitely cheaper than I expected. He's been great, but he hasn't really been a serious MVP candidate.

I guess he enjoyed the organization enough and thought the extra year of security was worth the low AAV. That's a huge win for the Yanks, no doubt. The original target was $125mm over 5 years, so yeah.
I think DJ was a legitimate MVP guy last year, but although maybe not absolute top tier, he's definitely been a top 15-20ish player over the last two years with the Yankees. He is a bit older at 32 though.

NEW YORK -- When DJ LeMahieu signed with the Yankees before the 2019 season, there was no concern about the bright lights serving as a distraction. From Day 1, the sweet-swinging infielder showed up with his focus set upon collecting hits, snatching grounders and winning ballgames. The Bombers’...

I watch a lot of Yankee games. They're my team. He's been awesome. And by not a serious candidate I just mean he had no chance of actually winning. He finished 3rd but only had 1 first place vote and Abreu finished with ~ 63 percent more voter points. I did expect the contract to be around 20M a year, not 15, and I'm certainly glad he's staying.He was 3rd in MVP voting in 2020 and 4th in 2019. I don't think you guys realize how good he has been.
