I think we did one year because I was looking after the spreadsheet and didn't realize we weren't supposed to. I prefer the 1st hour window approach though.
He actually does have reason to be desperate, AND for that target to be Happ if none of the other potential starters end up on the market. One of Boston or the Yankees are going to be playing a one-and-done playoff game. Playoff shares for the teams, especially the deeper you go, are worth quite a bit - and that's not including whatever profit YES and other ballpark stuff not included in the revenue sharing generates from the games.
I kinda think I'd be inclined to say pass. I'd expect someone would cough up something more enticing. Bote would be an interesting return for Estrada perhaps, but not so much for Happ imo.
That's with the caveat that I'm not sure who Zagurski is.
So what happens with Boxy? Unless he PM'd you guys, he has 13 prospects and what, forfeits the #1, 6, 7, 9 plus other picks on top of that? That doesn't seem good for the league.
Lol, the Japanese audio of that Ohtani home run made it sound like a routine fly ball or something. I don't think the pitch or volume of their voices changed at all (no idea what they said).
