Maybe when it’s not the Yankees, people will be more pissed off.
From another site-
Just to put the craziness of these megadeals in context, here is a complete list of position players age 34 and above to post 2.5+ fWAR last year (where 2.5 fWAR means "a little above-average"):
- Paul Goldschmidt.
- Jose Abreu.
That's it.
There were 14 pitchers with 2.5+ fWAR last year at age 32 or higher, out of 54 total.That means that about 75% of the pitchers to exceed 2.5 fWAR were 31 or younger.
There were 10 position players with 2.5 fWAR at age 32 or higher, out of 89 total. The means almost 90% of the players to exceed that threshold were 31 or younger.
