Last offseason http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/andy-levitre-jersey , the assumption was the Yankees were holding back on spending in order to accomplish two goals: one, to stay under the luxury tax for the first time in the history of said tax in order to reset the penalties, and two, to keep room on the payroll for adding a top-tier free agent like Bryce Harper or Manny Machado before the 2019 season. New York accomplished that first goal, as it looks like just the Red Sox and Nationals will end up paying the luxury tax in 2018. As for the second, well, the Yankees have been pretending they won’t make big free agency moves this winter, except, maybe they aren’t pretending after all. General manager Brian Cashman prefers the Yankees stay under the luxury tax threshold again, so as “to not line the pockets of opponents to use that (revenue) against us.”That is some incredible bullshit Authentic Alex Mack Jersey , to be frank. The luxury tax penalties aren’t that severe, not by a long shot: the Red Sox crossed not just the first, but also the second luxury tax threshold in 2018 by spending $238.4 million, meaning they have another round of taxing on top of them, which will result in a penalty of ... $11.3 million. That money will go into the central fund to be distributed to the small-market clubs (MLB is phasing out the 15 largest markets from collecting revenue-sharing funds), which means the Red Sox are mostly financing like, an extra September call-up for teams in 2019.The Yankees have paid out $341 million in luxury tax penalties in the previous 15 years in which they’ve exceeded the threshold, but even dividing that up over 15 years and splitting it among the rest of the teams doesn’t mean New York is, say, financing their rivals’ success. As a whole http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/matt-bryant-jersey , sure, the Yankees are taking part in a process that helps smaller market teams make up for revenue disparities when you’re talking about all of the money going from one place to another through the central fund and revenue-sharing, but the Yankees alone aren’t financing it all. Plus, with the way revenue-sharing works in the first place, 31 percent of a team’s net revenue goes into the central fund, anyway, so if the Yankees aren’t spending profits on Bryce Harper or Manny Machado, they’re just going to end up giving part of that money back to the league, anyway, and then the Royals can use it to help pay Alcides Escobar to be a terrible shortstop or whatever.The Yankees seem to be putting a lot of effort into making their fans not feel like Harper or Machado will be in pinstripes in 2019 and beyond Womens Logan Paulsen Jersey , and while it could certainly still be a negotiating tactic and posturing to let Harper and Machado know that New York is perfectly happy to enter 2019 without them, it might also be Cashman and the Steinbrenners letting fans know that, just because they lost in the American League Division Series to their rivals doesn’t mean they’re going to go all The Boss on the rest of the league and start adding payroll on top of payroll. Not when there are some profits to be had by working on the margins and staying under the luxury tax threshold again.Obviously the Yankees should be in on players like Harper and Machado, but it’s also the bad teams that should be chasing the two best free agents out there. Let Grant Brisbee explain.The Nationals offered Bryce Harper a record-setting contract that he turned down. Whitney McIntosh sorted out what Washington’s motivations were.Here’s what the Farhan Zaidi hiring means for the Giants.The Mariners and Rays are set to make a trade, with Mike Zunino and Guillermo Heredia heading to the Rays in order to bring Mallex Smith back to Seattle.That’s not the only Rays’ trade news, as Blake Snell just might be untouchable this offseason.A significant part of the Red Sox success in 2018 can be attributed to the long-awaited breakout of shortstop Xander Bogaerts.Brian Cashman usually isn’t so open with his plans, but yet, there he is explaining his Sonny Gray ideas.It’s not expected that Michael Brantley will re-sign with Cleveland.Mike Fast, former Baseball Prospectus writer and key piece of the analytics side of the Astros’ front office, has now joined the Braves as a special assistant to the GM.Falcons vs Panthers: Who was the defensive player of the game? Even though the Falcons defense did not have a great game against the Panthers Womens Terrell McClain Jersey , there were still some bright spots in the Falcons 31-24 win over the Panthers. Here are our potential picks for defensive player of the game. Let us know yours!Ricardo AllenHis interception in the fourth quarter could very well be the difference in this game being a win and going to overtime. Apart from that play, the veteran safety had to manage a defense missing two high quality starters and missing a young new starter who was ejected from the game early. He’s a steadying presence on the field that does everything that’s asked of him.Grady JarrettIn a week where the Falcons pass rush sadly did not take advantage of a weak offensive line, Jarrett just continued to do what he’s been doing. He consistently disrupted the pocket and should have gotten several sacks were it not for some questionable no-calls by the refs. He’s playing his way to a very nice extension in the near future.Robert AlfordHe’s often hated on by Falcons fans, but his coverage this year has been outstanding. He had a few pass break ups in this game that helped keep the Panthers offense from ripping off some huge plays. If this Falcons defense is going to be even half-way decent, he needs to continue to play this way.Brian PoolePoole is unarguably one of the best tacklers on the team and excels when the defense is in zone. His early sack of Cam Newton is no surprise for those who have watched Poole. He may not be our best cover corner, but he brings so much more to the table. He’s a quality player and demonstrated as much today.Let us know who gets your vote by participating in our poll below.
