You know, I thought they might non-tender him too just because they seem much more committed to keeping payroll down. I think Didi's scheduled to make $12M. That's a big price for a half season. Maybe the thought is some back scratching - the Yanks pay him full arb freight for a half season and he returns the favor when he's a free agent (?). Complete speculation on my part, but maybe that's the thought. He's been a big part of the rebuild/reshuffle (whatever they call it) so I think the preference is to extend him after the season.

These are not George "Turtlenecks" Steinbrenner's Yankees any more. Those Yankees would have surely spent $100M by this point in the offseason for 1 extra 2019 season win. The Yankees were a 100 win team last year. In other words, they were a very good ball club in a "normal year". But of course that gets completely overshadowed when the Red Sox have one of the best seasons in the history of baseball. I think the Sox are a 100 win team in 2019 and very much the best team in the AL, but perhaps not a 108 win team.
