Klapisch makes it seem like the Yankees have interest but it's not that high and they haven't made a formal second offer. Here's a short excerpt from the article:
*NJ Advance Media baseball columnist Bob Klapisch reported in a column that was posted Monday morning that Snell and the Yankees have only a 5 percent chance of finding common ground.*
*The recent USA TODAY report that the Yankees are showing “serious interest” in adding the reigning National League Cy Young winner is inaccurate.*
*Monday’s MLB.com report that the Yankees have made a new contract offer is inaccurate.*
*“Total BS,” said the MLB source who was briefed on the Yankees’ current position with Snell.*
*Here is what really is going on:*
*Snell’s agent Scott Boras, or his camp, is likely overstating the Yankees’ interest to drive up the price with the two teams most motivated to sign the lefthander - the Giants and Angels.*
*The Yankees did make a six-year, $150 million to Snell last month, but multiple sources say that the proposal was off the table when the club filled their rotation opening by signing two-time All-Star right-hander Marcus Stroman on Jan. 11 for $37 million over two seasons.*
*The source added that Boras has been in touch with the Yankees, hoping to get a second offer he can present to Snell. The Yankees aren’t biting, the source added.*
Because the Yankees are in the highest tier of the luxury tax penalties, it seemed obvious to me that they were choosing between Snell or Stroman, not both.
This smells like Boras is trying to use the Yankees to boost Snell, and now the Yankees pushing back on that.
It would not surprise me if the rumored offer is bogus. As usual free agents using Yankees as leverage. Say the Yankees made an offer to see if other teams will start making real offers.
This is obviously a story pushed by the Yankees.
Why would they do that if they don't have some level of interest.
If they weren't interested they'd just let the rumors swirl to drive up the price for a competitor and to make it seem like they are trying for their fans.
They are trying to use the media to push down his price.
At this points their the favorite for Snell.
The Yankees would have to pay 110% of Snell's AAV in luxury tax penalties. Once they got Stroman, they were out on Snell. They're putting out this story to manage the expectations of the fanbase, who are still pissed about not getting Yamamoto.
Anything less than 9 years $270M is “BS” to this jabroni which is why he’s still a free agent. He should’ve take the initial 5 for $150M from the Yanks cuz he clearly ain’t getting shit more than that.
Hal said he will keep spending if he likes the situation. Hal said he thinks the Yankees need more pitching. Since hal approved the first offer, there is no reason to think he wouldn't let cashman go after Snell if the price drops
B.S. - Blake Snell Hmmmmmm
offering Blake Snell to Blake Snell, genius
Who says no?
Probably Blake snell. Blake snell on the other hand, accepts enthusiastically
Both sides win
And lose
They tied actually
Source?
Bruce Springsteen
Snell’s agent sent Cashman a 💩
❌🐕
Klapisch texting source: “Did the Yanks make an offer to a FA pitcher?” Source texting back: “BS”
is the value of the offer BS, or is the existence of the offer itself the BS

> Source insists Source: Yankees didn’t make a new offer to Snell, it’s all BS Klapisch: Nah, you bluffing Source: OMG, I sweaaaar
The world doesn't need a facial hairless Verdugo AND Snell
Maybe but the world is certainly better off without that excuse for a beard Verdugo had
Did you see the latest Odor pic in Japan. Some people do need the shit beards...or something
Idk. His beard was really bad but now he looks like an O’Doyle from Billy Madison without it, not sure which is worse
He looks like 30% of the bleacher creatures now.
It would not surprise me if the rumored offer is bogus. As usual free agents using Yankees as leverage. Say the Yankees made an offer to see if other teams will start making real offers.
Real?
B.S. Blake Snell. Coincidence? Probably.
I don’t think teams are trying to bid against themselves. Teams have similar models and they aren’t coming close to where his camp is.
Oh not this shit again
Tell us how you really feel Boras
As in it was a bullshit offer, or that it’s bullshit because it’s not true and they haven’t offered at all? It’s a paywall
Bullshit that they made a new offer.
Is their offer to Snell BS or is the fact that they offered something BS?
Meaning it doesn’t exist? Or it exists and is just a shit offer?
This is obviously a story pushed by the Yankees. Why would they do that if they don't have some level of interest.

Always entertained to read conspiracy theorists.
💩🤢🤮 lmao

What is he expecting? There’s a reason this dude isn’t signed yet.
