The New York Yankees are rapidly becoming another example of the perils of spending money poorly.
The 2023 Major League Baseball season has been rife with expensive disappointments. Out west, the San Diego Padres have stumbled to a 44-48 start, despite investing heavily with free agents and trades.
In their own city, the New York Mets, with baseball’s highest payroll, have just a 13% chance of making the postseason.

So, good that it sounds like it’s probably just lip service, but he still said it.
The teammate in question is Panthers running back Miles Sanders. He said that his new quarterback is a future hall of fame.
Sanders was pumping Dalton’s tires after the two did some work together during OTAs.
“These guys work, and that’s the main thing I’ve noticed in OTAs,” Sanders told WFNZ radio show Mac and Bone.
