Yesterday, I wrote about how the recent spate of superstar contract extensions isn’t good for the Yankees. Since the advent of modern-day free agency nearly a half-century ago, the Yankees have enjoyed the luxury of being able to use their considerable financial clout to grab elite talent on the free agent market whenever they chose to do so. That option is vanishing before our eyes, however, as superstars like Mike Trout, Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt, Chris Sale, Jacob deGrom, and Justin Verlander recently agreed to extensions with their current clubs, rather than test the free agent market.
