Pinstripe Alley open thread - 1/16/21

Good morning everyone. The big day that felt like it might never arrive finally came yesterday, when the Yankees and DJ LeMahieu agreed to terms on a long-term deal. We’ll obviously have more coverage of the move this weekend, along with the other bombshell, that of the Corey Kluber signing. John will show us the community’s reaction to LeMahieu re-signing and Kluber coming aboard, Andrés looks at how the LeMahieu deal represented a compromise by both parties, and Dan analyzes yesterday’s international free agent signings.

Fun Questions

1. Were you surprised to see the Yankees go with Corey Kluber likely at the expense of Masahiro Tanaka?
2. Will you watch any playoff football? Or any opening week NHL action?
