| I never thought the Angels were going to sign him. I figured he was either going to re-sign with NY or return to Japan. |

| This reminds me of the end of the 2010 season. One by one free agents were picked off the board by other teams and we ended up with a desperation trade for VW.  |

| But isn't 2010 when we avoided Dunn, Crawford & Werth?

| I don't think Kuroda was every coming here to begin with. Our main target is Greinke or Sanchez. |

| That 38-year old pitcher would've cost us a 1st round draft pick. Never wanted him at that cost. Money is one thing, money and future picks is another. |

Rafael Soriano, Cliff Lee and Adrian Beltre were also free agents. |

It's not even Thanksgiving yet. We lost out on two players we probably weren't going to get anyway. |

Don't worry, trading a "part-time" catcher for a legitimate upper echelon CF for only a four year deal was far wiser than a six year player whose career year was at age 25 before he hit free agency? Right? |

| Haren at 13.5 million for 1 year = Kuroda at 15 million for 1 year.
I would have liked to get Kuroda, but holy sh*t that's too much for him. |

Chris Iannetta has never been a reliable full-time catcher either. The most games he's ever started at Catcher during a regular season was 105. He's only averaged about 80 starts at Catcher per season during his career. |

Moral of the story is ... get used to over paying for FREE AGENTS!

I had the same idea. I knew that the Angels were interested, but nobody the Yankees really want ever leaves. |

Wouldn't be the worse thing in the world if Conger takes a step forward and shares the job with him....lefty/righty combo, keep them both fresh.... |

You can't be serious. You think Haren for 13.5 is the same as Kuroda for 15? Haren has injury concerns and is coming off a bad year. Kuroda has neither of those. |

Kuroda stays in NY
