Some say the New York Yankees may lose Masahiro Tanaka to the Mets
The New York Yankees this offseason did not offer pitcher Masahiro Tanaka a qualifying offer, along with James Paxton and J.A. Happ. Tanaka is the only one of the three that many believe the Yankees might want to negotiate with to have him return to the Stadium. This past postseason Tanaka did not pitch well in the postseason but still was a durable pitcher during the shortened regular season.
Tanaka in the last year of his seven-year contract with the Yankees earned $23 million.
