Hal Steinbrenner Recently Defended Failed $300M Yankees Bid for MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto

“Gotta go pencils down,” Steinbrenner said of the Yankees’ 2024 chase for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He “probably went higher than some of our baseball people,” but believed $300 million was “a very good offer” as bidding escalated. Asked about $325 million: “I felt the 300 was a very, very good offer.” The Dodgers landed Yamamoto on a $325 million deal.
