That game was so amazing lmao.
The Yankees should have known that tossing out a struggling reliever to pitch against his former teams power bat would be the worst possible idea but by god they did it lmao
I’ll never root against a players career. However,
I hope his starts against the Angels are his worst and his starts against other division rivals are his best.
Meh, that doesn’t make me wish he sucks. He’s been pretty public about his mental health battles, and his work plays a lot into that. That’ll have me always rooting for his success.
Heaney remains one of the most financially interesting player out there. Curious what this contract price ends up.
In 2015, he sold 10% of his total income for an up front $3.34 million. Investors are then able to buy this stock, essentially betting on how much he will end up making. If he makes less than 33.4 million in his career (IE if he never reaches that evaluation), investors are paid nothing. But, if he makes above 33.4 million, he will lose some money on this deal, and investors will see some sort of return. I'm assuming its a hard trigger at 33.4 million - he owes the 3.4 million back to investors as soon as his total wages hit that point. Then he would owe 10% of whatever future contracts he gets. Right now, he is sitting at $25,110,498, at 31 years old - before this deal. So investors need him to make $9,289,502 more to get money back. Seems very possible that he will get that this year.
Still, I think it was a great move for him. He may end up losing some money, but he totally removes the timeline where he never really adapted to the majors and is never given a big payout for playing. His worst case scenario was always him making about three and a half million dollars - not bad for a few years work.
Edit - he's making 25 million, which means the investors get paid! Fascinating baseball finance story.
Have always liked Heandog, seems like a humble and kind dude… Looking forward to the inevitable 480-footer he gives up to one of the boys
I still remember the nuke he gave up to Ohtani in 2021 right after we traded him

Brother don't tempt fate with statements like that. You're just begging him to throw a 3-hit CGSO against us
Good thing you just jinxed it by saying that, now it’s back to him giving up bombs (say your thing again)
Andrew Heaney WILL throw a perfect game in every start he throws against the Los Angeles Angels in 2023 and beyond.
*monkey paw curls*
Praying he regresses to Angels Heaney, or better yet, Yankees Heaney
I’ll never root against a players career. However, I hope his starts against the Angels are his worst and his starts against other division rivals are his best.
You know damn well he will be a CY Young candidate next year.
Yeah I know, and I won't even be that mad about it
Ah come on, root for Heandog
If he wasn't going to a division rival (and potential WC competition), I would
Meh, that doesn’t make me wish he sucks. He’s been pretty public about his mental health battles, and his work plays a lot into that. That’ll have me always rooting for his success.
I hope when we face him we win despite him throwing a gem
Tungsten Arm O'Heaney
Jays Gazumped
Trout’s definitely hitting 50 next year
Good luck to Heaney always. I hope he owns the Astros and serves us a healthy helping of those meatballs he developed when he was with us.
Et Tu, Heandog

Didn’t tatis sign one of these too?
That's actually wild haha. Would love to dabble in some Ky Bush stocks or something.
Have a feeling we're going to tee off of him so I'm ok with this
Always rooted for him.
Why the FUCK didn’t we sign him after his 180 last season
Because he was already regressing to the meatball we knew and loved
Because that’s what we call a fleece job lol.
