I literally could not believe this was true when I read it. We in no way overpaid for this guy. He signed a huge contract like a few months ago. It included something like a 39 million dollar bonus. That money stays with New York. We get him on a steep discount.
I liked Mitchell but I like the message being sent even more. Sat him then traded him. Harsh but this team needed discipline last year. This is a nice and huge change
Finally this is such an extreme change in the way things have been done around here it cannot be a total coincidence that we have new ownership. A team that goes all in. I do love it.
