Baseball Letters from the Beyond: From Cy Young to Dennis Santana and Mark Leiter – Cartas desde el Más Allá: De Cy Young para Dennis Santana y Mark Leiter by Juan Vené February 3, 2025 Before I begin my letter, a technical question: Where did the Charros get that horrible costume they put on in center field in the Caribbean and Asian Series? Never before was there anything more abhorrent than that monstrosity. Is that a decent, presentable baseball player? Young friends, Dennis and Mark : You already know that I have been the pitcher with the most victories, 511 in my 22 seasons, 1890-1911, with five teams. And I am also the only pitcher in the Hall of Fame with 300 or more losses, 315. My ERA was 2.63. And I set dozens of records, many of which are still valid, after 114 years. Of course, at this point, I am far from comparing myself to you, who are unaware of what you will be in these avatars, both in victories and in millions of dollars collected. Of course, it would be foolish to insist that my highest fees were $4,000 per season and the lowest, $600. In total, I did not even collect 200 thousand dollars in the 22 years. But I felt wealthy, and very happy. I was grateful to be paid for doing what I liked so much, throwing balls to home plate. I am writing you today, because I learned, since in this More Here which you down there call The Beyond , everything is known, and also that you two lost the arbitrations. Do me a favor! You, Mark, will receive this year, from the Pirates, two million 50 thousand dollars, instead of the two million 500 thousand that you were hoping for. And you, Dennis, 1.4 million from the Yankees and not the 2.1 million you dreamed of. You, defeated in arbitration, are multimillionaires, you are winners of millions of dollars. You will not have enough time to squander so much money. In addition, apart from the bonuses, Mark, who will turn 34 on March 13, has received 2.899 million dollars as fees, and his lifetime record is 10-22, 4.56, in five seasons. Dennis, 28 years old, a native of San Pedro de Macorís, has been in the Major Leagues for seven years, with a record of 11-15, 4.76 and has already collected 3.8 million dollars. You’re doing well, boys, you’re doing well! We’ve changed. Now it is being said: Juan Soto signed for $840 million for 15 years with the Mets, including a $75 million bonus. But what is his batting average, and how many home runs has he hit? Before, Babe Ruth’s power was touted and almost no one knew that his best salary was $80,000 per season. Anyway, I love you all very much… Cy.

Nunca antes hubo nada más aborrecible que ese esperpento. Es eso un pelotero decente, presentable? Jóvenes amigos, Dennis y Mark : Ya saben que he sido el pitcher con más victorias, 511 en mis 22 temporadas, 1890-1911, con cinco equipos. Y también soy el único pitcher en El Hall de la Fama con 300 o más derrotas, 315. Mi efectividad fue de 2.63. Y dejé docenas de récords, muchos de los cuales siguen vigentes, después de 114 años. Lógicamente, a estas alturas, estoy lejos de compararme con ustedes, de quienes se ignora lo que serán en estos avatares, tanto en victorias como en millones de dólares cobrados. Por supuesto, sería tonto insistir en que mis mayores honorarios fueron 4,000 dólares por temporada y los menores, $600. En total, no llegué cobrar ni 200 mil dólares en los 22 años. Pero me sentía adinerado, y muy feliz. Agradecía que me pagaran por hacer lo que tanto me gustaba, tirar pelotas para home. Les escribo hoy, porque supe, ya que en este Más Acá , que ustedes llaman Más Allá, se sabe todo, que perdieron los dos arbitrajes. ¡Hágame usted el favor! Tú, Mark, recibirás este año, de los Piratas, dos millones 50 mil dólares, en vez de los dos millones 500 mil que aspirabas. Y tú, Dennis, un millón 400 mil de los Yankees y no los dos millones 100 mil que soñabas. Ustedes, derrotados en los arbitrajes, son multimillonarios, son triunfadores en millones de dólares. No les va a alcanzar la vida para dilapidar tanto dinero. Además, aparte de los bonos, Mark, quien cumplirá sus 34 el 13 de marzo, ha recibido dos millones 899 mil 500 dólares como honorarios, y su récord de por vida es 10-22, 4.56, en cinco temporadas. Dennis, de 28 años, nativo de San Pedro de Macorís, lleva siete años en Grandes Ligas, con récord de 11-15, 4.76 y ha cobrado ya tres millones 800 mil dólares. ¡Van bien, muchachos, van bien! Hemos cambiado. Ahora se comenta: Juan Soto firmó por $840 millones para 15 años con los Mets, incluso en $75 millones como bono. Pero, ¿cuál es su promedio al bate, y cuántos jonrones ha sacado? Antes se pregonaba el poder de Babe Ruth y casi nadie supo que su mejor sueldo fueron 80 mil dólares por temporada. De todas maneras, los quiero mucho… Cy.
