Napoli to Sox.
Arod toast.
Sox still talking to Swisher and Ross. The Napoli signing likely means they arent pursuing LaRoche.
lets trade for chase headly and michael morse and call it a day we could pick up the rest of the scraps in january this team needs a few younger guys that can actually and that can stick around for a while
When was the last time the Yankees traded for a stud in his prime?
The yankees are always getting players that have 1 season left of maybe prime ball and then they freakin decline......
I would trade anyone in our farm for a 23-27 year old STUD!
And also note - anyone in the 23-27 year old group likely is very affordable (400k - 2/3 mm a year only!)
Our farm has shown that its overrated, and half get hurt.
The Padres would be smart to sell high on Headley. Im sure they would get a nice return. Not sure how we would match up with them in a trade. Yes please on Morse, he's a beast.Quote:

I agree not lining up, and the big competitors (angels, red sox, tigers, Phillies, etc) aren't going to trade them PERIOD.Quote:

I mean, is Napoli that much better than Martin?
He will wreck them at 1b.
3/39???
Yuck.
morse weak? take a look at his numbers his age and how much he makes smart move for now and the future
they dont trade them until they are clsoer to free agency, which is the back end of your time frame at best. those kind of palyers dont just grow on trees. and what they would want back are studs closer to the begining part of your time frame, which kind of defeats the pruspose anywayQuote:

Should be a fun week of trades and signings but I don't expect much if anything from the Yanks.
And any team that signs Josh Hamilton to a longterm deal is making a huge mistake.
What does that even mean?Quote:
