there really aren't too many good players hitting FA next year, but 2015 has a ton, there is Felix, Kershaw and Verlander all on the market, plus a bunch of good hitters, maybe the yankees should go on a two year hiatus then go all in.

Felix Kershaw and Verlander will never hit the open market.

Teams these days are locking up their good players, especially young ones. That is why developing a talented farm system is much more important than it was 10 years ago...at least for the Yankees.

Unless the good, young players have an agent named Scott Boras. (There's always exceptions )

I'm gonna predict the yanks will sign Haren to an inflated one year deal after he can't get the big deal he wants.

[TrueYankee]

I predict Yankees to trade Hughes.


...just trade him already.

Oh. Well that's cause he stinks. Trade him!

[Rylinkus]

Do we actually think we can get something for Hughes?

[TrueYankee]

Yes. Large ballpark, NL team, would love to have Hughes.

[LeoYankee]

I think KC loves him. Send over one of those nice bullpen fireballers!

[infernoscurse]

he will hit FA next year and is a 3rd starter most you get for him is a utility player from NL small payroll team

Which is fine. We have a bunch of pitching depth. We should be looking to trade Hughes....
