I have a feeling Cashman will trade for a RFer to replace Swisher...if that falls thru Ichiro will be the fall back......otherwise why make Ichiro wait?
Nick
That doesn't mean that he is necessarily the best fit for the team. Forget his "all smiles" approach to the game (which was cute in 2009 and not in 2012) and that he has worn out his welcome. The organization should NOT tender him a long term contract, just because he is the best available this year. This year's crop stinks that doesn't mean next year might not have something better (Beltran, Cruz, Choo). And honestly we know what you get from Swisher (and it isn't bad), but we/he stunk in the post season. I would rather see a stop gap RF while our prospects develop or until next years FA crop.
Ichiro seems like the perfect fit here.
I predict Martin, Pettitte, and Ichiro to be re-signed by the end of this week.
If only he didn't choke in the post season...he may have gotten his Jason Werth contract. Oh well.
Really wish the team had any option at C over Martin. C should be the one spot they could save some money and go cheap since the biggest reason they love Martin is defense.
Dude has actually hit in only 3 months out of the 2 years he's been here.

That is ok...Then trade Grandy move Gardy to CF and get a new LFer

I find it hilarious that the experts all say the Evan Longoria extension is beautiful for the Rays yet it goes until 2022....He will be 37..When the Yankees do this, Teix is an example, the same experts crucify Cashman and the Yanks and say it is too long...
Nick
Tex makes 135M over his last 6 years, Longoria makes 100M over his last 6. 35M is a pretty decent sized difference.
Yankees probably should have listened to those experts anyway considering one year into his contract Tex started declining and hasn't stopped since.
I've been sticking up for Swisher for a long time, but it's time for him to go. He's not coming back here, it's obvious that the Yankee front office doesn't want him back, either because of his postseason blunders, or because of the 2014 plan, or both. Either way, arguing about it doesn't do anything. He's not coming back.
O-H-I-O!
