Col is rumored to be shopping Marquez. I wonder if Miggy, plus a couple pitching prospects not in the top 5-7 would get it done. He would be more of a 3 with upside than a number 2.
As far as Bauer goes he's the only FA upgrade on the FA market, Tanaka and Morton might be the 2nd/3rd best options after him. I do agree it would be smarter to sign him for just money but unless Hal changes his mind on how much he;s going to spend were not getting both him and DJ.
So far other than Morton the Yanks haven't really been connected to any FA pitchers. They seem far more concerned with upgrading at SS and C. I gotta believe they are waiting to see who becomes available on the trade market to fix the rotation and let the BP market play out and make addition to the BP that way
You're not alone with that thought. Imagine him and Johnny running a team?Quote:

do you really think he ends up taking a 1yr deal. I think he ends up with 4yrs minimum. My guess he sign with the Padres or Mets for something like 4yrs 132m , putting his AAV behind only Cole and Stras for pitchersQuote:

If the Mets choose to go all in this yr, IMO if Hal doesn't spend some money this winter, there is a strong possibility they are better than us next yr.Quote:

Hicks, Sanchez, Garcia for Thor.Quote:

Talkman CF, Frazier LF, Judge RF. Higgy is your C
Cole
Thor
Sevy
Monty
German-Schmidt
^ works 4 me
Thor is coming back from TJ surgery and you want to give away our top pitching prospect for him for a one year rental?Quote:
