He'll be 37 in Nov., he can still pitch. His age is a concern. Bauer, Stroman, Tanaka, Minor, Ray, Odorizzi, Quintana and Paxton also need to considered. Morton may provide the most bang for the buck, but age is a concern imo.
Makes sense.Quote:

No way the Yankees do that deal!Quote:

I fully agree about the finances. If they hope to keep Judge, Torres, Frazier and Urshela they are going way past the luxury so why not just go big, no, go yuge. Break the bank and and live with it.
Cubs cut Lester and it sounds like it's no guarantee they pick up Rizzos big option. If they do pick up Rizzos option they are expected to shop him
Let's hope that Hal has someone around him to make sure he realizes what he is passing up if they choose not to shop in this market.
We've only seen options not be picked up so far, I guarantee the list of non tendered players is going to surprise people
Obviously not everyone is going to be cheap but its going to be in those 2nd and 3rd tier players that are going to be looking for very short term deals, that a team could really get some deals on. I think some des are going to be just to good to pass on, especially with BP arms.
If no team was interested in a top 3-5 AL reliever for a lottery pick and 10m. If this were a normal yr literally every team but the Rays would have tried to get him. So what do guys like Hand, Yates, Hendricks, Rosenthal and other guys of that tier will get this yr, 1yr 4-7 m max. For a team like us who desperately needs to add quality arms to the pen, adding a couple of those guys might be to difficult to pass on IMO.
If the rest of the market follows the reliever it could be very interesting to see who ends up where
They should spend to whatever tax threshold that starts costing them draft picks and IFA .money.
Day, at bargain prices the Yanks should take a VERY serious look at Hand and Lindor. At the right price he is no longer a luxury, but an affordable "makes sense" option.
Where in that sentence do I suggest he is a DH? I literally say that his defensive metrics grade out pretty well in LF. That means he can play LF just fine...Quote:

There is no valid reason to take the starting job away from Frazier especially to a 34 year old player who is likely past his prime .Quote:

1. Chris Archer
2. Cole Hamels
3. Andrelton Simmons
4. James Paxton
5. Kirby Yates

On this day in 2001, Derek Jeter became "Mr. November" with a 10th-inning walk-off HR in Game 4 of the World Series.
My whole point is that Brantley WILL NOT sign here as the 4th OFer. That is why you give him the starting job. If you want to focus on defense then Brantley is an upgrade over Frazier in LF. If you want to focus on defense then I guess you are on board with Gardner coming back?Quote:

I just don’t see the reason to take the starting job away from a kid that has worked so hard for it . I am sure there are cheaper options out there for A 4th outfielder spot . And at 34 years old unless he is looking for a one year deal , there won’t be a lot if teams willing to sign a 34 year old player as a everyday outfielderQuote:

Im on the fire Cashman train with you. After I saw his end of season presser and heard him say something to the effect of " we will get together with everyone and work our process that we;ve had in place for the past ten year yadda yadda " I thought, the process that has netted you a WS 11 years ago, that process? Come on, its time to go Cash. Yeah, he puts together a competitive team year in a year out but he never makes that one trade or two that puts the team over the top cuz the deal might favor the other team. The idea of losing the battle but winning the war must be a foreign concept.Quote:

Its no longer put the most talent on the field, its a game of making the parts fit well, which, hes done a very poor job of.
Yeah, not making a trade at this years deadline should get him fired by itself.Quote:

how many of those guys would you want to sign? Yates at the right price and maybe Paxton on the right kinda deal but the other 3 i'm not sure i'd touch. Archer has been a complete disaster since he left the Rays. I'd take a chance on him as a reliever or sign him to an MILB deal but i'd never want to count on him to be a part of the rotationQuote:

I want no part of any. Just surprised by the list.Quote:

Sounds like the Mets are going to offer Stroman the QO, so we can scratch him off the possible's list. No way are we going to pay more than 18m and give the Mets a draft pick
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/...s-stroman.html
You really think he was an option? They could've traded for him and didn't. He's more of a borderline 2, or 3 even, on a contender which is fine but not at the 15+ he will get.
Again, they need a Bauer type at 2 and not a good but not great pitcher. Would be great if Sevy can come back, even at 75%, and give the team a 1 2 3 that actually gives them a real chance.
I want nothing to do with him but others had been talking about him as an option.Quote:
Originally Posted by NYY09

nothing the yanks will do off season will help the yanks to win the world series next year or even get to the world series...Quote:
