I was reading the posts thinking, Hmm. Mush has been making sense.

I was scared. It was upsetting.

Oh wow, i didn't even think of it that way. I owe u some gummies and good bourbon for that one, lol

Kinko and Eagles, you have both presented the argument perfectly. We'd be giving up a year of extra value but would be enacting a culture change for our team and would save us from having to sign Benintendi to an inflated contract and could spend that money on pitching.

Obviously, if you could throw JD int the deal or Hicks or half of either contract, it would work. It might also work if the Cubs threw in a reliever or prospect.

how about they just send us Wesneski and Alcantara back, that seems fair..lol

I agree, I'd be thrilled with an trade of Torres for Happ

Especially now Torres is palling around with his arm around Altuve... i think any Yankee that buddies up with that guy is a full on traitor

the Judge market is down to 2 team, Yanks and Giants.. Dodger reportedly made a huge short term offer believed to be in the 4-5yr range with an AAV around 50m, which was immediately turned down.

Dodger are focused on their rotation and SS. They also want Ohtani in the worst way in FA next yr.

Giants offer was big, but not what was expected. Sounds like they want a bidding war between the 2 teams.

Judge apparently is looking to make a decision sooner than later.

Judge and Hal have talked extensively and I'm still told as long as their negotiations don't get out, Judge will still give Hal the last shot.

The Yanks are after Thor. He works in the offseason with Cressey. Cressey is saying that they can rebuild him and he's finally healthy, with improved mechanics. Whats not known is if they want him as a starter or reliever. We've been connected to Thor quite a bit before because of Cressey and we know they have taken chances on his guys before.

LF is going to be very, very interesting to see what happens. Benny has gotten significant interest for a number of teams, with Houston and Minny being the most aggressive. Benny is a mid west guy and it sounds like he would rather play in a smaller market team.

The Yanks really like AZ OFer Jake Mccarthy. The have made what is believed to be a very strong offer for him.

Yoshida is also getting a lot of interest as well. Many believe he's the best contact hitter to come over since Ichiro.

They also have different levels of interest Brantley, Conforto and Bellinger

I'm aroused

Conforto is a guy that would definitely be worth the risk on a one year higher salary deal. Was a really good hitter before last years injury.

Torres + for Mccarthy wouldn't be horrid. Kid makes contact and can run

LHed, good contact, doesn't K a ton, but I don't know much about him defensively.

As far as the offer, I have no idea. With AZ rebuilding, I'm not sure Torres make a ton of sense. I would guess some kind of combo of Wells, Sweeney, Pereira ??

[dayners81]

I could see that. I really don't know much about him outside of his numbers. Hows the defense and where in the lineup does he hit best?

I really want a legit leadoff guy, which is why i lean towards more towards Benny.

We haven't had a legit leadoff type and we need one badly, IMO. Who know when we see DJ and he's really not a leadoff type anymore
