Proof that Young is on the Move Phillies To Promote Asche; Young On The Move? By Tim Dierkes [July 30, 2013 at 11:18am CST] The latest on Phillies third baseman Michael Young: The Phillies plan on calling up third baseman Cody Asche, tweets Yahoo's Jeff Passan. That points to Young being traded today, he adds. Asche, 23, is hitting .295/.352/.485 in 446 Triple-A plate appearances. Asche "should hit enough to have a regular big league role," wrote Baseball America before the season.

JR20, I apologize for the duplicate post, I was posting a similar thread and then I saw yours, sorry
Joel Sherman says that Yankees have said if Young is traded it is NOT to them. Crap with a capital C....
Why would the Yankees address a long term need like 3B? Arod possibly gone forever and not a prospect in site…what is Cashman doing? Oh yeah, he's busy formulating a list of media jabs for Arod and his attorneys.
I thought I heard somewhere that Young wouldn't play for the Yankees which is why the trade won't happen and not Cashman not doing anything... but I can't find it...
OK, I have mixed feeling on Young, but one thing is certain, first the mix feelings, It seems that Cashman is getting outwork again in our hour of need. But then, we don't have the assets to make a significant trade. What is worse, if the Red Soxs per say would obtain a guy like Stanton. Not saying it's going to happen, but all of these thoughts leads to Cashman's total ineptness and that I am certain of.
Looks like he will only waive no trade clause to go to the Rangers. So there goes one of my three. Triple Crap.
It's hard to view the Yankees as a contender this year, tough division, plus the Arod circus makes the Yankees a team to avoid right now, sad reality.
ok... http://blogs.mcall.com/phillies/ says "Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Young, who has a full no-trade clause, would only approve a trade back to the Rangers." Also, I'm seeing "Young acknowledged Sunday that he will consider waiving his no-trade clause for the right circumstance, the Philadelphia Daily News reports." on http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/player/Michael-Young/85387?q=Michael-Young so I don't know which to believe...
1. After the way he was treated there by management, (the fans loved him) I'd be surprised if he goes back to Texas. 2. players have said before that they wouldn't play for the Yanx and changed their minds. 3. maybe the Yanx are being coy and not wanting to tip their hand too quickly and let their true intentions known. (they've done this before and swooped in at the last minute)
I'm not gonna sweat Young, he's just not a difference maker, sure NY can use him, they can use anybody, but again, Young is not a player to lose sleep over, if he agrees to come to NY and the Phillies will take a low prospect to save some money fine, we're happy to have a player who can hit some and pay the man for two months, otherwise no big deal.
...Young would be a huge upgrade over what the Yanx have and a huge increase over the production they've gotten from 3B this year. ...and he would be here for more than 2 months.
