So far the difference to this team: As it stands today, I can't imagine them not signing Cano... and they are still not done I feel. OF Gardner (Trade Potential) Ellsbury Sorianno Ichiro Wells (Trade Potential or release if spot is needed) C McCann Cervelli Romine (Trade Potential) Murphy Sanchez (Trade Potential) IF Tex Johnson Ryan Jeter Nunez (Trade Potential) Pieces to be added Cano Reynolds 550 inning Reliever 3B And one batting Tee, since we have no pitchers and it will be durable and give us innings, lol. P CC (Trade Potential) Kuroda ( ????) Nova Nuno (Ifs) Phelps (typical #5 starter) Pineda (IFs)
They're obviously far from done, the Yankees are on a mission, a big trade is probably coming for pitching, the farm may be getting hit hard for whatever they have at the upper levels. And trade CC? that's not happening, they won't move him when his stock is down and I doubt they even want to move him.
