    Betances?
    Miller?
    Chapman?
    Gardner?
    Beltran?

    These are the carrots I would dangle. hopefully for a decent return.

    ...all of the above...in fact, everyone on the roster should be made available for the right return.

    ...but I just don't think Cashman is sharp enough to turn this team around for next year. So even if they replace Cashman and unless they hire a miracle worker to take his place, I think this franchise is still at least 2-3 years away from being a legit contender again.



    ...you can try as much as you want, but you just can't polish a turd.

    I saw it reported that the Cubs might be interested in Miller. I'd certainly do that and Beltran and Chapman are no brainers.

    Honestly of the 3 (Miller, Betances & Chapman) Miller is the one I'd choose to keep. And guys like CC, Headley & A-Rod are just impossible to move. We're stuck with them.

    Gardner, a couple of years ago there were teams interested with the White Sox showing the most. At this time his game is really in the crapper, I think the Yankees are stuck with him. Chapman should have never made it to this team, I'd soon see him and baggage gone for a good return. Beltran, Betances & Miller should reap a good harvest but as pointed out Cashman is the "nut behind the butt" on trades and he still hasn't found his BSZ! Got a ration of shit from a Red Sox Fan yesterday, sad to say I had no comeback to offer, really sucks.

    It would be nice to have a legit qualified GM, and Owner at this time in Yankee History...

    Still enough talent left, to trade for and create a note-able team, but as said prior: Trashman couldn't pull his own head out of his ass to make a worthy trade.....Maybe he's up there trying to polish that turd....

    I also agree, believe, every single player in the system is trade-able at this juncture, any and everyone....but they've got to have a real "plan" to do as much...this "Cracker Jack Plan" (or is it Bazooka) just ain't workin'...As stated in prior posts, I'd also pay some to sit on their asses at home, addition by subtraction. Cut all losses....
