Gotta believe that resigning Moreland is just a backup/bench player plan in case they can't sign the big bat that they really need. Moreland was average for Boston (99 OPS+) last year so maybe Boston is simply hoping that he'll somehow have a career year in 2018. But signing Moreland to only a 1 year/$5.5 Mil contract doesn't exactly show a lot of confidence.
...can't imagine why the Yanx would even consider Longoria. He's simply nowhere the player he was during his earlier years and his contract is backend loaded and pays him till 2023 at which he'll be 37 years old.
That’s probably Longoria’s agent spreading the rumors. LOL they all want to be somewhere in this lineup now
Pirates asked for Clint Frazier, Chance Adams, and Miguel Andujar for Josh Harrison and Gerrit Cole. Cashman still not biting he's waiting for the price to drop as per Bronx Bombers Beat.
...Harrison is a pretty good player who can play multiple positions but probably not an everyday player...and I'm still a little concerned about Cole declining numbers, not to mention that generally speaking, pitchers from the NL don't always translate well to the AL.
...I have to admit that there's a chance that Cashman is using this particular rumor as a "red herring" in order to mask his real intentions which might be focussed on a completely different player/deal.
Can't see moustakas accepting a 1 yr deal. He'll get a multi deal from some club eventually. I think andujar is a lot closer than people think to being ready
Mind Games manipulater goes to NY Yankees’ chief GM, Brian ‘Bonaparte’ Cashman....................LOL
Cash man would be crazy to bite on this. Cole is a liability. Frazier, Adams, & Andujar is a whole lotta future for Harrison
Saw this projected lineup in an article by Buster Olney on how the Bronx would be a perfect fit for the Yanx; http://www.espn.com/blog/buster-oln...moustakas-would-be-a-perfect-fit-in-the-bronx LF Brett Gardner RF Aaron Judge DH Giancarlo Stanton SS Didi Gregorius C Gary Sanchez 3B Moustakas CF Aaron Hicks 1B Greg Bird 2B Gleyber Torres Holy crap, ^^^ that line up seems almost unfair to opposing pitchers. But although they'd likely hit a lot of HRs, I also see a ton of strikeouts.
