Sorry to break up this lovely verbal dance.............let’s wish Gardner, Headley, Castro, CC, Betances, Robertson & T Frazier pleasant adios with their new ballclubs.
I'd like to see the Yanx pay Dingleberry to sit at home, or send him down; wake his ass up if that's possible....?
Cardinals have emerged as the “prime player” in landing Giancarlo Stanton in trade with Miami Marlins. In the hunt with the ‘Stanton Sweepstakes’ are the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies as per John Heyman.
Yanx talk with Marlin's over Stanton. No word of those talks, other than this: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/11/16/new-york-yankees-giancarlo-stanton-trade-mlb/ According to WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman, the Marlins and Yankees had a brief discussion about Stanton during the general manager meetings in Orlando, Florida. Now, just how serious the Yankees are about potentially acquiring the best power hitter in the game, a guy coming off a MVP 59-home run season Heyman characterized the discussion between Marlins GM Michael Hill and the Yankees’ Brian Cashman as nothing more than Miami asking if New York has interest in Stanton and the Yankees’ responding that they would listen to the Marlins’ proposal. So, it’s safe to say discussions between the sides are in the very early stages. The question is, does adding Stanton make sense for the Yankees? The answer is complicated. The Yankees have made it no secret they would ultimately like to get below the $197 million luxury tax threshold in 2018, something that would seem next to impossible if they took on all of Stanton’s contract. Also, the Yankees don’t exactly need a power-hitting outfielder, given that they have the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, Aaron Judge, who is coming off 52-homer season, plus slugging young catcher Gary Sanchez and a roster that led the majors with 241 homers and was second in runs with 858. Then there’s the Marlins’ asking price, which figures to be astronomical, and the fact that Stanton has a full no-trade clause, meaning he’d have to approve a move to any team. In other words, the Yankees may have interest in Stanton, but the road to him landing in pinstripes is filled with obstacles. That said, though, one can never say never with the Yankees.
