The Yankees seem to be more active on the Trade Front for another Starter other than pursuing Sabathia. CC is getting offers elsewhere at this point he will probably not return as per Bronx Bombers Beat.
...CC got a away with it this past season but you just never know if that knee of his will hold up. especially since he'll be a year older.
I think yanks still interested in cole and detroit kid. CC signing just gives them insurance they can't be held over a barrel in the trade
Frazier doesn't figure to get much playing time with yanks not looking to trade gardner and eventually like next year I think either stanton or judge will be the left fielder so I think trading frazier now while his value is high is smart. And in 2019 florial who the yanks and everyone else are gaga over may be ready for the big club. He's starting at double A this year and will probably move to triple A sometime after alstar game. CC is good insurance that yanks don't get held up by detroit and pitt and if they can pick up another young starter will be good insurance as with cc's knees and tanakas ligament hanging by a thread you never know when either or both go down.
...I think the starting rotation is pretty much set...unless of course Cashman can catch another GM asleep at the wheel and get a great deal without giving up too much or if he can package a deal that includes Ellsbury or Gardner.
Hell, I will Pitch for free... A signing bonus of a years supply of Cheetos, would be nice, but I'll still pitch for free. It's awful hard to hit a 40 mile per hour fastball... a 20 mile per hour change up, LOL. As Yogi said, if Joe DiMaggio were alive today he wouldn't even be able to hit 200, after all he'd be over a hundred years old... something to that effect...!
Dodgers get Matt Kemp from Braves for Adrian Gonzalez, Scott Kazmir and Brandon McCarthy as per Ken Rosenthal.
I get it, but I don't agree at all. Imho, I see Trashman trying to force a move, w/Red for Cole. I'm not a Cole fan; and Gardner, sure keep him around at least 'til 019, when he has a 2 Mil buyout. If he's needed for 019, he can be kept. It's only a matter of time before Brett's time is over soon. Take Dinglefkngberry, whom no one want's, and the Bucs sure as hell don't need a rubber armed light hitting CF'r or OF'r period. Trade Dingles, and eat 6 Mil of it thru 2021. 6 measly mil for a non-producer. Let someone anyone bite the rest, if even possible. Addition by subtraction. Yanx need to borrow a page out of the Bums book, (tho' I despise this, but if you got the money to eat 6 mil, it's sure cheaper than the 21 Mil owed him).... Gardner will likely be gone by the time Red is ready. No we won't need a LF'r w/Stanton. A UT OF'r??? Not really necessary either, as Red doesn't have the arm for CF. His bat 'tho could be special??? Let's see him play in AAA before he's dealt, esp for a 5 and dime SP..... jes' saying... let's give all these top end prospects a chance before they're trade bait.... get rid of the excesses, i.e. Ells....
Atlanta, where players go to retire, die....? a lop sided move for a guy the Bums gave up on as a bona-fide prima donna, over paid whiner. Kazmir's washed up, as is Mc2. As for Gonzo, sad to see the Don-ito Beisbol of Chavez Ravine leave his Vet Leader role, his presence irreplaceable.... #23. Kemp coming back to the soap box, ssshhhiiiiiittttt, just when I thought I'd seen it all; nothings sacred in LA....
