    There are now 66 days remaining from this first day of winter trades to the first Spring Training Report Date. The Yankee "Brass" has loads of money in conjunction with little Savvy. as Cage posted prior the big topic seems to be huge topic of the trade meetings, Doesn't show much for the MLB Brass either. like others on the board have posted I'd hope that the Yankees woulf avid the two main Cash Cows out there and look at the quality Vets out there like that guy from Colorado DJ last name I forgot how to spell, Marwin, and former Pirate J Hey. Be nice to get another pitcher as well. Gonna be a lot of stuff happening to lets hope some IQ will factor in.

    I just don't get why t/Yanx gave CC another yr; unless they believe SP's should only throw 4 innings. Cc's 5th inning meltdowns have grown old.

    Trading Dingleberry has got 2b a top priority....
    The Bullpen is in shambles less the Free Agent Yanx i.e. D-Rob, Britton (who should not be resigned imo [Britton]).

    D-Rob's gonna be pricey, probably too much so...

    I'd like 2C A.Miller in Pinstripes...

    Seems like most Free Agents are not even close to their pricetag. Few can have tremendous impacts...

    Gi e me Votto and Scooter Gennett for Bird and GT...

    Arrenado and Trevor Story for Andujar and DD....
    Just spitballin'...

    Unload Gian-K-Arlo and bring home Trout...

    Looks like Cleveland reversed its call by giving Carrasco a contract extension. I'd guess they'll keep Kluber as well. Don't remember Millers status but he needs a serious rebound from last year. I'd guess CC grabbed Cashman, sand threatened to mash his potato if not given another year. Can't figure out how Cashman can't get rid of the high priced duds, everyone else can. Bird like Stanton & Sanchez was not on course last year. Hope they could get something back for him I'm not sold on Voit. Still believe that hit man Andujar can improve at 3rd. Get Nettles in there at ST to show him what a real 3rd baseman is.

    MLB Network opens coverage with the Brain Trust of Amsinger, Reynolds, and Pleasac. Hope some actions get started I can't listen to those clows for a long period of time.

    Not much action today. Did hear Brian Kenney refer to his show as one for thinking fans. No doubt Brian I think MLB should fire you.

    In explaining why the Yankees are not seeking Harper Cashman named off his outfielders as reasons. Included in that list was Ellsbury. I wonder when Cashman is going to deem Ellsbury as a lost cause and fail to bring up his name unless he's contacted by another team for a salary dump or trade. Saw a Yankee fan in the Vegas crowd yesterday wearing a shirt that said Machadno.

    Saw Cages Post on this event on anther thread followed by a USA Today 3 way involving Syndergaard to the Yankees, Realmuto to the Mets, and Andujar to the Marlins. I once heard Cashman say he wouldn't trade Andujar because he "has to walk around this town" I don't know how others feel but I view Andujar as one for the future. Problem is Cashmans futures don't go beyond the end of his nose.

    Indeed... ^^^^

    Andujar is a keeper. It's hard to believe Trashman actually has a conscience....

    I'm not sure Trashman can hang with the Big Boys, and wouldn't be surprised to see Happ in Pinstripes; Philadelphia Red Pinstripes i.e....

    An old buddy of mine used to say "if you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch" But credit to old Brian he has sworn that Sanchez is the Yankee Catcher moving forward.

    With all of the sudden interest in Happ, he was probably guaranteed a 3 year deal some where. Heard him say after coming to the Yanks that he enjoyed the Bronx.
