As of they were the only team that was going to pay him a lot...
If the Cubs signed him it wouldnt be a big deal...but because the yankees did it is...
I'll trust the baseball people in the know who have seen him pitch over the people on this board

Yes, let's run our team based on that logic...
The yankees weren't interested Garza. Tanaka is 25. I know people will bring up the amount of innings

Unfortunately, with the new posting system, Tanaka was going to be paid a lot. The new posting system allowed multiple teams to negotiate a contract with him as long as they were willing to pay the posting fee.
Darvish would have had a similar deal if it was under this system. Instead, Rangers were lucky and had exclusive rights last year.

How is trading Stanton and Eovaldi and getting A-Rod in return rebuilding?
Think before you post.

Can Drew play 3rd?
We need that alot more than a shortstop. Jeter isn't going anywhere and we have Ryan to spell him when need be.

Well, I know a couple of Marlins fans in real life that would never live down that aspect of Jeffrey Loria's ownership of the Marlins.
Here's a basic context of Jeffrey Loria's ownership of the Marlins:
1. Build up a team.
2. Win the World Series.
3. FIRE SALE!!!!!
4. Repeat.
Besides, Giancarlo Stanton and Nathan Eovaldi are young enough to complement the Yankee veterans. The Yankees obviously need a balance of veterans and youngins.

I'm glad the Yankees got Tatanka. All they need now is Bam Bam Bigelow to complete the Million Dollar Team.

The Yankees used to outbid everyone internationally. Well, except the Dodgers and Blue Jays. But for a long time, they had the market cornered.
Now almost every team pumps money into international scouting. The Yankees can only lure these kids with their name. They usually lose out on a lot of Latin and Asian kids.
I would personally rather they spend the millions of player development and scouting, but they fielded so many pathetic lineups last season, you knew a big splash was coming.
I dont know. These guys will be very tough to beat this year, but unless it's the start of a mini dynasty, it will be just another example of the Yankees outspending everyone.

Forget the fact that the Marlins have been completely unwilling to put Stanton on the market and are currently trying to lock him up long term. You are delusional if you think the Yankees have the pieces to acquire Stanton from the Marlins, let alone both Stanton and Eovaldi. Loria's an awful owner but that doesn't mean he's going to do the Yankees a massive favor for ***** and giggles.

1. Please, that's like dismissing that Loria would not pull off another fire sale.
2. How am I delusional, when Loria has a proven track record of fire sales? It's expected of him, actually. He should even consider himself lucky he's getting veteran and playoff experience, should he agree to receive A-Rod. Besides, what's more delusional than you claim about me is the Yankees' denial of needing youth; both Stanton and Eovaldi are much-needed injections of youth that complement the vets in the Yankees.
In both 2012 and 2013 seasons, Pineda was injured or doing rehab on his arm to the point I dismissed him as a project. When the Yankees made it to the playoffs in 2012, was Pineda there? No, he got injured.
If anything, he's valuable trade bait at when healthy at best, a project at worst.

You are not going to get Stanton in return for A-Rod. A-Rod is a distraction who wont even contribute next season. He's massively overpayed and brings a circus to town wherever he goes. Red Sox parted with Adrian Gonzalez in order to ditch a bad Beckett contract and a horrible Carl Crawford contract. You have to add an important pieces along with A-Rod just to get the other team to bite on A-Rod.
Any trade for Stanton would require something like Pineda, Garry Sanchez and another good prospect.

First, they're trying to extend him: https://twitter.com/JimBowdenESPNxm/status/426466457372073987
Second, every time the Marlins have traded away an established talent under Loria they got high level young talent back. They dealt Beckett and Lowell for Hanley Ramirez and Anibal Sanchez. They dealt Ramirez for Eovaldi. They dealt Reyes, Buehrle, and Johnson for a large package of prospects including Hechavarria. If Stanton hits the trade market, teams will be lining up to offer bundles of top prospects. The Yankees have nothing in their farm of the caliber required to win a prospect bidding war for Stanton.
What on Earth is a rebuilding franchise like the Marlins going to do with a broken down, old Alex Rodriguez? They're trying to build around young talent like Stanton and Fernandez, not ship it out for washed up vets.
Nobody's saying it wouldn't be a good deal for the Yankees. Obviously any hypothetical deal for Stanton would be good for them. It's just entirely unrealistic to think they could pull it off. They don't have the pieces. You don't seem to grasp this, but other teams don't exist to gift the Yankees their young star players. The Yankees would get laughed out of the room if they met with the Marlins and made your proposed offer.

As a Yankees fan I'd love Stanton. Unfortunately it'd take an overpayment to get him.
Yankees could put together a prospects package to land Stanton but it'd completely gut the farm. Sanchez, Heathcott, Jose Ramirez, De Paula, Williams etc. Some combination of that with Sanchez being the main piece. Sanchez would be a temptation for Marlins since they are slim pickings behind the plate in their system.

I don't think they could even put a competitive package together. Look at the prospect rankings: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb...ospects-list?ymd=20140123&content_id=66929504
The Yankees have only two in the top 100 and their highest rated is Sanchez at 47. There are so many teams with superior farm systems and Stanton is such a desirable asset that it's pretty easy to come to the conclusion that any package they might put together would get pretty easily blown out of the water by at least half a dozen teams.

Uhh, you can't trade draft picks in MLB. Well you can but only like 12 are available to be traded.

News Corp. just purchased 80% of Yes network.
I knew the deal was basically finalized for a while, but now it's official.

To the guy talking fire sale...Do you even know what a fire sale means?? A fire sale means dumping high priced vets for young cheap talent you don't take back A Rod in a fire sale especially with his baggage and salary plus he will never play again...As a Mets fan the little I know about your farm system is its empty...You in no way have the chips to land Stanton
