OT: MLB Discussion Thread: Part XXIII

[Cassano]

Don't really want to commit term on Didi. Other 2 I'm fine with.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Guess Cashman is done prospect hugging.

Guess Cashman is done prospect hugging.

Need to see the deal. Not a fan of dealing Sheffield but he was probably going somewhere. Dont like that we havent acquired Kluber. Paxton was secondary move for me after Kluber. Does this mean no Corbin?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Now go get Kluber or Bumgarner

 

[Filthy Dangles]

 

[17futurecap]

Surprised they gave up so little.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

3 years of control for Paxton

 

[RGY]

Now go get Kluber or Bumgarner

Agreed Paxton just isnt nearly enough.

I dont like dealing Sheff for a guy who’s arm worries me, is 30 years old with no real career resume overall.

 

[2Leetch_94]

This is only step one but it's a huge step in the right direction.

 

[RGY]

 

[True Blue]

Surprised they gave up so little.

Maybe? Paxton is not exactly a 25 year old prospect. Could he be a late bloomer? Sure, but his health is always a question. He also did not have nearly as good a second half as he did first.

He’s missed time with really minor stuff, it just seems to pop up all the time.

Plus side? Not a ton of miles on the arm but it doesn’t matter how good he is if he can’t pitch.

Worthy gamble and they still have their other chips.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I like it. They should grab corbin as well. The Red Sox have more problems with lefties.

Yeah, count me a bit leery. Pitching trades have a tendency of not to work out for the Yankees. And he has not been a picture of health.

They need to come away with Kluber or Bumgarner imo. I think Kluber is the better pitcher however Bumgarner has pitched big games and you wouldnt have to face who you dealt for him often.

Trade then sign Machao or Harper

 

[True Blue]

Not sure they will give away more chips for Kluber now. Corbin costs nothing but cash.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Kluber is way better than Corbin. Legit tor arm.

Makes more sense to get a guy on a decent deal now if they plan on splurging on machado.

The Giants are not trading Baumgartner. Not even sure what the Yankees could offer them if they were. You know that Torres would be the first demand.

And no, a thousand times no on Harper or Machado. No team in baseball could afford a $900m outfield. Manny's attitude is awful and might not do well under the big lights of NYC. I am sure Harper would love to be here, but the Yankees are not laying out another $300m contract.

Cannot see them spending on Machado. Or Harper. I outlined my reasons. Not to mention the fact that adding yet another right handed bat makes absolutely no sense.

The word is they will entertain offers for him.

That’s about the only guy I’d dangle andujar for. Torres isn’t going anywhere

 

[LeetchisGod]

I'd prefer Bumgarner over Kluber. That postseason track record is unmatched.

There’s a reason they’ve loaded up on righty bats, the shift eats up lefties and most of their RH guys can still get it out to right.

There are real arguments against Machado, the side of the plate he hits from is not a good one.

Yea I dont see Bumgarner or Kluber netting Torres. They both have miles on the arm. Theyre great but they arent exactly young guya

 

[BroadwayBlues]

I like it. Said a couple weeks ago, I rather trade for Paxton instead of giving Corbin number 1 starter money. I think this move avoids that.

I'm concerned that Andujar will be traded for 33 y/o Kluber.

Need to find a Lefty that can hit to all fields. Yelich had no problem with the shift. Of course we should have targeted him instead of Stanton.
