I wouldnt throw the farm at either. Both have had their ups and downs. Neither are a Kluber or MadBum. Or Greinke. However, I do like both, more Stroman than Sanchez, and I would be calling to see what Toronto wants.
The AL East is a 2 team division for the next 3-4 years with Yanks and Sox. Blue Jays are better off loading up with prospects.
Is there a reason chatter has been quiet around Jed Lowrie? He'd be a perfect short term player for many teams, but especially the Yankees. He didn't receive a QO either.

So Cash doesn't want to give up prospects for Kluber/Bauer and he doesn't want to shell out for Corbin...
Unless hes planning to splurge on Harper/Machado, this makes no sense.

I am really hoping he has a plan. Happ is good but that has to be Plan B to Kluber/Bauer and MadBum options. Like Ive said I would want to get 2 of those 4....essentially one from Plan A as well as Happ pushing CC to the 6th SP, long relief role. He can very serviceable in 2 inning situations say the 5th-6th if a starter having an off day.
And I still want Harper or Machado.

Let's face it, the Yankees aren't saving money for a big splash.
They're saving money to save money.

New York sports teams have a long history of making me an ass. Hoping for it in this case.

I was meh on Corbin anyway, but the premise here is absolutely spot-on.
The Yankees are saving money to line their pockets. There's absolutely no ulterior motive on-field as we've been led to believe.
"We're gonna make a big splash when the time is right!" This winter was the time.

I miss baseball bitching about the big bad Yankees using the rest of the MLB as their farm. Yanks used to set (inflate) the FA market. Now they don’t ‘overpay’ for FA’s on principle. But the market fluctuates and some years you might have to overpay for the stars but it seems they have a philosophy they’re sticking to.
I don't have a problem with passing on Corbin...
If they have plans to spend that money somewhere else + acquire another top line starter. None of this Happ nonsense (as good as he was here.)
Now is not the time to prospect hug. Paxton trade was good, we have more ammunition to land someone even bigger.
Use it.

Keeping under the luxury tax will enable them to spend money dollar for dollar on free agents, as opposed to being taxed to whatever amount.

That phase ended when Aaron Judge debuted.
His prime is a window to win multiple championships. He's the type of talent to take a team to another level, like Betts is for Boston, and like Jeter was in the 90's.
And he's got a supporting cast already in place. This team just needs to fill holes.
Don't waste it.

If they have a budget then Cashman needs to be smarter with the signings. You don't re-sign Gardner and CC. Use some of that money for Corbin instead.
