If we weren't willing pursue Harper as a 1B, we were never gonna move Gary.

Change is good.
Speaks to the quality of the Yankees farm system because of scouts like Oppenheimer. His name is always surfacing when it comes to our prospects

Fixed.
A good fielding 1B is more valuable than a mediocre corner outfielder (what harper is) anyway. Problem is he'd also be a mediocre to bad 1B most likely.
But if he can get back to 2015 season and play at a more consistent rate at that level, he could get 40M and DH.

Trade Andujar for Syndergaard.
Sign Machado to replace Andujar.
Sign Harper.

I can see the first two parts happening. I can't see the third. But if Cashman pulls all of this off and gets Ottavino and Miller?

Honestly andujar for syndergaard kinda made me queazy.....I like Thor a lot..but I worry about him...
I don’t worry about the performance. He’s a stud when he’s healthy.
The latter part of that is where I worry. I think it would be a worthy gamble though, the upside is too high.

You greatly underestimate Andujar's value. Rookies who have seasons like that usually don't get traded and have tremendous value. Syndergaard doesn't have the value he had 3 years ago. Andujar is younger, has more team control years and isn't in line for a raise into the double digits like Syndergaard is. He also doesn't have the injury history that Syndergaard does.
Honestly, I'd rather deal for Kluber. Syndergaard being stupid and getting all stiff and jacked up and then getting hurt is going to shorten his career drastically. I have a real bad feeling about it.

Yeah...the healthy part is what's worrisome...and what's between his ears.....he strikes me as a friggin idiot.

Good thing for you won’t have to worry about such things. I’ll be fine not having to see Syndergaard in a Yankee uniform any time soon.

Eh he's not dumb at all. He's definitely a bit nerdy, which is hilarious for a guy like him. Monster from Texas, total nerd.

Fortunately, much like the stupid deal for Realmuto, this deal appears to be falling apart.
He’s a loose cannon, but how much of that was because of the environment he was in? Mets kind of let these guys do whatever they wanted.
To one winged angels point, his power power power approach to pitching and training just isn’t smart. If you’re trading for him, you hope that his arm doesn’t go boom for at least another 3 years.
