OT: MLB Thread - Part XVI: Come On. Do Something.

[Cassano]

Anyone getting Cliff Lee vibes?

Anyone getting Cliff Lee vibes?

That's quite possible.. deal isn't done until its done.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Not believing it until done.

 

[BB58]

Hopefully, they dont trade Kaprielian who has tad higher potential than severino.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Kaprelian has awesome stuff but horrible mechanics.

Don't think they'd give up on him just yet. Even if you only get 2-3 good seasons out of him before his arm explodes (again), that should fit into the window this team has to win.

I don't get why they're so resistant on trading Adams though. I like Littell much more than him.

I've accepted that Gray is going to be traded to the Yankees, I just hope that the price isn't going to be as stupid as I think its going to be.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Years ago the Yankees could never have dreamed of getting guys like Kahnle, Robertson and Gray and not having to give up either of their #1 or #2 prospects..

so much talent in the system.

 

[darko]

Gray might be good, but he's not a Chris Sale type pitcher. Chris Sale is a guy you can demand a Frazier/Torres for, not Sonny Gray.

And the circumstances for the Yankees getting Torres for Chapman is way different.

Again we got Torres for Chapman. Doesn't hurt to ask.

 

[darko]

Edit: nvm

 

[SA16]

Highly doubt Sandy cares about "rivalry reasons" with the Yankees. They've made trades in the past anyway.

 

[darko]

Lol he put up 3 WAR last year and was third on the team in wRC+ (5th among all SS) how was his play bad?

"I don't like a player so therefore i choose to ignore facts"

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

A rotation of Servino, Gray, Tanka, Montgomery is pretty decent. Sign Darvish in the off-season and, baring injuries, one of the better starting 5.

its more than decent if the real Tanaka is back.

Just talked to a source who played a direct role in Littell being scratched tonight: "He is fine." #Yankees

The Minnesota Twins are deep into discussions on a deal to send SP Jaime Garcia to the New York Yankees, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[Machinehead]

Oakland spin on that tweet is so ****ing heavy though lol.

Seriously

"In Sonny Gray trade talks between #Yankees and #Athletics, Oakland believed to prefer Florial over Frazier because of defense in CF they're not ****ing getting Frazier"

FTFY, Jon.

 

[Cassano]

Like the idea of acquiring Jaime for a cheap return. I don't think we will beat the Indians or Astros, but a division title must be the barometer.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Rumor has Littell going for Garcia. That's not a cheap return. Awful trade if it's straight up.

Yeah, can't say I like that....

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Especially for the price the Twins paid for Garcia last week....

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Garcia has been traded to the Yankees no word on what's going back yet.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Looks like Littell going back but it also looks like all or most of Garcia's contract is,being paid for.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Littell and another low level prospect for Garcia screams desperation.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Might be one of those pay a bit more for Garcia to lower the cost on Gray. Probably Yankees will say whatever their lastoffer for him as take it or leave it since we already got a pitcher.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That may be the worst trade Cashman has ever made.

I can't even pin that one on Levine being a dope, I doubt he has any idea who Jamie Garcia is.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Enns is the other player going to the Twins. Most of Garcia salary is being paid by the Twins.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Yankees should be taking on salary to lower the prospect demand. Not the other way around.
