The Yankees really need to throw money at an ace. Tanaka has proven to be inconsistent. Severino has looked very hittable in the past month. And a bunch of question marks after that.

There is not one to be had via Free Agency this winter.
They need to trade for one instead of prospect hugging this time around.

If Sonny Gray never pitches another game for the Yankees, I would be okay with this scenario.

They would not be where they are if not for "prospect hugging". Cashman has no need to pay a Yankees tax. They finally stop sending all of their prospects to other teams and now people can't wait for the to empty the farm. Cashman did not like the asking price. Full stop. That is not hugging anyone but the organization. He did not want to overpay, plain and simple. Finally, the Yankees are thinking with the long term horizon in mind. Which may run counter to the instant gratification level of some fans and the decisions that they would make if they were the GM.
There is only one thing that Cashman needs to do. And that is to stay the course.
LOL, I legitimately laugh every time I see someone say "Yankees Tax" in an unironic way or when not in the context of the Mets or other AL East teams.
There is no long term horizon in which we will see Chance Adams and likely Clint Frazier ever start for this team.
The former is not a starting pitcher, the latter just doesn't have a spot on the team.
You know what he could have gotten for those 2? A front of the rotation starter, which is what they need more than anything and they don't have one in the system, at least one that is close to participating.

The met's are so f***ing pathetic it's mindblowing.
And then Juan Soto did something the Mets would do and cause a HR that wasn't even going over the fence.

f*** YOU BOONE FOR PLAYING SHANE ROBINSON. f*** YOU.
I said it the other day management needs to step in and get rid of that bum because Boone cant help himself. 1 out, 1st and 3rd. He should have pinch it for him there. The guy SUCKS. It is so infuriating. So beyond infuriating. We have Shane f***ING Robinson playing on this team.
Youre an asshole Boone. A true asshole for playing that guy. Stuff like that should be fireable.
Go get Granderson right now Cashman

And you know this how? I think Frazier has a great chance to play next year. You are offering your view of the situation. Clearly Cashman has a different opinion than you and did not want to trade Frazier. Maybe he thinks that there is a spot for him.
We've gone around the mulberry bush on this. I ask you how can you know this. You site the mighty "source". So are you stating that your source was in the room where it happened? As I recall, the answer was no. Of course, you also back track and say that that you are no so sure how much you can trust this source, but yet you think that you should. So what you are offering is conjecture based on someone's conjecture.
Yes.
My source is a guy who scouts the international league (and the eastern league) for the Pirates. His input was asked for prior to any deal going down.
I never back tracked, read what I said again.
Also, Cashman is more than willing to move Frazier. He was on the table for Cole.

Geez, if I'm a sports agent, I'm demanding that any of my clients completely expunge their social media before signing with me. Just delete the entire history or even the entire account and just start over as soon as you make the big leagues.
He tweeted that when he was in the minors so he was already a pro.
He doesn't have the kid excuse to fall back on either, he was 23.
On a positive note, Lynn is pitching the way you'd expect someone to pitch against the O's.
Give him Gray's spot. He's already stretched out.

And that journalist reported that Neil Huntington asked for Torres and wouldn't back off of him and the trade never happened.
So who's more believable? Media with credentials, or some random on a fan board who doesn't have access?
I'll go with the former.
Journalist was wrong.
One of the very few times where I'll be able to say this, but I had better access than he did.

Yeah considering my guy was called into the room to discuss potential pieces headed to Pittsburgh from the Yankees, Yes.
Andujar was their target, they knew they weren't getting Torres and they never insisted on him as you keep saying.
