OT: NY Yankees 2018-19 Hot Stove

[Kbee3]

So if they "dump" him, and get back Realmuto, you'll come back on here and say the Mets made out on the deal or will you say they now have a hole in the rotation,lol.

Wait...I'm still trying to get over how great Mets fans thought Plawecki and d'Arnaud were.

Way to answer the question,lol. If you had Thor, the injury pron pitcher at the top of your rotation, or better yet, in last years rotation against Boston.

Looks like Happ is done, pending a physical:

A shortstop. Not named Manny.
Trading Gray away for bullpen help
Trading Bird away for a bag of shells.
A left handed bat. Or two.

Left handed bat? So you want Harper?

I'll take Harper on one condition. It means that they aren't getting Manny... other than that no.

For some reason, I do think we will end up with one of them.

Unfortunately for Bus, we'll probably be getting Machado. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

He makes more sense from a position need, but Harper is the lefty bat that was born to play at the stadium, so who knows!

Not just for me. I know a ton of Yankee fans, friends and family, and nobody wants that prick.

[Rhuarc]

I'm good with none, either one or both. Honestly, it's not my money. However, we do need a 2b or SS. I'd go after Murphy I think.

Murphy would be a fine stop-gap player until Didi returns, wouldn't complain about that decision.

Cashman has said that Glaber is more suited at 2nd. So I think they go after a defensive shortstop.

Yup, forgot about that. Good idea not to screw around with Torres.

I don't want the prick either. Harper is a great pick for Yankee stadium;

Tyler Wade ?

 

[RickB113]

To be fair I would much prefer Harper to Manny. But I want one of them.

I know you preach pitching, so where would Harper fit in,Severino-Harper-Tanaka-CC, or Severino-Tanaka- Harper-CC? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Trade him to the Mets for Syndegard.

Lol, there you go, it's pitching, pitching,pitching!!!!

Machado visiting the Yanks today, we shall see.

Phillies tomorrow. Finally wishing Phillies win this one.

 

[ponyfoot19]

Carlos Beltran hired as a 'special advisor' to Cashman. FWIW, Beltran and Machado have the same agent.

The Phillies are going to go nuts and sign one of the two for something ridiculous. Not sure which one yet.

Everyone is making a big deal with that. Doesnt mean anything with getting Machado. You know who gets Machado? The team that makes the biggest offer

 

[WhiteBus]

A's aguire Profar from Texas. Would have been a great fit for the Yankees. Can play any infield postion, switch hitter and can hit.

 

[Rhuarc]

What do you think is up with the dodgers trade? Is it a salary dump to go for Harper?

They were all in by trading for Manny than they realized he isnt a fit at all. So maybe, big teams need big names. But they haven't been talked about much in the Harper sweepstakes. Good strategy?

I agree 100%.

Easily your most intelligent post here.

I 'm having trouble disagreeing with any of that.

Machado will not hit top line pitching, but he will crush your average 3, 4 and 5 starter and win you the pennant by the amount of runs he’ll save provided he plays 3rd base.

So....you’ll love him all season long and hate him in the playoffs

Which is why you put the 30+ mil a year in your pocket and leave Andujar the hell alone!

 

[Kbee3]

No. You don't put it in your pocket. You spend it on improving the pitching staff.

Agreed, Andujar is a better offensive player

Yankee fan here, and I hope that we sign neither. I am a big fan of Didi and Andujar, am willing to have less than a mega star fill in for Didi while he's out. Yankees need to go for pitching, pitching, and more pitching.

 

[Kbee3]

Agreed, Andujar is a better offensive player

I thought I was the only one who thought that.
And he's got a real chance to improve at the plate.
Getting Machado only works for me if we can dump Stanton.

 

[KT8813]

Agree. What I meant by put it in your pocket was you don't hand it to Machado! I have been saying since the beginning of last Spring Training we need pitching and not big name prima donnas.
