Machado told Yanks, Phillies & ChiSox that he'll be deciding after the New Year. Harper, no idea.

I want Harper more than Machado on the team. You put his lefty bat in between Judge and Stanton.

Padres wanna trade for Andujar.

Padres wanna trade for Andujar.

Unless we're getting Tatis or Gore, which we're not, nah.

 

[essential1]

I really don’t see the need to trade Andujar. Even if Manny was a Yankee

Merry Christmas Yankee brethren. Hopefully we ring in the New Year with Machado.

 

[essential1]

Merry Christmas Fellas.

Time to bid for Bryce now.

5yr/$185-$200M for either Manny or Harper

River Ave Blues has a great article about Yankees payroll, and how it’s minuscule compared to what it was in the past.

http://riveraveblues.com/2018/12/yankees-can-afford-sign-bryce-harper-manny-machado-182396/

If we could get rid of Sonny for prospects + cheap role guys. And find somebody or anybody to take Ellsbury and a couple long shot prospects for basically 2 years $20mil (we’d pay $11mil this year and $11mil next year and pay the $5mil buyout)

You clear $18-$20mil off the payroll.

There should be no reason that we don’t make SMART investments with good length of contract structured with it.

Merry Christmas Yankee brethren. Hopefully we ring in the New Year with Harper on the team and Gray gone.

Fixed

Machado? Via: IncarceratedBob

Happy New Year to all in here

Mark my words, Manny will be a problem. Hope I eat every word in that sentence ....

 

[donewithjs]

Saying we just signed Tulo for min pending physical

 

[essential1]

Well it’s 2010 again.

 

[nick.]

Whatever.

Minimum contracts can't hurt & I guess there's some upside.

 

[donewithjs]

I hope it’s not a stop gap before Didi gets back and we don’t sign Manny because we’re penny pinching. Manny unfollowed YES

 

[essential1]

Tulo has nothing to do with Manny.

They went for a guy for minimum deal that if he can get healthy can contribute.

 

[Cashflow]

Farewell David Robertson

 

[essential1]

DRob to the Phillies for 2 year $23mil High Socks


This better mean they pay Britton
Also better mean they pay Dellin next year

 

[nick.]

Britton & Ottavino become a must now

 

[naijaboy]

Cant be cheap with relievers gotta secure Britton.

 

[essential1]

Rosenthal tweeted that we’re progressing toward a deal with Britton and should be announced soon.


Severino/Tanaka/Paxton/Happ/CC
Green/Holder/Britton/Betances/Chapman
Sanchez/Romine
Voit or Bird / Torres / Andujar / Tulo
Gardner / Hicks / Judge / Stanton

5 more spots left
Cessa, Loaisiga, German, Kahnle
Wade, Frazier, Ellsbury

All guys with shots at the opening day roster.

 

[nick.]

Need Ottavino, too.

Our 'super bullpen' isn't that super right now.
