drdetroit Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 World Series is over. So let the hot stove talk begin. Trade Ellsbury! good luck with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Ref is 24. Bring him up now or do him the favor of a trade. I'd rather a rookie hit 240 with average ish defense who has a future than have a 36 year old who has done nothing in years. Refsnyder should be the starting 2b next season. Btw I hope the Cubs get Price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 It's gonna be frustrating but the Yankees aren't really gonna be able to do much this off season. I wish we could be flexible in what direction we could go in, but the contracts and age of the players on our roster make that impossible. C. McCann 1B. Teixeira 2B. Ackley/Refsnyder SS. Didi 3B. Headley LF. Gardner CF. Ellsbury RF. Beltran DH. ARod That is what we are working with. And unless Teixeira gets hurt again, Bird will likely be in AAA playing everyday. A lineup that will greatly depend on players who are another year older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they are 2 of our best RH hitters, with Tex slated to be replaced by a left handed replacement.

jack48 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The Royals are unlikely to re-sign Ben Zobrist. the Mets were after him during the year. A little long in the tooth, but in good shape and healthy. He could be a good addition. The kind of hitter they really need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind of hitter they really need Think they went after him for the season that just ended. Dilson Herrera is probably their second baseman moving forward. Think they are more likely to be in the market for a SS, unless they think Flores made strides with his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a good SS prospect maybe a half or a year away, and a better prospect 2 years away. I see Flores eventually as a backup for Wright and for the other positions.

Jetlife33 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The Mariners and Rays have announced a three-for-three trade that sends infielder/outfielder Brad Miller, first baseman Logan Morrison, and reliever Danny Farquhar from Seattle to Tampa in exchange for righty Nate Karns, lefty C.J. Riefenhauser, and minor league outfielder Boog Powell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I don't ever want to see Stephen Drew play again for the Yankees. What they don't need is a 412 year old man hitting 180 for months at a time. The funniest part was listening to Sterling and Waldman tell listeners how he really was productive and always on the cusp of coming around. That and "Headley deserves the Gold Glove" were two of the biggest homer statements Yankee radio repeatedly made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he be called up next year? Be a 4th outfielder, spelling Gardner and Ellsbury?

(I know he's not a CF, play him in left and slide Gardner to center for a day) Dont think theyll call him up unless hes gonna play almost everyday. He will be in AAA, so if he gets off to a quick start buzz will start about a callup, especially of Beltran isnt performing, but h has has to earn it.

Jetlife33 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 According to Ken Rosenthal, the Yankees are very active on the trade market early this offseason. At the very least, it appears they are gauging interest in all their players. “Sounds like the Yankees are shopping everyone,” said one executive to Rosenthal, “with the exception of (Luis) Severino.” Jon Heyman hears Andrew Miller‘s name is being circulated, though it’s unclear how serious the Yankees are about moving him. @Tyler Durden , Seems like Cash has something up his sleeve. Still too early to tell but looks like anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I wouldn't have a problem moving Miller, especially with that forearm issue he suffered through this past year. If it could net us a useful piece I'd be down. Slide Dellin into the closers role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Cashman has to be pretty creative to make any significant changes, he's really handcuffed by the age/contracts, especially in our lineup. Just don't see any flexibility there. Gardner is the only player in the everyday lineup I can actually see someone willing to trade for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I live 30 minutes from Arlington). Ranger fans also hate the Yankees, so from a PR standpoint, they would want a lot back. I don't know what the Yankees have that they would want.

Jetlife33 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Herrera made it to the Double-A level last year at just 20 years of age. The Venezuelan native came to San Diego as the player to be named later in the trade that sent Kyle Blanks to the A’s. He worked 145 2/3 innings this year, split between High-A and Double-A, with a 4.08 ERA and 6.4 K/9 against 2.6 BB/9. Herrera is known as a polished but undersized hurler who could eventually find a place in a big league rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beverly Hills Sports Council client already has offers in hand, according to Olney, and he’s planning to meet with the managers of some of those teams in the coming week. Olney lists the Tigers, Red Sox and Giants as three clubs to have shown interest in O’Day, though it’s not known if any of those three are among the teams to have extended a formal offer.
