New York Yankees, DJ LeMahieu finalizing six-year, $90M contract, sources say A compromise.

Maxman Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just now, Scott Dierking said: A compromise. Allows the Yankees to spread out the hit, while LeMahieu gets a longer deal. Yeah that 38 year old year might not be great if he is a backup. But as a 2B who is a contact hitter, it probably won't be too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 8 hours ago, Philc1 said: Yankees going after Luis Castillo via trade Oh Joy another sub .500 pitcher ... if this is what we are going after get ready for 3rd place behind the Ray's and the Jay's and if by chance we are able to have a very solid year and win the division forget getting to or winning the WS While I think the DJ move was a must, so is getting another front line starting pitcher in here. We have plenty of hitting to trade away, lower our salary number, sign Bauer and still be a monster of a hitting team. Hell even with Shipping Sanchez out of here that alone could Improve our pitching staff since Sanchez is a terrible catcher I'm sure many teams would love him as a DH which is where he belongs. We are going to let Paxton Walk and will probably sign Tanaka. Then we have to rely on German, Schmidt, Severino, Monty and King. If one of those guys steps up great but I'm not counting on it and Severino has not proven to be a clutch performer in the playoffs so we are one big question mark. The Stanton Signing was moronic and with his injury issues the last 2 years I'm not sure we can rely on that either. We have been fine letting Frazier rot in the Minors when teams wanted him in exchange for a front line starter. Sorry but Cashman is a horror show and wearing out what would be a great bulpen year after year won't get it done either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless he wants to come at a real bargain, or, the Yankees make a trade to shed some payroll. Or, if the Yankees go over the luxury tax, which they said they wouldn't. Spotrac currently has them at a payroll tax threshold of $205m. The 2021 tax hits at $210m. They can make some moves, which I am sure they will to the bullpen and move some things around. Or, they can as @Philc1 suggests and trade Clint Frazier and Domingo German for Luis Castillo. Imagine GM Nick Krall going to ownership and telling them, "Mr Castellini, I did it, we have received a package for our best young pitcher with 4 years remaining of eligibility on his rookie contract". Castellini responds, "That is great Nick, we must have received a haul of young talent from a prospect rich organization that is close to ready for MLB, and we can control those players and build around". "Well, Domingo German was included". Krall, looks at him as if he is on drugs, "You mean Domingo German that was suspended for domestic abuse, and last year said he was not sure if he wants to play baseball any more? That Domingo German?". "But, we got Clint Frazier too. You know the guy that through 4 seasons in the mlb has played in 162 games total, hit .258 with 28 home runs and 82 RBI. I got him despite signing international free agent Akiyama last year, signing freee agent Nick Castellanos last year and having Jesse Winker in the outfield already". So, yeah, they could do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the kind of moves that Cashman is good at. Giving Cashman 100mm to hand out to one player is scarier. One other thing about Cashman, Tommy John surgery does not scare him off at all. He loves players on the other side of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is low risk, high upside. Taillon was drafted between Bryce Harper and Manny Machado in the 2010 draft. He was just starting to really come on before his injury. Does not look like the Yankees gave up any great value in the deal, more, the Pirates are trying to get lucky and have one of them hit. What the Pirates are doing now, may be worse than what the Marlins did a few years ago. They are going bare bones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one pitcher, Yajure, was rated 15th and the most major league ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather we traded him to the frickin mets Hopefully this is just a salary dump and means we are going after Bauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
