OT: MLB Thread - Part XIX: Yankees Hire Boone. Joe Buck Still Unenthused

[Cassano]

Cano has at least been decent after year 1. He sort of pulled the Carlos Beltran first year with Mets thing his first year in Seattle

I'll stick with ellsbury

"I have decided to stay with the Yankees for the next three seasons.”—Masahiro Tanaka in statement. Not opting out. #Yankees

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Probably the biggest domino they needed to fall for them this offseason.

Get me Bumgarner, Santana and Carpenter and call it an offseason.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Get me Otani (if the union stops being bitches trying to block him)

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah him too if he ends up being posted.

 

[Machinehead]

Tanaka probably lost millions on that decision but this is a team committed to each other. I'm really proud of him.

absolutely, even with the slight tear he still gets more on the open market, due to age, the ability to pitch, how he will age, pitching on the big stage, etc. and pitching being at a premium

 

[RGY]

Tanaka staying could help with Otani making his decision.

How would we fit Bumgarner, Carpenter, and Santana?? Lol

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Move Ellsbury, Castro and Headley.

Santana isn't looking at a huge payday and neither of the other 2 make crazy money.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Bumgarner aint available and if he were it would cost a ton, like more than Sale lol

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't buy for a second that he isn't available. San Fran has nothing at the major and minor league levels.

They need young quality bodies. Guess what the Yankees have a boat load of?

 

[Cassano]

No thanks to Santana unless it's like a 2 year deal. Someone will give him Encarnacion money.

Bumgarner won't be traded. They need to sell tickets. Theyll move Cueto or Shark instead. Wouldn't be surprised to see them trade for Stanton and make the playoffs next year.

Will do dirty things to trade for Carpenter.

Otani is target #1 for the team. I would be content with just adding him as the major move this winter.

With what assets?

They have nothing.

 

[Cassano]

They have some borderline top 100 guys. And they'll trade one of their starters for a return as well. As long as they bite into that contract, it's a possibility. I personally wouldn't give much more than that.

 

[darko]

Stanton will fetch 2 top prospects at least. Giants don't have what it takes to acquire him.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lol 2 borderline top 100 guys won't get you into the conversation.

Neither Shark or Cueto are going to return what they need. Cueto' s contract is worse than Ellsbury's.

 

[Cassano]

Stanton will fetch 2 top prospects at least. Giants don't have what it takes to acquire him.

Stanton has a top 5 worst contract in the league. It's gonna hurt his value a lot.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Not as much as you think.

Miguel Cabrera would return more than a few borderline 100 prospects lol. Stanton coming off of a 59 homer season is going to return 2 very good pieces at the very least and probably a 3rd.

Recent history matters and he is easily a guy who can step in and be the face of almost any franchise. The Marlins aren't letting him go for peanuts, no matter how horrible the contract may be. They will easily be outbid by a team like the Phillies today.

Regardless, the Giants won't have the pieces to get him as they stand right now. IF they really want him, what better way to acquire him than by getting prospects out of a system that Gary Denbo had a huge hand in building?

Shohei Ohtani chooses Nez Balelo of CAA to represent him, "has every intention" of coming to majors this winter.
