2016 - New York Baseball (Yankees-Mets)

Red

What is your take on all these trades? I personally love them. Can't wait until we shed more salary and start rebuilding the right way. We are on the right track.

I'd love to see them outright release Arod.

Good trade for the Yankees.

Much to Redvolution's chagrin this wasn't a good Yankees team and it wasn't going to make the playoffs.f

Time to rebuild.

Suddenly the farm system has gone from poor to ho-hum to decent.

And by the end of tomorrow could get that much better.

Clear more salary and reload in the offseason.

I think this was a good team in need of a pitcher and a bat. I still think some of the youth is growing and learning,
I get what they are doing but wanted to keep Miller.

We know that if you go the blue jays route and get a couple of players at trade line that it doesn't work.

Again. I get it. Although I think this team had a run in it and in a playoff series anything can happen.

Good lord.
I cannot express how crappy he is and in how many ways,
A life sucking leach.
 
Personally, I love the trades. This team can't hit its way out of a wet paper bag, and the pitching is also leaky at the worst possible times. It's better to take advantage of needy teams in the manner that the Yankees did. I don't expect all of these guys to pan out, but you would have to think that between new acquisitions such as Torres, McKinney, Frazier, Sheffield and Tate, as well as guys presently in the system such as Judge, Sanchez, Austin, Montgomery, Lindgren, Mateo, Rutherford and Kaprellian, the Yankees should be in a position to push forward a young core of players with low salaries that will allow more flexibility to go after guys like Jose Fernandez and Bryce Harper when they become free agents.

As for Alex Rodriguez, he isn't exactly in the best position to succeed. He's not used to playing off the bench with limited at bats, and he isn't hitting enough in those opportunities to earn more plate appearances. His inability to play a position also kills him. With McCann likely to be the DH when Gary Sanchez gets called up tomorrow, I don't see where he's going to play. Cutting him though isn't great either when they owe him $28 million.

There's no sense hanging on to him either. He's useless as a player. And he's taking up a valuable roster spot.

Release him, let him collect his money and finish his career 4 homers short of 700.
 
Been a Yankee fan since Reggie and this was a great week......instead of treading water for a few more years they made some moves that might ignite the next dynasty

We have never been great with promoting prospects but we will get a good look at Gary Sanchez-C,
Aaron Judge-OF, Tyler Austin-1B, Luis Severino- SP, Ben Gamel- OF and that is before the real blue chippers we just got hit in a couple years...add that to our prodigious war chest and subtract ARod, Tex, CC and their salaries and I am ecstatic....could we even dream of Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Mike Trout or Jake Arrieta and Jose Fernandez in the future

Agreed.

Watching this team over the last 4 years has been wretched.

It's been like watching a corpse rot.

Let'em have a 70 win season, get a plum draft position and move on to next year with more "kids" in the lineup.

Boston tanked and got Bennindidi? early in the draft and he just got called up today...if they get into the top 10 they can sign FAs and not lose their 1st round pick

Plus they might get under the 189m threshold next year and can reset the luxury tax which was killing Hal

Yeah. 4 short right up the buttocks!

You know... Years ago when they gave him new deal... The talk was... They did it for the home run record,,, to bring it back to the Yankees. Since then he has been disgraced.

Never?

That mid 90s run that netted 5 WS in 13 years and playoffs just about every year was farm-core.

and it took Stein being suspended to give them a chance....Stick Michael did it while George was gone.....the Bosses never think that we can or should rebuild....even now Cashman had to beg Hal and Hank....they only think in terms or ratings and attendence

The crazy thing is that can get younger and better at the same time.....with PEDs gone it is a young man's game.....look at CLE, HOU, MIA, KC

That doesn't change my point. ;-)

Yep, they want it both ways.

But even then Jeter, Mo, Pettitte, Posada and Bernie all spent several years in the minors......none of them were fast-tracked....they have always been reluctant to hand things over.....that is what makes this sell-off so amazing....it really is a dramatic reversal

I hope a few of these prospects pan out.
