The selling price would likely be in the neighborhood of $3 billion. Sorry but Jeter and an investment group is not going to be able to do that. It would have to be assumed by another conglomerate.

...you're assuming you know how much the "investment group" has to invest.

Btw.....Do any of you guys watch Big Brother??? Lmao

The investment group would have to include some of the richest people in the country. This is not a franchise somebody would be purchasing for $250 million. Mark Cuban in the past has even said it's something he couldn't afford. Perhaps a stake in the team could be sold off but I don't see why the family would do that. If it was to be the entire thing you would need a conglomerate like a Cablevision to purchase them.

...an investment group very nearly bought the Clippers for somewhere between $1.5 and $2 Billion. (going from memory)
...I didn't say anything about Cuban and I don't know if he could afford it or not...hence an "investment group".

Cashman might suck but:
Didi > Greene
Eovaldi > Prado/Phelps

Shhhh...things usually get quiet when you mention how well the DiDi deal has thus far turned out.
Just pretend Cashman didn't clean Dombrowski's clock in that deal....LMAO.
Excuse me, I just mentioned Dombrowski's name....gotta genuflect.

Okay- it's done.

Phelps - last 6 starts (July,August) 5.83 ERA, .316 BAA,
avg less than 5 IP per start.
Season- 4.50 ERA, 1.35 WHIP

Prado (good player) .276 BA, .695 OPS, 7 errors in 102 G at 3b
Headley - .276 BA, 741 OPS -
Obviously has made alot of errors but hopefully seems to have settled down making 6 errors since June 12.
Has been known as a solid 3b prior to this quirky season.

Yanks leading hitter w/ risp .322 BA , .929 OPS.
Overral, has been an asset to this team----- IMO

Cashman sucks donkey balls...

Brothers Grimm need to sell the team to someone who gives a damn

Yanks currently have the 3rd best record in the league, 1.5 games out of first place behind Toronto.
They have a winning record at Home, on the Road, vs LH/RH pitchers,
vs East,Central,West, Day/Night, Grass/Turf, Interleague, .500 in one run games.
Toronto is 31-33 on the road, .500 on GRASS, 13-24 in one run games.
Houston has a losing record in one run games, winless on turf!

MLB? Yanks have 7th best record.
They currently would be in 1st place in the N.L East and 1 game out of N.L West.
Dodgers have a 28-36 road record- you think the Dodgers are a "better" team? lol
Keep in mind we still have a month left to go and it remains to be seen where the Yanks will measure up with those other teams who are supposed to be "better".

Only the Cards, KC and Pitt have W-L records better than 1.5 games over the Yanks.
Cubs- ONE game better as we speak. Don't make me laugh.

We all want the Yanks to have a better record- we all want the Yanks to have THE BEST record. If that is your criteria for a GM, then I'm sorry- tough break.
The idea is to first win the division- if not, earn a playoff spot- then advance.

The regular season isn't settled yet-
I know it sucks when your team doesn't have a BIG first place lead.

Okay, you think Cashman is doing a bad job- fine.
But speaking as Yankee fan to Yankee fan, no offense intended, but taking into account all of the above, I can't see how you can say Cashman has put a bad product on the field. It's clear you are being humored and encouraged by others who have the same opinion and anti-Cashman agenda, but I'm not one of them...and there are Yankee fans out there who aren't on this message board.

...I was never really a Pats hater but can't stand their fans because they're cut from the same neurotic cloth as Sox fans...but this whole thing really disgusts me.

It's really ridiculous. The former aide that setup her server is going to plead the fifth. He wouldn't come to that stance on his own. Why would he?

 

[yankeesince59]

...I'm sure he will be "compensated"...he'll never have to work again.

Don't know if you guys watch preseason but the Jets are on NFL Network. I'm a Giant fan so I am watching the Tigers/Royals game. Sorry to interrupt your conversation.

 

[cagedlion]

Lillie, watching the boring Giants in another
meaningless preseason game..... at the half 6-6.
Can't tell how these Giants will fare this season.
Many are picking them for last place in their division.

They're better than Washington but I don't see anyway they're better than Dallas or Philly.

Well they can't be worse then last season right???

Ok guys you are going to think I am joking but I'm not. I just ordered a Joey Bats doll off the internet. So if any of you have any tips on Voodoo, please by all means enlighten me.... I have the pins ready!! Lmao

Joey Bats may dislike high tight fastballs more than pins.

Who knows maybe they surprise us. That's what always nice going into an NFL season.

I agree and I know Eli got us 2 but I'm not convinced that he is elite. I have seen good Eli and bad Eli.

I look at it this way. As a franchise QB the Eli era brought two Super Bowls. You can't ask for much more then that unless you're a Pats fan.

That's a good point Vic. I didn't think of it that way.

Giants under the Eli era were as good as the franchise ever was.
They were a joke for years and years.
Parcells era was also successful but they weren't as QB driven as the Eli teams.
Their long, time consuming scoring drive vs the Bills in the Super Bowl with 3rd down conversions and without a penalty was almost...astounding.
Like to see them try and pull that off again.

I worry about their defense this year and there's also offensive line concerns. If they can protect Eli has can certainly do some damage with Beckham, a healthy Cruz and Randle. The tight ends aren't bad and the running game is decent as well. In other words they have the potential to put up points but like last year there's no moral victories in losing to Dallas 38-31.

 

[Lillie]

Wait what??? I just checked the box scores and Tebow is with the Eagles now...wtf I thought he was pretty much done, btw Giants won 12-9, Whoopee!!
