...Greinke would be nice but I think the Dodgers will resign him.

...other than that, the only player that interests me and that would be a great signing would be Heyward. (I'm going on the assumption that gardner may be moved)

I like Heyward along with his age & salary BUT.........I might lean more toward Upton.

And Greinke will be opting out of 3 years & $72M so you just know he'll be looking for something in the neighborhood of 5 years & 30M per. Just ridiculous.

...defense.

I hear you but the Yankees need a strong RH bat.

And can you imagine how many HRs someone like Davis would hit with that short RF porch? But he's a strike out machine & no place to play him.

...yeah, no way on Davis...Upton strikes out way to often too...I like Heyward better because of his age, cost, defense, base running, and at least for this past year, a better OPS than Upton.

...still think Judge will make an impact.

...but meh, I doubt the Yanx get either.
