Regardless of machado's numbers versus Boston the Yanks do not need him. There Is No Vacancy anymore in our infield....

 
This only way I could justify acquiring Machado and letting Andujar go, is if; 1. The Yanx are certain they can sign Machado long term. AND; 2. In addition to Machado, the Yanx also add a front end starter. (DeGrom or Bumgarner would be nice)
 
I had a discussion yesterday with a long time MLB insider who asked me the following:

"Who can the Yankees get (pitcher) that will be a better #2 or even #3 than anything the Astros will have at those spots?"

His position was, that the Yankees won't be able to get someone who matches up with a Gerrit Cole or Morton/McCullers (assuming Verlander is #1) so why trade assets to get someone who is going to be a big underdog in those games anyhow?

He thinks it would be much better to go with what you have and hope Sonny Gray can figure it out as he has better stuff than anyone they might acquire. He also thinks they pick up Patrick Corbin in the off-season anyhow and still keep their assets. Now if they can pick up someone on the cheap that will shore up the back end of their rotation to try and get a couple more wins to stay out of the Wild Card game, then fine. But there just isn't that #2 starter out there that is available without mortgaging some of the jewels of the current roster or farm system...which the Yankees don't seem willing to trade anyhow.

He did say that the Yankees have pieces they can move to upgrade....just that what is available likely isn't going to do them that much good.

FWIW....
 
Watching yesterdays game I herd A.J. Pierzynski state that the Yankees were well stacked infield and outfield wise, why give up quality players under control. Yankees need a solid pitcher to go into the rotation more so than a rental whom you may not be able to resign.
 
Yanx have completely let Bauer off the hook (Andujar 1st pitch hacking didn't help)...wouldn't be surprised to see him again come out for the next inning...we should run Bauer our after 3-4 innings.

...do not have a good feeling about this game.

If the Yanx can in fact sign another #1 or #2, that would do them more good than just acquiring Machado alone...but next year the Yanx will have enough cash that do one will out bid them on Machado if they wanna resign him.
 
Orioles are expected to Trade Manny Machado to The Dodgers before The All Star Game.
 
Andujar, Gregorius, Torres, & Bird young, under control, and improving, how much more infield do you want. Let little A-rod fan Machado go anywhere but the Yankees.
 
both John Heyman and Ken Rosenthal are reporting Machado to the Bums is a done deal, pending a physical and cash to the O's. Yet the press conference isn't clearly scheduled, supposedly Wednesay or Thursday.... let's see, IF this pans out; thankfully he will not wear PStripes-

Now Trashman, whatcha gonna' do for an SP or 2...???

This is where we all miss King George. I loved how he always stole the show with the press, never to be outdone on all MLB matters...
 
Cleveland Indians obtain SD ace closer, Brad Hand LHP & Adam Cimber RHP for
Francisco Mejia C.
 
Ask me if I’m upset that he’s going? I would bet he can’t wait to leave New York. He never looked
comfortable in pinstripes. Imagine, Cashman conceding defeat!
 
Brad Hands mechanics are awkward as hell, little to no follow thru. A rotator cuff timebomb imo...
 
The Yankees are checking on Gausman as per Bronx Bombers Beat.
 
Can someone explain to me why trash man is pursuing Zach Britton? Is it because:
1- they have as much confidence in Chapman as a fireman woud using a squirt gun to put out a major Forest fire?

2- they lack faith in the rest of the bullpen?
3- Trashman has no clue what he's doing, or knows something he's not divulging?? Unlikely...

Sounds like a Britton trade about to happen as Dillon Tate scratched in double a tonight
