Castro, Devers, Guzman for Stanton and $30M pending physical. #Yankees doing thorough work up so might not be finalized until tomorrow or Monday

Deal is absolute steal. Yanks substitute castro and holliday for torres and stanton. We'll have stanton for 3 prime years. With the team yanks have hard to see him opting out. But if he does we'll let him go as hopefully cashman learned his a-rod lesson. And if not yanks will be happy to pay him for next 7 years.

...fwiw, I'm trying to take this deal with tempered enthusiasm...I remember the day the Yanx the Yanx got ARod (it was on my birthday) and I remember how exited I was...not saying that Giancarlo will be another ARod nightmare but I just hope we don't end up regretting this deal.

I hear you but from all accounts stanton is a good guy and should blend in well with this you team. I think as you said cashman will be busy this week trying to trade gardner, headley, and seeing how much he can get a team to pay for ellsbury to get as much of his money off the salary cap as he can. Also, he could use clint frazier and adams in a trade for a young starting pitcher although in this day and age of analytics where a starter only goes 5 or 6 and then the bullpen comes in I'm not sure if starting pitching is as valued as it once was. In any case a nice problem for boone to have

...yeah, and unless CC is willing to accept a much lower salary, the Stanton deal may prohibit the Yanx from resigning him if they are serious about getting below the lux tax cap.
 
Never thought I'd ever say this but I'm considering buying Brian Cashman fat head poster to go on my bedroom wall.

Leave Biggie alone. :lol:
 
Figured that acquiring Stanton would be costly but looks like it might be a cheap deal player wise. Still not sure how much salary Miami will pick up. If this move works, and is augmented with future moves that would enable this team to be like the 5 consecutive World Champion '49 to '53 Yankees I'd consider a poster of Cashman in my music room. As of right now though we've seen one World Series since 2000. Here's hoping the moves make results.

...my one concern is that considering how HR reliant the Yanx were last year the addition of Stanton will make them even more so.

...unless there are people on base when these HRs are hit we may very well be exposed and come up short once again when the PS starts and we face better pitching. The number of SOs between Judge, Sanchez, and Stanton also concerns me. We also need people who get on base at a good rate.

...^^^gotta believe that either Gardner or Headley or Ellsbury will also be dealt. If they can deal Gardner or Headley that will nearly wash out Stanton's contract when you also take Castro's salary off the books.

I'd take our GM's fat head off my dart board, and retire it, IF he can trade all 3, or at least Headcase and Dingleberry; a move that could make a huge difference IF we got a seasoned proven SP or 2. Gardner's got to be worth a middle reliever.

With the swing in the avg SP being a long reliever imo, I'd never give up on CG'ers, tho' they're truly a dying breed. A CG'r gives everyone a rest long term. Regardless, the one thing imo that takes the team all the way to the W.S. is improved Pitching, both SP's, as equal a BP, then some.

As 59 pointed out, this team also needs high OBP% hitters. If any position player is traded for, they've got to show immediate returns; w/consistent long term dividends,..We need men who can get on base, steal bases, and let the Judge
and Bigfoot drop the bombs, ntm- Sanchise, and Bird, et al, hell....

What oh what to do with Betances, which one will show up when???

Ntm- the defense has got to remain tight/flawless, with each prospects arrival....

Yep, got to give that home run reliance a lot of thought. Love to see those "big flies" but I'm more partial to keeping the line moving with timely singles or XBH. Was not sorry to see Castro go I was never sold on that guy. Sour Grapes press giving Jeter the business claiming he will sell the Marlins, buy the Angels and trade Trout to the Yankees.

Yeah, the media jackals are crucifying Jeter for doing exactly what he should be doing, which is to undo the damage that Jeffrey Loria's regime had created...the Marlins simply cannot spend the same as teams like the Yanx, Sox, Dodgers, et al, can...hell, they finished 28th out of 30 teams in attendance, averaging only about 20,000 fans per home game.

They also cannot afford to spend about 30% of their payroll on one player, which is why Stanton was dealt. It was a much needed salary dump.

But some of these sports writers say things just for the sake of creating discussion regardless of whether the statement has merit or not. I even saw our old buddy Andrew Marchand declaring that the Yanx would no longer be likable like last year because the Yanx had now officially returned to being "the evil empire" simply because of this trade... yeesh.
 
Yankees still weighing trades for Ellsbury and Headley..... Ellsbury has a full no Trade Clause and doesn't want to leave said he wants to win CF job back. The Yankees say that job belongs to Hicks as per Jon Heyman.
 
Stanton Blockbuster only awaits Physical results now. Exact amount going to Yankees with Stanton is 30 Million as per Jon Heyman.
 
Yankees possible Lineup next Season:

Gardner
Judge
Stanton
Bird
Sanchez
DooDoo
Hicks
Andujar
Torres

as per River Ave. Blues.
 
Blue Jays interested in Josh Harrison as per MLBRumors.Com.
 
CC Sabathia and the Angels have held discussions about him signing as a Free Agent as per BronxBombersBeat.com.

...not the $50 Mil I was hoping for but I can live with it...the deal is a win/win for the Yanx no matter how you slice it.
