I'm sure the Astros ARE indeed interested in Andrew Miller.....and they won't be getting him IMHO, unless two things happen:
1) the Yanks receive at least one or two VERY GOOD young major league ready players.
and
2) the Yanks have another deal in the works for a top closer or set-up guy. In the later case, they will then move Betances into the closer role.

I have not seen or heard, how much is Miller asking for, years and salary??? At least Andy is not a Bor-ASS client.....!
 
Why are the Yankees even discussing this guy, He & Betances have to be the best set up / closer combination in baseball, why would you fuck with that?

Oh Lord Rick now I have to find Brian's cell # to see if I can get that question answered for you.

Yeah, Miller has been great- his numbers past two seasons might be the best of any relief pitcher....
I think all of this crap is the result of Cashman making the comment a couple weeks back that he'd be willing to listen to all offers on "anyone".
So the media is running with it adding a suggestion or two and naturally the other teams are curious.
I doubt if Miller is going anywhere unless the Yanks are overwhelmed or something.

May I add- if Cashman does trade Miller without securing some other "top" closer or setup guy.........@=$@-#%"#%!

"A longtime friend" of Robinson Cano told The New York Daily News that Cano is unhappy in Seattle and would "love to somehow find his way back to New York" as per John Harper.
 
...fuck Cano...why would he want to return to the very franchise that he claims "disrespected" him?
 
Cano hasn't earned his pay in the Emerald City, and he can't reclaim his past in the Bronx, even if he was coming back, which He's not...............(of course).
 
New York Post reports that the Yankees have let other teams know that Ivan Nova is available as per Joel Sherman.
 
...it has always amazed me that there are Yanx fans who think that other teams will bow down and take the Yanx's unwanted refuse as if it's a privilege to do business to do business with the almighty Yankees.

...it may have been that way at one time, but no longer...the Yanx's mystique doesn't woo or intimidate anyone anymore.
 
I won't find it surprising if Nova would fit into some team's rotation based on his age, past performance ability and being more than a full year removed from his surgery.
He can still throw 92-94 mph with a sharp breaking ball. I don't see him being "worse" than a couple of other #4-5 SP from a couple of A.L. division winners- one of which just won the WS and the other from north of the border. lol

Not to mention ANOTHER 20 or so MLB teams....oops, I just mentioned it.

bold blue font, my own remarks


Reality Hurts


General manager Brian Cashman has a laundry list of issues to address heading into 2016. (More like a year's worth of grocery lists).


The Yankees need to find starting pitching, bullpen and middle infield help; while sifting through a glutton of infield and DH platoon options. (The boldest move Trashman can make, is to terminate his own contract).


The trade package for Nova would probably not bring back the type of players or prospects Yankees fans would expect.


Moreover, it could forecast a sign of a bigger move up Cashman’s sleeve for the likes of one of the ace starting pitchers on the market. (I really doubt this will ever materialize)


With questions surrounding number-one starter Masahiro Tanaka (elbow), CC Sabathia's bout with alcoholism, and the inexperienced yet ultra-talented Luis Severino, the Yankees can ill afford to make a mistake if they look to retake control of the AL East in 2016.


 
Yankees put Chase Whitley on waivers. He was immediately
picked up by Tampa Bay. And 'the plan' keeps on giving!

...yup, they essentially gave him away. Here's a youngster making the league minimum and who is under team control for 5 more years but unfortunately became a rule 5 casualty after TJ surgery.
...doesn't seem right to let someone go who was no worse than CC or Capuano et al. Tampa Bay got an absolute freebie...way to go, Brian.
 
It was out there plain to see (to some)- why this stupid ridiculous (rolling my eyes) move of exposing Ace Whitley to the rule 5 draft was made decided on.
Today 11/20 was the deadline to place players on the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 draft later this winter, and that resulted in the Yankees adding three deserving minor players to the major league roster.

The Yankees signed RHP Johnny Barbato 22, RHP Rookie Davis 22, and OFBen Gamel 23 to a major league contract and placed them on the 40-man roster. The Yankees cleared a roster spot this afternoon when the Rays claimed RHP Chase Whitley off waivers.

Barbato had a good season with both the Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton Wilkes Barre, going 6-2 with a 2.67 ERA in 67.1 innings. While Barbato made the jump to Triple-A, Davis was promoted to Double-A over the course of the 2015 season, going 8-7 with a 3.86 ERA in 130.2 innings between Single-A and Double-A. Gamel had a career year in the minor leagues, hitting .300/,358/.472 in 129 games with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.


Whitley 26 yrs old, will be 27 in June, coming off TJ won't be ready for season opening.....career 5.02 ERA, 1.44 WHIP..

If one the those three were exposed and lost while Ace Whitley was "protected" you would also be ridiculing "the plan", and Cashman.
By the way, which of the FOUR do you believe are also the least viable valuable trade chips- Barbato,Gamel, Davis or Ace Whitley?
Lmao

It never ends.....sometimes this is hilarious!

th
 
...hhhhhow cccould Trashman leave Ace (rehabbing from TJ surgery,career 5.02 ERA, 1.44WHIP) Whitley unprotected while choosing to add instead those other three 22-23yr olds who preformed well at AA-AAA to the 40 man roster? Hhhhow could hhhhe ddddo such a thing?
Will the Republic survive? .....this is tttttotaly out of ssssstep with the pppppppppplaaaaaaaaaaaaan.......

Lemme guess, you would've preferred he protected Whitley instead of any of those other three younger healthier, better performing players?

Ace Whitley
Barbato
Davis
Gamel
?

Yep, you have it ALL figured out.

Isn't this funny stuff?

Quite okay Rick, I understand, what else could you possibly say after choosing to sign up in agreement that this was somehow the worse(?), a bad(?), an irresponsible(?) move by leaving Ace Whitley exposed to the rule 5 draft while choosing instead to add those other three YOUNGER, HEALTHIER, BETTER PERFORMING as we speak- players.
What else could you say? Lol

Jmho....maybe we should wait at least until Cashman trades one of THOSE three players for a mediocre 30 year old before we wheel out the usual knee-jerk reaction?

Nevermind. No use.
