At least with the Red Sox and Astros they see what fits their team and don’t just rush to find all the shiny new toys. Fits and team chemistry are big components to a baseball team. Not to mention Red Sox and Astros both look at a lot of metrics. Yankees, sign biggest player is their holy strategy. Greatly ran baseball team. How is this a "sign all the best players regardless of fit" strategy? Machado is very needed for NYYs poor infield D and a less all or nothing bat. Brantley is a solid player but I expect him to be 10-15 on the top FA list this winter. The rest is resigns and trades. Your reaction would have made sense if I said "yanks sign Machado, Corbin and Kuechel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Andujar brings to the table, he's probably going to have to move to 1B sooner rather than later. He graded out miserably this year at 3B.

I'd rather have Manny Machado all things being considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team has a reason to move a young SP, I just knw there was smoke around moving him this year and they need offense. That offensive year from Andujar is special so I dont see the deal being far off. I love CMart but his value was not increased in 2018 thats for sure.

He's still one one of the most team-friendly deal for a SP, so you're going to give up a TON to get the Cardinals to move him. Probably more than he's worth. As I mentioned, Andujar's bat is great, but his glove is miserable and he loses value if you kick him across the diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 https://mobile.twitter.com/MarcCarig/status/1050798562513174531 Sounds like Sonny Gray is on the market. Question is, what is he worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes middle relief fodder at this point. Would rather have the signing pool money. Yeah, but you guys stuck it to the Orioles on that one given the whole MASN dispute. The Marlins are trying to make up the difference in international money for Victor Victor Mesa and his brother, and the Nats can't spend more than $300k on one player. Maybe your FO sees something in Barraclough that they can adjust and turn him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, what is he worth? When Cash is out there saying he's gone I bet he ends up non-tendered. His value is so low now. My "offseason plan" had him worth Eric Thames but that may have been too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it's a solid trade if they don't feel they can use that money effectively. Three years of control over a reliever right now is something many teams are looking for. By the way, is this the same Slateman from SRM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I wonder what market there will be for Harper. The guy is a good name and has talent but that talent doesn't always happen. What teams will go for him? Will the Yankees go for him? How about the Phillies? Can the Nationals keep him? Certainly will be interesting to follow.
