YANKEES OFFSEASON THREAD: Lock This

[Cashflow]

Is it bad that I'm low key hoping for a left shoulder injury?

 

[ap27]

nice work on the first post @Essential1

I really wonder what Cashman does this year to improve the lineup. Do you guys trust Refsnyder at 2b?

Thanks..


As for Refsnyder.. Defensively, no.. As a #9 hitter, he can't be much worse than Drew, and all indications from his rise in the minors is that he knows how to approach an at bat.

Holy detailed OP.

Yankees Sell Right-Hander Martin’s Contract Rights To Japanese Team

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Yankees have sold the contract rights of right-hander Chris Martin to the Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan for $750,000.

The 6-foot-8 Martin was 0-2 with one save and a 5.66 ERA in 24 appearances for New York this year. He made 16 appearances for Colorado in 2014 and has a career 6.19 ERA.

In other moves Wednesday, the Yankees added right-hander Vicente Campos to the 40-man roster. They also reinstated righties Domingo German and Chase Whitley, lefty Jacob Lindgren and outfielder Mason Williams from the 60-day disabled list.

Sabathia had a Good Morning America interview air just now, post-rehab. Will try to find a vid later today.

I'm starting to think this will be an off-season let down year. I know Cash normally holds it close to the chest, but it really feels like this year will be like last year.


Which is even more disappointing when you look at next year's Free Agency, see the names and it's really just relievers and a bunch of crap on the market.


Then add that there are multiple top tier Free Agents on the market without a Draft Pick attached, and you get even more disappointment.


I hope Cash fools me like he did in 2014, even though the Cano stuff hurt me.

CC Sabathia can’t remember Baltimore bender before playoffs, says drinking didn’t affect his pitching for Yankees: ‘I was functioning as an alcoholic'

Figured I'd post this here, but just saw on Hot Stove that Sweeny Murti said a "rival executive" said the Yankees are going to aggressively shop Beltran. They'll probably have to eat some of the money owed and potential landing spots are Tigers, O's, White Sox, Angels, Twins, and Athletics.

Sign me up. IDC about his 2nd half stats from this season.. if we free ourselves of him it's one less grandpa on the team.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

If their shopping Beltran hopefully that means we're going after Heyward

 

[phillyzphan]

He didn't mention anything about them going after anyone. Just said that they wanted some flexibility cause right now every position but 2B is filled.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

*hopefully

 

[essential1]

I'd eat half of it. Can't say that Beltran isn't worth $8mil, even maybe as much as $10mil

I'm surprised the Royals don't still want him. Would give them flexibility to replace Rios who Beltran is much better than offensively and while he stinks on defense, Rios isn't great from the quick minute look and another bat to sit Kendrys from DH on occasion.

MLB Trade Rumors is predicting

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/2015-16-top-50-mlb-free-agents-with-predictions.html

Jason Heyward 10year / $200mil
Ben Zobrist 3 year / $51mil
re-sign Chris Young 2 year / $12mil

all to the Yankees.


But no pitcher, I swear to god.. If we sign Zobrist over a front end guy I'm going to be upset.

 

[アミーゴ]

I'm going to be super upset. Come on Cash.

 

[essential1]

I'd only be upset because it's front end guys with no pick attached on Price & Cueto.

 

[nick.]

i assume we only sign Heyward if we trade Gardner/Ellsbury/Beltran right?

 

[essential1]

Didn't say anything about a trade of one of the 3. But with Chris Young predicted to re-sign, I'd assume so. It would be either Gardner or Beltran.. Won't be Ellsbury unless it's the Cubs and he agrees to it.

I want Price for this reason.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Zobrist is

 

[macbk]

Zobrist is

I think he's gonna stay put in KC. Great player, wish we got him at the deadline. Would instantly solve our 2B problem, and he can play elsewhere if need be.

Landing Heyward would be awesome. I'm all for that move.
