quote:Possibly no one knows how Andujar would be at 1B, we know he has the arm for 3B he just needs to work on footwork and positioning. Plus the Yankees havent given up on Bird and Voit will get an opportunity to prove last year was him coming into his own. I'm convinced Voit can be like Bour was and just needs someone to split time with.
Andujar can move to 1B or be a super platoon guy. Stanton needs to see more time in LF to open up the DH spot.
quote:Not really, him playing DH and splitting LF kept him relatively healthy this year. I think the Yankees would like that arrangement moving forward.
Stanton needs to see more time in LF to open up the DH spot.
quote:easier said for a 29 year old coming off an injury.
Or trade Didi for a starter or 1B.
quote:Don't think he is going to get a huge deal, probably 4-5 year at 13-16 million. Hopefully the Yankees can move Gray for a possible replacement or Estrada develops this year and is given a shot the following year.
Didi is about to command one of those wrong side of 30 huge deals.
quote:They got shut down by Boston, who also shut down Houston and the Dodgers, it was their season to win.
They regularly get shut the frick down against elite strikeout pitchers. Which is mostly what you face in the postseason.
Judge hit in the postseason, so did Torres, Didi was playing hurt, Gary sucked last year as a whole, Andujar was getting his first taste of the postseason, Hicks and Stanton needed to step up though and neither did but it is a small sample size as well.

That is surprising there is any interest in Brantley. I don’t see how he fills a need.

1 year 23 million is more than I thought Donaldson would get
Posted on 11/26/18 at 1:47 pm to tduecen
makes sense though. id rather pay more for fewer years

After last year I assumed he would be on a prove it deal, just figured closer to 15-17 million.

Sources: #SFGiants willing to engage in Madison Bumgarner trade talks, and #Phillies and #Brewers are showing interest. My story tonight: LINK
quote:
Multiple sources indicated Monday that the Giants are willing to engage with other teams about the possibility of dealing their ace and three-time World Series champion. The Brewers and Phillies are among the teams that have had at least preliminary dialogue about trading for Bumgarner, sources say.
The Braves also checked in with the Giants regarding Bumgarner earlier this offseason, sources say, but there are no active talks or optimism for a trade with Atlanta.

Before the injury, the now-29-year-old hurler had been good for about a strikeout an inning with two or fewer walks per nine over 200+ frames per season. He had run up four-straight sub-4.00 ERA campaigns, with peripherals that largely matched, all before his near-unimaginable playoff heroics. At his best, Bumgarner drew swings and misses at more than an eleven percent clip while allowing hard contact on less than a third of the balls put in play against him.
Operating at less than full capacity last year, Bumgarner’s swinging-strike rate fell to 9.2% and his K%-BB% dropped to 12.0%. (He had once sat at over a twenty percent K%-BB% for three-straight seasons.) And his hard-hit rate ballooned to 41.6% (per Fangraphs) — a massive rise for a pitcher who has averaged below thirty percent for his career.
The physical changes certainly appear to have had a role. While he was never a flamethrower, Bumgarner averaged as much as 93 mph with his fastball. It has now been three seasons since he sat at over 92. As the effectiveness of that table-setting offering declined, he increasingly went away from the four-seamer in 2018, throwing it just 34.2% of the time — well shy of his 45.6% career average. While the remainder of his arsenal was still effective, the heater had been the bread to his cutter’s butter.

quote:M's want to get out of his contract so bad and hope to find a sucker. Glad the Yankees balked when the M's wouldn't pay part of his salary. Better to eat Ellsbury deal for 2 more years than to take on 120 million over the next 6
Cano would probably make the most sense in pinstripes, again, if he does wind up going anywhere. A return to the Bronx might be one locale that convinces the veteran to waive that no-trade clause, and of course the Yankees have more financial resources than most other teams. Rosenthal reported that the Mariners and Yankees touched upon a trade involving Cano and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury -- who is still owed $47.2 million in the next two seasons and also possesses a no-trade clause -- earlier this offseason, but those talks stalled after the Yankees wanted the Mariners to throw in additional cash. The Yankees worked hard to get under the competitive balance tax, and so it would seem unlikely that they would take on the lion's share of Cano's remaining money when he would probably need significant at-bats as a designated hitter -- a position Giancarlo Stanton already frequents.

MLB Tonight analysts think that Houston should engage in trade talks with the Royals for Salvador Perez and Whit Merrifield. "Sal Perez is the perfect fit, for me, for that ballpark and for that club," former general manager Dan O'Dowd said.
quote:
O'Dowd and analyst Bill Ripken value Perez for not only his longevity and well-documented ability to work with pitchers, but also his power, feeling that a move to Minute Maid Park could unlock 30-homer power for the 28-year-old backstop, who has hit 27 homers in each of the last two seasons -- while playing his home games at Kauffman Stadium instead of at Minute Maid Park, with the short Crawford Boxes in left field.

So the Braves got a 3B on his last leg of his career and a catcher with bum knees.

Sherman proposes a trade with the Yankees involving Camargo moving to the Bronx to play shortstop while Didi Gregorius is sidelined with injury, and then staying on in a super-utility role, which proves particularly valuable come the postseason, where the Yankees look to be involved. The Braves would receive Clint Frazier, the Yankees' former No. 2 prospect, who has a high ceiling but has struggled with injury. Frazier could address Atlanta's need in the corner outfield with the departure of Nick Markakis to free agency.
