OT: Stanton to the Yankees

The Miami Marlins should be ashamed.

How they even have a fanbase after 97 and 03 is beyond me.

Total disregard for the fans. Watch Ozuna and Yelich get dealt soon as well.

No, someone suggested that Frazier would be traded and I want to keep him.

Missed that post, that makes sense. I think he may have more value in a trade than to the Yankees, but I'd also want them to hang on to him

Yea I suggested we trade him for starting pitching. I like gardy’s Leadership in the clubhouse and I also believe Frazier is more valuable to us on the trade market than as a 5th outfielder

I'm a Yankee fan and I hope he does opt out.

For what we gave up, getting him for 3 years in his prime is enough for me.

Otherwise the last 3 or 4 years of his contract will be costly for the end of his career.

It coincides with Mike Trouts free agency as well...

These guys are young and want to play the outfield but at that money and then injuries worry you, especially the way Judge dives all over. What if Stanton and Judge take half swings just to contact at The Stadium? Still a home run to right field. Saw Judge get fooled on pitches and do just that last year. They can alternate the field and Dan Hurley, stretch their careers.

Understood. I look at it today as getting the premier power hitter in baseball for nothing in players/prospects and at a contract that while steep, might actually seem reasonable w/ the escalating prices of other players. I fully expect him to want to opt out when he sees what Harper, Machado, Arenado and others get. Give me three prime years and I'll be ecstatic.
 
I didn’t realize there was an OT on yankees aquiring Stanton.... Stone Cold likes this but will miss Castro.
 
A lot of coin to pay someone with immense talent but has trouble playing close to a full season.

Average of 26.5 million per year. What do you think Harper and Bryant are going to get.

It’s a lot of coin for someone who can’t stay healthy. Surprised Cashman made the deal. Always thought yanks would be all in for Manny Machado.

Who says they won't be. They are resetting their luxury tax for a reason.
 
I guess they are out of the running for Alex Cobb? Not sure who else can pitch for them. Maybe give Chance Adams a shot?

Sabathia would make 5 starters.

Tanaka (did not opt out)
Severino
Gray
CC (probable re-signing) and...
Montgomery/Adams (winner of ST battle)

I would love Cobb, tho.
 
I believe they have 2-3 rookie pitchers in the minors with potential, better than Montgomery maybe. Green could start too because the relief core is deep already. It only becomes an issue going to postseason because they will need 3 quality starters and can always pick up a rental at the trade deadline.

Jeter's parting gift to the Yankees. Compensation for stealing money from the Yankees his last couple seasons.

Just about all the players steal their money the last few years of a contract before retirement. Exception: Ortiz.

The same was said of the Bosox pitcher signings the last few years

I think NY needs a #2 or 3 quality starter. They scored a lot of runs as it was. Not that I don’t like the signing, but it isn’t as if Castro never hit a home run.
 
Can't claim credit for this, saw it on facebook:
"All Rise & Stant..."

George is probably smiling. As a Yankee fan I love this. Not giving up much either. Now Brian go get us some pitching

Funny thing is i made a joke about Jeter sending him to the Yankees for a bag of chips and a drink. lol! I had no idea the Yanks were even in the running.

Right. At an AAV of $22M. Still a steal. That's less than they were paying A-rod for his decline years and Stanton's deal would end 5 years before A-Rod's. After the Headley deal, they're now even on payroll. No-brainer.
 
So I’m watching Stanton take off his jacket and try on the jersey and this guy is built like an oak tree and not a small one. He seems way more muscular than Judge. He should just wait on pitches, take half swings and hit it out to right field.
 
The price was too good not to make the deal.

Not even giving up abreu is a nice win.

Sounds like they’re looking for pitching. Heard they’re kicking Corbin from AZ around. He could be a fun get.

Harper’s going to get a $400 million contract and has averaged missing 1 more game due to injury per season in his career than Stanton. He’s just as injury prone and is gonna get an enormous contract regardless.
