December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 09:37 PM) Sounds like Yanks are gonna likely get him according to numerous baseball writers Wow, that sucks for us. Maybe it takes them out of the Machado sweepstakes though.
December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 09:39 PM) Wow, that sucks for us. Maybe it takes them out of the Machado sweepstakes though. Certainly makes it more likely that Harper ends up a Dodger.

December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 09:43 PM) Cough Cubs Cough They're not the Dodgers. They can't just eat that Heyward contract and signing Harper would make them lose key pieces. I don't see how Harper doesn't end up on the Dodgers, Yankees, or Red Sox.
December 9, 20178 yr There’s progress on Yankees Stanton talk and hope, but hurdles remain. It’d likely be a mix of prospects with a high-priced veteran “(s) going to Miami too.— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) December 9, 2017 Hopefully this thins out the Yankees farm a good amount. I still think we should see if they need a third team to take on money. If he's going to end up in NY we might as well try to get something from it.
December 9, 20178 yr Robert Moncada Stanton Jimenez Abreu Machado Arenado Avi Beef/Collins Mercy RH heavy but whatever. Mercy. Bench: Burger Beer Delmonico Anderson Mercy
December 9, 20178 yr Geez. Stanton and Judge in the same lineup is a scary thought. Modern bash brothers.

December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) It means the GM didn’t give a s*** about potential future consequences, because his charge was to win now. I just read that Yanks' Jacoby Ellsbury also has the No Trade clause. (Almost) Unbelievable.

December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 07:27 AM) I really hope the Yankees at least gave up a lot of young talent. The Marlins don't have the leverage now that Stanton has rejected STL and SF. Just a guess, but I'm thinking the Yanks will give up less than what SF offered. Man, Stanton really stuck it up Jeter's ass.
December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 07:46 AM) The Marlins don't have the leverage now that Stanton has rejected STL and SF. Just a guess, but I'm thinking the Yanks will give up less than what SF offered. Man, Stanton really stuck it up Jeter's ass. Just saw a rumored package of Castro, Andujar, & Tate. If true, the Marlins are coming out as big losers and should have just waited.
December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 07:50 AM) Depends on money I’ve argued it before, but I think guys like Stanton are undervalued because of their contracts. There simply aren’t a lot of 6 WAR players in baseball so that type of production becomes a scarce resource even it doesn’t come with a ton of surplus value per se. Giants seemed to be offering a pretty serious package despite taking on most of Stanton’s contract. And it sounds like the Cardinals did as well. That kind of proves my point that stars like Stanton are worth more than their traditional surplus value. Unfortunately it sounds like the Yankees are going to get a steal here as the Marlins have no leverage. Edited December 9, 20178 yr by Chicago White Sox
December 9, 20178 yr So the Yankees dream of creating a major league minor league team has come true, the mole has fulfilled his duty
December 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 07:48 AM) Just saw a rumored package of Castro, Andujar, & Tate. If true, the Marlins are coming out as big losers and should have just waited. OOF! That is ugly. Agreed on waiting. There just isn't enough teams with the money and prospects, then factor in Stanton's refusal to be traded to select teams and there's not many teams left for the Marlins to work with. The Marlins have no leverage, at all. I bet Jeter just wants this nightmare to be over with. Also. Loria really helped stick up Jeter's ass too. Well done Loria/Stanton.
