I would say I went from 99% certain to 98% with the Tulo news

wat did it say

was it on the facebook?

The main thing I took from it was the guarantee that Machado would sign with the White Sox

So you are saying there is a chance? ?

Obviously the Yankees could still sign Manny, but what’s more curious to me is why Tulo would want to sign with the Yankees knowing that Manny will sign with New York.

Maybe they were the only ones offering a major league deal?  Who knows.  Maybe they got a deal swirling for Andujar and will still need another infielder.  Tulo may not even be good enough to make the damn team.

Exactly, unless Manny is fine playing 3B and Andujar gets flipped.  If so, call the Yanks and trade Rodon for Andujar

If Machado goes to the Yankees, I really hope the Sox try to get Andujar.

Just listened to a NY podcast about Dan Clark and man did they tear that dude to shreds ?

Yeah, but it didn't "expose" him like I was told that it would. Just someone who had a bad interaction with Dan Clark talking shit about him and his ego. I wanted some juicy shit.

I would say Nightengale *possibly* being correct about him not fielding offers yet is way better news for us than them getting Tulo.

For DH? We got enough of those.

Why this would affect Machado, no idea...certainly, he has to be planning on playing 3B if he's going to sign there.

For Tulo, what better place to receive exposure and a "tryout" of sorts for the first 2-3 months...then the Yankees can move him in June or July back to the NL and get a nice little return on investment.

That’s what I’m thinking. Either this was Tulo’s only MLB offer, or the Yankees have a couple different potential deals in place where they could flip Andujar for pitching. 

Other than that, I am not sure why Tulo would want to join a crowded infield.

They might bring Vizquel up from the AA team if they actually do acquire Andujar to play 3B...highly unlikely to happen, but who the hell knows anymore.

Cause playing SS was supposedly a bonus to sign with the Yankees.

Wasn't Tulo a Yankees fan growing up? At the very least, he was a huge Jeter fan (plays short, wore #2 because of him).

3B. He's rough defensively at that spot right now but there's no reason why he couldn't improve. I wonder if Rodon + Alonso + one or two other pieces would get it done.

Yeah if he’s correct with not fielding offers yet that is HUGE, tulo is irrelevant news

Believe so, but he also is a bigger fan of playing time I’m sure

Yeah that seems like a more important piece of info than the Tulo news (IF true).

I don’t buy the lack of offers yet at all

I get it from Yankees side, don’t get it at all from tulos sidr, especially on a min deal.

His only option is a min deal. Whatever he gets paid just gets subtracted from what Toronto owes him. He was always going to sign a min deal.

Then it would seem Andujar could move to 1B anf get some DH at bats or gets moved for an arm.

Or maybe they went cheap at SS and shift focus to Harper?  That’s what they should do.

Where does Harper fit on that team? 1B? Not sure he wants to play there.

This whole thing is absurd.

Lol, wat? You come up with some really random shit.
