People expect Manny/Sox, Bryce/Phils...but if those expectations get reversed, then we will have a hole in the Miami Baseball Brotherhood, so Bryce Harper will have to fill that in and become the 3rd one

I agree though hes not going there and I didnt bring it up originally. Just saying that its a scenario where they can shift guys around and Turner was already successful out there.

Sure, but they also have Soto, Robles, Eaton, and Michael Taylor. It's one thing to retain Harper, but even without him they'll have a pretty good outfield. Forcing two guys out of position to shoehorn in a player where you don't have a need doesn't make a ton of sense.

It's sad that it's gotten to the point now where if the last message in this thread says "1 minute ago" as opposed to "just now", I know nothing important has happened.

The worst is when I back out for say a half hour and come back to 100+ messages I always think something happened and nope.

Exactly. I took off from work today since I had days to burn and I really need to go run errands. I look forward to coming back in a few hours to see nothing has still happened.

Or who's to say Machado doesn't say screw it and I'll just sign a 1 year $35 million deal for a team of my choice.  Try Free Agency again next season.    

No way. There is zero, zero indication that next year will be better. Each year frankly seems to be getting worse for everyone except relievers.

Also interesting, the yankees have gleybar torres.

Yea that is one massive injury from complete disaster. Never gonna happen.

what you don't appreciate that he replaced "utility player" with "versatile player around the infield" -- that's the sort of Shakespearean prose you can only get from Dan Clark's Twitter.

He refuses to give up, even though that signing clearly confirms the Yankees are out on Machado.

People will be shocked I say this, but way too many people discounting the Cubs and Dodgers for Bryce.  

I don't know, with what betts just got, bryant is gonna be a $20 mill player already. They really do seem up against it.

If there's something actually newsy watch either the thread title or the pinned whaling news thread.

The whole thing is kinda fishy.  I feel like DJ loses like 75% of his value if you're not playing him at 2B.  He's a rockstar with the glove there, his bat isn't what you're really paying for.  I dunno, if you needed someone to play a utility role, why not just go out and get Marwin Gonzalez?

Dan Clark needs to employ Kellyanne Conway to spin this.

 

Either that or pay Rick Hahn some cash to craft him a tweet.

 

I can't believe I fell for that guy. I didn't even know he was in Austrailia.

He probably wants more years and I think would cost a draft pick?

It's like he promised someone would buy a Corvette and that person bought a Camaro, Mustang, Charger, and a Jaguar.  "Interesting to note that this person doesn't drive any of these cars on Sundays and alternating Thursdays, so..."

Gonzalez must be asking for a lot. Only argument I could see against him is he’s not as good as a fielder than LeMehieu

The Yankees plan has to be to move Gleyber to SS at this point.

More like they went out and bought a Camry and a 92 Ford Explorer

I think ulimately DJ plays 2B, Gleyber moves to 3b, Andujar traded or 1B. Tulo SS. If Tulo can't hold up, Gleyber is at SS and Andujar stays at 3B. 

It's actually one of the scenerios Cashman mentioned during the Winter Meetings. Sign a 2B and move Torres over.

Mike Lowell said something about Andujar yesterday on MLBN that I agree with. He would much rather have a player who can hit but struggles in the field , than a guy who can't hit but is a great fielder. He said there is a much better chance Andujar will improve in the field than a guy who can't hit learning how to hit.
