Gagne to the Yanks?

There are persistent rumors that the Yanks have landed or are close to landing the suddenly svelte reliever for a package that is said to include Tyler Clippard, Brett Gardner and one or two other pieces. If this is truly he price I can render an opinion till I know the other pieces. Clippard and Gardner, though are quality prospects who are blocked, so it's pretty clear they will go at some point.

Also, Monday is an off day (actually the last three days have been off days) for the Yankees, and I'd expect them to really work the phones between today's game and Tuesday's.

I hope we get Gagne, for a reasonable cost and can sign him beyond this year.

Why is Damon in the lineup today??

Maybe we're shopping him.

That is music to my ears, Damon needs to go. There were articles the other day about it, so I hope there is some truth to it.

Quick Question:

Do You guys think Melky is long term answer for CF

I think he's the CF till Carlos Urena is ready.

I agree. I could see Melky moving to one of the corner spots or being a 4th OF.

I would not be surprised if we made a run at Hunter this winter...

He won't be a 4th OF, he's either move to a corner or get traded when Urena is ready. This is a 22 year old who is the second best defensive CF in the league, and since he got the job, his OPS have been over .800. That's what you want in CF.

Agreed. He definitely provides a spark, and should be in the lineup daily. I mentioned 4th of b/c I worry about what the Yanks perceive him as.

Miranda pulled in the 4th.

From another board...

Marquez is one of two Yankee prospects the Rangers wanted for Gagne; Ian Kennedy the other. The Rangers plan to mull the offer vs another one on the table. The Rangers are happy with either deal. Farnsworth is gone to Detroit; tomorrow or Tuesday.

Which board?

Phil/Dan have you been able to confirm any of this?

Nope. But it's the weekend...
