I'm hoping the signing of Tanaka proves the Yankees have changed philosophies as far as guys like this. Watching what Puig does for the Dodgers or what Chapman does for the Reds is sickening.
And Cespedes.
Very sickening, though Betances and other lessen the need for a Chapman.
This is a Hal test because there is no downside for Cashman unless he has bad scouts.
Thinking about it, I may be wrong. If Hal tells him there can be one big expenditure, does the GM opt for pitching? That is my concern.
Same shit:
Stark: Yankees asking “almost exclusively” about starters in trade talks
By Michael Axisa
Via Jayson Stark: The Yankees are asking “almost exclusively” about starting pitchers in preliminary trade talks with other teams. Stark doesn’t mention any names or anything fun like that. The need for rotation help is clear at this point, same with infield help. A right fielder with some pop belongs on the shopping list as well.
The non-waiver trade deadline is six weeks from yesterday and I think we’re still in the posturing phase. Teams are just now starting to feel each other out — remember, so many clubs believe they are in contention and just about everyone is looking to add pitching — and I don’t think the Yankees are ignoring the infield just because they’re prioritizing a starter. Kelly Johnson, Rob Refsnyder, and Jose Pirela represent internal infield options, but the pitching well is dry due to injury. The sooner they upgrade the rotation, the better their chances of playing into October.
