Yanks Complete Day 1 at the Meetings
On Official Day One of the 2017 Winter Meetings, the Yanks officially introduced their new their latest in a long line of history sluggers, Giancarlo Stanton. He follows Homerun Baker, Ruth, Mize, Maris, Reggie, Winfield, Tartabull, Giambi, Matsui, Sheffield, Arod and Teixeira as mashers from outside. And most of them have portended great things. Stanton will join them, becoming the new big brother to Judge, Sanchez and Bird. It's going to be amazing.
The Yanks also substantially established the new coaching staff. Not sure if they've named them all yet, but they've named an interesting bunch.
Finally, it seems like we're back to the era of the Boss. In those Hot Stove periods, more often than not, the Yanks made 2 big moves. Matsui and Contrera, Sheffield and ARod, Teixeira and Sabathia (and AJ Burnett!) And I think we're all expectinf another one now, though, I don't think Garret Cole fits the above category, and would not pay nearly as much as the Yanks ended up paying for Sonny Gray.
So lets see if they widen their nets on Day 2. They are loaded to the gills, but they can't become impecunious with talent. That's cost them before and it has to stop costing. Cole isn't worth Frazier plus. In fact, if Frazier is involved it must be Cole plus.

According to Marchand, it was Ohtani or Stanton since they were going to sell the former on DHing which would have precluded Stanton.

Yanks are also looking at Michael Fulmer from Detroit and Patrick Corbin from Arizona.
Padres have interest in Mitchell - Sherman
Great. Give us Torrens.
#Yankees are getting back outfielder Jabari Blash for Headley/Mitchell. This feels like NYY salary dump, tying Mitchell's upside arm to get #Padres to take all of Headley's $13M pact.
