Get it done Cashman. And have them include Scherzer in the deal.

Lennon: Harper could solve Yanks’ problem at first

Hmmm...very intriguing.

 

[Alsacs]

I can’t see Angelos trading his star to the Yankees unless they paid for it In prospects.
As has been mentioned previously when DeGrom is brought up it would cost a real package and Yankee fans have said they don’t think Cashman will pay in real prospects.
Thus this Machado stuff is being leaked by Baltimore to probably try and get Cleveland or other teams up their offers with the Yankees involved.

If you guys got Machado this is your lineup.

Gardner LF
Judge RF
Machado 3B
Stanton DH
Didi SS
Sanchez C
Hicks CF
Andujar 1B
Gleyber 2B

I don’t see it happening though. As it would cost something real to Baltimore.

If the Nats traded Harper their fanbase would revolt losing him in FA not as much.
If the Yankees are going to dangle real prospects go after Madison Bumgarner in SF if the Mets won’t deal DeGrom.
Bats aren’t the Yankees problem. Every team goes hot and cold but they end up usually what the back of the baseball card averages out too..

Realistically, Machado might be better at transitioning to 1st if the Yankees really want to think outside the box, but Harper would add another left handed bat to an already right handed heavy line-up. Looking ahead though the Yankees may have an outfield spot available next year if they don't resign Gardy and if Frazier is included in a trade for a pitcher. Frankly, I'm all for sitting pat at the moment and going with what they have. Tanaka comes back today and Sanchez and Torres will be back after the break so the line-up and rotation should be set. Only pitcher I would make a play for is DeGrom and he is probably unattainable.

He's 25 yo and grew up a fan of Mickey Mantle. That's both cool and huh?

Like you said, probably won't happen, but I love that lineup. I don't want to trade either Torres or Andujar period.

Mantle ended his career playing 1st Base too. Stars aligned.

How good is Machado at 3rd base because I love Andujar there?

 

[Alsacs]

How good is Machado at 3rd base because I love Andujar there?

He has won 2 gold gloves at 3rd and in 2013 won the Platinum glove meaning he was the best fielder of all positions in the AL that year.
He is a SS so he can play 3rd easily.

He's great.

The thing is, he's gonna be really expensive.

I think the opportunity cost is too high.

I'd rather the resources go to pitching arms.

Since the Steinbrenner boys like to stay under the cap, then it's gotta be Andujar for the value.

Tell you the truth I have been very pleased with Andujar’s glove. Bat is obviously there. Just needs a little better pitch selection.

 

[Noexcuse]

Sounds like Machado and Britton for Frazier, German and Drury is a possibility, or at least being discussed. Or maybe just bs.

That does not seem like enough.

If you can sign Machado to a long term deal.

I think the Orioles would want more.

 

[Noexcuse]

Basically a 2 month rental. I wouldn’t do the trade unless it’s before tonight’s game.

Yeah there's no way that's actually the deal.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Brutal loss. Cant let the ONE semblance of a MLB hitter on the mlbs worst freekin team the Orioles beat you. Would also be nice if we could you know score a bunch of runs like Boston is against these awful teams.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

We'd have won if Cash pulled the trigger on the Machado trade 5 hours ago.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

3.5

Nineteen runs in three games is not bad.

already prepping for the wild card game
