"There move would many details to work out"

 

Is it just me, or are these types of mistakes becoming increasingly more prevalent in mainstream journalism? The other day, CP24 misspelled "announcement" as "announcment" and it really grinds my gears.

They are becoming increasingly prevalent and it is due to the speed of the modern news cycle. Things are edited less than they used to be.

Rajai to the Rays on a cheap deal wouldn't shock me.

 

Then again someone might feel the need to overpay him for his SBs.

Wow even Drew. Red Sox aren't messing around. Their middle infield depth is insane.

 

How many teams in baseball could afford to extend a QO to Stephen Drew?

 

Still waiting for a free agent comp system that doesn't favour the good/rich teams and reward their luck/success with even more draft picks. Here New York / Boston / friends, you have so many assets that we feel compelled to gift you some more!

Jays are going to end up with nothing and then do something crazy on the trade market. It's 2013 all over again.

Yeah I don't even think Selig can try and spin the QO system into anything resembling a competitive balance system. It's just a way to try and keep salaries lower

Keith Law's top free agents (full list http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9862934/robinson-cano-tops-year-free-agent-rankings-mlb)

 

1. Cano

2. Ellsbury

3. Tanaka

4. Jimenez

5. Choo

6. Santana

7. Nolasco

8. McCann

9. Drew

10. Burnett

...

27. Josh Johnson

 

Ubaldo at four seems high, although I do like him. McCann at eight seems pretty crazy.

 

Won't it be sweet when we get 2 of the top 3 (Tanaka and Cano). *Dreamz*

Or Tanaka-Choo, trade Bautista for Profar/pitcher. Ellsbury would be a good fit too if some team wants to trade a decent chip for Rasmus.

 

I just really want Tanaka lol.

Bro, you're smart, so please, don't hurt your image in that way.

 

NO Choo or Tanaka or Cano............ AA will hire one 15M dollars pitcher (I hope that his talent evaluation be good this time), Kazmir kind pitcher and trade Stroman/Sanchez ++ for Beckham+Flowers+Floyd/Dank

MLBTR:

 

Cano's $300MM asking price was the cost for the Yankees to keep him from hitting free agency, not his contract demands for right now, writes Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The ten-year, $300MM proposal was given to the Bombers before the All-Star break. Meanwhile, a return to the Bronx is still the most likely outcome, Rosenthal writes.

 

In a radio interview earlier today, Curtis Granderson said he is considering accepting the Yankees' qualifying offer of $14.1MM, echoing what his agent said last week, writes Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News. "Well, it's definitely something you've got to think about and I appreciate the Yankees extending that offer to me," Granderson said during an appearance on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.

I'm pretty sure Cashman was hoping Granderson would turn down the QO so he could use the $ to sign Beltran or Choo and not have any net loss of draft picks (lose one, gain one)

Yankees have a lot of holes to fill but getting Aroid,s 25 mil (Assuming he is gone for the whole year ) should fill two holes . Much as we hate the situation the Jays are in the Yankees are really in the deep s*** with nothing much on the farm ( IMO ).I expect them to sign Tanaka at all costs . Speculation now is a posting fee near 75 mil but who knows how the new rules might change that

Yankees need:

 

1-2 starters (2 for sure if Kuroda leaves)

Catcher

3B

A short stop for the future (and probaly sooner rather than later)

1-2 BP arms

On outfielder with some power (Ichiro and Granderson are essentially year to year now)

 

And that's if they keep Cano at enormous expense

C-

1B - Teixeira

2B - Cano (90%)

3B - could save 27M

SS - Jeter

LF -Soriano

CF -Gardner

RF - Ichiro

DH - Wells
