Stanton traded to Yankees

[GoJays1562]

Stanton Judge and Sanchez. Yeah we are screwed.

[Abomination]

I think this is a great deal for the Yankees atm, but I'll also say that if they aren't able to reset their luxury tax this year, it'll also be an incredibly expensive one for them. They still need one or two starting pitchers at the very least, although I'd imagine they'll try to trade for one dangling Frazier as bait.

[Spanky99]

I don't think so.

 

H2H?

 

I read Sandy Alcantara was in the package, but the rest remains a mystery.

 

Thanks, brosoffs!

Apparently they will still be able to get under the tax this year, which makes the deal all that much better:

If the Jays were to completely punt this season, a deal involving Stroman and/or Happ would actually be a reasonable fit for both sides*

Yes! Just got to deposit some $$. I'll send it in a bit

[Governator]

I mean.. f***.

Judge, Stanton and Hicks the best OF in baseball?

Judge, Stanton and Hicks the best OF in baseball?

 

No, and Judge + Stanton won't be playing OF together

[Jonn]

Judge, Stanton and Hicks the best OF in baseball?

 

Stanton said awhile back that he’s interested in DHing. So he will probably do a lot of that.

[Jonn]

 

That poor bastard.

[Bobthe4th]

Judge, Stanton and Hicks the best OF in baseball?

 

Without question. They need to trade at least one of Gardner and Ellsbury because of their salaries, but either would a very good 4th outfielder too.

I've been trying to trade Ellsbury for years unsuccessfully in Fantasy. I don't like the Yankees chances of being able to move him.

 

I could see them moving Gardner though. There would be a market for him.

Stanton and Judge by themselves is enough. They could put Knoblauchs ghost in left and it would still be the best. They could have 3 guys hit 40+ homers. #BronxBombers

They'll likely rotate Ellsbury/Gardner (depending on who they keep), with Stanton and Judge for the DH.

[Brownie19]

Lmao. Marlins got fleeced. Jeter doing a great job. 2018 World Series MVP

 

f*** I hate this. Jeter is a 4% bobblehead. He has nothing to do with anything.

[Bobthe4th]

Yeah I agree. Gardner is only signed for this season too at a relatively cheap $12m (including a $1m trade kicker). In a salary dump situation, even the Jays would be interested, but I think a contender with an outfielder need would give up an OK prospect for him.

That's not really true - he's the public frontman and no doubt has a much bigger say in ownership decisions than a normal minority owner.

[Bobthe4th]

 

Yeah it's the obvious move, though as mentioned above Ellsbury is more likely to be kept than Gardner IMO.

[UKBlueJaysFan]

I do hope the Yankees contacted Marcus Stroman prior to making this trade. #communication. On a serious note, that’s the AL East sown up for next 5 years then especially when the Yankees get Harper next year.

If the Yankees can't move Ellsbury(they can eat half of his contract), he'll be used the same as last season as a 4/5th OF. Frazier likely gets moved for SP.

You should tweet that to him.

Harper isn’t shaving his beard and cutting his hair for the Yankees. Guy is in love with himself. He will get the money he wants in tons of places. The Yankees will most likely target Machado.

I'd be very surprised if they kept both Gardner and Ellsbury as it'd be difficult to reset the luxury tax penalties once they've rounded out the roster.

Depends... we'll see how it unfolds.

They only get the money if he doesn't opt out though?
