Yeah, definitely seems like he's selling a bit low, he just was quoted as saying there are many balls in the air, so maybe there's an accompanying move (Gardner for MLB-ready pitching?). As it is, though, all of those relievers on the 40 man roster are going to get a shot in spring training to stick, I probably should start a dedicated bullpen thread.So...why? Doesn't seem like much of a return for a pretty solid reliever.
Again, and this is what I believe, if we really are looking for the Yankees to really contend for a championship in 2017 and beyond, selling off bullpen pieces is the smart thing to do. I could be very wrong about this in the end, I admit.So...why? Doesn't seem like much of a return for a pretty solid reliever.
It just doesn't seem like the return is particularly interesting. Why not wait until the trade deadline?Again, and this is what I believe, if we really are looking for the Yankees to really contend for a championship in 2017 and beyond, selling off bullpen pieces is the smart thing to do.

They must really believe in Lindgren, I guess.So our pen is now Miller and Betances and scrubs, and Miller might be traded too.
I agree, I think we should wait and see what he does here.Some thoughts on Twitter that Cashman may take those DET prospects and use them in another deal tonight. I don't think he's done with moves today.
Yeah, saw that too, I thought it was a bit obnoxious but pretty funny.Saw Cash on MLB a few hours ago, said "Sorry Charlie" about Bird not being in the majors next year.
I kind of agree with this, although it is true that NY is thin at potential starters in the high minors after trading Greene and Phelps and Warren in the past two offseasons.This trade baffles me. Maybe the Yakees see something special in one of these guys, but they look like AAA rotation depth.
Wilson is replaceable, and if Lindgren is healthy he may well be better, but there just doesn't seem to be much value in this deal for the Yanks, especially with the crazy prices relievers are getting in FA
I think you might be on to something. How high is WAS on Taylor's potential? They might have some interest in Gardner too. Those pieces don't match up by themselves, but could be the basis for some discussion.I am totally guessing here, but WAS signed both Shawn Kelley and Yusmeiro Petit today. Drew Storen is a FA after this year and clearly not happy in WAS, I wonder if Cashman is trying to get him on the cheap, which would also solve the problem of NY's pen being too lefthanded.
