BREAKING: Source says Yankees and Carlos Beltran have agreed to a three-year deal. More details to come.
Joe D Reid said:I think this makes Wells the backup catcher.
Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:What type of pitching return would Gardner bring? Anything better than Phelps?

They should sign Manny in that case. he's great at thatLuckyBen said:Some does have to cut off Ellsbury to the infield.
Savin Hillbilly said:
And Ichiro the utility infielder!
Seriously, the theory that Cashman is daring the top brass to fire him just gets more and more plausible.

How can they trade Robertson though? Isn't he the heir apparent?rembrat said:
A #4 with a contract? He would have to be paired up with a young, cost controlled stud to bring back anything of significance. Gardner + Robertson + something, anything in the farm could do it.

I hope so but seriously doubt it. He sucked there back when he had some mobility.knucklecup said:Are they really considering Soriano for second base?
Hoplite said:Awesome. I've been hoping all off-season that the Yankees would sign Beltran. In my opinion, he's one of the worst uses of their money. And he got three years to boot!
At this point, I think the Yankees realize that they aren't going to compete without Cano and Tanaka, so they're just signing the biggest name players possible to try to sell tickets.

That's what Michael Kay said on MLB Network yesterday. Their ratings were horrible last year, even when they were winning in the first half.
Besides, Beltran can hit in the playoffs if they make it. How many years could they go with a silent post season offense?

Savin Hillbilly said:
If they do, doesn't his salary still count for luxury tax purposes?
