Does not include Sheffield, whom the O's are claimed to covet.
The only way I see this making sense is if Cashman has a deal worked out involving Andujar for a front-line starter. He wants to go for the series this year and doesn't want to take a step back while greatly improving our starting rotation. At least, that's how I see it.

Trade Deadline #TBT: @Yankees talked about acquiring David Price from the #Tigers and Cole Hamels from the #Phillies, three years ago this month. Two prospects Brian Cashman would not trade: Luis Severino and Aaron Judge. @MLB @MLBNetwork
Whatever. Cashman’s useless.
-Essex
SO, Cashman is a genius for not trading Severino, who at the time was like on a streak of 7-0 with a 1.91 ERA and about to make his MLB Debut? Or not trading Judge who was one of the most intriguing prospects the scouts had seen. Please. My only point is the deference given to Cashman is insane given his results.
I also am not a guy who thinks it is a "matter of record" that he is just blameless for everything that went on prior to 2015, he was the GM for many years. What the level of interference was during those years nobody knows. And, of course, I have said he has done a good job of building the offense and the pen; what we need is not Machado, what we need is a pitcher who can get us some quality innings and let our BP alone. My biggest fear of this team is turning it over to the BP every night in the 5th or 6th inning and needing the BP to pitch lights out to preserve wins or keep us in games for our offense. That is a large task, one that I think we were fortunate enough to get away with last post-season, but I am unsure that we will get away with this post-season.
Gray is useless, CC is old and can give us quality starts in terms of productivity but we have to manage his innings for him to be effective and to have him be somewhat fresh in October, Tanaka is meh, inconsistent, averages about 5-6 innings a start and over the last two years have given us about a 4.5 era. Sevy is awesome and can give us quality starts with a good workload. That is where we need to focus, we can't hit our way out of that problem.

The Yankees ( entire fo for we do not know accountability prior to October 2014) have not done well with SP trades or FA. Neither have many at the top end scramble had more overall success with this category. Especially in the post steroids era elongated careers.
The likely answer and the original plan was to develop our own. Instead we got further faster than any fan or I suspect the Yankees did
And Boston using the other method of loading up fa and trades have done well. Temporarily.
So it is desirable to go get 1 to 2 SP sooner than planned ( no one planned grays performance or Montgomery getting injured).
But...that requires someone to trade with them. How is the lack of good SP trades anyone on the Yankees fault?
I tend to agree that absent a good trade I'd rather hold on to our best SP prospects.
Hopefully with this explanation we now violently agree.
Take care.

I think our only real area of disagreement is how much faith we have in Cashman. Many on here act like he is a rockstar GM and I just don't think that's the case. We can go back and forth on that point all night with the many moves he has succeeded with and the many that he hasn't, which is a waste of everyone's time. But, I respect your opinion and just will move on with my own about Cashman. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is hoisting 28 up in the air this October/November.
I dont think the past moves make him good bad or indifferent. Had resources. Had mixed results given those resources. We were entertained.
The 96 to 2000 team was not his architecture.
The in between I dont know.
I have given patience to this latest era. I think it needs more. I think last years end point was a surprise and not a design. I dont think the new arms are ready. They most often lag position players in development time.
I hope I see Cashman hold to the strategy if nothing is there. We are almost at a dynasty.
I want to see if when the rubber meets the sky we believe in our way of competitive advantage or we turn into the PT Barnum Steinbrenner years.
So it's not the win loss of any one trade ( that's not always in control of anyone). I dont want to over rotate going for one year and then relying on the luxury tax re set to be foolish again.
Maybe we are saying the same things?
According to a source, the meeting, which included Hal and Hank Steinbrener, GM Brian Cashman and team president Randy Levine, was "a preliminary session and the beginning of a process in which they're evaluating the entire player development department and all that's been going on with their scouting, drafting and developing over the past seasons
The Steinbrenners, the sources said, are mostly concerned with the failure of the farm system to deliver much help to the injury-ravaged Yanks this season. They are also worried about the system's ability to provide major-league ready players for the 2014 season, when the Yanks are both trying to get their payroll below $189 million to save on luxury tax and need replacements for departing players and insurance for aging stars.

People are happy with moves he’s made that have ultimately made the team better. It’s an indisputable fact that he has. Nobody here’s saying he’s a ‘Rockstar’ GM. You just have some sort of animus towards him that’s based on, what exactly? His inability to have the farm generate SP after SP? Guess what? That pretty much sums up EVERY GM in the league.
Also, if you’re going to say things like, “Find a GM who can develop SP.”, at least offer up an alternative. You bring literally nothing to the argument if you’re going to simply toss out a throw away line like that and then move on to continue your disdain fest.
So I ask, who’s the better alternative to Brian Cashman? Do you even have one? I mean you’re literally acting as if the Yankees have been winning in spite of Brian Cashman and, nothing could be further from the truth.
If youre referring to the vets like Kevin Brown, Randy Johnson, Jared Wright....I seem to remember those all being George directives.
Then there are giys like Jeff Weaver, Carl Pavano, AJ Burnett, Javy Vasquez and Sonny Gray. Gray, Vasquez were Cy Young candidates only a year or two prior to the Yanks acquiring them.
This whole narrative is even dumber now that I outlined it. Hughes? Injuries. Probably Joba was the only poorly handled pitcher from a plan stabd point.
Machado in 2018
.327 BA .403 OBP vs RHP
.277 BA .327 OBP vs LHP
Didi, Gray, Adams, Florial, Tate, Austin, Wade , that's plenty for a guy who's leaving to come here anyway and more then another team could likely offer. Oriole's can afford to use Didi and Gray as rentals
I definitely agree. No way I wanna give them a haul of guys let alone an Andujar, guy is basically my son.

Machado has explicitly said he wants to be a Yankee so why give anything to Baltimore in a trade when he would just sign here next year as a free agent?

I could see Andujar traded and Machado here next year, but I'd only trade Andujar for an ace

My point has been about acquiring pitching and after listing these names, I am the one who is dumb about Cashman acquiring pitching talent? Got ya.

It's hard to take you seriously when you propose sending 7 guys for a couple months of Machado, then immediately respond opposed to the idea of sending a "haul of guys" when it's suggested that's a bad idea.
It's like you're just jabbering a stream of consciousness - whatever ideas pop into your head in that moment.
I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to help you understand why sometimes people either ignore you or get after you a bit. Maybe it's better to not say anything when you don't really have a conviction about something.

Dupe
Judge
Machado
Stanton
Bird
Sanchez
Didi
Hicks
Gardner
That's insane.

Yep. Any one of those guys could carry a team to a win all by himself anytime. Eg Gardy with two HRs last night and three RBI's, Bird with three,four and three RBI's in his last three games.
I think they're dangerous with everyone back healthy and Andujar in there as well but Manny is an upgrade at the plate and 3B no question. Not only would he make getting out of the first inning even tougher on a pitcher, it would make the 2nd inning really tough as well with the bottom three no slouches either. There would be no breathing room for an opposing starter and put a ton of pressure on him practically every pitch.
Now, I do hear what your saying.
Imo, they key to reading my posts (if you choose to) take them with a grain of salt, if you read something you really like, feel free to lmk and engage or give me a +1 to top off my dragon energy.
Happy Weekend Brother, have a great one.
No question about that and didn't mean to slight Manny's impact in any way. It makes the top of the lineup incredibly hard for a pitcher to get through and that effect would be felt down the rest of the it. Seeing the start of Yankee games would be must see TV.
It was just the first time in a while I saw our complete healthy lineup, and realized again how tough it is. Adding Manny makes its even tougher but if we don't get him, having Miggy in there it's still an imposing lineup. With how they're playing now it's easy to forget they're getting it done without two All Star guys in Torres and Sanchez.
Not a big Kay guy but I was home by 3 today and have him on yes, to his credit it's been a really good listen/watch since there's no big Mike on tv
Glad el Gary is progressing well , Romine has been an admirable substitute all season.
