Paul is a very, very angry man. When you see those old man yells at cloud memes - this is who they had in mind.
The guy literally can't go two posts without calling people names and basically just acting like a complete asshole unprovoked.
I don't understand why people who have different opinions than Â
Paul aren't "true" Yankees fans. I started rooting for the Yankees in 1993 as a kid--that's over 25 years now. I'm not a real fan because I want Harper or Machado?

Why WOULDN'T you want Harper on this team? You prefer Voit and Bird over him? What a strange opinion.
Aren't you the guy who ranted and raved about staying under the luxury tax threshold? As if the Yankees are spending YOUR money. They are one of the most profitable (if not the most profitable) teams in the world. Now is not the time to be cheap.
You have this odd need to talk down to fellow Yankees fans and you come off like a jackass.
but why give up a bunch of assets and pay Arenado, when they can just pay Machado right now?
I wonder if he was steadfast about play shortstop. That, or they may view Machado's personality as a risk at that price and length whereas Arenado is the better player without it. Still, it begs the question. If you *could* (uncertain) get a TOR starter for Andujar and sign Machado, that's probably a better option than just trading Andujar for Arenado and signing him to an extension.
Now that we've seen the true insanity of the current money the top free agents command
I say if your going to give up that kind of coin
Let's wait and hope Mike Trout the Jersey boy shakes loose somehow
He might actually be worth the price
Ok have at me boys
I expect a good wippen here
He could also sign an extension with the Angels who can spend when they want to and likely will want to move heaven and earth to get him to stay. He doesn't seem like a guy who totally loves the spotlight either so he may prefer that. There are just a lot of unknowns and as good as Trout is, his FA in two years shouldn't effect what the Yankees do today. That would be different if this were 2015 or 2016 but this team is damn close with a lot of guys in their prime so they should be focused on winning the WS this year and next and worry about 2+ years from now when the time comes.
whatever way you want to consume your entertainment. I've been going to Yankee games since 1965. Believe me the money I spent in the Stadiums 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 was real.
There are things about the Yankees I can't stand at this point starting with the L&L boys. Blind loyalist = fool to me.
If anyone has a problem with that it's their problem. I could care less about how anyone evaluates "fandom".
For the record I want the Yankees to sign Harper too. Anyone who doesn't want to add a career 400 OBP player to the Yankees for nothing but Stein kids money can't be a real fan right?
The Red Sox out spent the Yankees by 50 million last year. How did that work out? Even after all the Yankees winter moves so far the Red Sox are still spending 25 million more and they don't have Kimbrel back yet.
Martino says the Yankees could trade for Arenado sooner rather than later Link - ( New Window )
My cynical side interprets this as a Yankees-sourced leak applying some pressure to Machado.
But Martino is more of a Mets shill, I'm not sure he'd be a guy NYY would use to get out such a message.
You might be onto something there. It has been reported by many that Manny WANTS to be a Yankee. Maybe the Yanks are giving him the "we have other options, act now" message?
Its just my opinion, but if we had to choose between Machado and Harper, I'm all in on Machado (not a surprise to anyone here, I'm sure). A lot easier to plug him at 3B, park Andujar at DH and Stanton in LF than it is to try and fit Harper in.

How is that easier than just rotating Harper/Judge/Stanton between LF/RF/DH? And giving each of the big sluggers a "half day" off twice a week would hopefully help keep them healthy and close to 100%.

Harper, Machado and Kimbrel. Let's build a 400mm superteam. Why not?

Because playing LF and RF are completely different things- Harper and Judge have not played LF in years, if ever. Stanton really struggled in LF defensively early last year, as it was a positions that he had not played before. If he was to go out there regularly, he would probably improve over time. But asking the 3 to rotate in and out of two different OF roles is probably asking for trouble.
Reds are making progress in a trade for Sonny Gray. Â
Reds, a favorite all along, are still trying for sonny gray, as @Ken_Rosenthal said. Teams are talking about prospects and possibly a draft choice. NYY hoping to complete a deal soon.
Sign them all. Although I can't stand looking at Kimbrel and the Yankees don't need him. But Manny and Harper? Sure why not. Not my money and no one needs to take up a collection for the Yankees.
He had a pretty good year in high A which is a tough hitters league. Big kid not sure if he can stay at C or not.

In Sonny Gray talks, Yankees have shown interest in 2B prospect Shed Long and C prospect Tyler Stephenson from Reds, among others, who have a nice prospect list. A draft pick could also factor into a potential Sonny deal.
gets all Philadelphia TV stations. It's south of Philadelphia and for all practical purposes a suburb of Philadelphia even if it's outside the the actual radius. Mike Trout is a Philadelphia guy.
really like Long. Real pop despite his size (he's underrated due to his size in my view). Not big on Stephenson. Can't throw, oft-injured and despite his size his pop hasn't really shown up. Long would be a nice get. I think he could be a Neil Walker level MLB regular.
RE: RE: I didn't think you could trade picks in MLB? Â
The Reds have the third overall comp pick in what is termed "Compensatory Round A"- which are the 6 comp picks that come after round 1. That would be a VERY big pickup.
Assuming that AJ Pollack signs for more than $50M, that pick would be the #37 overall pick, If Pollack signs for less than $50, it would be the #36 overall pick.
Just for point of reference, the slot value for the #36 overall pick was $1.967,900. That would likely increase by some percentage this season, which would add $2M to the draft pool IF the Yanks got that pick from the Reds. That would be HUGE.
The people there were nuts about the Eagles. That passion did not seem to extend to the Phillies. Trout knew going into the draft that the Yankees were interested in him and he was thrilled with the prospect of putting on the pinstripes in Yankee Stadium. It is not a Philly suburb but it sure seemed like it during football season.

“Have heard there is indeed a mystery team in Manny derby, and also recently heard that team had the high bid (impression also was that the surprise team wasn’t necessarily his preferred landing spot but maybe $ will decide)”

You can trade compensatory picks.
Mike Trout is from Millville, which is deep South Jersey. He's not from the philly suburbs. He is however a Phillies fan growing up.

If he gets out of LA, he’s heading to Philly.
